The way this will be seen and abused by others will be a bit like the following: Stallman is somebody who is for Open Source. Stallman also said that downloads are mainly illegal. Ergo: Open Source is illegal.
And this means that not only must the governement outlaw Open Source. Also there must be greater punishment to the people who do this and give the money to those who are affected.
So in the end everybody will be happy. Well, at least the music companies. As a middle way, why not tax the extra broadband directly and give that money to the music and movie industry who still are recovering from VHS and cassettes.
Today is the day Slashdot is unreadable. The reason most news media only post one false item is because it is hard work to make a good fake AND funny story. These are the level of a drunk bar discussion where one person asks the other 'Wouldn't it be funny if...'. The next day when you are sober the answer is clearly no.
If something is untrue it is not funny, it is called a lie. That is what idle is for.
Why not make up a good story, spread it over several blogs and if possible even put a fake interview a person related to the story online and see if the media pick up on it. But that would require work, so it won't happen. Oh well, I can at least do some work today instead of read/.
I never got the name ID4. What happened to the other 3? If the 4 is a reference to the 4th of July, I can only ask: why? Are there so many Independence days in July that you need to make it clear which one you mean?
And not only him. Most SF ends up ad stuff blowing up: I, Robot; Starship Troopers; Total Recall; Minority Report just to name a few books where stuff blows up and where the books are more about social stuff then anything else. That is also the reason a lot of people say they do not like SF, because it is only stuff blowing up and no story.
I understand that they would like to make movies where people only bow stuff up, but there is no reason to use a storyline and especially not ones that are good.
In the 70's many pr0n movies pretended to have a storyline. Now they are mainly a series of pr0n scenes without a story whatsoever. That should perhaps be the direction where these explosion-movies should go to. Just a series of special effects. And let people who enjoy the stories go to movies that care about the stories as well.
Those 40-50 year olds recorded music from their LP and shared them with their friends. Since then the music industry clearly died. And then came the VHS where people copied movies for each other and now the movie industry died, because of it. So no, most likely they would not have bought it.
And be realistic. How much money would you need to spend to fill a 160GB iPod? Say 3MB per song, that is 15.000 songs or say some 1.500 albums at 10USD/EUR per piece is 15.000USD/EUR. I have rounded it down a bit, because it will be more.
There will be people who have enough money and are willing to pay such an amount for their music, but it will be the mimority. And that is why people won't buy it. Because they are not willing to give that amount towards it.
And that is what should be first discussed. What are we going to use as a base. My feeling is that bit would be much more logical to select. It already is a unit of one, so why select something that has a unit of 8? OTOH the meter is not an exact unit itself. Its first measurement was 1/40.000th of the circle of the earth.
So either is good, as long as it will be used as the ONLY measurement. I do not want to be confused and re-calculate the difference between Mb/s and KB/s. Use one base and all should be much easier for everybody.
The issue is not so much the correct usage of the first ISO part for me. The problem arises with what to use as the second part of the ISO part. Is it bit or byte you are going to use as default? First determine that is and go from there.
There should be one unit for usage, independent if the usage is with RAM of HD. Otherwise you will get confused if there is a difference in usage for memory and for swap. And what if you place/tmp or any other directory (or file) not on HD, but on memory?
I think they did not go after BSD as Microsoft uses (has used) BSD. They do not care about the rest. And rightfully so. You should go after somebody if you think you are in the right not based on the quality of the lawyers. Because that would mean your legal system is completely fucked up.
If that would be the case, say a big music consortium could go after individuals and just take whatever they want. That would never..., oh, wait, never mind.
All those things have not stopped SCO in the past. They will sue their own mother for being born as long is there is a shimmer of hope they can make a cent out of it. Their reasoning is completely irrational, so do not be surprised if they go after BSD or Apple. There does not need to be a reason.
Not to sound pedantic, but his family did not win the prize. It is a prize and not a charity. Jean-Paul Sartre rejected the 1964 Nobel Prize for Literature. People have asked Obama to reject the Nobel Peace Prize. Sinclair Lewis rejected the Pullitzer prize. Many people have rejected prizes for a variation of reasons. He does not accept it. Get over it and move on with your life.
Can you image that you are Jean-Paul Sartre's family and because he refused the Nobel Prize. "Hey, he doesn't want the Nobel Prize, Do you want it?". And how sily would that look later in history: Nobel Prize winners: Jean-Paul Sartre's Mom. It would look like a sketch from Mothy Python
Nobel Person : Hello. Perlmans Mom : 'Allo. Whoo is eet? NP: I am President of the Prize comity and these are other comity member. Whose apartment is this? PM: This is the apartment of my son, Grigory Perelman. NP: Please go and tell your son that we have been charged by The Comity with a sacred quest, and if he will accept our prize, he will receive a lot of money as well as a prize. PM: Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. He's already got one, you see? NP: What? Second NP: He says they've already got one! They are stunned. NP: Are you sure he's got one? PM: Oh yes. It's very nice
Perhps there is logic in him refusing the money. But a huge majority of humanity will take the money. As he won't, that is not normal behaviour. Un-normal behaviour is called strange. Look at number 4 at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/strange
I made something like this in the past just as a proof of concept with openSUSE 11.1 and the use of SUSE Studio.Was not to hard to make and with a bit of effort could be done much better.
So trust might be one reason not to use it. Another reason is that unless you run VMware, it is pretty inconvenient to reboot your PC to do banking. People who will use this, will most likely already be aware of what security is and thus not really need it.
People do indeed not need China. However people like stuff more then their principles. So they will buy more and buy cheaper so they can buy more. And that is where (now) China comes in.
The moment you can buy more stuff at a cheaper price from another country, that is where you will get it. It could even be that that country is the USofA.
Google will have availability of those 100% of the day and 100% of processor. The bot while impressive in numbers won't. People turn of their computers. Many for most of the day. And many of the cycles will still be used not for the Botnet, but for playing games and other things people do on their PC.

Please no. Who wants a female robot that can fake a headache?
They move to the Bahama's. Now what?

That is why I go into stores and steal the actual DVD's. Much less punishment if I get caught and it is actual theft.
He probably is Darl.
Sci-fi? I thought it was based on a true story.

The last should have been 10 inches and was rounded up. So it is actually 10x10x10.

Boots into GUI with Opera as GUI. It was just a proof of concept, because will you trust the following?
Disk Image for e.g. USB stick
WMware Image
Life CD Image
So trust might be one reason not to use it. Another reason is that unless you run VMware, it is pretty inconvenient to reboot your PC to do banking. People who will use this, will most likely already be aware of what security is and thus not really need it.

You have to move to Europe and buy Windows there. Instead of the 4 browsers you get the standard option of 12.
It's secure alright. At least that is what we let you believe.
