ummmm. seems like you are anti TPB there....all the guy was saying is that everyon is jumping on the bandwagon that if it is torrent then it must be illegal, and that just because EMI or RIAA says that what you downloaded was illegal, then they better have proof, and most of the times they don't...they don't even bother to download the torrent themselves to see if the contents are truly what it is supposed to be....they use the names of the torrents or scan for a digital signature whithin the torrent (watermark) which resembles their own.
However, I can easily reproduce the watermarks they use and plant them within all files being downloaded at TPB. This would force them to then change their way of discovering if there is really illegal downloading going on. If I have also a family of say 30 and plant a nice big family album dvd of pics and videos on the torrents so that my family can get to them, and I name it Terminator2....would you like to bet on how quickly I would be flagged for having illegal downloads happening because my torrent has the same name as a movie.
As for all TPB downloads being illegal, it shows you do not use it yourself, 90% is a bit high to say that all that is there is illegal, where did you come up with this number...might I ask? Pull it out of your thinking cap?
The guy that did the story is an ex M$ employee that ventured out to start his own business, surely nothing that M$ could not spend a little on for him to write up bad reviews for everyone except M$....!
With our technology of today I could see more like 2 to 5 pounds max each...why so heavy, and for the distance they need to be thrown, have built in parachute like devises to avoid getting damaged, and lower the need for protective outer shell...would cut down a bit on the weight...throwing a 10 vs throwing a 5 pound weight is enormous.
>Because version numbers mean so much. You know what? Java is on version 6 already, and depending on >how you're counting, version 7 is due soon.
Yes, what I meant by they are at 4.0 already, is each version brought MAJOR improvements to the framework, each with a small notion of what they were aiming for in the next one to follow. They also (shamelessly) copy everything the add-ons for a previous version comes up with, so that all the cool add-ons (ie- like re factoring) is standard in the next version.
M$ as greedy as they are have a viable vision of what they see the market going. They ask their developers how they can improve on the product to render even more functionality available. JAVA as I like to call it, seems to have been stagnating for awhile. No new REAL improvements... the interpretation is slower, although I heard there was a major overhaul on the way they implemented the interpreter, so that now code runs much much faster.
I am not an M$ fan, trust me, I am just someone who likes job security and with.NET, well... I don't need to show you how many jobs are out there, you can see it for yourself. I liked java for awhile back when I was learning programming, I also liked Perl very much for its text based manipulations. The first real dvd ripper was done in 9 lines of Perl code.
I liked JAVA back in the day also because it was my first OO language. Then I went into M$ with J++ and then C# then now J#, really no difference at this point, a language syntax being only diff. between languages today...or is it?
RUBY, (yes I capped it) is a modern day 3rd level language, a language for a language. The way assembler is created by the c++ code, to then be further changed into binary...is the same as RUBY is more of a module creator, to which upon sits on top of C++, in a nutshell. Ruby has a great future ahead...with so much development being taken out and put into a core module process, as with F#.
Java (for you...no caps) is on its way out, because the language is at the furthest it can be. It does not belong to a company to that has a market share of the OS in use today. It is much slower then others amongst its kind (I have read numerous benchmarks to support this, too lazy to site them all, however I am sure you can goggle it) and there is no real inter relationship with a major Office application like Office from M$.
I hate M$ with a passion, for what it stands for...greed. I hate Java for what it stands for... a missed opportunity to give M$ a great competitor. Yes you can still use direct assembler on most chips too (for microwaves etc) does not mean the future is going to let you keep being able to do this...and JAVA's reason for not evolving with the times are silly. Invest in your self... make new major advancements, or fall behind...and it is lagging right now.
As for JAVA vs. Java...at first it was a pure inside joke from way back in school (12 years ago) and stuck, so no real reason why the caps...other then habit, but if it really irks you that much, then I would have to recommend you not apply for a job at most companies, where they MIGHT have different coding standards then you...such as variable naming conventions different then your own.

Close all paypal accounts, and use mostly kijiji for my ads, and use ebay less then likely unless item is really something i need...then I use credit card on paypal..
Well there ya go, put people in charge that have no backgrounds in IT and let them call the shots, because they NEED to tell people what to do, we call this micromanaging. Just because it is easier to remember your dogs name, or to leave a password blank, does not mean you get to tell the network admin to make it so. His job is to enforce security, if put blinders on him or limit his power by overruling him, then don't expect for anything to be secure!!!
Talking about beatings???? No, it was Jack Bauer, he needed to get someone to talk, and was willing to do whatever was necessary to accomplish his task!
I truly agree, bad OS design, some lack of security based on too much money it would cost, and not enough people really taking security seriously, there will always be that one person with a password equal to a dogs name or their birthday!!!
>>what a scam THAT turned out to be! >Oh, bullshit. It worked Ummmm.....have you looked out the window lately, I don't really see much of the JAVA run stuff except on small phones where they have no choice but to use it because everything is so limited and the JAVA modules are pretty robust in being self sustaining.
When compared to python, php, ruby,.NET any language, or even Perl, the language seems to have been stagnating. The lack of further enhancement on the many modules available is the best gauge we can use..NET is 4.0 already, PHP have pushed the boundaries with the modules available, yet JAVA seems to be in the background....like that plump little kid in school that strill thinks he might have a chance to make it to the finish line, although many others have crossed it a long time ago!
