  1. Re:Legally on BitTorrent Gives Hollywood a Headache · · Score: 2, Insightful
    If you believe this will keep you safe from being prosecuted then you are nothing short of deluding yourself.

    The likes of the MIAA have trouble shutting down certain file-sharing like Kazaa because they can't prove that the parent companies can control what is being served. That does not extend to you, you are making the copyrighted material available for others and you know you are.

    The only reason all end users are not targetted so far is due to cost. If you keep yourself informed at all on this then you should already know that many people have been threatened with being taken to court over this and I really doubt you would win in such a case. Ignorance is not a viable defence and you can't even hide behind that as you know what is going on is wrong.

    Your only hope is that the large suing syndicates don't believe you are a worthwhile target.

  2. Re:One word on Password Security Not Easy · · Score: 1
    At that point as long as the security measure being used is based on any form of password then it doesn't matter how complex or simple the password is.

    This doesn't in any way break the parents solution based on its own merits but rather any solution based on passord entry and also places you on far more dodgy ground than managing to guess somebodies password I would say.

    My bad, I missed the article the first (1 or 2?) times it seems. It is a good effort though.

    Oh well...

    This guy knows what he is talking about and will confirm that the material is the same stuff they use in parts of rigs (I used to jump) though damned if I can remember the name right now. Think about it, if we have trusted our lives to it you can trust your laptop to it and it doesn't even look like a laptop bag in my opinion.

    I use mine to carry a hefty Dell, printer, external drive etc and a few books and the largest one they do will still get through hand luggage in airports which is perfect.

    Buy this once and save yourself a lot of money in the long run.

    >> Hell, just last week there was a story about an autonomous plane, that mentioned in the summary here that it was running XP Embedded. >> What the hell does that have to do with the actual story? That the plane might not stay in the air?
