Nope. I got a letter from Rogers who got a letter from the CRIA that I was sharing on Dalnet on IRC and had given a (that is ONE) copy of their music to one of their little spies.
They didn't even approach me, they went straight to my ISP to get me kicked off.
I didn't get kicked off, but I was through with IRC sharing, and later capping made it all moot anyhow. I can hardly WAIT to see these people hammered by the Internet.
I have to say this again - the RIAA is hiring stooges to go on these things and look for their music. If they find it, they dl it from you, get your IP, run it back to you and sue you.
The tapeworms who run Hollywood will suck on anything that might increase the bottom line.
One thing for sure - the game industry will never see nickle one out of this no matter how profitable the film... they never make any money! Ask Mario Puzo!
I got it so I could arrive at work 3 minutes early - but they set the clock to be 5 minutes fast so it recorded me as 2 minutes late... As time was measured in 15 minute units, I lost 15 minutes.
--Getting a call from an America consultant (no names) for this 6 month Clarion gig in Miami for a big insurance company (no names).
--Having done this for a very professional Cdn firm (contract renewed twice) I figured it had to be better because it was American. I take the deal.
--Drive 2 hours to the border. Try to get TN visa. Turned back for lack of documentation (University transcript)
--Drive home. It is a long weekend in Canada. University closed. Wait.
--Endure rigmarole and pay $ for dox. Takes all day. Drive back to border next day.
--Get third degree from US Customs. Reluctantly issue TN visa. Charge 50 USD.
--Drive to Miami. In Titusburg Florida meet hacker legend the Cheshire Catalyst. See a shuttle launch. Highlight of the trip.
--Arrive on the spot. Its now an AMERICAN long weekend. Wait.
--Tuesday. Go to the office. The instant I walk towards the elevator three security guys jump out of nowhere. A Black guy in a suit with sunglasses and a walky talky and two white guys in uniform. They demand to know why I'm there. They check out my story and disappear, and I never see them again, but I know they're watching. This does not happen in Canada (and this was WAY before 9/11 too.)
--At the office, nothing is ready. Run around looking for cables for my computer. Have to install own copy of Clarion 5. Spend rest of day getting LAN access. NT shop. Sys admin has never heard of Groups so I have to be assigned access to each resource separately. CoWorker smiles right in my face as he welcomes me to the shop.
--Wednesday - was given the code I was to work on on a floppy disk. Really. At this time I realized this is an amateur shop. Ask Smiling Coworker question regarding Clarion initialization which I had not done for a very long time. He smiles, answers, and goes and tells my new boss I am incompetent.
--Friday. Fax in my time sheet and phone consultant that its there, like I did at the Cdn job. He tells me the firm is letting me go. I break into a flop sweat instantly.
--I confront the boss. You see, I was not supposed to find out about this then. He tells me this isn't for learning experiences. This is when I figure it out about Smiling CoWorker. I tell the boss I do not appreciate this treatment. I do not raise my voice or use profanity. I pack and leave the office. I do not erase any of my work. Someone had to be the professional there and it wasn't them.
--Leave the building. I never see security, but I can feel their eyes on my back.
--Go back to digs. Call consultant. He asks me what I said to the boss, as the boss called him the moment I left the office. So, not only is this guy heartless and brainless, he's gutless too.
--Cry myself to sleep. I really did and I was 43 at the time.
--Wait a week for my cheque. Intercept it just as they are about to mail it...
--drive back to Canada. Lose about $1,000 and all my respect for American management. I am home before the shuttle I saw take off lands. I later read a book that says 'At a new job, beware the guy who's really friendly'. Too true.

for all this or this movie is going to turn out to be another Will Smith shoot 'em up crap movie, this time with robots.
Will Smith (I *knew* there was a disaster in the works when I heard he was involved) is another tough black streetwise cop, this time investigating an impossible robot murder. Hi ho. You know, the way he was in Wild Wild West, which he ruined, and men in Black which even HE couldn't ruin, and Independence Day, with airplanes, which was impossible to ruin even with a heaping helping of American Jingoism (tm).
The fact that Hollywood keeps turning out stupid violent movies with great special effects doesn't make up for the fact that they are dumping their low brow excrement all over one of my treasured childhood memories. Like Starship Troopers.

All they have to do is force Google to remove any web sites they decide are politically incorrect to SEVERELY cut back access to those web sites.
This can be done with lots and lots of harassing lawsuits, and it very probably will.
Google is a big point of failure for the Internet.
They ARE going to include Helix with it, RIGHT?
like Tillman?
(Who I totally admire by the way, it is people like him who make American formidiable, not the Bomb)

Any P2P without anonymity is useless.
Maybe it's a Eubonics web site...?
Why the Hell can't we get this on the net? are they afraid people might ENJOY it or something?
or will be, shortly. Any time big bucks depend on some web site operator's opinion, that web site operator is going to get a great offer...
:-)
Gotta start a game rating web site....

I've always thought that an infrared camera on a plane could find you easily in the woods, especially at night...
Just get one of these!

It's very, very non-refundable.
Sco, Sun, Cisco and all the rest are doomed.
They'll all be replaced by cheap P-Boxes running Linux or, when we smarten up, OpenSBD.
Now they're alienating an entire new generation of young people.
When the MPAA hits the ground, its going to make a crater THIS BIG.
I recomend Jet Audio at http://www.jetaudio.com/ for video. Best I've run into yet.

Worst job ever?

I think he should be devoured by snakes.
Sorry....
If not, why do you suppose they don't do it?
Yes and she was a narrow broad in the book.

So I'm glad she's hot in the movie.

At least Dr Susan Clavin is hot.
The proper way to handle this is with a multi homed OpenBSD box running PF and ignore the attack entirely.
I mean it. Tell him he might have to wind up running human emotions under emulation if necessary.
Not knowing what the hell is wrong with him will stress him a lot more than having something, anything, he can deal with.
Good luck with this.
