Thinking of hiding behind nicknames like "hottdudeXXX" or "bluemonkey13" or even installing new software to cloak your identity? Think again, says Mr Ishikawa.
"We got an e-mail last week from someone saying 'How did you find me? I used Peer Guardian' and he thought that would save him from our spiders. There is nowhere to hide."
What about P2P networks that encrypt all traffic? How are they going to determine what media you have (based on the 30s that they apparently download from you) when it's all encrypted?
How about when I trading legal copies of music (like SHN/FLAC/etc Grateful Dead shows?) Will these 30s clips match up?
Holy shit, the cause of the most recent earthquake there was from the all the people typing FUND FUND FUND FUND FUND FUND FUND bulldoze FUND and waiting for the earthquakes to settle so that they could afford the solar panels!
ok so these people have a 17% electricity bill drop (from what to what in Japan?) after buying an 1100 sq. ft. home that has solar panels...
How much did having the solar panels on the home add to the price of an already expesive home? How much will the 17% save over the life of the home?
Are electric rates in Japan like they are here? 17% of my last electric bill (mind you, it's the summer and I have the A/C on at least 8 hours a day and a box fan in the bedroom on at least 10 hours a day) is $4.20 (granted my apt. is 720 sq. ft. instead of 1100).
My "quality of life" doesn't go down when I have to answer the phone. Does your quality of life go down when you get 10 phone calls a day from friends?
You hear the familiar Telemarketer pause and you hang up the phone when they pronounce your name wrong or ask for "Mr. or Mrs. Djksaf".
10 seconds out of my life to hang up on the morons is not reducing my "quality of life."
If they were holding me at gun point while I listened to their spiel or I was in some other way forced to listen to them, then I could see you saying that.
Telemarkets don't show up as "ATTENTION, TELEMARKETER" or "TELEMARKETING INC." or some other dead give away.
Frequently they show up as UNAVAILABLE just like 90% of valid businesses. My mother works for a small Funeral Home. They don't show up as "JOE'S FUNERAL HOME" they show up "UNAVAILABLE".
Should I ignore valid business to block telemarketers? No.
If anything, force Telemarketers to show their ID to the box and pay for me having to use it to block them.
because people want to install Linux on their cell phone and ssh from home to check email on their phone that's why.
Nevermind the fact that they can use a PHP interface for their kitchen (via a VNC+SSH tunnel) so that they can get the oven preheating, the dishwasher warming bread plates, and the fridge defrosting the meat for that night.
ipv6 (or a similar technology) will eliminate the demand for IPs (or the demand that ISPs claim there is).
Without demand for IP space there will be no longer a need to charge ridiculous amounts for IP blocks (or even single IPs). Hell, there won't be a need to bundle home routers with Internet service to give NAT capabilities to the home.
Looks like a lot of possible lost revenue. God forbid that happens.
$10 for an extra IP is the average cost for broadband (used to be about $5), most ISPs don't even want to give you a static IP (back in 1995 it cost $30/extra for a static IP on dialup!)
I have something like 1 million+ IPs assigned to me with IPv6 and I am using 10 (for what you ask? for vhosts because that's all IPv6 is useful for).
Would I be using more than the 1 IP I am "dynamically" assigned if it wasn't "free"? No.
I may be stepping out on a limb saying something like this on/. but here goes...
You are enjoying the beautiful views from a mountain top at 3000m, enjoying the outdoors, hiking (one of my favorite activities), and being away from it all.
Yet you had to login to your server at home from your fucking cell phone?
Man, I bring my cell phone with me but I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER use it to login, surf the web, check email, do whatever, while out enjoying what nature has given us.
Yay, let's be 100% connected all the time. The Matrix owns you.
Kazaa use is declining? Funny, I just logged on the other night for my daily dose of pornage and found that there were nearly 7TB's of files available. Last time I checked it was in the low 6TB range...
