fine, wait 6 months, a year, they will reinvent some portion of it which will require you to learn it all over again, and revisit all your previous code if you hope to keep it supported.
Then a year later, they will reinvent some other part of it.
Redmond LOVE to keep external developers BUSY catching up with there latest 'big thing'
I stopped doing ASP development when they rewrote the database connectivity 3 times in 18 months.
There are many titles listed twice.
"Art of War" Twice
"The Aeneid" three times
"The Epic of Gilgamesh" twice
lots more.
Dunno if they are counted in the total, but its not very well presented...
Well, nothing in that sounds like true interdiction.
Interdiction would seem to suggest to me that once identified, a P2P client or host would be removed from routing information.
This is simply an auto-poisoner...
The hash spoofing is problematic.
if they are able to do this effectively, this could cause trouble. Any efforts made by Bram to counteract this, could nudge bittorrent away from lawful use. Up to now, all features of bittorrent have been in support of lawful use (just not precluding unlawful use)
One could argue that working to counteract hash spoofing makes bittorrent more secure (would not like to see someone hosting a torrent for a linux distro that could distribute malware).
... that he would have considered the typecasting possibility earlier...
could it be that he could not agree with the Beeb as to how much he would be paid for a second season?
He had nothing to fear about a second season typecasting him. he was typecase at 17:05 last saturday when he poked his head around a door and said "hello, I'm the doctor"...
A friend of mine was in London on Saturday, when he came back in to work on Tuesday he said, "guess who I saw in london on Saturday?, Doctor Who", not Chris Eccleston, Dr Who... jobs already done...
You no longer need the TV companies to distribution your shows...
I would quite happily download AND WATCH shows that contained adverts from the internet.
THINK about it... why bother getting a bad quality rip of a TV show SOMETIMES if you can go to the studios website and download a show for free.
The Studio could sell advert space in the downloads.
I would have no problem watching an advert or two.
Current TV shows are 40 minutes long repending on 20 minutes of adverts to fill up the 1hour slot.
Why not make 40minute shows with 10 minutes of advertising (you will not have the overheads to support of one of the networks!)
but for heavens sake do NOT try to force us to watch the adverts... we don't have to do that now (simply using a VCR and forwarding through adverts, or just going out to make a cup of tea)
surely theres a businessman out there with some nouse...
There was NEVER a MAC III, and why? because they had VOWED that after the MONUMENTAL failure of the Apple/// they would never have a computer with that number...
If I where you I would keep this quiet or you will get a letter from the IRS asking when you are coming over to cut their grass (and they have a lot of grass)
Don't forget, downloading does not stop when the tracker dies.
Current transfers will continue (hopefully to completion)
Unfortunately, what will probably happen is that as torrent downloads complete, current seeders will stop seeding. Leaving the current unfinished downloads stranded.
Please folks, leave your current seeds open until you see traffic drop to zero for at least a coupla days.
I always wait until September when all the new shows start in the states (they only get here in January-March time) I download many pilots and then start tracking a series...
And I am sorry, but the plot and character development of series is much more interesting in many series (Buffy, Angel, West Wing, Sopranos, Scrubs, ER, Gilmore Girls...) simply because they have more time and more situations in which to exercise the characters.
TV can be MUCH more interesting than a Film that has a single story to tell and a very short time in which to tell it.
I must also point out that I would not be at all averse to watching SOME adverts as part of downloadable content (say 10-15%) I am constantly appauled at the 33% of time taken with adverts in broadcast and cable setups.
Not really, reading Paragraph 56 says that while the application is talking about the implementation in Basic, it states that the actual requested "coverage" of the patent includes any other "embodiment" of the underlying idea of the operator... so it would seem that the above C macro would be caught too... stupid idea if ever there was one, you could just as easily patent the equate operator.
Well, not really, this is more like those cheesy helicopter rides you can have from your local airfield! And we all know how economically significant that is!
How about a Y-Prize...
The first private craft capable of docking with the ISS?
I realise there are some issues with allowing a competition where the aim is to TRY to dock with something that expensive. But it would be a real shame if the X-Prize worked out the same as the US efforts to visit the moon...
We cant stop now and simply say "ok, done that"...
its GOT to be "ok, done that, next step..."
the X-Prize CANNOT be seen as an end in itself, but a stepping stone to the REAL commercialisation of space.
The new company BH electric have harnessed a radically new and almost limitless energy source.
They have mounted Bill Hicks' body to the central shaft of their generating facilities and can now report (after having significant re-engineering work done to gear down the shaft speed) that their production plant will be able to supply the energy needs of the entire west coast of the USA.

