They definately have something up their sleve. Playing around with their software they seem to have evreything so modular it seems to be a page ripped from a book.
The possibilities for Google are quite huge as they are the only ones in the market that have a short term ability to take M$ out. Personally I believe they are using adwords to sit on until their next step is fully functional. What better then a full OS? It would be the smartest thing to do, it would run out of a browser, hell it could even run off of a usb key to bootstrap and your off to the races.
I think it would be awesome to be able to goto any computer stick in a usb key / password and all my IM / emails / phone calls / notes appear on the screen. No matter if I'm at a computer at home/work/on the go it will always work. I bet Google can make one hell of a run with this. Also how M$ has barricaded themselves in the market I don't think they have the flexibility that google has.
Google is definately going to last, just wait and see;)
If there was a way to meet with just one member of the network then you could be introduced to all the members through them. As a previous poster mentioned i2p would be cool for this or similar where a single packed with a call back address was the only thing sent. You would get a call back and get onto the system.
Another possiblity (although I haven't done any research on it) would be a DDDNS where nodes would play 'pass the hot potatoe' with a URL or some type of identifier. That way that too would be distributed and harder (if not impossible) to shut down.
I am curious and would like to ask the experienced of the crowd, can hashes be examined for similarities of their sources?
For example if I was to post a torrent of an ISO and someone else was posting a the same content but for whatever reason a few bits are out of wack. Could a hash be used to determine a similartity?
If so a cool feature would be when you post a torrent it would do an automatic search for similar content and give the poster a chance to reconsider before posting it again. This would end multiple trackers for similar files?
I tend to agree with your theory. One thing I would like to add is I believe the next evoution will psychological. I'm shocked no one here sees it.
Ask your self, 'why are computers so popular?'. They are not 'really' necessary to us in the human ecosystem relationship and we could have comeup with diffrent ways of accomplishing the same tasks. But we do share something with computers, logic. People seem to gravitate to it want to play with it and all the years have only gotten more complex, people still are intrested.
The funny thing is somehow people with out knowing what is going on behind the scenes still have a desire to change it and interract with it more intimately, bring in OSS.
Keep in mind that a holocaust involves one thing more that anything else, hate. That is where it starts then comes the agression, of course this may not be death but may be procecution of thoughts and ideas unfamiliar to thier own. This is the same thing M$ is trying to do by first influincing the kids and hopes in turn influences clueless parents, and continues ad nauseum.
With the present day being unbalanced as it is the scary thing is do you know for sure how far M$ is willing to take this?
Thought Thieves is about people stealing and profiting from your creation or innovation. Think about it: how would you feel if you saw your hard work being passed off as the property of someone else? What would you do?
This is a bad way of advertising and I'm suprised it got past Redmond to get on the net like this. And the really disgusting thing is lets say you have a pool of 1000 kids one of them will most likely come up with an idea that child could earn millions off of.
Microsoft with this is bringing their IP BS to joe six pack, which will be intresting on 2 parts, to see how many parents are eager to have thier children participate and two, to see what kind of ideas these kids can come up with.
Don't forget M$ has lead off on a heavy foot by telling kids "Thought's are being 'stolen'", if you think back (way back for some;) ) if some one told you there were people stealing thoughts you would be petrified because you think some one is going to take 'your brain' or that magical stuff thats inside it and you would never be able to enjoy it again.
Since this is false any way and would also be easy to disprove to a kid (i.e if it gets bad enough parents and even law officers should have no problem letting them know thats not the way it works
On top of it after getting their heads fucked like this is going to make them paranoid. During a class some kid is going make a bitch and whine ceremony and excuses saying jimmy or sally 'stole' my thoughts.
Ok I can't rant anymore but something in the back of my head tells me M$ is on their way down...
You seem to refer to social engineering as the best method of faking todays ID's and the subtle nuances of a familiar card.
You forget that those who come to you with out of state ID's are familiar with the same nuances and that is why they come to you with 'foriegn' ID. Wouln't that mean they know the diff between good and bad? They will still be able to make 'raw' cards that are virgin the only problem with that is it will take years and by then there will be no turing back for the guberment.
The funny thing about your post is you seem to be proud that out of all the accomplishments you've achived by using this card you compare a terrorist bombing / killing / stabbing / whatever people to a 'poor college kid' trying to get a beer a year or two early? I would gladly give an 18-19 year old a case of beer in exchange for the 'terrorist' of the month to be stopped, if thats the best result we can come up with then is this system really worth it?
