It violates rights assured you under the Patriot act....
Also, doesn't/wouldn't this constitue spoofing or man in the middle? Isn't that unlawful access to a network? or put another way, if I did it would they worry the legality before throwing my A$$ away? It also makes me wonder if acting as a proxy with such a device would evade the wiretap/recording rules.....
any illusion of security at the cost of, oh, wait, maybe not.....
and your customers won't realized they've been pwn3d until its too late, kind of like Sony making the now infamous root kit invisible by patching the OS?
They want to go to a license model for media, but they also want to charge for new media types (VHS->DVD->BluRay->) I've bought Bladerunner now, oh, I don't know, 10 times, but if you believe the media folks I've never actually owned it, I've only had the right to view it......
making it open source might insure that you have a chance of using it everywhere and somewhat future proofs it, so long as the system uses a method that does not require external verification and/or an occasional phone home; DRM sucks, and the only way we are going get rid of it is to stop being ignorant consumers.
thought I was nuts for checking my clothes and carrying my computer gear on business trips, many hard drives, two computers, some media, a PS2 slim, basically everything of small size and high value goes in my carryon luggage, the security check is a b*tch but its their job and I've (knock on wood) yet to lose anything; I have however learned not to use the bags that I use for shooting my rifles, the nut jobs actually picked up powder/residue of a foreign nature and flagged me to secondary search.....
I found the idea of 'world gobbling' black holes entertaining but why stop at one? If you made more than one, would one consume the other? would they balance? I'm thinking about a car going oh, say the speed of light and you turn on the headlights; does relative time slow down or speed up? did that damned tree fall? is the cat dead? how did Alia get into her grandfathers head?
is that 99.2 percent of gamers that purchased their games? I didn't purchase spore precisely because of DRM. I purchased a console system to avoid much of the interference and madness that these varying 'harmless' DRM tools can cause as my last game PC was also a machine that I use on occasion to pay the bills (banking and working);
The WIFI at my workplace is available, there is little if any security and the traffic isn't encrypted; why? well it has always been associated with being insecure, so when WIFI was rolled out it was placed on the Big I instead of the little i and to get anywhere internal you must bring up a VPN tunnel to work, add some poisoned routing information on both sides to account for the networks being used (internal versus internal) and you have some hope of preventing someone from bridging i to I.
You shouldn't use WIFI for anything that you wouldn't want to share openly and even if you believe that what you are doing is secure you should know that someone could still be capturing your session and working on it offline; the vendors haven't helped either, most wireless routers will 'work' right out of the box, purchase at worst-buy, plug it into your cable modem and in 60 seconds your on, I can't tell you how many networks I've found this way, most still have the default admin account set (just google the model number being advertised by the network) and your in....
Was sold this bill of goods as 'unlimited' and limits have been all that I have gotten on a regular basis, the service was best when it as @Home, not ATT, not Comcast. I live in a rural area where the only other low latent/high speed connection available is, you guess it, not available. That added to the little fact that Broadband in the US is already horribly outclassed by that which is available elsewhere in the world; one of my friends just moved to Korea, make fun of them playing Starcraft all you want but his unfurnished apartment came with a 30mbit up/down link, expense absorbed in the rent.... Comcast claims they are doing this to stop the 1% of the users they are using most of the bandwidth, I actually believe this, but think they should be offering a higher tier to those folks and leave the rest of us 'customers' alone. Anyone else recall the unlimited broadband ads they ran? Smell class action?
Another piece of space junk; I do, however, see an opportunity for gods must be crazy like moment where a hard drive falls out of the sky and hits a person, place or thing; or maybe someone does get the data, they follow the recipe hoping for something good, they get a few of us, realize their error and place the newly grown humans on a type M planet somewhere...
so which cell carrier is going to be the first to send a microcell up? This also means that iphone and ipod touch can now purchase music and apps from Itunes in orbit, wonder who gets dibs on that one....
ah, yes, I suspect if you wanted to burn it the suspected water/ammonia mix found in the ice could be a source of oxygen if needed, I also suspect methane would work really well in a fuel cell designed for it.
Someone is going to figure out that ice encrusted methane is nearly the same as a full tank of gas for their expedition; once that occurs I suspect any evidence of life will become exhaust remains.
Laptops and drives still fit in diplomatic pouches and are not subject to steerage class searches, I've come to the conclusion that all of my data should be network accessible and my laptop is very nearly a 'fresh' build when travelling; my employers rules are very specific, I am not to share/reveal/disclose, I am responsible for keeping the drive encrypted and I am subject to termination if I reveal the decryption mechanism/keys to unauthorized individuals. Strangely enough these rules are all at the insistance of the same government now doing these searches..... Papers please indeed.
Also very odd, if I place the data on a drive and ship it in advance both ways its subject to customs but not DHS; customs can play the same tricks (somewhat) but you are more likely not to encounter some 4.25 an hour disgruntled lets have some fun with the guy with the laptop by taking his precious away if you ship your gear separately.
I suggested the microphone method as it makes the device a bit easier to use and allows for the full dish to operate unobscured by the user; another way to do this (that allows for passive use would be to mount a smaller dish focussed towards the center of the dish with a hole for access would allow you to place your ear to the hole on the outside of the dish. They do work very well though.
What I like is if you go to the tech forum on ICQ referred to in initial post you'll see that most if not all workarounds have been edited out by ICQ....nice.
having had extensive experience with BlueArc devices I can say that when they work they are great, when they don't its a big CF and at one point I was walking their support folks through what to do next; great product but not for home, and really not for traditional enterprise, GOV/University/Video/Weapons labs great, large HA/DR environment? bad. Back on topic, my vote is for Infrant, as someone else noted its proc is its limit, netgear is fixing that with the new series (core 2 duo should speed that along) mine is happy storing my photos and acting as a media server for my PS3; Keep this in mind though, its a linux box with a fancy gui, if your clever you can build a linux box that will beat it in all regards except size for less.

when I said fuel, I didn't say burn.

With what?
Then I thought it would be great if they did a soup nazi routine with folks in line, wait, maybe Apple should do that......
Its funny; things just don't translate cleanly.
take:
Buck a scoop Chinese food.
babel it and you get:

babel it again and you get:
Resists stubbornly wooden scoop Chinese food
yummy.

mount a microphone at its focal point and aim that sucker (carefully) at whatever you would like to hear.
I also second, third, or whatever the notion of a death ray,
take a microwave oven apart and get creative with the +10 ray of amana.
This doesn't apply at the White House, apparently they don't archive their email.....or at least you can't prove that they may or may not......

But as soon as you relate it to 'saving the children' your correct, it'll all be gone soon enough.
