I think a number of people are reading it as requiring any device HW/SW to comply. So regardless of your use of your device it must contain active and approved content management services.
Like I said - if the motherfuckers don't like what happens in the world of general purpose computing let them go make their own proprietary storage system and delivery HW. The first one that steps into my system risks serious metabological rate changes.
Am I a commie? No.
Are the DMCA folks and SSSCA folks FASCISTS? YES.
They deserve *******.
Excuse me, please explain how it is different from a tape delay used by censors prior to the introduction of digital systems. The tape is a memory buffer, you can place heads at different locations along the tape stream to get live and delayed feeds. It just looks obvious to me and I'm not unusually skilled in the art of video systems.
I have a patent pending on a conditional execution control in a digital computing device. You'd better think twice before you type if(){;}else{;} or my lawyers will be coming after you.
We have problems on our own planet with overpopulation, energy, food production, pollution, resistant microbes and militant groups and these guys want to bring back rocks from Mars? Open your damn eyes. I'll personally send them a box 'o rocks. Just give me the address.
Let's stop letting NASA ride the "if it weren't for the space program you wouldn't have all this neat technology" horse and spend our collective efforts on something useful.
What a bunch of really bright nitwits. Truly amazing. Incredible, in fact. Sheesh.
Look schmukus, I can buy a mechanical device which contains proprietary or patented technolgy and I can take it apart, test it, make and publish a set of design documents, basically anything I want to do with it. I can make more tools for taking apart the thing and sell those tools.
What makes you think it's right to attack someone for doing the same thing with SW and data? I feel that it is the job of companies to figure out a working business model in a new environment without resorting to MIB w/guns. If they cannot figure out working business models screw 'em. I do not feel that I should give up my right to satisfy my curiosity so they can run their businesses the way they want to.
Maybe a product is worth what people are willing to pay for it. Maybe content in digital form that is so easily duplicated is of lower value than content in a proprietary form. Let them devise their own formats and HW if they don't like the general purpose computing world.
Instead these bloody fascists are trying to make MY general purpose computer into THEIR pay per view delivery system. (SSSwhatsit) That makes me very angry. What a bunch of rat-fucking bastards.

Sure it's elaborate but it is a clean way to store the day for nighttime use. I think we ought to use all these out of business fabs to make Si Solar cells.
away from Microsoft.
What exactly is the "reasoning" behind not breaking up MS?
My work PC I don't care about. I have a SPARC too.
I have MSW2K and Linux on the kids' PCs at home but Linux is on mine and I'm going to teach the kids ( and wife ) how to use both. Moving forward MS is not welcome at my place. I will do everything I can to to avoid it. I may fail and wind up with one MSWin PC in the future.
From the site :
"Once Bob receives an encrypted message, he retrieves his private key from the trusted server (he only has to do this the first time) and then decrypts."
It's absolutely backdoored and therefore worthless.
And another thing, who cares what algorithm they use to convert the mail address to a private key? It's the protocol that's flawed.
I don't know why anyone wasted their time on this unless they got a grant ( from somewhere with a 3-letter acronym ) to do it.
Better make that battery a bit thicker. You know I still, compile, browse and do my e-mail on a 233MHz/64MB Thinkpad - I'd say the little iPAQ is still pretty hot even though it may not be a multimedia monster.
I've been having this sneaking suspicion lately that unless you're into video you just don't need the processing power of a 1 or 2 GHz CPU or the wide open spaces that 1 GB of RAM presents. ( My kids have machines like that.) I think what we need now is imagination and interesting and clever ideas to use what we have.
I've always considered the availability of specs for the HW the best point of the iPaqs. Being able to review the hardware and port whatever OS you might choose is very encouraging. It looks to me like one of the best opportunities to have a truly secure system.
That's right, I don't necessarily trust the average motherboard to not have a keylogger built in.
As long as content providers want to be compatible with general purpose HW, every copy protection scheme they come up with will be a house of cards that is held up only by legal attacks against transgressors.
Since paying for a whole new set of proprietary HW is just not a practical plan they're doomed - they should roll over and give up right now.
Excuse me, what the fuck is a poster comment compression filter? Can't a guy breath in here without getting slapped? Does each breath need to be unique? Sheesh!
Here we go again - the existence of the reference image and the stegoed image is a weakness. In order to conceal the fact that a publicly available image contains hidden data the distribution of the reference image would have to be via a secure channel. If the secure channel exists why use it to key data sent over an insecure channel? Just use the secure channel for your comm.
The purpose of stego is to conceal the nature and contents of the communication over an insecure channel.
Start from here : the data is encrypted and then hidden in an image. If the stego system is good, detection will be extremely difficult if not impossible. If you assume that *all* images have stego data even if data is extracted from an image only a recipient with a key can decrypt it.
Now the only result of making a site have limited access would be to enable an analysis of who is carrying on a conversation. If the whole world has access and the site is heavily used then the analysis is that much more difficult.
1) you do not ever want to use the same image for multiple messages. The fact that the same image is shown but has subtle differences is a strong indicator of the presence of stegoed data.
2) you do not ever want to restrict access to the images containing stegoed messages - that enables traffic and association analysis.
If you do place stego data in an image make sure that the image is an original ( eg from your own digital camera or scanner ) and that once you have produced the modified image you destroy all copies of the original - see #1 above.
An ion engine ionizes neural atoms then accelerates the charged particles and emits them as a high energy stream. The ship accelerates in the opposite direction of course.
One potential source of atoms ( rather than carrying them along as a payload ) is to use a magnetic field to gather material that is just out ther in "space".
You're assuming that every customer pays the same price for a given product.
Would you like to bet that there are customer non-disclosure agreements in place and that behind the scenes the prices are quite negotiable?
Keeping the low-volume orders at high prices and hiding the large volume agreements gives the company a better negotiating position.
Personally I still like AMD.
I don't get the connection : any company that exports is potentially subject to alphabet soup tweaking. AMD is the same as any other company in that respect. And if you're referring to the processor serial number stuff, well, that's the least of the privacy issues.

You !completely! miss the point of stego.
