Not only do they protect the most sensitive organ in your body, the brain, they protect you from the alien mind-control satellites and they muffle the transmission from the secret spy transmitter the NSA had installed in one of your molars.
I suggest lining a baseball cap with the tinfoil. I do, and it saves me a lot of stares and comments. I think the aliens have caught on to the source of immunity, the hat, and have programmed their drone minions to ostracize me into taking it off.
AOL doesn't have to go through NSI, Inc, not the courts, to change the domain. They are an approved registrar and as such have access to the root nameservers. Why bring the issue up in court, spending money on laywers and getting your name in the press when you can quietly steal the domain!
Lemme get this straight.. I pay $7.50 for $4 of CD-R at the local CompUSA, three-fifty goes to the 'tax'. If I use them to pirate some big name band, the band makes more money than if I had bought the CD?
Pirate away boys! It seems it's the only way to support the artist!
Wrong. The program was/is legal, using it without leave of the patent holder was not. I can write program after program using the 'patented' method, at any time, with no fear of being sued so long as I only use the program for personal educational purposes.
Now I can give the program away or sell it without having to pay a fee to RSA.
But alas! They're still selling the original TNT chipset as well. That's not legacy support. Legacy support would be getting NVidia to release Windows 9x drivers for my NVidia-cloned Hercules 2000.
I don't know if this is the proper way or place to respond to this, but I have it on good first-person authority that Johanson was not the pioneer of CSS cracking, nor even one of the forst.. He just so happens to have written a pretty front end to the work of others, and thus ensured wider distrubution..
On a lighter but related note, I honestly hope that Mr. Johansen is forgotten quickly, as is this entire mess. DMCA is a bad law, is at conflist with natural and traditional readings of the law, and is undoubtably unconstitutional. If this is resolved quickly on appeal, no one but the money grubbing corporations beat back by its repeal will remember it..
I'd be far more worried about the decay rate of the U.S. dollar, i.e, inflation. You'd need a couple tons of gold and a very accurate scale to ever notice a difference within your lifetime..
Windows 98 is $189. You're pricing the braindamaged 'upgrade' version.
For comparison, I bought Windows 95 on release day for $149, and paid $89 for WfW six months after release. My copy of Office 95 cost me $189 on release, but copies of Office 97 are still running $239 today. I haven't bought, nor do I intend to buy, Win2K, ME, or Office2K, so I can't comment on their prices.
No.. The physical complexity moves it well beyond the realm of standard uname/passwd.. Not only does the cracker need a 10 digit number, he needs all 10,000,000,000 of them printed on paper, or a device capable of emulating the CueCat generating said number..
I can see this and their Linux ports as endeavors to ensure the respective Baby Bill's survive the inevitable split; MS management knows now that they won't be able to play later, so they're expanding the masrkets of both the future MS/APPS and MS/OS.
Or, looking at it in an evil way; They can't get away with OS/Applications market collusion, so they're expanding into markets the DOJ hasn't prosecuted them for..
Impossible to see; not visible.
Not accessible to view; hidden.
Not easily noticed or detected; inconspicuous.
I don't see anything in there about the method that must be employed, nor the relative difficulty. If you don't have a cognitive process going that says 'Gee, there's a geek over there', whether it is because your mind thinks I'm a leaf or because light passes through me with no resistance, I am invisible.
Saw one, a proof-of-concept for the visually handicapped.. A braille key, some TTL logic, and four wires to the serial port. About $30 in parts, cheapo $9 mouse included.
Couldn't find it in the IBM Patent database, so the concept is prolly free of licensing issues and such if you'd like to do it..
LiVid is where I got my last copy.. css-auth is the programs name. Otherwise you can find a working, albeit stale version at my homepage (click karma mafia gaff in.sig, click Download DeCSS in the link stew on top)
Exactly.. There isn't enough bandwidth on a 33.6 modem to make just leeching of Gnutella terribly appealing, let alone when half of your bandwidth is sucked upstream.
Indrema licensed the CSS routines from the DVD CCA. Unfortunatly, their product is vapor. I expect to actually see it Christmas season 2001.
The open source DVD player (Thank you!) uses a brute force attack against CSS to unlock the disc. CSS uses a dinky little key space that even my Commodore 64 could cover in a day. But it's slow, requiring almost all the horsepower of my dual Celery@500 and about half of my quad Xeon@450. It's perfectly able to play unencrypted DVDs as well, so those Taiwan-made pirate copies you can buy almost anywhere play without a hitch.
Redhat used to support serial terminals out-of-the-box. I know it still does on Sparc, because I just used it. Slap a nullmodem on the first serial port, set minicom for 9600 8N1. VT100 or ANSI, ANSI preferred. SuSe should support it as well. (Have seen it done, never actually done it however.)

Tinfoil hats.

5-pack of 'Audio only' Maxell CD-R, at BestBuy: $9.99. 5-pack of 'Data' CD-R, same specifications, same manufacturer, same store: $5.99.
;)
(I was there at lunch, bought a mislabelled 50-disc spindle of Sony for $19.99
This is typical of the CD-R pricing scheme. I assumed the inflated price was because of the tax. Silly me!

Umm, playing Unreal Tourney in a CAVE would require no more network bandwidth. It would require loads of processor power though.
I would patent stupidity, but there's too much prior "art".
Since when does prior art matter to the USPTO?
So I call up the Commander.
Please bring me my wine
He said
We don't have that spirit here.
Coz Hemos drank it all.
And still those posters are trolling

Physical brute force is less appealing..
If the AI will find humanity funny after being fed 900 million tidbits with none of the cynicism and 'I can't change it, so I don't give a damn'..
Or to put it another way:
Will his 'poodle' sketch be as ironically funny to an AI with only 899 million other bits of pop culture trash?
There is a Visual Basic VM implementation for Linux. http://www.softworksltd.com/vbvm.html has a little bit more information on it..
Please, feel free to enter your Visual Basic 5.0 or 6.0 programs! I like to laugh!!

Good one.. Had me laughing for a full minute..
No, you've got Gnome confused with Emacs again. Gnome is a very large program with pretentions to be Windows 98.
