But there's a lot of things you might prefer to do that obviously aren't allowed. Just because you want to do something doesn't mean it's legal (or even ethical).
I _want_ to drive my car with a short, straight-pipe exhaust with no cat. I much prefer that, because my car is more fast, more fun, and gets better gas mileage that way.
While I agree that most people will use anonymity for general douchebaggery (pirating, etc), there are a few uses that I mentioned before that are very good uses for it, but they're more used for anonymous communication, not file sharing (I know they're both bits on a wire, but I mean the principle of the idea). Whistleblowers, ethical violation pointer-outers, and opponents of the current government can use anonymity for it's intended purposes, being able to point out people doing bad stuff without losing your own job (and possibly more, depending on how bad they are).
B (the guy sharing the file, and thus liable, the **AA usually gets the sharers, not the downloaders) still has his IP given to C though. A is anonymous, but B is not.
Really though, this doesn't sound so anonymous anyway. All the **AA has to do is set up a bunch of "C" machines, and keep logs.
I do appreciate the ability for anonymity though (despite my dripping sarcasm), despite the fact that 99.99% of people will just use it to anonymously pirate things. I think the main use I can think of for actual anonymity is for use in political situations; to report ethics violations of the bad-guys, to point out crapulence in the government, etc.
Now I can anonymously download all of those legal Linux distributions, and non-licensed music I've been holding off on, and nobody will be the wiser, mwahahaha!
Yes, I believe they are standard Athlon 64 socket-types (939). Pretty much any motherboard will be able to support them with nothing more than a BIOS upgrade (if that)
So far, all of these (except the building heights one) have been uses that are easily already covered by Google maps. Having an isometric view vs. a straight-on view may help, but all of the information is still there. Is there anything that Keyhole _can_ do that Google Maps very definitely and specifically can not (other than eye-candy)?
Other than the "wow neat" factor, and nifty interface, what are some actual uses/features in Keyhole/Google Earth that aren't covered by things like Google Maps.
Ford Motor Company has known about this for years. Their "security" systems consist of a little blinking red LED on the dashboard when the doors are locked. It never actually does anything, you can smash the car into a thousand pieces, and the LED will continue to just blink as long as it has power, and the doors stay locked. There's no security system other than that. I've been meaning to buy some lowjack stickers one of these days:D
Newsflash! There's no such thing as perfect security, who would have thought it? Whether it be through a flaw in the code (which we all try to fix, when they are found), or stupid users running crap they oughtn't.
I for one use Firefox, because it is MUCH more secure than IE. It may not be perfect, but it's by far good enough for regular use.
That's like saying that houses aren't secure, even the new model homes with electronic alarm systems. No crap, but that doesn't mean sell the alarm systems and leave your front door unlocked (like IE).
Nintendo DS - the touchscreen and microphone are used in very interesting ways in some of the games. "Feel the Magic" involves a few minigames where you have to blow out candles, or blow a sailboat across a lake. There's also a few yelling games, but I'm usually embarassed by blowing into my portable game console already, hehe. There's the "Wario Ware" game which I haven't played, but looks similar, with interesting mini-games.
There is true variety out there, the DS does it for me, and it's great to pick up anywhere you have a spare minute.
Because they're not just uploading to one person per month. People are liable for what they are liable for, because they upload to a bunch of people per month, just like Yahoo probably pays the RIAA a great deal per month.
Right! They should call it a Beta-Battery, like as indicated in the info, or something like that, so it sounds happy and friendly, and the hippies won't catch on.
Yes ridicule + scorn, because the way they are going about it is by applying a band-aid (which they charge you for) instead of fixing the _actual_ problem (the holes that allow viruses on in the first place).
To use an analogy I saw a couple posts up, that would be like GM selling cars without any brakes, and then charging later for their add-on high-impact bumper, so when you hit stuff, you won't break hte car. They should just sell a goddamn working car in the first place.
The thing is, he might be getting rid of less heat total, but he's evening out the average heat of the board, which is a good thing. The parts of the board in an air-cooled rig that would be really hot are down at the same level as the rest of the oil, no hot spots, which is the benefit.
Ever watched any automobile-based dirt racing (usually american style, not rally)? Often times, they'll replace the windshield with an actual screen (sometimes reinforced with fence material) to keep out the bigger rocks. Dirt and stuff is expected to get inside anyway, so why bother with it.

Now that's an extremely excellent use of anonymity - freedom from marketing slimeballs.

That's a pretty great subject line right there. These are like second grade mistakes.
But, I guess we're all headed for a chatroom-English world anyway.

I've been eyeing a mac-mini for just such a purpose. Do you use Macintosh stuff, or Linux stuff on your mac to accomplish all that?
-Jesse
I can imagine an even better use: electric automobiles. Run 100,000 miles on a tank of tritium :)

Just imagine how many different models of CD(or whatever)-ROMs we're going to need now, and how many sub-versions (a-la DVD-R, DVD+R) we'll have.
The packaging on burners will look something like this:
16x4x16x DVD+RW / 12x4x16x DVD-RW / 5x DVD+R DL / 4x HD DVD+R / 32X HD3-DVD1-R+RW / etc / etc
