well thanks for the kneejerk there, lets get down to brass tacks. There is already plenty of things going around that the fbi is already spying on you (see carnivore), this would a silly and stupid approach to 'watch' people. Now the other half of this is that assuming the govt had the technology to spy on anyone via the internet anywhere then they would have caught all of those terriroists using the internet. which they havent caught them *or* have chosen not to. But remember the govt has already passed laws to monitor every US financial transation already. How about we focus on the *real* govt actions, and not imagine new ones.
Ok i have these 2 so far,

searching on google for "radioactivity steel WWII" will reveal a few more hits.
I worked in a research lab for a while and in one lab they had built a 'z chamber'. What this means is that its a 'room' with offset entrance in order to block all incoming radation. (that travels in a stright line) The intresting bit here is that its built out of like 6" steel. The steel is made from pre WWII ship hulls. The reason is that after the atmospheric atomic tests any steel made since will pick-up contamination during production. This is particulary effective. I got a demo of this with a gieger counter (we were already 10' underground andyou go a good amount of ticking. In the z chamber ther was virtually none. Thus a good environment for testing radiological samples in small amounts.
Corporate lawyers seem to have gotten this idea in their heads (because of the DMCA) that come down to this "Anything that we issue must be copyrighted, therefore we have total control over it".
Ive seen those ads.. and this is what i wondered abot the product they are selling, how exactly do they expect to allow people to connect to the internet *without* 'broadcasting' the IP address? I mean this doenst even make freaking sense. how do you send out packets with no source ip and expect to get web pages back? I find that ad totally misleading.
You too can invest in this state of the art method of sending stuff into space. But be forwarned, just because rocket-pal sends things into space they arent an actualy aero-space firm, so ifyou lose all your investment/cargo with them its not insured!
I worked for Digital/Compaq/HP. I was put on a State govt site to work as a resident. In order to get access to the email there (or out to the internet) they requested my SSN. I requested from them the required information under the privacy act of 1974. My job secutiry was threatened by the customer. In the intrest in having work I let the issue drop but periododically I broughtitup, Neither the customer nor my manager seemed to be the slightest bit intrested in following *FEDERAL* regs. I finally was so disgusted i quit. here is a hint folks.. you are an employee, you are an expense to a company. You are money going out. You are not important.
ya know i had this idea that we shodl genetically enhance pidgones to eat cigarette butts. then theyw ill be filel with nicotine, and then we can sell pidgone meta back tot the smokers for their nic fix.
Anon coward calling for a mod down how quaint. BTW, technically speaking, not knowing what black friday is ignorance. Whining about it, thats stupidity.
Ignorance can be fixed, stupidity is forever.
When the dmca came out i started telling people that people would start being sued by talking about any company in any non-approved way. I was told that i was overreacting and being hysterical.
Guess what, this is only the beginning. McAfee already tried to sue someone for an unfavorable review, soon now the only thing you will hear about corporate america is the press releases.
Ya know there seems to be alot of this going on on/. lately "what is black friday?" "what is GBA" "what the hell does slashdot mean?"
I hate to break this to you guys, but justbecauseyou arent clued into the collective community consciousness donest mean you should rant on like a fool.
I dont know, it might me more likely that you are so busy running your virtual fast food empire you forget to eat and sleep and then die misearble and at teh console and your family will sue instead:)
Whoopsy, left off the one there. 17G, remeber this is the *theoritcal* max down. Real world is in fact less. overheard ans real world voltage on the lines and such. but the point is still valid.
((56*1024)*(60*60*24*30)/(8*1024*1024*1024)
(56kbps*seconds in a month)/(convert to bytes*convert to KB*convert to meg*convert to gig)
run the numbers for a second.. the theorhetical maximum you can download from a 56k *dialup* for a 30 day period is 7G. So as far as im concered any cap below that is grossly unacceptable.
The way this article spells it out, it seems like the 'ad' was put up on MS' by the PR person without any kind of oversight. If this is true this speaks volumes about how the orginization is setup if a contractor can just stick fluffy content up on a major corp's web page with no approval process.
well ya know.... the only way to protect yourslef from making mistakes with your employer's IP is to... *never leave your job!* Im sure a wise employer will giveyou al ivetime job if it means an investment in protecting their IP!:)
The DRM helmet! Just think this would be a grat way to send back to the mother ship about any kinda copyrighted information you might stumble across and then it would filter it out in real time!
It has been my understanding that the USboxes sets have been so long in coming due to syndication issues (greed?). I picked up season 1 as soon as i could. However i am worried about the other SG seasons being broken up peicemeal and sold at high prices like the farscape ones.

For great justice, take off every ZIP+4!

Slashdot actually already touched on this a long while ago. I think this is an idea that has matured... the DRM Helmet!
Ya know i hear there is a soothing salve for that laughing disorder now.

I got a free promo mousepad and watch when they were pitching the promo stuff when the game was killed. as i understand it was almost done.
