I agree... but at the same time... porn is so prevalent on the internet and usenet... I'd estimate that at least half to 75% of data transferred on the internet is porn.
Why the fuck don't they just get their own dedicated network? The Pornonet! Instead of just.xxx, they'd have.sex,.pov,.amr,.anl,.gog,.tit,.blk,.gzo,.pie,.tee,.gay,.orl,.mlf,.bi,.bln,.cum,.deb,.dom,.lez,.nat,.pee, etc.
Linux is a hot bitch... and periodically completely fucked. Let us all remember, Linux is for users that hate Windows, OS X is for users that love UNIX.
It's not exactly electrical, is it? Electro-chemical, then?
Electricity travels at the speed of light (say, in a vacuum), ~300,000 m/s... so if the brain is electrical, why is it that the "speed of thought" (ianan, so whatever this is really called, speed of nerve impulses or something) is so much slower at (correct this please) ~ 10 m/s? I mean, you'd expect it to be slower, but 30,000 times slower? Is the brain a poor electrical conductor? Does the brain make any sounds? What's the dillio on that, Doc?
But not everyone with a computer is doing photo restoration, illustration, or graphics work or whatever. I'll bet anything, in that space, Adobe is the front runner now and for the forseeable future. If Microsoft has a near monopoly in what they do, Adobe has the same, near monopoly, in what they do (these days).
I believe settlements have been in the range of $2,000 - $3,500.
whoa... smallest settlement I heard was $30K. Why are some of the suits like, "RIAA sues Mom for $150K, then sues daughter!" (yes, I just read headlines, rarely read TFA)??
Anyway, showing them how mature 'we' are isn't the point. But, of course you are right, my suggestions would be pretty irresponsible. Then again... fuck 'em. If anyone deserves to have their identity stolen, its bazillionaires that have exploited others to make their fortunes.
Adobe is the new Microsoft, you nimrods. The qualities of Microsoft do not apply to Apple, but DO apply to Adobe.
Compare the differences between Win2k & XP... How much better is it? Not at all, really? But they charged for the upgrade. They pretty much released the same software in different packages, and no one complained. Now compare Adobe CS1 & CS2. Big expensive upgrade -- that didn't upgrade anything (really).
Apple doesn't flood the market with inferior product because it knows it will still make a profit and shut down the smaller guy.
Point is, they might shut down the smaller guy, bully or walk all over them, but their products, if anything, are hardly inferior defective knock offs of previosly released products.
Isn't it simply academic for a good social engineer to get a list of names of all the RIAA 'people,'-- all the RIAA policy makers, decision makers, and lawyers, etc.? And wouldn't that pretty much be, for a good hacker, a few hundred hot pockets away from getting all their identity info? And then maybe from that point, just a few candy bars away from transferring all their money into a Belize/. account?
The only reason the RIAA is scary is because of the money they have, and the money they will take from you (destroying your life in the process). Take that away, and they're not so scary.
Short of taking their money, we should at least know who they are, a face to the fascism, you know? Once they are publicly identified, will they really be so bold taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from regular low-middle income folks?
OK... back to reality. In America, money always wins; money before rights; money before justice; godmoney, just tell me what you want me to
you nailed it. I'm not good at my IT job because I am über meticulous. I'm good at it, and my users CAN trust me, because I really don't give 2 shits about what anyone is doing, and it shows. To drive the point home, that I don't give 2 shits, I make sure to come in late, and not get too much done. If I was too ambitious, I'd never have time for the inevitable call at a quarter to end of business about how some users laptop has been broke all week, and though they forgot to mention it until now, they really need if fixed because they're flying out at 8.
There are 10 types of IT specialists... one is a Microsoft geek, one is a UNIX guru. The UNIX gurus are usually older, but so much cooler and more laid back. Microsoft geeks, however, are cool in their own way, too: nothing gets to them... the floor could fall out from under them, they'd fall... get up, dust themselves off... look up and say... "well, there goes lunch" and find a workaround.
