I read an article about Trent Reznor co-producing the album of Saul Williams. I'm a big NIN fan but never heard of Saul Williams, still I bought the album without thinking. Just like I did for Radiohead, although I know their music. And Saul Williams is great! Best thing is, free downloads are 192 kbps. But if you pay 5$ you can choose between 192, 320 or flag!
So people if you like NIN and hip-hop download Saul Williams! I really hope this is going to be a new way of doing music business.
Because Mandriva can't use this case as a reference anymore. They can't go to any potential buyers and show them that the Nigerian Goverment is using Mandriva and is very pleased with it. Sure they get some money now, but this might cause them to loose sales in the future.
I have the same views with books.
I buy the book. Open the book, no commercials.
I can flip to any chapter I want.
I can read it as many times as I want.
I can borrow it out to a friend.
I can sell it if I don't want to book anymore.
And that is what I want to be able to do with digital media!
Sure you still need a BD or HD-DVD player but if you demand a new playe, you need to demand player model x+1. Anything less money back or lawsuit.
Me, I'm happy enough with my DVD's. DRM Free MP3's (yeah emusic!) and get my television kicks from tvtorrents.com
I guess the point that you're trying to get across is that we shouldn't have to have upgrades to get around bugs that are introduced by the crappy DRM to begin with, and I wholeheartedly agree with that. However, for people who already own players that won't play their legitimately purchased discs, they really should be able to ave the most convenient options for getting their players up and running. Especially since these players are still pretty expensive. They should just return the player and the movie demand a full refund or a brand new player.
That is the only way to let companies that we don't want DRM, that it doesn't work and that DRM cost them more money.
The year zero cd costs more in Australia then the average CD price in Australia.
The label told him they could get away with it because of his loyal fans.
Crap like britney is much cheaper.
1) The link I posted is who theorized the security aspect of that feature. I'd simply found it inexplicable.
2) The security claim is actually a vaguely reasonable justification for that behavior. "I still know whether I've typed it correctly before I hit enter" is an absurd "solution" to a non-problem and is completely at odds with any other interface any user is accustomed to.
3) Looking deep into the Notes documentation, I see that the annoying random bullets in the password field are designed to thwart shoulder surfing, exactly as I said. The even more annoying blinking of the hieroglyphics is irrelevant to the "knowing whether your password is correct without having to hit 'Enter'" idiocy. As others have mentioned already that link is old but anyway
The hieroglyphs (or a set of keys in later versions) is indeed a good indication to know if you entered the correct password. But is is not to make it easy for you the user but it is there to make it harder for the person who tries to get your password by creating a fake password prompt.
If you get a password prompt "Please enter your Lotus Notes password" and you don't see the hieroglyphs, or they don't change when you type in your password. You know something is wrong.

Not everyone has access to the internet. Isn't this a case about software used in a Skype phone.
And is Skype not VOIP?
Who with no internet will be using Skype?
I agree that they should have included the source on a CD with the phone, but your argument is just silly.
You don't buy a license when you buy a car but the entertainment industry wants us to believe that if I buy a CD or DVD that I'm just buying a license to watch/hear content under their regulations. However if you go to the shop and ask for a replacement for your damaged CD then it is suddenly an object and you have to pay for it. Until they sort this out I will download music of CD's that I already bought.
Note. I'm only downloading music of eMusic or CD's none of the illegal stuff.
The data contains all the information, so why not an authentication system. DRM for data. If you can validate if the data is from Company X then the data should be able to validate that you are allowed to see it. You still can have a copy of the data on your server, just can't use it.
You know the funny thing? It is not that I am cheap, I got money to burn, and never had a trouble renting or buying stuff before. Just that it has gotten so much easier to just fire up a torrent.
It is the same here.
I have money, I'm willing to spend it. But I want value for money.
I buy CD's but only for 10 Euro or less. I had an exception to that rule in the past year and it was for an indie band "Sikth".
The problem is DRM doesn't deliver value.
I download music from eMusic and it is easy. Download + add to my library (iTunes), done!
But if I can't find an artist on eMusic, the new CD is still 20 Euro's. I'll download it and wait a half year then by the CD
If they would have made it availale online with no DRM they could have my money already
I download TV shows via bittorrent, a day after US release I can watch it.
I would be happy to pay for it but I have my conditions.
No DRM! Respect me and I respect you.
Make it available in Europe!
Make it cheaper! You deliver a low/reduced quality product. You have less distribution costs.

Germany has had a few kids going nuts and in every case there was something in common. The person in question owned 'violent' video games. So it is very easy to ban video games. But they forgot another thing all cases had in common, every person was attending high-shool of some sort of education. So my conclusion is to ban education and no more school shootings.
This give the kids also more time to play video games.
Chill man.
I was just providing you some data.
As you say, the majority (joe sixpack) buys a pc with a legal version of Windows. So only the people with the technical skills (the geeks) run an illegal version but even they don't all run an illegal version. And I stand corrected, it is around 45% of all windows using geeks, give me a break it is weekend.
Then again, most geeks are the "helpdesk" of the family and often provide them with a nice program or OS to do something they want (Office, Photoshop). But even that shouldn't change the nummers much.
Let's have a look at a pole at Tweakers.net, a Dutch news IT website. The question is: "Is your primairy OS legal?"
The answers:
ja, mijn Windows is betaald (yes, I paid for Windows) 45,7% (8896)
Nee, ik gebruik een 'geleende' Windows (No, I have a 'borrowed' copy of Windows) 39,5% (7676)
Ja, ik gebruik een opensource-besturingssysteem (Yes, I'm using an opensource OS) 8,2% (1589)
Ja, mijn Mac is onbespoten (Yes, legal version of Mac OS 4,6% (899)
Nee, ik draai tegenwoordig stiekum OS 'X86' (No, I'm running OS 'X86') 2,0% (386)
Almost 50% of the Dutch geeks run an illegal copy of Windows.
Every console sold by Nintendo is profit, they don't sell at a loss. So all the games they sell (online) are extra. Sony needs to sell a lot of movies/games before they are even on level because they are selling at a loss.
Have you tried Gizmo?
It is a SIP client, supports Linux, Mac and Windows and you can buy credit to call landlines/mobiles and send SMS.
The SMS function works on the Mac but I presume it also works on Linux.

If I really like a CD downloaded from emusic I still buy the CD!

4 parties, including IBM left without a vote.
So I think these parties would have voted no so the result would have been 5-10-3.
Looks much better.

This is not a dupe.
The previous story was about Firefox gaining market share.
This story is about IE "loosing" ground.
Completely different.

Yes, it is addictive. Time to play again!.
