are you saying you don't trust your own presedent? i hope so, cause if he was mine, i would go hijack a plane and blow up the... oops offtopic.
They say every man has his price. And if i owned a large search engine and someone like microsoft for example offered me a large sum of money, i would want to take if off their hands.
wasn't the riaa going to get a massive load of ip's so they could use them to slowdown filesharing systems? now they can pay for them by renting them out to companies who need a whole load of ip's to spoof vote search engines.
How do I get rid of those water marks on ceilings? i think they are coming from pipes or a tank in the roof. I have tried painting over them, but it doesn't work (the water causes the paint to run). Also, i have hired a plumber to check for leaks but he found none, and the marks continue to appear. Anyway, What are your views on water marking bank notes? i don't know how it works in America, but here we have water marks on our money to tell if its been faked. Is this a useless technology? (seeing as anyone who had the correct machine could also fake the money with a water mark). Also, i heard someone over there was in court because they found out how to fake a watermark, and they wanted to tell everyone, but the company who made them said they couldn't. Is this a restriction of free speech? isn't that protected under the first amendment? isn't the first amendment some sacred law that signified everything your country was based on and couldn't be taken away by anyone no matter how rich or powerful they were?
Yes, if a non-US product decides to detect FBI trojans, the international law (section 25.5.1a) will come into effect. 25.5.1a clearly states that the USA is the "undisputed God-Ruler of all that is". This law will allow the USA to demand that the offending country hands over those responsible. It will also allow FBI agents to travel across to the country and arrest anyone who looks like the suspect and hold them in America without trail for a maximum of 14 days. Persons in the US on the other hand will be treated differently: independent programmers will be arrested under the DMCA for either writing or discussing methods that could allow trojans to be detected (that will soon include _any_ trojan). Companies will not take the risk, as those that do will be 'fixed'. Being 'fixed' is a very unpleasant business, so i suggest you drop this right now.
They should replace the fans with robots. That way they might actually be able to sing in-time and tune. Also, they could smash stuff up after the game _carefully_ - cutting tables into neat little bits before throwing them at the opposing teams fans and not at passers by or camera-crews. You could deactivate the most violent ones.
I think this experiment could teach us allot about stupid people, and how they behave in packs.
Too right. We have to play it the same way and pirate _everything_ - Books, Music, Films, TV, Software, Games... Only by players from countries like china or what ever where they don't bother with stupid macrovision or SDMI. Show those corporate pigs whos boss.
hot Damn, i feel like crashing a plane into something
What? they don't sell players without SDMI anymore? that's just too bad, seeing as in a few months (SSSCA) your country will be full of electronics that doesn't come without SDMI:)
In the future all devices will include IP protection systems - PCs, phones, MP3 players, washing machines, satellites, planes. All of which will have been cracked years before, but will still have to be implemented because its the law. Hopefully, one day, one of your satellites or planes, will contain so much of this useless circuitry, that the weight of the redundant components will make it fall out of the sky and hit congress. ooops, that was an inappropriately timed comment directed at Americans...
What about using it on a transparent flat LCD? You could give windows flags like the LetPeopleOnTheOtherSideOfTheScreenSeeThis and the TurnScreenIntoOneWayGlassSoICanStareAtThatGirlAccr ossTheOffice flags.
At the moment i think it could be used for playing qauke and doing a spreadsheet at the same time "No, im not playing quake, im _multitasking_". Or "Someone else must have been playing quake on this machine and it burned into the monitor, but really _im_ doing a spreadsheet." Also you could use it for slowing down your computer if it doesn't have one of those "Turbo" buttons for older games with no frame capping.
I know, they did the same to me... so i emailed them back asking how _long_ (in hours per month) i could use their *unlimited* internet access package... They never replied.
>[dimitry wassit - wasnt a crime where he commited the act, not sure if this applies]
He wasn't arrested for writing it, he was arrested for talking about it (which he did in the US). Also he was arrested on the grounds that he was wearing a blue stripe suit at the time, (people wearing blue are not protected under the first amendment - freedom of speech in the US (3-27.5 A/D2) Although the court is currently under debate as to the suit being blue - evidence of a mustard stain on the suit could invalidate it under the blue-suit law.
This is true and not a piss-take of America and its stupid laws, i am not a troll, or a karma whore.
I'm gonna bomb the BT Tower on monday, anyone with me? meet there about lunch time on the south side. I was thinking maybe crashing a small plane or helicopter into it, (you could do something that would need an air ambulance (big car crash), then get in the helicopter, and strangle the unsuspecting paramedics and then take control. the towers not very wide so the structure would probably fail easily, and you know how those 60's buildings are built to *withstand* such impacts (cough, wtc).
Anyway, that should take them out.. seeing as they are responsible for my crappy slow internet access, i think its poetic justice, don't you?
oh, shit, i forgot, i should have sent this anon instead of putting my user name on it....:(
Oh yes, i forgot about SuSE and Red Hat, obviously both _major_ multinational corporations with big monopolies. My point in the original post was, that Microsoft are obviously evil, and since money being the root of all evil (mentioned in the article) and Billy G is the richest man on the world, logic would show that he is the most evil man in the known population of earth:
money = root@*.evil.net
BillGates = richest man in world
Therefore Bill is root of all evil
Now you can mod me as off-topic.
Hell, since 9/11 i've been modded down so many times for taking the piss out of the Americans, making unapropriate comments, and pleading for people to kill bush and bomb congress, you might as well mod me down some more
Microsoft take the whole cut as theres no middle-man. Not only that, but they sell for $100 per unit and more. Their production costs can't be that high, and their idea of not printing manuals must save them a bit of cash. Not only that, but they can sell site licences aswell. And most people pay them for windows with out even realising it. If they were a record company, they would have about 10 artists, all of them super-stars (crappy boy-bands mostly). There would only be about 2 other record companies in the world. There would be stores dominated by rows of Microsoft label CDs selling for $100 a go.
