Did you know that during the Guiliani administration in NYC when they cracked down on most of the porn shops along Times Square, that was pretty much one of the basis' for their crackdown... "Peep shows are disgusting places filled with disease bringing down the quality of life."
I would have to agree that some were filthy, just think about dudes doing the do, and leaving a booth here for a second...
Anyway as for the sharing, I look at the RIAA in political terms, they're the Neocons pushing for war via WMD intelligence... Shoddy intelligence, whereas on the porn industry side, they wouldn't mind being that they make tons of money, and perhaps they see that people do buy their movies after a sampling via P2P.
FYI, if you look at it note the last sentences in Chapter 3, and the last sentence above chapter 7. Now in theory this is what would be a term of service agreement if I wrote one up as so, which would mean you as the user/viewer would have to agree to these terms before visiting.
So... In essence would you turn over your life savings because you chose not to read things thoroughly? Who would be to blame me or you?
Aside from the article being a joke, I posted a serious question I actually had thought about for a while. Want to take a chance and sign your life away? I think I'll ask around this law group I post to, see if someone there knows...
You know I always wondered if I decided to create a hellishly long page called a term of service, which most people will never read, and insert the term "You agree by clicking on the link to pass over your life savings to $NAMEGOESHERE" if it would hold up in court.
Call it stupid, moronic, but according to these so called terms of service agreements, if someone did click on the link, in theory I should be able to track down users via their ISP's and stake my claim.
You know I wrote something along these lines a while back. (Breaking Point) Not this scenario exactly, but how easy it would be to digitally frame someone online. It's a shame things are getting out of hand. Maybe I should take some time write the document correctly (formatting, spelling) and make a request for comments from others in the community and make some little "READ ME" for people who don't understand tech too much. I know BBC would have probably taken a different look if they knew enough about computing to understand how easy it is to pass off something as someone else on the net.
Sorry to say but this whole licensing scheme is getting out of hand. Not to troll about this but how many licenses are there? GPL, BSD, etc? Now another scheme? Now supposing I decided as an admin on one of the machines I -obviously ADMIN - I decide to go with the "non commercial" license. Say I run my own machine with 60 users. Friends, friends of friends, etc. Now I decide to host a domain for one of these friends, and he decides he's going to run something commercial then what? Am I breaking license standards here. Aside from that, what the hell difference would it honestly make these so called Licenses being they would have to be a worldwide universal license.
Just because you say it's law here, why should someone follow the laws of land A when they live in land B. Don't you think there is a huge window for abuse here. Not only by cheapskate corporations who can circumvent these laws, but by lawmakers who for one wouldn't understand computing as a whole, but would be quick to indict Average John for a quick hit in the paper on "How I cracked down on international program crackers who acted with disregard those terrorists."
Seriously, why is the community (Open Source) even waisting their time on another licensing scheme.
Today, information is everything. Whether in insurance, government, banking, law enforcement, healthcare, the legal industry, or other fields, getting the information you need to know.now. quickly and easily is essential for smart decision making.
Accessing critical information is as easy as point-and-click. Using ChoicePoint Online's powerful search capabilities, you can easily search more than 14 billion records on individuals and businesses.
Whoopdeedoo. Choicepoint and companies like them probably have more than you can spend your life trying to hide. Personally I blame it on utter laziness. Here's a day in the life of Avgjoe...
Avgjoe wakes up everyone morning and turns on the radio to hear the news while he gets ready for work. He uses XM satellite for news... (subscriber info sent)
As he gets into his car after getting ready he joyously turns on his car. "Welcome to OnStar" (userinfo sent). Driving over the Triboro bridge, Avjoe happily avoids crowds and goes through the EZPass lane. (info sent). Upon entering Manhattan he decides to fill up the tank at Mobil with his credit card. (info sent)
Driving down 1st avenue he eats a yellow light (snap snap go the cameras). Avgjoe is sent a ticket. "Hey I can fight this..."
Do the math if Avgjoe committed a serious crime he could be tracked to the minute if needed. If Avgjoe was Avgjoe do gooder who happened to be a politician who pissed off other politician, do gooder Avgjoe's information could also be abused.
You want what privacy or ease of use? Privacy? Dump your credit cards, and all other forms of digital clutter so you can complain less, unless you're just a whiner complaining while typing this with a what? UID... Ah yea a UID.
That's quite a deal you ended up getting at 50 rupees. Would you like to sell your guide to me for 2,678,600.00 Turkish liras? That should definitely be enough for you to be able to purchase yourself some nice Star Trek phaser replicas there guy.

