Most of what we discussed here involve online piracy...
If its that kind of piracy you're talking about... CRACK THEM DOWN! CRACK THEM DOWN! Or steam roll them, that's why they did in Taiwan. Find bootlegged CD and run them over with steam roller in public.
I like the smell of burnt CDs, and the sound of crushed CDs in the morning.
Well, kinda hard to NOT let them get away with it when in every election, you get a choice between and total idiot and an greedy bastard. And see what happens when we decided on a total idiot instead of the usual greedy bastard? Sure, there's the third party. But they're either liberal hippies, ultra conservatists, or someone who's too smart for his own good (the public despise electing people smarter then they are).
No one is saying that. We're just saying that despite this kind of thing, the DoJ's resources could be better utilized in other crimes (since this operation, by the looks of it, is a waste of money). The only way to solve this problem is to have a better educated public. AND the corporation REALLY needs to get their image up (as of now, no one trust anything resembling a corporation).
The didn't, but they had an agreement with those countries and the DoJ does have the ability to request an extradition, although it'll be on the other countries' decision whether to permit the extradition (which they most likely will).
Piracy != to lost sales. But there WILL be lost sales due to piracy, and that's what they're mainly going after, they don't give a rat's a$$ about people who pirate because they can't pay (okay, maybe they do).
Actually, your attitude had being in the gaming industry quite a lot... and most of the time, someone else came up with something even more unique.
First we had FPS. Then we have FPS with story (love American McGee's Alice) Then... FPS + RPG (think elder scroll). FPS + RTS (there's an old game that does that... although it got smacked due to lousy advertising despite good review and gameplay). FPS on Squad level.
Get unique gameplay and storyline. The graphics department is nearly mature, start adding realistic physics (I think there was a story on Physics chip here something). Ofcourse this is hard! If it's easy to come up with ideas, EVERYONE will have one.
The probleem of decentralized root servers can be solved. It's just that the countries need to agree on a standard protocol for the root server to handle requests that might mean different things in different country. There must be a centralized agreement, whether it be hardware (a central root server where every query to see what root server should handle what) or international. There should also be a system that allows the end-users to figure out (every easily) which root server they're suppose to use (or make it transparent).
They do this for several reason (some of which you already said).
1. Raise awareness for solar power as a renewable energy. 2. Promote advancement in design of power system involving solar power. This includes power panels, recharging battery, and motor.
And while shaving weight do help, it's actually more important trying to get more efficient motors, better power panels and panel placement and better battery while finding a good balance between them.
While it may be the core idea of the internet, there still need to be a central system that assign an online identifications to individual system. The problem lies in the fact that someone could, by accident or intension, assign their own device to have the same name (two google.com, bad) or same IP (really, REALLY bad). A central system is therefore required to register who's allowed to use what IP and what name is connected to that one IP.
... why is it that everytime anyone said something reasonable... they got trolled?
The point here is well taken. I, for one, would like the internet to only need one control entity somewhat like ICANN (only meant the central part, not the way they do things). From what I see, there IS no reason why USA should give up control of root dns server. But there also NO reason why US should keep it under lock and key.
P.S. My view may be a minority view thou... kinda sad...
Uh huh... I would like to see what country you live in.
1. On physical size, US is bigger then any country in europe (excluding Russia, they're huge). And the combine landmass of Europe by itself is roughly the same as the entire United States. So size isn't the problem
2. On economic, that might have something (not an expert on that).
3. On military... you're kidding, right?
And one more thing, you APPARENTLY didn't read/understand the problem going on here. What's being debated is who should have control (or should there be any central control) over the assignment of namespace to IP. So everyone going their seperate ways... not a good idea. (want Google.com to point to something else completely? Be my guest).
1. State of free speech in China - 0. State of free speech in Taiwan - Pretty good. So I assume you're just referring to the citizens of mainland china, not Taiwan.
2. Why's a lot of people posting under anonymous? Freedom of speech is fine. Freedom of privacy is fine. But when you want to insult someone, say it to their face, with some form of psuedo identification attached.
But for the latter part, who's collecting the due? Who get's the money? And as for poor country, who's struggling to have some form of basic internet services for their people, what should they do?
The owner of nissan.com has a valid claim. 1. It was his name. 2. He used it before Nissan Motor came.
The owner of Google's typo domains doesn't have a shred of validity. 1. It's in no way connected to his name. 2. He registered those name for the purpose of using Google's popularity. 3. To make it worse, those sites were sometimes used to distribute malware. He admitted to add codes on it, allegedly with the source company's promise that they aren't malicious.
Nissan.com's site owner has a very good reason. Nissan was his name and he was using it long before Nissan Motor. However, the google case is where someone else deliberately registered typo-domain names for the purpose of using Google's popularity for his own gain, and suspected to be with distribution of malware. The two cases are different.
You're right, it is ironic. But its reality, Movie industry got CRAP LOAD of lobbyist for their precious copyrighted stuffs. The public sector/computer industries? Jack nothing.
What they meant were the group of organized crime gangs that bascially ask protection fees from web oriented company by threatening them with DDoS attacks by zombie machines.
I miss Asian society, where it's okay for parents to beat kids as punishment. As long as there's no permanent damage (some country in Asia) or the kids don't end up dead (all country).
It's like a viral effect. Many people think Microsoft is evil, people who're neutral join, got flamed for not thinking Microsoft is evil, got brainwashed into thinking Microsoft is evil...
If they're evil, fine, I could care less. (P.S. This is written on a Windows 2000 with Internet Explorer, it hasn't blow up yet). Win2000 and WinXP is da bomb.... not going to say about any other one... had horrible experiences...
Sure it turns the powerline into a massive antenna. But here's a few points. 1. Powerline already "hums" at at 60 Hz. 2. The frequency they use over the powerline could very well be outside the frequency of HAM bands. So even if there're bleeding, it might not be in the same frequency as HAM band.
Where do you think we got our AC generators from? Tesla. Sure he has his problem, but don't say he's shit just because his idea doesn't work too well.
As for the inverse square law, he's fully aware of that. He's development revolves around attemp to get around the inverse square law (using the ionosphere as a conductor, use ionosphere as a container, uses earth itself, etc).
Very well said. It's nice to hear words like this on the net, it gives people hope. I seriously don't think anyone believe any of them deserves this, to die simply because of their belief.
P.S. I wish you good health, and wish your great nation to have a speedy recovery.

Realism is good, but not always. There is only one thing that's most important.
Gameplay.
Everything else are just add-on. FPS involving horror stories and/or real-life situation? Realism will help a lot.
Actually, your attitude had being in the gaming industry quite a lot... and most of the time, someone else came up with something even more unique.

Really? I would like to see some evidence on that.
