this is the second or third article about apple putting said info into their music files over the years. It isn't surprising. Apple even states it somewhere in the fine print of the EULA's.
Slashdot suffers from ADD and forgets what it duped yesterday.
French extradition has been mentioned several times in NY over the past 15 years. Each time they fought it vigorously. The most notable was a guy who killed an abortion doctor and hid in france for 7 years illegally. They didn't even want to deport him because they assumed because texas puts people on death row every day, that so does NY who hadn't had anyone on Death row in decades. Governments only see extremes and not more reasonable policies.
so not only was he in france illegally, but admitted to killing the doctor and France still didn't want to extradite him. It took two years to bring him to the USA. His trail last a couple of weeks and he was sent to jail for murder for 20 odd years.
computers and botnets operate at near light speed compared to the glacier that is governments.
portable EMP systems are a ways off. while with luck portable power cells(ultra capacitors, and large portable generators) are almost here, there is yet to be a way to actually generate an EMP effectively over more than a few feet without a nuke.
we can currently build an RC helicopter than can fly lout of your hand fly around and land on your hand.(depending on the skill of the pilot)
The smallest object I have seen fly with propeller for forward speed and radio controls for direction came in at a whopping 10 sheets of paper in weight.
up until it crosses national borders then yes it does. But if the guy running the show is in a country without extradition then it is useless. Warrants assume everyone is following similar laws and there is an agency that can police all affected areas equally.
however If an American warrant was being served against a French botnet controller, even with a treaty they still would let him stay free if he didn't harm any french computer users.
Governments are like children, no one else can play in their sandbox, or with their toys.
At the time this mess started SCO's Unix was losing 50% of it's value every two years. When dark started it was worth maybe 6million. It should be worth about a million however it is so far out of date that it doesn't support current tech. The only use it has is legacy support and even that is rapidly shrinking. It has been years since any kind of real update has taken place. Most of it has been FOSS package updates.
My only hope is that they make dark pay back every dollar he earned as SCO CEO.
your forgetting the problem. The core products are what has been sued over. Darl can't sell them and continue the lawsuit as they wouldn't be the owners of the products anymore.
Not only is this proposal nearly two weeks late(it was due Dec. 31) This destroys the company and any potential assets creditors may have access to recoup their losses. Only a naive bankruptcy judge would allow the only asset a company has to be sold for literally nothing.
What's worse is that those products are only worth maybe 5 million at book value, and worth much less than a million in in their current neglected state. You can't pay lawyers making $500 an hour very long on that kind of money. especially how Boise seems to charge SCO for every staple used.
Cars aren't getting faster. More efficient but the every day car doesn't go a lot faster now than 20 years ago. It does so on better mileage, but that can be attributed to weight loss.
As another poster was pointing out USB can spike your CPU when doing large file transfers, at high data rates. why not use the slightly more expensive firewire for drives, as you can transfer files faster with less CPU So you can do more than one thing at a time? It is my biggest concern with USB 3.0 how will a notebook CPU handle the processor requirements if it is anything like USB 2.0 only faster.
um if not everyone needs firewqire level performance why does USB try getting faster. why not simply use firewire for drives, and USB for simple things like keyboards, mice and monitors?
If only vista was strong enough to suck a bowling ball through a straw. At least it would be good for something. It currently struggles to suck air through a straw.
It sounds like ISP's should start their own ipv4 to ipv6tunnels and feed their customers a ipv6 address. They then become a giant nat that can open up the tunnel as more companies go ipv6
That is actually what I do. When possible I switch to a summary bill, so it is a small envelope, and use that as a reminder to pay my bill. I pay them all online. I should probably download my statements However i am still trying to figure out why would verizon and the IRS. if your using your personal cell phone for some business then you should be making better records anyway for that business.
If your not, what else are you forgetting that the IRS will ream you apart for?
The problem with auto filling is that you don't have the numbers when you use a different app.
My ISP recently did a major shift and required people who wanted their personal homepages moved to login with the email address and password assigned to them by the ISP.
by using auto logins I didn't have a clue as to what it was anymore. and had to go through a lengthy procedure to reset that password before I could even begin the process of trying to transfer.
Auto logins are worse than password managers as you forget far to easily what you actually need to know.
If your waiting for DVD's wait another week and you can get PPV in demand movies. Cost is similar to that of most rentals and you don't have to get up off of the couch.
Actually there is data to make a living but all your doing is buying up other people doing real work and hoping that they continue to do real work and do it well. if they make a mistake you punish them.
most people don't hold on to investments for more than a few years. Including warren buffet. It is something I would love to know how much of all his stocks combined are more than ten years old? you might be surprised at how small the number is. In order to survive and diversify his portfolio he had to buy and sell, so at any one time he probably didn't hold onto any one share for more than a few years at a time.
Today lets say he owns 500,00 shares of IBM. but his original investment was only 20,000 shares. In the time he has owned it he has bought and sold 3 million shares. This is because you don't make any money but letting it sit there, you have to sell it to someone else first.
you do realize the majority of NASA commanders and pilots are military personnel right?
While Nasa is civilian missions have to be approved and cleared by the airforce before launch. NASA is a way for the airforce to get even more money for R&D out of the government while making it look good.
I agree with 98% of what you say except for buying on rumors. The stock market is nothing but rumors and speculation. The reason Gas prices went to four dollars? wasn't because production was hit, or refineries went down, but because of rumors and speculation.
It will do so again and again. At the moment not so much when things are going good again rumors will be the only thing of true value in the stock market. Without buying on Rumor there is no stock market. people don't invest in companies and leaders like you think they invest in rumors that they will make money for doing nothing.
Thank you for pointing out the obivous for him. Living in Upstate NY I have seen all kinds of slush. Never once have I seen slush that gives way while sliding on it. I have seen patches where it Is thinner but by that time there isn't enough space to stop.
The GP should realize that he was driving at an unsafe speed in slippery weather. If he new the area the he should have known the hill and turn was there. If he was unfamiliar then he shouldn't be driving so fast in slush to begin with.
That being siad I am still getting used to front wheel drive with ABS, as my last vehicle was rear wheel drive without. There are noticable handling differences.

um it doesn't exist. just because it is on TV doesn't make it real. try coming out of your parents basement every once in a while.

I don't want them out of money. i want them buried for fraud.
out of money means they still stood a chance at being rate. They don't win but they don't lose either.

two points.

Isn't it called cloud because it is the ultimate in vaporware?

I do both. I use an encrypted volume to store an encrypted database which has the passwords in it.
However the bulk of my passwords are meanlingless to everyone but are combinations of numbers and words that make sense if viewed from my life.
Bestbuy doesn't ask for your address during returns/exchanges at least they didn't for me yesterday.
Of course I avoid membership cards like the plagued that they are
