How can they hide behind a shield of common carrier with one hand and then start scanning content with the other?
Its not just liability for hosted content, but downloaded content as well. If they want to stop us downloading illicit music, they should prevent us from downloading ALL illegal material as well or else face the wrath of the parents.
I believe the throttling occurs if you download "a lot" during the normal daytime hours.
I have noticed late evenings that my speeds are occasionally down to 60-80kb/s on specific files with hours to go, then after midnight they speed back up and are completed minutes after.
However I haven't been getting much recently (playing a great game called 'Linux' for my n810 is better) so it may be that I am just staying under a cap.
I do not think there is anything that can be done from within Virgin to block phorm unless we start encrypting traffic and using a server out of the country.
Apparantly they have a list of sites which they will not monitor and won't touch any encrypted pages but the whole thing is just bullshit.
The other alternative is choose an ISP which has stated they won't use these kind of tactics (but I cannot remember which specifically said they would not track - read more on theregister to find out).
You can set an opt-out cookie on your computer which is meant to disable the processing of your web history and to tell the advert server at the far end that you do not want personal adverts. However this does not stop them still being sat in the middle and every page I open is still given to a spyware firm who have given a vague promise that they will not use my data for advertising if I opt out.
It also does not help with multiple computers or browser configurations each with or without their own cookie handling. Aren't we meant to clean down our cookies etc on a regular basis, is there such a thing as a permanent cookie?
I have Virgin media for my internet and they are also involved in this phorm tracking and I am pissed off about it.
How do you log into your computer the day after you sprain your wrist or get a new keyboard or are laid back or have a drink in hand or are scratching your chin or.....
So instead I returned an empty box to the seller, and threw the non-operational camera into the dumpster. I got a refund from Visa because the empty box showed "delivered".
There is a difference between public knowledge of an instruction set and Intel actually granting a license to use their design. It is known that even if nvidia purchased AMD then the x86 chip cross license agreement that AMD carries is none transferable and could not be used in GPU devices. This leaves only Via with a 10 year license to Intel designs. The terms of that are a little more clouded, but I would hazard it would also be none transferable.
nvidia have their own license to Intel products at the moment, however this does not include the x86 itself.
Intel and Microsoft are still in bed with each other. the more things change, the more they stay the same.
It says nvidia will be locked out because DirectX11 raytracing will be based on x86. Wasn't DirectX meant to be a generic middleman to allow developers to abstract away from the specific implementations?
Isn't this a backwards step that basically cuts anyone developing for it out of using the code on other systems (and I am meaning even the xbox 360).
If you can break the encryption by looking at the code, then they are doing it wrong. The formula is not important and a good encryption algorithm should be free.
The key used is the protected part and should not be a part of the source code.
I doubt anyone would be interested in your single account. Those who are of interest are hardly going to let a real impersonator access things.
The manager of the bank nearby was followed home and his family were held hostage whilst he was sent to open the bank up. Scary to think these things happen in your community.
Its more likely that the XP drivers use the raw unprotected path and the media overlords cannot disable it in the same way they can everything else. God forbit that music might be heard without jumping through DRM hoops.
From what I just read he was restoring XP functionality which (I assume) would break the protected path and lead to Creative themselves getting in the shit for it. But its just corporate bullshit, I would have personally hired him in a big fanfare and gotten good publicity.

to get you hooked, the first post is free.
Though now I am setting myself up to fail this one..

No, no record.

There are more but this has some sort of evidence..
You are a bit late.
Linux skipped the desktop and went directly to the laptop and smaller.
"The thinking in the field is that there is a scale along which people, even those considered to be 'normal', can be placed on," said Dr Charlton.
Well, Dr Charlton is a bright spark isn't he.
I prefer to call it Windows Fistula.
Its an orifice that contains a stinking pile of crap.

isn't that fraud?
Since the property was in your name, did you go and investigate it and end up selling it?
Was it in your town?
Was it in another country?
Please do tell more because I am intruiged as to how you technoically have a new house but haven't been able to do anything about it.
Why do you have to boot it?
Don't a lot of USB sticks have u3?
u3 installs a device driver on Windows and creates a fake cd rom so that the memory stick can autorun.
Fuck waiting for the autorun, its the device driver I would be worried about.
Actually, I would put it another way:
I have 2 main sources to listen to the same music:
I can download it.
I can listen on the radio.
Both of these have the same result: brand recognition and advertising for the band.
When that band comes on a concert tour I will gladly shell out £100-200 for a decent pair of tickets and a night out.
i tend to agree.
I got a pleasant shock this morning.
I can finally see the indenting, and I like this inline commenting.
OK, I'm finished designing it.
Where should I put the spreadsheet for you?
If your scrote spins round like that I believe it is time to see a doctor.
I agree, but if you saw the reply to another poster, it may not be possible.

Well, we use most silicon to display boobs, might as well repay the favour :)
Overclocking might be fun as well: "Hey, I managed a stable DD at room temperature!"
First they came for my mp3s, but I did not download those, so I did nothing.

Then they came for my tv shows, but I did not download those, so I did nothing.
Then they came for my porn and I was sunk
