Do we not have a space station up there, might it not need extra parts of wires or glass or metal, could we not recycle by going to get them using a shuttle and bringing them back to the station to reuse the parts, or even have a smelt up there where we could burn up the metal to create new shapes needed for repairs...etc.
Come on people...let's get with the program...recycling is good and will waste a lot less money creating lasers or water guns or robotic garbage collectors!!!
I really hope NASA and the like are reading this, they need better management!
This could be what itunes needs, trying to compete with torrents, wake up, i guess some people are still using vhs and others 8 track for nostalgic effect, but i swear those that do not get with the program will be left behind, even Metallica ended up finally bending over for torrent industry. Lars even downloaded his own album!
If it was something to do from an external source, then symantec would not "cover it up". No this is not some hacker with a plan, this is more a bad decision by symantec corps, that now is coming back to bite them in the ass, and want to avoid it at all costs, because we all know, if norton could say "Hey this is a spyware, not our doing, so use this tool of ours to delete it...." they would!
Php, is fun,simple,advanced,and cool all at the same time, it is simple enough for the newbs,advanced enough to control pcs going unto your web page, quick enough not to overload the servers, and also web based, so as to allow more interaction by the students (all of the students today want a cool facebook page or myspace page). The best also about this is its free, and comes free with linux also free for those students who cant afford windows. Those who have windows, can install webserver1.0, and run php directly from a home version of xp...dont need pro. So all your needs are taken care of.
You could always try.net or asp or vb, but again , license etc... might cost more then the student can spend.
You could always include them in a future sale on ebay or something....also bump up the price a bit. "Buy now these ram sticks and get extra usb key flash drive!!"
Dude, the sad truth is that ALL TECHNOLOGIES GO THROUGH THE ARMED FORCES FIRST, before coming mainstream to the population (that is of course useful inventions, not just any idea). They have the budget to make it commensurable, then once in production, the owners can take it to the public (usually 2 or 3 years down the road) and end up making it main stream. Like cell phone jammers, now even you and I can buy one, to jam those pesky cell phones from work to avoid employees using their cell phones.
Watch how during this economy, people like M$ will become as greedy as they can be, because they know they need their money, and think this is the way to do it. Watch Linux in this economy grow in market share because of this same reason, and that no one wants to pay these outrageous prices. Watch as many more IT admins get used to the linux environment, and get passed the usual starting jitters of accepting linux as their work environment. Watch as linux becomes a more stable choice amongst home users as they see less expenditures on anti virus and anti spyware etc...
Watch and see our new linux overlords....sorry got carried away there for a minute....but you get my drift.
That DRM was broken close to 10 years ago or so by this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elcomsoft I dont think they changed the encryption, just the way they encrypted it. My guess is that the tools created by Dmitri and the rest still work today....I may be wrong.
I think they were worried more about the terrorist cells that are waiting for such an opportunity for a target such as this, as all the other nations, would never jeopardize their relations, over attacking 2 lowly subs...that could start WW3, but a small cell could in fact try such a lame assault and then start a "guess who dunn it" type media event.
So you mean that all those mona lisa replicas make everyone that has them criminals... I don't think so....I believe if we live in a world where people can make replicas of art for use in books to show off some art, or even as a fake painting sitting in someone's den, I doubt the cops will be called out, especially if asked by someone and admitting , "yeah i bought a fake one, cuz I liked the way it looked".
I am a software developer, and when someone buys a copy of windows or office, they OWN it. That said, when you buy a computer and it comes with a license for windows xp, you can format the drive as many times as you want...you bought the license, therefor, you do not need to repurchase a copy each time you want to reinstall. You could even lose your cd, use someone elses cd, and when it came time to insert your key and it did not work (because of the OEMs), you could call M$ and ask for a key, seeing as you have a legitimate license.
Now if I sell that computer, the license goes with it. A game is not quite the same, but being that you bought it, you could give it to someone as a gift...even though you used your money and left the store with it...this does not make it your copy, so if there was an exchange of money between 2 people behind closed doors...again it would belong to whoever has it in their hands at that time. Even if I have a Wow account, I can sell it online (ebay) and they would send me money, I would send them the password, they would change all the personal profile stuff, and voila the game is "transfered".
Lets call a spade a spade shall we, pure and simple, they see this as A) a loss of income because they actually thought they would (like in the old M$ times) have so many copies sold because everyone needed their own copy, and this represents an end to that (sort of).
B)They did not think of it themselves, recycle games, send them back to us with all the materials, and we will give you a credit for your next game purchase.
