SPF is for email, not *general* DNS operations like web browsing, ftp, etc. so it would have zero usage in DNS hijacking and actually might make it easier in some regards to send spam through a hijacked DNS server.
" How much hard checking do these CA's really do?"
Quite a bit actually. I quote Godaddy.com's Wildcard High Assurance 256bit SSL Cert "The Validation Process verifies: domain name and domain control; identity and authority of requesting person or company". I think some of the personal verification steps include credit reports and the like. Funny that I was JUST thinking of this last night.
I'd think that'd be covered under the guise of common sense. Carry the scanner or laptop/cuecat with you in a specified place(like say your backpack that has a day's change of clothes in it or whatever). Also IF you put them in a box when moving, since you're likely to be labelling while loading then that box will tend to be the last box put on the truck thereby making it even easier to find. Surely you can think of a way to label THAT box so it will stand out of the crowd.(Markers, colored tape..)
I'm sure this is meant to be some form of sarcasm but it has to be said that there are millions of reasons to print barcodes. Any store that sells anything that doesn't already come with a UPC has a use. If you're moving, labelling boxes with them can get you a full inventory inside instead of "this came from the Kitchen", which is useful if you just moved in and want to know where your forks are.
The thing to really consider is that these scams increase at this time of year because of the rush of all the cashiers to get you out of their store and the long hours that they work tire them and make the mind dull.
Now, what really sucks is there was a way for this kid to prove plausible deniability. All he had to do was put the barcodes on SEVERAL of the things but only buy one.
I have no clue what relevance the first part of your message is supposed to bear but..ooookaaaaaay... I also never said once that I spoke for all of the fans of the Dead. I hope it wasn't your intention to make me look as though I am. However 5,500+ signatures collected on an online petition means I'm not remotely alone and I can imagine that since this only took a week, you'll likely find your numbers are gonna be way off.
How can Phil lose a battle that the Dead had been winning all this time? Who is more powerful in this situation, the Grateful Dead, or their fans? They'd be Nowheresville without their fans. Piss them, even just SOME of them, and you lose.
Think of it as if you had video showing Mother Teresa beating starving children with a broomstick. No matter how much good you think she did, you have that image stuck in your mind. Would you still want to give her money or would you give to her friend, who you saw stop the beatings and who also has an organization to help children?
Now, is it really fickle fandom or are 3 members of the band being fickle? Deciding to support someone who continues to share your vision isn't being "fickle"; deciding to remove recordings and then deciding to restore some of them after receiving backlash IS fickle.
All of the shows are available for download but not all of the pristine recordings of those shows. So it's not quite the same. Listen to your CD's with earplugs on shitty speakers. Same thing to me.
Morals of the 70's!?!? Give ME a break. You mean the same morals that taught that "free love" really means free sex? Or maybe the morals that turned the yippies into yuppies? Or sold rock and roll not to the devil but to corporate America? Yeah, we need more of those to make sure we have no more depth to us than a piece of paper.
I should be used to this by now, having my ideals shattered but this is ridiculous. If it weren't for Phil in all this, I'd be selling all my Grateful Dead merchandise right now. As it stands I think I have some Mickey Hart CD's that I want to give away. Really.
Bob, Bill, Mickey, I had great respect for you but now I think it's time you guys move on as it's gone now and there's really no way to get it back. Don't expect any sales of your collaborative works as I refuse to support you should you decide to try this again.
Phil, be prepared for a rise in merchandise sales. You sir, show great integrity both in your music and in your belief system and for that you will be rewarded.
Well, seeing as how I used to manage an ISP, I can tell you that IP addresses are like gold. They surely aren't free to us, why should they be free to the end user?
Have you ever tried to use a VOIP connection over one of those "easy to use" broadband routers? I'm experienced and I still can't get a friends Belkin to work. Now, try setting up two of them on the same IP. I'll rent you the gun and sell you the bullet cause you'd sooner kill yourself than deal with it usually.
IPv6 doesn't rule out the use of routers and private subnets, AFAIK, just widens the numberspace, so what's your point again?
