I think the important factor is management. The anticheat programs are good, and I've seen lots of benefits from them, but they are part of a management tool. The admins still have to watch the server and take care of the system. Then it becomes a secure and fun server.
Is that they stay within their boundry of control. I'm not really concerned with prosecution over the mp3s with Canadian-bound ownership which I don't have.
Really it's not. As long as it still directs you to the original page; I don't see it as a large problem. Besides, most techies I know go into any new device they get and spend half the day breaking it and tuning it to their custom desires. How would you not notice that and look it up or just disable it on principle?
This is something I would apreciate. I've replaced cell phones from the same manufacturer and even then had to replace accessories. I think we'll need to see more big players like Samsung and Motorola jump on this, but this is something that is good for cell phone companies and users.
The media is run by politicians which are in turn paid off by groups like the RIAA. A large news organization like the BBC is undoubtedly pushing to have people fear the RIAA and roll over for them. I don't see, though, how they(news groups, not the BBC specifically) get interviews with people and believe theyre so damn smart. Talking about being unable to hide. Pfft, just because most kazaa users are 14 year olds downloading the new ICP or Britney Spears doesn't mean that these detectives of P2P sharing are any good... Damn over-hyping media.
Why not just use RM-X? This guy will have it working with all the devices in your house before these slow ass corporate companies will. Right now it's mainly focused on Winamp, but he's going to have it work with everything. I hear he's working on implementations of it in controlling a in-house automatic irrigation system, as well as a security system. He's also going to open source it. The way I see it, how can you do any better? This corporate attempt will just take years and still have an expensive system full of bugs that will never get fixed.
This is why physical security is important. It's alot easier to get into your system while inside your firewalls to the internet. Having a key card isn't all too expensive. It's not the most secure, but it carries a fairly good price vs security bonus value. If your company had millions of dollars to burn sure everyone could get a fingerprint/voice/whatever scanner on the doors and for each computer/office room, but the point is, if you do have to deal with a Windows network, at least try to get some physical limitations to people just walking in and using your own local computers to hack into your server, or hell, physical access to the server itself.
If only that were true... that's actually a problem I'm surprised you don't expect. Hiring idiots to do a professional's job is nothing new. And even if he/she screws up a couple times, the cost is less overall than paying a sysadmin salary.
You're missing the point. It's them saying "hey look we tried to tell you" so when they bust down Bobby Pirate's door and confiscate his copies of the new Britney Spears movie he was selling to the elementary kids he can't act so damn ignorant. I think it's really just about making piracy a blatantly public issue (as if it already wasn't) so that they can further validate the ever-rising cost of movie tickets. Two years from now it will cost more to see a movie in theatres than it will to own the special edition, gold lace, bells and whistles DVD.
Rearrange your cubicle or your network room. Lifting 19" monitors and full tower cases, not to mention pushing around server racks, you'll be a stick-boy again in no time. That and ramen, lots of ramen.

The horse is dead, so everyone put the bats down. Please? No, don't pick up the "GOLD" bat...

canadians being pushovers.

The quote was still supposed to be 640k you guys. And though I doubt Gates said it, it really doesn't matter.

Maybe they should hire someone for tech support. Seems their server's not doing so well.

..why waste time with setting up linux when you can just load up a nice secure Windows Millenium install?
