"John Perry Barlow is the one who's doing a disservice to the consumers, because you see if you don't adequately compensate the artist, the director, the creator, the actor, they won't do it in the first place so people won't get movies."
This kind of "play by my rules or I'm taking my ball and going home" attitude is disgusting. When will these suits realize that technology is change by its very essence and refusal to accept change breads discontent. There totalitarianistic utopia has ended but they refuse to seek out new means to an end. Do they realy believe a threat of "noones gonna make movies anymore if they can only become millionaires instead of multi-millionaires" is gonna work?
true...but, my point is embrassing the change. Its obvious advertising is permeating actual TV shows and what not without the necessity of commercials (and has been for quite some time) through product placement, and endorsements. And I'm not saying advertising is all bad, of course not. Just the necessity to have to see every advertisement as an anoying must see commercial is what i dislike. Interactive tv isn't too far away...like Tivo is doing with on demand commercials, I just doubt Tivo and PVRs have the potential to ruin the advertising industry.
FTA: "The advertisers are starting to insist that they only be billed for "live" advertising, that is, they want to know how many viewers of a show are likely to watch it hours if not days after it aired, and they don't want to pay full price for those viewers. Thus, two features of the DVR--the ability to skip advertisements and time-shifting itself--are major threats to the industry."
Major threats to the industry? I assume they mean the advertising industry...BS. as long as there are products and mediums to advertise on advertisers will make money. God forbid TV isnt as much as a cashcow as it used to be... Do they think they're the only industry that needs to adapt at times? Now they'll start pushing the price of internet advertising (costs associated)and producing commercials to compensate and visually spam more shit on the web. If companies only learned to embrace the future instead of fighting it, they'd be more sucessful and we'd probably be more technologically advanced as a culture.
Odds are they aren't going to get that around city taxes for telecommuters, such as in Yonkers and Manhattan, but could be a good deal for the state taxation purposes. Although I'd hate to see spammers taking advantage of this somehow.
just have to sit through anoying lil pop-ups, tracking software and cookies that will be necessary to use the service...hell they'd probably change VOIP phone call rings to ads to supplement income...instead of rrrrrring...rrrrrring...it will be "Hey check out that Planet Pizza behind you! Rocking meatball subs. Hey check out that pizza place behind you! Rocking meatball subs"
dns has always had inherrent weaknesses due to its universal standards and how the interenet relies on it as it does. scary how the internet is only the internet that you can view through whatever controls your DNS...
to see what trends people are looking up and where...that could be even more interesting...or just nonsensical wastes of time at work...either way works for me.
Surprising that Northstar or whatever luxury gps / alarm service that these newer vehicles have can't detect a brute-force attack. I can't imagine its as easy as finding the right frequency, there has to be some sort of security thats being actively bypassed, one that should send up a red flag. "Too many ignition start attempts...you are being locked out of your vehicle for the next 60 seconds..."
How do you feel about the Sony Rootkit fiasco, and what steps if any can be expected in the future to disallow the ease in which rootkits can be installed on the system, or for that matter files or trojans that can be hidden from the average user? Where does the newer version of DEP (Data Execution Prevention) fit into your future security aspirations and is there any possibility of a default tripwire type application to prevent the use of trojaned applications such as netstat that might manage to find their way onto an unsuspecting system?
To a certain extent, its a personal file-sharing website. But in my opinion, it stinks. For a better vibe, check out http://www.popist.com/, which is more of a file-sharing site allowing you to host photos videos and numerous other things.
Should it be a surprise MS hasn't taken adequate security measures in the "advance" of its operating system that seems like another attempt to compete with google? I say stick to Google Desktop http://desktop.google.com/. And your own directory architecture for organization.
I wonder how much of that Billion dollars was spent for AOL content compared to Time Warner content...perhaps this is a way of sweetening the pot for their lyric database, movie database, news service and video archives.
Aw, hell. While we are at it, why not privatize all of government? You might be surprised at how much is already privatized. We are well on our way to outsourcing our military to companies such as Haliburton and Computer Sciences Corporation (nee Dyncorp) as well as having our current POTUS wanting to privatize social security, the Dept. of the Interior, the Dept. of Eduation, the Department of Energy, our system of election to corporations like Diebold etc...etc...etc.... So, why are you now complaining about TIA and privacy?
While I am not a proponent for privatization, I am not ignorant enough to believe that one way is right and the other is wrong. Also, while privitization debates concerning particular services might share similar pro's and con's with each other, it is simply ludacris to believe privatization of one government service is even remotely relevant or comparable to the privitization of another.
Your beliefs are your own and the conviction to them that you hold is creditable. In part, I agree. However, your particular mention of social security irks me. While I admit, I haven't been privy to any feasible or indepth privitization plans for ss, but concidering the actual condition our social security system is in, would it be so bad? You do know the condition we face don't you? You've heard of the Baby Boomers, hell you might be one. Welp, they don't call them Baby Boomers for nothing, there was a hell of a lot of them, the greatest (legal) population increases of modern america, and probably the most hardest working (percentage and sex wise) group since any generation before them. Guess how long ago that was? People nowadays live longer, die harder, and expect more. In the next 10-20 years, SS will get hit hard and continuously. The numbers are scary. At 23 I doubt I will ever see a penny of it, and god-willing and plumbing working, if I have kids, they'll probably be studying the collapse of ss in macro class.
Perhaps even a privitzed macro-class, which brings me to the next topic. Privitized education. While this already exists in numerous ways, i imagine you are referring to the whole system. I would never preach that privitization would completely solve any problem, hell we're human, thats all we do is make problems and either:
A)solve them
B)try to fix them
C)blame them on anyone besides the group we feel most akin too
D)ignore them
E)exploit them for our best interests
F)pretend they don't exist or its not a problem
G)and sweep them under the rug hoping someone else will take care of them.

