And if this is the case no matter how minute the gravity change is how does it affect the calculations that scientist use to determine if an Asteroid will hit us on some future date.
I'm not discounting your statement on the value or legitimacy of the IMEI. I personally see no problem with the bill that would make hacking it illegal. However, your argument wasn't just based on the IMEI but rather on the statement of "1000 hackers / 1 good use" which applies to more than just a cellphone and the IMEI
Biotech research
Free speech ( let's stop all those pesky pr0n sites while blocking the one site that deals w/ breast cancer etc. )
and other such things. My argument was not with you, nor on the basis of the IMEI but rather the "Logic" of your argument
"If for every 1,000 hacks there is only 1 person doing it for scientific purposes then that one person has to pay the sacrifice for the greater good."
So if 1000 people want to map the human genome to devise some kind of malicious bio warfare and 1 scientist wants to find the cure for cancer. Then the scientist needs to be treated as a criminal while the criminals will just go underground to do their work anyway.
Sorry, but the logic doesn't seem sound in my opinion
And I assume you enjoy making copies of those "digital" shows. Do you honestly believe that with the "fairness" that congress has had lately to fair use rights that if digital is mandated and required that you'll have any right to copy "buffy" or even "bugs" anymore?
I agree that digital is great. DVD's are great but at what cost? Can you make a backup? no. Can you purchase one from London? no.
Why do you think that Digital TV, once required will be any better.
Personally the quality isn't worth losing my rights over
"Don't they have something better to do during the summer than hack our site?" asked the RIAA representative, who asked not to be identified. "Perhaps it at least took 10 minutes away from stealing music."
is misapplied. He means that their 20 college students on break that they have downloading music 24/7 to show to congressional comittees were stopped for 10 minutes
People who write pixel shaders ( those nice little algorithms that makes games pretty ) for things like fog effects, lighting etc have to use some low level assembly ( which is sometimes tied to the card as well ). This will allow for a higher level language so you can use do loops, for next etc. with writing shaders and for possible expanded ( cross card ) support
A method or apparatus whereby 2 values are composited together to make a third value. This would include storing the third value in one of the original 2 values that made the original composite.
Due to the nature of this action it would also cover the deduction of one value from another and other such items as those having their basis in this method of data transformation and it's inverse
I see several people saying "Just ask to be put on a DO NOT CALL LIST!!"
How is this going to fix anything?
Example. I call wal-mart 25 times in a week. They sell that info to target.
Target "MAILS" me a brochure ( they have my address mind you ). If I call the electronics dpt @ walmart Target could even mail me electronics brochures. A do not call list isn't going to fix anything but telemarketers. Telemarketers would LOVE to have a list of who you call so they can profile and sell items that match your supposed interests but there are more ways of contacting you than by phone
Hello Mr Smith, I'm calling today to tell you that we noticed that you are making quite a few calls to 555-555-5555. We further wish to tell you that we believe that these calls are related to you having an extramarital affair.
We are bringing you this service to offer you a chance to keep us quiet with a one time payment of $500. Not only will you get piece of mind ( for now ) that we won't tell your wife but you'll also get a handy cookbook from Martha Stewart.
If you don't wish to have your marriage ruined please stay on the line while I transfer this call to an independent verifier
"Bob Gangreene - I used to own a Tivo. I felt so boxed in. It's like I had no choices. Also, all of my actions were being recorded and sold. But now I have Apple's new PVR and I'll never go back"
"Janice Manson - PVR? What's that? Oh, you mean my personal recorder. It's so easy to use I don't even know what it's called"
"Hillary Rosen - This is off the record right? Well, personally I love this thing. And since it's from Apple we definitely have an easier time of chopping their little company into pieces over copyright issues. Just between you and me MS really looking into supporting the RIAA if we plan on going that route. All I can say is that Mac users are THIEVES"
"Will they have more minute-long shots of them walking? I really don't think their was enough in the original version"
Considering this is mostly what they did in the book I believe it shows the labor of their journeys. I believe it fits well. If you don't like the walking then you'll hate the book since it takes forever to even get to the point where <spoiler>
Frodo gets stabbed with the knife by one of the Ring Wraiths </spoiler>
I understand that for some it may have been boring but the Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece. There is no part that doesn't fit in some small way to the whole. It's said that JRR Tolkien scrapped 3 chapters of work because he realized that the phase of the moon was wrong and had to rewrite earlier chapters to take into account of the differing light.
He not only wrote the languages of the Elven Tongue and Dwarfish etc. But those languages predecessors and their predecessors. They are real languages ( considering he was a linguist - no surprise ). If you read the Silmarillion you see references to words in their earliest form "Orkos" which later was termed "Orcs" etc.
You'll note ( a part taken out of the movie I believe ) that in the Bar Frodo was saying what was to be an earlier form of the childrens nursery rhyme where "The cow jumped over the moon".
He was a perfectionist. His work is a masterpiece and maybe some will appreciate the intended meaning of the "long walking scenes" since they add to the air of the FotR.
Ghola's were a biological copy made in the Axlotl tanks
But the Ixians did do something that was considered breaking the rule ( at least politically it was expediant to say they did ) and so the House that ruled the planet lost control of it.
But still the whole machines of warfare is scary. Not because they fight againts other machines but rather when they are used againts human targets

I mean. I may not agree with him but this is a politician who is doing something most politicians don't do. He's representing his district ( this includes the media/software conglomerates ) and so you have to give him credit for that
NOTE: I don't endorse the proposal, but before people roast this guy alive just remember where he's coming from. Unlike Hollings who doesn't care a lick about his constituents

I believe what he means by encrypted is one way hash encrypted.
With a 1 way hash it's not *supposedly* possible to decrypt the value which is great for passwords since to verify all you have to do is encrypt the specified password and compare. The main advantage is that even your network admins/programmers can't get at the password and IF somebody was able to get ahold of the password list then it would do them no good.
This shows however that they weren't using a one way hash because
a. If it was stored as a 1 way hash lowercased then authentication wouldn't have failed if the case was different since I assume that the authentication algorithm would have lowercased the specified password before comparing to the stored value
b. Point a leads to this point being that it couldn't have been converted to a lowercase password since the encrypted value couldn't be retrieved and thus it had to be encrypted with a 2 way algorithm OR just plain text
1 way hash's don't work well in most scenarios such as CC#'s since you need to get the value out but they are PERFECT for password systems since it's only used for authentication and not as a necessary piece of information that has to be retrieved
Those on the file sharing services need to make their own Mp3's.
Change the name to something like Brtny Speers newest hits so it's not trademark infringement and in the mp3 put how they just STOLE YOUR COPYRIGHT material and that their IP has been logged. This way you're playing the same game they are
Not only that but the size of a CD is easy to download compared to one movie.
Piracy DOES hurt sales numbers. How much, How little is the question and a debate that's been waged time and time again here on slashdot so I won't go into it.
However, It is far easier for your average user to download a song via Mp3 then it is to download X movie in X movie format. On top of that the majority of users on the internet are still using Dialup and although a pain an Mp3 download via dialup is feasible... a movie download is not
Same thing happened to me. Once I started 3d game programming I understood that I needed to learn geometry.
Not only have I learned it but I understand it pretty well also since the things that I learn can be applied in a virtual world so I can see the effect of sin, cos and tan etc.

For some weird reason I have a visual image of 2 T Rex's fighting over prey.
Neither are innocent and it's the victim that benefits from the fighting
