al qaida on the whole is a technologically proficient group of murdering thugs, do not underestimate them. after all, the 'base' does not stand for 'database' or anything.
a morning show guy here in LA put it very succinctly, stating that while we americans are all bent out of shape about prison abuse in iraq and who did what 35 years ago in vietnam, qaida has probably got guys with camcorders and digicams snapping recon shots and timing elevators in buildings.
as far as this internet scare goes, i think it was a cheap ad gimmick by kaspersky, as if to indicate they knew of a new threat. and knowing about something before it happens only makes it appear more suspicious, as if they might have a hand in such nefarious activities.
oh right, those were german railcars used to haul the jews out of france to places like auschwitz, not french. and those recent desecrations of jewish cemetaries in france? why, that was only the youth having a fun, no hatred involved.
you would think with all those north africans milling about they could come up with something better than this? nothing against algeria, morocco, libya, and tunisia, except for their propensity to birth train bombers.
if yahoo is the kettle, then france is the pot. for me to poop on!
i don't hate the french, dislike is a better word. well, just the men. french women are yummy. mmm...
BSA marketing exec 1: hey, what should we do this year to increase legal software sales?
BSA marketing exec 2: i know! let's infiltrate the schools with some 'educational material' about copyrights, and how they should be reverently followed. 90 some odd years is not enough.
BSA marketing exec 1: sound great, but how are we going to do that?
BSA marketing exec 2: we'll umm, make a cartoon character and have the kids name it, yeah! it will be great
BSA marketing exec 1: what else?
BSA marketing exec 2: we'll have legal work with the teacher's unions to force compliance to instruct the children with our coursework. if that doesn't work, we'll bury them in subpoenas and fines!
in walks a lone librarian.
librarian: your tactics are nefarious and strongarm. we will not allow this without proper perspective.
BSA marketing exec 1: who let this person in here?! security!!!!
there will come a day when this will all be trivial. either that or...
our children will grow up with no capability for creative thought, as that will violate some copyright somewhere somehow, and we know what that leads to.
DSLExtreme out here in California blocks port 25 natively across the board.
they have a registration webserver you can use to whitelist your account/address for such purposes, and monitor port 25 to make sure that you're not all about the open relay after being opened up.
why can't comcast do the same? doesn't seem that difficult to me.
better yet, why can't people patch their damn servers. if you're running an open relay, i say you're fair game. not to mention violating the draconian ToS of a massive media conglomerate. no thanks.
and what does this have to do with Quantum Encryption?
perhaps the green bandana clad illiterate 14yr old palestinean suicide bombers can use this new encryption scheme to pass the echelon guarded roadside checkpoint and blow themselves up along with some NATIVE JEWS. someone forgot to read their history book.
jesus loves you and encryption. take your political agenda elsewhere.
"If you buy a song, and use it in accordence to the agrement that you purchased it's use under, you should have no problems."
as a consumer, spending my money should allow me to do with the 'content' however i please, seeing as how i bought it. if i buy toilet paper and use it to make paper mache instead of wiping my ass, is the maker of charmin going to come down on me with a subpoena? didn't think so. how is this any different.
yes you can copy the content and share it like an evil pinko commie if you please. that's your perogative. the back and forth on copyright/IP/patent issues is only set in place to protect bloated corporate business models of the 1970's and stifle any creativity via 'derivative works'. using file sharing as a rally cry to combat digital pirates is silly. i'm always wearing my tri-point hat and carrying a sword when i download shit off the net, oh hell yeah, er, arrrrrrrr!
the fact that music as referenced hasn't decreased significantly in price goes against the model that technology as it ages gets more affordable. for years the RIAA has kept price points at artificially high levels, and when someone comes along a la shawn fanning and brings the music to the masses, he's demonized as an evil person.
do i think artists should be compensated for their work, of course. do i think the current system of attempted lockdown on digital content is a worthwhile cause that will benefit the consumers in the long term, not at all. there is a middle ground somewhere in all this nonsense, but no one is looking for it, because to corporations it means lower divendends for the shareholders. that's the bottom line.
it looks like i won't be buying an intel based phone on account of this. not that i was planning to in the first place.
great. now the shuttles and spy planes have one more thing to run into hovering above us.
if these things are cheap enough, we can just control space programs by 'embargoing' nations with a crapload of these things overhead, the blimp blockade!
we all know that pr0n has been the 'leader' in pushing web technologies. with that said, the 'legitimate' business folks have been behind in acknowledging the serious minds at work making content delivery better in the industry.
and as far as the 'adult entertainment' credentials on a resume, if i was an IT manager worth a damn, i would be happy to have a dba or webmonkey from a successful operation be on the team. just like anything else, porn is an industry. consisting of more than some guy in a wood paneled room or barn with some actress and a film crew. i've heard figures of 6 Billion per annum domestic expenditure. if that's not a viable industry, hell i don't know what is.
if you ever make it to southern california, on the 101 north just over the hill from sunset, there is vivendi/universal studios over there on the right, and the armenian church and the vivid entertainment on the left. why have i mentioned the church? oh nothing, just a strange coincidence i guess, heh. gay armenians do not run the san pornando valley!
rawr.
seriously. phonetically, this sounds like nemesis, just the type of people i trust in lie detection technology.
i wonder if they have a secret island 'lair' in which they test these wonderful things. one day they may hold the world hostage for, oh i don't know...
pfft. you said windows.
when will this become a useless story of another canopy pump and dump scheme. screw every last one of these aholes. but since they pay for their politicians, they have carte blanche to be litigious aholes.
it's amazing what the american public will put wi... oh that's right, these are the same people that drink bud, watch nascar and the latest 'reality' tv show. we're all fucked by factoring in the lowest common denominator. arnold 'hi, i'm a big corporate interest puppet' schwarzenegger for governor!
yeah, let's get the bumhunter to tag the homeless people so we can track them.
assuming that ALL 'homeless' people are going to march right into the shelter to get their tracking unit is absurd. i just don't see this helping out society in any way shape or form, just another way to set up an organization that is inherently inefficient. of the money allocated to this 'program', how much of this is really going to the process and not the 'cost overhead' of having managers and subcontractors and all that other fluff? i shudder at the most likely answer.
it's cheaper to have them sell oranges on the freeway offramps. just run around with a big ass truck of RFID genetically altered oranges, there's your tracking right there!
rawr.
i just got off the conference call with the CEO and some other chodes from SCO Group.
darl mcbride used vague references and subtle threatening words, but what's new.
-> he made use of the RIAA reference and the 'billions of dollars' in losses to the companies and artists. and how illegal copyright theft of internet music declined 30% once the RIAA layed the smack down on end users with individual lawsuits.
-> SCO is prepared to head down that path, but would prefer to remedy the situation without this. yadda yadda lip service. expect your subpoena soon
please send your 'special compliance synergy introductory value-added tiered schedule pricing' check to lindon, utah ASAP. failure to comply will result in you being hit by a meteor or slapped with a 6-7 figure lawsuit for 'hurting a faceless entity's feelings'.
SCOX - +0.78 so far today. this is disappointing.
please wsj, reuters, and other major news organizations make these evil men and women look like the corporate terrorists they are. but oh wait, darl mcbride is a CEO, he's SOMEONE!!! he's SPECIAL!!! don't hurt his or SCO's feelings, give them 700$ to go away...
for now.
