Copyright,, ok let's talk copyright.
If two paintings by two different artists are
about the same thing.Both represent the statue of Liberty.It's not because both paintings are representing the same thing that they have a right to sue each other for copyright,and that one will win.
This is ridiculous.Same applies for songs.
If two songs have the same chords ( a 12 bar blues ) that dosent make one the copy of the other.Then why bother with threats from Apple.
If the theme is reasonably different and not just a copy , but different,so that's it's easy for anyone to say they look alike but aint it, i dont see how Apple could sue and win.

record and convert.
Gees are they THAT clueless ?
I tried a lil trick,tok the analog out from the cd player in the comp,hooked a 1/8 stereo jack and plugged it in line in of the sound card.All i had to do was select the line in instead of the cd.
When you stop thinking everything is digital and think analog and use analog there is nothing that can prevent making a copy.
And by the way Analog still sounds better than crappy digital.
I read quite a bit.the document is very wide and is covering a lot of grounds.
Interrestingly enough the concept of unauthorised intrusion.Example if i do not
authorise a company to install for example a cookie that reveals personal info, to use spyware,to track my mouse through JAVA or anything shitty like this, this might be the basis for criminal prosecution ?
Much of the intrusions a bunch of companies do on a daily basis could be reported and considered as cracking ?
It will be interresting to see what kind of use we can get out of this to boost our
privacy on the net.
IF they make it terrorism to get in computers without authorisation i beleive much of the
people who are making their trademark to steal email lists , install software on comps
use spyware without implicit consent of users
will begin to leave us alone.
I might sound a bit confused.But through this i beleive that if computer intrusion is
taken seriously and that prosecutions lead to life in prison that this just might be our best hope for a bit more privacy !
Sounds crazy but i beleive we may all be safer and we may get rid of a bunch of problems if the privacy groups jump in and
exploit these new rules to their full extent.
The real case is this.When a computer handles a transaction there is no human involvement.
There is no salary to pay !Noone to handle money.handling cash is costly ( so they say )
This is the more sinister reason why they are
pressing you so hard to use the atm instead of the teller at the bank.
They dont want convenience for you,in their eyes you are just more cash pouring in their pockets.They just want to have as little expense as possible to maximise their profits.
Certainly the little guys can find it useful
and practical.But the real reason is to get rid of the workers ! Maximise profit !
Sinister but real.
Next time you visit the bank just ask how many tellers are out of a job since the ATM
has come in the building.....
Smells like rotting meat to me.. whhheeeee
Im sure there is more out there.
Vultures are masses in business,and my guess is
that many more companies are doing the same.
We're at war,whatever you want to call it.
The encryption techniques are making us possibly
more vulnerable to attacks.
The speed at which encrypted messages can be broken and analysed is critical.Messages that
use encryption are literally dangerous to the
national security.An obstacle to information gathering by the legitimate agencies.
We as citizens of the world,must give up on our little comforts,our little privacy in order to have a fighting chance against more attacks which will certainly come.
As of now, i wont use encryption in my messages or emails.I wont refuse to have Carnivor look at all my communications.
I do not object to them recording my phone and cell calls.For two basic reasons.
1 - They are trying to save our hides
2 - they are trying to save our hides.
Simple enough ! I am willing to let them do
whatever is necessary for them to protect my family.
If it means for me to loose my privacy as a
form of collaboration with them to make it :
so be it !
The ones who have nothing to hide are in the clear.
They have nothing to fear.
Those who have something to hide are the ones being targeted.And i beleive the institutions
and people in position to make these calls right now, will all be making this in the common interrest.War is war .
I strongly urge all to let em do their jobs
give up those little insignificant fights about individual rights to privacy for the common good of this country.
When war is over then ill be making my way back to the barricade and make sure that all
is back to normal.But for now.Even if i havent been in the USA but for a bit over a year, i give my vote of confidence to the agencies and the hell with privacy till all this mess is over.
Once again the only ones who have to fear anything are the ones that have something to hide.

