This seems like it is a good example of copyright infringement. Wish the RIAA would flip out over this one. If I provide two versions, a clean and a dirty one, that is one thing, but if you a third party in the middle changes my shit and reweites it to be less offensive to ???themselves and you read it and it doesn't make any sense, then I look like an idiot. that's copyright infringement.
dude, intuit dropped the cdilla version. You can get a free clean clear non drm'ed version of the program by calling and asking. I even think they pay to send it to you.
Not only that, but despite it being called cdilla, it's not the same cdilla as the infamous cdilla. it's a whole new different version.
It's still drm and still isn't loved, but it isn't the spyware version.
What if they took a picture of the book reflecting in a mirror. Or better yet, a picture of the reflection reflecting in a second mirror. Then it would be readable, but you'd be taking a picture of a reflection of a reflection of a public book that has copy infringement of a private book. Would a picture of that picture be legal to own?
I know you're talking about Valves DRM for the binaries, but some could argue they didn't go far enough!
This is a great reason to support Palladium and "Trusted Computing" and DRM enabled BIOSes and all that stuff. In that would you never would have been able to open and view these files.
If the OS let you download them, it wouldn't let you view them because the OS would check the file for some key or password or something and you wouldn't have it and then it wouldn't open up.
On the other hand, I assume that the person who leaked it in this case, would have had the key in that hypothetical case. I also assume that if one had a magic key to see this source, they'd also have the ability to copy it out of it's protected state. So, it's possible that even in this wonderful magic Palladium world it would be leaked much the same way this was leaked. The person with access to the code made it available to people without access. It would have been harder due to the encryption that goes down to the bios level, but it would still be possible.
A fink is a fink.
What could have resulted, however, is that a digital signature would be present to allow Valve to trace the leak to it's source and then they could consult the RIAA on how best to handle the leaker -- as well as the downloaders they're able to find and catch.
You're all idiots. There is no such thing as Darwin. He didn't even LIVE. It's a lie designed to steal GOD from society. Don't believe me, tell me this? Have you seen Darwin's corpse? Have you met any of his offspring. Surely the father of evolution would have created offspring.
But that's not all.
Not only was there no Darwin, but there surely is no such thing as evolution. It's about as real as global warming. And we know that's a load of horse excrement.
The world isn't warming, and even if it were, it's not due to green house gasses.
The world, by the way, isn't round either. If you believe that it is round, you're against GOD.
And the SUN revolves around the EARTH! The earth is the center of the universe, because the earth is where Chris lived. It says in the bible God created the earth, it doesn't say he made a solar system and the earth is the 3rd planet in that system.
So quit being such heathens and get with the FACTS as described in the Book of Truth.
Everytime there is something strange like the phoenix lights, the shuttle crash, and mysterious plane crashes, the weather radar becomes a very interesting resouce. In some cases, it has been reported that the radar is mysteriously not available. It's taken, and then re-released back to people with the right permissions to see it.
New Mexico has flight radar, I don't know what the difference is, but either way, enabling radar in a backyard size package is interesting to say the least.
I wonder what their take will be on this. Normally I'd look for them to get an interview just so they could tell the FBI to fuck off with their anti-american PATRIOT act bullshit. But in this case, I imagine they have a conflict of interest that they won't be able to deal with. I hope they are advanced enough to seperate wanting to press charges from agreeing that the PATRIOT Act should be used or is valid in this case.
Phones are neat because you can dial with one hand - in the dark. PDA's were held back because they took two hands. Finally, palm/handspring came up with that little joystick thingy that allows one handed use. Yeah, PDA/Phones are finally one-handeable, but they're probably still a little hard to use without looking.
Enter this beast which splits the number pad in two vertical rows on either side of the display.
You now need to look and use two hands, just to DIAL the phone.
-1 flamebait? Because I hope MS wins. Wow. Only on slashdot. Seriously, aren't software patents bad? Or are they only bad when used against Linux/open source (think freevo, mplayer, et al) and good if used against MS. Whatever.
The enemy of the enemy is not the enemy. Software patents suck!. I hope MS wins. I also hope they get sick and tired of fighting software patent law suits and use their clout for good for a change and use it to help rid the world of software patents.
Same with Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. Telemarketing is the only non-government jobs available for the masses of undereducated people this state produces.
Still, if Arizona and other pitiful excuses for states like ALabama and Mississippi spent more money of education they'd have the job market available to attract better employers.
It's a stupid cycle. don't spend money on education. Get a stupid populace. Fail to attract employers. Stupid populace resorts to drugs and crime to deal with their shitty lives (or they become civil servants). Their kids grow up in broken homes and have stupid parents who don't care. They don't get an education. They grow up stupid. Etc. Meanwhile money is spent on law enforcement, jail, and welfare and unemployment to deal with the stupid uneducated populace.
