Hopefully like the current state of emissions, anything built pre-emissions is not required to follow the standard, IE a 57 Chevy is not required to have a catalytic converter. I hope this holds true for black boxes. If that's the case, I can expect alot of tin foil hatters to pay top dollar for my once worthless Yugo.
I'm glad I live in a country that doesn't censor what media I chose to frequent... oh wait nvm.
Now disregarding the fact that it is a torrent sharing site, and casting aside the whole p2p / piracy issue, which I do realize is what is at the heart of this matter. This is blatant censorship. If they get away with this and this country continues to seize domains without legal backing (read a warrant), what will be next?
That's an interesting argument but I think it's deeper than that. Since I got high speed internet through my cable provider 7 years ago, I have not have cable tv service. There was no need. It think alot of people are in this same situation. It just seems funny that the more people wish to stream the more ISP's want to throttle what used to be wide open. Think more money more bandwidth, or more money due to exceeding a gb limit or god forbid a mb limit per month. Not only that but what of ISP's that aren't also cable tv providers? Do they also wish you not to stream?
Infringing copyright costing software developers money assumes, that those doing the infringing are profiting in some way from the software developers work. Most pirated things I have seen have been made public by the pirates for free as in air. So in this case who is profiting? I'd point the finger squarely at the person which downloaded said content. At best pirates are responsible for illegal distribution. Still though we are talking about perceived losses. Those that download illegally may claim to download the software because they can not afford it. The fact is there that had it not been available to them the download would not have taken place, but at the same time they never would have purchased the software in the first place. So where is the real loss? Back in the days before P2P and torrents, when people shared by burning disks for friends and passing them out, no one really complained of piracy.
Hear hear, now we need to apply this logic to the US Government so we can all prosper, though their theft is much different but the scale of which is mind bottling.
If you are one of those that are unfortunate enough to not have a choice of ISP either due to only 1 in your area or all in your area with caps, how about emailing compaines that have streaming media, if you have an account with them. How far do you think these caps would go, if half of Netflix userbase suddenly dropped their service, because they were capped on the data amount their ISP let them have.
I can see the email now.
Dear Netflix, I regret that I must terminate my account with you, due to my ISP having a cap on the amount of bandwidth I can use per month. Though my family and I have enjoyed your streaming services for N months now, we simply can not sacrifice our day to day net usage for streaming content. In the future we may be able to reopen an account, but as of this time there is only 1 ISP in our area, we have no other choices for service.
Thank you Joe Capped
Is it just me that thinks that if Netflix, or ESPN, or whoever sells streaming subscriptions gets a few thousand emails like this that they wouldn't start putting pressure on the ISP's?
Why is steam getting bundled into this? Unless you are downloading a shit-ton of games from the steam store, steam uses no more than a normal mp gaming session.
I know someone is going to say something about the steam updater, but last I checked when a patch for a game was released your option was to download the patch or play on unpatched servers. The latter tends to be lacking if a game is popular at the time.
That's crap. I have a dead account on Paypal that had a few bucks in and I have never had anyone looking for me to return it. So you know it has been unused at least 8 years.
This is utter crap. I am less likely to believe that people think leaving $12 or some other amount of money is wasteful, considering you have people shelling out possibly hundreds a month in other games for virtual goods that will never really have real world value, and if the game ever goes tits up, you are just assed out. That's not even diving into the Gift Card area, where it's common to have a dollar or two left on a card due to not being able to purchase anything with it.
Not to mention that they should have been prepared for anything, plenty of fresh water to drink, food to eat, blankets, a compass. Yeah I know it's alot for what is supposed to be a short trip across the desert by car, but what if the vehicle broke down? Ounce of prevention.
As the cliche goes knowledge is power. By the same token he who has the knowledge has the power. Like your post states with the spread of gadgets and the ability to chat with someone of another culture real time on the other side of the globe as a race it brings us closer together, it breaks down the societal borders that have been in place those thousands of years. It allows an outsider to see from the inside and no longer be rejected for being an outsider, because where you are visiting or those you are talking too, know as much about your culture as well.
A whitelist that protects what's needed from outside to inside, does nothing against an exploit that spawns an internal shell listening from inside to out. Even then depending on the configuration and the level that the server was compromised a web page with a pass-through script will run most anything from within a web browser and the Apache server on port 80 again useless firewall.
No to mention the 2 day lapse between the time the noticed the information was compromised and when they notified the FBI of the breach. I was under the impression that anyone that had credit card data on clients are liable for full quick disclosure of a breach as soon as it is noticed.
Actually I hate ATM's, I have found I spend less if I actually have to go inside, not to mention I actually like the people that work in my bank, they all know me by name and are even comfortable enough to give me hell when I'm there (jokingly of course). On the other hand there is a branch of the same bank up the street that a requirement to work there is to be an asshole, I absolutely refuse to use that branch.

No way, there's no mention of Ray in there. Shaq, Indiana Jones, and Jackie Chan and a few others but Godzilla did not step on Ray.

Fax, email, mail, or how about an aide sent to the summit with the document lock in a briefcase?
Benefit of that cable hog is depending on what breaks, anyway you slice it sub $300 repair is better than a $600 new laptop.

Pirates don't illegally file share, it's ISP's that allow DNS that cause illegal file sharing.

I agree, and if you are having trouble finding work, I hear the market is booming for Thai ladyboys.

People should also realize that no matter where they are, all main roads intersect with another main road.

I say put the two together, and stream it. "Sony IT Admins put down via fire. LIVE STREAM".
A whitelist that protects what's needed from outside to inside, does nothing against an exploit that spawns an internal shell listening from inside to out.

Yet it still happens everyday.

Anyone one else catch that the school incident and this were both in PA?
