Oh cool! So I could drive by up to my ex-girlfriends house and download kiddieporn using THEIR open wireless router KNOWING NOW that THEY would get BUSTED.
Awsome, now I can use the legal system to fuck them over.
Seriously, I would never do such a thing. But I'm trying to present a flaw in your point of view.
I had one customer that kept getting his roadrunner account disabled. He swore up/down that he checked his PC with McAfee and Norton the first time and didn't detect anything. The second time me formatted and reinstalled XP. After two times in a row in less than a week, I decided to ask the customer if he has a wireless router and he said "yes". Being that he lives in an appartment complex, I told him to disconnect that router and only have one PC connected untill he can learn how to enable WEp on his router.
After this conversation with this customer, I haven't heard back from anything regarding him being disabled again. I suspect one of his neighbors was connecting wirelessly to his router and blowing viri crap down his pipe...thus him getting the blame.
Why oh God WHY did ATI move to.Net. I HATE the driver interface in that it now REQUIRES MS.Net to be installed. At first, we were given the option to use drivers that used it or not. Now with 5.12v, it's required to have any of the advanced options available.
It's just added Bloat. So why even use it on Windows? I sure hope nVidia doesn't start using.Net
I bought a ticket to that maglev when it was time for my return flight back to the US. While it was fun, it's also not practical. The way the seats are laid out is almost identical to being inside the cabin of a plane. That is, you're buckled in. The very fact it rides...make that fly a few inches above the track makes it very unsafe for mass transportation of people. So packing people in train standing up like in a subway is NOT going to work.
Basically, here is how my return flight worked out. I woke up from my hotel to check out. I hopped from three buses before I reached the subway (I hate walking underground packed with people around me). Next, I took the subway clear across Shanghai to the Maglev train. At my last stop I arrived at Pudong Airport. With this all said and done, I would have saved more time taking a non-stop taxi ride from my hotel to the airport. The only reason I didn't to this is because the cabbies will FUCK you on the fair. Why not? I'm a round eyed American, so it's to be expected.
I fucking hate one of the stores after my last experience. Remember that iPod battery issue? Well, mine was covered under the four year BestBuy warranty plan. The refused to exchange it saying it was not covered when it explicitly says so on my BB warranty slip. After the manager argued with me, he said it is not a policy that it's void because it's now and Apple issue. Obviously, he was full of shit and KNEW that the returns hurt his regional sales status (according to a friend that works in his store). Fuck him, too bad. No my prob.
I was one step away from a soon-to-be assult charge. But at last, I managed to keep my cool.
I found another store in Houston, without question it was returned...and I didn't even need to explain myself. When I need a BB store in Houston, I go to this one now.
Hey, that gives me an idea. Let create a new P2P app and call it "Grandma". Just imagine a few years later of kids using this software. Eventually, one of them gets busted in court and goes before the judge...
"Your honor, Eric is being prosecuted for supporting Grandma!
Ya, right, that will go over well with the court.;)
You know, the Porn industry would pay you guys' big bucks!!! Think about it; a new DVD titled "Zero-G Spot" or something. I mean, video of zero-g sex in action would be very unique to the market. Talk about a venture partnership to capitalize on.
Also, imagine Zero-G fighting championships. Ohh AWSOME idea! Spike TV would love this. Hell, a new martial art might even be formed out of it (bouncing off walls and stuff to go for that headlock). The kicks, punches, rebounds *drool*
That's really the dirty little secret isn't it? I mean Big Brother doesn't give a damn about YOUR rights or the protection of the enviroment. Most politicians will say or do anything gain more control and power. But, this takes money and lots of it. So naturally we will feel the squeeze in all directions as we become more taxed.
Feeding Big Brother is a bitch huh? It LIES, CHEATS, and STEALS just stay fed. It's a hungry bastard and always getting fatter. Yet, he is so big that everyone around him will eventually become too afraid to NOT feed him. As such, Big Brother will turn into an authoritarian regime. Worst part is, picking political party sides wont change this fact. voting for the right people in office only slows down the inevitable.
This of government like any life form. It starts off small and grows bigger. Eventually, it gets to old and bloated to become effective and dies (revolution). Later on, a new life form is born in its absence.
Ya, and we all know just how ethical lawyers are *sarcasm* But seriouly, fuck em. Same goes for the people the support most of these scumbags too.