Oh sorry low blow. Maybe links to Freshmeat and Sourceforge should be bookmarked for them too eh? Wait I know... When that really cool program for *nix comes out and the developer gets tired of... developing... Then what? Repeat steps 1 and 2?
I'm glad I only use MS for recreation, games and music editing (Rebirth), otherwise I stick with Solaris and FreeBSD for Alphas. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see MS pummeled to White Castle status (White Castle cheap rip of McDonalds for those who don't know), but again... It's not going to happen this decade.
Nobody needs Funny I don't recall stating anyone NEEDS to. What I posted is straightforward. Do you think for one second, corporate Joe Blow from Kokomo gives a rat's ass how something is done as long as it's done? Time is money in business, and no major corporation is going to rush out and migrate thousands of workers over to *Nix for the sake of... For the sake of what?
Corp. bigwigs want results fast bottom line, and sure there server farms may run AIX, Solaris, HPUX, etc., it wouldn't be economical for them to make some outrageous move. Do the math...
Training (it will take some time for even the experienced learners to migrate) let's avg this to say a week... A week's salary. Let's lowball that salary to $25k per year, split between say 1000 workers for a decent sized business. $250,000.00 just for training (lowballed) those 'experienced' users. Cost in lost sales, productivity because they're not used to it? I won't go there...
Now, tech's to migrate those Winboxes over to *Nix. (Those same secretaries...) 1000 boxes at about a half an hour each downtime... (Monies lost not calculated) Tech getting paid (lowballed) 45k per year... 500 hours... Should I go on?
Get real it's not going to happen at least in this decade. You could bitch all you want but facts are facts, MS won't be going anywhere for a while. Fire the secretary for not knowing. Bring on the next one and sit her in front of KDE, Blackbox, then bitch at her all day because... Because what? She doesn't understand wtf *Nix is? Sure... You'll be running through farms of secretaries there buddy.
perhaps we've learned some lessons on how to effectively deal with an unethical monopoly.
We already know they've done their deeds, but the fact remains, corporations allowed them to create this early on. It's much easier for a secretary to open up a silly paper clip and tell her how to print. Can you imagine, or even ponder trying to get millions of them to:
vi/tmp/report
pico/tmp/report
sed 's/error/correction/g' report > revised
awk '{print $1}' spreadsheet
Sure there's Open Office and a slew of alternatives, and there is also the cost factor of migrating to an alternative. It would cost billions, and take years. So whether people like it or not, MS isn't going anywhere for some time, and it's only a matter of time before Israel is still going to have to pay the piper via legacy costs.
How much downloading do you think your mom and pop dialup will be able to support? With the right equipment you'd be surprised. Doesn't take much more than a couple of Cisco 6500's, some TNT's, and a nice connection you know
For those who also work in the ISP business you may want to add to this or correct me. Dial-up access is still a money maker. At least on the east coast it is. ISP is a losing market of course unless you're Verizon. Reason for this statement is obvious. As a DSL provider, you're going through Verizon's lines, and when the shit hits the fan, don't expect them to do much if you're a reseller.
This leaves exactly how many big players in the dialup market? Dialup is still the only option in many places. ISP's are literally still fighting for business in the dial-up segment, and there are some big money makers: United Online (who owns Juno, Netzero, etc.), Earthlink, and others. Everyone tries their own niche, United Online touts faster dial up service through the use of modem inits, etc., but dial up is a money maker.
As for MSN not making money... Answer, might sound trollish, but they suck. I work at an ISP right now and have heard horror stories from former MSN customers, and have to sometimes deal with people who have WebTV. Instead of focusing on taking over everything in site, MS should focus on creating something secure.

Lindows saw an opportunity to capitalise on the ruling by getting Microsoft to pay for users to have Lindows software and hardware; undoubtedly too bitter a pill for Microsoft to take.

you're absolutely right, but unlike segment, if you took a good look at the site, and use common judgement, there is way too much 'blame the jew' going on, segment doesn't hate anyone no matter how sarcastic and moronic they are. So if that's your cup of tea more power to you.

supposedly DoD was looking into the functions of the chips because they were able to pinpoint a soldiers location anywhere, as well as monitor their vital signs. It wasn't only for ID'ing purposes
A surprise decision by the Food and Drug Administration permits the use of
implantable ID chips in humans, despite an FDA investigator's recent public
reservations about the devices.
The FDA sent chip manufacturer Applied Digital Solutions a letter stating
that the agency would not regulate the VeriChip if it
was used for "security, financial and personal identification or safety
applications," ADS said Tuesday.
But the FDA has not determined whether the controversial chip can be used
for medical purposes, including linking to medical
databases, the company added...
Supposedly, (supposedly) DoD was looking into this as a replacement for military dogtags, and the BOP (Bureau of Prisons) was supposedly looking into it. Now sounds far fetched but according to the companies press releases: September 29, 2003 - Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced technology development company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip Corporation, has retained the services of Stanley "Stan" L. Reid, a longtime technology industry executive and former congressional aide with extensive experience and wide contacts in Washington, D.C., to market VeriChip(TM) secure identification solutions to federal agencies.
...
Since 1996, Mr. Reid has served as president of Strategic Sciences, a Washington, D.C.-area consulting firm that specializes in marketing advanced technologies to the federal government. Mr. Reid has particular expertise in selling new, introductory technologies to government agencies, including the Departments of Defense (DoD), Energy (DoE) and State, as well as the agencies that have been incorporated into the Department of Homeland Security.
