Hello! People! There is a 600lb gorilla in the room. Think! This is just another scare tactic.
George W. Bush, and the other powers that be are going apeshit over the internet because they can't control it.
Bill Gates tosses and turns all night thinking about millions of email whizzing about from which is making not a cent.
Surely, there's an answer to both problems. I know, let's tell the people they need to be protected from spam! They want to protect us from spam because it's annoying, because it's immoral, and now because terrorists are using spam to send secret messages?
Good grief, we've seen this same tactic so many times. Spam can be annoying, I agree, but in this case the cure is far worse than the disease.
They are trying to scare us into allowing them to regulate the internet, or at least charge us for email.
More importantly, all of this communication scares them to death. They are afraid the great unwashed will discover the man behind the curtain.
Hello, there is a 600 lb gorilla in the room. What is this education crap? The RIAA is not educating us. What they have been trying to do is brainwash us.
"Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)" Education Ed`u*ca"tion (?; 135), n. L. educatio; cf. F.
'education.
The act or process of educating; the result of educating, as determined by the knowledge skill, or discipline of character, acquired; also, the act or process of training by a prescribed or customary course of study or discipline; as, an education for the bar or the pulpit; he has finished his education.
When the result of your 'education' is a small decrease in the 60 million criminals, you are not educating. What the RIAA is preaching, not teaching, is no longer prescribed or customary.
The RIAA has outlived its usefulness and its arguments are taking on a more and more dangerous tone. They should be working on servers and other electronic music delivery systems.
I confess I know very little about RFID, but I'll bet there are enough people who know enough about RFID to write something to allow people like me to rewrite these things.
Has anyone looked into this? I would think you would only have to clobber the identification portion of the thing to make the data meaningless.
We can all be Tiger Woods.
Idunno. I have a VR3d. My second one(broke the first one). A lot of software was developed for the VR3 and things were going great, but the hardware just wasn't up to snuff. Broken screens, buttons, lids, and the occasional projectile stylus were more than the developer community could stand.
This new one looks too much like the old one. A revamped power system, more memory, expandability, and the reduction of buttons are all improvements, but the biggest problem with the VR3 was the screen.I will not buy the newest linux-based PDA until I see improvements to the case. The days when I would buy a block of wood with a penguin on it have passed.
I also have an IPAQ 3150(running Familiar Linux) and a Zaurus SL5000d. The Zaurus is my favorite. Native Linux, expandability, and durability seem to be its strong points.
