I don't care them sharing theirs with me, I'm buying my records, cd's and video's as legal as I can; using Handbrake and other utilities to rip to my mediaplayer. My MP3 collection is usable through my PC (winamp pro) and my Apple (itunes).
I'm having the same question in mind, why should I even bother sharing all that hard work and money with anyone else? Let them pay the disks themselves, they were for sure expensive enough for me to collect all that!
Don't like to pay for a certain company because they are too expensive ? Make it cheap, wait a bit for a new movie to cool down, buy when they are cheap or find yourself an alternative indie company with cheap movies..
Still, "because they do so" is just an excuse like any else...
There are easy ways and simple ways; I prefer to take the simple but slightly difficult way!

I own 2 old Sony TV's, still working in mint condition. I own 2 DVD players, one with RCA outs. I rent my DVD's from the videotheque and buy DVD's when they are reasonably priced. Reasonably priced is inbetween 7-15 euro; everything higher (like 30, 45 and higher) is UNREASONABLE! I saw the difference between HD and SD, I'm not shocked with it; don't even want to spend money into that.
I've put more money in my vinyl and cd's, finding out later I've been royally f*cked by lots of companies including copy-protections on their cd's rendering normal-use as good as impossible. I've always been honest and paid for all media which I've got in my house; although; the last few years have been a real burden for me needing to
1) buy the media 2) being impossible to use them in my Denon pro-cd players 3) needing to search and download THE SAME VERSION AS ON CD; just to get it working!
So.. who's actually screwing who... I might wonder!
From my perspective some of these bastards don't deserve my money; to grasp even more control in the market!...
I've been seeing fields like "op, sid, cid and pid"... wondering really what they are belonging to; although I could fill them in and press "moderate" if I wanted to.
I was unable to copy the bug after. The fields seem to be also hidden in the code...
Is this a new way of moderation where we can choose our own sid, cid, op and pid ?;)

A photo can be [fade out] and still have meaning, [smoothed] for the eyes, news-paper model with [half-toned], grow a tan with [colourise] or be Gomez with [reduce colors], be [pixelated], look through [blind]s, hell, your background could grow [fur] or catch [fire] even! Not all backgrounds have to be that fluo-hey-i'm-here-attitude but could be rather [Chrome] relaxed. And still you come with the half-baken excuse you can't see your damn icons?
These tools exist to make your photogenic/graphic life a lot easier, to make that Tubgirl picture make look no different with an [Inner Bevel] or to hide Goatse behind a nice layer of [Polished Stone] which makes the Grand Canyon go jealous!

OK!
I've got to give it to you, I like my GUI black too, no sugar, no milk; although if you can choose a background to easen your pain of point-and-chuck; you might be able to use a little photoshop for it, mkay?
- XP PRO OEM Multi-Language license cost: 92.82 euro (EX BTW) 112.3 (IN BTW)
- XP PRO OEM Uni-Language license cost: 90.62 euro (EX BTW) 109.65 (IN BTW)
Make the difference yourself; if they only pay back 78 Euro; why am I paying roughly 30 Euro more for the same OEM license?
Post your license number here and we'll see if we can sell it for you!
PS: OEMs cannot be resold according the EULA; although there are companies dealing specifically in OEM stickers, cd's and manuals; so there might be some middle line to walk there; how thin this line is, I don't know. IANAL.
Q. There are several types of OTP tokens out there. Which is the YubiKey? A. Many OTP solutions today depend on time-synchronized tokens and verification service. Since each OTP is valid for only a limited time, this solution adds higher protection against phishing. Unfortunately the synchronization process is difficult to administer and out-of-synch tokens add frustration for users.
Other OTP solutions depend on a incremental internal sequence counter as the basis for the OTP generation. In this case an OTP does not expire, and thus the risks are higher, but at the same time it is generally an easier system to administer than time-based tokens.
YubiKeys combine the best of these two approaches. There is no need for the YubiKey tokens to be synchronized to a common server time. Each token has an internal sequence counter that is partly driven by its internal clock. YubiKey's unique design ensures that this counter is part of the generated OTP, so the system in effect lets the service check synchronization at the OTP validation time.
Another feature to prevent OTP harvesting and Phishing is to use the timestamp field to calculate the delta between two generated OTPs. In a scenario where a bigger stake is at risk, the server would typically ask for one OTP when the user logs on and a second when "checking out". The server knows the exact time delta between the OTPs but the Phisher doesn't.
You are not obliged to use their authentication server. As a matter of fact, I'm writing my own (distributed) authentication platform for that one reason.
You don't have to use their server to be authenticated; as long as you keep the counters and timers synchronized with your own database. Since the Yubikey is open-source, you could decrypt the key in no-time without even needing a remote connection to anywhere.
Whenever using a keyfob, yubikey or rsa one time pad; you will always have to store your variables for the next generation; Yubico's server is more of a demo working with pre-programmed keys; although; these keys do have one major drawback: I hope there will never be a virus disabling all these Yubikeys all together just because they have NO PIN CODE pre-programmed and these devices are reprogrammable by the use of ActiveX.
Not all OTP's are prone to MITM attacks; the Yubikey for example has a (8hz) timer built in, initialized to a random value on connection. Next time a OTP gets generated the timestamp moves up too with a maximal difference of 10%. This timer prevents MITM attacks; without the use of a battery. Read more on their website.
I'm currently writing an authentication platform working with Yubico's demo and reprogrammed Yubikeys. I'm not affiliated with Yubico, just a user of their product ; although I can tell this key has it done right!
They also seem to have a nice mindset allowing a large suite of usages with their product by focussing on the hardware only, leaving the software with 3rd party developers. Oh, and did I mention it was open source?
I've bought Office 2007 without any clear information how to downgrade to Office 2003; although 3/4th of the people I work with does NOT like the new Office 2007 because:
- Standard Office 2003 plugins (Like the Creative Common & BE-ID signing plugin) do not work in Office 2007
- The menu's are simplified to a system which is a nightmare for people not wanting to click-to-survive
- It crashes multiple times, shortcuts get automagically disabled,...
- It seems to be automagically disabling/adding stuff in my Office 97 files without asking for this!
I've got the idea the newest Office had to be out of the door before the final tests were done; but might be wrong about the "quality process" at Microsoft regarding software, usability and security.
I wonder very hard how many people would downgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2003 only already for these few small annoyances. I wish it was possible with a few mouseclicks away; I'd trade my kingdom for a v2003 license!
