If it is done similar to other trash online, the comercials will be seperate streams, set in between segments of show. No doubt they will have fast forwarding disabled. ABC seems to be very reactionary in this move, but none the less some "journalist" copied their press release as news. Or they were in a cave for the previous months.
The Barenaked Ladies publicists/marketing cooked up a winner here. The truth is that none of us, bar some small minority care about BNL, but it made it to the front page of slashdot. This is called a Press Hit. Their publicists are getting a fat check on this one.
We seem to enjoy missing the point, so we start arguing about whether other bands will follow. I will put this in for kicks:
Some might, but upping the distribution costs that much is not profitable long term since consumers wont pay $30 for the same thing everytime.
"In the long run a working copyright law is also a condition for their business - we are in the same boat since we have the content and they have the means of distribution," said Pontén.
In the US, many ISPs are a division of a larger media corporation. Therefore, their finances come from hawking such media (See AOL etc.). The obvious connection to this is that the ISP will not stop their parents from impeding their customers. In Sweeden, however, this appears to not be the case. The ISPs make money from their ability to move data. They don't care what kind of data that they are moving, if they did, they would lose money. If a customer gets sued, they are out that customer, and the people that downgrade their internet packages because they stopped using so much bandwidth for fear of a lawsuit. The media corporations are not equipped to make use of the ISPs bandwidth, so banding together with them would hurt the ISPs bottom line. Media company's solution: Try to buy them out and stop competition. To stop competition, they either have to get laws passed, or advertise more about how great their music videos are.
This brings us to the future problem. A newcomer ISP can always offer cheaper service if they only provide bandwidth and not media. To combat this the MediaISPs will make more complicated rate structures which obfuscate the fact that the customers are paying more, in hopes of staying around longer. This will be alongside their legal fight to gain more powers associated with IP. The newcomer ISP competes only if there is sufficient free content on the internet to justify the bandwidth.
You must be the type that thinks attaching a 200GB Hard Drive to a portable device is a Good Idea. In the real world however, $50/GB is not unreasonable in this market since Memory Sticks are ~$100/GB.
Believe me, the benefits of competition almost always outweigh the benefits of monopoly. Second, why should the government be allowed to steal google from its owners? Don't try to pretend that that would be imminent domain. When people try to destroy capitalism, it makes me sick, what else works?
You can also get "radio" on a TV. If you have an old tv that has channels up to 83 and manual tuning, you can pick up cellphone signals. To do this, tune in channel 83 and use the precise tuning to range around. You won't find much anymore, since most are digital, but you may pick up a few. There is another channel that works too, I think it was 80. It has been a while. Oh yea, it probably is illegal wherever you live, so check first.
You probably can find some police radios or something similar if you poke around above channel 69, since those channels were all reallocated.
What you are talking about is the act, if someone had written the source code or concepts for the worm and released this, without infecting anyone, why should they go to jail. If the courts declare that it is not speech, then what is? If we let liberty slip through our fingers like this, how will we stop this from being used as analogy for just the information leading to the exploit, and soon it will be illegal to publish anything of the sort. Don't give up your rights, even if you are not the one using them.
Yes we will. Programs can already be written to load in kernel mode, so a kernel patcher is possible, and writing to the flash works as well. Just a matter of time till the swap trick is a one time deal.
Why does every Pc benchmark have to use bar graphs? In this case some nice trendlines could have been made. I admit that with a general pc comparison they make sense, but when you are comparing only one computer you can establish a real relationship between the variables you change and those that you measure.
How long until there are key release groups whose primary goal is the release of the keys to the scene. Sounds like an extension of the cracker groups of today.
Also, this is not going to stop movie release groups. They will be able to get at least one unreleased key which will never get shut down since the industry does not know which one it is. All this scheme seems to do is arm the scene with tools to combat drm on an even broader scale.
Not just them, the entertainment industry is bound to see the implications such a network would have. Incredibly hard to track nodes. Once they are located physically, ownership is hard to establish, and the network is not monitored. Sounds like a file sharing haven. Plus, since hops would be directly correlated with bandwidth, it could be optimally efficient with a bittorrent-like program. Allowing some sort of multicasting could push this efficiency up higher.
Don't give up yet, it may not seem at first glance to favor the cracker, but there are other factors. Assuming that the cracker is smart enough to use some of the new findings about md5 and is able to 1st crack a few thousand machines, he could have a file with the same md5 as a target in a few weeks. The wiki page notes that the time it would take with 6000 commodity pcs is 3 weeks for a simple colision. The problem is that I don't think the new findings allow for the cracker to pick the orriginal starting point, but they certainly cant make his job harder. Compromise a million pcs with a massive worm and those 3 weeks could drop significantly too. Cracked Windows Boxes Unite!
Accidentally microwave it. Then refuse to pay for a new one, because it cannot be helped that they are crappy and break. When new one is made, repeat. Second solution: religious reasons for why your child cant wear an id. Third: get a brain and get them outlawed. Come up with some case where they can be hacked and used by pedophiles or something.
Not to hate, but I have played around with my friends' V300's, and compared to my much less converged nokia 3100, they suck. They are slow, the camera takes bad pictures, and from what i can tell the user interface is designed to be confusing. Yea, integration could be good, but when the choice is between a product that works well and a poorly designed one, I will buy the one that works well.

Sure, it is the algorithm. Thats what a dirty robot would do, huh.

PR As stated, trend reports are almost always PR. At least it isn't a dupe.
He meant beat off. or... beat up.

Yea, but it might block wifi?!?!
When will they make housing for the slashdotter that is wifi approved?
Won't somebody think of the (30 yr. old) children?
Did you change your host file to get work done, only to end up memorizing the slashdot ip? Happens to the best of us.

If you mean the number 181, then you are wrong. It was discovered a long time ago.
Yea, and 9/11 was no ones fault too! Just natural selection.
This kind of thinking leads nowhere, even if there was no fault, we still must look for one, if only to prevent it from happening again.
