I do. When I used to buy CDs I would make a copy of it and keep the original at home. The copy went into a binder in my car. If my car was broken into then all I lose is the copies... and heaven forbid my house should burn down then I can still make copies from the ones in my car and have perfect copies of the originals. I bought a license to listen to the songs, not the physical media. If you believe I bought the physical media then I STILL have the right to make a backup copy of it in case it gets broken. This is codified in law, not just my crazy commie brain.
It's been pre-Slashdotted. You get an error saying their servers are already too busy doing preloads and to try again in a few hours.
They should really find a better way to distribute these huge programs. Maybe they could press it to a CD and put it in a box at the store so we can just pick it up there instead of downloading it?
But still, hes right in what he says, the dc hub software can only reasonably hold around 2000 people max, even if each was sharing the minimum 100GB each, thats only 200TB, nowhere near the petabyte limit.
Whether it's 40PB or 200TB is fairly irrelevent at this point. These people are commiting atrocious amounts of piracy and should be locked up in prison for the rest of their lives for their crimes against humanity.
Could they be a bit clearer on which TZ they're basing the attack? For me, it's already "tomorrow" in Japan.
I was under the impression everyone used the standard time zone EST5EDT. Are you saying there are places in the world that don't? That seems kind of silly to me. Since Washington, D.C. is the capital of the free world I propose that all world citizens use EST5EDT as their time zone for consistency.
However, these means are the primary ways of detecting terrorist chatter. If an attack were to happen on US soil for which the planning occurred over VOIP lines, or email, or normal phone lines, and the CIA couldn't prevent it because they couldn't tap lines, then we would all be up in arms.
Instead of trying to detect attacks, how about eliminating the reasons the terrorists have for attacking us in the first place? Everybody has a reason for doing something... find out what their reason is and eliminate it. I imagine their reason has nothing to do with being really evil and wanting to eliminate freedom, so don't even throw that one in the ring. Nobody is really evil, just greedy and motivated by their own self-interests.
A great way to kill your batteries is to let them sit when they're discharged. LiIon needs to be charged as much as possible.
Really now? So it's not bad I leave my iBook plugged in 24/7 at home? I guess not since I still get about 4 hours of battery life, just like when I bought it 2 years ago.
Being the de facto standard and having years on the other people means you need saving?
I guess I work with a bunch of geeks, but every single person in my office that has bought a PVR so far has gotten a ReplayTV. Even the guy that had a Tivo for years dropped his subscription and picked up a ReplayTV. It's the whole Betamax vs. VHS and DVD-RW vs. DVD+RW thing all over again. Technically the ReplayTV is a better system, but TiVo is, like you said, the "de facto standard" to clueless people who want a PVR.
It's only those of us in the center that are open to anything.
Once upon a time I would've called myself a conservative, but now I'm more like a centrist plunked down in the middle of two completely moronic extremes. You have these idiot hackers and the morons of moveon.org on the extreme left, and then you have Bush and his religious right nazis on the right trying to bring the country under authoritarian control using fear of the unknown terror. It's sad to say, but even Clinton was more moderate than either of the two douchebags running for President this year.
The NSLU2 and the WRT54G are two completely different devices you know. If you bought the WRT54G I presume you wanted the capabilities to act as a router and access point for your network, while the NSLU2 just connects a USB disk drive to your network. If you just bought it to play with Linux then you're silly since you could pick up any number of old PCs on eBay that would be considerably cheaper and more useful than either of these devices.
What would you use instead? web.slashdot.org? Putting DNS A records on the domain name like slashdot.org does just seems sloppy to me. I know most people do it these days, but there's a reason DNS is hierarchical. hostname.domain.tld or hostname.subdomain.domain.tld is logical.
Because Shrek is generally accepted as a funny, quality movie packed into a tight 90 minute package. If you don't like the movie, it's a matter of poor taste, not poor production.
But that is YOUR opinion. My opinion is that I like Shrek, but that doesn't stop someone else from thinking it is dumb. Hell, my wife hated Lord of the Rings.. you guys would probably stone her to death.:-)
Why mod anyone down in a topic about asking what you think is the worst movie you've ever seen? So, if someone said Star Wars Episode 2 would you mod them down as a troll too? Because I'll say that.. Attack of the Clones sucked donkey balls. George Lucas should be ashamed of himself. Man, that's why I like Fark better.. no idiotic moderation system. If you post something bad enough then it just gets deleted, but here the moderators will basically delete your posts (mod them below 1) because they don't agree with your opinion. That's pretty fucked up.
