As soon as you enlighten us on how to send a directed IP packet without a destination address, I'm sure someone will write a few dozen p2p apps around it.
1) Have your p2p app run in promiscious mode. 2) Sniff traffic and find an IP address on your local network that you can see traffic flowing to. 3) Instead of giving the other p2p nodes your address, give them one of the addresses you found through sniffing. 4) Your P2P app must now scan for all traffic going to the address you gave to the other P2P nodes looking for traffic destined for you. As I understand networking, the computer who's address you're using will be recieving lots of data not intended for it, but it should just end up ignoring all of that. The only time this will be a problem is if it's listening on the same port that the P2P packet is sending to.
Unfortunately, this probably won't work on the internet where the prevalence of NAT Routers etc to access the internet, and that I don't think you can put a cable/dsl modem into promiscious mode.
On a LAN environment free of switches, this has potential, but that's about it.
Well, seeing as since the MPAA has stated that they didn't want to sue end users and have gone after the Trackers and torrent hosts instead.
Since this decentralizes the trackers, what this most means is that the torrent hosting websites (places like suprnova was... hosted torrents but others were trackers) will be hit harder.
It's concievable that Kenosis could be used to host the torrents themselves. At that point, the MPAA could change their mind and start sueing end users ala the RIAA.
If there is a new technology, it's either the military or the porn industry who uses it first, either the killing professionals, or the...you know where this line is leading.
No, they weren't the first. But they were the first to make it fit in an SD package... Digimaster's solution is an SD Card with a usb plug hanging out. This means you'll have to leave the door open on most camera's as there's an extra piece extending from the side...
christ on a crutch does that thing do a hell of a lot of false-positives.
I installed the MS Spyware program today and it identified 35 "items". AdAware found 45, but didn't include all of the 35 that MS had found, just most of them.
The reason? MS found TightVNC, Emule, and a handful of other false positives (6 false possitives in all). None of them were marked for removal by default, though, so at least they know they're false positives...
What are you referring to? I really haven't had problems with Sandisk.
They're SD memory tends to be a fair amount slower than come of the competition. Not a problem if you aren't taking pictures in quick succession, but very noticable on a Palm Pilot. By nature of being SD, they're still faster than the majority of MMC cards but this is a clear instance of "you get what you pay for"
When you share photos with a friend, do you want to give them your camera? Sure you can e-mail them, but it's often easier just to loan them your SD card, especially if they're still on dialup.
by finding twice as many infected files as Ad-Aware and nearly three times as SpyBot.
How many of those are actual infections and how many of those are just seperate files for the same infection?
I've noticed adaware often does this. It says there are 300 infections, but only 3 of them are program executables and only 1 is running. Many of them are cookies, so I suppose those could count individually, but seperate dlls for the 3 programs it found should not be counted as seperate infections.
The stance of ISPs is that they need the extra step (suing for the logs, etc) in order to protect the privacy of customers.
I wonder how much of the ISPs complaint is because they don't actually have the logs? I'm not sure how much things have changed, but I know 5 or 6 years ago it was pretty common for the smaller dialup ISPs and telco owned ISPs to log FAR less than their privacy policy would lead you to believe.
I know one local company doesn't even delete your account when you cancle.. they just stop billing you. Were I not on broadband through another company I could be getting free dialup on my old account. I have a few friends that do.
And telling people to sign up and cancel right away to avoid credit card charges is fraud
When a company gives out a free trial offer, such as AOL, how is it fraud to terminate your account before the end of the trial offer to prevent charges? If you aren't satisfied with a companies services, of course you're going to terminate the account. You are not breaking your legal contract with this company, as they TOLD you it was a free trial offer.
Conversly, companies who advertise through places such as FreeIpod.com know that a majority of people aren't going to remain active members at the end of their trial offer. But they still give FreeIpods.com $50-90 per person that freeipods.com sends their way because enough people stay and it's way cheaper than the billions they spend on TV advertising.
Here's a neat wired article Here are some interesting quotes from that article: "Canoso also declined to specify the advertisers' bounties, but said they can range between $25 and $90, depending on the program and the kind of customer it attracts"
and
"Canoso said while $90 seems like a lot, it is peanuts compared to the millions spent on TV and magazine ads, which don't guarantee new customers."
And of course, just in case I change my signature in the near future, if you would like a GMail invite, please help me get a FreeIpod. If I don't get an iPod, I'll let you know and will most definately help spread the word across the internet as a whole.
Until then please mark no-freebie-for-u as a friend. I know I have;)
It would probably be more effective if our European "allies" would do something novel, like stop buying their oil and goods. An invasion isn't necessary here -- a revolution can occur from within, but the international community has to tighten the screws a bit.
OMG! Are you suggesting an embargo? What a great idea!! Embargo's have done so much in the way of causing rebellions in China, Cuba and Iraq over the years without causing any long term harm to civilians in these nations or cause horrible undo hatred of Western nations due to media spin by local governments! Why, I can't think of one nation we've placed an embargo on since WWII that hasn't had a complete change in government. What a wonderfully brilliant idea! I bet if you give us your name the entire US Slashdot community will write your name on the ballot for president in 2004.
Embargo! Wow! Why didn't I think of that? Seriously, just brilliant. Pure genius. It's like I'm talking to a friggin answer box... Amazing
Imagine if the world had had your views during world war 2: "I think the torture and murdering of jews is wrong, but maybe the people in germany don't. We should just them sort out their own problems"
Most of the world didn't know about the torturing of Jews until after the war. Mostly they were just concerned about Germany's invasion of the rest of Europe.
Same thing goes to the whole "woman being battered" in a few of the middle eastern countries. Sure, I think its wrong, like anyone. But that's *my* belief, not necessarily theirs. These people have a whole set of beliefs that they have, too.
You mean these men have a whole different belief than we have... I hardly think the women who are being beaten feel the same way.
How can we tell them not to censor the web when we censor just about everything here at home. I mean, yes, the web is pretty well uncensored in the US, but TV isn't, and neither is radio.
Obsenity censorship is a little bit different than blanket technology censorship. Blurring out a naked breast CBS or bleeping out the F-word on the radio is a little bit different than blocking access to Blogger.
How would you react if the FCC blocked access to CNN.com? Or Google? They aren't merely censoring in Iran, they're banning.
then people who don't have that amount of money are not able to 1. speak there mind freely in a public forum, and 2. access uncensored thoughts from other people.
People who don't have enough money to purchase a cheap computer and use a free netzero account probably have more important things on their mind then freely discussing politics, like feeding and sheltering themselves.
Those that can afford the spare time to discuss politics can go to their local library and access free internet there. There are also usually places in town where others congregate (Churches and bars at least exist in every US town) where they can communicate with and influence people face to face.
If they have enough money for at least a cheap walmart computer, last time I checked (ie, while I was posting this message) Netzero still offered 10 hours of dialup per month free to each family member of a household.
Oh, and local newspapers generally publish things people write in, and many local news papers are begin to be at least partially published online. This usually includes the opinion pieces...
Chances are that if you live in a city large enough to have both apartment complexes and broadband interent you can find some free internet near you...
Dissent is the only thing prohibited, but I doubt there is any country in which real dissent is permitted.
But how many countries prohibit dissent so openly and forcefully. The free flow of political ideas, even many of the horrible ideas that flow much too commonly here in the US must be protected. Obviously something was being posted on these blogs that was uniting Iranians who shared dissent or the government wouldn't be blocking access to the blogs.