Thanks, that should make some good reading... (lol. die political american scum!!!! HA HA HA HA think you can screw with the first amendment? bill this:!! CRASH!!!!!!)
To be honest, i really think the world would be a different and better place if they had hit congress and the whitehouse.
When the engine comes off the plane, most of the fuel is burned off before it hits the ground. Also, its designed to contain itself, basically its crap as a bomb. Also, it would be very difficult to drop it with any accuracy, it was never designed for this.
I really think you should find out the facts before you post such stupid ideas. Good thing you wern't incharge for sept 11
Could someone please crash a plane into congress??? I reckon (with some flight sim experimentation) that you could hit congress _and_ the whitehouse with one plane!!! What do you guys think? could it be done? You would need to get up some speed, and also be a bit off center so as not to hit the needle head on, and you probably wouldn't be able to total the buildings, but you could propably get rid of Bush and most of the inuhviduals. Ofcourse, the up side of a long, low, and fast approach is that it would be harder to detect on radar and have enough time to evacuate (does anyone have the evac. times for the buildings?)
Also, i noticed that you can see the whitehouse and congress from the air when near the pentagon, why would the terrorists go for the pentagon, when the whitehouse would have been a _far_ superior target representing the whole country
If a government wants to start censoring the Internet in their country, they have to be careful. If the laws there are already strict then they have no problem and can go right ahead without worrying about riots. Otherwise, they must slowly turn the people around with PR to make them think that the censorship would be for their own good.
For example, they might start off by saying that the Internet promotes violence and criminal activity or terrorism. They might also explain that criminals and terrorists can use the Internet to communicate and collaborate without being traced. Another point would be that potential criminals could have access to sensitive information such as explosive techniques, or the locations of various potential targets. More recently they could put forward the point that newer trends such as p2p file sharing spread child pornography, graphical violence, and pirate material such as music, algorithms which could endanger an economy.
After this PR campaign a majority of people could be persuaded that Internet censorship is a very good idea. Given that allot (even most?) people have never used the Internet or not regularly, these will be easily led. The government could then proceed to censor. But of course that would never, ever in a million years happen in any civilized country would it?:)
What about a great fire-wall of Bush? A system to stop G.W.Bush from having access to any government/millitary secrets including nuclear launch codes. Also to stop him accessing politically sensitive sites like EasyDictatorships.com that might give him ideas. Or even 'The Limits to Freedom in Six Easy Steps' Guide going around usenet. I for one would feel much safer knowing that a little child such as Bush didn't have access to things that he could use to hurt himself, or even worse, others.
My solution to world problems:..... MASS REAL-LIFE DEATHMATCH!!!!!! (last one to the gun shop gets fragged first!!!) now that _would_ be fun.
I think Billy G should transfer his entire worth to... Me. yes, i should become the richest man on the planet. This would solve the following issues:
1) Microsoft would win the legal battle between them and the court, as i would pay off the judges involved with a small portion of my new fortune.
2) I would never require a job, thus creating one free job.
3) I would put this money back into the economy, by buying several expensive cars (auto industry) planes (much needed money to the aviation industry) and houses (um.. anyway).
4) I would by all advertising space on the tube, billboards, tv and radio, and fill it with blank space, thus freeing people from dumb advertising.
5) I would offer Bin Laden a handsom sum if he promised to stop being nasty to people and go retire to a cave somewhere. I would also pay Bush to stop being president, thus saving america.
I've had enough of this. Microsoft has gone too far - they dominate the market by putting themselves in an advantagous position from the start, killing all competition, they over charge for products that cost little to be reproduced (money printing), they accuse others of being irresponsible for developing open software and talking about security holes, and then they try to ply a stupid court by screwing them over with a deal like this that ensures the next generation of poor kids will grow up only knowing about microsoft. This is to far, i say we sue them for monopolising and anti-trus... oh... yeah... nevermind
The RIAA has said today, that it is conserned after seeing reports that file-sharing services such as Gnutella have increased in activity recently after Afgan childeren have begun download eminem, britny and agulera songs that they have missed over the past few years. The main concern highlighted by the recording industry is that there is simply no market penatration in the country - with cd sales currently standing at 0, per month. There are legal debates as to weather this means there is 'piracy' in afganistan.
The porn industry is on an economic up, after the new market of Afganistan has opened up. Hardcore Movie(tm) downloads are said to be at an all time high.
HEY!!! Its Professor Leibstrum!!! (Mr Bushes sock puppet from 2DTV)
Hello Mr. President, its me, professor Leibstrum, and i'm here to tell you about "secure networks". You see, many years ago, some clever people had an idea to make a big clump of computers connect with each other. But they didn't want any 'evil' russians (Bush butts in: Yeah! bloody ruskis) to break it. So, they made loads and loads and loads of wires to join up the computers lots and lots of times to create a 'network'. Soon, the network spread, and people invented ways to make it easyer to use with lots of pretty colours and buttons (Bush: And mickey mouse?) yes, and Mickey too. Nowdays this 'network' as we call it, is use mainly to trade dirty pictures (Bush: Like the ones of Misses Bush?) Um... yeah, anyway, the network was designed to be really hard to break, but _someone_ made it all commercial and public and now so many people use it, its hard to know whats going on... (Bush: So can we have a new one professor? huh? huh?) Well, no... you see, we're kind of low on money at the moment, what with paying for that war, and giving all the major corporations of America money, and that rather expensive missile system... so, no, we can't.

"Especially since for many unscrupulous businesses, ratings in search engines directly translate to dollars."
And how will the new system stop this?
