I'm against the "piracy market" in some way, but what about the P2P? (or People to People:)
Always comes the same point: When i _SHARE_ a movie with my friend, I'll be breaking some laws... but keep in mind this: "I will be a better human being"
When your profit is directly related with the prohibition of something SO NATURAL like SHARE, YOU are fucked up.
The act of share a movie/cd/book always exist, now with the "new" technology, is easier and more popular. (The ria acts like a child when blames the "rules")
FTA:Apparently, a couple of really "hot" movie DVDs are being peddled in Shanghai. One title hit the bogus street shops just hours after the film held it's debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
AFAIK the ria doesnt have jurisdiction in China.. don't know for sure.
Maybe this is not a big deal, it's just "Ticketmaster", but everything has a beginning.
I think that the "new" system, only generates more profit (everybody knows this:P )... the tickets will have the "same" minimal prices (maybe somebody save some bucks some day), but they catch that people who buy tickets at EBay (at least a big part).
If Ticketmaster have the infrastructure is a really good move.
Some ppl pay more than 5 times (even MORE) the "original price".

"In general, they [Copyright Laws] are designed to protect the rights of artists while preserving the public's right to benefit from the works of those same artists." (From RIAA.com )
Its seems that the Artist doesnt WANT some "protections":P
The artists should not sign if the contracts of the Record companies requires they "soul". The musicians and the music exist since always... the companias not.;-)
BTW i dont want to sound as an asshole, but that info was posted in the sonymusic forum some days ago... maybe its all marketing?:?
Although thinking it better, if those are the "PROTECTIONS" that they are developing, I do not believe that they have many people qualified managing the forums.
Above all, I want to clarify that I did not want to sound aggressive or troll, simply was an opinion.
Besides, very few enthusiasts are trying to keep a CPU working for seven years, so even in those cases where there is some reduced lifetime, it's seldom a concern.
Thats a good point, but I have a Celeron (P4 based), and in a time I will sold it to an office, where surely it will be up for various years. Here in sudamerica the need does that many pc be maintained during years, and not exactly because they are enthusiasts. Besides that, i know what you mean and you are right.
The article provided a lot of useful information. I knew much of it, but that doesn't mean that everyone knows everything in it.
IMHO it treat certain points in an incorrect way (as the Windows Security Updates, becouse the "regular" user, must leave that enabled) and some others in a really poor way like that of Windows Vuln. And I am not seeing it from my personal point of view, since the things that already know were treated badly or very poor and the ones i dont, did not have anything of interesting.
Really i dont want to sound troll but this article sucks, maybe the "monitor and pixel guarantee" is usefl but there is more than 10 pages saying nothing or doing wrong recommendations.
LOL "Anonymous Coward", you are right.... I wrote my previous comment sooo bad (BTW i lied i have no friends, nobody understand me)