Some people have gotten a clue and moved to other methods (like BT) for getting their TV episodes, porn, music, etc. BT speeds are BLAZING fast compared to most of Kazaa (not for music, for movies, etc). I average about 100kB/s for most songs on Kazaa, I can download entire albums from BT at 200kB/s+
If only the police had to patrol a single building and had easy access to view, store, and sort all the license plates and/or drivers license's that they saw while people robbed this single location.
I was just about to say how easy we are making it for the RIAA to catch us and then I realized that would make us criminals... Oh wait.
man, those poor guys thought that if they stopped stroking their penis ties in front of the water cooler they wouldn't have a chance at blindness. Boy were they wrong!
First off, I heard this on the radio this morning,/. you are disappointing me (I also heard about the terrorism betting).
Second, management in general needs to relax. Hopefully the tightness around their necks causes glaucoma and because there are entirely too many managers out there, this will force the legalization of medical marijuana and and end to the pressure of glaucoma!:)
Currently people create things (for the most part) to make a profit. If there is nothing to protect those profits (copyrights, patents, etc), what motivation is there to create something?
Where will the money needed to fund the economy come from? Taxation on the purchase on materials needed to use the replicator?
obviously, if you read the article, you would have found that he did it just to see what it would take. He also believes that Linux offers a lot more in firewalling, NAT, etc, than a typical Linksys home networking AP does (and I agree).
Why this is news for nerds, stuff that matters, I will never know...
I found the article basically pointless and nothing more than what anyone who would be likely to try a project like this already knows..
I think that the reason that there is the availability of movies and music (in the sheer volume that there is) is because of the availability of Broadband.
if anything, mp3s and movies came about because of the broadband explosion, not the other way around.
no, the reason that most people have broadband is the simple fact that they don't want to wait for dialup to connect, they don't want to tie up the phone line, and they don't want to wait for their Flash enabled webpages to load.
My father uses DSL because his online banking page took too long to load with dialup.
no it won't. They are going to claim that the service costs that much. A typical DSL connection is 768k (which is a little over half of a T1).
They share the T1 between many connections at the DSLAM (usually a rack, but I have been told that they like to sometimes share two racks per T1).
So, the DSL line prices are going to either remain the same, or go down only when they share more DSL lines between T1 (thus effectively cutting your possible bandwith down -- depending on the other DSL users on your rack).
Every DSL ISP I have ever used sells you ISP service and deals w/the telco themselves to buy you the DSL line. You pay whatever DSL line price the telco offers and you pay whatever the ISP charges for it's Internet services.
Usually in the range of $15.95/mo for the ISP, and $40/mo for the line. I have used a freenet in the past and paid about $8.50 for the ISP and $40 for the 768/128 line.
Most people don't know what a this type of cookie is, could care what this type of cookie is, and don't want to know how to disable this type of cookie.
What disturbs me the most is that you people are supporting cookies when you are all privacy freaks.
Not everyone has Konq or whatever other browser lets you block the cookies that you don't want and accept others. Not eveyone wants to download a third party application to do that either.
They want to surf the web, safely, without people storing information about them forever. Granted, most people would prefer that a website remembers them on their next visit, but I think for the general public, if they understood what a cookie does they might be more wary of it. Hell, I deal with 50+ people a day that don't want to fax their CC number to me, you think that they want their person information stored on a webserver tha is easily hacked?
the original commenter was wrong. It's the person that owns the account. Of course the person who's name is on the account is liable for whatever is done with that account.

Fines are usually in the $150 range for speeding (which could possibly kill someone).
Fines for downloading music are $750 to $150k PER OFFENSE.

Hey, that's absolutely wonderful for YOU. For it to be forced upon me as another way to bring up morale and productivity in the workplace?
Swimming, hiking, camping, and listening to music are my ways to relieve stress and bring up my productivity.
I hate sitting in one place basically doing nothing for more than 5 mins.
I wish management would learn that people are individuals and need to be treated as such. Blanket policy always pisses someone off.
Remember that.
