I am sorry you suffer from the "going to die a virgin" mentality, which results in you getting confused about the different group mentalities. I will attempt to enlighten you...so read carefully! Maybe if you understand this, or catch the drips of sarcasm, you will one day find a mate, with whom to share a private moment with. Although from your post, it looks to be quite a low probability.
Please do not blame the college kids. Sure they have faster internet than you. Sure they have youthful good looks. Sure *some* drink underage "on campus". Sure they have uninhibited relationships with the opposite sex. But really you have the wrong group targetted here.
The college mentality is learning, not swapping (yes, we do learn to spell, your post should have been "swapping their shit" not "swaping theirs shit"). You must have missed out on the college portion of life.
I think the mentality you are looking for is the "highschool mentality". Those are the true troublemakers, rebellious young teens, stealing music (as proven as the RIAA vs. 12 year old girl (i am sure she was trying to get into the "in" crowd with the 13 year olds)).
Those damned teenagers are the ones who drink underage, us college kids are mainly of age.
So, in the future, please blame the correct group, the highschool kids. Kids are starting young these days with their illegal acts, such as "swaping theirs shit", and from the undergrad research I have done, this is just a stepping stone into the depths of crime.
Enjoy your day with your personal computer good sir, but please get outside and enjoy the weather, keeping a watchful eye on those highschool kids. A letter of appology to every college and university would be the appropriate action for you, and may I suggest "spell check".
If today be not talk-like-a-pirate day, all ye lads and lasses best be -100 Offtopic ye parent post.
But shiver me timbers! Today be talk-like-a-pirate day, it be!
Mod +1000 Pirate!
And ye RIAA shall not slither y'ar greasy tentacles into me treasure! And keep ye hands off me lasses! Corporate whores!
Due to the enormous number of file sharers, you have a certain anonymous factor, even if they can try to obtain your IP. People will not stop trading music, they will just change the way they do it, if it becomes too "risky" under current conditions.
When you can download unlimited numbers of songs, from so many sources, with almost ALL of music history being found somewhere, it is impossible to go back to paying 20$ for 3 good songs on an album. People will still buy the classics, because they want the little extra quality, etc.
It is basically a natural progression...as technology advances, music is moving with it...and now instead of listening to your favorite music station, people download their favorite new songs.
Before you start complaining too much about people downloading music illegally, consider where the money from CD purchases is going, the majority of which is going to the record companies, not even the artist anyways.
If I have a warning in my store "danger, knives" it does not mean I can throw knives at people that enter my store, with no reprocussions.
Gross negligence is what they will be looking at. Not the warning, or the age of the kids. If Rockstar had gross negligence in producing a video game which promotes violence for children, they could still be liable.
On a side note, this is bullshit. Can rockstar sue some of the original first person shooters for influencing them to make the new games? Can rockstar sue car thiefs? Can rockstar sue the parents for THEIR gross negligence in allowing their children to play the game without parental supervision/and for ignorning the advisory?
Basically...there is not direct connection between playing video games and actually commiting crimes (as shown in previous similar lawsuits). So nothing will come of this lawsuit except annoying court procedings and tying up the courts.
I am sure you are the 0day king of your little group, but how the hell does your comment relate to nmap?
MOST exploiting is done with publicly known exploits.
Already, most new non-publicly known exploits have specific scanners (or you make one) for vulnerable machines. The new nmap version detection will not make anyone more vulnerable to the 0day exploits.
If you plan your network security through obscurity...thats asking for trouble.
If you hope nobody can hack you or cause any problems with your servers because you assume they dont know what you are running...that is a problem.
How about being accountable, upgrading and securing your system, instead of being alarmed that "suddenly" (like they couldnt before) people can see specifically what you are running.
Hats off to nmap...first matrix reloaded, now a drastic improvement! Who knows, matrix revolutions may be sporting a new nmap!
The best way to counteract a fat monopoly like those microsoft whores is to put some good ol competition out there against them. Its tough to match those budgets and large scale operations, but more and more companies are fighting them from more and more directions...it can only lead to good things --- better products being produced by everyone.
They arent entirely part of the problem. I think this report lacks some valuable data and misses a key point.
What about all the emails these virus detectors PREVENT by warning the user about the potential virii in the emails.
Remember, the average user isnt that smart. We dont want to prevent them from getting their mail. We do want to warn them. Not only this, the warning emails are likely just local anyways, so this isnt going to be too bad of a traffic increase.
If everyone used even the worst email virus detection software, most of these worms would be stopped much quicker.
Most worms that are using a lot of bandwidth are not email based, and scanning for other vulnerable machines.
"Washington state's tough anti-spam law, which says each spam can cost the sender $500."
Come on clicking delete isnt that expensive.
How can you prove the damages are $500 per email. That seems a little outrageous. The bandwidth doent cost more than a penny. The time is at most a second that you use to delete it. So what are the damages for? Anyone have a link/answer?
Dear Fellow Slashdotter,
Thank you for your sound advice and reasoning. This Slashdotter will no longer use his/her own knowledge on particular matters to form an opinion, nor morals or experience. He/she will also cease to attempt to represent the average first world citizen with access to luxuries (which is far less than six billion people) with his/her knowledge/morals/experience as well.
However he/she shall continue his/her career in programming until a suitable replacement job is found by DeltaSigma ("You"). The replacement job must be of the same wage, enjoyment and satisfaction, as well as be at the same location with the same people at the same desk with the same computer doing the same thing.
Sure, Joe Shmoe (haha it was funny on spike tv...but the guy looks handicapped so you feel guilty for laughing at him) anyways Joe Blow downloads some obscure song and buys the album...and it increases sales
But 100 other people download albums and burn them instead of buying the CD. It is quicker for me to download and burn an album then to go to the store...and cheaper...so there isnt even much of a reason NOT to (aside from morals...but we all lost those a long time ago).
Lucky I am Canadian...and pay that fee with my blank cds thats lets me more legally do that.
The recording industry is losing a TON, just based on common sense and my personal practices, as well as those I know. "Dont buy that cd! I have it! I will burn you a copy in 30 seconds!"
So, lets still feel a bit guilty, like laughing at the handicapped looking Joe Schmoe...but not guilty enough to stop doing it.
But this is some interesting news for those of us who dont have an actual microscope. Finding a new use for existing common technology. You can find the speed of light lots of ways, but with marshmellows and a microwave works, and lots of students already have those.
Sure, it wont be as accurate as other methods, just as this "microscoping" wont have as great as magnification, but it could let some kids have some fun. Hopefully more technology is geared towards child learning and schooling!
Am I the only one that read the email I got like you?
The case is just starting, and Register OFFERED a settlement. The settlement hearing is happening this month, blah blah.
Where does it say anyone won OR took the settlement?
Register could lose a TON if they lose the lawsuit...think of all the "lost sales" everyone would be claiming from their websites for a minimum of a few days
"The most critical mistake: designing a spaceship to fly horizontally like an airplane but launching it vertically like a rocket. That one decision saved $5 billion in the 1970s but led directly to the loss of both the Challenger and Columbia. "
I agree with you, and the experts, why the hell does a spaceship need wings?
Launch the damn thing with a rocket, and once its space its ideal to have a capsule, not a shuttle.(which cant get above low orbit anyways).
Lets advance the space program instead of exploiting it for commercial satellites.
What happened to the lust for exploration? Lets go to Mars. There is a need for a president with ambition that will set a goal like that.