Fuckin brilliant cycle. But are these states able to see the root cause or willing to spend more money on it? Hell no.
Mr. Strickland would be better off advocating for more money to be spent on education.
but yes, he is representing his constituants. Ironicly, many of those telemarketing employees signed that list, I'm sure of it.:-)
It's so sad that you're calling the US brain-dead and I can't disagree. It's mind boggling. The internet and world wide media was supposed to show the rest of the world how great we are, but it's done a lot to show me how f-ed up we are.
Just today on Fox News Oreilly had a big thing comparing America's teen pregnancy and STD rated to Europes, and then comparing America's Abstinence as the only option approach versus Europes Libertine sex-ed approach. We have four times the pregnancy rate as France and 12 times the ghonnorhea rate as Denmark. F-in Amsterdam where prostitution is legal, and there are more STD cases per 100000 here. WTF? Something isn't working.
Same holds true for binge drinking rates at college and underage drinking rates in the US versus alchohol use and abuse in europe. Suprisingly, toleration of alchohol creates a healthier mentality versus abolition (for those under 21). Exact same issue as sex.
The same holds true for Marijuana use/abuse. Not to mention the waste of money the war on Marijuana is.
Software Patents aren't an idealogy problem like these. They are instead a business vs. consumer problem. Yet, the business vs. consumer stance of europe makes so much more sense than America's sell-out policies.
I'm so disappointed in this puritanical corporate-sell out country. ( I know, if you don't like it, leave). Well maybe I will. I'll live where I'm free to code without fear of the DMCA and where I'm free to read without the government looking up my library records and where my children will get education and we'll all get health care and where my neighbor can smoke a J and it's no big deal because it really isn't a big deal and all that drug war money is instead spent to make life better. Imagine a land where you're free to tinker, and where we're brave enough to allow personal choices. Hmm, how ironic, home of the free and the brave. That should be HERE. That should describe America.
And the earth is NOT ROUND. And the SUN revolves around the EARTH, NOT the other way around. And DINOSAURS NEVER LIVED. And to disagree is to be AGAINST GOD. All of you who disagree are devil worshippers and heathens who will BURN in HELL FOREVER.
Good Points. It seems whenever the government gives a monopoly to a company, we get screwed. Also, whenever the government takes over a free market we get screwed.
So, government monopolies are cool, but private ones suck. It's simple to understand. The government operates a monopoly with the mind set of doing this as cheaply as possible, while still being worth doing. Private corporations operate with the mindset of doing this to make as much profit as possible. There is a significant difference - especially if there is no other guy to compete with. In a market, while trying to achieve profits, you're also trying to gain and keep customers. But, once a government who was running a monopoly with the mindset of do this as cheaply as possible gives it's monopoly to a company, they get to run it as "make as much money as possible" and because there isn't any competition, they don't have to worry about keeping customers or playing fair or any of the things competition brings to make a free market the thing we all love so much about capitalism.
In short, it's the WORST of BOTH worlds. They do it cheaply, the charge a lot, and they make business decisions without any regard to thier customer base, in order to maximize profits in an un-natural manner.
In this case, since we can't break up the monopoly, the government of the people needs to take back control of these TLDs. Verisign needs to be FIRED.
The guy credited by most with the invention of the TV remote control is Robert Adler.
Now I've got one, who coined the phrase, "don't touch that dial"?
I think it was RCA, who first sold a remote control. It was a sound-wave or radio signal or something like that. It wasn't an infrared LED.
Wait, no before that there was a remote with the wires still attached. you'd run the wires across the floor of your living room....Scratch all that. It was Zenith....Here read someone elses more accurate history

could it have been an electro magnetic pulse, like in that movie where they break into the vault in the vegas hotel. Only it went a little haywire and gave them more than a 20 second window. That was my first thought. Probably a little imaginative, but it's still always nice to hear someone explain why this isn't the case.
yes, yes, I know with that attitude we'd have to hear people explaining about why it's not aliens, and not due to sun spots and any other thing some wacko can think up. But at least my idea was in a recent movie, so that gives explaining it away some entertainment value.
Or are they not explaining this away for the same reason they haven't explained away the crash over pennsylvania NOT being caused by an ordered shot. I.E., we'd rather not lie to you so we'll just not answer that question.
Anyone missing some money following that blackout?
How far backwards will we have to go before we reform the patent office. I hope this shit continures to happen to giants like MS and... are there any giants left? Oracle, AOLTW, Etc and patent reform actually happens.
What really needs to happen is the guy who patented making a web page to show news, or to update, or to have common areas stay the same needs to sue the MEDIA companies. Then it will be in the news and then it will get changed.
Oh well. We're all gonna die before the world becomes a better place anyway. So fuck it all.
