who needs to exaggerate the truth much anyway. If you want "fair and balanced" just put up slashdot articles. If you share on P2P it's not the jail that gets you, it's your parents getting their asses sued for thousands of dollars. Even "winning" costs $10K+ and you won't see anything back. Just read what kind of claims professional lawyers are making, dirty court tricks putting the case in hard to get to courts and requesting ex parte decisions from judges before you even get the "settlement" letter... The sheer hassle and liability alone should scare most people off.
It does no good to put falsehoods... just put the truth.
this is exactly an example of what I think the problem is. You have to have a special web server set up, to pass the java app, to do something that's really closer to what old-fashioined telnet used to do! HTTP/HTML assumes that you are looking for a single document per URL. It doesn't keep the proper things needed to run a hosted app like session to the network device or offer ports for things like database transactions. Having to rewrite java apps with 5 of the 10 things you need each time is old, slow, and non-standard. We need to think out the dozen changes from a typical static web browser and put them into something new. Sure there is pain, but the web application stack is pretty crowded right now trying to figure this out without breaking the typical web browser and needs a shake out.
but even Wikipedia is not a collection of unique web pages, it's "pages" are records in a database app with a web browser front end, as far as openness it might as well be written in MS Access. The difference is a big deal, it means that there is a gatekeeper server between you and the data. Then we add another layer of programming to make the "page" tell the server what records to display. It's more flexible than the original idea, but it's become too much different.
Another example would be in the original plan, I could search slashdot posts with my own method, not relying on access to some search function. We need to get back to "data" being in a static form, that is part of why Google has become so powerful tying up this information because they can write complex apps to search beneath the surface where you can't.
It's time to build a spec for web applications, that still OPEN. This is where Flash and Silverlight are trying to answer the right question, but also trying to tie up the new web into connecting to just their servers rather than allowing people to build their own.
I agree, I think it's time for HTML5 to be the last web page spec then move on to the next thing.
We need and application framework. It has to break fundamental features of the HTTP/HTML model. It has to be authenticated at OSI session level that fixes huge problems trying to work around statelessness. It has to have something OBDC-like built in to handle data transfers. It can still keep XHTML markup, but streamline it for "moving" apps. It would look a lot like remote X sessions. It would be subject to all the same issues network apps have now, dropped connections would require starting "at the beginning" like other protocols do. I'm thinking something like 5250 or 3730 but with XHTML markup as the stream instead of ugly green-screen. This would require a new kind of server that manages sessions/authentication directly rather than applications managing them, that's more overhead but it would simplify application stacks greatly.
microsoft just writes the operating systems. If you add a bunch of features "off the reservation" then Microsoft will go with the "team player's" hardware for the next round of updates and all that money you spent being different is nullified because Microsoft brought your cheapest competitor up by putting the feature in the OS, or they negated your expensive hardware by not using it and the guy that didn't bother to try is now $5 cheaper than you.

isn't that how.dlls have worked for years. Pretty much any dll can call any other one. Isn't that the basis of how things like scrip-o-licous and prototype work, allowing your pages to bind into the common javascript. Javascript is a DOCUMENT scripting language, not designed to keep the user or user agent from knowing or reusing the code.
Microsoft and Adobe are not being genuine here... the only way to implement what they want is in complied languages... like.net or Flash... gee imagine that.
generally, if it happened before 1945 the UN considers that land part of whatever nation had it. Much like how China took over Tibet in the 1950's but the US sits by and let's them have it. How about how Kuwait was allowed to split from Iraq in the 1960's even though it was traditionally part of Iraq for the previous hundred years or so but we "punish" Saddam for taking it back when it split during his lifetime.
The UN makes things up "sovereignty" it wants. Right now the US has more military power so the rest of the security counsel is "yes men" to us. A little over 100 years ago Texas was a separate country.. would we let them break off? If "fairness" is the case why aren't we allowing Taiwan to be accepted into the UN as they have had a separate government and geographically separate from china since the 1950's?
but as incentive to innovate the taxes should be under the radar for now. Once commercial units make it more profitable to buy biofuel from a company, then it will straighten out.
I'd compare the Biofuel to the former "moonshine" industry. It was only very recently (15 years) that states allowed home brewing of ANY liquor for similar reasons. People that wanted imports or recreations of historical drinks (meade or cordials) were "tax criminal" until they relaxed the law to SELLING the stuff and not MAKING the stuff. Eventually they realized that allowing homebrew created a bunch of new hobby businesses very glad to finally have enough interest to pay taxes.. that creates JOBS!! Same with happen with Biofuel once something becomes "standard" enough.
because the USSR spent 70 years building a large economy out of those little states, and they moved a lot of people around to keep the piece. Then the 1990's hit, the wall fell and the USSR was carved up into little ethnic groups while NATO held a gun to Russia's head. Now that the US is over-committed it's a good time for Putin to grab some home points and get some wayward "states" back.