Ya, it could have to do with data security and not network security. Although I could think of better ways to solve this!
Please shut up.

Microsoft needs more competition!
The best way to counteract a fat monopoly like those microsoft whores is to put some good ol competition out there against them. Its tough to match those budgets and large scale operations, but more and more companies are fighting them from more and more directions...it can only lead to good things --- better products being produced by everyone.
Either that or more marketing.
Basically like a cache
Which you would have a hard time patenting.

Wrong Dvorak.
:P
But lets see how this one turns out. Clothing is getting more revealing, and at the same time we want to incorporate technology into it?
Fit an ipod in a gstring if you expect anyone to be wearing it by 2013
Cuz thats all girls will be wearing! If that!
the RIAA will eat you!
First you buy the music then you want to listen to it!
2000 cds * 15 songs * $500 per song...you will be poor!
which prof?
i took it last term...
can they just post that on their index.html?
along with a lot of rants and nonsense and flames?
and complaints like this one to a free service? hehehe.

I read that as telling ben affleck not to talk like a pirate.
Maybe because Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming up!!!
Arrrr d'er is a mighty fire 'n my belly for downloading dat goobly goop!
Seriously now, they lose a lot too.

I would just sit in a wheelchair and pretend not to be able to move my arms
And get everyone to do everything for me
Otherwise id touch like 500 computers a day. And that would suck to lose the 250,000 bail.
LMAO
errr......LAME-O
errr......
Free LMAO stickers would go well. Same theme as kevin's of course
Yes, they could

Not as much as libraries!
Those places offer books for FREE! you dont even need to pay for the bandwidth!
I hope that "some 'coalition' (like the RIAA) is going to step in and scream 'No more downloads!' when it comes to " libraries.
After all...its not a free country or anything.
I sure dont want those new technology-based kids READING BOOKS...they may turn out to be not ignorant.
Why not put as many books online as possible and offer them for free.
