Is this supposed to represent the ultimate ideals of a "Free Market Economy"... Because I'm pretty sure this is why extremists see the States as an empire of evil.
Flame me if you want. But isn't it strange that the US was decrying the Iraqies "inhuman actions" for "bringing out our dead" to show on TV, and then hauling out the dead sons of the enemy.
Remember after Sept. 11th there were reports that the terrorist probably made money betting against the airline industry, and how aweful that was of them (it really was disgusting, don't get me wrong), and now the Pentagon is acting even worse.
Have you been in a record store lately. Ugghhhh. All the R&B POP tween friendly boy band fluff is coming at you from every direction. The lack of taste in music has become so prevalent that no self respecting music lover would ever be caught dead in one "those stores" (the smaller ones got eaten up along time ago with the advent of the huge Box stores (Virgin, HMV, Sam, etc.)
That and the Tweens can only buy so many carppy disks.
The PCI slot closest to the AGP slot isn't really used that much these days. See since the GeForce 256 came along and (most other AGP cards) the first slot was recommended by manufacturers to stay empty as it caused some conflicts.
This may have changed but I never put anything in that first slot anymore. How many PCI devices do you need in a gaming rig anyway?
My mindset is such that you could never hope to understand it fool. That said. You have shown yourself to be standing up with the ole': "I could hit you with a baseball bat untill your brains come out of your head and you die or I could use a gun to do it, makes no difference to me, you still die!"
The difference is that it takes a little courage to use a knife, chainsaw or woodchipper etc. to off your enemy, but any coward can use a gun to do the job and have little fear of being caught.
I'm all for people's rights except when they so clearly infringe on mine. I don't feel safe around idiots with automatic weapons, sniper rifles that can kill me from a mile away, or weapons that can pierce the (supposedly) bullet proof armor of the police who are trying to protect us from that kind of ordinance.
- try to make it better.
What is it the U.S. Government has to hide from it's own people anyway. Their whole argument for attacking Iraq was that the must be hiding WMD's SINCE they have not brought them out to show the public (world at large).
Can we assume the gov then has alot more to hide concerning events like 9/11 and the false info passed along to the people of the States? Absolutely. Is there anyone to hold the Bushies accountable? Absonotly! Who would dare?
Sure I have the right to have a killing machine, so long as I am trained how to use it safely (not only for myself but for the rest of the people in my community, shack etc.
This means not giving it to someone or allowing lil Jeb to take it to school and shoot up the class) registered and listed as the owner and sole user of the machine and swear on my Pa's grave never to use it on another human being (unless that human is on ma prop'ty without ma says so).

Yes Clinton was the spawn of satan. But look at the deficit Bush Jr. is running. It is comparable only to Reagans.

...Are recieving the LEAST amount of dollars in these tax cuts "for families" as you stated. Sure cut their taxes 50 dollars a month and cut the robber-baron billionaire's taxes so they get an extra 500,000 (0?) a month. What's a poor corporation to do but send their job's oversea's so as to get that couple extra zero's bushites won't give em'? That's what they'll do because they are upset when they get a couple strings cut from the arms and legs of one more pupet president.

If you're greedy, you vote democrat - that's how you get entitlements that you're not entitled to, and tax refunds where you never paid any taxes
Now Now! No reason to get all neo-con counterintuitive on us. Yes the Dems gave out some cash to some welfare cases, Yes those welfare cases probably are still welfare cases. Did those cases get rch of this money? No.
Do all people benefit when neo-cons give out tax breaks that benefit the super rich most of all, welllll that's tough to say, but essentially the answer is: no
the rich are getting rich, the middle class are now the working poor. And the dirt poor? They reap the HUGE benefit of a cheque for a hundred bucks from the Dems by accident.
Yeah I have to agree. Holywood and the Music industry probably have had to fight off more ridiculous lawsuits by the "Moral Majority" than the 60+ lawsuits per day they are filing against bad bad file sharers.
First it's the PTA and religio nutters vs. Holywood and Music, now its their turn to sue those little basttards parents.
Ads for the Satelite broadcasters of America or something like that. Cue the scary music. Guy walks down dark street passes unsuspecting citzens enters his dark room and flicks on *gasp* the TV.
We've got neo-con Alan Dershowitz trying to sell our government on why this is a good thing. No thanks, I didn't vote for the bushies, and even if I did I'd be mad as hell at this kind of garbage.
Update July 19
Score one for security through obscurity. I haven't found a detailed explanation of the exploit, and I'm out of time for looking. The best documentation I have is mails from the wm-talk list, which I have archived here in mbox format -- you'll need to import these into your mailer to make the file readable.
Worth pointing out: check out the post below titled "Digital becomes Analog."
Update July 15
The crack turns out to be lossy. It grabs the audio stream at rendering time, so doesn't have access to the unencrypted bytes.
That said, this is all gossip. I still don't have access to either the details of the exploit or technical documentation, so can't judge for myself. There's no public documentation on the design of WM9 DRM (or iTunes DRM, for that matter).
If any regulars on AVSForums run across the original reference, I'd be grateful for a pointer.
Folks on AVSforums say they have successfully used tools from the Microsoft software development kit to rip and re-encode audio protected by Microsoft DRM in the WindowsMedia 9 format. This is only a rumor at this point -- I haven't seen the crack myself, but WM9 developers seem to be taking it as gospel.
How did these criminal masterminds pull off this incredible feat? Did they crack an encryption key? Did they beat an MS employee with a rubber hose? Did they heat a CPU in a microwave oven? Was it a buffer overflow? An underflow? What was this remarkable feat?
Incredibly, there was no exploit needed. These wily crackers merely had to write a program using well documented 100% aboveboard functions provided by Microsoft. It was not hard, involved no breakthroughs, did not depend on reverse engineering, and did not need a key. All they did was build the right DirectShow graph, and since DirectShow is a tool for third party software developers to build shipping software, ISVs can easily offer an all-in-one solution to strip DRM from content without fear of the DMCA.
What this means is that the DRM on which both Microsoft and their many partners in the RIAA and MPAA are counting on is nothing but a sham. There is no DRM in MS DRM.

The parent of my post is right. It would be great to see a rating for the page you select. I have often thought about what effect on google each page I visit has on the overall ranking of the search I made (mostly how infantisimal it would be registered as), and how innacurate it could be.
If only there was a button you could press that would give more weight to a certain good link off the google search page. I wonder what the problems with this would be (abuse and bots come to mind).
I bet that the old "rubbing with graphite" technique (to copy the impressions made if the document was hand written of course this excludes modern copiers) would work on your "black marker encryption" technique. Probably a no brainer for the forensic folks these days.
