Seems to be when an
car company creates a damaging defect, it isn't the driver who has to pay a fine.
Why should joe user, have to pay for the latest RPC hole?
I have to say although the article lost me from about the first line I loved this:
We aren't trying to penalize everyone for not being up-to-date or security savvy, but the level of attacks which continue to occur daily after any en-masse attack is enormous.
Uhhh yes you are...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but arn't fines a 'penality'?
Sorry, but flat out this is elitism. These people don't get how great the knowledge gap is from the average user, to anyone who might know what bugtraq is...
Think about it for 1 clock cycle.
Simply make the fine a percentage of the amount of revenue made on that product. That should put the onus back on the software company that leashed the security horror that is out there. Meanwhile, free software is protected.
The internet is a really big place. I would suspect most spammers already do it from outside North America.
If you want to use legislation to stop spam, make it illegal to get buisness from spam.
morgage company XYZ gets your name from a broker, who used an agent, who got your name via a reply to their spam.
XYZ should be at fault. There are already laws in countries like this dealing with drug money...
As mentioned above, adding a CA will only make it 'more difficult' for spammers. It will not stop them
.
Remember the publication ban is to prevent tainting a jury. So the accused can get A Fair Trial. I'm sure if you were accused awaiting trial, you would like the same treatment.
It's is important to remember the judge who ruled, allowing media in to the court did so full well knowing about the internet and the publication violations that occured in the Paul Bernado case. The Media was allowed in anyway, he didn't have to let them in. It would be in the media's best interest to temper their desire to publish details until such time as the ban is lifted, if ever.
I admit as a Canadian I violated the ban and read publications about Paul Bernado. I read the detailed court proceedings. I wish I never had. Steven King could never have dreamed up the horrors that those 2 girls lived and ultimatly died during. Bernado (and his wife) are truly scum of the earth. That publication ban was in place because the judge (rightly so) beleived the testomony and video footage should never be seen in public. The results would damage the victims familys further. Remebering they had to watch the video of their little girls dying...Something you have no need or right to know/see.
Robert Picton is suspected of killing 55+ women (the count grows higher weekly it seems). 15 have evidence enough to prove to go to trial. The Police have been sifting through dirt looking for small bone fragments, so they can find more victims to charge him with. The victim's families would like to get answers to their loved ones disappearance. They want closure. This can be jeporidised by a tainted jury.
The judge is not trying to be difficult, most people were surprised that the media was allowed at all. But if media breaks that ban, all media will be removed from the court. It is the judge's trial, and the media has no right to be in there. But Pickton does have the right to a fair trial. So the media should be on their best behaviour.
Stem cells from places other than aborted fetus cells or fertility clinics isn't the only problem. People are very afraid of where this technology can lead to.
People are afraid of where this might lead, and seem to care less where the cells come from. The way countries(not counting Quebec) are headed it will be legaly removed from the posibility.
'God' forbid there may be other uses for stem cells besides Full Human cloning. I'm sure one or another person might agree.
So Get ready to die from your congenital heart defect because you can't clone yourself a new heart.
The problem isn't if people look real.
It's if they move real.
You don't want to look at some "Lesiure Suit Larry" style animation regardless of how good the model looks.
Even the the movie FF, the characters would move 'funny'. The brain is a complex thing, and it has several millions of years of evolution (except in Kansas) the allow you to know what a 'correct' walk is.
Regardless of how individual the person's gait is. Even the Minstry of Silly Walks, the JC's joints move in the way they are supposed to. Many CGI hasn't got this yet.
Give them time and they can win a Skating Competion or do what ever you little 'heart' desires...
For animated Celbs, Stills will be the first to go. Did you see Dr.Aki Ross in Maxium(no? try Google)?
Around our (very-pre-IPO / pre-Sales) office the stock options are refered to as 'High Tech Lottery Tickets'.
And are valued as such. Hope they are worth something, but not counting on it.
"Just dual-band support, so it won't work in North America"
I guess I'll have to return my Dual-band phone that I've been using the last year, as dual-band support seems to not work here in North America.
Funny I swear I've been able to make and receive calls all year......
Or it could be that people forget CANADA is PART OF NORTH AMERICA!
I've spent a fair bit of time working with the UNIX versions of RealNetworks products. The Previous versions were very sad attempts at mimicing the MS versions. This looks very good.
The Install went flawlessly for me on my FreeBSD box, and has been running with out skipping a beat since. It's nice to get some of the real content.
The Video for me is very choppy. But the audio is amazing. I suppose I'll have to install RH6.1 and try it there...
It seems by the photo the PET computer was state of the art for viewing Star Trek photos and porn( Playboy bunny). Then here we are 22 years later. The only things that have changed are the colours and the speed to which we can View Star Trek and porn.
Last time it came up in the news. performers were given $0.05 per song per album. and $0.05 per song per album for the writer. So on an average disk there are 10ish tracks so $0.50 to the performer and $0.50 to the writer of the music. Sell a million albums... the Performer and writer also get money everytime a comerical radio station plays their song.(so do the record guys) So there is money there as well as live concerts. But with MP3s who need radio?...
So.... $1. to the artists $0.70 for the CD creation cost. give $1 for production costs. And the rest is pure profit...

You mean all the services that use DNS are at risk?!?!?!
Say it isn't so...!
Here all this time I thought the Internet WAS the Web...
Unfortunately this is about the Rhesus Macaque. Not the Crab-eating Macaque. Or we'd finally understand how Maggie makes her picks!

From the article: (you did read the article right?)
" Part three The Matrix Revolutions is also in production and will be released in December 2000"
Will be released in the past...Charming
Here.
And with a version for just about every OS.
Example
Quebec may revise Civil Code to stop human cloning ,
Russia bans human cloning,
or even
Bush prods Senate to adopt ban on all cloning
People are afraid of where this might lead, and seem to care less where the cells come from. The way countries(not counting Quebec) are headed it will be legaly removed from the posibility.
'God' forbid there may be other uses for stem cells besides Full Human cloning. I'm sure one or another person might agree.
So Get ready to die from your congenital heart defect because you can't clone yourself a new heart.
Thanx GW!
