You are starting with the assumption thatto study the traffic flow has a direct practical pupose. Silly person! This research is designed to be slick, ingenious, quantifieable, and aimed like a laser as the two basic needs: 1 a grant to cover it, and 2 a opening of that age old phrase somewhere warmly tucked into the conclusion: "This demonstrates the need for further study". Thus demonstrating the need for an additional grant.
Our business relys on our page. It worked fine for many functions on Firefox (and Camino), Opera, IE 6, Safari, and others. It breaks in two important aspects on IE 7. I am no html expert to know why, I just know the bill pament function ain't workin and that DOES effect business. Thanks Redmond!
In the early 20th century, domestic arms production was a prestige thing for most countries. The thought being that in the event of war, supplies of needed material would be interrupted if the factory was not at home. The political ramifications were prickly too; Example: The Austro-Hungarian Empire had standardized on the model 1907 Roth Steyr pistol for their cavalry but as the "Dual Monarchy" needed to apease various factions, the armory for this weapon was set up in Vienna and duplicated completely in Budapest. Hungarian forces carried their "Native" pistol. Prestige is one thing but the other reason: interruption of supply is also valid. With weapons as with software that runs modern weapons a third problem arises; compromise of your defense asset to a non-citizen who's loyalty to your political ideology is thereby suspect.
Let's see: the article says "Americans" One would presume this would be in comparisson to other countries?. Well, America is more a continent then a country. Comparing the USA to say Germany would give you somewhat weird results. Also, is there a breakdown by: ethnicity, other genetic factors, enviornmental or climate conditions, or Hat size? I could go on. "America" is a all inclusive non-homogenious term. The ONLY malady we all share in common is the IRS.
afrter all, the Airport security system is foolproof. We have fools in government and they are the proof. Its ok though, if you don't like it, you can always vote them out just bribe Diebold.....
Reasonable...Now, is this going to report every mp3 or other format music file inculding all my transcribed 1890s Edison wax cylinder recordings? I may be wrong but I do believe these might be past their copyright due date... Does this process look for some "digital signature" for "their music" vs "My Music"? if so, may I please see this signature?
Does it differentiate any of the legal backup rips of my CDs from "their music" and flag which is not or which is "pirate"? If there is such a way of telling the difference, please reveal same to the independent so he can place this information online in a objective and impartial forum..like well here would do. Peer review woudl be the ONLY way to determine objectivly if this is a good aproach, oh and post the music too so we can see the process in action...
If not, then this is yet another lawyer fishing expedition and there ain't nothing can be done when Weasels in Suits smell cash....
You mention Youtube...posts copyright material, safe harbor provison...Grokster, Napster; no Safe Harbor protection, for posting copyright materials and then you mention Torrent sites that post....wait. a Torrent is the copyright material itself? I thought it was merely a seed for a server-less system, that is a table, an index. Now I am confused. Is an index part of someone's copyright material now?
It seems that Hollyweird and the Music labels are already practicing the only real effective form of DRM: Create content that is so bad, no one would bother to copy it, let alone buy it in the first place.
Or, they could act like government's true approach to security: everything is so sensitive, nothing can be read by anyone on any level, thereby removing all information from the decision making process. In the case of every corner office I have ever associated with, no change in practice would be observed at all.
Well, I did not say it, but, if the footware fits... I am sure the "science" of archeology of say 2107 or 3207 given some human culture is around then will decry our current desicration of sites. Yes, you are correct, I see little difference. The moral high ground may exist, but no here...There are exceptions and pitfalls and piltdowns along the way...
There is a difference? The greatest discoveries in egypt were by "expert" grave robbers. E Wallis Budge (translator of the Dover edition Egyptian Book of the Dead) for example was one of the greatiest "aquisition agents" the British Museum ever deployed. Howard Carter of Tutankhamen fame was working for Lord Carnarvon on a private dig, not for a musem. The only difference betwene valid scientists in the past and grave robbers was the fancy title, and the better hotel accomodations at the Cairo Hilton..
In the 1930s, kids who read lurid Science Fiction magazines. In the 1960s kids who joined the rocket/chess/science/math/(and, late 60s, computer club. In the 1970s kids who played D&D Kingmaker and other Avalon Hill offerings, in the 1980s Atari. in the 1990s...you get the picture. If you don't live and breath football scores, know who is going with whom, and the only thing you notice about Homecomming parade is the traffic hold up it presented getting to the computer store that night, you are "weird", "unbalanced", "need medication", "addicted". Later in life, Uber Jock with a shinny new probably purchased degree sits down at a computer invented/ designed/ programmed/ built by yep...nerds... that he can barely understand, that is part of a Botnet when he is away from it, and that he curses the slowness on but can do nothing about... that he uses to write of other's "internet addiction". -then calls the Geek to get all those Tokens off the Ring where they are clogging his Ethernet....

Ever since the airports were forced to take out the pay toilets, they just have not had as much loot in their lobby fund.

google "Potemkin Village" - "There is no censorship of the Net...see?" as "these peasants are not unhappy Czarina...See?"
Halloween is an apropriate day for this tale. Time to carve the Potemkin.......
when you need to hack the encryption...remember: Think of the Children!
2050? Wait, How can that be right since we totally ran out of oil in 1994?
I did, time or location; same argument; no accounting for any inherited or enviornmental factors. but it does make great copy on a s low news day

If his prison wear is too drab, I am sure someone can get him some slightly used "Free Kevin!" tee shirts..

Your conclusions seem plausable once you apply Occam's Razor.
It seems that Hollyweird and the Music labels are already practicing the only real effective form of DRM: Create content that is so bad, no one would bother to copy it, let alone buy it in the first place.
50 bazillion phone cams and there is STILL nothing on worth watching..but now there is also: no one worth talking to too

I would beg to differ, but I have no dog in the fight.