1)Not only are teachers caught in the same bureaucratic quagmire as any average government worker, which in effect makes them just as hard to fire, they are also scared, underpaid, and understaffed. However, there are also ones who are incompetent, uncaring, and flat out criminal.

It is not necessarily the teachers way of teaching, that might be wrong with some educators today, but their underlying concepts of intelligence theory, which if directed towards that of entity theory, may project a help-less response pattern upon their students, as apposed to a Master-oriented response patter towards learning and challenge. Incremental theories of intelligence have been shown to impose a more master-oriented approach wherein effort and learning are praised over intelligence validation. I am involved in an intervention in which we have created a program to help improve both teachers and students views on learning structure and potential during transitional periods (i.e. 7th grade, elementary school to middle school). Young children and babys naturally posses such love of learning and trial and error challenges indicative of an incremental intelligence view, yet through some environmental factors, ideologies of thought can change to less productive models, and are indeed malleable.

this is probably redundant, but I just finished the article and am too lazy to read the rest of the commentary;
""Commercial e-mailers who meet Habeas' strict definition of non-spam will be billed a penny per sent message for the warranting service, capped at $3,000 per month.
The fee may seem steep for small-scale publishers and marketers, but some said it would be worth it to guarantee their product would actually arrive in subscribers' in-boxes."
But sounds like a service for charging for certain spam, and not allowing your competitors.
no, not what I had in mind. I was referring to the actual choosing of the Cabris from your local wonderful liquor store. Choosing wise...hmmm I think I'll try this Cabris...1 says CALIFORNIA, the other 10 say Product de Francais or something like that. If one tastes a specific wine and doesn't like it and then rashly rules out all others in the same genre (Right word for wine?)let alone vintage or country of origination, as distasteful then he/she should not be drinking wine.

What folks seem to overlook is the fact that Sony, the corporate entity itself, is a chick. And No means Yes.
Shouldn't these charges also be mirrored by the feds seeing how Sony is an international company who's crossed state lines with malicious code?
