Not only did China get ahead with cheap labour but also with poor working conditions, no pollution restrictions, minimum or no safety/ health conditions and corruption to grease the wheels of profit for those autocrats running the corporofascist society.
One reason for the shift to IP instead of production could quite simply be because China is currently quite busily polluting itself to death. As the level of toxic elements rises in the environment it will be interesting to see what future chemical chain reactions will occur and how high the death toll will rise.
Meanwhile those who reaped the profits while destroying their country will be seeking means by which to bail with their wealth intact and seek to secure future means of income.
By far the worst thing about bloggers as far as 'main stream' mass media is, bloggers directly targeting their advertising as news marketing stream.
With bloggers routinely tearing down marketing B$ being presented as true news, not only is that source of revenue drying up, the backlash from readers also kills future subscriptions.
As for 'foreign' to US bloggers, this means the will have to be extremely careful when they choose whether or not to travel to the US. Strip searched, probed, followed by extended 'harsh' interrogation, only to be deported, just for being 'unfriendly' foreign journalists (with out any legal rights), will make some foreign bloggers simply decide to travel else where.
It is fairly simple in marketing speak they simply don't differentiate between retailer preorders for resale, simply M$ arm twisting, don't pre-order and we wont make any units available to you till a month or so after release and actually individual customer pre-orders.
If your into computer games in any way shape or form, you have learnt to never ever buy any game until it has been released and the reality of it's gameplay versus the marketing of the pretty pictures is demonstrated.
The last time M$ went with a B$ sold out marketing campaign was for the defective xbox360 does that mean halo3 will follow suit as the most bug ridden version produced to date.
Not only that, what about the security of your data and what privacy restrictions will google implement. Not only are you volunteering your private data to google your also paying for the privilege of that extra deep review of your private bits.
With google having to abandon it's video rental service as a result of being unable to gain sufficient market share to make the service viable, it is now scratching to generate sufficient income to justify it's share price.
Human history tends to indicate we do a bit more than just compete with them for food sources. The reality is, we likely turned the opposition into food sources or at the very least, actively prevented them from exploiting food sources with in our territories.
P) Vengeance although a somewhat undesirable human characteristic was still very likely influential in the evolution of humans and their societies and in the extinction of competing species.
Here's a hint for you, not everybody, knows everything about everything on this planet, hence surprisingly enough they look it up on a search engine, to find what the term or phrase means. Lets take this as an example http://www.google.com.au/search?aq=t&oq=&hl=en&q=b ombe+alaska&btnG=Search&meta= so am I looking for a dessert recipe, or am I a terrorist with typo problems wanting to blow up Alaska.
I suppose it all depends on whether some low IQ, anal retentive, privacy invasive pervert, at which ever three letter agency is looking to fill their quota, or has a grudge against you, or just doesn't like your slashdot postings.
And shit, what do you know, it is all digital, so no matter what they want to put against your name, the can just edit the logs and voila, a complete record of nefarious search entries, now, you prove different.
When it comes to refining, filtering and tweaking your net searches, the only place it should be stored is locally on your computer, it is only your business and no one else's, as for google the proctologist of the Internet, and it's ilk, you can do what ever you like, legislation to force the respect of other people's privacy will be jammed down your greedy maws whether your lobbyists like it or not;).
The storey is largely nothing but a marketing crock. The school boards said nothing, Grunwald Associates LLC, is doing all the spruiking. The story is all about the threat of a restricted access, restricted content, supervised, children only Internet. 1000 children in 250 school districts, that is 4 children per school district, now who calls that any kind of representative sample, and that is between the ages of 9 and 17, not even one from each year.
The study was even conducted online, what was the verification system. I wonder if an additional study was done to find out in which industry the parents of those children were employed what would the results produce.
Carefully constructed to my mind means they wanted to get these results to sell the story they were paid to produce. Disgusting scum, willing to sell any lie in order to generate their profits regardless of the consequences, don't you know, other parent's children are just profit centres to be exploited.