One thing I would be intrested in is the diffrence from a million dollar idea and a million dollar person.
This country is based on the grasping for that one idea that will be able to be extorted in some way to make money. Thus the IP rush.
These 'one hit wonders' of the IP world want that one idea to make them money for life. I think if you come up with one idea in most cases it will make you a tidy sum but the only ones who will make the big bucks will be the people who deserve it, those who work hard and are extremely smart. Those are the ones who invent light bulbs and electricty (or equiv of course) that as a society is what we need. IP has become more of a press issue then material inventing anyway.
Something I think would be cool is an EASY way of viewing the ideas and being able find IP that I can use in my projects and go from there. I think it would be cool to sit infront of a google like interface and look up some amazing algorithym that will turn my app from parent basement to production, that benifits the public, implimenter and the inventor.
Thats good but on top of that the one thing she needs is emotion.
Next time she sais something about OSS that almost makes you cry it's so full of shit, just laugh.
For evrey person that gives her the time of day, a slighted look, or a full out flame basting its a +1 in her book.
Don't give the dog her bone.
Shes just trying to influence the plebs that don't know linux from dinnerware and we are looking like tards fighting with her because she is a tard. People see that, they may not have a clue what an OS is but they know emotion. This bitch is a one trick pony I will assure you that she is nothing more than a passing fad and once ignored who will bother writing about her?
If someone was to do some research on where her articles are posted / published you will notice that they are only there because nerds check out the site to froth over her. Really how many joe-six packs do you know would follow something like this? None
If you ignore her she will dry up and disappear like a genital wart. She has no future in the industy and if the nerds brush her off where do you think she will go from there? Hollywood, Springer?
Sad thing is the only people taking her seriously is us.

The projector has a theoritical resolution of lets say 1000x1000 (1,000,000 projection locations). One by one shines out white light, a camera captures the resulting color. The reciever (camera, photocell) takes those and puts them in order to form your picture.
So its taking light that is 'clean' and gets filtered based on the target(which is equivalent to the way we see) and that filtered light gets reflected. Being in position to catch that reflection allows us to know what color that point is. Luckily projectors are fairly percice and can shine a beam of light on a fairly percise target (top left corner of a playing card) to get the result.
These are only parts of the puzzle. Don't forget they need developers to screw and implement with it. How many startups do you know are willing to read sdk's and figure it a cost of doing business?
In reality the only community I know willing to go this far interms of customization is Linux. I don't think many developers would know what to do with M$ source code especially since they would be scared of the licence. How about if they write a nice app and M$ suits knock on the door demanding a cut or take all of your developers giving them more $$?
In reality I think its just a pr move. If anything Linux guys should use it for techniques (don't rip the code) to improve OSS or even take it as advice where other avenues should be explored.
By the way I do think some kind of OSS voice recodnition would be really cool as the integration could even make it next to the kernel:)
In terms of the universe in which we are members we are infants. We in just the last 100 years got electricty in our homes and we think we have reached our pinnicle? In terms of it all we just started.
The most unintelligent thing of all is to say a God created us from tip to toe out of nowhere and for shits and giggles threw us on this planet. Next you will say that you have approved sources that we are the only life in the universe. Why not? If there were others then God would have told us right?
Does it not make more sence that the Universe its self has the capabilities of life and we formed as a result?
Again I would like to point out if you put down our ego and seriously look at our existence, we just got here. In terms of the universe we are just a blink of an eye. Do you really feel that a book that was meant to help us was merely just a users manual? Or since God would know us better than our parents maybe made the book so when it was first read it gave those people courage to feel they did know it all and it gives us today the knowlege that we know nothing?
The thing that makes me gag on all of this is that the only reason they are doing this is to *KEEP* 90% market share. M$ will never ever walk into a discussion where they would stand to lose market share they would rather hang themselves by their overly expensive silk ties.
Just to be sure get someone to sit down and say we will hold your hand if you let us in on 25% of *YOUR* market share. The silence that procedes will be aww inspiring.
Like really why would the company that has software installed on evrey machine on the planet want to extend an olive branch to the little guy upstart? To take OSS under their wing? OSS is structured completely opposite to M$, and M$ is no likely to give anything other than scraps.
If that is such a patriotic cause then why is the guberment not demanding conversion boxes be given for free or at a small charge?
