Actualy, you can calculate the speed of the thing by figuring the speed that the compression of the rod is transfered through it. If you're pushing it fast enough, the rod will act more like a spring then a rod, assuming it dosn't melt or catch fire or something.
However, if ANY money is required to change hands as a condition of the "giveaway" then it is NOT free. You are paying for it. The cost of the item is built in. If you have to buy gas, you are not getting a free Dr. Pepper...you are getting a Dr. Pepper bundled with your gas. It's a package deal.
Way to miss the point. The guy was obviously talking about a free dr. pepper. to anyone who walked in the door, which you could see if you'd parsed his comment carefully.
In this case, this tool lets you spy on other people using the same machine, rather then fuck up your computer and send data back to the master computer.
And anyway, this is nothing like the drill. It's more like a drill that explodes when you try to use it. Clearly, you should have realized that it would explode, right? Wrong. Even if it's 'obvious' that such a drill would explode at a certan RPM, the maker is still responsible to make sure that their products won't explode.
Anyway, this is software. Pretty much all software contains errors, they'll fix it. There's a huge diffrence between this (some software with privacy exploit) and what we normaly call "spyware".
Microsoft knew how people used they should have planed a better, more secure system. Microsoft blasé approach to system, for years (since when I was in high school, I just got my CS degree!) is directly responsible for the shit we are in today.
Yes, things are getting better, but they are not nearly where they need to be.
Microsoft needed to build a system that would protect the user from hurting themselves with the help of the criminals who write this Spyware crap (the fact that something may not be illegal does not make it not a crime (and vise versa)).
You know it honestly shocks me how bad the Spyware problem is now. Spam never shocked me this way, probably because I grew up with it. But the idea that, probably 90% of the people out there running windows have malicious software running on, and fucking up their machines is just amazing. And no one seems to care!!. The only people I know who don't have infected machines are hard-core computer nerds.
Hell, I remember a year or two ago the CEO of red hat said that if people wanted a desktop machine, they should just use windows, and this was when Spyware was just starting to pick up! What a horrible suggestion!.
Sorry to rant, but the whole situation irritates the hell out of me. I think the newer versions of windows are pretty nice, as long as you never run an EXE from an untrustworthy source... and make sure your system is patched up.
And I did, in fact, get infected by Spyware once, I didn't run a program at all, I simply visited a page and crap installed on my system. I had to clear it out by looking at newly created files on my system, if the Spyware makers had thought to change the file-creation date I'd probably had been hosed.
Animals are afraid of most other animals, unless they know what it is. Humans are naturaly afraid of other animals, too, unless we know what they are and that they won't hurt us. Especialy the ones that are just as big as us.
You know, the original "you can't legislate morality" quote comes from someone arguing against racial desegregation. Obviously, that person was wrong (in the quote and in general). Why do people keep repeating it?
Hold your nose and vote for one of these two crooks; you're going to get one of them, so you might as well at least mitigate the damage a little.
How is Kerry a crook? He's done more to stop government thievery and corruption then most people. (speaking out against 'Nam, busting up BCCI and discovering the Iran Contra affair)
Never underestimate the will of the people in stifling themselves.
The CCP isn't doing this because they care, they're doing it because they are afraid if they don't the people will get upset, and it will undermine them.
"Morality" has always been an important aspect of Chinese culture, as much as in early puritan America, earlier Europe, and the modern middle east (complete with killing adulterers)
Think of a society like a living organism. Cells can only take so many "insults" before becoming cancerous. Similarly, individuals can only become so annoyed before they revolt. We tend to think of those insults as oppression, but they can also be in the form of not being able to oppress others enough. Just look at the US civil war.
The internet is not a magic bullet that routs around all 'censorship'. It's a constant battle, and requires education. Unfortunately in "communist" China the government has decided to try to stamp out porn rather then try to err on the side of freedom (not particularly suprising).
Anyway, I'm off to China for my new bussness venture of anonymously setting up porn sites and then turning them in for a reward. Zai Zhen, bai bai le~.
During the cold war, some of our brightest minds failed us miserably by either willfully overlooking the horrors of communism, or even outright embracing it.
I know, those smart bastards just didn't hate the commies enough. Perhaps if they had, we wouldn't have had to open the school of the americas.
Most people arn't aware of that workaround. But browsers are supposed to work for the user not the website designer. "Features" that irritate the user in order to placate designers are antithetical to that the concept.
Designers didn't pay for my machine, why should they have any right to control what I do with it.
I'd like to see something like this, for instance, in Firefox's security settings near the Javascript permission settings:
Block sites from:
[X] Disabling menu items
[X] Disabling right-click context menus
[X] Opening new windows (single-window mode)
Actualy, in mozilla, (I'm not sure about firefox, but I'd assume it's the same) You'll get the annoying dialog, but then the context menu will apear anyway.

You could pre-set RAM memory. Looks like you forgot your circuitry class.
A device could be built with lots of small "force amps" around it, as the initial force disipates through the system, it could be boosted.
However, if ANY money is required to change hands as a condition of the "giveaway" then it is NOT free. You are paying for it. The cost of the item is built in. If you have to buy gas, you are not getting a free Dr. Pepper...you are getting a Dr. Pepper bundled with your gas. It's a package deal.

Who would have guessed that there'd be an expert in finish law here, making one of the first few posts.

There's no way that Sony of all people would release a device that ignores macro vision, or even the broadcast flag.
That said, If it connects to a VCR, then it probably uses RCA/RF/SVIDEO inputs, which you could clearly use to record from any source .

Schools teach tons of values. With a particular emphasis on Multiculturalism, Drug free living, and soforth.
Now, go crawl back into your whole.
It's _unnatural_ to keep species alive when they should've gone extinct due to _natural_ causes (changing climate etc).
First you say our actions are natural, now you say their unnatural. Make up your mind, you damn flip flopper.
Um, no.

Moste likely, you'd be able to get alot of the DNA from hair or bits of dead skin left by the ape.
You cannot legislate morality
Why do you believe this? The first person who said it was a supporter of racial segregation. Obviously, he was wrong.
You may not be able to make people you find immoral moral through laws, but you can throw them all in jail.
You know, the original "you can't legislate morality" quote comes from someone arguing against racial desegregation. Obviously, that person was wrong (in the quote and in general). Why do people keep repeating it?
It is precisely that line of thinking that kept Ross Perot from winning. If we thought he had a chance, it would have been a landslide!
That, and the fact that he's a psycho. Would you really have prefered Perot to Bill Clinton?

Go fuck yourself, Leahy.
Especialy given the security conserns around internet explorer. In fact, wouldn't they be worried about liability?
Oh, that's right. Computer software dosn't need to actualy 'work', or 'not leave you vulnerable to hackers' or anything fancy like that...