I especially can't imagine how movies as bad as the 3 prequels got made without someone telling him that some of the scenes/characters/actors/dialog were terrible. That and the Shia of the jungle scenes in the new IJ movie just make me laugh considering how the discussion for the development of something so stupid could have gone..
For the Star Wars, he cut nearly everybody out of dialog, even the actors saying the lines going so far to digitally rework lips in editing! The key thing to any kind of theater is the interplay of the dialog between actors. That's why Pixar runs multiple takes of their voice work FIRST until all the actors like it, then animate the "radio play".
Lucas has money because he (and his company) is really good at doing effects on budget for everybody else. I think the prequels were like Id's Doom3. It doesn't matter if the movie sold, it's a showcase for what the company can do for other movies, and the marketing from past versions will cover costs because the budgets were watched very tightly. Lucas made profit even if no tickets were sold.
My opinion is that the video game/comics/novel writers should write the movies and let Lucas input some vague ideas where he wants the story to go. Lucas' absence is what made those things work.
with a new animated bad guy? And some furry little critters dancing to music.
I thought the new one was good, and tied up lose ends moving Indy from kid to "dad" but the torch was clearly passed to "Mutt". I think Speilberg was more instrumental than Lucas at driving that though. Lucas doesn't realize that a young, cocky, impulsive "Mutt" is exactly what all those 50's Serials he's worshiping would need. I'd think a totally different "pop sci-fi" series than Indy was, maybe closer to Flash Gordon, but like Speilberg points out WITHOUT digital effects as much as possible.
exactly, gas prices aren't going down anytime soon. Those prices are eating into owning a car. Figure it's $300+ per month for required insurances and gas now... let alone "owning and repairing" the car. People are starting to realize that all they're doing by having their "own" car is to fund insurance and gas companies... you can't afford to drive "anywhere" anymore.
but even with encryption, an exact copy is still valid to the reader. I was just on Cleveland's system and they use a little paper tag for day passes. All you have to have is one card with an unstarted day pass as it did not activate after purchase until it was put into a station. If you kept resetting it back to freshly bought every day how would anybody know, it's a straight dump. A clever system will catch that it's already got printing on it or punch an important data area when used.
but now the hackers have already said they "know" the secret. Even if it's leaked by the subway janitor, it's still the hacker's fault because they can't prove they NEVER leaked it! That makes the middle managers look great.
that's plausible deniability at work. The only stuff the White House has behind those locks is stuff they haven't managed to "lose" in an "accident" yet. This is just reasonable doubt for when they finally do find something.. somebody else must have put it back!
it's simpler than that. Each KEY has a unique (not repeated on blanks) number used once (like iButton, etc) and they're paired to the car at the dealership. The tooth pattern opens the mechanical door locks, the car doesn't start without the matching number code whether the key turns or not. Disabling the battery won't work as it happens all the time, so it's written to flash somewhere in the car computer. The various manufacture alarms all trigger off various mismatches of key versus code chip.
exactly, if really dishonest people want in they'll just break a window and then unlock the door! The key is to make it noisy and noticeable when something is wrong. With digital tech, you just have to get them to stand still long enough for a picture, then catch them later.
because that VLC cannot be legally distributed in the USA and other places due to patents, not copyright. The "code" is free but the "problem" has a license that must be paid. Organizations with money at stake Wikimdeia, Mozilla, Ubuntu... can't cut corners on these things.
bingo! They stopped his job and should have gotten those passwords ahead of time. The biggest problem I have is that they accused him of a crime... like you said, it would be like holding utilities negligent for loss of service when the bill wasn't paid (although cities have been known to do that! in fact I think that was San Francisco too.) They purposed to fire him, as much as told him so, then realized they didn't follow the proper procedures to not get sued to hell for misconduct themselves. What they did was WRONG on a bunch of levels. They could have simply went to court and told the judge he was "keeping their property" same as office keys or whatever and a judge would have held him in contempt (jail) until he provided the keys, as he seemed to have a somewhat valid reason. They planned to accuse him of "crime" before he left the office!!! Really think about that.
The articles all seem to prove to those that know the systems, that he did NO wrong in terms of the computer laws... absolutely none. He did NOT lock people out (management allowed him to have sole access), he did NOT install back doors (those were used for pagers and remote reboots) he did NOT erase settings (he made the machines clear ram if they were improperly removed "stolen" to protect the network). He was overly paranoid and an ass.. but that's not ILLEGAL... and he was charged with FELONIES and held for millions of dollars in bail... I agree he should have been fired for his behavior, but the passwords were purely a CIVIL case... making them criminal was a misuse of power and the people responsible should be held to charges for that.