The thing about calculating cost for diesel, is that you can make your own bio-diesel and run off of it, and go through all the restaurants in your area, and collect their oils, for making the bio-diesel. All in all,they get more miles per galleon so you can't really calculate 1 for 1 in this situation.
>All diesels in the 70s where gutless. Heck simple truth was all cars in the US in the 70s where pretty gutless
I hate to break it to ya, but most muscle cars come from that era, and with some over 400hp stock, you would have to be ____ (insert your fruity comment here) to miss this....!
If you plan on putting it beside a Ferrari, sure it doesn't compare...if all you need to do is get to work in the morning, everyday for the next 25 years without needing to change cars because of the wear and tear on the engine...then diesel is for you!!
Wasn't the whole hoopla of JAVA to be cross platform development? I thought the whole deal was code in JAVA, and everyone will be able to run your app no matter what platform... what a scam THAT turned out to be!
Probably because there is, however, no matter what the situation was, even if he belittled the guy's mother, you never have the right to cause physical harm to another human being (unless you are Jack Bauer from 24)
The problem is that the credit card companies look at this investment as a luxury and not a necessity and like most investments, unless there is a need it will get filtered down to a basic formula.
Compare the cost of just reimbursing the people who have been stolen from, compared to the investment it would take to change the WHOLE cc infrastructure , and then ask yourself this....If it is not a crime to offer less secure credit cards, do you have to invest in more security, or will just saying you could not invest anymore cost less in the end?
If the government were to step in and say for each security breach a company has (with cc info) they get a 100,000,000$ fine which would for starters stop them from KEEPING the cc on file, which they do not need to do. Secondly...if the credit card companies were to get a massive overhaul in the standards they NEED to implement for cc security...and adjust a fine system for the longer they wait, the more expensive it becomes, they would have no choice but to invest in their own infrastructure as well.
This is also the problem with the gas companies, they do not want to invest in creating more processing plants , which when a hurricane hits texas, guess what,they have their excuse for raising the gas prices. If the government forced them to invest to create more infrastructure, so these things would not happen, then it would have no more price fixing happening.
Can the government step in, in either of these cases...probably not, because of the road blocks they put in themselves...however you go to a country like Syria, where everything is controlled by the government you would not be able to complain, as a company, they would just laugh you out of the country.
Nokola Tesla, was responsible for this technology because he had vision far beyond what most people could ever dream of having, here is his biography!
I wish we could try to find more of these types of people and invest in giving them access to certain technologies which as most people know if what makes them great. Most inventors usually look at some technology and think, why not do it this way, or if we try to change this over here, we might get better results.
The problem is finding these men (as most know it is the men that invent...) and making education of the technologies availabel, seeing as many sometimes come from an impoverished background. I guess you could call it the international think tank project, but it would definitely result in some new and fresh ideas!!
The problem I see here, is exactly what was being suggested, by having more choice, you open up the door, and make more available to all, also doubling if not tripling the advertising per company added. Everybody wins, as now more and more 3rd world countries are trying to become digital, and move forward.
Becoming digital first will allow every sector afterward to grow and expand quicker! If we give them access to the internet, and all the people working there, think how much more p0rn we can get them to download!!!
You gotta hand it to/....to say they were able to/. the wave.google.com site, is pretty amazing. So what do we have here, in the google ache, its the wave.google.com site Here
Wait, doesn't the article site though that this sting operation was to go get info about which judge might be corrupt, and did not want anyone tampering with the evidence, so he decided to change passwords? Correct me if I am wrong, but this article is about a sheriff trying to keep his crime scene from being contaminated. You have to do what you have to do, and in this case this was the only way he could lock out anyone else, until I guess someone with more IT knowledge could review the info???
ps - I rather not mod you down for being off topic, I would rather redirect you to the proper path, which is discussing what the sheriff was attempting to do with this, and not his past, really.
Anything that can be pinged and return any sort of tcp/ip packets could be a control center if the contents of the packets can actually be translatable and have been mapped accordingly.
ie- ftp server has certain verbose return that may be configured based on what is being done, so the botnet program calls home to an ftp server...looking like a plain jane communication to any one looking. It tries a few different commands to which the ftp server can reply (with error messages) it can not proceed, however inside the ftp server error message is a text string that contains certain key phrases.
This scenario is similar to steganography, of hiding in plain sight, inside an image, the contents of data.... I think it's cool to be able to pass off information that is hidden to regular onlookers, but is a lot of coding for nothing if you ask me.
Set up a twitter account where a particular page has the commands for all your bots to follow, and....wait a minute....
It would be nice like a compromised credit card , get a new one, (ssn) and start from scratch with that one, but keeping a point of reference to the old one, we are in the 21st century, most people have these systems in place, it would be nice for once if the government could keep up!
Identity theft is a big problem, and I see no action on the government's part to do something about it. Sure they improve on the legal tender, and the drivers license and passports, but otherwise, everything else is not important enough to them. They should man up, and add some sort of security level to help people with identity fraud to get new papers, and render the old ssn useless (except to link up to as a foreign key for the new one to keep an eye on previous gov. info)
