I agree with you in all statements. Even the one about what am I talking about because I am making a long shoot statement about mainstream opinion.
Having an aura is weird - if the ATM case became major headlines then I could imagine that CMU would be seen as another failed attempt at developing better software. Yes, regardless that CMU is the victim. What I am saying is that the Software (or mainstream media) world would associate CMU with hacked software and their quality image would be deprecated.
Now we can all say that they are the victims but lets go back to any major headline - Janet Jackson and the super bowl; it is now associated a major censorship movement with what is wrong with kids today (or makeup whatever you see it as today). Is it right wrong? Of course but it is fact that public opinion is hard to sway and has strange effects.
A few have written about diminishing returns in terms of size, but these are the future.
Soon as Bluetooth can stream video and sunglasses have video monitor then theses devices will show a logical step towards the future. PDA will become wrist computers; later fully wearable computers with sunglasses to rival plasma screens. After that, who knows (only progress will tell)?
By the way; I put on a 3d simulation helmet the other day - not quite fashionable but a step in the direction of wearable.
We all at slashdot would like to bash MS for this. But somehow, it has a reciprocal effect that very few realize. Carnegie Mellon (CM) is highly recognized for software and quality. Now it gives me doubt over their institute for having a system that crashed. I know their not directly the cause or effect but the shadow somehow hovers over CM more than Microsoft. Years from now there may be an article about the first ATM to be hacked and it was at CM but probably no mention of MS.
Well as a buyer your life is easier if you just go on the assumption that it's broke. Yeah there are some items that wind up working but I wish your 75% statistic could be used across all of Ebay (I would be very surprised with 10%).
Yeah it sucks for the buyer to get an AS IS item and its their fault for bidding but Ebay should have a specific search parameter or heading specifically designating its and AS IS part.
I agree - but shouldn't the producer of the obscenity be held liable?
But then the Shady area would the definition of porn. Most adult movies have the disclaimer that it is to only be used for education/scientific purpose to get around the obscenity label. Without that disclaimer, the producer (not a movie director) would be charged with producing obscene material.
In my original statement, the originator of the obscenity would be liable not the just the broadcaster. The broadcaster should be fined for allowing it yes - but could you imagine getting brought into court for saying many 4 letter words at a football game?
About a year ago I still used Ebay but moved away from it. I found better deals new at local stores (go figure?). I got so tired of buying a DVD and it was a suspicious looking printed label in foreign languages products not quite as described showing up a few months latter.
But here is some rules that need to be implemented or followed by any buyer:
1) No credit accepted no thank you and that goes for PayPall too (don't ever link your bank account to any service including tanning salons)
2) AS IS - means it broke guaranteed (I wish I could filter these out)
3) For Me I buy USA - must be a person located in the US of A or no sale
4) Ebay's Fraud Protection is pitiful you're out 25 bucks from the start with a long wait. Ref http://pages.ebay.com/help/confidence/questions/pr otection-program.html
5) Don't worry about letting an item go to a higher bidder - It isn't a challenge.
6) Ratings don't mean any thing when your out the money - there should be a better rating system (anyone think Slashdot could help there)
While watching TV it is really funny when a rowdy audience is near a commentator at a football game and you hear the F bomb in the background. Who would they go after then? Odds are the FCC would go after the broadcast station but shouldn't the person that produced the obscenity be brought to justice? In the case of Bono, the FCC will probably go after him since he is a big enough target but not as big as the broadcasting company.
It wouldn't be so bad if you owed royalties when you bought the music. I mean when you buy a song then its your to put on any media. Let's say right now CDs are popular. Tomorrow it's going to be, say, Memory Sticks.
Now if the vendors could figure out how to make money and when you buy the music you can listen to it however you like and not a simple one time download but its your to move to various media, always own, sell, etc.
I went though many tapes because the tapes failed over time. It seems I should own the rights to listen to the music upon purchase.

Charging 20 bucks for TV listings per month. The Box is alright for say 100-200. But the service is too expensive
You can build your on PVR with spare PC parts and a TV video card (any ATI card with TV in). Go to http://freevo.sourceforge.net and get the paid TV listing technology for free.
AOL/Time Warner Dumped AOL. This isn't a big deal, lots of companies do something similarly - IBM comes to mind.
Now I can't imagine any/.er concerned about this because AOL was considered the worst Internet provider just a few years ago and there isn't much love for MS here.
The question is what technologies does MS want? Netscape, AIM - what else?
Everyone knows that miscounted votes are more political than technical or even malicious. If the public demanded a machine to vote with that was 100% accurate than there isn't a machine that can do it in terms of politics. Technically we can produce checksums that stream over the internet billions of bits and very few get corrupted or cause bad downloads.
Checksums could be incorporated in some kind of punch card/electronic tally machine but you can never stop a registered voter from smoking banana peels and hitting the wrong keys.
Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/) or Norton Internet Security (http://www.symantec.com/) prompts you if any program wants to access the internet (add more as you see fit but these I have used).
Trojan attacks like this hammer the requirement of these products along with a good firewall. And yes Unix and Mac owners are left out.
Another Question would be: How would you configure your firewall to prevent leaks like this?
On that site I found Mozila's version of Yahoo Companion for http://companion.mozdev.org/
Good I will be able to dump IE soon as the Mozila's Yahoo Companion bar becomes a little more stable (can we all sing ding dong the witch is dead now?)...
IE isn't that crappy - it has Google search bar and Yahoo Companion integration.
I would enjoy moving off of IE and go to Mozilla with its tabbed browsing and cookie filter (add features as you see fit) but I like the Goggle bar and Yahoo Companion way too much to leave IE. When the Yahoo Companion tool bar is exported to another browser than I won't care what browser I use.
Slashdot Mirror
I first read about eyeglasses displays on a web page at MIT http://www.media.mit.edu/wearables/
l
A commercial company you can buy a wearable display http://www.microoptical.net/Products/HomePage.htm
I didn't think about the sickness - but on a arcade game or a PDA it would be great.

Yeah - reminds me of the late past away EMachines (now Gateway) that soldered the CPU to the board.
When the boards get smaller along with PCI cards that are half-height then I'll show more interest.

It seems the rules should be applied universally.

The question is what technologies does MS want? Netscape, AIM - what else?
Do you really want the government involved in Open Source? It seems there are plenty of standards (GPL etc). I prefer separation of Source and State.

So IE isn't totally bad.
