the redownloads are averaged by the duplications. i know ive given out many copys. Lan partys, on cd, on my USB key. i figure this kind of thing averages out, and hell, its a nice big, fat number;)
at first glance it looks like some screwball peice of modern art, but is really very simple, and quite ingenous. i would probably have wet myself if i was just driving along and suddenly encountered it, but now i see how it works, its very clever.
all the lights where i live are all induction controlled, with the main road defulting to green. however, the primary method of traffic control is roundabouts, and the various councils throw them in all over the place. the only one of intrest is only interesing because its so huge. i havent actually driven around it to see how big it is, but its big enough to have its own swampland in the middle. i think quite a few accidents have been caused by the various reptiles and birds that live there.
As you may or may not know, there has been a massive, hugely publicized crackdown on child porn in Australia. and the byproducts are visible.
I recently cleaned a friend-of-the-family's PC of a major spy ware infestation, brought on by their 7 yo son going on a porn site, egged on by his mates (as mates do). when the subsequent torrent of pop ups occurred a few days later, he was petrified that the cops were going to come and lock him up, as has happened to all the other people we have been hearing about on the radio/TV/papers.
Although it wont have a lasting effect (IMHO, if pron is there, it will get assessed), but not for a while he will stay away. the poor kid was so terrified, so conscious of what he had done, he will need some serious hormones to get up the courage.
Ivermectin is also widley used as a pour-on wormer for cattle.
Small amounts may be used for treating the poor, but huge amounts are used on cattle each year (well, in Australia at least). When its used on this scale, Im sure a few drums to a needy area are nothing to their profits...
This is important, because we have rather queer computing laws, such as no R (>18) rating for games. The two options we get are a chopped up version, with all the adult stuff taken out, or with the case of Manhunt recently, the game released as a MA (15+), until the authority's realized (probably complained to) the violence, and took it off the shelves. not that that really would have made a difference, because everyone who wanted a copy would have bought it, or your friend, Bittorrent. similar things happened with Postal 2.
I dunno how relevant this is, but the US laws on software exportation, such as PGP, I find annoying. I'm so used to the Internet not having international boundary's, it gets my goat that I'm banned from some software under another country's laws.
If I were you I would go 'Ye Olde' analogue and put a stereo potentiometer (variable resistor) on the line out jack. Thats what I've got. There are hundreds of types of knobs you can choose from, and it'll only cost you a couple of bucks for the pot, cable and plugs.
Of course, a key component is putting it together, but if you have any skill with a soldering iron, it should pose no problems.

I think this stems from "old school" hackers are more interested how things work, and are really just snooping, rather than causing damage. The new hackers are "script-kiddies" who find programs to run to do their hacking for them. Although it still takes skill and balls be a script kiddie, they don't learn as much, and so get their jollies from fucking over stuff.
Older hackers are also programmers, where as kiddie's wouldn't really have those skills. The programmers would understand the frustration of having their work taken, or at least not getting credit when credit is due. Kiddies wouldn't really understand that.
I recently have had a look around some of the BBS's that are present on the 'net (via telnet), particularly those running Synchronet software http://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html. Being to young for BBS's (and the town i live in would have never had a local system), I have never experienced them, but lookin around a few, I love them. Yay for retrogeeks!
i wish there was something like that remotely close to where I am, old computer systems are so cool. i think its a shame that there isn't something that we can do with all that old equipment
I tried that, but my friendly admin locked my account for it. Didnt seem to register the fact that EVERY machine has a searchbar (read: spyware), until I removed it and used my own copy of firefox. Of course, it got reinstalled as soon as someone else used it, but I used a decent machine. so much for saying that the thumb drive is a security threat.
You know, I don't think thats a particularly bad idea...
A Roomba crossed with a some small tracking beacons or perhaps the collar interfaces with its bowels (to know when they have been emptied) and gets the GPS coordinates of each doggy bomb. dog dumps, a little 'bot comes out and and cleans up the mess.
I know for sure thats the worst part of having a dog is that whenever you want to use your lawn, you have to pick up dog turd. Not fun.
If there was a product that did that, I know Id use it.

it would be nice not having to purchase a top-notch CPU, GPU, and PPU (Physics Processing Unit) in the future, rolling the PPU and GPU together
stop, go, next, usb storage, powered from 12v. the all in one usb car sound system. all for 110AUD bargin. (thats 83USD or 44GBP) i just found it avalible in the us @ 60usd. goddam cheap. http://www.merconnet.com/product_info.php?products _id=345&meRrid=8f4007a167e0b13d2a592a4d98265c96
