I don't like Verizon all too much but I like that they're defending our rights.
If the RIAA gets this win they will become a completely hostile, big brother like entity. The DMCA is unconstitutional and I hope this case gets taken all the way up the ladder to the Supreme Court and that the RIAA gets it dick slapped.
I don't think Ballmer had his facts right on that one. A year ago there were no 200 GB IDE hard drives. Now there is and I can get one under $200. A year ago a 2 GHz processor was quite a pretty penny. Now, the prices are making them quite affordable. A sub $1,000 powerhouse PC can be built today but to use Microsoft products on it increases the price to about $1500.
Very interesting question with a "don't look there" answer from Mr. Ballmer. Typical.
I've been using their Cisco guide for a few years now. It's updated quite often and is at least a good read for those looking into double checking their IT security.
Let's say these "bunker buster" probes are fired, hit the surface of the moon, and shatter. What then? Or what happens when they don't penetrate? Hell, they might penetrate so well that this entire experiment becomes like the lost sopository scene in "Trainspotting".
Why are they looking for water up there any way. We all know it's nothing but cheese.
With the advance of Serial ATA and IDE drive prices coming down like a brick dropped from atop the Empire State building this is a very easily done, cheaper alternative for small businesses as well.
The rest of us is everyone. If a federal law is brought up to Congress (which would be the next step in this wonderful process of consumer bending over, after the proposed state laws). The US government, unless excluded, would have to reengineer everything under the sun regarding its current network topologies. The federal government is its own ISP in a sense but isn't in another sense just depends how you look at that glass of water.
The US government is entirely too dependant on NATs and VPNs as it is. Just about every federal or military network utilizes NAT or has a VPN on it or allowing remote access to it. Laws of this nature will not pass if intelligent people object to them intelligently.
Now, ISPs can (even still) make up their own rules regarding NATs and search for them as they'd like. Who is to say that most ISPs don't already know who is using NAT and who isn't? Chances are that if a network admins that have access to a tool that allows him to actually see their entire network, they're using it.
I always thought the "clean needle" approach of drug abusers was to stop the spread of infectious diseases like HIV. Not to actually get them to stop using drugs.
Writing in better (more secure) languages and using better toolkits should be done regardless of what hackers are or aren't doing. This should be the standard, not a means to abolish penalties for breaking the law.
Furthermore, hackers are criminals (in most instances). Using a technique (that should already be used) to prevent them from hacking still doesn't mean hackers will disappear. It means they'll have to try harder and be much better at what they do.
Hackers will always exsist, it's a foregone conclusion. Making it more difficult for them protects you. It doesn't protect everyone. The best protection against a criminal is either to lock them up in prison or the myriad of other (more lethal) alternatives.
I don't dislike hackers. But the "clean needle" approach to crime doesn't exsist.
Hmm... why does Microsoft continue to make relatively minor updates "major" version changes? Didn't they learn their lesson with Windows ME?
It makes money but really drives people who are tired of playing their silly game.
Well she happens to enjoy DVDs. I happen to not enjoy her DVDs. Same for music (although I'll tolerate listening to the same song over and over again if need be). Plus, she doesn't have an XBox or PS2 (there is a lot of future planning being built in to this project).
The over the top entertainment system I'm building is actually going to cost less than a mediocre entertainment system.
Thanks for your opinion.
Mine differs however. She is doing all the things two year olds are supposed to be doing but she is also showing interests in music and computers.
So instead of dumping money into a stereo and a computer I'm going to spend money on a computer and have it do everything that I want it to do.
She already has a 20" TV with built in DVD and VCR. It's just evolution man. I want her TV in my room too (so that's the main motivating factor). Plus, it's actually cheaper than buying her a stereo, DVD player, VCR, TV, PS2, XBox, etc. and it'll be upgradable.
I'm actually going to use PVR on a box I'm working on for my 2 year old daughter.
I'm going to custom build a Media Center PC using Linux but it's going to be tricky because my two year old will have to learn how to operate it.
It's requirements will be more than just watching TV but PVR is actually one of its primary requirements. Music, DVDs, etc. are some other requirements.
Yea. If you help Grub, Grub gives your web site a preferencial listing. Building the biggest search engine, sure. Building good search results, not so sure.

Well. If Chewbacca is back then where will Han Solo fit in?
Even without the DMCA you're still protected under all the other copyright laws.
I always knew that charge was bullshit. Now I know exactly why it's there. It needs to go.

A month after I buy a new camcorder this happens. I'm glad they decided to stick with the tried and true MiniDV tapes.
Slashdot for Marriages is what their scoring system sounds like to me.
Hmm... this sounds SOOOO familiar.

Well "they can tell" probably isn't a new thing. I can see through NATs with PHP and use it on feedback forms, so this probably isn't really too new.
But, if you can tell, what or why would you want to know? That seems like a better question.

That's nice. You go there often?

The power gained by harnessing vibrations must exceed the power used to cause the vibrations. If it doesn't this is worthless in most respects.
It's about time someone brought this aspect of the first GTA back. Now all these bored college students will have another game to play.
That's not a very good representation. Google has been going through its deep crawl the past 6 days.