I'm getting a Nintendo DS. I know it's not the "latest and greatest" but they have for years handled issues with copy protection rather eloquently I think. I mean, not every Tom, Dick(oops, didn't mean to bring Sony into this), and Harry has an interface to copy the original, the N64 or the DS's cartridges, and they used a proprietary system for the GameCube's drive so that not just anyone with a CD/DVD burner could copy them.
I also like the fact that they are fairly kid oriented, I know cause we got our GameCube when my brother in law discovered that they don't have a lot of bloody first person shooters. Then my sister got a job at Nintendo doing marketing and she confirmed that they have a few but nothing compared to the other consoles. I have nothing against first person shooters but my kids haven't learned about gun safety yet so I don't want them to think that shooting people is cool just yet.
"(also converted into mechanical energy normally via 'compression brake, which raises pressure inside of cylinders by cycling valves at the 'wrong' times, which makes the engine do more work to get the same w (or it slows down))."
You know what? I think that what you are talking about already exists. It's called Jacob's Engine Brake AKA a "Jake Brake". That "waaaaahddubbadubbadubba" sound that you hear when they let off the accel, the only one that's quite different from the turbo-whine that's present most other times, is probably a Jake Brake. If you look carefully, in areas like NYC or places with long tunnels, there'll be signs saying truckers are forbidden to use these because of the noise factor...they are LOUD, you just don't realize it cause the sound isn't bouncing back down onto your car most of the time.
My dad was a master diesel mechanic and a part-time trucker; what can I say..I picked up on a thing or two.
I don't know about NASA having it but I was commissioned to do a form of demo 3D animation about 12 years ago for a dentist who had been working on a chewing gum that would keep your teeth from being uneven(basically by acting as sandpaper and filing down the high points..I never fully understood it because it also protected the enamel somehow). He apparently got it patented and there were several other chewing gums that served other purposes that he learned about while getting the patent. Wrigley's was supposed to be buying it but around that time my "agent" ripped me off and I never got to complete the project.
Anyway, it's not like Trident, etc. are any better at cleaning the teeth than regular bubble gum is.
Well, I have first hand experience from experimenting on a device that makes you feel motion that had me seeing flashes of light when I turned the levels all the way up. Admittedly that's not injecting images into my visual cortex, but other than being hit in the head REALLY hard, I've never seen such a thing before.
Considering that they've been injecting audio into our brains(yes, I have one of those too) for ages now I don't see that they have much choice but to finish developing the technologies.

No,(and no such thing as a "licensed" one) but if you're serious, I can probably find a magician in your area. I prefer mentalism(psychic entertainment without the delusional thinking that makes someone from NYC think they have a Jamaican accent) and what they're now calling "street magic"; I also dig running "short cons" but nothing that gets me anything more than a free drink every now and again.

I guess that those of you who play that "puzzle" haven't yet realized that, no matter how hard they seem, there is a SIMPLE mathematical equation to it, huh. If they have a gameshow about that stupid thing, I'd be the grand-freakin'-master cause I can solve them in a few seconds thanks to one of my magician friends(I too am a magician) who was big into mathematical magic and that "puzzle" was one of them.
No, I won't teach you cause if they do start a gameshow..I'M GETTIN' PAID!!
How many of these "Satanists", by your definition, do you talk to on a daily basis? Ever meet one? Know of someone who has a cousin who met that was not some retarded teenie vampyre cult wannabe? I never have met one even once though I have a ton of friends who dig LaVey. Everything else is Geraldo Rivera-style media hype. Don't believe the hype!!
Ya know, I've been a member of this site for 2 years...I'll be damned if I know how to email someone here...heh. Can I reach you through the phoenixgarage site?
no seriously...I do. Back a few years ago there was an invention that was released called MotionWare aka Virtual Motion. It worked with 3 electrodes: one on your forehead and 2 on the mastoid process, that boney region behind your ears(sound familiar?). It affects the inner ear. Forward, backward, left, right, and if the visuals were good, up and down. There were apparently less than 100 prototypes built...I have one. Often thought of selling it to someone who would use it better than I since my original plan fell through. I might be glad I kept it.
I did get an interesting effect from it: due to the high resistance of my skin I have to turn the device WAY up to get any response and during the strongest pulses, I saw flashes of light that were not present outside of my optic nerve(it wasn't arcing in other words).
