  1. This would be very easy to defeat on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This technology sounds like it will be easy to defeat. You might just have to rip your CDs to Wav and burn a CD from the Wav files instead of a direct copy. They're rather limited in what they can do and have compatiability with CD players. This would work for most cd's

  2. I would be wary of this news on Sun COO Schwartz Promises Open Source Solaris · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Doesn't anyone else find it strange that we have a Microsoft and Sun deal and now Sun starts touting, "You should not be using Linux, as some day we are going to be making Solaris open source." Yeah sure but are we certain that "some day" will arrive? It has long been a tactic of M$ to announce something as being "almost ready" to forestall interest in a competing product that they really have no answer for. Then by creating enough uncertainty and doubt, they repeatedly harm their competitors with vaporware announcements.

  3. Security is only one possible area for innovation on The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When the eventual goal of having this data displayed in a real time setting the applications of usefulness will be startling. Data that had to be updated manually during the conference, will be available to researchers to do tci-square analysis to approximate the optimum network efficencies. Even use in the business sector and th ability to analyze huge databases will be quite amazing, although at least a half-decade down the road. Besides the primary educational aspect of the Cube, the secondary goal of the Cube will see fruition as to how investigate new techniques in visually analyzing network traffic and also to develop a tool that would potentially assist those involved with computer security. Really fascinating stuff.

  4. I thought The Gimp was a Tarantino character? on Second quarter Open Source Awards announced · · Score: 0

  5. From Article: MaxxLength penis enlargement pills on NYT on Spam Cops · · Score: 1, Informative

    It is a real postal box that was associated with the Camania site. It turned out to be at a Mail Boxes Etc. in Kirkland, Wash., only a few minutes from Microsoft's headquarters. Microsoft then hired outside investigators to stake out and follow whoever picked up the mail. It turned out to be Jason Cazes, who Mr. McBride said sells "MaxxLength" penis enlargement pills. HOW is this a faulty product? It just promises for you to reach your maximum lenght, whether that be 3, 6 or 9 etc.

  6. I won't miss it Sony did not keep promise on Sony Exits US Handheld Market · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So long Sony, I won't miss the Clie because of what they did to me. I was happy to pay nearly $500 for a Clie NR70V, but when Sony lied to me and told me that one day I would be able to use a 1 gig memory stick with it, they lost me as a customer. I not only quit buying Sony PDAs, I didn't buy a Sony camera, opting for a Minolta with a standard SD card slot. Sony charged premium prices for some very nice models and they were making money on them until the memory stick debacle coupled with their crippled CF slot. I will be happy buying elsewhere from a company that keeps its promises to its customers. So don't let the Memory Stick hit you on the backside when you leave Sony!

  20. Sad News Indians burned at Space center on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    India Space Center Blast, Fire Kill Six 34 minutes ago outsource american rocket scientists MADRAS, India - An explosion and fire at India's main space center Monday killed at least six people, police said. AFP/File Photo Flames erupted at the solid propellant fuel plant at the government's Dhawan Space Center, on Sriharikota Island just off India's southeastern coast, the center's spokesman, K. Ravindran, told The Associated Press. Six people died in the fire, according to police officials in the Nellore district in coastal Andhra Pradesh state, speaking on condition of anonymity. Ravindran did not immediately confirm the casualty figure. The island is about 60 miles from Madras, the largest city in the region. "Some people have been hurt. We don't know the extent of their injuries. They are under medical supervision now," Ravindran said. The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. The space center is the main launch base of the Indian Space Research Organization and has been used to launch several Indian, German, Korean and Belgian satellites. The center processes solid propellants used in launching satellites, conducts ground tests and has rocket launchpads.

  21. Altman is right about some spam defense on In (Sort Of) Defense of Spammers · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Altman is right on about the economic factors that spam produce. First of all about knowing the behavior of the applications that *usually* behave in normal fashion but produce wierd results if one of the input interfaces of a *closed application* doesn't get the desired input. But the way i understand is that a few of the interfaces may not be in user control. How do we get to know the inputs defined at the hidden input interfaces? Will it be possible to inject some faults over there? As Eric mentioned, increase the memory load and see the behavior of notepad, this is simple case. I was wondering about ip tables and NAT rules defined in *nix or even some billing hook defined for some telco. How would be ever able to know the input interfaces of that black box? And another important point that will it be possible to take output of black box / closed app and intercept it so as to avoid it's default behavior and treat that output as input to some other black box? I mean chained black box debug behavior.