The PDA & the mission objective's in D3 had a semi RPG feel to them.
Yea, that got boring after about an hour. Go here, get this guy, oh shit, demons, come back to base, base is f*cked up, go to the new base, blah blah. Thankfully that left cheats in so I could just enable god mode and give myself all the weapons so I could do what I really wanted and blow off some steam blowing shit up. It's kind of a pain finding the PDAs that have access so you can open doors, but that's why God invented noclip mode. Yes, I cheat in single player mode.. I don't care.
The parent didn't say the group was large, he said the legal system in Norway is largely fair.
Actually yes, he did. He said: " He is just a front figure of a large international cracking group."
"Large international cracking group" implies that the group is large, not 3 members. Either way this guy is a criminal and should be extradited to the US to stand trial for his crimes against humanity.
Imagine if the vaudeville and stage actors had gotten together back in the early 20th century and gotten motion pictures outlawed. Or if actresses and actors who had horrible speaking voices had gotten talkies outlawed in the late 1920's, etc.
Actually I recall watching a documentary on Thomas Edison that said he tried to do exactly that. He wanted to retain firm control over silent motion picture distribution and sued anyone that tried to compete with his patents. Truly ahead of his time.;-)
Fool, that's your localhost address. Your real address is the one assigned to a physical adapter. For example, mine is 192.168.10.20. Feel free to hack me all you want.
I had always hoped that SecurID would reject a second use of the same number but didn't know for sure
I can second that. It is not vulnerable to a replay attack within the time period before the tokencode changes. In fact, this is kind of a pain in the ass if you're logging into routers to troubleshoot something as you can only login once per minute lest you be hit with a "passcode re-use attack" error in the ACE/Server log (with our standard securid tokens which have a 60 second rotation). Get enough of those and your token gets disabled.
But not b/c of the freq. but b/c they have models with Digital Spread Spectrum. That's a much more reliable way to keep people from picking up your phone conversations. IIRC, 900mhz phones don't offer DSS. So when purchasing a phone, make sure it has DSS if you want security.
My 900Mhz Panasonic cordless phone most certainly is digital spread spectrum (DSS logo right on the box when I bought it a few years ago). I specifically avoided 2.4GHz phones because I had a wireless network and have had zero problems. Hell, buy one off of eBay if you have to.. why torture yourself and risk the problems?
So odds are a 5.8GHz phone would mess with the upper range of 802.11a.
802.11a is deader than a doornail now that 802.11g is here so it's kind of irrelevent. Get a 5.8GHz phone and just use 802.11g. The only people that would go with 802.11a are the suckers who adopted it too early and are stuck with obsolete hardware.
Then of course it'll be blamed for putting a whole shitload of fat guys in suits out of work, they'll buy some more laws to put a stop to it, etc...etc...etc...
I wouldn't be too worried about those guys. I'm sure John Kerry's presidential administration would pick up any ex-RIAA executives and offer them positions of power. The democrats have a love-fest going with the entertainment industry just like the Republicans are supposedly controlled by Halliburton.:-)
Yeah. I can't stand IE and love Firefox, but I don't see "We gave up Netscape 4 and wound up with IE6" as a life lesson you could teach to the grandkids.
Oh really? I don't remember my browser becoming infested with spyware and viruses using Netscape 4.7. How many browser helper objects have infested your IE installation and slowed it to a crawl? If you're careful not too many, but to the average user it's a nightmare until they discover adaware or spybot.;-/
You mean Netscape 4.75 isn't the latest thing?
Quick, somebody get me my IT dept's number!
Our users complained about Netscape being outdated so the IT department deleted it and told everyone to use IE 6.0 now as the only supported browser. Be careful what you wish for...
You've merely been suckered by the spin that the PATRIOT Act is in some away a counter-terrorism measure, rather than noticing that the terrorism angle was just to stop you from noticing that the Bill of Rights was being recinded.
The only thing that could rescind the Bill of Rights is a constitutional ammendment. The USA PATRIOT Act is not a constitutional ammendment, therefore every single one of these cases should be overthrown in the federal courts without question. The PATRIOT Act is illegal.

"We" being Canada? We certainly don't have a copy tax in the USA on all blank media.
