WHY you would need to do this. Obviously we have 'pr0n viewing' at work, and stalking ex's and whathave you...
You answered it yourself.
It sounds like you were suggesting that people shouldnt be anonymously viewing porn at work, or anonymously stalking their ex girlfriend...
Lets use your stalking ex girlfriends example.
Why should a stalker be allowed to anonymously harass his ex girlfriend? Flip that, and look at the reverse. Shouldnt the girl have the ability to surf the web anonymously without fear of her ex boyfriend stalking and harassing her?
She doesnt want posts from this guy on her myspace account saying "yeah remember when i fucked you in your ass at your mothers home lisa smith!" or "Remember you said how much you hate jews Lisa Smith" or... "God remember that time we beat up that nigger... gawd that was rofl fun!"
Some girl doesnt need to be harassed with false statements aimed to character assasinate her out of anger due to a broken heart. Lets say an employer googles her name... What will they find? They'll find comments like the above examples...
OR
Lets say she found a new boyfriend.... and she says so on her myspace... ok she's posting through "LA-baby0231" and that is anonymous, but her ex bf knows of that account already... so he goes and reads it and finds out that she's now dating Gary Jones who works at so and so company...
Ok.. Now her Ex Bf who is a stalker... goes down to where he works and beats the shit out of him.
Granted the EX knew the gf's myspace account already, so she wasnt really anonymous in our example... BUT she has the ability to make a new myspace, a new email address, a new blog, or a new webpage etc. That is privacy we already have. It's not perfect but dont take for granted the privacy we already have, and use on a daily basis. WE DO expect to be private indivudals, often we take it for granted not realizing the freedoms we already use...
Now our privacy rights are being erroted so fast. And as a poster said, with all of the new weapons out there that easily create an entire laundry list of everything you do and say online, we need STRICTER privacy laws that protect our privacy to the fullest. There are publically available services if you just pay a few bucks, where you can find out a whole bunch of stuff on people on the internet. Why should someone make a dollar of that if you cant actively protect yourself against it? Someone is profiting off your willingness to give up all of your information.... ok so maybe you're not going to post your name and address on slashdot.org right now.... But why not? What do yuo have to hide?
See its not about having somethign to hide... (well it is) But its about protecting yourself from harasment, unfair judgement, embarrasment and a personal choice to not have you know everything about me if i do not want you to do so. That is a very basic and powerful thing that we are losing.
People do not need to know my political views... or my religious views... (which is one of the very reasons why we have a right to privacy btw). But then again i'm sharing my political views online right? Well theres a little difference between personal interaction and reading something scribbled on a wall.
If i wrote "hey fuck all you of fags" on a wall... and you were to read it... What would you think?
You might think i'm commiting a hate crime against homosexuals. But the reality is... it may have been a light hearted silly personal message to my friends who went to the movies and didnt wait for me to show up cause i was 5 minutes late. And you still wouldnt know if my friends were gay or not...
So this is why privacy is important. You may think you know everything by just by looking from the outside in... but you dont. We never do. There is nuance to everything. If were all at dinner at a table, and my friends said "dumby over here, showed up to the movies late last night so we left without him" and i scream "yeah well fuck
actually, i tend to think of linux users as being more independent of political parties, and more concerned with their own personal, individuality as a human beings with a very heavy personal beleif in freedom.
If you want to call that leftie... thats your word. I consider them just humans who want to live their lives as they feel fit. I dont see a reason to label and villify such people... which is often the case when i hear the term "leftie" being thrown around....
Enough. Whats to stop the complete control of individuals by government?
Our American history books are full of fairy tales, perhaps the entire idea of America is just another tale...
England hasn't changed. America strives to be modern England... Revolutionary wars, Civil Wars, Middle Class American dreams, Civil Rights, Racial Equality... World War 2....
meant nothing... apparently.
I'm sure glad all of our grandparents are dead today. Shame on all of us for allowing this stuff to continue.
Technically, it doesnt do anything until... someone executes the program. Until then, its just a bunch of code that doesnt do a dam thing.
Why dont they go after the users of the program and prove that they are using it to break DMCA? They're the ones that execute the program, which puts it into action.
Compusa has always been an expensive place to shop. I've recently seen mice and keyboards 2x the actual value of them at other stores.
They're an ok place to shop but i dont never go to compusa unless i'm on the hunt for something i cant find somewhere else locally when i need something asap.
These guys are pointing this out, because they want to sell symantec products. Thats the only reason why this article came out. It's the only reason why Symantec released this statement. They want to put the message out there that "You're not secure without Norton"
This is a corporate propaganda directive, possibly directly from the CEO him/herself. "Find something, and lets use it to make us money"
The old anti virus company making viruses, just to fuel sales... has come true. They dont have to release the viruses though, but simply they figured something out, and to tell the world that something.
ah... I guess if there were more evidence aside from whatever was found on his pc then so be it. It would be hard to convict someone on just the pictures alone and the hacker admitting to hacking the pc. That would be an interesting case.
Lightroom is a great interface for color correction, and photomanagement. HOWEVER It is a very specific application that works with photoshop.
Lightroom only handles camera image formats in its database. It's not going to organize.tga.pcx.pic.png.sgi.exr.hdr etc. It only handles images related to digital cameras.
Lightroom is a shooters app. You bring it on set with your laptop... If you're in a studio, you'll have your lappy hooked up to a nice large screen...
