Edge Magazine (http://www.edge-online.com/magazine/) A british gaming industry mag. More about the background, technicalities etc. of gaming. I still remember they carried a monthly section (in the '90s) where readers could showcase their own 3D modelling skills. Also it had the largest section of gaming vacancies in the UK back then. Joints like RARE and EIDOS posted jobs there.. That should tell you enough about their readership:)
Maybe not applicable to games/mp3/etc. just yet. But consider this: A vendor-neutral system to manage bought and paid for digital licenses. It doesn't matter if iTunes goes belly up, because your license lives on in the keychest. I know, I know. It's disney and all. Evil corporations shouldn't mess with this. BUT! It is a good idea, and a step in the right direction. Now if only we could get Keychest out of the hands of captain jack sparrow, erhm, I mean Disney, it would be perfect.
IANAL but most Law and Order eps actually make the point that all evidence gathered on the basis of unlawfully obtained evidence (so even a search warrant based on those things) can be thrown out in a court case.
Besides, if you are dumb enough to write these kinds of stories in a plain file on your PC you're probably dumb enough to use the same password on all machines (and maybe even install the same trojan twice).. damn hackers are responsible for everything these days!;)
Dude what tracker did you get your torrent to have peers on a 40Gbps link! I'd be surprised when trackers have people on links better than bbb.se links, downloading over p2p still relies more on the offer than on the capacity of your own link.
Now consider Linux. You can't just really pay some guy with an MCDBA/MC??? or equivalent to operate your systems, because there isn't really any equivalent of that in the Linux world. Even most self taught Linux people are more knowledgeable than a lot of the "Microsoft Certified" people out there. So, because the Linux tech actually has more talent,
Thats a nice sentiment, but you cant hire people on the basis of "im self taught". In pretty much any professional setting you will have to show your qualifications in terms of certification, albeit in the form of a MCDBA or in the form of some BSc/MSc grade.
There of course are Linux certifications, but until businesses start asking for people with those certs they are basically useless. change the management perspective and you change the TCO, not the other way around unfortunately
If only your hypothesis would be correct (i'd be sitting in the park smoking pot daily). However, most of those taxes go towards creating social constructions to make sure the weakest links in society dont fall through the cracks. These weakest links aren't the young people (in fact in the netherlands its impossible to apply for social security under 24 atm, and it will be raised to 27 within 2-4 years). They are the elderly people (your grandma!) and physically and mentally handicapped people.
Yes, you pay a SHITLOAD of money to the gov't for the purposes of make sure you never fall very low, BUT if done right, you can have a lot of benefits as well. (now if only it were done right)
one proper game does not negate the point of the original poster
If Sony is so hell-bent on making an entertainment machine they should focus on other elements than just the space a game takes up. remember that good things can also come in small packages.
New pricing scheme for internet in Australia:
Familiy Access: $14,95 (512kbps/256kbps + no pervert sites except encrypted ones.)
Pervert Access: $44,95 (1024kbps/512kbps + access to your locally approved pervert sites)
A survey by the Australia Institute called "regulating youth access to pornography" dated 2003 found that 84 per cent of boys and 60 per cent of girls had been accidentally exposed to pornographic material on the internet, while two in five boys had deliberately used the net to see sexually explicit material. 2 out of 5 boys: Gee, while looking for sexually explicit material on the net, I accidentally found it
prolly through a porn-pop-up add of a dialer their daddy put on the pc in the first place.
One of the apps we run uses IE specific (Active X) controls. release an 'IE Secure' browser, that is stripped down but secure
Sure, we'll just take ActiveX out of IE and call it a "secure" version.
not really.
as the author of the hack already proposed, you can add hosts of sites that have base64 encoded urls which means that you can get http://www.bleh.org/topic.php?= and then the prog will filter out the part for use in the decrypting... surely if you use big enough sites (amazon, google, again as the author proposed) you can circumvent this.
The point of this "hack" isnt really to show how to break tinyurl but to create a different way of approaching networked file systems, using only HTTP POST/GET.
I for one see great potential in this for the likes of Al Qaida (you know, where better to hide your building hitlist than on tinyurl).
Looks can be deceiving.
Try IBMs Lotus Domino with the iNotes plugin. It has all that is claimed here, drag-and-drop support, right click menus, annoying welcome pages etc.
It even all works on multiple browsers (IE and FF is what I tested but opera is supposed to have support too). but its a HORRIBLE client. its slow and just shite...
The thing most useful to a webmail interface is POP3 or IMAP support (so you can have your mail both online AND offline, instead of one of the two).
also, folders outlived their expiry date. labels are the future... (for better or worse)

you say impractical. i say a pr0n stash in each room with an rj-45 socket!
it's not HP as the link to what they actually buy shows they bought HP blades (http://www.digi.no/504306/her-kjores-egentlig-opera-mini&bid=6)
my money is going on Dell.
which will run Win7 Starter Ed.

I wonder which facts from this study will end up on Steve Balmers Propaganda presentation sheets...