Like samsung phones, washing machines....
Ok, so, silverlight is a breeze?

Land of the free. SINGULAR!
So...
Bittorrent causes Piracy
but
Guns don't kill people
Ok, just so we can get our stories straight.
Oh, and BTW, I went to see Revenge of the Sith Yesterday at the Cinema with my Son, Packed house.

Just wait a month/week/day and there will be a new rootkit specifically engineered to be undetectable.
Its like publishing your own personal list of spam filter rules... as soon as you do, all the spammers use this to work out a wrinkle.

/// they would never have a computer with that number...
In the MAC line there was...
Mac
Mac II
There was NEVER a MAC III, and why? because they had VOWED that after the MONUMENTAL failure of the Apple
so they went on to the Quadra line.
Can I just ask what on earth you where doing outsourcing product development.
Outsourcing is for your restaurant, your rubbish disposal, office cleaning, any other non-essential work.
Anything that is NOT CORE BUSINESS!
Product development IS core business.
Outsourcing that is just paying to build a competitor.
If I where you I would keep this quiet or you will get a letter from the IRS asking when you are coming over to cut their grass (and they have a lot of grass)
Hmmmm, BITTORRENT is a tool with non-infringing uses and so is legal...
If suprnova had hosted legal content as well (say torrent files for Mandrake Linux) would it too have been a tool with non-infringing uses?
Just a thought.

Sorry, But here is NEXT YEARS perfect DRM scheme.
The product does not actually ship...
you receive a black box and a set of TRODES.
connecting these to your head, causes a memory of having listened to the music to be recorded directly into your brain...
no muss, no fuss... the year after that, they will even make you LIKE it too!
Not really so....

Hmmm, this was definitely true when Rob wrote it, but if it is not false now, its not through lack of trying...
I think we should dig RAH and BillHicks up and use their furious spinning to solve the energy crisis...
you just watch... it aint the same world...
I suppose, if your email system is unavailable for a large proportion of the day rebooting and applying patches, you will receive less spam.
Just a thought.

On a lighter note....
All world energy problems cured over night.

This simply will not work.
It is yet another example of a technological fix to the wrong problem...
you don't need age and gender verification of the person sitting in a classroom at a computer.
you need age verification for that geezer sitting in his basement 2,300 miles away... or even 1.5 miles away.
Yet another example of techies selling snakeoil...
they should be ashamed.
Worse than that, it will foster an unsafe feeling of security in teachers, parents AND children.
EE Doc Smith knew this 60 years ago! Read the Lensman series
what technology can devise, technology can defeat.
Just not good enough!

It WAS illegal to fileshare copyrighted content without consent
Now it is illegal to fileshare copyrighted content without consent if you don't include your email...
I do not understand, is it NOW LEGAL to fileshare copyrighted content without consent if you DO include your email address?
Exactly how has this
ahhh, the light dawneth... previously, filesharing copyrighted material without consent was a civil matter, not it is a legal/criminal matter...
So, the content owners have managed to foist the cost of enforcement off onto the go-varmint.
Your tax dollars at work! (not mine, I don't live in the good old US of A)
If everyone with a website hosted 10 files with names containing key-phrases...
the cost of the extra legal effort of sending all those letters would be a decent protest to the whole mess...
