Half of me agrees. If your stupid enough to take drugs then you deserve what you get.
The other half of me looks at how the law has made the world a better place with tobacco. Go back 50 years and it was incredibly popular due to advertising and pressure. A lot of people are now regretting it.
Your essentially saying that you want drugs to be legal. Would you also like ads on tv and in newspapers and movies for drugs?
You download a watermarked song, your friend downloads the song under his account.
Both are watermarked with different water marks. Simple bit analysis will make the differences stand out like a sore thumb. What you'd get is a merge of the two watermarks.
If you get a whole pile of watermarked copies of the same song then you can fairly easily determine how the watermarking works. It may be encrypted but it doesnt matter too much. You know how to destroy the watermark and it gives you a head start at reverse engineering it.
I wouldnt be surprised if people here understood it. Slashdot isnt a good representation of programmers however.:P Its not complicated. Its just not how you'd expect it to be done.
I did the inital work for freelance so no review.:)
Hundreds of happy users though. These people just want it to work with minimal fuss. They dont want to know how it works and the code is very specific so requirements cant really change.
Yes I could probably explain it to other programmers but the thinking it uses to get its speed is not what you'd expect.
Heh. No I'm not a high school kid and that stuff is really ancient. Its redirecting for the moment because of motherboard issues with my home server. Free ad money. Couldnt resist putting that Runescape crap up.:)
I'm a "all I do is code" type and I've written some truely amazing code which works quickly, efficiently and is used on hundreds of different high traffic websites. I have yet to find someone who can understand what it does and how it does it. Its voodoo to everyone.
Its a 20 line snippet which never needs to be touched. Thats why its perfectly acceptable. If someone else needed to change it then they would more than likely throw it away and do it the conventional (slow and bloated) way.
If your working in a team which doesnt understand each other's styles fluently then you'll be wanting someone with many interests. However get a couple of really great guys who understand each other then you will get superior code in a fraction of the time.
Its a slow moving tram system, not a high speed commuter train.
The only malice I'd imagine is curiosity. I probably would have done the same thing at that age just to see if it would work. Apparently the designers were so stupid that it did work.
Dont celebrate yet. We havent got decent prices yet.
Anything more than $5 for a CD is too much. You can buy jewel case CD-Rs for under a dollar a pop which would cost more to make than a music cd. That means over $4 profit for the RIAA of which the artist gets a tiny fraction. Currently its closer to $20 profit.
I can take my Aussie (where I live) phone and bring it to Turkey (where I am atm) and it will work fine. I also have the option of swapping SIM cards to a turkish one to save money.
I actually didnt know that the US wasnt like this. Seems kinda (well *really*) stupid to me.:)
I'm no expert, but the latest movies seem to indicate that flares still work with fighter jets and stuff like that. That would indicate that the missiles arent terribly bright.
Slashdot Mirror
A alternative to getting a RFID manufacturing plant is just to rig up a little transmitter to a computer.
You'd then emulate the cloud. Pretty simple.

My code is usually very understandable although I dont comment unless its requested.
There is just occasionally some times where I can do a task the normal way or a completely different way which produces better results.
I would post it but I'm under a NDA.
:P

Define musical talent. :P
I can play half a dozen different instruments (brass) yet I cant read a note of music.
I play by ear. Does that qualify?
Oh btw the code snippet I'm talking about has been around for four years now with no complaints.

It all depends on the type of work.

I'd imagine the derailing was a accident.
Probably couldnt control everything quick enough from a tv remote.

I'm not forgetting, I'm ignoring.
Yes Australia has another network technically functional.
You wont be able to walk in to a store and buy anything which will use it however.
The Americans sound like they are trying to avoid convergence on a single standard at all costs.
To be exact, it would be much smarter to just stick 98 on it. :)
It would run fine.
Windows CE would still be trying to fit a square in to a circle.
Its a full laptop, just low powered.
XP is too bloaty, CE is too minimal.
It just shows that Microsoft cant make something run efficiently enough to run on low end hardware.
Network boot is extremely cool, fast and useful. :)
Once you have it set up that is.
The stupid bit (to me) is that incompatible networks exist.
There is nothing *technically* stopping you as long as both use the same channel.
Its just up to the firmware of the device which determines what it can do.
There certainly are some which can do it without much hacking.
Thats why they have Hummers for driving to McDonalds three times a day. :)
Its really good if your about 14 and are really insecure on a forum. :)
Mind you I believe most people when flaming hold down shift as opposed to using caps lock.
Might be a intelligence thing....
Its not just Europe, its the entire world.

You know it is actually copying while the cache gets filled.
The usb disk isnt sitting there idle.
Ugh Lisp is one of the most useless languages I've ever programmed with.
Maybe fine for teaching but you would be stupid to use it for anything.
Well that page does say that they register 600,000 daily. :)