Whenever someone decides productivity is down, the first thing to go is creativity (by way of blaming the late people).
If you ask me, its YOUTH that is more likely to sabotage, and beyond that, it is the uptight, and on time, folks that are wrapped/strung so taught that when they pop off, its no surprise.
Exactly. I think this is key in understand what's happened here -- that the attack doesn't make sense, either for testing or otherwise. Maybe the origins of the attack are extra-terrestrial (in the form of a malicious but idiotic A.I.) Rogue botnet? Skynet Jr Jr?
Exactly. Can North Korea be any more evil? Growing the cutest rabbit stock in quantities never seen even in nature --and then eating it-- is a really good effort, at least from a PR standpoint.
Not everything that runs OS X is a Mac. However, unless the machine is a Mac, licensing prevents legally running OS X on it. Apple is not breaking their own licensing agreements. The iPhone is a Macintosh computer.
Everyone is now taking for granted that Ep. I-III suck, and that this its Lucas' fault. I sorta don't feel they were as bad as everyone says (but still not as good as Ep. IV-VI), and I don't see it as Lucas fault at all that they aren't as good, but the fault of all of our (sw fans) counterparts that actually weaseled their way in to being a part of the production of Ep. I-III. Lucas was bombarded with all these ass kissing idiots that just want to be a part of it, and then they end up giving advice in such fouce and quantities that the artist actually lost some minor perspective, and made a few judgment errors that cost Ep. I-III its expected status in the annals of great sci fi movies. Give him a break, will you? If only the studio had seen it coming, and surreptitiously created strife and stress for Lucas, just like what he had when he was making Ep. IV, impossible time constraints, and imposed budget "issues," etc., such that Lucas would have turned into the working director's equivalent of a raving lunatic, and thus preventing any of the ass-kissing moron fans working on the project from opening their pathetic mouths for fear of being fired.
That doesn't mean that you have to upgrade from XP Vista... But we can expect M$ to force the upgrade by breaking previous versions of the OS (eventually).
IANAD but... Diabetes occurs for two reasons... either the production of insulin is screwed up... or the absorbtion of insulin is screwed up... 2 totally different things... this "cure" appears only to address the former (50% complete is not "near complete").
biologically oriented geeks, a little help please?
they're demonizing the word 'hacker,' why can't they just use 'black hats' or 'cybermafia' or something?

40 Years of Ultraman

I used to watch it... hmm... between say 1975 and 1977... when I was a wee lad, 4-6 yrs... and I used to "play" Ultraman... my Dad's HiFi had a Sony R2R deck that came with this heavy Sony microphone... and it was the perfect beta capsule.... bebebebebebebebebebe! Its messed up... but, yeah, I really really cared about it, and for the life of me, I dunno why...
Close... it wasn't Tesla's choice, there was no way to regulate it. The industrialists/governments that considered his Tesla sphere plan (Tesla maintained that 4 giant tesla speres could power everything on the planet wirelessly) realized that it couldn't be regulated, and thus, not so much that it would have to be, yes, free, but that there was no way to charge people for it. So they went with Edison.
What really annoys me is that women seem to marry ANY man that knocks them up. Don't blame your job... it really is your wife's fault for marrying you. And don't try to be those Dad's that put the child first. This is a thin veil hiding the fact that you just want to keep bugging the child's mother. Of course you love your child, but, I think, what young men are fucking up is that the MOTHER comes first. The way it works well is that the Father stays cold, unemotional, and distant to the child, pressing discipline when necessary, and showing true feelings once in a blue moon towards the child, but always always catering to the mother... because if you have a wife, you can always have more children, but with just a child, you can't neither make a mother nor more children. Let her put the child first... you put her first, even in divorce. The right thing isn't always the easy thing.
Probably because the Windows Mobile platform works about as well as the Windows platform. That is to say, not at all well. OK, lets call a spade a spade, its shit.