As much i like them there is,i guess, noone who meeds more violence than what we're confronted with.
Sports are in question too.
When so much senseless violence is taking place,and so much horror is been aired for all of us to see,there is no need for more.
My kid yesterday said there was a " cool " horror movie coming on..i just switched the channel to Fox and told him " this is the real thing " these people flying out the building falling to their death..you see there..yeah that thing falling out ? they are real people being murdered.." he looked hypnotised. lowered his head and like so many times before went to his room to read.
We dont need these cartoons.
What i need right now is a bit of peace and to gather our strength for the inevitable war.
So long senseless and gratuitous violence we dont need you no more..we got better,we got the real thing now.!
same applies to the #redhat channel.
dont feel alone.
most the channels i went to were about the same except one #linpeople.and i had a few good questions not " how do i install xmms ? " they were so useful id kiss them.
This is unfortunate.it also varies with WHO is on the channel at a particular moment.
In breif i was making RPM's for various of their packages on my computer for personal use,while talking to the developpers on a silc channel.I was simply told they dont want packages by outsiders.Nada no never niet.
I simply deleted their software and use conventional IRC.
They would pay me that id never use this.
Their project can die !
First is a change in the design of the aircraft
itself.Why not make new airplanes where the cockpit is not acessible by the inside...but instead has a private outside door ?
Second stun gas in the passenger area.
Anything goes out of hand..psssssssssss
everyone to sleep till we reach the airport..
night night
Simple ?
Detecting such a file is very difficult.it has been done by a professor using statistical analysis and he was not totally successful either.
But yes they can be detected,but my opinion is
that for the foreseeable future these detections
are left to the NSA and FBI supercomputers.
How cool they were..So strange..Like it was just another story.Professionalism ? I cant help but wonder if they thought it was real or not..
Just another image from a movie.I was there in the living room looking at the morning news..Then it came.So unreal i thought it was a sequel to War of the Worlds at first.The came the schock a second airplane and people falling out of the sky.I wish to thank those reporters for being there and congradulate them for the way they kept their cool.I must admit that if they were screaming and crying like the bystanders,they might have created more panic which at the time seemed unnecessary.
My fear now is about biological and chemical attacks.I wont say nuclear.Though the threat is real.But to all of those who been out there on the front line for us , to let us know what went on and that contributed to keep us informed,the cameramen,the soundmen,the mixers,the guys doing the satellite uplinks,to all of those who are there on the frontline for us,thanks.
Hopefully they will never rebuild such a trap
that was for some a symbol.Buildings like these are a danger,and now a target.
To all of you on ground zero,out there rescuing people, thank you !
You're making a lot more sense with this comment

8 years ago i was recording with one of my buds
what would turn out to be a major hit in bars.
We were discussing digital recording and were a bit on the techno trip..
I was telling him this.
In a few years we wont need a producer and a label.We will have a computer,a connection and sell our music direct to a consumer.Hell plug a rom module in his comp, swipe his card in a slot
and get the recording.No record company.
No need to make THEM do money with what we
wotked for with OUR money on OUR time.
Maybe it's come to age now.
No labels,no contracts,Just you and me baby.

Laws in a country that makes people who act legally in their countries,all of a sudden become criminals to be arrested in the USA just go too far.But that's what people get for not reacting and being active to voice their opinions.As long as the people have a government
for the people,by the corporations for the corporations,things will only get worse.
You can't expect that anything will be voted that
will be in the public's interrest.Look at the latest White House decisions.Corp's 10 People 0.Even drilling in the Alaskan wildlife refuge has been permitted by the President
of the people for the corporations,and the heck with the people who elected me Bush.
What is really needed is a tidal wave in politics,where people will get back what should have been theirs al along.
The control of politicians.
I elect a guy..i pay him a salary to solve problems for me.
Not to cause me some or delay solving them.
Not to be the puppet of a few companies that paid him his campaign secretary.
And as long as it's the way the campaings work,we'll keep being ruled by corporations and their representatives,be at the mercy of private laws and laws made to control us.
The net free of control ? maybe not but then again who is going to stand up and try to get elected to change things at next election ?

There is a SILC server package.This allows one
to have a private server,and have private conversations ! Yes if you use a public server
there is a chance some kiddo will try to crack his way in, but on a private server for real work
and conferencing this is not only promising but also convenient.Ill have my server and only the people i need to conference with will have the server name. So private server
add to it encryption.That's ok in my book for doing conferencing..which is it's main goal if i read right (Secure Internet Live Conferencing )
