The summery talked about 'some' people that it is happening to. I can imagine google trying it out on a few servers to see what happens and what the results are. This before they launch it worldwide.
Things they might be interested in, but not limited to: Are people turning off adblock Are people still watching the content Are people coming back Are people looking elsewhere Are people deblocking YouTube, while they keep blocking e.g. DoubleClick.com
Remember that they have all this data to figure out how they can get more money.
Is this the same adoption as the states that can decide on the drinking age, but if it is below 21, they loose a lot of money on roads?
This does not mean that I am for or against states or the governement deciding what the law is. It is just that is seems like childish behaviour and pointing fingers I would expect from a 5 year old.
If we forgive him that he did not see and thus did not know that it existed, all others should be forgiven that we did not know he (or others) patented anything.
And if the 40 years is a too long time, then perhaps we should be forgiven for things we copy illegally after say 14 years.
If he just did not read it; then perhaps he should understand that his terms of joining FB are not read and thus null and void.
Yes, imagine that a kid is raping a terrorist and the person who manually turned on the device fell over drunk and was unable to turn it off in this hypothetical situation.
YOU are the reason we are getting rid of our privacy. YOU are the one turning countries into police state.
Good for you. The average user keeps its phone for 15 months. That is the last numbers I heard for Belgium. YMMV.
I am also not their target audince as I buy the cheapest one that has the ability to do Voip calls and in Belgium phones are unlocked by law and I use a pre-paid card.
Obviously you need to change the MAC address. The hard part will be not being caught by cameras. Then do it all scripted. e.g. wake up on time X, run the script that changes the mac, connects, sends the messages, recieves the message, shutdown.
For future contact I would use Usenet. Encrypt the message, so it is not readable by everybody. As only the receiver should have the key, he or she will be the only one reading it. There is no direct link between you and the person receiving it. He could be sitting next to you or on the other side of the world. Post it inside images that others will download for their content in the correct group and they can not follow up on who is downloading it at all. Am I downloading nudes and the hidden message as a result or am I interested in the message and have to download a nude persons image.
Why scripted? That way when you time it correctly, you can have it in your backpack or pocket or anywhere, while you walk around. If it is cheap enough, you could dump it in the trash, where it will activate at time X, do its thing, turn off and be send to the dump.
Not sure what the cheapest wireless device would be that could run a decent script to do this and has an auto-on function in its bios.
Because they want to prevent it happening in the future. Now they use one IP. That gets banned. People might not even know they buy something illegal. So bad for the custoler as well.
What would happen is that first they just use a different IP adress. MS notices and does a block per IP after e.g. 10 activations.
So now they start using virusses, so activation is done over several million IP adresses at random.
Where if they are going to court, the person responsible will not do it and others might realize they will get caught and not start.
So I assume their agenda is not to have thngs stolen from them, because this is theft, not copyright infringement.
I am sure that places like the stcok exchange will take this info as a reason to put a delay between the placing of an order and the actual transaction, so people can not profit from it, right?
This all to protect both the people and the market, as that is their goal, right?
Although gambling can be a reason, more likely it is just being very bad with money. The kind of bad where people buy a new iPhone and a new TV and new handbags and the newest sneakers and then say they do not have enough money for food.
Many people never learn how to count money. People do not even understand what a credit is. These are people who think that a credit of 2000 is their money they must use.
In school (in Belgium) I learned how to trasfer money. I learned how a bank account is made up and how the control number worked. I never learned what a credit or a loan was. I never learned how to do a busget.
I am lucky that I learned that at home. Not all parents know it themselves and thus are unable to explain it to their kids. Basic budgetting skils should be learned in schools. This would still mean some people would not understand it, but way less than what is happening now.
You will be amazed at how many people do not even know the difference between a loan and a credit, yet they are maxing out their credit cards like nobodies business. One trip and you are fucked.
