Hmm.. "Mr. Your rights online" Hemos is a wonderful censor and deleter of content, isnt he?
I guess depleting a 'business venture' of some big company is more worth saving than a free software developer. Well, either that, or MMC3 scsi commands are now considered "propertiary secrets".
And you dont have to keep track of every particle in the universe... Just the opposite, you have to only keep track of those entangled with each oter (assumption that max entanglement rate is C away per second from all particles in entanglement with each other).
Well, that and Im sure you could eliminate many 'variables' by compressing them completely and inserting null fields.
They sell this widget to other companies. The companies have this object in their possession, and my pops built in a protection to prevent others from looking under the hood.
Ok, this device has a 25 something pin plug in which my dad's company publishes to the buyers. Pinouts are 100% known to exact spec. The actual controller has all sorts of control configs that you COULD control while the device is on (or flash, or dump, or..), but is protected by a login/password that only my dad and his company have.
---While micropayments directly to content creators is an idyllic and very thoughtful way to compensate artists, the truth is, we live in a world full of distributors, packagers, and other fun middlemen.
Ok, so do we need a "digital envelope" on everything we want? Nope. If anything digital, it'd be best when selling digital works to patckage all metadata consistenly, extras categorized and other nifty stuffs properly arranged.
We could even name this "Digipacking". Do this so we can guarantee quality of the data we buy and easy indexing on our systems. Get rid of CD covers if you want to, or you could offer a service (possibly through a printing corporation) to provide 'physical materials' if requested. Cases are standard, cdbooks could be printed by the 10000's for a decent price, and a glass master isnt THAT expensive these days to manufacture (if you go through the right people).
Let people know these are clean, good files. No DRM, no obfusication, no hassles. Good clean Music/Video and extras.
---As physical goods transform into electronic goods, perhaps the industry will find a means to phase out the middlemen. But it sure wouldn't be profitable and would possibly be devastating to the national economies of several nations.
Boo hoo. When it comes to digital, the only middle man I can forsee is those big fileservers backing big projects. Past that, who really needs digital middlemen? Not I.
---Kind of why we still use petroleum for energy. Sure there are better (and cheaper, and cleaner) forms of energy, but switching to them would damage the established centuries-old petroleum-based energy industry and cause severe economic problems.
You have no idea why we really use petrol. Where's the nearest hydrogen pump at? Where's the nearest electro-charge station at? Infrastructure costs money and we already have one that works. When it fails, something else will (hopefully) take place in the stead. Also, most other types of liquid/gas has less energy density than gasoline and diesel.
And the other poster has it right.. Centuries? Really?
Ive a big box of change that I keep under my computer desk. Whenever I come home with change, I give it a toss in the box. Every other month or so, it amounts to about 100$. "Free money" as who wants to pay everything with change?
Ok.. Ive spare money and Ive a 'debit card' to a shill account which I manually deposit into (keeps a balance of $5.01 normally). And I see these nifty creations here and there whether it be a hardware hacking or new media to listen/watch.
What I want is a simple way to trade small amounts of my money DIRECTLY to the creators. I can understand a 1% or $.05 gratuity (whatever's smaller of the 2) for the xfer cost, but I want an easy micropayment system.
---It really doesn't matter how one specifically attempts to implement this, or how many monkeys you get to stand in the middle. The proposition is internally ludicrous.
Actually, it does.
For example, my pops builds a certain widget that has a pic processor with pads for an rs485. This device does XYZ (from which I cannot say, patent pending and all).
You can log in via the rs485 with a simple terminal emulator BUT you end up with a login/password prompt. With the correct login/password, you can dump memory and get the binary of the device he built. His corp wants to build a simple black box with direct and easy to figure out specs, but DOES NOT WANT OTHERS COPYING HIS DESIGN.
This very design is the same as the DRM scheme. Provide a easy to use input/output but a strong control appratus.
Whether you agree or not with the idea of keeping information under inpentrable lock/key is a different argument, but its what it is.
Glad you could respond after the article is off the front page;)
Simply enough for your simplistic analogies that "just dont work", hows about we dwelve deeper into what DRM does..
There is an Alice, Bob and Carol. Bob just happens to be a mediator (MS Bob of course..) that receives all the data, and then determines if Carol has the correct permissions to accept the data.
It just so happens that Bob is a software construct running on a computer in possession of Carol.
There was the same obfusication in both. Timing based attacks are 'not cool' unless used in conjunction with other security measures.
In the most likelyhood, some idjit will think this is 'security' and secure a telnetd on a port. Then when they're hacked, oh-nos! Thats when they realize from the logs the attack came from within the ISP. Big surprise.
Anyways, I'd prefer to use standard queries for networks and not have everyting hidden... Having sshd running with no key-sharing is plenty secure enough for me (well, with obvious nsa-patches.. heh heh heh).
Shouldnt be too hard to get rid of replay attacks. Just include NTPD on your servers, keep in sync with some lvl 2/3 strata and 1 link to a lvl 1 as failover.
You could probably get a script that takes the UDP datagram data through a pgp filter. Just include the time and only allow a 3 second sway to/from it and then accept it.
Including a encrypted time linked to your secret key is plenty good enough. Buh bye replay.
Slashdot Mirror
If somebody goes back in time, they're randomly thrusted to ' |time deviated from present|* C '.
Even if somebody goes back 20 years to kill theoretical parent, they are put somewhere in a sphere 20 light years away from present place.
The only problem is energy consumption and unbalancing energy costs....
Why eh? Ill take a stab at a troll..

Which is it Hemos?
My Journal, here
Our time is better suited at DOING THINGS rather than reading yet another useless, boring license.
Let the legalese geeks do their thing.
--then it gets stuck in an infinite loop
WHo says we arent in one now?
Quantum entangled matrix.
And you dont have to keep track of every particle in the universe... Just the opposite, you have to only keep track of those entangled with each oter (assumption that max entanglement rate is C away per second from all particles in entanglement with each other).
Well, that and Im sure you could eliminate many 'variables' by compressing them completely and inserting null fields.
Err, why?
Couldnt you just slow down the matter emulation to a speed like... 1/10^1000 and watch in slo-mo?
Sry. Only for vetinarians. Feh.
Speak for yourself, Winkydinky.
;P Grawwwwwwwl!
Hell with computers, just give me my g/f and a nice bed
"How to I attach the heatsink? "
;P
One of these silly
PS2 or (e)Xbox... No PC eh? Ok, that BLOWS, expessially for an FPS.
So when will PC get more good games, and not these PS2 or Xbox shill games?

Does "hedging your bets" sound more correct?
Big names in either acting or directing usually ups your side of the bet, but still provides for a chance at a stinker..

Heh, and I was guessing that you might have put your Gx (where x = 3, 4, or 5) to good use as a bind server ;)
Then again, Bind usually uses udp, right (but can be configured for tcp use...?)
Simply enough for your simplistic analogies that "just dont work", hows about we dwelve deeper into what DRM does..
There is an Alice, Bob and Carol. Bob just happens to be a mediator (MS Bob of course..) that receives all the data, and then determines if Carol has the correct permissions to accept the data.
