"Third World lives are worth much less than the European lives. That is what colonialism was all about," said Srirupa Prasad, a visiting assistant professor of medical history and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Iam sure no one would refute that sad fact. It 'applies' not only for drug testing,but for everything today.
Then said authorities visit the file-sharer and simply physically scan their computer.
Thats low tech case...In another case i read,they found that the user was sharing 'this many' files,found what files they were,how long it has been on the HD before they visited the file sharer, and found that he had wiped his hard disk clean...and they aer still suing him !!!
* figures out how many songs were downloaded
* what songs were downloaded,How long the file was on the hard disk[If the user claims he downloaded the song only to sample,they counter by saying the file was never deleted]
* for how long the users has been doing this..
How the hell are these companies able to do this....we talk all the time about protecting the PC from Virus/Malware/spyware,we use antivirus/Firewall/router & all those things to protect the PC,But isnt there any protection from falling victim to these guys???No Software?
For any security hole in browser/OS we crib so much,but what about this BIG HOLE in our computers that allows these companies to do all snooping work??
I have always wondered,what type of commmunication is to communicate with far far away missions like Hubble? How does the signal reach earth?When signals are travelling through millions of miles through space,wont it weaken to nothing?
If MS wanted everyone to have SP2,it should have allowed all XP PC's to install- which it didnt - blocking the huge no. of pirated XP versions......ASAT.
For instance, Windows Media DRM has had remarkably few exploits given how high profile it is: the last was back in January IIRC and it was rapidly patched (so it no longer worked after a few weeks). Even then that crack didn't let you decrypt any arbitrary file: you had to actually purchase a license first. The current generation has remained uncracked for nearly a year.
With every software being cracked by crackers group,what makes WMA DRM so rigid that there is simply no way to crack it?[ Other than recording through Line-in which isnt great idea].

But which one is organic mercury & which one is inorganic mercury?
When I was in school,we had to do a experiment called " Simple Lens",in which
we had to measure the refractive index of lens under various conditions-air,water& mercury.....we were given a small bowl of mercury..we used to play withit, because it never seemed to stick to the body.....Is that organic/inorganic mercury.
I did wash my hands with soap after that,but now this thread has got me worried about it after so many years!!!:-(
And what about this white incandescent lamps [ Tube lights ]that are used in Asia.They are the normal lighting used in homes.Are they safe? [Probably,thats the reason why american homes are lit by yellows bulbs instead of incandescent tubes that give white light?]
How would it be to setup a counter bot to chat to the AOL bot & mess their HD & Kill their server !!!
If only someone could do that,it would be super news!!!
Spear-phishing, say security specialists, is much harder to detect than phishing. Bogus e-mail messages and Web sites not only look like near perfect replicas of communiqués from e-commerce companies like eBay or its PayPal service, banks or even a victim's employer, but are also targeted at people known to have an established relationship with the sender being mimicked. Its just phishing.Yea,it carries names of people whom you know.but they have always been around!What is so new here?
Is there any 'anti-virus' s/w that will remove the DRM infested wma files - that refuse to play in windows media player/mplayer2/ even winamp, and instead opens the DRM page in Msoft website?
Wait,I dont want to remove the file, but I want to remove the DRM & play the music.
Microsoft seems to be blindly copying whatever is coming out of Google these days.
Neither is Google innovating everything....only, google is buying out new technology instead of developing from scratch [ eg:keyhole,orkut etc].
And just because someone follows on , doesnt mean they cant succeed.
Apple's ipod was not the first mp3 player,was it?
How does it really matter if Archimedes really did it or not?Dont we know how to burn ships now?Of what use is it actually,finding it out,I wonder...- That he was intelligent?.
If many experiments dont yield the result,then it can be said " It cant be done"
If however,a single experiment yields the result,then it shows that" It can be done".The failure of the successive experiments does not necessarily invalidate the success of the expt.Coz it has been done!