All of this Google "thing" (*paranoid*) bring me some doubts... the centralization of data (a LOT of personal info) NEVER will be good.
I hope that "Google IM" has the features that the "regular" user seek in his IM prog (all the "cool" stuff that MSN Messenger has), thus maybe my friends (and everybody) will begin to use a FREE IM protocol.
Jabber (the FREE IM protocol) exists for some time ago and i dont see ANY reason to start using the talk.google.com (jabber server).
Personally i take all of this Google "thing" (*paranoid*) with some doubts, the concentration of information (a LOT of personal data) never will be good.
I use Jabber(i use it from centericq, imcom, Gaim, kopete, among others) for a long time ago, and i REALLY try to all my friends start using it, but they still use the (lack of "geek" features and stability) MSN Messenger.
I really wait the Google IM program, becouse jabber exist for some time ago, and IMHO doesnt have ANY reason to use the Google servers. The good thing of this news is that maybe with the Google IM all my friends (and everybody) start using a FREE IM protocol (i say that for Jabber)
It will be Good that some admin check how many of/. visitors/users accept cookies, as some form of "statics".
I have CookieCuller http://cookieculler.mozdev.org/index.html (a "modified version of the Cookie Manager built into the Firefox/Mozilla browser". With that extension its easy to have some "protected" cookies, a list of "blocked" (sites who can not do nothing with cookies), and some other that will be cleaned at start. (and some other options).
I dont think it must be that way, as someone said before, i think the "FEAR", all the "new laws" or "security ideas", are just an elements used by some guys who can pull some strings, to control peopple.
Peopple doesn't has to "beg" his gov for security, is the duty of the gov provide this security. Im not too smart or work for gov, and i can think about two or three ideas to stop fear and don't invade privacy, so a better qualified professional must has a LOT of ideas.
Anyway i will fly a little and tell that this is how society works... Society adopt us, call us "good boy" (like niger the dog), then we sacrifice freedom and power, for some unneeded stuff (that the society sell for years), then we realize of all of this (maybe not) and you can choose "run like hell"!, but then if when allmost everybody say "ok i accept the RFID if it's for more security and blablabla"
Im _NOT_ denigrating them, they are playing and this is good!, i play to! I use "Davici Code" in the example, becouse its a "best seller" book, fictional novel, who was taken seriously as if we were talking about a SERIOUS book.
Olimpic games its a bad example, to discuss becouse i dont aprove olimpic games, i think its stupid (medaling stuff).
I dont share your point of view... i mean, be better all the time is what i want, but becouse i want to be better, not becouse i want something for someone, that doesnt makes me better.
You must understand that i dont denigrate them, im putting thing in place, thats the problem i was talking about you and of course some CEOs among others who look at some guy who shoot a LOT of things in an "ambiented" game (sound good;)), to do things he isnt ready.
Menawhile this guy was shooting, there is another, studiyng the birds (he knows everything about it), and nature, and a lot of different weapons.
Both are doing what they want to do, there is nothing wrong or somethig like things on them, but some peopple are taking the guy shooting as he was the other guy.
IMHO there is nothing WRONG about this kind of "x hacker games" there is a lot of this kind of stuff, Hollywood movies, popcorn books (like Davinci Code by Dan Brown), among others.
The problem is when begins to be a serious "news" or "event".
The article try to remark that the event is "pro" or "serious", dont get it...
I think that a LOT of peopple are "missing the point", here we are talking about peopple who SHARE with others are "pirates".
I wasnt enter in sony music with a gun an steal material, i bought a Pink Floyd cd, and share with a lot of peopple. Yes im breaking the law, but worst if i dont SHARE this music with others.
I dont know how they will stop the listeners natural impulse to share the music they love (ITs NATURAL THAT PEOPPLE WANT TO SHARE), now music can be copied completely faithfully, and without cost.
There is a REALLY interesting articles about this subject of SHARING MUSIC, but IMHO this one sucks.
The music exist and doesn't need RIAA, its the RIAA the one who want to use the most important thing in this world to make some profit.
Chao
PS: We can derivate to the idea of "respect only the laws I think are corrects", and THAT can be ANOTHER discussion.
PS. PS.: Will i was writing this comment and for a looong time i still be sharing ALL pink floyd disks on torrent. Pink Floyd Discs (2250.8 MB)
Maybe if the URSS didn't "lost" the "Space Race" (maybe the Apollo doesnt land on moon, i dont know), today we know more planets, travel "regulary", etc.
But US with the "test period" make me laugh.(or cry)
There are a LOT of "risky" jobs, i think that "be an astronaut" can be one of the BEST "risky" jobs...
Sometimes the workers didnt knows the risk of work 25hs a day for nike making shoes in Indonesia... Comeon anyone who study and train, for years to be an astronaut, know the risks.
About bittorrent there is no doubt that it will be growing more and more with time, but there is another proyects like: WASTE and MUTE

It's weird, i don't understand... Why nobody (producers/script-makers) make a script and sell the whole story to Warner channel? It's better than "Friends".
Don't tell me: "They are waitng the end"
EVERYBODY knows the end of this story...
SCO talk, talk, talk... FSF, present some proofs
And OF COURSE, theres no story without SEX, so at the end of the movie Linus and RMS, FUCK Darl McBride. (Linus and RMS, culd be drunk for this part, becouse McBride is REALLY DISGUSTING)
So... If i receive a mail (REALLY SPAM) that says: "Enlarge your penis and forget all your problems" This filter can "accidentaly" filter a mail from a beautiful lady that says: "Foget all your problems i will suck your penis" (YES this girl is fashion and dosen't say "dick" she says pennis) No, i want a SPAM filter that dosen't think, just like my girlfriend.
Well... seriusly, theres a lot of SPAM that says "Here is your file" or others common combination of words, that can be filtered, i dont trust on this kind of filter.

PS: Do you overclock your cpu?
Your CPU May Be Much Faster Than You Think
When you overclock your cpu, its "lifetime" will be reduced.
High-End Manufacturers Don't Always Make Their Products
This one its true, but AFAIK the difference will be in the tests that the product has passed. That way they set the brand.
My opinion about the other points, already has been treated in others posts. But in general the article is poor and somehow little useful.
