Yes, I would hate to do something illegal. I think I'd much rather install the *new* version of their spyware instead

I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have and can also provide you with any information I have available in regard to the positions and work life at Microsoft.

You can learn more about our vision for the New World of Work at http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/execmail> http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/execmail.
Additionally, if you are aware of any current or previous colleagues who might also be interested in opportunities at Microsoft, I would be happy to speak with them as well. Referrals are always welcome, and are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and I look forward to an opportunity to speak to you in the near future

I'd thank you for your offer of employment at Microsoft, except that it indicates that either you or your research team (or both) couldn't get a clue if it were pounded into you with baseball bats. What were you going to do with the rest of your afternoon, offer jobs to Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds? Or were you going to stick to something easier, like talking Pope Benedict into presiding at a Satanist orgy?
If you had bothered to do five seconds of background checking, you might have discovered that I am the guy who responded to Craig Mundie's "Who are you?" with "I'm your worst nightmare", and that I've in fact been something pretty close to your company's worst nightmare
since about 1997. You've maybe heard about this "open source" thing? You get one guess who wrote most of the theory and propaganda for it and talked IBM and Wall Street and the Fortune 500 into buying in. But don't think I'm trying to destroy your company. Oh, no; I'd be just as determined to do in any other proprietary-software monopoly, and the community I helped found is well on its way to accomplishing that goal.
On the day *I* go to work for Microsoft, faint oinking sounds will be heard from far overhead, the moon will not merely turn blue but develop polkadots, and hell will freeze over so solid the brimstone will go superconductive.
But I must thank you for dropping a good joke on my afternoon. On that hopefully not too far distant day that I piss on Microsoft's grave, I sincerely hope none of it will splash on you.
Intel is saying that AMD shot themselves in the foot by not having enough production capacity, and even if Intel leveraged their weight against AMD, there were no damages as a result of it.
AMD could easily say that BECAUSE of intels actions they didnt have enough market share to be able to invest in more production. Thus, they can cite plenty of damages.
At the end of the day the only people that will really benefit from this whole scenario are the lawyers. Either way they get paid out so they dont really care.
Clearly as you said in your post AMD would be engaging in a really stupid risk if it didnt see clear favorable effects for its company in the future.
The only people who will benefit arnt lawyers. Believe it or not, lawyers actually do serve a purpose and CAN effect socially & economically important cases.
If AMD wins, then it is my belief that it will have a tremendous positive effect on the entire CPU market. It will benefit AMD immensley and it will also benefit the consumers.
The point is, eventually when Intel has kicked off AMD enough they can afford to raise prices slowly but surely. Thats what happens in a monopoly and thats why we have laws against them.
What I understand from the article is that the actual video stream isn't protected; what's encrypted is the server/file location and (perhaps) a username/password.
Is it really so ? Or have I missed something ?
This is exactly the case. And because the address and port are so easy to find through netstat, "It's more likely that the purpose is to prevent competing media players from supporting the NSC format,"
.xxx is a tld that is voluntarily supported by the porn industry to help make blocking easier for parents and librarys etc. In no way is it supposed to be a SOLUTION, but the start of a migration.
It doesnt even make sense for people to oppose this TLD. Pornography is ALREADY THERE, how are you going to tell me that migrating it to.xxx is going to make it worse?
People really need to think about what they are saying especially when it involves an emotional subject like this. A XXX tld isnt "legitimizing" porn, porn is ALREADY LEGITIMATE, open your fucking eyes people.
They can search their databases for gold-making *rates*.
Seeing everyone who has made 800G in 1 hour then investigating where that gold came from can glean enough information to determine what happened and if a ban is warrented.
No, if you transfer an item to another player its supposed to retain its unique ID. Theres no reason to give it a new id because the old person doesnt have it anymore, make sense?
And it appeared in that screenshot items were being duped and sold, so the ID thing is BS?
in the event that thread is closed or dead:
http://www.firepacket.net/wowdupe.html
BTW, what happened to that "unique id" that each item had that prevented anyone from ever having two of them?
The defense would have access to the same evidence and would have an advantage if the suspect can recall what he was doing on his computer on the date in question.
Comone guys this is stupid.
Along with the cached picture would be the cached HTML it was displayed with.
Such an html page with the image set to 1x1 would be OBVIOUS PROOF that said image was *PLANTED* and downloaded *WITHOUT CONSENT*. There woul be no problem dismissing such a case.
His theory is that people who are "up to something" are more likely to write differently than people who aren't
Yeah, they are more likely to use solid encryption which renders this whole stupid effort useless.

Its a chicken/egg argument.

Who cares about the lawyers

So far the only casualties seem to have been a few dead cows
Thank you SO MUCH. I have found my new background.
