what you see is the republican party making a last ditch desperate move on something they already lost over a dozen times in order to seem releveant while their entire party is busy eating its own soul from the inside out.
its quite pathetic that they are in such a circle jerk internal struggle to even give the liberal's this much influence
Politicians don't have souls.
easy mistake to make
Unauthorized copying (remember: "Piracy" is that thing done on sea where people get killed) has been around forever, and will be around forever. Consider that a fact.
That is only true for dead languages. Languages that are still in use can change their meaning over time. Are you one of those people that still start a discussion about hacking/cracking? Sure, the media ruined the distinction, but widespread usage rules the dictionary.
it's rather that games needed more dimensions to play than that a superior design came along, though that is of course the case:)
can you imagine playing a nice game of Quake without being able to look up or down?:)
actually, thats bull, as the firmware that routes GSM in the networks is also used for SMS, actually, SMS uses the same channel your mobile uses to announce itself to the base stations and exchanges status information with.
other services like reversed billing were developed later, and you pay for an SMSC because it adds convenience to you, not because you are technically not able to do it yourself... they make the contracts with all the providers, reserve those nice short numbers in all networks and give you a convenient web service or other interface to talk to... and for that you pay.
I too used SMS when it first emerged in Europe for zilch... billing it would have cost them more than just letting you use it in those days, at least so they thought before they saw what ridiculous prices they could charge and get away with. When they finally started billing it was 23 cent for the first 100 messages, and 2.3 cent for every message more... imagine, after it got up to 39 cent for every message... for them it's like printing money.
Surely with the added services they developed ON TOP of SMS, like the afore mentioned reversed billing, premium SMS and so on they have slightly increased their costs for the service itself, but basic SMS started as an accidental byproduct of GSM
Oh, i worked two years in a business that developed and distributed mobile applications, so this is not theoretical stuff.
... more difficult to operate than the-clock-on-your-vcr...
VCR's have picked up time signals from stations for more than ten years (well, in Europe at least), no need to program them (even if someone is still using them:))
The selling of the iPhone locked to one vendor can hardly be called a monopoly... there are other phones and there are other providers, just because that specific combination is not available everywhere doesn't qualify.
That is also the sole reason that the court has ruled in favor of the deal. But there is another case open because T-mob might very well be in violation of their license http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-6219520.html and if Debitel succeeds in this case the iPhone will again be free.
Seeing how police does get their sniffer traffic delivered to them by the ISP's and you are not likely to switch to another one in mid-sentence, i think you are on the wrong track:)
All in all this Bundestrojaner is a stupid idea, either someone doesn't need to hide their online activities and tapping it is no challenge or they need to and know how to do it, meaning they regularly switch computers, change keys for their encryption, scan the computers they use for abnormal behavior and so on... meaning they police is right where they started and still reliant of the time proven methods.
Oh, don't get me wrong, i absolutely abhore "phone home" software. And it seems clear to me that with those other NDA's you are not even allowed to install something that grants unlimited access for a third party to your computer. Problem solved right there
It really is irrelevant if it's other games or your porn collection.
My point stands, if you work with confidential material on your computer you do not use the same computer to play a game. Just skip a beta... unless you get paid for it, in which case i am sure you are not playing it but testing:)
If you get paid for the other beta's... i'm sure you will make a financially sound decision.
As usual people like you focus on stereotyping and thinking just because someone doesn't state the obvious yet again they are ignoring it...
Grats to the mods, +5 for someone that uses his work computer with critical and highly confidential business data to play games online really is insightful...
Sad as it is to the community of IT in general, the media has changed the meaning of the word 'Hacker'. It's time we catch on. It is now synonymous for someone that creates, changes or bastardizes programs to do 'unintended' things.
We need to come up with a new 'leet' name for programmers.
Will it have a "fight" option so i can see which species is strongest?
also, will extinct species be featured? (yeah, could probably find out on the projects site.. but someone slashdotted it:P)
Absolutely no one suggested to cover that area, it was used as a means to visualize the difference in efficiency to that of 2001.
Like afore mentioned, i would rather like to hear if this is measured in orbit or on teh surface of earth.
No one can honestly believe he did all of this alone, there simply is not enough time in the day to farm any MMO for enough virtual goods to make 1.3mill$ from without a sweatshop somewhere. This would make him a frontmen, and not a succesful student making a buck.
And to all those crying 6mill yen ain't 1.3mill$ we know.. no need to tell us 20 times
there isn't that much data on the web that would benefit from being presented in 3d anyways, so there will be no force driving the web forward to use it as a broad medium anyway, look at books.. they have been around ( the concept ) for hundreds of years and no one has come up with a better way to do it yet... eReaders are just the new books, they change naught about presenting the text.
there are also things that benefit greatly from being presented in 3d ofcourse, and coincedently, there already are plugins/viewers for that kind of data readily available as already mentioned somewhere above..
behold, the furture is here... the web in 3d? where it makes sense it already happened.. years ago
I don't know, looks like it can't do much more then grab and hold..
Maybe build it into traps for rats and mice... the hand would grab their balls... and neuter them.
Would that be considered a humane trap? atleast they aren't killed:)
I know people are going to love this... but after much thought I really only know one solid way to get rid of spam. That is by changing the system so spamming doesn't make any economic sense. Yes, what we need is a $0.2 tax on each email sent. As soon as bulk emailing has cost/benefit implications, spam is gone. Then, marketing has to work. The tax money could also be used for something good, like infrastructure development and upkeep.
Yeah, spam would die, as would all the will known and respected mailinglists with hundreds of thousands of users.
I could be dead wrong here, but isn't popularity rated as in 'people that use it'? giving us raw numbers like what it looks like, how many torrents are hosted and how many more it can sponge of the web isn't telling me that... it just tells me how big they are.. relativly speaking
He tells us why it could be popular, not if it is, he fails the headline..
the application of this will most likely not be the one they named, i can imagine that public libraries can use this to track their stock of dvd's and cd's.
RFID comes in flavours, like read-only, so rewriting the tag wouldn't be possible, burning the chips memory with an overdose of energy would kill it however.
