"Even better, route it overseas so that it can't be forced to give up any information."
Wow. And I thought I had seen Americans being selfcentered. "Overseas" (!). It really doesn't matter to anyone except Americans, I guess. And whereever America isn't, that's overseas.
This will probably sound like flamebait, but really, it's not meant as it. I know startup and runtime speeds might be two different things, I'll admit that.
But I have NEVER seen a program so demanding as Mozilla for the single task of surfing the web. Some Mozilla based browsers, like Pheonix, have great speed but lack features.
Mozilla, while being complete is to all my experience slower too boot and slower/equal runtime speeds than any competitor.
So... All you guys saying that Mozilla is a fast browser really makes me wonder... What kind of speed and what kind of system?!?! Because across all the platforms and versions Ive tried, Ive never seen Mozilla outperform any other browser, and that is the truth (my truth).
So before you guys start a flamefest, just keep in mind I asked a question here as well? Please?
You're perfectly within your rights to think the current implementation of the copyright law is stupid, but that doesn't make it right to break it - no more right than it is to break any other law.
Wasn't it Martin Luther King Jr. who said something like this...:
It is every citizens duty to obey just laws
And it s every citizens duty to disobey unjust laws.
Ok, granted. That someone says something doesnt make it right. But that it's law doesn't necasserely make it right either. Some people simply fight for what they think is right. Is that so hard to understand?
Microsoft has an excellent track-record when it comes to security, with the little exception of Outlook, MS-SQL and the Win32-platform in general.
I expect that the Palladium platform has a own root-level scripting language that will embrace synergy and Universal-Network-plug-and-play, not to mention VBscript. All this to enhance the user-experience.
Seriously, though. Trusting Microsoft to keep anything secure is a hilarious idea. Somehow, someone seems to be taking it seriously. And thats bad. Truly bad.
Not to be all paranoid or anti-USA (Im only anti-Bush), but here goes.
As far as I can tell, the TCPA/Palladium schema is beeing developed by americans in the USA. And we all know that your goverment does not accept secure encryption, unless they have a backdoor. (Think PGP and export guys)
So this platform would be entirely unsecure and transparent. It would be impossible to protect your content from the USA-goverment. Your privacy gone void! And as a sideeffect, all of the western world using palladium is now open to the US goverment as well...
And what if the keys/backdoors got leeked? Palladium rendered unsecure worldwide in.. what? 15 minutes tops!
This sounds like flamebait, I know, but it isnt meant as flamebait. Anyway, I wouldn't "trust" it, and so should noone else.
Does this mean that Microsoft by introducing Palladium for the first time ever, actually manages to kill dual-boot systems? Like its been trying ever since bootmenus appeared?
Now, I donnu about the rest of you, but in my system that would mean the end of Win32, not Linux!
There's also the association issue. It would be so easy to create a site that combines satanism and American Express on a single page, using content hyperlinked from a satanism site and American Express, thereby giving the impression that American Express supports satanism.
So, just because stupid people use the web, we should abolish what the web is all about? The web was built on hyperlinking, that's what makes it work this very day. So if nasty corps. don't want to be linked, i really cant see why they put up a server in the first place.
And btw: The f*ckup who made up the word "deep-linking" really gave corporate managers another way to show off their tremendous lack of technical knowledge. Which is a sort of satisfying:)
That would be a civil charges, as in suiting people for money. Organisations cant take out criminal charges.
Criminal charges must be filed to the police, and then the police decides if this is a case worth taking further.
Strangely enough that seems to work. You can't pay someone to put someone in prison in Norway.
We'll see, though. There are powerful forces in motion
American industry does not control the Norwegian goverment if anyone should think so. The Norwegian goverment is merely incompetent, but not entirely corrupt.
Anyway... The judge said that more or less this: "everyone should be free to watch their DVDs, regardsless of if their player is licensed by the DVD-CCA or not."
Slashdot Mirror
I recall some campus rules where I study (they were ultimately changed :). They went something like this (I am -not- kidding):
And if they were not slashdotted, they might be useful :)
"Even better, route it overseas so that it can't be forced to give up any information."
Wow. And I thought I had seen Americans being selfcentered. "Overseas" (!). It really doesn't matter to anyone except Americans, I guess. And whereever America isn't, that's overseas.
Somehow, I really felt important :)

"And THAT is the root of most problems my friend. Regardless of whether you like or not, you are being fucked by the stupid people."
So... You guys say we are getting f**ked by sheep? You guys are grose!
I still mean that part about soldering irons, though.
And making a DVD-player without signing the CSS-license is a infridgement of the DMCA...
The asshole who thought of that law should be casterated slowly by the use of solderings irons. Thats my opinion.
How about Japan? I never heard any evil stuff about Japan, and I'll just assume they are a civilized country.
And in case GWB unleashes Worldwar 3 at the western world, an unpartial country would be nice to have...
like...
I guess I could go on, but I think thats unnecassery taken the audience here...
So it isnt supported on Micrsofts newest DDOS platform? Disappointing, really :)

So the name Kevin Mitnick doesnt ring a bell, I guess...
In FIght Club theres a line which sets me a little off guard, giving me this "wow"-sensation:
I kinda had the same sensation with this suggestion. Good one!

"Fixed" now thats a cool way of putting it. Quite accurate as well.
"I'd like my DVD-player fixed, please. This one is brolen."
Norwegians understand Danish and Swedish quite without problems actually. At least literally. Spoken words can be a bit harsh :)
The laywer was made aware of the case. They made a decision to persue it. They work for the norwegian police, not the MPA(A).
It might seem hard to grasp for Americans that the police merely enforces stupid laws, but that they aren't corrupt bastards. I dunno.

I live here, I should know :)

The MPAA f**ked up, thats all :)
Someone mod this up? This is pretty interesting! (They might just be incompetent at playing by common rules :)
Yeah. Nerds with no hope of ever getting a date are now out-numbered.
Now only cowards who are to afraid to hit on real-life-persons terrorise the irc-network. Better than having them occupying all the bar-space, though.
And ofcourse, since the net went mainstream, all kind of assholes have found out about irc.
If you want a serious network for chatting, where people tend to seem smart, you have to make user-unfriendly. Otherwise the dorks will be coming too.
