You Apple apologists need to get it through your heads--there is nothing special about Apple!!!. Apple's just as scheming and conniving as Microsoft, only not as good at it, which is why their platform monopoly only composes 5% of the PC market.
Maybe that's because book manufacturers didn't replace one kind of paper with another, double the price, then promise the price of the new format would come down in a few years as the manufacturing process of the new paper became cheaper, then collude with other book publishers to keep the prices at the same inflated level.
The jackbooted DMCA-wielding thugs at Vivendi-owned Blizzard Entertainment drove the project underground, so that they can eventually charge people by the month to play Whorecraft.
Considering that I doubt Apple obtained the proper permits from the city/building owners before those "spontaneous" graffiti-like signs had been put up, I doubt it will be an issue.
How about a convenient, quality assured source of those bits (that shaving mirror)? This provides value over the results of a Kazaa search, so long as it isn't encumbered with copy protection. Once it does, the fruits of Kazaa actually become more valuable to the end user than the product the industry is trying to sell.
(Personally, I've always thought it was hysterical that, considering how much of a Linux martyr Jon claimed to be, he never did a damned thing for the open source movement after that.)
He's probably been busy defending himself against the misapplication of Norwegian law against him at the behest of a foreign power.
If there is, it's probably reserved for law enforcement or NSA backdoors. Or he could have meant by "trusted implicitly by IE" to mean so after the user has clicked the checkbox next to "Always trust content from Microsoft Corporation."
DRM is dead anyway. This isn't going to cause any harm to the iTMS, unless the recording industry decides it'd rather not be paid for music distributed electronically. Music will be distributed on the Internet. If the music industry would like to make money on it, they won't pull the plug on the iTMS because its DRM has been circumvented.
Exactly. I've purchased 10 tracks from iTMS, but have been reluctant to buy many more, knowing that I did not have a guaranteed perpetual right to use them (save lossily reencoding them).
I will be more likely to buy new (non-RIAA artist) tracks now.
for academic research purposes. The resulting file is indeed unprotected AAC, but Foobar2000 says it's mono. I don't think Apple has anything to worry about here, anyway--people who won't pay for music won't pay for it; those that will will still use iTMS. And if this workaround is made to work properly, they'll be able to enjoy what they bought DRM free. I don't see the harm.
See, that's the thing--I'd rather they hate me than be exploited, introduced to alcohol or drugs, or hang around with trash. I'll take my chances that they will appreciate this later in life. If not, when they're adults, it will at least not be my responsibility what they do.
Respectful reasoning? What did you do to be entitled to any respect? You disregarded the will of your parents, who, aside from being wiser than you, had absolute authority that you should have respected. You experienced the consequences of not showing the respect and deference your parents were due: "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
I do agree that passive monitoring is the way to go, unless it's necessary to intervene to avoid a clear and present danger. I feel no obligation, however, to "reason" with my children. A parent is an absolute monarch to his or children, with all the responsibilities that come with that. If a parent abdicates that responsibility, his or her children are already lost.
So silently monitor, and only intervene to avoid immediate harm. But to completely disregard and let your 13 year old daughter be picked up by a high school senior perv would be a serious dereliction of parental duty.
Have you recompiled VNC to not show a taskbar icon? Otherwise, she's in a position to know you're monitoring her.
And don't feel bad about monitoring your kids--this isn't the same as an employer-employee relationship. Would your employer feel responsible if you got picked up by an older man and molested?
Or she has started to disbobey at friends' houses. I've found it better not to tip one's hand with information found from monitoring. (Of course, it would be necessary to intervene to avoid immediate harm.)
All emails are copied to auditor. Hotmail is logged to a file via tcpdump. I haven't felt the need to read them yet, but if there is a sudden change in behavior, or an apparent effort to hide something, it'll be there. The youngins are aware that the admin knows all and sees all, up front.

This scheme works great if all your friends happen to be hopeless nerds. Unfortunately, some of mine aren't :).

The w3c validator is still banned.

Help me out here. I see "I am a man" and "I believe nothing human alien to me" ?
But "I believe nothing human to be alien to me" might be what you're shooting for; maybe it needs to be:
Homo sum; nihil humanum a me alienum esse puto.

You can't stream DRMd files on non-authorized computers, even on the local subnet.

Whoops. Guess I should have RTFA, or at least RTFP.
crap is included? I wouldn't trust Sony any farther than I could throw them.

He's probably just extrapolating his own impulses to the current generation. It's a chief trait of academic hypocrites.
