That is true to a big extent. Afew months ago I was helping a couple of university students with spyware and viruses and one thing suprised me on some machine.
This girl had acquired a pirated version of Norton 2004 off kazaa or some p2p and I think it was bundled with a crack. To cut the story short, Norton virus scan was detecting the crack file(Norton2004crack.exe) as a viral file. She thought the whole program was a virus since it was detecting "itself" as a virus.
Ofcourse I made a couple of bucks troubleshooting this.
Let us not forget the viruses and worms that spread through email. The writers get years in jail, which they deserve.
Does this mean that if I write a worm and embed it in a file say IbelieveIcanfly.wma or the something along those lines I will go away with it?
Or should they sue all those that click on it and get infected because they were obtaining copyrighted content illegally?
Yes email has been accepted by almost everyone and the law as a legal way of communication and sending files, plus the technology system and laws are trying to protect its integrity by tracking spammers, phishers, virus writters and all those bad guys.
However, this does not mean that the bad guys using p2p should go away with it. Worst of all this is a company that is endorsed by the RIAA a well known association though not sure whether it is still well respected by the masses, but this is an association that is always in court suing everyone from kids to big companies and sponsoring ads about moral behaviour and respect for the law. Aren't these double standards by the RIAA?
Okay, they may have calculated right, they have millions to dish to the lawyers and they may well be acting within the law or somewhere in the grey areas but they have no moral integrity. THEY ARE SADDISTS.
You may ban your child from eating candy and you are right to spank or ground him if he does but
placing a thorny object carmouflaged as candy under you kids' pillow is not something humane.
I wonder whether it has enough error correction to differentiate between actual gun shots and some of the rap music.
It would probably detect the radio on that teenager's shoulder as a missile launcher. Intergrate that with the missile defence system.......... I see dead rap lovers.
Embedded inside the HP entertainment system are most of the functions of a desktop PC. In this case, that includes a 566 MHz Intel Celeron processor, 64MB of RAM, and a 40 Gigabyte hard disk.
./ers know that whatever has a processor HAS linux in it's genes. I know it will not take long to port the latest kernel to it.
what hurts me though are the $$ that finally get to naughty bill for the embedded windows. HP should consider bare-bones.
Akiyoshi Kitaoka looks nerdy with those titanic size spectacles.
After all that work, wouldn't it be an incredible feat if he didn't have any glasses at all.
Heck, Mr Gates faces the very same spyware problem
Hehehe, Mr. Bill was human first, love for free stuff is in his blood. I can bet he got that spyware from download.com.
p2p technology was revolutionised as a result of that 2001 Napster ruling. The geeks set out to think, even those who were already thinking p2p thought deeper.
The result was kazaa. Though many "law makers" have cried foul again and again, I have watched p2p grow.
With the latest revolution in p2p technology involving internet telephony headed by Skype very few people see where the turning road was laid.
OfCourse./ers will agree with me, the bannishing of napster was a blessing indisguise as regards to p2p technology. While the congress, RIAA, MPAA.. look at a Devil we the non sinners see the Angel in p2p
All you need is teach the right material to the righy audience. not every tom, dick and harry is meant to go there.
i think with the right students liberal arts is not needed at university level. after all you forget that stuff after graduating that is if you haven't by graduation day.
brains are going to boil in that program. thats for surer
SP3.1 !!! just like the twins paradox by the time u realise the other guy will be younger and still fresh.
Recently, on my xp partition after i shutdown all apps ready to reboot. ring ring ring a call, i service that visitor while staring at the screen. after sometime as you would expect a "screen saver" appears(when did i apply that blue screen saver, i wonder ??).
hew, the "visitor" hangs up. i move my mouse and the screen saver is still saving my CRT. foolish me filled with all the caffiene at 4:00am, i hadn't realised it was the BSOD.
I am very familiar with Uganda b'se it my mother country. One thing to note is depending on the location of the school and what type of school it is the software needs will be totally different.
If you can give more info like the name of the school and where it is located in Uganda i can give u more useful data about the major requirements of different schools.

Wonderfull idea. That would give smokers a second chance to have great teeth.
In a sufficiently large number of people many are idiots and never underestimate the "effectiveness" of idiots in large numbers.
A lightning rod is a one time discovery. You either discovered it or died trying to invent it.
What did they actually run out of, the frozen McDonald's or the Vodka.
Boss: Now, Mike!!** i have always been clear tetris and other games are banned in this facility.
Mike: Boss, am trying to find the optimal block pattern arrangment that would maximise storage.
Bill is a geek. If he is not using unix, BSD or linux what is using?

linux will always support their software.
can you imagine a Texan calling customer service and he is routed to india.

What about China, Thailand and the rest of those buddies.
I knew it. Orders to obtain "free software" come from the Top, actually seems more like national policy.
Now that Brazil is also giving immunity for free software peddlers, I should reconsider expanding my business empire.
