Yeah, and it's $1,500 for each mp3 you have. Some crimes happen so much and mean so little in reality that regardless of the punishment it's no big deal.
Mine would say I do 6 MPH below the speed limit at every given time and I never tailgate and always stop for little old ladies in the crosswalk... Regardless of my 110 MPH habits.
Or if I'm going to be crazy for a little bit I'll just deactivate it.
Remember a tip of security of a device... if you can get your hands on it, especially in your house or garage for a matter of months, it's as good as hacked.
Other, non-tech savvy people may think otherwise about it though.
/. is especially pissy with this but I want breaking news, not whatever is new each hour. So I hammer the shit out of it with my client (and get banned). I'd like to see a service where I download one client (that has front-ends in Gnome pannel, the Windows tray, etc.) that the site (/., cspan, etc.) _pushes_ new updates to when I sign up. Those w/ dynamic IPs could, when they sign on, have their client automagically connect to a server that holds their unique user ID with their IP.
And I'm sure this slashdotting will produce a lot of useful ideas and insightful comments.
Before you mod that actually rather insightful comment down, realize I am offending the script kiddy side of/. and so if you have the urge to use that moderation cannon... maybe your lifestyle leads you to take my comment personally...
USD 500? From the back of a truck? http://www.dealtime.com/xFS?FN=&KW=Iiyama+Prolite+ E511S&FD=0&x=0&y=0 says it's way more. If you read this e-mail me and tell me where to get it for 500!!
Two things:
First of all why can't one find a 19 inch LCD that does 1600 x 1200 for a reasonable price? They barely exist at all and consumers of menial computers keep buying dumb 17 inch ones that run at 1024 x 768 and 19 inchers that are plugging away at 1280 x 1024. I have no interest in giving up my SyncMaster 950p until I can get a comparably sided LCD for 400 or 450 or so that runs at least 1600 x 1200.
Next gripe, why do people never post high resolution images of anything online? Jump on Google image search and try to find a 1600 x 1200 or even 1280 x 1024 of basically anything (cityscapes, famous people, logos, whatever). The only thing that big is geek vacation photo gallerys and NASA photos. And they are nerds. Does everyone else not appreciate high resoultions or is their equipment so crappy a 1024 pixel wide image scrolling two pages over. Maybe those fucking IE toolbars have taken over their shit so much they only have a 800 pixel wide view. Gaaa.
This technology has been aronud for years, and was in fact developed by Disney pyrotechnics. They dubbed it the "whizz-bang" from the noise it makes, and they've been using it to launch the fireworks for the Epcot show over the lake since before I was there the last time which was (thinks back...) at least 6 years ago. Perhaps they're now patenting it or the patent office just now got to it in the piles of papers it has sitting around but this is older that Slashdot itself. (An eon in tech-time)
It was only playing in five theaters in Cleveland. There are over 40 theaters around here, so it playing at an eighth of them says something.
Ohio a swing state? Sure.
Like the critics said, if this movie was showing in Europe and they were voting for US president than perhaps this would make a difference. There's a reason many film studios turned down this production, and it's not because Holywood is a whole bunch of Republicans;)
I'm an American in China ATM (college student, school trip) and they offer i-net access in the hotel. I'm posting here (and am surprised) and can check my mail on AOL but I can't get to my university's website (www.muohio.edu) or contact that mail server at all. (or get on my VPN at the universtiy) Why would that be blocked? Bah. So my point is that they're fighting this hard and they're still not going to get the Internet proper - they're stuck behing the great firewall of China.

Why don't you constructively say "You know, that TippingPoint: seems to me like it's a PC they put in a rack mountable case running BSD with GPLed programs they are violating the license of." And then give some backup behind your claim. Instead you choose to attack me incorrectly, and never got marked above a 0.
Notice I refuted your claim and didn't attack, for example, your shitty spelling ability.

We have a bot network problem like everyone else... these things riding in on the coat-tails of the M$ft vulnerabilities has given us the 'ol one-two punch.
We estimate anywhere between 400 and 1500 of the ~10,000 on campus (student resedential) machines have some sort of back door installed.
We have blocked any incoming traffic to any dorm machine (regrefully) so they can't be controlled from outside because we mostly are tired of getting blacklisted for DoSing people or for spamming.
The saving grace has been TippingPoint, a network traffic analysis tool that sits behind the backbone routers and adds a latency-free checkpoint dropping traffic related to the M$ft security exploits. And when they get Blaster, Bagle, Nachi, etc etc etc they get automatically disabled by the routers and we (IT Services Support on campus) either fix their issues for them or they have to fix them themselves. When fixed they are automatically re-enabled.
I'm a hard core rock climber and college student. Typing papers on stressed hands had to stop when I was using the Qwerty layout. I switched to Dvorak (Vowels on the left home row, most used consanants on the right, bottom row is all obscure things) and it took a month or so to get fast again but I never look back.
There was a company that did this as long as 5 years ago in Vail, CO. You'd wear a GPS antenna on your shoulder and a unit in your pocket would record where you were at what time. Then they'd print it on a topo map styilized for 3D and color code where you were going and at what speed. They'd also calculate your top speed, average speed, vertical feet, etc... I think they're out of business now, sadly, but they were good people and it was a cool idea, for sure.
I wonder if I announced my own space program I could get on Slashdot too!! I'm gonna get there in THREE years and stay for 17 months and only need a taxi and a Swiss Army Knife!!
dude... backdoors are cool; it's that cloak and dagger shit I am too young to have been able to participate in. Knowing your shit when it comes to computers was much cooler when there were no laws that said hacking was bad. HACK THE PLANET!!! OK, back to reality now, yeah, that's pesky... back to using the old desktops as routers now. Oh well.
April fools being this Stupid. An I getting older or is this year particularly Stupid? what a waste to have Mod points today! And to make matters Worse, SlashDot's accuracy typically so questionable I have no idea which to take as seriously as usual.
I wouldn't say failed... I am a Gentoo desktop user but I am writing this to you during class from my Compaq tablet running XP Tablet. Ony M$ft bothered getting the buttons, screen rotation and extras working and it does quite well. Just because they didn't replace laptops doesn't make them a failure.
See, striking workers causing power outages and not caring about spreading disease and chemical agents as long as they get their extra 0.40 $ per hour... Unions are like hundreds of schoolchildren getting together to overthrow the administration when the administration may be annoying but know what's best for the future of the children, the school and education in general. Christ that's dangerous and annoying. It's even worse in the public sector because the employer can't hire permenant replacements for monetarily striking workers. Don't get me wrong, safety or working condition striking unions are completely in the right but for monetary gain.... if you don't like what the market pays get another fucking job.
If you do you'll grab half of the 2% (number from my ass) of BIOS consumers that know what the hell they're doing. The other half will both not know about you and if they do they'll keep with the BIOS company that has been leading the industry since I bought my 286.
It's an anti-INFORMED consumer feature and the BIOS / OS manufacturers don't give a shit.
