Boy.. I think he has some issues with distribution. Perhaps if his stuff was more readily picked up by studios and given more mainstream viewings, perhaps he wouldn't be singing the same tune.
Thank God that the scanners are out... even if it's not quite by the nose it said it was.
Besides the infrignement on civil liberties, what was troubling to me about the scanners is the reduction to a mathematical sequence... meaning quite literally, that we're just another number. How depressing.
The ability for large net damage to be caused is hardly new, every day new threats metabolize and get ready to fight their damage. Worms can be fixed, holes can be patched. Life will continue.
Can somebody please ask the government to stop making so many 'possibly radically destructive' things? Modified gas-eating bugs, Anti-personnel Nanobots. It's getting a little tired. I never thought I'd long for the day when the most destructive device in the hands of a single person would be a bazooka.

I was tired of being told that renderings were in 3d... yet projected onto a flat screen. Yes, you can rotate it around in your program, but when you put it on a flat screen, it's really not 3d, it just conveys the idea of being 3D.
The comment form on the senate's page that was linked had it's last (visible) post on April 15th. We REALLY need to get everybody who has read this story and cares about their computer to put in intellegant comments about why this doesn't need to fly. All of those who say "it can't happen" read the story again... it's running virtually unopposed. Nothing's more scarier than that.
An unmanned plane with weapons. Call me paranoid, but I'm not sure I trust it. Anybody who has worked with computers and electronics knows how crazy the machines can go with little action taken. Processors can have rounding errors that cost countless civilian lives. With smartbombs as screwey as they are, should we trust these things?
Give me a human pilot, with proper training they can make error judgement calls better and can use instinct and other senses to make better decisions. Plus you can yell at them and get results, yell at autopilot and it won't do a damn thing.
So my guess is,[I] can tell you a marker pen can be used to defeat access controls on non-redbook CDs, but then I am not allowed to give you a marker pen
Not so, you aren't allowed to tell people how to do it. You could say that somehow the marker can be theoretically used to get around the protection, but you can't demonstrate or tell a person how exactly to circumvent it.
It's simple now ExitExchange is simply going to offer their services, citing all the hoopla about pop-under ads, showing just how visible pop unders are. Any company that saw how visible the ads are would love to get in and try to benefit from that. It's all marketing.
If you fall a long ways, try to land on a vehicle, they won't hurt you, no matter how fast you're falling.
If you're in a vehicle, just stick you hand out to catch something, it won't even hit your hand hard enough to make you flench, even if you're going 200 mph.

If Microsoft wants the audit that bad, and piracy is as widespread (In schools and buisness) as much as they say it is.. then why don't the get their own, specialized (low-paid) auditors. Rewrite the GPL to say that this gestappo can kick down your door and search all of your machines. Seems like the logical choice for Redmond and Co. If the numbers of pirates are that widespread, the fines levied against the offending parties will more than make up for the cost of the auditors.
Oh, wait, that was assuming that MS had respect for it's users. I'm sorry.
Better watch out, I smell a rat.
Those who have run the VCD diagnostics on it have said that there was a direct line for the sound... doesn't that sound a little suspicious to you? What a better way to prompt for more legislation than getting a highly publicized case of bootlegging. CNN, Yahoo are all reporting. Don't think that your senator will hear about this? Lucas can now show how widely and how quickly his movie was pirated and then create an arbitrary loss of sales number. It's a trick, don't bite.
Back in the olden days, Miscrosoft had a similar deal with IBM with DOS. If IBM made a computer, they were charged for a copy of DOS, wheather it was on the machine or not. It quickly had every IBM-PC running DOS straight out of the factory. Why should we expect MS to change? I mean, it's a sweet deal! I'd like to be able to charge people for things they didn't buy.
Hey, they're just starting out. We can look at all the errors of every computer manufacturer in their first models. The Altair 8088 and Apple 1 were both kits, requiring a great deal of know-how (especially then) and allowed for a large deal of Human error (This was in the days of shag carpetting). Microtel is going to have a large amount of future successes for freeing us from the evil tyrant of Microsoft! Thank you, Microtel for having the balls to stand up!
Funny, the episode last night showed a huge lack of imagination. The network may want to beat the horse for more cash, but that doesn't mean that it's not in deep trouble.
Basically they couldn't take the big hit for a laser printer at once. Budgets were strapped as it was. They had to get the cheapest printers they could (They had to buy quite a few) with some grants and make the money stretch as far as they could.
And that's in a 'rich' district. Schools everywhere have to resort to similar tactics. If you want a school to use a laser printer than go donate one, that's about the only way.

It lets the networks choose what we watch. If it happened in America we'd have to watch such garbage as "SpyTV", "Watching Ellie" and "Three Sisters".
Networks MUST be stopped!

You don't have to go to a resale shop. You can return it for full money. Copy protected CDS are returnable. Least, Celine Dion's was.
I have successfully burned 1000 copies of The Fast and the Furious soundtrack already.
I hope you mean the 2nd soundtrack- the first one was not protected at all.

But did they meet the reserve? They might be bragging and lose again.
