Yeah Hiii. It's Bill Lumbergh again. Ahh.. I just wanted to make sure you knew that we did start at the umm.. usual time.. this morning. Yeah.. It isn't a half day or anything like that. So if you could just go ahead and get here as soon as possible, that would be terrific.
Filter content how? Just to their own end nodes or everything that passes through? There is no way to know how a government initiative to do this will be implemented. One would have to assume that if they thought certain content was inappropriate for their own citizens, they wouldn't want anyone else to access it either.
When I am in Thailand, and connecting to someone in Indonesia, if my traffic routes through Malaysia, will they filter it?
It's one of the most disappointing phenomena of the Internet. With all the Internet's potential, all people care about it turns out is looking at pictures of themselves and sending OMG messages.
Seriously. What service are they providing? If they can make money because they have some marketing skills, great for them. Consumers have no obligation to support their industry because it was once relevant. That's why it's called a 'market'. These days, many artists can create, promote & distribute their own material and keep all the dough. The definition of property has changed no matter what courts say. It doesn't really matter though because the labels days are numbered. It's only a matter of time before ALL artists realize they don't need them and the 'industry' won't exist or else be very different.
Before Caruso and phonographs/cylinders, musicians made money as PERFORMING artists, rather than RECORDING artists. The idea has taken over modern thinking that if you can get an idea (think patent) before anyone else, you should be able to claim it as your own and make money forever on it without ever having to do anything again. Like snatching up domains. Uggh.
You beat me to a (in my head) clever post. Jefferson created a mechanical device that as he wrote would move a secondary quill in a mirrored fashion. Sounds simple or obvious to many here today, but remember where technology was[n't] then. An absolutely brilliant mind.
I was riding my Xooter around on the hardwood floors of our TriBeCa luxury office loft in my tailored suit, while on a conference call via the wireless headset. As I veered around the servers, Aeron chairs, and putting green, I stopped by the espresso bar in our giant kitchen only to realize there was no more organic fair-trade raw sugar! I xooted over to the PM & demanded an explanation. He gave me some lame excuse about there not being any at the store.. I told him if the situation wasn't rectified I was going to raise my consulting rate another $10! Needles to say, the next day we had the sugar, but I had to suffer such horrible indignity and it changed me forever.
for everything. E-mail is insecure. Service-based VoIP is insecure. Video conferencing via google or skype is going to be insecure since it disappears somewhere in a google/skype cloud.
Can't you do full video/voice conference, p2p with VideoLAN?
He doesn't think the Federal govt can say anything on the matter & he KNOWS that the feds have NO say in State matters. You can't be president of the country & the states. They're different.
Like I said; Don't know why EFF didn't endorse Ron Paul. This topic is something completely relevant to the EFF. Gay marrige??
What The States do is not the president's business anyway, but this is a digression.
Actually, the Global Warming CULT is becoming the Global Warming MOB. Scientists who don't support IPCC (UN) claims are finding out what happens to them. Now with our newly elected Dear Leader, other countries are going to find out what happens to them if they don't comply with the UN Mafia.
would probably satisfy most of the students' needs. Create a official school released bootable cd with the environment needed for the courses. Students that want to maintain their own environment can, and those that aren't sure how to do it, can just boot the cd. With the exception of 3D modeling, most students' workstation computing needs shouldn't be that demanding.
had only 4 MEGAbytes of RAM. In those days I didn't even know what a gigabyte was, let alone a terabyte.
While my computer today with 4GB, clearly does a lot more than my old DOS machine, the question is, am I actually doing that much more than before? Not really.
Go here and look for the PDF for "Terra Papers". It contains a lot more than Sitchen could even begin to guess. You may laugh at the ridiculousness of it, so if it's too much for to consider than treat it as sci-fi. It's a fascinating read either way.
Why does it have to be Evolution or God's plan? How can you be sold so quickly on anything? You don't KNOW anything, and digging up a bunch of bones doesn't prove shit. Their are countless possibilities and I find it predictably disappointing that so many people need to feel like they KNOW what happened in the past. Weak minds need security. Science (in this case Darwin's) is the new religion. Me, I'm open to other possibilities. We have creators but their not God & their not benevolent.
Many people here are from corporate America (all they know) and are telling you that you will face huge competition, HR screenings, &c. That is all true if you go the corporate route.
This economy sucks and is going to get worse. Entrepreneurs who can provide real value will fair much better than people at large corporations hoping their seniority will mean something as management continues their endless waves of head chopping.
If you can code as you said, why not build an open source application? Not an mp3 server, but something useful to business (possibly your current industry?). Make it useful, work well, then offer consulting services in it. I know it sounds risky but as budgets keep shrinking, staff positions are going to become (even more) incredibly competitive and offer little security. Business will always be willing to pay for value. So provide something of value.
This is like the third posting (on/.)of this type in 2 days. This type being some completely random fuckup, somewhere, then mentioning p2p in the end. I mean this guy worked for the security company and had sensitive blueprints on his computer, and then installs a file sharing program?? Please! Fire the whole contractor for gross incompetence. Is this really what they are going to come up with to try shut down p2p? "Terrorists are accessing sensitive data over file sharing networks" (because someone is running grokster at the Pentagon.. Wow.
Or how about doctor asks patient, "how are you feeling? Have you experienced anything like this before?" Patient says, "Yes. Here I have a [paper] record of my previous doctor visits. Does that help?". Doctor says, "it could". Patient says, "Okay, but those are my property [responsibility] and I want them back when I leave". Doctor says, "Sure. Your the boss.".... Whoahh.. What was I thinking?!
I will take Internet 1.0 with all of these assholes any day over a safe/secure sterilized Internet. Long live the Anonymous Coward! But please, watch your fucking language here, okay? There are mindless sheeple that may take offense to your goatse shit. Cunts.

There is no 'proof'. So how can it be taught as fact?
