Maybe the problem is that I don't have admin privs on the machine, and the installer doesn't check for errors when trying to associate the file, and does not associate the file in HKEY_CURRENT_USER as appropriate.
Anyway, the documentation does not explain how to manually activate a.torrent file under windows if association fails.
You download a "file.ext.torrent" from the net (after install), double-click on it, and it automatically calls on the program. No, it doesn't. The stupid installer doesn't associate.torrent files with anything, and if I try to associate.torrent files with the btdownloadgui.exe program it gives me "err: too many args".
The Bit Torrent install/use in Windows in easy. It's a bit harder in Linux
My experience is the other way around. Under linux, I just extracted the archive, guessed I need to run btdownloadheadless.py and ran it with a --url parameter.
Under windows, there was an installer which told me BT was "successfully installed". Then I had to look for it and finally find it in "D:\Program Files". There, I found only "btdownloadgui.exe", and no matter what params I tried (after reading the command line options from the output of btdownloadheadless.py, couldn't manage to make it read one stupid.torrent file and download it.
I found a similar exploit on a local Health Care Provider website. On one hand, they used Verisign digital certificates for patients on strong-encrypted SSL, but on the other hand failed to check that an ID number submitted by a hidden field in a form to get medical results (sensitive medical data) is the same one in the digital certificate. So, one could easily see any patient's medical results, even if they were not registered for the internet service at all!
On our university system, student accounts must start with an 's', and cannot start with 'sys'. One student took "sisadmin" and another took "samba"...
You should read that as: M$ is going to reduce the number of documented APIs from 76k to 8k, meanwhile adding more undocumented 'features' to old routines, which are misteriously used by M$ software.
Are you sure about this? AFAIK, the firmware (at least in my Toshiba DVD) counts region switches, and after a number of switches will not load any DVD without a "venor reset", and after several vendor resets, the drive requires a "manufacturer reset". There is a small windoze proggy which performs these resets on your drive.
That's why you upgrade the firmware yourself to remove the region-coding. I'm guessing this firmware upgrade will (ofcourse) re-lock the drive.
This seems to be a way to make ppl re-lock their drives.
DVD Firmware upgrade?

Sounds fishy to me. "To read these new DVDs you must upgrade the firmware on your DVD. Oh, by the way, the region coding firmware will be installed too. Happy reflashing!"
Your analogy is wrong. If there were a way to miracelously duplicate eggs, then you needn't to have a law distributing eggs, and the price of eggs would have been lowered to the cost of duplication. This is a good thing. There is no sense in creating eggs from hens, if eggs could be easily duplicated. This happens all the time when new technology(I'll ignore patents for now) comes along, making old production techniques obsolete.
In the case of creative works, there is a problem. There is a demand for many different creative works, and thus the original authors must be compensated somehow in order to encourage the creation of works in the first place. However, this encouragement should be the minimum that is required for the work to be created. There is no sense in giving more encouragment to the author, as it serves to discourage him/her from creating additional new works.
OK, they implement the "kill" feature. But - How can the customer know they RFID tag was in fact killed? They can just say they killed it, and the customer has to believe.
What I mean by string is that you can get to the main Web Archive site (as a loophole), but you can't enter a blocked address there and try to recieve an archive of it. Same deal with google cache.
Google cache is your loophole. Simply replace the URL part in the cache URL, like this.
I am an Israeli citizen, and I agree that what the Gov't is doing is wrong. But, what you're saying is like confescating events in US because of the DMCA. There is no need to punish the orginizers of this event (most of which are against the Gov't's actions in the occupied territories), just because they happen to be Israeli citizens. I don't see you relinquishing your American citizenship because of the horrors in Iraq and Afganistan, not to mention the DMCA.
YAPC::Israel has nothing to do with the Israeli Gov't. There are people here, and about half of them against what the Gov't is doing.

These Hebrew sites employ a very clean and easy forum system, unseen anywhere else.
