  1. Mr. Riaa does not care about isp's? on RIAA to DoS Pirates? · · Score: 1
    What about cybercafe's where programs get downloaded and started like Napster, Kazaa and others? They all need to go down because these people are flooding the entire connection with a DOS attack?

    Since when are DOS attacks legal?

    An article about the claim against the RIAA and others is available here.



    Maybe it's going to be time to have blacklists with ip's to block Mr. Riaa's attempts to put networks down that way.

    Welcome to the year 2001, ongoing to 2002... Where we (even Belgians) have:

    (almost) no privacy anymore:
    • E-mails (can) get read by others. (cfr Echelon and others)
    • Browsing/search behavior gets tracked by others. (cfr Cookies, Javascript, JavaApplets, banner ads, referrers, ...)
    • Conversations (can) get listened to.
    • Police can do (almost) whatever they can (here in Belgium), searching for drugs they will turn-around your entire car.
    • Even worse; Not only commercial companies and the legal system but the Internet is getting exploited more and more by script-kiddies and hackers.
      If I check our companies IDS then I see A-lot of requests for codered; standard attacks to our webservers, portscans, ...

    I wonder where the world is going to, not only privacy is my main concern but also what is happening elsewhere is.
    We see more and more negative stuff about:
    • The local newspapers in holland talking about bioweapons and the dangers of it;
    • wars;
    • people get shot down, even in our local neighbourhoods where nothing like that has happened before!;
    • adults throwing with bottles and stones to kids because of religious reasons (Belfast);
    • the ongoing crime rates;
    • Word before: (I AM NOT somebody who is "white power" nor "extreme-right", I am somebody neutral accepting *EVERYBODY* in the society
    • The last 2 years all the illegal people entering the countries and seeing crime evolve:
      • I had 7 breakins in my car.
      • 6 breakins in our company.
      • I had some bad-luck when going to university in Belgium and had some money problems. I asked for support and did not get it at all; I needed to wait, return a few times (while I did have classes!) and could sit in the cold (literally!)

        It was very stressfull that I saw a immigrant entering the same office, asking for support, getting support for free, money and even a personal advisor/help: INSTANTLY.

        To make the story even entire complete, that same person went outside, to the parking, opened his mercedes and starting using his cellular phone.


      I really wonder what is going on these times?

  22. Art is in the person ... not in the equipment! on Are Computer Graphics A Fine Art? · · Score: 1

    Art is in the person, the character, your creative mind, your feelings at that current time - creates - art ...

    Not the paintbrush, the pencil, the type of camera or the type of paper you use nor the medium where you draw it on. The same with sounds ... music ...

    If it is wood, metal, glass or on a screen and printed out or on a piano or synthesizer - if there is anything creative in it with YOUR emotions and want to express that on whatever medium - it's art.

    If it looks good and can be understood by other people, then it's (nice) art that can be generally accepted.

    For example, I have drawn a lot of images on cards (beercards) and scanned them in. Some of them I have enhanced with the PC - is this computer design or art?

    To my opinion art, because I have put the feeling and emotions i had on that moment on that paper! The same when I enhanced it, that's finishing it...

    The same with computer demos, whenever you create something out of your feelings, you can tell the PC what to do, though, it is your creative mind that tells what you want to see on the screen. If you want to create a vortex where you fly through with a spaceship - then it's computer ART .. though still ART ...

    It is historically very known that "new art" is not accepted very well - look to picasso for example ... He did something completely different than "all others" ... was he accepted in the beginning? ...

    People are used to certain things and some of them do not want to loose their precious "good old" thing. Same with b/w photography, same with music ...

    Some people do create "very easy" stuff by just moving their mouse on the screen and pressing whatever button they want to press ... ("the any key" :o)) that might be a form of art, though if nobody is going to accept it except you .. then it could be your art project is not finished yet :o)

    My 2 cents anyway ...
