If they can read them, then they can upload them somewhere else. They don't NEED an iPod or USB key. Kapesh?
if you are working in such a place that doesn't want you taking files out on USB devices, what makes you think you have access to upload them outside of their network, or access to email them out into the wild?
The dedicated can always do something to circumvent. This "solution" by MS is either a small part of a larger set of security checks or for detering the quick steal. I don't see it as a "hack" to fix a broken OS at all.
This has nothing to do with a bad OS. If a user has read access to files at work, then they can copy them to other things, no? Sometimes a company will want to control their data. Is that a bad thing? Maybe MS is reacting to user or sysadmin demands. Is that a bad thing?
that's exactly, *exactly*, how i felt. i saw it anyway, and i'm glad. I still think moore is self serving, and i still don't like bush. but it was important to see for a lot of reasons.
doom3.zip is a 114kb freeware DOS game from 1988 I knew Doom3 was a dupe!
In other news, much to the surprise of 3D Realms developers, pirated copies of Duke Nukem Forever have been leaked onto the Internet. When asked to comment, 3D Realms public relations said, "We have no idea how this happened. Development officially came to a halt in early 2000."
Is ANYONE that's gotten one of these ever going to call them on this bullshit and have them sent to jail for perjury?
If one were to do that, imagine what you would go through. They would try to get a warrant to search though all your past ISP records, trying to determine if you ever did download or redistribute anything. They would have your personal equipment seized, and we all know how easy it is to get that stuff back based on the BBS raids of old.
What else would you have to do to prepare to pick this fight?
I don't even see any non-digital cable options in my neck of the woods. Maybe they just don't advertise them *at all* or say they are available. digital seems to start at ~$40 here. rip off.
Because when you look at a monthly cable bill of $100 or more, you get a feeling in your gut that you're being taken. I might be paying more to have separate t.v. and internet providers (hey, i don't actually have cable t.v. yet. I just moved and I am trying to get the important things taken care of first. like DSL), but i feel better paying who I want to pay for the services I want. That's much better than paying whoever is easy and getting what they decide to allow.
Whatever happened to $20 for basic cable? "Digital" ads $30 value to it? i don't think so.
I'd rather support the services offered by speakeasy even if a little more expensive than hand TimeWarner another dollar to allow me to be a lowly interweb user. I'll judge T.V. providers for the services and price they offer as well.
And for those who are wondering. I signed up for Speakeasy and mentioned the OSDN promotional offer. I had service up and running in 6 days without a hitch. this is in NYC for those interested.
Since IIRC the EU courts at least have concluded that loading something into RAM for the purposes of displaying it or running it comprises an act of copying.
Unfortunately I cannot read the conclusions of that session, since doing so would load a web page into RAM and thus I would be breaking the law.
pssht. The web needs to go black for a day in protest of legislators heads up their asses. by black, i mean out. no info being displayed. it's the techies who are being affected by the legislation, but the legislators don't realize the techies have access to the giant red off button every day.
What kind of pathetic headline is that? When did MS say "MS not expected secure until 2011"?!?! This is called sensationalist GARBAGE, people! Stop putting this swill up as headline material.
MS has been preaching this security initiative for 2 or 3 years, that brings us back to around 2001. Now they say it's a 10 year plan. 2001 + 10 = 2011.
Based on MS's past performance, we can extrapolate a timeline from their behavior and make a decision to purchase or not from that.
Slashdot Mirror
Are they going to require current users to upgrade their box if they want to keep using the service? I see no mention of it in the article.
If not, I think I'll go out and buy a Tivo this weekend.
Why? To support the company now who will screw you over tommorow? I understand your motive, but find other options.
What about HBO or any of the other "Premium" channels? they do not have such windows.
Me too, and I instantly had flashbacks to my EQ days. Mmmm EverCrack.

The only bad thing is that this is "news worthy".
er, opengl.org that should be. not opengl.com, though that will take you to opengl.org anyway. alas, just clicky clicky
The OpenGL Programming Guide is available from opengl.com in electronic form. It's an older edition, but i have been using it anyway.

free whites: 301856
free blacks: 8105
slaves: 54
so about 2.7% of the population was black in 1840's Connecticut, assuming all 54 slaves were black.

of course it's the last thing, the thing buried deepest in the depths of the article that the average person won't get to.
ATI is not committed to supporting Linux
I don't even see any non-digital cable options in my neck of the woods. Maybe they just don't advertise them *at all* or say they are available. digital seems to start at ~$40 here. rip off.
still shopping for some t.v. service...

I'll hand in my nerd ID card if you so deem it necessary, but I for one amd damn tired of anything related to HHGTTG.
yes, it was sarcasm.
Indymedia is one of the few remaining grassroots information outlets left on the internet, free from corporate money, sleaziness and lies.

Yeah, someone throw the POV-Ray benchmark at it and post results at the povray benchmark website
you probably already have that just to run Doom3, so quitcherbitchin!
our "virtual employees" have been outsourced to India. we're all sitting on the floor drawing maps to the unemployment office with chalk and charcoal.
damn, I forgot the overzealous use of "hippie" "quotes", revision follows:
So you're saying the lava lamp switching "on" means it's time to "fix" things, as apposed to taking a "kind" smoke break?
conflicting reports are "rising" from the "break" room.
