That's it, the Playstation 3 will definately win the next console war due to exploiting its Synergistic Processor units and developing core competencies to sustain a long-term competitive advantage in the new paradigm. Now that word is out on the blogosphere, Microsoft should just give up.
I think it's fairly safe to call Markoff "the Mitnick Exploitation guy." I think that anyone who knew the history of the Mitnick fiasco would instantly know who "the Mitnick Exploitation guy" was.
In case you weren't aware, Markoff wrote a book which he adapted into a film about the Mitnick takedown.
This film, while not claiming to be fact-for-fact true, uses real names, real events, and makes no attempt to disclaim itself as not being the truth. The film makes no note that it is fiction, or that any of it is fabricated.
The film stops just barely short of portraying Mitnick as an evil thug.
For example, in the film, Mitnick (played by Skeet Ulrich) assaults and batters Shimomura (this never happened in reality).
The worst travesty is, that in the film, Mitnick is convicted in trial and goes to jail. Why is that a travesty? The film was released before Mitnick was tried.
Here we have a real guy waiting to be tried, and someone (Markoff) is out making a movie (which uses Mitnicks real name as well as the real name of almost everyone else) in which Mitnick has already been convicted. How can this possibly not effect Mitnick's trial? Is it fair to have a guy sitting here making up lies to the public before this trial is even over? How is Markoff legitimized at all by publicly defaming Mitnick as a criminal when he hadn't even been charged with anything?
Markoff exploited Mitnick's situation. He turned a real guy's nightmare into a classic Evil Villian story. While Kevin Mitnick certainly did commit a crime, he wasn't the violent, sociopathic thug that Markoff portrayed him as. More importantly, Markoff did Kevin, and the public, wrong by depicting the results of a trial that hadn't even started yet, in a supposedly "nonfiction" work.
How does this do on last gen systems? I have a 1800mhz duron and a Geforce FX5950, and don't really care to upgrade. What are my chances of being able to play this successfully?
Does AllOfMP3 give correct ID3 tags? I use mp3search.ru , which has a similar business model, but I get no ID3 tags on the mp3s that I download from them, which really is a hassle.
I want to switch to AllOfMP3 if they give you proper ID3 tags, but I don't want to drop $30 just to find out.
Will this mark the return of official security updates for Slackware?
I don't really trust third-party packages, which is the only thing that was available for 10.0 and a long time on current.
Once Pat got nearer to 10.1, security updates for current were available, but I can't run a development branch.
I know that Pat was sick, and I don't blame him for this at all. But I really hope that with 10.1, Slackware will reclaim its status as the distro with the best security updates.
in otherwords, you want the hardware to do things for you because you're too lazy to $PERFORM_X_TASK
This is the reason that all programs are written. This is what computers are for. So yes, I do.
Yeah, I use easytag. It's a great little program, but I'd like to just browse with the filesystem so that I don't have to mess with making an iTunes database. Gtkpod kinda bugs out a lot, and when it crashes, it will leave me with a phantom few gigabytes used (it writes tracks to the iPod and then updates the db after all of the tracks are written), and there is no real way to get rid of it short of reloading the whole iPod. This is usually really annoying, because when I update my iPod is usually when I'm about to leave anyway.

I think they're saying it has enough battery life to play 3 hours of video there, Archimedes.
This essay was much better when Paul Graham wrote it two years ago and called it "Hackers and Painters"
Holy shit guys, Donald Rumsfeld is writing for Slashdot now! I would try out Nintendogs, but I just have too many known unknowns.
Synergistic Processor Units?

Bingo, BTW.

Markoff exploited Kevin Mitnick's situation for his own personal gain.
Whether Mitnick ended up advantageous or not is inconsequential to the fact that his situation was exploited by Markoff.
I believe that Mitnick's PR success was due to the response from the 2600 community.
Don't we already know John Markoff's tactics all too well?

Oh wow, at mp3search you have to pay a $30MB minimum, I figured AllOfMP3 had something like that. Great, thanks.

I thought that they just turned you upside down and saw how much money fell out of your pockets.

Cool, I'm running sarge with sid pinned, i'll try the one in sid.

For me, its because the software on the iPod browses by ID3 tag, when I'd rather use filenames.
off to RTFA will probably less luck.

Yeah, I live in a college town.
Ok, fine. The zombie iPod then.
The internet is more than 25 years old. So they can't do it.
I could see them doing something like "commercialized internet" like they did for GPS.
It's obviously the iPod, we can stop speculating now.
Looks like someone got "Hackers and Painters" for Christmas. Paul Graham's essay "The Other Road Ahead" makes the same points.
We've had this for years in Korea, In fact only old people and bearded terminal hackers use them any more.