You basically will shoot your shots, and in the field use lightroom to organize and review them with the very common "star" rating system. You pick the ones you love, and you can use the color correction tools to tweak the colors really fast.
NOW this is not a finished photo. Often there will be things that need to be airbrushed, stamped out etc. That is when you right click on the file and it'll open it in photoshop.
Whats nice about this is that Lightroom is non destructive. It will not overwrite your original images while editing the color etc in lightroom, and whne you export to photoshop, it copies it to a tif, and you edit that in ps. It then keeps that tiff back in the library when you're done.
It is not meant to replace photoshop. It is mean to be a quick and easy way to color correct, crop, and organize your pictures in the field. If you're a serious photograper, you'll be retouching them in Photoshop in a studio when you can sit down for hours on end.
It's a great application that filled a void. Its color correction UI is very good and i like it compared to PS's color tools because its easier to work with and its all pretty much upfront.
Pizza Hutt in highschool is rather sickening to me. I love pizza, and Pizza Hutt makes a decent fast food version of pizza that is yummy... BUT I dont eat it every day for lunch. That can lead to some serious health issues. I might even accept the pizza hutt in the cafeteria idea if you could only buy it maybe once a week... as long as the other days werent mcdonalds and other fast foods.
Its not really good to be eating that stuff everyday, but having it in the cafeteria facilitates it. It's a little too convenient. Sure you can opt in... but everday? I woudlnt want my children to have that readiable access to it without my supervision at a young age... because i know most kids are gonna want to eat it everyday:) I would.
Can you beleive they call that "The Learning Channel" still:) I know they say TLC more than ever now, and rarely refer to it as The Learning Channel... I suspect they realized that they have lost track of their original mission and now go straight for shock and horror to make the big bucks.
That would have been funny, but Jackie Chan is from Kowloon, Hong Kong. He grew up under British rule, not communism:) His father worked for an American ambassador as a cook, and they slept and lived in the back of his house next to the trash all in one room as a very young man before he was sent to live and train in Bei Jing opera in Hong Kong, while his parents moved to Australia.
The airwaves are a public resource? Think about what you're saying man. So if i put up an FM transmitter and broadcast on several frequencies of choice, i can!?????
They wont come knocking on my door???????????
They are not the public's airwaves, they are the corporations airwaves. The public really has very limited access to them.
If they were the peoples airwaves, we could use them at will. But they are regulated, controlled... Replace airwaves with free speech and realize what the FCC is doing. They regulate free speech, what you can and cant say on the public's airwaves at which the public has no access to. Is there an organization that is supposed to regulate out the mouth, free speech? Sure we cant say fire or kill the president without being put under suspicion, but whats the difference between the airwaves, and out the mouth speech? The radio frequencies?
AH.. so the FCC is supposed to regulate frequencies... I see.. That makes sense now... So why do they regulate speech as well?
if we allow them to limit it to a certain time... then we should allow ALL VIOLENCE, SEX, and LANGUAGE to be aired anytime except prime time, and 6 to 7 pm.
BUT since a child could be watching TV at any given point because a child may be home from school sick.. or may be on vacation... or at home during the summer during the day....
I guess we're pretty much fucked. We must bow down to our children. They run us.
The truth is, this is the government using the angry mothers that will vote for so called family values... before constitutional ones. I'm glad they're killing the country for some selfish cunt's children.
The FCC is a peice of shit, and illegal. They know it, but they still continue to control us because no one told them to fuck off.
I agree with that. I'd rather have some hardcore deep dicking than some pair of conjoined twins joined at the head on TLC. (The learning channel my fucking ass)
The prices of DVD's have gone down, with all of the illegal copying and downloading...
Why in the world would the prices go down with DRM? DVD's when they first came out were not copyable, were not downloadable and cost a lot more than they do now...
Now they're cheaper..
Should we presume that they are cheaper because they are downloadable, copyable and so forth?
I know the market is saturated with dvds but still. Frankly i think the piracy is a way keep their prices fair. If they eliminate piracy, the skyies the limit for them, they can charge whatever they want and you have no alternative.
This just bugs me. We have drug free school zones, where even freaking drug dealers pledge to not corrupt our children... Corporate America is worse than the drug dealers?!
It is better than not having books or teachers... but its horrible. It so pervasive... and a perfect example of what we've become. I'm all for advertising... but is there nothing sacred anymore?
I'm not a republican, prayer in school, conservative wackjob either. I'm just a wackjob that thinks this is rather sick.
Mcdonalds in the cafeteria for all! Eat up America... Eat up:)
God thats horrible. Your son's school gets ad money? So you're allowing corporations to educate your child on which products they should be buying, from an early age?

Profit at all costs.
Its no surprise that they want to give you the equiptment, and charge you a subscription, rather than sell you the equiptment.
If you owned the equiptment you dont need the power companies really, and you can infact sell your energy to the power grid so...
yeah... dont fall for this scam. Buy the hardware, and the energy is free. The real truth is... the sun's energy is free for all.
ah... I guess if there were more evidence aside from whatever was found on his pc then so be it. It would be hard to convict someone on just the pictures alone and the hacker admitting to hacking the pc. That would be an interesting case.
In the big picture of things, If he didnt touch a child... is he really guilty of anything?
The hacker could have placed the pictures there...
I think this is way too shady.
Even if they were his pictures... isnt it a thought crime?
Isnt breaking into someones computer with a Trojan illegal?
Maybe he put the kiddie porn on the judges computer...
So tempting :)
Not when you have a 30'inch HP at 2560x1600 ;)
