Apple did not change the firmware to lock out open source users, they added a simple SHA1 hash to better avoid corruption if a sync is interrupted. The hash was cracked in one day. Furthermore the labels forced Apple to put DRM in its products.
The same thing could have been said about Television decades ago. It is not that the means of information propagation distort content, but it is that the market desires to listen to rap, hip-hop, and all the music that is considered "bad" by some people. Suplpy and demand. Elton, you should try making content that people like.
It is not like this affidavit is going to change the world or anything. There is absolutely no proof. It just sells newspapers and adds fire to crackpot theories.
Even if there was extraterrestrial life, I would not want to know about, or even let any of the crazy people in this world know about it. The reaction would not be good.
Humanity is not ready yet.
It is H.264, and your point only gets amplified by the fact that Apple might soon offer HD quality releases, add to that the bunch of exclusive content they offer sometimes.
The OLPC will do good in countries like Argentina, Chile, where the GDP per capita are the highest in Latin America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_America#Econom y). It actually makes sense for the project to be deployed widely in remote rural areas of such nations (Chile and Argentina already deploy computing centers in all schools in urban areas).
As far as other even less developed countries with actual armed/religious conflict, I see the OLPC being put into bad use (i.e trading), and never even reaching the children. Even if they do reach the children, what use is it to them when they have little food, or they are dying from some curable disease?.
Actually, putting the money in an overseas account is quite a good idea if you can manage to keep it "clean and quiet".
In Argentina, most of the above middle-class population (I'd say 10-15% max) does that to avoid paying local taxes. They get foreign credit cards (in foreign banks) because Argentines have mostly european ancestors (therefore citizenship if applied), and avoid paying taxes in large purchaes (electronics specially).
However the government has been cracking down recently, not allowing cheaters to get out of the country if they dont pay taxes (they check you before you cross the border to Uruguay, a popular wealthy tourist resort). They also put signs in shopping mall bathrooms saying "You will be caught" and so on.
The same in the US, I mean if you can get a foreign bank account, it is a good idea to do so to keep, say 5-10% of your monthly income in there and lie saying it goes to something else. Believe me, you will always need money for a divorce, car crash, something bad happening in your life, etc.
Keep it safe, and quiet. The same concept goes for almost anything in life, why give away information? why give away posible vulnerabilities?. It is a good practice to save your money early, start early and work your ass off. Make sure nobody knows that you have more money than you really do. If they can screw you, they will (in life, generally).
My question is, does Linux, more specifically Debian, use MD5 for its passwords? Or what kind of "system" does it use to store and compare hashed passwords?
Gizmo is just a *better* Skype, it has the option to record calls, add effects, map your phone calls with Google Maps (Inculding Satellite/Hybrid). And as a nice touch they give you 25 Cents free if you register, that means you could try Gizmo to call anywhere in the world.. free for a few minutes.
Not to mention the UI is nicer than Skype's.
But, Skype is the leading software, and it is extremely good. You cant put it down.
The nice thing about Gizmo is that it is SIP Based, so you can call the phone number it assings you with any SIP based phone.
Anybody experience the huge memory usage when opening a few big images?.
Firefox should focus on improving the bookmark manager, the preferences, and polishing up the UI, but not forget about the most important things, speed and stability that is.
It started as a lightweight mozilla, but it consumes just as a big chunk of memory as Mozilla does.
Today, Firefox is the only serious competition to IE, (I see a lot of people using FF, even non geeks). Also, remember that another of Firefox key features is security. Lets hope that IE7s new features (that are similar to the ones FF always had, tabs, search box, etc), dont take away market share from FF.
By the way, the Buenos Aires, Argentina international Airport (Ezeiza), one of the most active in South America, 2nd or 3rd after Rio and Sao Paulo, is located a few miles out of the city, but a couple of hundred meters away fromn a nuclear "station" (Centro Atómico Ezeiza).
well yeah, i speak spanish, so San Pablo is the spanish form, and elections arent over but Polls sugest that the PT's candidate is way behind... I was just trying to be general, but thanks for making me clarify it.
This seems to be mostly due to the fact that the Argentine government has decided to listen to everything the IMF tells them to do, and then do the exact opposite.
The IMF, has little or no respect in Argentina, the government is more interested in dealing with private bond holders than with them, their recommendations are read but not taken seriously. Its not that *everything* is their fault, but they have really messed up in many ways.
President Kirchner, is doing a GREAT job, he has 70-80% of popular support in polls, and the economy is expected to grow +7/8% this year.
Lula is doing ok in Brazil, although he lost San Pablo in the elections (mainly because its the richest state in Brazil, and the PT is not really supported among the higher classes), he has kept Brazil running and growing.
The INVAP, has put satellites into orbit before, it has created many nuclear reactors for Argentina, currently finishing Atucha 2, and building one in Australia.
Argentina had the technology to build the nuclear bomb as of 1982, after the fall of the military government because of the Falklands/Malvinas defeat, there hasnt been any significant nuclear developements except the Condor 1/2 projects.
The Condor 2 ballistic missile was developed along with Iraq & Egypt, more info here.
But it was cancelled (or so everyone says) because of Israeli, US Pressure, along with the UK's concern that it could easily reach the Falklands.
Reports say that it was tested over Patagonia (no province specified), and it was detected by an american satellite. In 1998 the Fuerza Area Argentina (FAA) (Air Force), reported to congress that it still had two active missiles, and the remaining had been broken down into parts and sent to various Air Bases in the country. Besides that, there isnt much information in Argentina about it, since it has a very well kept secret for many years.
Anyways, Argentina joined the Nuclear non-ploriferation treaty in the 90's thanks to our traitor president Carlos Menem. Since then Brazil has taken the lead in technological developements, with all Argentine Science/Defense developements being cancelled.
Until now, even with the crisis that hit Argentina in 2001, that spread poverty, and destroyed the economy, Argentina still remains the country with the highest GNI Per Capita of L. America (info here), now with the Argentine economy rapidly recovering, the industry & exports booming, President Nestor Kirchner, reopened ship building stations to finish 2 remaining Diesel TR-1700 Submarines, called for INVAP to develop radars for the air force (3D/4D Radars), and & to help with the creation of an AWACS plane for early 2009.
But congrats to the Brazilians anyways!. (Their previous attempt was a total failure ending in an accident that killed twenty people).
Team America: World Police, is this a joke or what?, it might be funny for the North Americans, but not for me, or any other citizen of the world.
So is the content of this movie making fun of the title or actually representing it?

Good, now send it to Europa where it can do some history making work.
Same situation in Argentina...

He got what he deserved.
He was stupid to allow himself to be caught. Lost 7 years of your life for only money.
Again everything in this world seems related to money one way or the other.
Consumers of gaming consoles buy consoles for gaming, not because it is a computer.
Even with the "extra" feature of being a computer, at the price it is, it will most probably sell very badly, if not fail.
Sorry Sony, you made a *serious* mistake. Remember that money is one of the most important things in this world, even if it comes and goes.

Has proven to be excellent in releasing security updates. For those who criticize it, heres proof.

Will it keep the same features?, what if if my iRiver gets messed up with the new firmware?, then I doubt iRiver will replace it for a new one :/
