A distiction is made between civil and crimial infringement, to cover people selling bootlegs. Under the DMCA, civil is 150k, criminal is 250k. (Can't a person be prosecuted under both, so 400k? max per item. 26 episodes in a season,10400k max?)
I disagree with this ruling. When we start marking certain sent data as objectionable and unsolicited it creates a problem that it is possible to redefine any data as unwanted, and charge the sender. This also creates a lack of responibility atmosphere, instead of the administrator setting up some barriers, they will simply sue the other companies out of business.
As far as I can gather from the article, these companies did not setup zombies inside his network, they were, they were sending mass mail to him directly. If he was smart, a quality firewall would cut them off. (But hey, using the law to win yourself a theoretical one billion that none of those companies have, sounds like a good reason to be incompetent on the job)
This reminds me of the FCC, and how electronic devices must recieve harmful interference, instead of being hardend. Same case with spam, instead of companies trying to harden themseleves agaist it (many tools freely available, and many more comercial solutions) then turn to the goverenment to have them babysit them. (Which is rather threatening when someone with knowledge and a purpose steps in and abuses the systems, (spammers/crackers/ terroists? (aka the boogy man)))
While PPC support was dropped, if I recall correctly back in the Win NT 4.0 days, NT was amazing because it was designed from the ground up because it could basically be compiled for any endian chip/any aritecture.
Since it is the core of the current and future lines of windows, the windows base should be portable to a cell based system, basically it requires some new drivers and probably tweaking of the HAL abit. The problem is that all the applications (that we all consider part of the windows os but are really just applications running on top) would need to be redone.
Microsoft would have one of these machines in house by now for they're windows teams to work on supporting. That I have no doubt, what I do doubt if microsoft will consider this important/the future and if they'll support it during the inital release (w/ longhorn maybe?) or if they'll come late and lose a large section of the market as we all jump and have to use a *nix as the desktop.
If this whole cell thing is more then hype, and is the wave of the future, Microsoft will support it.
Most people can't easily give up control of they're pet projects.
My advice would be to take the money if ur not loosing completle control, but ONLY if this will be the only time you'll really need to do a VC round, when you get into Bridge Funding and 3rd VC rounds, that's when you'll really start to see lack of control.
From what I've seen, if possible don't take any VC money if you want control, or take it in one lump to save yourself the hassle (ie the exessive money is good, just don't go nuts, and put it aside for further R&D)
What is the difference? (Emotionally, not mechanically, there's much more tactical feedback w/ paper/pencil and it's easier to mock something up real quick w/o worrying about changing tools or "features") Both are tools, one is more established:D
FreeBSD is great because I had to do very little work to get a server running exactly how I wanted. Not a bunch of diverse distros to sift through.
This was my first *nix box that I setup and FreeBSD has been relitivily painless and rock stable (my needs are minor)
People have been saying Crossfire is a "popular" show on these boards. This is the first time I've seen the show, since I turned off CNN which I used to religously watch about 2 years ago when they started to compete w/ the idicoy that is FoX News.
Anyways, I wonder if this is they're most popular episode ever, (if there we could tell how many people have watched it on iFilm, from the torrent, private servers, IM->IM transfers, etc).
I'd expect this the show that most people have ever watched of crossfire, beating out any future shows, even if they had Bush or Kerry on.
And because he's trying to be responsible with this power is why he is a great man.
I wish more people would stop playing it "nice" and address these serious issues.
I've got a big heavy "laptop". [Alienware Backpack] is what I use to haul around my 9 pound laptop. Plus, cellphone, mp3 player, and pda. Plus related cables/charges and a spare battery. It's not exactly a normal backpack, and it's not laid out to carry around books, but it's extremly confortable to wear, and hold (the top strap). $90 dollars might be out of your price range, but I enjoy mine.
You can get this already on the internet.
I think the best way to approach the subject is to properly explain to kids what things are, instead of hiding them from it. Give them a realistic base, respect your kids, and teach them what and how to react. I would rather approach a situation from a logical, knowledgeable point of view, rather then a deer in headlights innocents.
Keyhole has several features
Earth Sphere in 3d
3d terrain data
Street level details of many highly populated areas of the US.
Overlays of Roads/Rails/Water ways
Overlays of resturrants/lodging/gas stations
It's not limited to just the US, it has data of many locations of the world.
The downsides i see to keyhole are needing a fat pipe (like the nasa client), widly varying levels of detail, especially outside the US.
My car would love this if it didn't need a broadband internet connection, and could store the data locally, at least for a select area(s). (Keyhole says they've got terabytes o data)
Just because someone took an exploit and exploited doesn't mean they would be good a doing security. If they were the one that researched the hole and then developed a proof, then yes, they might be a good hire, but someone that grabbed a source code package/modified/redistrubited, no.
The logic goes. I have a social issue on a technical system. People at this popular technology site have experience running websites and communities. Maybe they have some suggestion to my problem. On top of this, moderators at slashdot probably had the logic of, this is a intresting issue to deal with on a comunity, and other people who run communties might also want to know how to handle similar situations.
If slashdot's moderation systems are working properly, you will probably moderated down as being a troll.
Do what you will. Date who you will. If you wish to only date/seek relations with people of your own mindset that is your choice.
How I personally react is, limiting yourself to one side is cutting off your expereince in life, and essentially stagnating the way you think.
I can see where this niche would be a desire. Maybe there would be times I'd want to test out some software before buying, or needed to scale up seats at the office quickly etc.
This isn't the market they're looking at though, because in all honestly, the development of these software packages is rather expensive, so I think they're looking for sometihng bigger then niche markets.
Converly I could be off my rocker, and this isn't a niche, but a glaring hole in software.
IMO, I still wouldn't bother. I prefer "ownership" over leaseing/renting. God knows I have enough theorecital legal problems with my CD collection, don't want those issues migrated to my software collection.
Everything I want for computer use is pretty much existing in a state I already own (Office, Visual C), or is being developed by a more open/donaiton system (Firefox,Thunderbird,Filezilla,Sunbird). There's a limited amount of applications I would LIKE, and none that I NEED, that don't really exist yet. So why in hell would I pay a monthly service fee for word? When I believe Word 97 was just fine, and now instead prefer OpenOffice more(majority of the time I just use notepad.exe).
The only avenue I see that could possibly get away with rental systems is the game industry, but only if they're rental prices severally undercut store prices. (Halflife 2?). That's the only area where there's consitently a new killer app that is needed. Not exactly IBM's home turf. Mircosoft on the other hand...
Bah, screw the entire thing, just disrupte w/ Bittorrents and Coral, and ask for donations.

Agreed, I read the title and assumed something important was happening, versus someone telling me the obvious.

I'll simply reject the documents. Tell the sender that I do not accept documents in that format. As it is right now, I generally ignore PDF files.