I think the reason people are still reluctant is that it has all the makings of a sales pitch. If you are a governing body of 200+ million people, would you really do it like this? Most companies only wanted the governament to be in on paper so Best Buy and the others can have their sales people take advantage of you. Why haven't we heard dubya say 'we need to move forward, evreybody gets a box for $10'?
Well boys and girls that's because those greedy bastards wanted you to spend $2000 on a new TV and maybe a DVD player and home audio system(all which have to be digitial compatible of course)
There are good reasons for the switch but the public seems to be able to smell a cheat when they see one. Until then you will not have your scarse resrouce and don't forget you have no right to the use of the spectrum (unless you purchace it from the FCC) so pull your head out of your ass.
Why not just tell him why he has to sign a contract?
The problem today is people feel intimidated. No longer do they get burnt on a $20 item and learn a lesson. Now they are legaly bound for terms of years or longer to companies and if they do have problems they hear stories on how they should have read the fine print or the back of page 5 of the brohure.
If in turn the 'guy on stage' said well you should sign because of...(list of benifits) that most likely would have shut him up and made him look like the good guy. But since he stood there holding his dick (presuming he had one) it make him look like nothing really comes to mind and we are just trying to fuck you, shut up and take it.
Now that last way is the best way to piss people off, if that is what your goal is of course;)
OSS is still just starting. Once one of these apps or games get notice other than in the community I firmly believe will catch like wildfire.
Many of you bitch and whine but by doing that we can all see you are just sitting on your ass hoping that mom brings you down your next warm milk and cookies. You will be the people who cheer that they have been pro OSS all along when it does become big.
At this point OSS is not at the level it needs to, to come up with new genres and the such. They have gotten a game out though. Wheres your code we would love to see it!
Anyway does't the GPL only require the source be handed out when the software(or document in this case) is handed out.
Well when was the last time you gave someone a document in full view where they could distinguish the font and did not allow them to read the text on the paper?
The funny thing is that fonts are representations of data. In reality no more than just pictures. So if a paper was made using a GPL'd font then you must share the font its self not necessarily the sequence you represent them in. I could have a paper written in times new roman and change it to another.
Another thing to look at as well is when it is stored in binary format is the font its self stored as well? If not then as long it is not being displayed the font is not effecting it there is no real link other than a tag that may point to the font as a prefrence.
It would really depend on what the circumstances are if some one demanded you to reveal the contents of a document because it was believed it was written in a GPL'd font would the order matter or if it is not being displayed then what part of it is GPL'd since the font you chose to view it in has no lasting effect on the content?
Definately something that would have to be revamped and surely something that was unintentional other wise if this was to be publicized would kill the GPL if people make this occurance and the GPL congruent in thier minds.
I can't believe a nervous breakdown counts as an interview.
"It sounds like a good thing, but the trouble is someone will have to design it, someone will have to upgrade it, someone will have to maintain it and someone will have to run it." And well who will do that? You? Make evreyone sign a contract?
Why don't we do it like this, we own the medium and anyone who wants to can provide the access. If there is money in it then people will jump, run and craw to get a piece of the action.
It's almost like people in general don't realize, for the first time in many, many years there is a new generation of 'wires' that in some way are not owned yet. Of course these guys are tripping over eachother to make sure they own it cause then their current business model can continue, "pay us, fuck you".
The man goes on to bitch and whine about customer service issues about people expectation of service when no matter what time or day you talk to them they talk about their amazing coverage. They charge extra for their 'coverage', now he complains that he is sitting on a 95 billion dollar market and people are unhappy that their phones don't work in elevators, and basements. 95 billion dollars cannot buy these guys enough R&D or time on the clock to do this for people, again 'pay us, fuck you'.
When most think of a high power executative as some one who is reserved and does't like to blast their own customers during interviews for expecting too much from him, but there he is.
Like I said these companies are going to fight tooth and nail because as we all know they would cholke and die with out thier wires now we don't need thier wires anymore and they try to whine about our lack, incompetence and innability. No back up to say something about solutions just irritating bitching.
The biggest mistake the movie ind. can make is involving the little guy, the average joe in this copyright thing. Right now it only involves the geeks and the industries. Once mom's and dad's get in on this and back it coppiers will become commodity items in the underground and make these guys look like iddiots.
If any knows it should be these guys is that "Money can buy almost anything". Especially incentive for some norwegian to find some way to break in and become world renown.
Makes you wonder how much longer these guys will be in business .
