I think, the point astrashe made is that soon every public space will be watched via cameras by a mass of citizens. Imagine, you are on a public place and you know that maybe hundreds of people are watching you - not only a few professional law enforcement people. My neighbor, my girlfriend, my parents, my friends and anyone else can see me nose-picking. I don't care if some officer sees me nose-picking or whatever, because I think he sees a lot of people doing strange and embarrassing stuff, but I don't want that "ordinary people" can see me.
Sometimes, you want to be alone even if you are on a public place.
eAccelerator was born in December 2004 as a fork of the Turck MMCache project. Turck MMCache was created by Dmitry Stogov and much of the eAccelerator code is still based on his work.
But it would've been nice to see a comparision between MMCache and eAccelerator as well.
This is actually true. It was a very slow day for the INS/CBP as they went for a fishing tour through the baggage claim area and "selected" a few poor guys. One of them was me. At the end of the day (11 pm) they collected a bunch of people. I overheared a conversation between a low level officer and its supervisor (if you've ever been at the office of the CBP at LAX, you'd know how easy it is) and the supervisor said something that leads to the conclusion that they actually have something like a quota.
Let us count: SSN, names(3), credit card parameters: (number, expiration, zip code, ok give it 5), altogether hardly more than 20 even if I missed something.
Home address, destination address and phone number, gender...
A few weeks ago, you were asked for those informations at the destination airport in the US. Since a few weeks, you're asked at the departure airport in the EU. You have to provide the information at the check-in counter. If you can't provide an address in the US, because you just don't know at this moment, you're basically screwed.
In general EU citizens get their visas in customs, after having landed in the US, and US citizens get the same treatment in the EU. That's always struck me as odd, actually; what if they refuse you a visa? You've flown all that way for nothing?
Yes. If they refuse to give you a visa, you have to fly back. It actually happens thousands of times a year. An officer at LAX told me, that it happens about six times a day at this airport.
oes anyone think that US will start banning flights or threaten to remove financial aid if the data isn't shared?
Well, EU-citizens don't have to fly to the US... If the US would start to ban flights from the EU, it would hurt the US much more than the EU. Financial aid?
I can really speak from my own experience. Just do it. You don't have to keep the job until the end of your life. And it could be refreshing for your partnership as well.
Its time for the encryption phones to start appearing on the market.
That is exactly what my company is offering: IAX2/SIP (Asterisk) over VPN (FreeS/WAN, OpenVPN). It's getting easier to convince businesses to use encrypted communication channels nowadays.
My blog network forum is based completely on the comments of others -- I even pay my readers who give me the best comments. Their input on my writings is what gives me MORE information to sell at a higher price to those willing to pay for my knowledge. Why should I stop others from using my works to create new opinions that I can learn from?
In the long run, trying to protect your creative works will be a losing process. I use my previous creations to gain new customers who appreciate the information that I don't share. That is the product/service I sell, and I use my years of writing to show a history of original opinion and beliefs. Anything I write for public consumption is merely a marketing tool to get people to hire me for real face-time -- I could care less if someone else found a better way to make money with my thoughts. Most of my thoughts are based on a lifetime of reading and thinking about what others say.
I love when people plagiarize me. In the long run it builds my credibility even if they don't reference me as the original writer. I'd rather find free market solutions (such as the one I outlined above) rather than find penalties for the copying. If someone discovers that the person they respect didn't write the content on their own, the market fixes this by making the reader not read the plagiariser anymore. Easy solution.
Plagiarism is "OK" is some circles -- do a Google News search and see how many big named media outlets just regurgitate each others' news. Boring. Bloggers do the same thing, but many put a unique spin on the original writer's ideas.
I believe the best way to "fix" plagiarism isn't to make it more illegal or immoral, but to work on a free market and open system where content creators can submit their creations to be cataloged as "the first." Let others copy it, but Google or another toolbar can easily flag a new creation as "very similar to another." Imagine if the Google toolbar had a "% of originality" for every site you visit (or every paragraph to highlight with your mouse). This could work for lyrics, guitar tabs, writings, opinion, news articles, etc.
For me as a writer, I love to know that people are reading me and replying to me -- that is my "profit" in the short term -- reader input. I tend to make up my own words that I write with, in order to see who might be copying me fully. I then look at what people say about their "writings", too. One such word I created was unanimocracy, but I've invented a few other phrases that are easily searched, too.
I'm an anti-copyright advocate who sees more power in releasing my information for free to the ether of the Internet. Not only do I not copyright my blog posts, e-books and music, I openly request others to copy it and even put their own name on it. I've realized that once I put something into easily copied form, it will be copied. It might be partially used, fully mimiced, or completely turned upside down, yet I've also found that the more I am copied, the more people tend to find out that I am the original author.

shipping beige boxes to Microsoft specs is going to damage their brand even more.
They are black.
Thanks for your detailed report. Will be fixed in one of the next versions of Windows.

*shudder* - That was gross!
Why did this make the frontpage of slashdot?
Because... BEER!
No I can go to bed.
The Indian casino lobby is huge.
It is not only huge, but also dangerous.
What about Turck MMCache?
Ah, I see:
eAccelerator was born in December 2004 as a fork of the Turck MMCache project. Turck MMCache was created by Dmitry Stogov and much of the eAccelerator code is still based on his work.
But it would've been nice to see a comparision between MMCache and eAccelerator as well.

Based on logs i've seen of similar information 2 years of logs would easilly be 26 gbs for a single person.
26 GB is what I generate on one single evening surfing pr0n^H^H^H^Hwikipedia!

Maybe you'll find some answers here.
You're right. It's late over here in Europe...
It seems that he called a local businesswoman a prostitude.

Yeah, no "In Soviet Russia" Joke here.
This is frightening.
It is.
Currently, it's a head-to-head race between the U.S. and the U.K. Germany is getting better, but nevertheless on the third place.
Good old times. -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
Don't know how this should work. First, you'd have a webproxy in your DMZ. Second, how should a spambot be able to send out mails via port 80?