Here is the sales site http://grunwald.com/surveys/sn/index.php for the report to quote "Permission to use extracts from publicly released findings in corporate marketing and promotion materials", fucking lovely.
Marketing, marketing and yet more marketing. Say bad things about the previous version of windows in order to sell more copies of the next version of windows and wrap in up in what ever bullshit is required to make it more plausible.
Security, reliability for M$ are just marketing terms, they don't ever actually want to produce it because then they have nothing to sell you in the next version. No opinion coming out of M$ has any value at all.
Take for example the current crop of B$ for Vista, M$ announce the release of the performance and reliability service pack for Vista and at the same time they release stories about how will it performs and how reliable it is.
Now, why would you produce a performance and reliability service pack for a product that your saying has excellent performance and reliability, now come on M$ at least make an effort to get your B$ straight.
As for security, M$ handing out the source code of their swiss cheese (P)OS to a range of unreliable groups just to inlfate M$ profits and damn the consequences, is just a perfect example of how insecure and unreliable M$ management really are.
Not really true, usb keys can be stored anywhere, so either they basically dismantle the entire house and every stick of furniture in it, as well as cars in the garage, or it is just basically a public act of intimidation.
You want to hide stuff, then stash a notebook and ssh into it via wireless networking and power it via magnetic induction, hell, you could hide it next door and technically speaking any search warrant they issued would never cover it any how.
what is even sicker is they targeted his family, taking his children's notebook computers, what the fuck is that. They seriously considered his children as part of a conspiracy or is this just an emphasis of not only will we target you, if you stand against us, we will target your family.
You really have got to wonder about the honour and integrity of the agents who participated, and at which point they would finally refuse to obey politically motivated order or is courage a word that is just rapidly disappearing out of the US justice system.
Your of course totally correct, devices like this and other mostly sometimes some what non-lethal long range torture devices are not used to control people, they are used to specifically punish people, for the most troublesome crime of publicly supporting views that are counter to the mass media and the currently governing political parties views.
Personally I believe that if your are assaulted with one of these weapons and are not charged with and convicted of a crime, than the person who comitted the assault should be charged and convicted for that assault. Every abuse of law enforcement powers is a crime, and that criminal should be pursued and convicted for that crime.
Almost correct. There is also the superheated high velocity remnants of the nuclear weapon casing and delivery mechanism at the leading edge of the shock wave, oddly enough more significant in space than it is in a planetary atmosphere, missile should rotate and detonate butt first.
Of course there a no red flags when countless public organisation promote, and feed private data to google. After all to be google "not evil" all public organisations should actively support the rightful market leader to ensure that google maintains it market dominance and all public organisations should do everything they can to feed the googlites even more private information.
Especially questionable university search queries where known misfits and malcontents search for deviant and anti-authority ideas like freedom and democracy and it is well known that the even more seditious anti-profit crowd congregates at university campuses. All must worship the google and confess all your deviant searches to the google and keep and spread the immortal google cookie to all corners of the universe, all hail the google's profits.
Who was talking about the geeks and nerds on slashdot, I was talking about the general populace. Geeks and nerds have a too wildly diversified and spread range of hobbies, pass times, temporary fixations, bar of course, all things computers, to really discuss what they do and do not like, excluding of course pay to post trolls on slashdot and nobody cares what they do as long as they do it else where.
Yeah right, chuckle head, slum landlords don't exist, of course you shouldn't look at the slum, you meant to worship greed at the mansion. In fact private business will seek to extract as much profit as possible and get away with providing the least amount possible and endeavour to fund laws so that they in fact can get away with murder.
The failures have largely been as a result of governments that delight if running down government departments they are meant to be looking after, in stuffing them full of political appointees, and completely ignoring the advice of the last remaining diligent government employees, whilst simultaneously seeking to privatise everything, not so that it will run better just so that the politician will get their kick back.
