If bosses were supposed to be experts in what all departments do... why the hell are there departments or emloyees....
I think that if the MPAA refused to rate a film over something like that they would be hit with an anti-trust lawsuit so fast their head would come right f---ing off
Since the Site finder breaks some anti-spam tools and makes web admins jobs more difficult due to every address having an IP address returned it cannot be considered an "innovation" a new type of computer that ran a little faster but messes with the voltage on the power line so that other devices would'nt work right wouldn't be an innovation, it would be a piece of crap, as is site finder
putting serial numbers on single frames probable wouldn't be very useful.... the image of the numbers would probably get destroyed by the compression.... now watermarking the serial numbers in such a way as to be undetectable to human eyes but show up as a serial number displayed in sequence across the entire frame once compressed, perhapse even putting the serial in different types of watermark on different parts of the movie in order to ensure that any "current" video compression codec would show the serial after compression. Now i will shut my f-ing mouth before i give them any more ideas
That is a much cooler Idea, it could build off the whole "humans use 15% of their brain" thing too...using humans for bio-energy would be horrible inefficient, however a beowulf cluster where each computer (brain) was more powerful than every computer on earth would be a nearly infinite source of computrons
That problem of storing up an assload of commands and unleashing them all at once is also present on my DVR (sort of like TiVo) it is very annoying to try to fas foreward through a set of commecials and end up getting sent all over the recording because the machine decides to take random amounts of time to execute commands from the command queue, it should be simple to make the box have a *small* queue (2-3 commands) and an overflow command either being dropped or triggering a queue flush in order to allow the user to regain control sooner when the control system craps out.
IANAL: The other side of the coin is that often darknets have encryption and other access controlls which spying on would surely require hacking/cracking which is a criminal offence (and using a password disclosed by someone not authorized to give out passwords is also illegal) so as long as the people in charge are careful about who they give the passwords to the RIAA would be in a tough spot to sue anyone based on information that they would have had to commit federal crimes to obtain.
Want to know a Secret.... The only reason ICANN and Verisign have any control is that people agree to use them as the basis for DNS, anyone who wants to could set up a network of DNS servers with names identical to those that exist on existing DNS servers that point to totally different websites and there would be nothing illegal about that.

Sun on the other hand seems to be playing into the SCO "indemnification" FUD with a new java license?
I Don't think Sun is playing it up so much as ensuring that SCO's Pile of Bull doesnt get on the shoes of potential customers on the way in the door
I'm just running windoze on my PC in my dorm but i haven't had any problems with worms due to frequent patching and a combination of a NAT and software firewall (zone alarm) I don't see why corporate networks were affected by blaster... all ports not needed should be closed between the Internet and the Intranet
I've been saying that for quite a while... eventually someone is going to come to their last $1000 and, rather than throw it to a lawyer will buy an AK47 and a crate of ammo. then they walk into the RIAA headquarters and start spraying bullets in every direction. either that or a bag of fertilizer and some gas.
on a different note the riaa web site seems to not be thouroughly/.'d yet, How about everybody picking a different page on their site and making it their homepage
i found this interesting quote on their web page regarding how to spot pirated CD's
The record label is missing or it's a company you've never heard of.
It has cheaply made insert cards, often without liner notes or multiple folds.
sounds like they want us to believe that all legitamate music is made by them..
The sound quality is often poor or inconsistent.
no... that is RIAA music for sure
Wow that was so wonderfully evil linking to an.asp page on the riaa's web page... somebody is going to have to pour some water on their server.
click that link a few times

The Brain of the robot would have to be the size of a planet, and it would inevitably be depressed and named Marvin.
under the links someone posted the memos themselves....

No free CD's.... they will cost a few cents each, will be available in packs of 10, 30, 50, and 100, also you fill them yourself :p

I never said that the 15% thing was true... i just said it could be a premise for a different take on the matrix...

It's good to know that ICANN has at least a little backbone left. I for one welcome our ICANN overlords
Don't put money in your mouth, don't you know that money is one of the filthiest things in the world.... almost as fithy as SCO and the RIAA
What would be cool is a FLAC based music service... the files would be bigger but it would be free of both IP encumberance and quality loss.