Most of these laws were made when no one could broadcast their opinions efficiently. Now with the web anyone with a computer and a connection can almost equivently distribute their opinions.
Now the question is should online "journalism" become free-speach or should free-speach become journalism?
This is what is happening. If it becomes journalism then all the old laws apply to today and bureaucracy follows, those who are in control over news papers and mags will have control(or seek) over online blogs. If all becomes free-speach then it gives us all more leeway but not as much intrest by organizations to pump money into.
This will be an important choice hope it works out for the best.

Now that last way is the best way to piss people off, if that is what your goal is of course
Your already modded down so ...
OSS is still just starting. Once one of these apps or games get notice other than in the community I firmly believe will catch like wildfire.
Many of you bitch and whine but by doing that we can all see you are just sitting on your ass hoping that mom brings you down your next warm milk and cookies. You will be the people who cheer that they have been pro OSS all along when it does become big.
At this point OSS is not at the level it needs to, to come up with new genres and the such. They have gotten a game out though. Wheres your code we would love to see it!
If a state does offer WIFI then would they allow a 3d party to offer private (pay) access?
Anyway does't the GPL only require the source be handed out when the software(or document in this case) is handed out.
Well when was the last time you gave someone a document in full view where they could distinguish the font and did not allow them to read the text on the paper?
The funny thing is that fonts are representations of data. In reality no more than just pictures. So if a paper was made using a GPL'd font then you must share the font its self not necessarily the sequence you represent them in. I could have a paper written in times new roman and change it to another.
Another thing to look at as well is when it is stored in binary format is the font its self stored as well? If not then as long it is not being displayed the font is not effecting it there is no real link other than a tag that may point to the font as a prefrence.
It would really depend on what the circumstances are if some one demanded you to reveal the contents of a document because it was believed it was written in a GPL'd font would the order matter or if it is not being displayed then what part of it is GPL'd since the font you chose to view it in has no lasting effect on the content?
Definately something that would have to be revamped and surely something that was unintentional other wise if this was to be publicized would kill the GPL if people make this occurance and the GPL congruent in thier minds.
I can't believe a nervous breakdown counts as an interview.
"It sounds like a good thing, but the trouble is someone will have to design it, someone will have to upgrade it, someone will have to maintain it and someone will have to run it." And well who will do that? You? Make evreyone sign a contract?
Why don't we do it like this, we own the medium and anyone who wants to can provide the access. If there is money in it then people will jump, run and craw to get a piece of the action.
It's almost like people in general don't realize, for the first time in many, many years there is a new generation of 'wires' that in some way are not owned yet. Of course these guys are tripping over eachother to make sure they own it cause then their current business model can continue, "pay us, fuck you".
The man goes on to bitch and whine about customer service issues about people expectation of service when no matter what time or day you talk to them they talk about their amazing coverage. They charge extra for their 'coverage', now he complains that he is sitting on a 95 billion dollar market and people are unhappy that their phones don't work in elevators, and basements. 95 billion dollars cannot buy these guys enough R&D or time on the clock to do this for people, again 'pay us, fuck you'.
When most think of a high power executative as some one who is reserved and does't like to blast their own customers during interviews for expecting too much from him, but there he is.
Like I said these companies are going to fight tooth and nail because as we all know they would cholke and die with out thier wires now we don't need thier wires anymore and they try to whine about our lack, incompetence and innability. No back up to say something about solutions just irritating bitching.
Have your breakdown on your own time .
You bet,
Greed will kill them faster than anything else.
The biggest mistake the movie ind. can make is involving the little guy, the average joe in this copyright thing. Right now it only involves the geeks and the industries. Once mom's and dad's get in on this and back it coppiers will become commodity items in the underground and make these guys look like iddiots.
If any knows it should be these guys is that "Money can buy almost anything". Especially incentive for some norwegian to find some way to break in and become world renown.
Makes you wonder how much longer these guys will be in business .
Just a thought.
Most of these laws were made when no one could broadcast their opinions efficiently. Now with the web anyone with a computer and a connection can almost equivently distribute their opinions.
Now the question is should online "journalism" become free-speach or should free-speach become journalism?
This is what is happening. If it becomes journalism then all the old laws apply to today and bureaucracy follows, those who are in control over news papers and mags will have control(or seek) over online blogs. If all becomes free-speach then it gives us all more leeway but not as much intrest by organizations to pump money into.
This will be an important choice hope it works out for the best.
wouldn't you just be able to get a strong magnet, or is that just an old wives tale?