As for me, I'll take the high road. If I get screwed over, I will at most ask for my money back and remember my experience. However, at least I know I won't be burning in hell (or something equally as bad) for my selfishness and willingness to exploit a civilization shattered and devoid of morals.
Besides, there is this thing I believe in called Karma...
Ah ha!!! So THAT'S why Osama Bin Laden ordered two jets to ram the WTC. He wanted to take out the communication spires at the top of them. Someone must have screwed him on the international telco bill to piss him off that badly.:P
America... America... America, FUCK YEAH! Coming again, to save the mother fucking day yeah, America, FUCK YEAH! Freedom is the only way yeah, Terrorist your game is through cause now you have to answer too, America, FUCK YEAH! So lick my butt, and suck on my balls, America, FUCK YEAH! What you going to do when we come for you now, it's the dream that we all share; it's the hope for tomorrow
FUCK YEAH!
McDonalds, FUCK YEAH! Wal-Mart, FUCK YEAH! The Gap, FUCK YEAH! Baseball, FUCK YEAH! NFL, FUCK, YEAH! Rock and roll, FUCK YEAH! The Internet, FUCK YEAH! Slavery, FUCK YEAH!
And because ethanol has a higher octain rating, you can crank up the boost in engines that are turbo or supercharged. =) Just keep in mind that your MPG will go to utter shit, but it's ok if ethanol is cheap.
And yes, ethanol does have less energy density per volume compaired to gasoline. It's all due to the hydrocarbon structure of the fuels.
White Smoke (often bluish in tint) is generally caused by burning oil leaking past piston rings and into the combustion chamber. A blown head gasket can cause something similar as coolant is now being introduced. Both of the problems are major and will require an engine rebuild. In the mean time, installing a sparkplug with "hotter" rating will keep the engine running smoothly. Such engines in poor conditions are notorious for sparkplug fouling.
I suppose in theory, it can be caused by too rich of a bio-fuel/air ratio mixture or poorly processed bio-fuels
You talk as though "true AI" would promote peace, but the exact opposite could be true as well. Maybe, they might strategically pin the human race against each other so they "AI Machines" can be the remaining victor to inherit the Earth. Insidious, I know. But just as equally plausible.
Did it every occur that just *maybe* those that do AI research and development have nothing to do with website development and deployment (which includes the servers OS)?
I have friends who've fought in the first Gulf War. Every one of them well tell you that "trust" of another fellow soldier is more important than the weapons they wield. So unless self aware AI can legally be held accountable for it's own actions for the decisions it makes on its own, I don't see such thinking machinery out on the battle field making such crucial political decisions (war is political).
Put it to you this way. Would you rather have an android with very little real-world experience or another human being fighting side-by-side with you? I'm sorry, but I don't want some software bug or glitch to slug me with a 50 cal round. To fucking risky IMHO.
Just to make AI military applications clear, you will never see such a program acting as a substitute for human beings. At best, it will be a supplement. Because of this inherent nature in the art of war, true independent thinking and self aware will rarely be given a chance in the theater of battle. Why you ask? Simple. It's a security risk!
It's ok, I'm not offended or anything. But I am getting my fill of looney leftests AND righties. Both people of extreme viewpoints offer nothing much to the discussion and often fill slashdot of retoric devoid of anything intillectual. As as shocking as it may seem to some on slashdot, I have bashed quite a few neo-cons on this forrum. After all, the best form of moderation is done through discussion, and not through mod points.
Then again, the Slashdot Gods have yet to bless me with the ability to modderate these days FYI:(

It confuses me as to why Congress should have any say in companies creating additional networks. Interstate commerce clause?
With formal backing of the government, it thus becomes "the law"
Why is the even a question. It should be rather obvious to anyone living in the US.

There's a difference between games and real life
Exactly. In real-life, you only start off with one "life" and no "continues". 1-UPs are hard to come by these days.

Sounds more like The Apprentice (reality TV show). This will be interesting how geeks backstab eachother for a seat next to the very "one" they loath.
I thought cats had 9 lives. Does that mean he can legally vote 9 times? :P
Decentralization = less security and more redundancy.
Centralization = more security (IE manageable and locked down) and less redundancy.
Pick one, you can't have both.

Whats going to be left of your CPU if you're running a bunch of anti-spy/virus/blaaaah scanners, auto-updaters and registry watchers?
What do you think the "other" CPU core is for?
Ah ha!!! So THAT'S why Osama Bin Laden ordered two jets to ram the WTC. He wanted to take out the communication spires at the top of them. Someone must have screwed him on the international telco bill to piss him off that badly. :P
