Not good enough, not even close. If your solution only allows users to be anonymous, then they attack publishers. That's why anonymous proxies are pointless.
That's why Tor before "hidden services" was pointless. Hidden services is good, but still a little awkward. And don't even get me started on freenet.
And if he had somehow been 10 or 11 at the time, hell even 13, I might feel somehow that he doesn't deserve to be executed for this. He was what, though, 16 going on 17? Fry the bastard.
No, you need anonymity. Without a strong anonymity model, everything else is pointless. You warez kiddies have ran from one lame layer 7 protocol to the next, like rats fleeing a burning building.
And while we're on the subject of anonymity, you might want to do the anonymity at layer2/3, instead of some lame-ass protocol that will be too limited 6 months after it gets big.
It's not the protocols they worry about, but the people. P2P allows for alot of like-minded people to get together, not unlike a mass demonstration on the steps of the Capitol building. Just like the police would start arresting any large group of people (no assemblies of more than 3 people in any one place), they have to do the same online.
So of course they claim a copy of windows for it. I broke the restore cd, and installed slackware 10 on it, non-dualboot. The "designed for windows xp" sticker left a little gunk that I can't quite wipe away. Now if I could just replace the windows key with tux somehow...
Doesn't really matter. Eminent domain only works against lower middle class people. Trillion dollar pharm companies will be immune. However, if some laid off $32k a year construction worker ever gets ahold of an AIDS vaccine patent, I'm more than confident that the state will be able to take it away from him.
In canceling Enterprise, the powers that be eliminated a great source of suckiness. Now, to balance that, a great source of anti-suckiness must also be eliminated.
I imagine the reason why not, is the same reason that a woman would rather have an abortion than to carry a baby to term and put it up for adoption. Whatever that is.
Well, I disagree. You can all vote on my rationality.
Let's see, the number of weird devices I've gotten to work with linux, but didn't have a chance in hell of with windows is ~12. They include such things as the localtalk pc card, arcnet cards, older scsi flatbed scanners, the STB PCI tv tuner card, the packard bell ir remote reciever, etc.
And if I'm using all this weird stuff, it's only better for those using mundane things in linux. You have virtually zero chance of finding an ethernet card that won't work in linux (even though I spoke with several people last week on the phone that bought new off-the-shelf nics that wouldn't work in their older versions of windows) or a video card, or a sound card.
This is why there should be no ban on jew gassing research. People's own personal beliefs getting in the way of science.
You know, even some atheists like myself tend to think human life is important, and more than a commodity. Assuming that some abortions might be killing actual human beings, then using their tissue might compound the immorality of it. Has nothing to do with god, rather, it's the same reason I don't murder you in the night to harvest your transplantable organs.
But it's more complicated than that, even. Some people who feel very strongly about having children, but have trouble doing so naturally, often turn to IVF. And the most successful IVF methods have the lab technicians creating many such embryo's, so that the strongest can be chosen, and so that there's a fallback if the first isn't successful. The little buggers can be kept on ice for years, it would seem. And after you've had (one of the most expensive) children this method, you often have several left over embryos.
What do you do with them, if you don't plan on having extra children? Are they still tissue, or are they babies? It's not like some crackho is having an abortion after 8 months. No one intended to create them just to see them die. But yet I feel bad about using them this way. Maybe they deserve more dignity. My own beliefs are that it only deserves protection after implantation on the wall of the uterus... using a morning after pill therefor, is potentially not equivalent to abortion (and not immoral because of that). These things are still in a petri dish though! So I dunno. But even if they deserve no protection, I would be horrified to think that people might start creating them just for this purpose.
And add to that, that it's only useful as a research tool, and not the end product. You don't want stem cells from some crackho's embryo, ideally, you want those genetically identical to your own. But those are harder to come by, harder to work with. And there are many areas of medicine where it would be easier to test on humans, if immoral. You think this latest AIDS vaccine would work? Kidnap 20 people, inject them, and then repeatedly expose them to HIV. Would prove it once and for all in a matter of months.. and hey, if it works, they're not even harmed! Why not do this?
It's called a jtag cable. Buy one. That, an iso7816 card reader, and you are set. Well, until nagra2 is rolled out later this year, at which point we're all screwed.
That's actually my second job. I'm on track to make $70k this year. How much do you make, loser?
Besides, I do know how to deal with it. If it's non-windows, start looking for a problem on our end, the ISP. If it is windows, don't bother whether it's win98 or XPsp2, it's windows fucking up.
Tell your bosses to quit being such pussies. 30 second skip? No.
Your customers really want (even if they don't know it) a feature that once they push the "this is a commercial button", Tivo looks back until it finds a blank frame, then goes forward til it finds the first frame of the offender, takes a hash of it, and forever blocks that same commercial from showing. It can look for the ending blank frame too, so that the commercial never shows. Then have that Tivo upload the hashes, and distribute them nationwide.
The only problem is a technical one. We'd all see commercials so infrequently, that we'd forget which button to push on the remote to flag them...
Sure there are. And if you weren't such a sycophantic little cockgobbler, you might of noticed, that me, working for a DSL ISP, we don't support their OS upgrades.
But I'll take it back, the very first time an OSX user calls up with their firewire drive not working, expecting me to fix it.
I work for a dsl isp. Phone support for losers who think that upgrading to XP is the fix to all their problems, and then only when there's the slightest ember of awareness in their brain that maybe win98 is causing all of their problems.
For me, SP2 is evil, no matter how you spin it. OSX users never have problems, I only maybe have to reset an email password for them once in awhile. PS2 users, if they have the correct numbers in, and it's not working, you know it's some sort of DSL issue. Routers, same thing. Only windows machines ever cause chronic, unsolvable problems.
You people remind me of serial killer groupies: "When will all the Ted Bundy bashing stuff end? He was a nice guy!".
I see an article that says it's illegal to use a mailbox for non-USPS mail. I concede, this is true. But I see nothing that suggests that there are laws making it illegal to deliver envelopes, or more so, that those laws have been enforced anytime recently.
Or it could be that no company will touch it, because it doesn't offer immediate 15% returns. So people become so disgusted, they vote to have the government do it, and once the barrier to entry is lowered (tax dollars paid for this), they bitch and scream that they're being unfairly locked out of a business that just years before they wanted nothing to do with. We are talking local government, either vote against it, or move somewhere where they don't tax you for wifi. Only libertarians would want it to be illegal for citizens to have a chance to vote on whether they wanted municipally funded wifi...

As a lawyer, what's your take on p2p and their associated lawsuits in general? Just a little curious, is all.

It probably has some achilles heel that allows trojan to be installed. I wouldn't be suprised if this happens before the vendor ships 1000 units.

Well. It's been years, with no government competition, and they still aren't doing it. Seems business isn't interested.
Ah, another poster from a parallel universe. You guys show up on our own slashdot from time to time, just adjust the quantum dial on your computer...
I've never heard of UPS or Fedex employees being arrested, and there are any number of smaller, private couriers. Tell me again how it's illegal...
Or it could be that no company will touch it, because it doesn't offer immediate 15% returns.
