You can get custom hacked firmware for your drive, specified by manufacturer and drive-revision. This makes your drive RPC1, ie enables unlimited sone-changes.
Take a look at thid dvd firmware page. There are probably alot more pages, but this was the first I found with google.
If you use Windows however, you should beware. Your OS or/and Player might be counting too. Use DVD Genuie.
Does the RIAA really expect ISPs to willingly expand their abuse or DMCA departments, at their own expense, to send out notices to their customers on behalf of the RIAA?
Yes, sir. Yes they do. But shh.... They might hear you.
So let's all bow down to the allmighty RIAA, bringer of good music, protector of artists and sole survivor of the bloodline reaching back to Mozart.
I dunno if we're anywhere near being a majority here, but here's one anti-capitalistic soul supporting your statement.
Somewhere along the lines corporations achived the right to make profit whatever, and the right to take rights away from consumers in order to achieve this.
Is it my hosts-file blocking their server? Is it my user-css blocking the ad-div-tag? Is it my opera-browser set to ignore unrequested-popups or plugins?
I think we have reached a critical juncture, where either corporate activity will destroy the internet, or there'll be a rebellion and parts of the net will remain true to its nature.
Let's hope so, the rebellion that is. And let's hope that goes for the rest of society as well, in a not to distant future.
I'm quite fond of the "banner ad" consept and I'm also fond of the text browser for times when I'm stuck using a dial up connection.
Yes. Banner ad's are a good thing(tm). They can be removed with user-css (also a good thing:).
But seriously, if you have ever surfed the web text-mode (lynx or lynx-alike i presume), you might have noticed an entire floura of mangeled, unstructured, hellish html infecting the web.
Some pages are barely possible to locate the actual content on... It's not really a feasible option, is it?
Oh.. Maybe some day when people get CSS right, though that might be having my hopes a bit high.
If I were to write all my terrorist-letters in Microsoft Word, would that hold Microsoft liable?
Even if you can (and obviously some people do) use Photoshop for couterfeiting money, how would that make Adobe liable?
I thought we all here freaking agreed that making a tool making a crime possible really isn't a crime. It's doing the actual crime that is forbidden. And so it should be unless ofcourse the tool made is made specificly and exclusivly for performing criminal activities. That makes it a somewhat shadier case.
I haven't seen anyone here disagree with that priniciple so far. In fact I have never seen any law disagree with this general principle. With a slight DeCSS/DMCA-exception ofcourse...
The simple act of trying to prevent this, more than anything implies that Adobe is aware of their software being abused, and thus in my eyes makes them if anything more liable.
But my point is that the people doing crime are the criminals. Not the guys who manufacture tools.
Dude. Nobody except nerds knows general computer use! Give a (l)user a new application, capable of doing excatly the same as their old one, now with slightly different icons and buttonplacing.
Maybe they even have to access the "Start-menu" to start it, as the installer didn't put a desktop icon saying "Click here to start wordporcessor" in place by default, and you sure as hell didn't.
Result? They'll need a course or tutoring. There is no such thing as users trying to understand anything more than necassary (trying to understand computers makes you a nerd, remember:)
Don't expect people to understand computers, even less networks. Networks are big and scary.
However. It is strange that clueless people are given the power (or the opertunity at all) to pass judgement on matters they don't understand.
But I guess, I would be expecting too much, if I assumed proffesionals were called in to investigate or clarify.
Moral? Keep out of trouble, don't let stupid people observe your actions:)
You forgot Inverse Telecine. I can't stand it when i download movies (*hrm*backups*cough*) from the net, and they're still semi-interlaced, ghost infected, unsharp 29.90 fps clips.
A proper inverse telecine gives a sharper (and possibly the correct) image, and saves 20% video bitrate. In my eyes, that's worth a little hassle and encoding time.
Did anyone here know that "The simpsons" are telecined? Says so in the credits at least. Still I haven't seen one 23.96 fps rip up to date...
Lot's a lot's a unproffesional kids out there. That's for sure.
Isn't it allways interesting to see how a nice mixture of languages expressions all intermixed together on one network produces a new sparkling world of expressions?:)
A truckload of salt, well... Maybe not according to the original sense of the expression, but according to everyday norwegian speech it makes perfect sense.
And, it seems like you did indeed understand what I was saying so... Nuff said. No need to offtopic this thread further.
Slashdot Mirror
Haven't seen any flying pigs lately, have you?
This won't happen for a hundred years at least, but hey, keep your hopes up. It would be a good thing.
With a proper XF86-config file (all resolutions specified) you can do that on the fly anywhere.
Try CTRL + KeyPad+ or CTRL + KeyPad- to cycle back and fourth between the different resolutions.
I find that simpler than "Click desktop -> Properties -> Advanced -> Tick new resolution -> Apply -> Yes, we are not dead -> Ok". But that's just me.
Stop complaining :) You get a long way with knowledge....

That should get rid of those nasty zones.
Unless your comment itself was sarcasm, I think it's you who lack the concept :)
w00t!
Score:5, Troll... Only on slashdot.....
Yeah. I just cant stand Bach, Mozart, Handel, Wagner and all those other classical geeks.
They had like no talent whatsoever. They couldn't even use a synthesizer.
Yes, sir. Yes they do. But shh.... They might hear you.

As long as you got bandwidth to spare, it's:

Fuck this world.
Dude, what ad's?
Is it my hosts-file blocking their server? Is it my user-css blocking the ad-div-tag? Is it my opera-browser set to ignore unrequested-popups or plugins?
This seems to be IE-only ad's to me...
Let's hope so, the rebellion that is. And let's hope that goes for the rest of society as well, in a not to distant future.

And I thought that we were all screwed.
Look for your friends, but don't trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.
The second Bush had something very interesting to say about the internet. Something about kids stuck in dungeons...
Does that monkey lack intelligence, knowledge or both?
How can a us-congress decision inflict wordlwide changes of the internet?
Just asking... I sort of lived in a dreamworld where the world was (alot) more than merely the US...

This will not work if the Windows/IE-user has patched up his box recently.
OH, wait... They don't, ever, do they?
Prolly mentioned allready but, here goes... $150,000 pr. song. Let's just assume that totals to 30 trillion dollars as a basic starting point.
We are using RIAA math, are'nt we?
Exceeds 60 probably means 66,6 pages, and we all know that means. All hell will be lose!

Or replace NET SEND with a custommade asemmbly reboot-utility.
I've never seen so many pissed hackers and dweebs in one class ever.
But that was back in the Novell days, when all the net-utils were on a remote drive, and last in the PATH-string..
I must admit I enjoyed that :)

My first and best guess would be trough their assess. No more, no less.
Never forget that this is the company that have claimed wonderfull things like 'a web browser is part of the system kernal' and that 'a media player is inseperable from a operating system'.
Any thing coming out of that company should be taken with a truckiload of salt.
The difference is that stand-alone (hifi) cd-recorders require Audio-CDRs in order to burn anything. At least as far as any I've seen.
If you got a PC however, this is a non-issue.
