Reading this article I suddenly realized I am not using warez anymore for maybe six or seven years. (And I dont even know the names of the groups mentioned, strange...)
That's the time about I was beginning to switch to linux fading out windows only slowly because I was addicted to some games I bought as "originals". Today, 'doze are gone forever.
What is evident, these days there is no a single reason for using warez anymore. Open source filled the money/technology gap for poor people and/or countries. THAT is effectively a new revolution. Warez people historically demonstrated the simple fact that information has no atomic identity nor can be owned by subject. Open source movement is driven by the very same principal idea, a sharing of information constructs. I see that as a natural priciple, delimiting a beginning of an information age of the society.
In human history, any opposition to discovered natural principles by means of legal acts and sheer power led always to failures and sometimes to disasters. I believe same will happen to so-called intellectual property, patents on ideas and copy-right. It's only a matter of time.
LET'S BRING IN OPEN TECHNOLOGY, OPEN CULTURE, OPEN KNOWLEDGE, OPEN SOCIETY. Anything closed cannot withstand it in terms of history.
Remember, in Europe, it was only 200 years ago people were criminalized, jailed and executed for ideas of personal freedom, voting rights for women or 16-hour working day. And America was even far behind, with it's slavery. Today, a sharing music by children is a crime. One must ask, is this law "for people"? I shall oppose such law. No matter I never got a single mp3 file.
first Bank Transfer via Quantum Cryptography Based on Entangled Photons
I would expect transfering some data would be pretty ok, but they entangled and transfered a bank? Unbelievable. Did some bank office clerks survive their quantum encryption?
...why the p2p technology is so weak. It should not be so hard to implement the stuff with those security precautions:
- all direct traffic encrypted - grant direct connection only to trusted peers - for non-trusted peer, a connection negotiation with the help of the trusted peer chain only - random proxying: non trusted peer receives via randomly selected node, who acts as a proxy, effectively hiding IP of the origin
For me, it's too late. I have already migrated to another platform. On windows, I spent many years fighting a microsoft compiler not conforming to a C++ standard, as well as underdocumented APIs. That was a main motivation for my first try of Linux, some two years ago. And today, I am completely Windows-less.
Unholy Cathedral was a boss level in the Diablo II, if I remember correctly. Also a Doom mod. Anyway, my personal opinion is, as a chaos magician I really DO prefer xians operating virtually, rather than inside consensual reality. Makes certain efforts much easier.

The only real issue is that switching sound between the two 'sides' is currently manual (either plug/unplug speakers, or a switchbox, or a splitter)
Did you tried *two* soundcards, preferably PCI devices?
It comes to the cybernetics from the computational theory of math. "Anything which can be done in hardware can be also done in software and vice versa". There is nothing which can prevent emulation of DRM hardware in software. Of course, a legal law coud be enforced to suppress a nature law, but it looks rather silly to me. Human social paradigm is shifting, shame on those who cannot see it.
Some twenty years ago, my friend and I we made some about a kilogram of pure gold from computer parts by dirty and costly chemical work, mainly from russian mainframe parts (remember "Minsk" anyone?). One russian card contained 10x more gold than japanese memory card or french connector mainly because of thickness, western parts are practically of no use.
The problem with the pure gold was it was contaminated with about 0.9% of mix of platinum and iridium so it was much harder then normal soft pure gold. It was not usable for local dentist nor for making jewellery.
We did not find any usable process how to separate platinum and/or iridium from the gold, so the only practical purpose of the pure gold was.. a magic stick.
that governments led by religious fanatics are more attracted to bust any sexual activities. It is deep residuum in human society connected with the ethology of apes (primates). Humans who are free in sexual context are more difficult to mind control and they resist more to indoctrination, such as ideology or advertising. It has to do something with brain chemistry as well as with spiritual value of sexual freedom.
There is only one real sin of human being, a sin of monotheism.
If it is the case that firing off a 'suspicious query' notification to 'the authorities' introduces a noticeable latency, then that is appalling software engineering. Do you really suspect Google of that?
Yes. I can speculate the system was not designed with surveillance in mind, but the feature has been added lately on external requirement. So implementation could be rather a hack than quality engineering solution.
Echelon is hooked into ISPs, not into Google.
Any usian authority over foreign ISPs? That may or may not work, but hooking Google surely gives immediate and timely results when people ask some interesting subjects as "aceton peroxyde" or "ceramic knife".
What happen to reality if chaos magic sorcerer casts chaobolt on chaos computer calculating a chaotic attractor? Several practical test showed that results are algorithmically unpredictable, which I already predicted, but I am unable to prove it theoretically, because of proven impossibility to construct a theory in which it could be proved.
Gmail service is natural step in Google's provision, because Google actually *is* the Echelon. A capability of matching search activities and personalities is a missing feature for its controllers, for sure.
You can check Google's behavior difference in handling "normal" and "dangerous" 5-word queries by comparing amount of processing time. It differs by order of magnitude 10 or more. Google is definitely communicating somewhere *before* issuing a reply.
Varied results are given with traceroute communications to Google, and it would be an interesting community project to create a network map of near-to-Google topology. An example of device of interest is 64.233.175.250, just before Google machinery, as seen from Europe. It is supposedly part of Google network, but it's trip time is not adequate to be located in California. What this box is? And who does it serve?

I would like to see Maya at Sourceforge. THAT would be a news for nerds and stuff that matters.
Since I completely switched to linux (all 6 machines), I am determined to ignore any Microsoft rants on Slashdot. Don't tempt me, please!
That's my question. I doubt the answer will ever be positive, so I am not interested.
The law we *really* need is a law that says for every new law passed, two should be removed from the books.
In meta-logic, that would be a meta-law.

Is it possible to use DMCA and/or intelectual property rights, such as copyright to prosecute censoring? It would be cool.

Let me express my thanks to all open source developers who brought me freedom of choosing not to use microsoft products at all.
