  2. Re:Recycling on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 1

    I have to agree this fantasy novel he is quoting in the article is about having some sort of iron disease where the metals in use are affected, not to say it is exactly the same thing as the metals used stay in usage, but no more can be produced. Hence more recycling efficiency is needed.

    Can we recycle the elements supposedly going extinct, have we even tried, maybe we can figure out a process of recycling the tubes or lcd screen crystals etc.

    Just cuz my screen has 50 dots across the display doesn't mean it's useless...maybe if I am playing WoW but i can still use it for other stuff!

    Sad but true, I believe there was a precedent set in the US allowing goods (cds in this case) to be resold as used to someone, so that all used cd stores could make a living, same as software etc.

    So i guess now we need to hear about this, as it might go the opposite way and set a precedent
    for not being able to resell your bought items.

    There is a new add-on you can download to better understand
    this new technology and it's representation.
    It is called the File Crypto Knowledge-base or F.C.K. for short
    when coupled with OFF, lets you know exactly what the main scope of the
    application is.

    When the courts use F.C.K.- OFF they will get a better sense of
    where our technology is going and where they might stand in the near future
    with these prosecutions.

    I would have to say use unencrypted data that has stenography encrypted data in its stream....
    using stenography, you can embed encrypted data into the picture or file which itself is not encrypted , thereby giving the false sense that the data is not encrypted, on the other end you would use a decryptor and also have a slight advantage that most people looking at the picture would only see a dog or cat, and not know there is info hidden inside the image.

    Well, sorry to say, but when someone is on the inside that knows more then the average joe about information that can get them profits more then they would have normally, they call it insider information and I believe that it carries a minimum 5 year sentence in some parts of the US. Where did you say your VP resides again?

    Actually, planning a project with many developers to take care of each of their own

    I have to hand it to that guy that used to live in our college dorm, ANYTHING we needed he had an answer for or could help us find... answers to questions or tests, pirated softwares to help us with our projects, hard core parties to help us socially or just to relax, these guys play a special part in our society.

    Sad but true, yes, the premise of the game is to keep coming back for other stuff or quests that you just got to have or finish. Hi my name is Bill and I am a WoW Addict! I have a lvl 70 and thought the same thing, but now my raid team needs a few diff. types of players for the 25 man showdowns, and so I have started a few more characters to have some diff. lvl 70s able to be used for when someone else is missing.

    I have come up with a great way to minimize the damage though...I buy a 2 month card and then take 2 months off, not only does it allow me to get my OTHER stuff done, but also to save money....those 2 months of playing still cost you 30$!

  14. Re:r u kidding me....reverse psych 101 on ICANN Asked To Shut Down "Worst" Chinese Registrar · · Score: 1

    You are right, I didn't quite see the full extent of the title, as I have my /.
    on partial view so as to get more story lines through.

    If the prob is the reg.s not having up to date info , we need to change THAT system.

    Godaddy ( my reg. ) sent me some emails telling me that if i didn't update my info to the most recent info that i could get my names blacklisted from dns servers everywhere, so I updated, then it dawned on me, how do they know if the info is real, i have yet to get a knock on my door or call on my phone, so they just assume on activity in my account alone that the info is current...

    The present day situation with hackers being able to poison dns servers or cross redirection for zombie botnets in an attempt to avoid getting shut down, is more or less the same point i was making earlier. We need to track these guys more not less, so ok they didn't update the info properly, does that mean there is a phone call * how many people have service with that reg.

    We don't verify them all up front, we have to wait till we get a response from some team doing security checks that find a website as unsafe. Then we look into it...once looked into, that's when we discover the info is bad or misrepresented.

    We need to develop a better way of for reg.s names is all, the present day system sucks.

    I still say IF... the recourse action is to take down the registrars keeping the names,
    it wont work for long until the hackers find another way around it.
    You will only get somewhere by changing the present system, and forcing a sort of credentials check
    for owning a website. If I own a house, I have to jump through hoops not only are their many public records, but you have a big time tracking system with banks and government involved....where as a website .com name ....anyone and their grandmothers can get.

    Guys, we have to hold on to this ISP, the fact is it is easier to have all the websites on one
    ISP, then block that ISP from ever being allowed to show up in your browser, then it is to can them, and have to redo all the tracing work of where is this website now, and where is that one.

    We have lost enough resources already fighting this,
    we should leave them alone and let them think they are ok where they aren't.
    This way I wont have to reconfigure everything all over again to block a new slew of ip addresses.

    Have you ever called them for support before?
    I have, 8 times, each time was a chore to get them to understand
    what the problem was with their own software. I think maybe there is
    a high turnover there or something, each time I tried to ask for the same rep
    I was told they were not working there anymore.

    I understand if this is the problem, but even high turnover comes at a price, for the clients