No, no I don't. What are you getting at?
I think by "paid for it" he meant funded (as opposed to invented.)
"You can believe that when we have fully tactile 3d VR, we'll have it because porn industry funded its developement."
No, they weren't the first. But they were the first to make it fit in an SD package... Digimaster's solution is an SD Card with a usb plug hanging out. This means you'll have to leave the door open on most camera's as there's an extra piece extending from the side...

I'll stick with AdAware, thank you.

except that canon cameras take compact.
Oh well, others probably to follow suit.
The newest compact flash memory is REALLY small and thin. I'm not sure this could be possible with the latest variety.
When you share photos with a friend, do you want to give them your camera? Sure you can e-mail them, but it's often easier just to loan them your SD card, especially if they're still on dialup.
Wow! That is really cool!
SanDisk just went from "Cheap with questionable performance" to "Inovitce product designer"
Just goes to show you that the best ideas really are the simple ones.

The Business Software Alliance, a lobbying group whose members include Microsoft Corp. and Apple Computer Inc.
It would seem that judging by Apple Computer's recent lawsuit that the current laws are sufficient for them.
google censors US searches as well.
Also, I notice are beloved search company has never done very much to fight varies US laws that make them censor.
That's right. They've been pressured to remove some links due to accused copyright infringements. I forgot about that...

The Internet, and the essential anonymity that comes with it, is a very much a boon in this case.
It has also lead to a boon for the child porn industry. Not to mention NABMLA. God bless those Marlon Brando look-alikes

Second to that, I'll take the Internet. While it isn't free, it's damn cheap, and arguably more relevant than TV or radio.
