And about that small community where everybody knows me. It also means I know them. On Facebook almost everybody puts up their own name and details. Sure I could say "But they did that themselves" and lauch at them for not having the knowledge that it is a bad thing to do.
Even about 10 years ago it was pretty easy to find information about people. e.g. Person makes contact via Yahoo Pager using his own name. We figure out the IP, so we know he is from a University. Search on the website and we have a phone number. We call him. All this within 5 minutes. I am sure he did not choose to put his name and phone number on the website.
A lot of information is out there that you did not put out there or were not even sure that existed and people here on/. are not the average user. You neighbors grand parents and uncles are. And those are the people that get shafted by all this.
The reason everybody can follow you and find out everything you're doing everywhere else in the world is because you announced to everybody where you were going and what you were doing anyway.
Yes, but not on purpose, willingly or even that most people know of. Cookies, IP tracing, login linking and what not.
That is also the reason why I and many others do not use their real name. However many people do not have the knowledge to make that decision. On the Internet nobody is paranoia, because your ARE being followed.
Ubuntu is clearly an operating system on the rise,
I am not as fanatical as some people who say it must be GNU/Linux instead of just Linux, but it certainly should NOT be Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a distribution, not an OS.
Sure it is one of the most used ones, but if the amount of users does not say anything about quality. Otherwise we should all just move over to Windows.
I would agree with forbidding selling violent games to minors. They should not stop at video games, but all things, like chess. A lot of murdering an killing going on right there. Roadrunner? Way to violent to show. And do not even start me about the most violent book I have heard of: the bible.
The best thing you can do is protect children in a bubble and then let them loose when they turn 18. I know a girl who grew up like that. She became the greatest slut in school. See, everybody wins.
I'm from that generation, more or less, and still think it's pretty rude to download stuff that you didn't pay for.
Not sure what generation that is. I am from one before Internet. I learned in school that copyright violations are only bad if you intend to make money from it.
Otherwise they would not told us to copy the books. The first thing I always did was making a copy of the page that the copyright was on. When shown to others, they did not understand the irony. Sure some will say "But it is for educational purposes, so then it is allowed." Well, I learn with everything I read, see and/or do.
So the ones who bring their lives in danger should be saying legally, as they have dealt with way much more then those filling out a few papers or just being born in the country.
How do you know if a URL will produce a 301 error? Because that is what they do. So all you should be able to do is get a message of where a redirect is send to and ask permission to do so. Or in case of TinyURL enable the preview.
I never click on a shortened link. You never know when it migh be a redirect to goatse.cx or worse.
That is why TinyURL has a previeuw you can enable: http://tinyurl.com/preview.php (Not a shortend link)
Advantage is that the originator has no influence on it. Disadvantage is that it is needed for each and every different redirector.
A way around is is to edit how the 301 error is handled. Instead of directly going to the new page, first show where it is going. This should be done by the browser. Even better would be to have a seperate and new 'error' message for this. e.g. 308 "Redirected on purpose" Similar to 301, but specific for forwarders for the purpose of URL shortening. You could even easily implement that on your own site.
I looked for a plugin for Firefox that could change the behaviour of error 301 to show where it was forwarding to, but was unable to find anything.
There used to be a time that you could easily host your own OpenID with e.g. http://siege.org/phpmyid.php You point to http://yoursite.example.com/ instead of the one from Google or any other OID provider. That way you limit the chance of giving somebody else access as you manage your own login and password.
Some facts: 1) The misquote is "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers," 2) The story had already been described as a myth in 1973 3) Correct quote: "IBM had developed a paper plan for such a machine and took this paper plan across the country to some 20 concerns that we thought could use such a machine. [...] But, as a result of our trip, on which we expected to get orders for five machines, we came home with orders for 18."
In Belgium there are also (self adhesive) stamps if you want to buy them and put them on an envelope. Only sold per 10. If you go to the post office, then there will be a standard stamp on it. Sometimes the stamp IS what people are after. e.g. on 8-8-88 as many people as possible wanted to mail from Germany in PLZ 8888 (This was before the PLZ changed to 5 digits)
Cutting costs can be there for several reasons. Basically to either lower prices or raise profit. I am sure he wants to do it for the second reason. Say 50.000USD per co-pilot per year is a nice extra.
It is more about getting free ad time in the media then actually going through with the idea. All people see is "We are willing to keep low prices." And "Cheap flying is us". For them all this is free advertisement. And if one of the ideas is allowed, they also money. Win-win for them.
Co-pilots are there to handle things in case the pilot gets sick or something.
So how often does that happen? One could argue for the same reason that a second co-pilot would be good, in case something happens with both of them.
The chance of a need for that will be extremely limited. So how high are the chances for the actual need of a co-pilot? Are numbers available? Real numbers, not incidental evidence. And are there situations where having two pilots caused issues? Just to be sure to have no false positives and false negatives.
And the next is the question if we are willing to take the chances. Each day I get into the car, I take the chance that somebody kills me or I kill somebody and yet I do it.
I understand emotionally the reason for a second pilot as much as I understand the reason for redundancy in computers. It would be great if it would be confirmed with actual numbers. I also understand that it is not so much about lowering the prices, but either raising the profits and/or being in the news again.
As long as I am the owner, I should be able to do with it as I want and have all the legal rights to defend myself. However what should be important is the moment of purchase. So if I buy a copyright, I buy the rights from that moment on AND wave any previous rights.
The result will be that selling copyrights will be extremely hard to do, as the original copyright owner could be aware of any copyright infringement, but just decided not to do anything about it.

Also it would mean that customers would have a right to download 25% of everything.
You are right, unless you are Google.

I agree. That is why he probably fled Finland. There is a great depression there and an huge economic collapse.

So I buy the house far below market value from a conman. The seller gets the real value from governement. We split the profits.

That is what they made you think when you where 5.
Instead of two parties, they would have to bribe 200 or so.
Money? Sponsoring?

Thanks for the proof that playing games IS dangerous and should be regulated.

This would be awkward if you are a teacher: Honestly officer, I was just charging my phone, not doing what you think I did.
Mod parent up. I would also go for the most simple way for storing and that would be plain text.
