Pinko is a term that is most often joined with the new-world definition of communist. I.E. Many of the people tried during the Macarthy era were arguably commie pinko bastards
Nice to know that your life means absolutely nothing to the economy, business, and corporate health of the nation. If everyone had to take even one day off all at once for cancer treatments, IP would count for shit. Why can't these people see this?
It's been my experience that the library will get more mileage out of books, especially ones with relevant information. Instead of selling off my university material, I donated it to the public libraries so that not everyone in the world would be forced to buy course material. A lot of a library's budget goes to popular reading, so very technical books often get overlooked.
I haven't read the patent, however I believe that the patent will effectively lock MS out of using the hardware aspect of Palladium. If it's all software, it could be broken easier than the hw/sw combo.
Do not give them any ideas. Some dumb broad fell to the tune of a couple of million in Michigan, now I get 20 damned 419's a day! They must think that stupidity is geographically contained.
William H. Gates thought this one up. Somebody just exploited it. More reason to believe that Windows was developed for corporate networks, not the Internet.
The client that will probe a network for port 135, then create the batchable list and do it itself. Any tool with minimal user thought is valuable to spammers. It beats the hell out of the other options (like thinking or learning how the internet works)
Most likely it's because Microsoft has no expertise in the unix programming field. Just the retooling of meat-puppets would have been cost-prohibitive.
Glue the AOL Coaser to the backing of a free mousepad, another high-availability item. You can usually get two coaster-backings out of a standard-sized free mousepad, and you can steal the glue from your office if you don't want to pay for that.
Next week we'll discuss free AOL cd's as cheap mirrors for high-power telescopes and cutting lasers.
There was already a big hoo-hah about the canadian HRDC office (Human Resource Development Canada) having a giant database of every Canadians information gathered illegally. This is not a big stretch for Canada.
Canadians are a bit too complacent when it comes to government bodies. Ask any Canadian why he pays 70 percent of his wages (if you make 6 figures it's closer to 80%) after all is said and done.
And for all the Canadians who are going to scream that this is wrong, 40% income tax (Federal and Provincial, upper tax bracket), 15% sales tax on most items (Ontario GST & PST), then Property taxes, (GST on that too), petrol tax (45%), sin taxes on booze and tobacco, and in Ontario, the idiot tax (Gambling). Taxes on hydro purchases, Natural Gas, food, drink... EVERYTHING! So I know what I'm talking about, now do you?
distcc doesn't care. However, in some circumstances, particularly for C++, gcc object files compiled with one version of gcc are not compatible with those compiled by another. This is true even if they are built on the same machine.
It is usually best to make sure that every compiler name maps to a reasonably similar version on every machine. You can either make sure that gcc is the same everywhere, or use a version-qualified compiler name, such as gcc-3.2 or gcc-3.2-x86-linux.
So in other words, keep them close, especially for gcc versions that break backwards capability.
Hell, even without promotions, added staff, etc. Everyone in my office acts irrationally enough to screw the system up completely in an hour or so.
They can't fire us all.
Uhmmm, Yeah. This would be a real dead end, especially if you were to drop thousands of these near a harbour and set them to patrol an area, all without active manpower.
It seems likely that these could evolve into smartmines that will just float around a harbour in predefined locations and patterns. Nobody said that these would be the fastest things in the ocean, but if they have a range of thousands of kilometers, that's also a range of one kilometer a thousand times.
Is completely useless. It's just packaging. I say to take the damned thing apart, flip the mechanism that slides the laser over and attach a book to it.
Instantly portable, put whatever you want on it ( a book, your junk, whatever) and let it slide across the stationary laser. If you get good at it, you could even make the rails telescopic for even more portability!
The difference with modding your car and your OS is that, for some misguided reason, the courts see software as a service, rather than property. The big debate here is that the bios for the mod chip contains MS proprietary code, and by distributing these things, you are cutting into MS's IP.
Does MS sell these chips? No. Is Lik Sang cutting into their market? No. Do these chips contain MS proprietary code? Who knows. To me, it contains only sand and metal.
Nobody is using this technology to replace the X-box, only augment it. My opinion is that countries already have laws to deal with piracy, enforce those ones, instead of making new ones.
No, pirating the DTV signal was not illegal until recently. I, however did not put a timeframe on my activities, nor did I say that I was restricting myself to american satellite companies. We have digital satellite here as well. And there was nothing stopping some of the people from getting the American DTV. Some of the people which I worked for had an american address, and one guy I did occasional work for supplied 100 michigan bars with pirated satellite.
So before you go lipping off, get your facts straight.
They could have Bob Barker the winner, and get him the hell outta here! He obviously isn't going to die, so this may be the only way to get rid of him!
Actually, no. I do not work for DirectTV. Actually, I have pirated their signals in the past, and helped others do so. But when I did do this, I did not delude myself by saying that I wasn't stealing, or helping others steal. I had two reasons for doing what I did: Canadian Television sucked, and money.
Yeah, I will agree with you, but I've been lied to before, I'll be lied to again, and if someone wants to lie to me without costing me money or time, they have that right. And it's much more pleasing than them telling you to replace your access card within X days or risk having your television subscription revoked.
Some people might not understand that what they are paying for, people are getting for free. Some people might just turn around and start pirating it, if everyone else is.
People are strange, and will do strange things. I've worked for millionaires who pirate software, who pirate satellite, hell, even try to cheat me out of money. And it's not being frugal or hard-working that got them their millions, and their actions are definitely not keeping them millionaires.
Actually, it is for the users security. Not that someone is going to get their personal information or be able to track what they watch, but security of their investment. If anyone remembers the old pay-tv programs ON and IT, they remember that they went out of business because everyone was pirating their signal. Canada was a haven for home-brew on boxes. They filtered accross the border, everyone had them, and nobody was paying for them. Because it was a complete hardware solution, the company had to strike a balance between acceptable levels of piracy, cash flow, and cost to change the boxes of their subscribers.
This is exactly what is going to happen to DirectTV, but they only have to send out new cards, not entire receivers. When piracy gets too high, they ship another card. It's much easier to ship a card, to have the user install it, and coordinate the effort. But once the piracy becomes rampant, then the legitimate subscribers will have lost their initial hardware investment.
The evidence that they are citing is the $40,000 stuffed in electrical equipment.
Although this is pure speculation, having your technology leaked to the hackers, forcing an industry-wide upgrade to new technology which is leaked to the hackers, forcing... makes an interesting business model.

Hope that helps.

Or just start selling cute plush peng..er aliens.
What I don't understand is a government funding the SETI project and then denying the existance of extra-terrestreal life.

From the FAQ:

As long as you could keep them out of tuna nets.
Uhmmm, Yeah. This would be a real dead end, especially if you were to drop thousands of these near a harbour and set them to patrol an area, all without active manpower.

I'd prefer a place where I can watch a movie without getting radiation poisoning / cancer / illnesses / (insert condition here).
I have an idea, lets jam so much radiation around us that we all become sterile. That'd be great!

I guess that I'm just honest about my dishonesty.
