Pirates usually carry dangerous weapsons, they board ships in open sea, kill/rape the people aboard and steal from them. This is hardly comparable to the ilegal copying and sharing of data.
It's like saying that a kid who stole a candy bar was a murderer.
I think the long time recording of everything will bring about a better understand of each other. I stick by all the posts I've ever made, some may have been incorrect or my opinion may have changed since I wrote them, but I stick by the fact that for that time in my life they were correct for me.
With everbodys posts stored forever, everybody is going to have lots of posts that could be seen as bad by potental employers, partners etc. but because this will be something that effects everybody it won't be a problem.
and if a employer didn't hire you because they didn't like that photo of you out drinking with your friends, then you probably don't want to work there anyway.
Why does it require two copies of Windows? Seriously strange. I thought Window was a multi-user operating system now?
As an invention it really isn't. putting two users on one monitor is silly, unless you have a big monitor in which case you may as well buy two smaller monitors to save money.
It's hardly a joke. When people refer to thing incorrectly they create an amount of confusion. This confusion requires clarification, that is extra effort and I'm a lazy person who likes things to be efficient.
The Internet is not the World Wide Web. The web runs on only 1 or >65000 ports for internet services.
I didn't even know there were internet pages. I'll have to get one of these 'internet browsers' and have a look at them. Coud anyone tell me where I can get an internet browser?
Monitors really aren't that expensive and due to space constraints around the monitor you'd have to get big monitors so the users could sit back far enought not to get in each other's way. This is hardly different from running a linux box with two users on two different monitors. But I'm sure microsoft will patent the idea and nobody will actually use it.
I know a large number of full time musicians. They make their money actually playing live music. They don't drive BMWs but they do make a good living. The people making the most money out of music are the record companies that are basically the distributer, so bittorrent is great replacement for record companies.
If your site isn't coming up in google the keywords you want and it's losing you $500,000 then you should probably buy some ads from google to get yourself back in there. It's sort of an obvious solution.
The internet is a computer network linking together smaller computer networks owned by many different companies and individuals.
The problem the OP is having is that they are trying to come up with a defination without requiring that person being told the definition actually learn anything. 'A series of tubes' is a great way of describing the internet as plumbing, but it requires that the person have an understanding of plumbing anyway.
Most people who have access to the internet have an idea what a computer network is, as they have one in their office.
Quite confusing. Only if you eat 800 volts of fish on the way.
please note: If you state measure in incorrect units for the type of measurement you will create great confusion. Weight is measured in Newtons and Mass doesn't change no matter what planet you are living on.
Copyright infringement would be the distributing of a work that you aren't authorised to distribute. Having the data on your harddrive doesn't prove that you were distributing it.
The only way to prove that your were distributing it would be to catch you while you are distributing it.
The retrieval form is bloody tough for any regular developer to sit and verify whether or not what he just developed is actually patent free or not!
It's actually pretty easy. Any software you make is covered by some patent.
You can only hope that you don't have enough money for someone to notice or that you can find prior art for everything your software does.
You still couldn't sue microsoft. Microsoft would say it was the responability of the administrators of the systems that are DOS'ing you and they are right.
No car company in the world has been able to sell a car that prevents me from driving like an idiot and killing people even though it's obvious that this is a hazard.
The current way in which credit cards number are used is just broken. I find it amazing that it hasn't been fixed yet. Requiring that to make a purchase you have to give a shop all the information they require to make additional purchases on your behalf is just stupid. The solution is simple, public/private key cryptography. eg. http://jesstaa.blogspot.com/2006/06/credit-cards.h tml
1. Go to any video on http://video.google.com/ 2. Click on the 'Email - Blog - Post to myspace' button in the frame on the right(it's a big blue button, you can't miss it.) 3. Just under it you will now see 'Post to: myspace - blogger - live journal - typepad' 4. Click myspace.
I saw this recently at Google Video. You click the 'add to myspace' button and google video asks for your myspace username and password so that it can login and add the video. I lol'd pretty hard at the idea that people would actually do that. But I see it is pretty common.
Who needs security when nobody actually cares enough about their data to protect it. I'm imagining a future of malware infested web applications. fun fun fun!!!
Every piece of hardware will be outdated in 6months. So you can either never buy computer hardware because of worrying about it being outdated or just buy the hardware that you actually need.
Everything that is old is new again. We already solved the interprocess communication issue. But now that our processes are being run on many different machines, by many different companies, all of which don't conform to any kind of standard, and the user has no control, we need to solve the issue again.
Mozilla is massive. But if you take in to account the factor that a webbrowser is open most of the time on the majority of computers it might not be much of a hit in terms of resources.
Slashdot Mirror
posessing is not a problem, even recieving is not a problem.
i.e for a client/server network only the server is liable.
Copyright only applies to distributing.

Yep, poor google. With the advertising industry finished I guess they'll be closing up shop too.

Because Myspace proved that you can make a solid, easy to use, and efficient website with it. :P
Why would you ever allow remote root login?
su and sudo are your friends, use them wisely.

But I just don't really see the point.
