Someone makes a new format, like maybe a picture format, and it has in it a chance that some images may have the same ID characteristics as say some copyrighted music; now the chance is designed to be small, so that the format is somewhat widely adopted before 'hits' become common. Then you get a bunch of people filing a class action suit against chip makers.
How can this possibly work? Even though the protection is now embedded in the hardware, the data is still software, and there will always be some old computers around, along with people that can think of some way to disguise the data so it will work on the new computers. It all boils down to 1's and 0's, and I believe there are more conceivable ways to arrange them than can be tested for.
Then I started thinking, if they would sell cd's with a unique number inside the label, it would be possible to do this legit'. The number would be used to register the cd in your name, and each number could, and need, be used only once, to eliminate fraud. Once registered, you have permission to download those songs, the record industry could even host the data.
Since there are a limited number of songs in the world that everyone listens to, it would be more efficient for everyone to just pool their resources, and backup all of their music to a common area. Then we could use bit torrent to retrieve the files when needed.
I helped a friend do this using a small tv instead. All you need is a lense, and switch a couple of wires in the tv to reverse the picture. Works fine, and small tv's are a whole lot cheaper. Shouldn't be hard to find the detailed plans, leave the expensive homemade lcd projectors for the rich guys.
Like previously said, putting it in a photo will only last so long. So perhaps the best way is to avoid detection is to have an encryption system that only alters keywords in a message. If you have what appears to be an ordinary, plain message, without any, or at least without many, key words appearing in it, then how could it possibly be detected?
A case in point: A majority of people in North Carolina seem to want a state lottery, yet it was voted down, the news will never tell you who voted which way. How is the average person supposed to know who to vote for?
But what about the people in the congress and senate that 'overwhelmingly' approved this? Is there a website that has a list of how each person voted on the matter so we can hold them acountable at election time? That is how the system should work, but it doesn't, because hardly anybody has any idea what the hell their representatives are doing. Everybody just picks whichever bastard seems to be the best during election time. There is of course no actual knowledge or data involved in this decision, just one person that seems to be a little less awful than the other. According to the comercials, at least.
By preventing the cable companies from leasing them to end-users,
I have a $500 DVR, that works beautifully, plays to two TV's independently, and I pay $5 a month for it from my satellite provider. I could not afford it on my own, is this what they are trying to do?
300 miles is the length of your country, and you expect us to be familiar with it? That's like somebody telling me 'we found the body in your car', and then I'm all like 'get it right man, that body was in my trunk.' Just be thankful we mentioned your little island at all. Darn Irish.
(a) Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy.-- Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided:
(1) that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner, or
(2) that such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes only and that all archival copies are destroyed in the event that continued
Clearly, the copy is able to be modified to play on an emulator or it can be archived, nothing else. In fact if the original gets destroyed, it could be argued that you no longer have a right to use the copy, because you may not have a legal right to owning the original anymore. There is something to be said about critical thinknig courses.

After trying out puppy a couple of months ago, it became my main live cd. It really does work nicely, and usually loads faster than the regular os.

While were on the subject, does anyone know how to make use of the data port on the back of the 921?

It might also be a good idea to use voice for the morse code entry. 'wee' could be short, and 'ooo' could be long. My 3 year old son would love it.
It makes one wonder how many games, and movies could have been better if not for the restrictions imposed by the really long lasting copyright law.
This definitely goes under 'you might be a geek if...'
Sounds like maybe I should be living in Canada.
It is easier to hand out a bunch of subpoenas at one time.
One can also use a thesaurus to give fancier names to variables with larger scope.
That is how I view every possible interaction I ever have.

I say just do it, even if we screw it up, we will learn much from that mistake, and then we can fix it the right way.

I barely passed high school, now, 14 years later, I am a junior in college, with a 4.0 GPA.
so who has access to the non-publicly available data? Is it only the countries involved, or is it shared with other countries?
the face on the picture flip through? It is on day 12/23. Freaky.
I need it to fit on a CD. Do you really think I can afford a DVD burner when I can't even afford to go to the video store to rent my movies?
