Just speculating here,
But in order to merge the 2 workds of computer software here 'free' and 'payware', there seems to need to be some kind of separation of ones codebase (if integrated into a product. Has anyone went and developed some specs/apis/established metods to help people/companies easilty seperate their compnents as to keep propriatary stuff their own but still use 'open souce' code? Perhaps some kinda 'standard' would help cut down on all the naysaying and ppl freaking out about 'viral licenses" and such.
Farscape was indeed freaky. But remeber it was billed as an 'epic' and in the best style of 'epic type' stories of the past they were all a bit freaky. go read some you'll see why!:)
According to the article, it says that the spammers could pay ppl to signup instead of using scripts. IANAL. but this would seem to be intentional misrepresentaion and "transferrance"(sp?) of the email account. I would think there would be some legal ramifacations of this.
I think that before we should even consider trying to *change* the weather we should be havign at least a 99.99% prediction rate. If we cant predict the current weather adding another (several million) variables into the equation, borders on insanity.
Not to worry Im sure paramount is crafting the DMCA notice as we type. But honestly i thinkit because some guys in a garage came up with something better than rick berman could (see the last scene of of the finale of voyager if you wanna see wooden acting)
Right from that page : Limonene is also used as a flavour and fragrance additive in food, household cleaning products, and perfumes.
Im not advocating shugging this stuff straight. Butl ike with any extration of essential oil be it spearmint, peppermint, orange oil, of capsicum the idea it to not over use it.
When i was in Orgo chem the *best* and coolest thing we did was extract limoene (orange oil). But you need reflux glassware for it.. but i'll tell ya the stuff smells great. and the practical upshot is that you can use it and other essental oils as food flavorings
Ya know i keep my tivo (with 2 drives) in the stereo cabinet with the door closed. So unless you are superman its not like you end up hearing it anyway. Course unless you are some kidna freak and have a tivo based hat or keep it on your sofa....
i am afraid not only is this bad but its quite possibily worse than you can imagine. This is not the only high profile cause of SSN theft, and it wont be the last. However the future is dark, this is what I'm predicting, Beacuse of the highnumbers of SSNs stolen there will be a 'groundswell' of support for a more effective replacement. This will be a segway for national ID card, this will make it nice and easy for the US dept of spying on americans to get you properly registered.
A dark day is on the horizon. you heard ithere first.
Actually diamonds are neither rare nor intrinsically valuable
well only partially true, Industriral dimonds are produced by the tons, gem quality diamons are 'rarer'. By rarer i mean that the diamond cartels control supply as to keep prices high. However gem quality stores are still less abundant than lower grades of diamonds. (this is all laid out on that show about diamonds on the discovery channel).
Now on the other side, just like in semiconductor production purity, or should I say controlled imputiry is the key. Diamonds are tradionally considered electical insulators, but as technology has marched on more things are semiconductors than were ever initally thought (ceramics and such). Controlling the doping agent in the semiconductor becomes the hard part. I cannot say if they are going to 'purify' high grade industiral diamonds or make these things out of an artificial process. As i understand a breakthru has recently been made in diamond manufacture. Which is about all i know about it.
Diamonds are actually a reasonably good conductor of heat, this may also make it a good canidate for semiconductor use. (speculaton from here on) The electrons in the diamond crystal structure is very tight (which is why its vary hard), with the proper doping this could even yield superconducting semiconductors;)
If you are a connectivity reseller then part ofyour reason to be is to sell connectivity, if you restrict too much going to your customers you are dead anyway because then your customers cant get what they want. But i think the point has been missed you shouldbe abbled to allow all/some/no traffice on your network. As a backbone it makes sense to carry (nearly) all traffice to your customers, as long as they understand what they are getting. When the traffice reaches their network, its up to them to filter it more if they want. If the customers want the isp to filter it upstream.. well thats a revenue stream for the provider.
IMO the best place to start for 'securing' 'cyberspace' is to codifythe common sense notion that you have right to control all traffic in and out of your network. This may seems small and obivoius but it has some far reaching consequences. For one thing it means that if you want to block spam from coming to your network you can do that.. and the spammers can whine about "hampering trade" foofah. You dont want your info to go out? Well youhave the right to stop any/all/none of your traffic, to any/all/no hosts on the internet. This concept also increases your privacy. Until this comon sense idea is codified its subject to erosion by sources of big money
I hope that once this idea takes hold bright programmers will see an oppertunity tomake products that can help the everyday grandma exercise the right to control your computer/network.
This is a huge new opening of the analog hole. The real money for the RIAA will be selling federally mandated DRM helmets:)

well I dont know how true this is *now* but back when dvd burners first came out ot the mass market I read that either the software or the hardware was incapable of doing the kind of content locking that the bigboys (MPAA) can put on thier content. Thus basically you make your own content, you cant (even tacitly) keep it from being pirated. I found this repugnant, the mpaa will spend tothe ends of the earth to destroy fair use, but (for whatever reason) what you do isnt important.
I totally agree on a shift of scope on the part of nintendo. I just finishe mario sunshine, and while my gf and myself enjoy playing animal crossing, I would really like to see something above the 'kiddie' market. Im not sure where i read it but i saw a blurbabout the head nintendo game guy focuses on kids games and they were gonan try to coax him to making more mature stuff.

no one has mentioned bitnet relay.. now we are talking ol school.
Id like to share with you/.'ers a portion of the email i sent to this guy Hes a laywer, and he was whining about being black holed because he had a open relay that he says could not be... but I digress. (see his thing for details). I think it speaks for itself, and has larger implications beyond spam.

This is actually very disturbing to me, looks like hollywood wants to merge its 2 payment models while at the same time removing the consumer decision from the loop. it goes something like this,
You pay a monthly subscription for your digital TV signal (probably cable)
You pay a subscription fee to use your smart card to wtch the shows you pay for (like satellite tv)
Oh and that 'free tv' that gets paid by advertizing,, well that all bonus revenue for the media copmanies because they are just going to *assume* you are a 'criminal' andyou are using your pvr ( that they convienently sell you and chage you a mothly subscription fee to use (because theyhave to off set the prediefined amount of people skipping the adverts, See: the minidisc built in piracy RIAA tax) [and to head you off TiVo provides you with a service for you fee stop shut your whine hole before you open it]
So bascially you as the consumer.. you have to buy a big buck digital tv (or a cheaper digital to analog converter foryour old tv, you dont get to control what you watch (really) you dont get to control what you can record and watch later.. and the media copmanies get fatter. and of course the coropratoin friendly FCC doenst seem to mind at all, because even if they get kicked out for conflict of intrst, they get coushy jobs in media.