Problem is that an email infected with a virus coming from within your own companies firewall, means someone's system was infected (using those stupid screensavers again?) and now has propagated to excel files within the network , on the servers, or on local pcs.
You have no idea how many excel files get transfered within a company during the day that does not come from the outside, but could be infected.
Yes, but without his "stance" however small and not really law abiding as it may be, it made headlines, and now we know there IS a problem with landlords not paying the mortgage, when they rent and this could ultimately lead to someone in the senate to pass a bill that states if you are being foreclosed upon and that your tenant has paid his rent, either you reimburse his money with interest or penalties for breaking contract, as well as maybe something in the form of a seizure hold for the banks to not just swoop in and pull the rug from underneath them, maybe there could be a leniency time allotted for them to find something else.
Point is, this at least made MORE people aware of the problem, hopefully further up the ladder then just a lowly cop.
Yes in part, but the contract (which you wont be able to google, sorry) stipulates that they retain any creative copyrights to the music, therefor anyone wanting to use it would have to pay them not UMG. UMG would just be able to make money off of their own record sales (unlimited if they want) as long as they pay a sum of x dollars agreed upon between both parties.
Technically, Metallica could also sell the same album to lets say PDiddy bad boy productions and ask him to resell, and you could have 2 labels carrying the same album...although I am sure that UMG bought exclusive production rights.
I agree, but because he thinks of himself as a former victim, thinks its ok for him to sort of do it. All the while, admitting he downloaded illegally a musig file...I would love to see the RIAA knock on his door, and bring him to court.....I would laugh so much!
Lars> Wait guys, I am the one that told you guys to go after pirates, this is MY SONG! RIAA> Correction, it was your song, it now belongs to the RIAA because of the suit brought against you, we now are going to get justice, guys let's make an example out of him... "Your honor, I would like to hold Lars responsible for punitive damages of 50 million dollars because he is a public figure, and sets a standard amongst all who listen to his style of music." Judge>Your request is granted. Lars> Oh sh*t!
Like ripping off the movie industry of their product. Yeah that's our freedom right there. This is more of a way to bypass the laws that would normally include file sharing of regular files, in the generalization of p2p torrent laws enforced by the ISPs, but fall into the category, you are using torrents so this file must be a bad pirated one.
So, we are now in the age where bionics is a reality for things like eye replacement. I am very glad, however, I believe the next cool thing should be exoskeletons, too many people have lost abilities to being able to do many things (either old age, MS, parkinsons etc...) An exoskeleton would offer more power to be able to move around freely by thinking about it, and have the proper strength to carry out that action. Lifting a box (not one of 100lbs, but one of 20lbs.) would be easier for that older 70 year old lady.
As well, crippled people in the case of Christopher Reeves, would have been able to walk. I hope there are more things out there we will be able to do for the good of mankind, this is definitely one of them though.
Is it safe, have there been studies made to review what happens to your hands after 10 years or so of handling this "paper". I would be curious to see, you can get certain diseases from handling excrement or certain types, I would like to know the process with which they create it, is there a certain amount of processing that goes to neutralize the offending bacteria/viruses?
Yeah, I stopped going to those "bars" for exactly that reason, now when I want to drink, I invite all my friends to my place make an evening of it, and in the morning you still have loads of bottles left for the next party.
Unless your band manager says even though your NSync and you have sold millions of albums, you still owe us 100,000$ that you will have to pay off, because of all the costs I incurred in getting you to the top. He was brought to court( same guy that started the backstreet boys as well) and guess what he lost...because he was over charging on everything to raise the price of the expenses to more then what they could get profit. This does not make sense in the book industry, music or other...for a manager takes no risks, seeing as the band is supported by the company not the manager, why would he charge for each little thing. Give a set budget of 100,000$ for marketing and that's it...make good use of it, so that after that all there is is profit no? Radiohead got it right, everyone should follow, including all the writers, they could use the pdf formats and crypto functions of adobe to do so.
A publisher pays 10% for a book....I guess you have not written anything lately then. Google it , you will see , like the recording industry, writers are grossly underpaid something like 1$ (max) per book, some even as low as a few cents, per copy.
Depends on the contract, I would say though, that even if something like this cost x amount of dollars to produce on print, ebooks cost nothing, they take up room on a server for download, and cost x amount to create from a written copy (from the writer) to a digital copy, which is always done anyways for backup purposes. So again nothing costs money there, no R&D, no materials, nothing, so an ebook can be sold for 1$ and still make money!

nope, it doesnt. Php is alot easier to understand then python.
Thats where darknet comes in.
Would you mind sharing the names of these rootkits, as I am thinking about running linux and would love a heads up for reading up purposes.
