Fuck you very much for your illegal suppresion of free thought and information. Believe it or not, there is a WORLD of "cool stuff" that is not under copyright, and is available on P2P systems.
There is more to life than the cunt Britney Spears(TM) you push into peoples eardrums.
I'm drinking water every day, 8 glasses full, because one day far far away I'm going to take a really long piss on someone's grave. Care to take a guess whose?
Make it 80 gigs, add some TiVo software with a bluetooth basestation attached to the cable box, and this can record shows whenever it's laying around the house.
To dream a little further, integrate an iPod and Palm OS, add a build in projector, make it float in the tub and usable in the shower (pr0n?).
...all I'm asking for is a BlueTooth adapter... the size of a postage stamp and available for $129 as a seperate product, but costs $20 at the factory and could be put into the iPod for less than $129, although I'd pay the full price for it.
One small change, including BT, and the device becomes SO MUCH MORE USEFULL!
Remember, there is a REAL WORLD of business and "stuff" going on outside of your little world of comic books, home work, and jerking off.
If aliens get our first strong siglans to leave earth atmosphere (TV and Radio siglans) and send them back to earth as a way to say Hello (ala movie "Contact") does that mean the RIAA and MPAA can sue the aliens for unlawfull duplication of copyright material?
...if the next iPod was 30gig and had build-in blue-tooth and color screen, and appls so i could access the HD from my Palm to store docs, email, etc (say I could devote 10 gig of iPod to the Palm) I'd pay $600 plus. OK, forget the color screen, but GIVE THE iPOD BLUETOOTH!!! Let me use my palm with it, or put a USB BT adapter into a clients PC and I'd be consultant from heaven, one little iPod with ALL my needed data!
The part of the iPod that is reserved for the palm or whatever BT device accesses it could be allowed full transwer two-and-from except for.mp3's so RIAA doesn't have a shit fit. Do this, Apple, and I'd buy a basket of the little things!!!
...walk around with this in a bag or briefcase, and use one of the new Palm Pilots with embeded bluetooth (comming out in a few weeks). Imagin having gigs of access from your palm? Access speed won't seem so bad compared to getting things onto and off a memory stick. THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GIVE A HANDHELD GIGS OF SPACE!!! You could have programs that sync with outlook and every folder and subfolder now! Programs could be aware of when the drive isn't around, and not hotsync apps with storage on the drive, so that syncs occur only then the drive and new/old data on it is around. I'd pay good $$$ to be able to hold all my info on this as a consultant. Also, stick in a bluetooth USB adapter onto clients PC and I no longer have to lug around all my CD's and swap all day while doing my thing. One drive, everything on it... PALM DEVELOPERS!!! GIVE ME APPS THAT STORE/READ FROM THIS DRIVE, AND YOU GET RICH AND MY WORKING DAY GETS EASIER? Fair enough?
I prommise I won't type caps again, I'm just real excited.
This is getting crazy. How the hell am I suppoed to make a backup? I buy all my s/w but this crap might make me spend a little more time on P2P is you know what I mean.
Dear HardAss Publishers,
If you do this en-masse, you will force many honest people to hit P2P so they can avoid your draconian DRM and copy-restrictive, fair-use bashing tactics.
...P2P Systems Under Strain: Users Recording Radio for Full Day onto Hard Drives, using Audio Software to Trim Individual Songs and make.mp3 and.ogg Files.
Lovely... whatever happens to CD's in stores, some *terrorist* is going to record a day of music, enjoy listening through it as they trim out the individual songs and plot them into.ogg sweetness. Simple lovely.
A very good idea. Peacefull way is the only way... also help all your family and friends learn how to use P2P and to boycott fake CD's, like the DRM ones the music industry is pumping out.
What's unclear? Certain bill pushers are hoars for Disney. RIAA want to protect a business model that no longer exists. Goverment works, until some rich bastard throws cash into someones face to pass laws just for them. And Duke Nukem Forever is taking, well, forever.
The year is 2020, we are all enjoying Duke Nukem Forever (just came out) and 3DFX is back as the number one graphics card maker, and MS Palladium is everywhere.
So as someone is reading their Palladium protected E-Book, they type what their eyeballs see on a laptop, into an ASCII TEXT file. Why? Because they are a hobbyist. They love freedom. And then the.txt file finds its way onto FreeNet and PeekABooty and P2P.
Back in 2002, some troll paid by RIAA et. al. to scan the web reads this post, and shits their pants. Because if someone can see it, they can type it, and everyone around the world can enjoy it.
Think of the act of typing something into plain text as a "freedom fix". Nice name, eh? Not "crack" or "patch" but "freedom fix". Start using that term.
> the knee-jerk "let's get rid of it!" reaction will eventually be more trouble than not
What we need is a greater knee-jerk reaction. A few months ago I got rid of WSH using "format c:/q/u". Now running OSX on new iMac, and old PC is a lovely Linux firewall. I think the top 10 Windows problems might not bother me now.;)
Where's the links? LOOK AT THEIR ARTICLE. No links. Isn't that the entire point of Hyper Text Transport Protocal? Unless there is a link to MSN.com or one of it's shit services (all adds, no news or "content" despite what you think) there are never any links on MSNBC. Crap. I guess that's what happens when an Evil Empire run by a bouncing monkey Balmer, controls the press.
Moron? Me? Who's the one with the propriatary memory stick? Enjoy your "protected" music on your "protected" devices. You can listen to MP3's still? Sure... for now. Enjoy DRM. I'd send you some music to listen to, but you won't be able to use it in a few months so no bother...
Sure, and "mechanically" their iLink is IEEE1394 FireWire. But it's not. Remove a few prongs and change the voltage and PROHIBIT anyone fron using it without paying a license. Real niiiice and open, eh? Want to BYPASS their protected CF slot? Wait and see what will happen. Kieth, let me introduce you to someone, DMCA. DMCA, meet Kieth.
Oh, about that memmory stick, so your telling me that I can take my 128mb SD card which I can use in a Kyocera phone, or a Palm 515, or a NomadII player, or any other large number of devices, and plop it into a sony device? Nope. Sorry. Have to fork over another bucket of $$$ for the same thing - memory - but in a different plastic case so I can use my little Sony device. Forget it.

Just so you know, any GUI that needs people to "get used to it" is bad design and doesn't take into consideration human factors and usability.

Result: S/W available only as compelte .iso image with crack implemented.
Going to make theater movies unrecordable?
Result: P2P shared movies are all nicely ripped screaner DVD releases.
DRM, cleaning up the warez and vids available on P2P.

Well... at least your network and your audio will be "protected" Sony style. Makes me sick. I stay away from Sony at all costs.
