However if you work out the math it simply isn't plausible to include a seperate key for every HD DVD player that might ever be sold (imagine 128 bits for an AES key).
I don't get that. an AES key is 128 bits long? So there can be 2^128 = 3,42x10^38 AES keys? And if the earth surface is about 509.600.000.000.000km, isn't it possible to have about 667.744.048.118.011.113.546.653,4682727 DVD players (or AES keys if you want) per km of the earth surface? (Just like in IPv6 addresses).
why would any manufacturer in their right mind produce anything under such terms?
what about Sony? (You can't region-unlock a sony player without heavy modification. most other manufacturers just let you hack their devices with special codes)
anyway, that happens mostly in Buenos Aires, the rest of the country is a whole different story. No. We at the "interior" are not "even poorer". Just the porteños are a bunch of lowlifes.
wow pal, you're outdated. the "trueque clubs" never really took off, these were exaggerated by the media (as you know it's typical for local media), the peso is rather strong (it has stabilized in about $3 for USD 1, and it's high only because the central bank keeps it high by buying dollars).
regarding to personal space... well pal, most of us are italian descendents, of course we stand like 1cm from your face, what did you expect?;).
because, communications in Argentina are private. just like in the US, the police can't just go into your home to check for a bomb, or just tap your phone line because you *may* be doing something illegal. For this to happen, you need a court order. This new law demands that everything should be logged, and available to the police whenever they need it, so it means, you're an automatic suspect because you use the phone.
this is funny because the current president is "kind of" left-wing... (he won the election because the other candidate stepped off. they were in a tie).
Local phone calls in Argentina are about USD 0,50 an hour (during the day) and USD 0,10 (night time). We have a "discount" line, the 0610 for internet calls (only HUGE ISPs can offer this service, not smaller ones, or "free ISPs"), and it supposedly cuts the phone prices for 1/2 to 1/3 of a regular call.
I manage an ISP with 100 customers. They make for 25MB a day in our http proxy (transparent, it's a cheap internet service anyway). The biggest carrier has 200.000 users, and according to my numbers, 50GB of http logs every day!
well, starting in June, the biggest ISP (a monopoly!) will cap the downloads to 4GB per month, for 512kbps ADSL (8GB for 1mbit and 12GB for 2mbit). How fucked up is that? Also, around ARS 20 (USD 6,30) per excess GB. that will make a great income to the fucking ISP
as a CCNA i have learnt quite a few things. for starters, not everything can be done on a linux server (no cunt, you cant route 40GBps on a linux server, and that's the smaller cisco 12000 series routing capacity).
before i got into the course, i thought ccna was for idiots (in some regards, i still think that), but i realized that the kind of info i got from that course was very helpful. recently, a client asked me to configure a 2511 dialin server. sure thing, in a few minutes it was set. why? because I got experience in cisco gear, thanks to CCNA. of course, i *could* have googled all that info, or i *could* have used a linux server and a multiport card (what for? a 2511 is cheaper than an pentium with a multiport card, and it takes less time to configure a 2511, and has better uptimes, and no hard drive... etc)
but this is slashdot, basically the know-it-all smartass geek hideout. i was one of you once, but I found out that there is more of networking than your l33t hax0red pimped-up linux box.
of course, I use linux, and it gets along quite OK with Cisco. I manage a WISP, and we run a linux access server (because the cisco solution was way expensive), with 3COM NICs and a Cisco Aironet AP. so what? just that: balance. the aironet 1200 is a top of the line (no pal, your d-link, buffalo or even linksys ap doesn't even compare to it) access point and my linux box runs great. the 1200 was expensive, but it paid for itself, now we have over 120 simultaneous associated stations into that single AP (you can't do that with other APs!), and the linux box authenticates, authorizes and accounts (RADIUS) users, and then proceeds to limit bandwidth for the users.
I, for one, own only 1 piece of cisco hardware: the 677 ADSL modem, which I bought from the telco for $10. have it since 2001 and still runs great.
notice the parent fanboyism got him a +5, and the it's parent anti-fanboyism got him a troll mod. this just proves that slashdot is just full of motherfucking apple cunts.
you know, this is what makes me laugh every time. mac users love their macs (I don't blame them, I love my PC), but they always deny the inexistence of lots of software. Sure, Apple provides many programs, and many software companies also do too. But you can't deny that there are fewer programs for the Mac! After a while, Mac users accept this fact, but try to minimize it by saying "well there IS fewer software, but the software that exists, it's better than the PC's!". Oh, I'm sorry. I thought Photoshop CS for the PC was as good as its OS X counterpart.
Also, you can't deny that there is a HUGE amount of games for PC and FAR fewer games for the Mac. And that's where Mac users can't go with their usual crap about "I prefer better software to more options". I'm sorry, as a gamer, I'll take both. Lots of games, some good, some bad, but a lot to choose from. So they pull one of two cards: the "I don't play games anyway" card or the, "for gaming, I prefer to use a console". Dickhead. I'd like to see you patching a NOCD on a console (non-xbox anyway), or a Trainer (yes, I cheat for fun).
bull. that is a myth. that happened on some satellite that recharged the battery exactly at the same level always. but technology has advanced and even cheap NiCds don't show this behavior. let alone NiMH, Li-ION, etc...
Here's teh proof for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect
If you plug into a dock 3 times a day thay's your Ipod bricked after 2 years.
btw, 2 years is a good lifetime for a rechargeable. you could hardly squeeze more than 3 years.
oh and, I DON'T WANNA READ ANY "I CHARGED MY BATTERY 2 TIMES A DAY AND NOW IT LASTS HALF OF WHAT I USED TO SO THERE IS MEMORY EFFECT" or "MY BATTERY IS 8 YEARS OLD AND STILL WORKS GREAT" because thats just a lot of bullshit.
why do all these apple cunts always have to use words such as "usability", "interface inconsistence", "interaction design".... FACE IT, PAL, IT'S NOT THE INTERFACE, IT'S YOU. YOU'RE JUST STUPID.
Every day you see that Bill Gates was right. I was at a local bookstore and they were selling crappy books for dimes. So I bought among a few, one of Bill Gates' books. It costed $1 and was a good bathroom reading.
Anyway, Bill was already talking about this on that book (from 1995). He was talking about the "information superhighway" --which was not necessarily the internet. Some day houses would have enough bandwidth so everything will come through a sigle wire: phone, cable, movies on demand, and the internet.
Of course I think anyone with a little imagination has thought about that already. I think it would be nice. A single fiber enters your home, and it provides you with HDTV from all over the world, HD-DVD quality movies, cheap CD-quality telephone (or, why not, videophone), and 100 (or 1000, who knows)Mbit of broadband. Not to mention digital radio.
I think i would pay for that kind of service. Or not, because we all know that everything of that will use some kind of broadcast flag. So we would be back to hacked DirecTV cards, region-cracking mechanisms, macrovision removers, broadcast flag removers (for use with Tivos and such). And blue boxes for free phones (i wonder if these will use a 2,6GHz tone instead of 2600?;)

now seriously:
6. judge doesn't understand and you go to jail anyway.
no, logging the addresses i mean, not the contents of websites (that makes approx 5,4GB per day)
Nope, the ISP must provide the data filtered and all.
