I read that article. Its just a bunch of ranting and raving by a madman. 'Free World'? I don't care. All I want is the software that I like to work how I want it - the source code is a major major bonus, but I don't stop using the nvidia drivers because they disagree with my stomach contents - they are useful, and (famous last words?) they aren't going to be open sourced any time soon - theres too much IP and trade secrets involved
What the hell happened to the vaunted 'Do No Evil' of Google a few years back? The past year or two have seen Google become more and more evil, all probably due to the IPO a couple of years ago - Google is now owned by the shareholders, and the only pragmatic thing for corporations to do is to be evil, as being nice makes no money so the shareholders start complaining.
Google will become the next Microsoft before too long...
If the flash part of the drive can be accessed seperately to the platter part it would seem like an ideal place to put/boot or/lib/ld-linux.so etc - libraries that are loaded on every boot. This could seriously speed up the boot time, the disk might not even have to spin up at all during bootup.
It would also be ideal for laptop systems to save power...
So, why not apply this to humans? We're all going to die sometime, so just ignore welfare and get rid of all the hospitals. In fact, we might as well all jump off a bridge now and save everyone the trouble
1. Symlink.bash_history to a file on a tmpfs
2. Create encrypted loopback file, put stuff on it
3. dd output of/dev/random into 2 seperate files, sized differently
4. cat the random data and encrypted file together
That way, not only do they have to decrypt it, but work out where exactly the encrypted part of the file is in the first place. To get the file back, you just have to remember the sizes of the two random segments at the start and end of the disk, dd it onto a tmpfs, then decrypt as normal.
well, I can time skip, record programs, record to dvd, record series etc fine using a sky+ box. The only problem is that you need to buy a satellite dish with it
What if microsoft refuses to pay up? What's the EU going to do then? They can't really stop microsoft products being sold in the EU, there would be a europe-wide riot. If ms refuses to pay, the EU wont be able to do a thing.
So, in return for them being one of the first gfx card makers to release OSS driver, possibly starting an OSS revolution in the graphics card/hardware industry, we melt their web server?
Of course, by doing this, they are seriously putting off anyone who would actually want to do legitimate research into this, as they'll have to pay Sony a whole heap of licensing costs to even start researching it. Are they stopping innovation/invention in this field entirely?
That does emply one extra layer of security - cat the encoded file onto a block of random data, then when you want to access the encrypted stuff, use dd to get the blocks that are actual data and put it on a tmpfs, then decrypt as normal. They'll have to work out where the random data ends and the encrypted data starts before they can actually start to decrypt it
The prophesies exist in the Jewish Bible as well. The Jews wouldnt let the Christians fiddle with their Bible would they?
Some of the prophesies involved the place of birth, the method of death, specific details of his life that would have been impossible to emulate by anyone other than the real Messiah. People would have noticed if someone had gone around and changed all their gospels, and if someone had changed it there would be some remenants of the 'old' Christianity and so two Christian religions. What about the distance seperating the copies? They were spread all over the eastern Med. It wasnt that easy to travel back then you know
The Bhagavad Gita has no prophesy in it that has actually come true, nothing to root it to history. The Bible has. The same for Taoism. Again, if the gospel accounts hadn't been true to what had really happened, they would have bene very quickly rubbished and dismissed by the Jews and Romans, and everyone would have ignored them as a nice fiction, yet they are still around 2000 years later. And again, it would have been almost impossible to change every single copy of the gospels in the world 100 years after Jesus died if someone had wanted to change it.
sorry, typo, 20-30 years after he died. That would be 53-63AD If the tomb was still occupied no one would have believed the early christians and it wouldn't have spread. People like Saul would have told everyone around Jerusalem that Jesus was still dead. How was Saul, one of the most fervant hunters of christians, be convinced to become a Christian then? How would they have rolled the stone away? It was a big stone, you need lots of people to roll it in place, let alone roll it back out again. Explain how Jesus appeared to lots of people after his death Jesus was the 'son' of a carpenter. They dont have any status at all. Bethlehem is an insignificant town in Nazareth. Jesus didn't toss of the roman oppressors, although people wanted that. If he wanted power, he would have gone against the Romans. But he didnt. Dead people dont get up on their own you know, its not that regular an occurance...
And yet Jesus manages to fulfil over 300 old testament prophesies that were fixes several centuries before Jesus was born. The probability of someone fulfilling 48 of these prophesies is 10^157. And before you start on 'the christians altered it to fit!', these people died for their beliefs. Why would the origional disciples, who would have been the ones to start the rumors, die for something they knew was a lie? Who would have any reason to change Jesus' story to fit with all these prophesies? How would they have changed it several hundred years after his death, as there were hundreds of copies of the gospels by then. The darkness that fell over the earth at Jesus' crucifixion is mentioned in a book written by the Roman historian Thallus and a greek chronologist called Phlegon
Anyway, I can imagine J. Random Roman saying "Think I'll start walking to Jerusalem, it's only 1,400 miles, see if any of these guys are still alive (if they existed in the first place) and can answer a few questions, maybe straighten out some of the contradictions in these `gospel' stories from this `Christos' cult. 'Cause I know they just love talking to random people from the city-state that's occupying their land and oppressing their people." Riiiight.
What about the Jews in Jerusalem? Thats where Christianity started anyway. They would have loved any chance to disprove what these new christians were saying, but they couldn't
And, explain Saul's conversion. He was one of the most fervant people against Christians, yet on the road to Damascus he suddenly became a Christian (technically in Damascus itself). Explain please.
The letters of Paul date from ~20-30AD. Do you know how much opposition the early Christians faced from the Jews and Romans? After the ressurection, the Jews didnt say 'the tomb is still occupied, see?', they said 'They've stolen the body!'. Therefore Jesus' body was gone. It wasnt stolen, as that would be completely pointless (jesus' disciples were completely mortified that Jesus was dead), and if they stole it why would they be willing to die for what they knew was a lie?
The gospels were written minimum 20 years after Jesus died. There are specific people mentioned in the gospels, especially Luke's. People who disbelieved could have checked with those people whether the incidents mentioned actually took place. The earliest copied of the gospels we have are far too early for any mythology to be put into them (it takes minimum of 4 generations for any mythology to even start to be woven into a story). Therefore the gospels are true, and Jesus did perform miracles, forgive sins, die on the cross and resurrect as described. You make your own conclusions.

How will they find the identities of the people who post anonymously to prosecute them?