Any major infrastructure failure like this and just a sure sign of corruption, a third world infrastructure created by a government dominated by private/corporate interests, if it serves the rich and greedy it is in, if it serves the ignorant masses it is out.
You want to know how poorly your privatised corporate government functions, just wait to see how many people are prosecuted and imprisoned for gross negligence. The whole silliness of automated warning systems, why bother when it is currently inevitable that they would be ignored and/or overridden, apart from of course extracting hundreds of millions of dollars from the public purse in having them installed.
I think there is a whole globe of people who do not have access to computers, so the human touch is temporarily waning in terms of US music, not in relation to the rest of the world. What really hurt music was a lack of live venues and a singular focus by mass media on just a few populist, as least according to mass media, performance artists (people to whom music means nothing apart from ego and greed).
As the revenue departs from dead music so the focus will shift to live music shared between people having a good time ie, in the digital age, people will endeavour to seek greater personal social contact on their nights out.
Well it's just doing it every few years and tidying up ntfs access, nvidia graphics driver (and using more than one mouse at a time on a notebook). So rather than being able to do all those bits from memory, I have to reference it, adds an extra hour or so to the complete install.
Once you installed all the bits in Kubuntu, and fiddled with the settings, you don't really touch much of it any more you just use it and the latest Kubuntu upgrade from 6.* t 7.* was pretty much automatic, so I missed out on that learning experience, oh well, I've still go a notebook floating around that's dual booting to SuSe that needs some Kubunting, I'll practice on that.

The DRM Scorecard
·
· Score: 1
Now go just a little bit further into the future where you can store a terabyte of data on your DRM free mobile phone/pda, and even pirate bay becomes irrelevant.
The only DRM you want on a personal communications device is code that protects your digital rights, privacy, fair play, and personal digital security.
The Internet is destroying the music industry, the mass produced, factory production line, one hit wonder music, the crap that only the most inexperienced and susceptible to mass marketing techniques temporarily thought they enjoyed, good riddance.
The rebirth of music, created by real human beings to be shared with real human beings, music that only represented the minority of content readily available in the 20th century will again become the majority and the only people to miss the parasitic music publishers will be the parasitic publisher executives.
Elton is just isolated by wealth and mass media manufactured fame, and is lamenting his lost ability to share the creative process with the grass roots artists, as he approaches his end of times. The Internet will usher in a new era of live music in preference to dead recordings.
The real point is, it is all about the game play, it has always been about the game play, graphics just helps to present the medium. The Wii just has the game play well aligned for the controller, and the graphics are just 'good enough' to involve the player, which is all the graphics have to be. So well done by Nintendo, a good balance of console capability and controller suited to a broad market and of course marketing to present it to their 'target' audience.
In terms of damages it might also relate to the typical price 90 cents per song and the number of verifiable illegal copies derived from the infringing work. If the RIAA lawyers only have one infringing copy, that damage should only be the licence fee portion of 90 cents, not the full amount, exclude costs to distribute, retail mark up etc. so say 75 cents, well to $750 that is well past any realistic recognisable damages.
The best method for class action law suits against false advertisers in Australia, is simply to rally enough people to complain to the ACCC http://www.accc.gov.au/ and they will sue the false advertisers for you, regardless of any legal loopholes the company lawyers try to invent and pretend are real.
Actually any system you create, can be said to be tamper able by you, even when you go to the extent of providing a simultaneous non repeatable externally derived and verifiable analogue recording (based upon today's technology) combined with digital data to be stored.
Other than that the only legal way is for you to outsource a certified solution provide by an independent company who is them legally liable for the failure of legally bound write once correctly read many times correctly storage medium.
It is more of a legal solution rather than a technological solution. Besides if you are the person in the company certifying its reliability you then become legally liable for it (I hope your professional indemnity insurance is fully paid up).
If you are not doing it for the money, then you should specifically pass those kind of hassles off to the conference people, they are in a better position dealing with their local government, they also can get practised at it and set up a system.