Anyway, as I read the article, it's less about remote control humans and more about being able to affect what they are feeling which is scary but with this version they'd have to sneak up on you and covertly put these things on your skull...with good electrode contact..and probably lube to prevent burning. If it does use the same technology as what I have then you need to know that there are 3 different ways(at least) that we sense motion and the inner ear is only one. The other two are visual and the type of feeling you get in your joints when you accelerate on, say, a bus; this is aka proprioceptive I think. If they didn't have something that would give you a slightly harder time to keep your balance(we used the Tempurpedic(tm) memory foam because it shifts acording to the weight and temperature. Without this, you don't feel any shift in your joints so if your visual environment didn't move either, you'd mostly discard the signal. It's because of the "rule" of 'virtual reality': you have to fool 2 of the 3 ways we sense motion for the brain to accept it as real. And despite all this, with a slight amount of concentration, you can see through the illusion. Maybe what they have is different..I'll have to research to find out now.
First, I live in a redneck town and I don't see puddles of gasoline on the ground which would be the equivalent to what you are saying. We see oil, transmission fluid and antifreeze but those are not part of the fuel system. A fuel leak people tend to fix because one spark, say from the lack of muffler, in the wrong place equals no more beat-up-Ford-pickup.
Secondly, if it's magnesium oxide, it's used in agriculture, among other places, and if it's magnesium hydroxide(considering the heat and presence of hydrogen), then it'd result in little more than milk of magnesia. Not a worry.
You've nailed it. That's the perfect(and smart) response to their retarded ideas. I realized when this began that I would never again buy from a major record label that sued its fanbase, no matter how much I like the music. I also realized that the way to keep them from using me as a statistic was to NOT download their music, no matter how much I liked it.
Spread your meme..maybe the search engines will hear it and we'll watch a paradigm shift happen in the industry.
The really, really short version: The Grateful Dead!!! That's all you need to think about!!!
The short version: Bands like the Grateful Dead, Phish, The Black Crowes, and many, MANY others are financially successful not only in spite of but especially because of the fact that they allow(ed) copying of their music by their fans. Without it, Metallica would be unknown. That is all the proof you really need right there.
The version that you probably wanted to hear since in terms of words you seem to think that quality is in direct proportion to quantity:
I started designing, engineering, building and operating light, sound and video equipment on tour(more than "the tri-state area")with many bands professionally since I was 14 years old, which would make it well over 20 years ago. I have autographed pictures of myself with Ice-T's band Body Count(Cop Killer..whatta controversy) after I repaired their light system when they were in town and likely my "junk drawer" could be worth more than your house in electrical equipment alone thanks to my career so I'm not the one in fantasy land.
Not a single band I worked with would ever deny a fan a copy of a song especially if they knew they made a devoted fan and neither did the Grateful Dead...nor Phish...The Black Crowes; you think they couldn't have major cash from record sales?!?!? How did they have such great financial success and still not care if their songs were copied? Cause when you're making $14-$59(each) on the ticket/CD/DVD/boxset/tshirt/thong/beer mug at the show instead of the $1.50/CD $5/DVD, if it's even that high these days, that the record company will pay you after all the production costs, attorney fees, etc. it really adds up. And when you're like Metallica, you get a percentage of the vendors' sales too...beer..gooood!! Even after all the expenses of travelling, etc. it pays the bills much better; an artist signs with a label for the exposure, because they realize that even if they go platinum, they make $250,000 each for a 4 person band, but if they tour, they will make a lot more thanks to the exposure, selling copies of their old CD's too, you know, the ones they had made for $1/each including packaging, selling for $17.50, more than double what they charged 3 months before that.
You want some rare songs you ain't finding on iTunes? Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters on Craig Kilborn's old show playing "Stairway to Heaven". There is no better version of that song.
Now, excuse me, I'm going back to my real life and I'm gonna just let you have the last word since it's obvious that's your desire.

Some inventory is a bit more complex than that.

Don't. Use pulse instead, it will actually cost them more for you to use it. Seriously. They'll reform that quickly enough.