Issue is, where would you go to when you have financial problem? Most go to a bank. And then get fucked over AGAIN, because the bank does not work for them, they work for the bank.
This happens with every piece of software. We ahave a boot system that does everything, running a kernel that does everything that has a desktop manager that does everything running a browser that does everything connecting to a website that does everything.
Where is the time that they only did a part of it and they did that well.
Playing the devils advocate for a moment. So the fans want the content. The IP holder does not want the content to go out. Why should they not do with what is theirs?
Why should the fans have the right to do it anyay? As it is the IP of the company, is it not up to them to decide what happens with it? If they want, they can make it public, but the do not want to do that. If they want, they can develop the game itself, but they do not want to do that. If they want, they could sell the IP, but they do not want to do that. If they want, they should be allowed to lock it up and throw away the key.
It is theirs and should they not be allowed to do with it as they please?
All that just shows how insane the current duration is. Go back to a copyright of 14 years (or less) and this would not even come up.
Also: there is a difference between hardware failure (a copy is ok) and data failure. If you copy corrupt data, you have lost the data.
Hence incremential backups.
And another one: Test your restore procedure. Restoring data is more important than backing up. If you can't restore there is no need to back up.
When people start talking backup, many look as if I am an idiot when I start talking restore first. Often people have NO idea how to restore data.
How to you get your data back when your PC was fried, you buy a new one and have no idea how to link your NetworkDrive to your PC as your old PC was still Windows95 and you bought a Mac.
I do not have a need to log in to YouTube as their comenting is terrible. I do not read the comments. In fact I have a bookmark that will point to my website when I am on YouTube (code http://houghi.org/yt.php?code) so I can see only the thing I want to see.
I also have dropped Gmail for gmx.com. For image search I use Bing, as they do not think they must protect me from female nipples.
I obviously block their ad domains and I do not use their DNS servers.
That does not mean they are not getting any data from me, but I try to keep it as little as possible, because I have seen what happens when companies get to big to fail.
I once was asked was asked what my sign was. I told then that if they knew anything about it, they should be able to deduct my sign. It took them 13 times. They named one twice when they started just saying them in order.
If people ask my sign I always say Elephant and when they realize that isn't a sign, I say 'But I have a trunk!'
On another occasion a friend of mine told a girl that he knew nothing about palm reading., That he knows it is bull. That anybody could do it by guessing a bit. He repeated that several times, took the hand, made some general assumptions and she believed he could do it, even when he said IT WAS MADE UP.
When people want to read me a horoscope, I pick a sign at random. They are always very generic, so they are correct.
Reminds me af how to do traffic in a foreign country. If you see a sign and do not know what it means, slow down. If it is in a poor country and there is a sign, stop as they won't put up a sign without a reason.
Many years ago I was driving in Argentina and I saw a sign saying 'fado with a triangle and it was the first sign I saw in many, many kilometers. Probably driving 2 or 3 hours without seeing anybody.
So stopped and drove on very, very slowly. Good on me, because I later heard fado means a small stream. We had to drive through some water. That was only 10-15cm deep (3-4 inches) That was not the porblem, the problem was that the bridge was gone.
So if you do not know what signs mean, assume they are warnings preventing you to kill yourself.
Remeber when some Saoudis living in Afganistan flew in a building and the next day we said we must invade Iraq and later found an excuse to invade them having WMDs they did not have? That went so well Europe gets a lot of visitors.
Is he unaware that a threat is only scary if the other person gives a fuck. The leader of NK does not give a fuck.
http://isidewith.com Now, that was easy. Yet people still vote with emaotion, not reason. Most I hear is 'I will not vote for X, because he is the wrong party' and that in a country where there are pultiple parties and not just 2.

And for those that think this can only happen because of bitcoin. This happened in the past as well. People where asked to transfer money to Nigeria,

Target auidience is completely different. The PC and phone market is for the pre-installed systems. These systems are not.

They dream about it as I dreamt about Rachel Welch as a teenager.
Remember when people said IBM would only use it as self defense and would never use it to attack? Those were fun times.
