She did try to argue for being able to view DVD's on other platforms, but was cut off. How ever, the judges have read this and have seen arguements to this point from Amicus briefs :
Judge: Now that argument ? so this is the argument that inhibits fair use.
Sullivan: It inhibits lawful users from making fair uses and not infringing uses. It stops people from playing the DVD on a different digital --
Judge: Alright, let?s look at that. Some of the people ? I guess your brief, along with the amici, argue it eliminates fair use. Now, is that what?s happening here?
Sullivan: Your Honor, under the statute as interpreted by the District Court, there can be no access to digitally encrypted DVDs even if you want to make fair use of them. He has prohibited fair users from using the DeCSS along with all the --

Sullivan: Correct, Your Honor.
Judge: Does that stop fair use?
Sullivan: It stops fair use in digital form, Your Honor
It all depends on what you define as windows software. There are shops still running windows 3.11 and apps written for 3.11 - doubt he counted that. Does that finding also include freeware/shareware? Not on Amazon...
How about all the MS applications created by things like visual basic, foxpro, java, etc...?
The most exaggerated metric to show a low marker is to say "current software sold by Amazon". Please - I don't for one moment believe they sell every possible piece of software for windows out there.
Let me guess - you're in St. Louis?? Doesn't matter if you have a B.S. or M.S. in Computer science, they want to slot you in a visual basic job here. It's impossiable to find C++ jobs here.
Grocery stores are the worst at profiling. They try the hardest to do consumer profiling and not just with the internet. Up in the Chicago area, the stores almost mandate you have one of their "preferred shopper" cards by posting one price on the shelf for the "preferred shopper" (although they make it look like the normal price - only in very fine print does it say "preferred shopper" price) and in fine print put the price for non-preferred customers (which is much higher). Only when you're at the register do you realize what they did. I found out one day when I was up there visiting my family and made a purchase.
They have been doing this for about 15 years now too. My mother understood the profiling but finaly after many years broke down and got one. But she got it in our cat's name, and it is amazing the junk mail "mega catlin" gets.
The only way to combat profiling is to always give wrong information. If you mess with their statistics, they won't rely on them as much.
I had a friend in college who grew up in India, and she said they were taught english since they were 6 years old. She said English was much better for technical and analytical detail, but that Hindi was better for more descriptive things like cursing people out;)
Looking at this the first thing I notice is its geared for right-handed people. Can you flip the screen upside-down?
To finish my rant, many of these palmtops are geared for right handed people. How about offering left-handed models (or trade-ins), or being more neutral?
I got mine a month ago. Yea, had to wait a month, but it's nice. It cost a little more then a portable CD player, but not much. I needed a portable, so I thought I'd give it a try.
It's more a "generic" look/feel then "cheap". It feels pretty solid. To add to the "generic" feel, they give a generic power adapter (one that has multiple plugs and multiple voltages made by a company wiout a name).
One neat feature is it recharges batteries. It says don't use the power supply with normal batteries in it, but if you have rechargeable batteries in and hook it up to the adapter, it recharges them. Nice touch I thought
Yes and Yes. You can do Joliet or ISO9660. I got mine a month ago and I like it. (the MP3trip). I was needing a portable CD player, so I figured spend a little extra and get one that also plays mp3's. I don't abuse my hardware, so I figure it doesn't have to be the most durrable. Actually, even though it looks cheap, it's well constructed, just kinda generic.
I guess Sony hasn't learned. When VCR's came out, they marketed the Betamax which was propritory and while it was a better quality then VHS, because it was a closed standard and therefore more costly they lost the VCR revolution (my parent's still have their betamax somewhere). Same thing here.
It is better then some ambient I've listened to. I especially like "Control to Efficiency".
I remember back in the TRS-80 days BEFORE there was any sound where you made sound by running processes and then listening on a radio to the RF generated by it. Who else remembers that??
"All languages will have equal footing on Windows," one source said. "You can pretty much develop on any type of language on the Windows system." The source summed up: "(Common Language Runtime) increases the openness of Windows...It's a universal engine to run (different) languages."
A universal language translator????
or :
Sources said Microsoft's initial plans also include offering a technology called Common Language Runtime, a universal engine that will allow software developers to use many types of programming languages to write Windows applications.
So it's a language so you can use any language - a compiler compiler?? HUH???
But screening before small test groups and then reshooting parts of it to fit what the test markets like is OK??
Remember Pretty Woman? In the book and the original screenplay it didn't have a happy ending. The test audience didn't like it, so they rewrote the ending, and BINGO! A Winner! Seems quite arbitrary to me....
I remember somewhere when I was kid in the late 70's they had something called "turtle" to hook younger kids. You had a turtle on the screen and you wrote code to make it move around. I also remember (what I got hooked on) for TRS-80's was "Dancing Demons" which you wrote scripts to make dance routines for the daemon. The thing to remember is "instant gratification". They want to see something really cool happen with not alot of effort. That gives them the confidence to delve into the harder languages/tasks..
Yea, same here! when 4.0 came out it wouldn't even compile a "hello world" program (and I had a program due in 5 days!!). They charged me $30 for the 4.0.1 CD,!! So it's a "yea you paid $200, but for $30 more it will ACTUALLY work..." thingy. I'll never buy again either.
Why not prod microsoft into a lawsuit and then challange the constitutionality of the DCMA and UCITA?
Let Slashdot put it's money where it's mouth is - help us fight these bad laws. Now that slashdot is a corporate entity with the means to challange such things, do us all a favor and fight this in the name of all that is good..
I used domainvalet.com. They require their banner ad on top, but otherwise they do free domain parking, or they give you 5 Megs for your own web page. The only cost is the $70 for 2 years with internic.
Is there a way to encrypt a windows net drive connect to a samba client? I know ssh and variants allow secure telnet and ftp sessions, but what about secure drive mounting (both windows and nfs)?

People I know use SSH to encrypt their connection. This is nothing but a replacement for RADIUS or TACACS - a means to encrypt your login but not your session.
How about when software becomes a 1.0 someone in the group files for a patent, and all the other contributors show the development tree as proof of it preexisting before the patent application and that it wasn't original (i.e. patent applicant doesn't have sole right). That way, it's all in the records of the patent office that said software is public domain and can't be patented....
1) QoS, or quality of service, means you can guarantee a certian level of usability. For example, I could guarentee that your web page will be sent over the net at a speed of 500k. Or for more I could guarentee 1M speed. It's a guarantee of a particular level of utilization. In this case, if you pay more your programs will have priority over others on the same system. You're paying for a minimum guaranteed amount of usability on the OS.
2) Why must everything be free?? The only people who'll use this are people who are in business, and if they're going to make money using it, why shouldn't Lucent be able to recoup the cost of development? This whole neo-marxist "free the software" thing is great up to a point - the business of business is STILL business. If you want to spend a large amount of time to develop a version and give it away for free, that's fine. But when a company pays people to develop this they need to recoup the costs.

Yea, but if you noticed in the article, it also has a serial interface for the NT boxes - guess NT doesn't have USB support either (?)

Um, it seems like a lot of hot air - How can they have "copywrited" info on a STANDARD???
Either it's Kerberos or it's proprietary.
By them calling it copywrited, they're saying it's not kerberos, and that's news - the postings would then be proving this and so should be covered.
I think the question needs to be raised with microsoft....
