If anyone here thinks that the Fool will harm the **AA's business, think again. The Fool is only telling us what is happening. In a family gathering of more than 25 people for present opening ceremonies this year, I watched quite gleefully to find that only ONE CD or DVD had been purchased. ONLY ONE! There were cameras, books, clothes, presents galore... but only ONE lonely little DVD.
My in-laws really don't care about the **AA and their ways, CDs and DVDs are JUST TOO EXPENSIVE. Never mind the lawsuits, their crap products are priced way out of order.
I'll probably get modded as troll for this, but there is a great desire on much of this planet to ignore anything that is not written down in one of the 'good books'. Unfortunately, Mars was left out of that garden of eden scene... probably still somewhere on the cutting room floor of the FSM's dark room.
Needless to say, in North America, it is always surprising to find something that is not explained explicitly in one of the good books, even though god supposedly made everything. The possibility that there might be signs of life on Mars, outside the realms of this singular haven of life god created on Earth, is something that people want to forget very quickly. Besides that, what does ice on Mars have do with paying the rising interest rates of your ARM?
I for one welcome our solar system neighbors and their CO2 eating ways. Perhaps then we can all stop with the fighting about who has the one and true understanding of god on this planet.
Besides that, I simply cannot wait for the ID explanation of life on Mars. I can see that wing in the Creation Museum.
Your inference that there has been intellectual evolution is rather disturbing, one look at US politics should tell you that not much intelligence evolution has really occurred. It might do to remind you that after the invention of the modern day food can, it took almost 50 years to invent the fscking can-opener.
There are a million things I could give as an example, but think about this, if you did not have modern tools, eating would still be a big part of your daily activity, or trying to eat. I think that early man was probably very intelligent also, just didn't have all the mod-cons that we enjoy today. Without electricity, there is little reason to invent a sit-com, and without petroleum, little reason to invent NASCAR. Technology is a progressive linear-like process, it did not simply happen one day. Intelligence, laboring under the burden of little technology, will seem as though it is less than what we have today. All that we really have today is more KNOWLEDGE, not more intelligence.
I have not done a lot of things yet in life, and receiving a C&D letter is one of them. What do/.-ers think is my 'best' chance of getting one from BestBuy?
1 - YouTube channel? 2 - BestChance.com website? 3 - changing my middle name to bestbuy? 4 - suing bestbuy for discrimination, on the basis that I didn't get a C&D leter? 5 - Setting up a store in SecondLife called BestBye? Giving away uniforms for other SL stores? 6 - Call the secret whitehouse telephone line, claiming to be the bestbuy ceo? 7 - Getting GreenPeach to name a whale 'best buy' 8 - Setup a reddit account under the name bEsTbUy, and only submit stories on best buy? 9 - Number nine left out because the writers are on strike 10 - buy 300 hours of blimp advertising, with sign that looks like the best buy sign, but done in crayon and written upside down?
encryption is probably low on the list of security concerns here... just WOW
I absolutely know that I don't want to hear the story of how those four words got used in the same sentence until happy hour is nearly over.
Those 4 words should never be needed in the same sentence. Process is just as important as encryption. That should have been 'backup tape', security company, armored transport, iron mountain in the sentence... oh wait, then there would be no story.
If I had mod points I'd give you one for bringing a vim vs. emacs flame war to a library discussion. Here I was, content to sip coffee and ponder the pure horror of an ungodly 3500 books in someone's house.... when BAM, right in front of me is an editor flame war troll. Thanks for that.
BTW, what's wrong with emacs? If your (ahem) librarian wants to use ebonics, does it matter? As long as she can bring you the book when you demand it, no big deal.
if you want to boycott, but not do without... there is another way. We used to call it the sneaker net, or floppy net. If you and 10 of your best friends compile a list of CDs you'd like to buy... then each of you buy one of them and 9 blank CDs, then pass out the ripped copies of that CD, you will each get a copy for 1/10th of the cost of the original. Now, there is no online record of this 'sharing' amongst friends. Nor is there any record of your 9 backup copies.
I suggest that you do this with all CDs from **AA backed artists. If you have more than 10 friends, great! Remember, if you get too big, there is more evidence of your backup process, and that is not so good.
No court can handle the workload if such backup processes were to be prosecuted under the DMCA. Not only that, but the police can't possibly afford to try to enforce it... and likely that they would not want to anyway. It is the type of infringement that is simply too costly for anyone to prosecute. That is the type of boycott that would allow you to "do something" yet not do without.
HINT: One CD worth of MP3's fits rather nicely on a cheap 1Gb thumb drive.
Let the bastards fight that... they'll learn.
In case you are still wondering, yes, I'm suggesting you do exactly the things that the **AA is saying cost them so much money now. what good is a boycott if it does not hurt the corporation that you are boycotting? Simply STOP buying their products. Well, drop their revenues by 90% anyway. Take away their funds to fight in court. I know that is perhaps not realistic, but it is a method that will work if enough people do it.
Since that would involve tons of people, and physical media, not online records, investigating it would cost billions in manpower resources. Well, okay, lots of money. The point is that it removes both their revenue AND their ability to track your use of their product. Simple enough... now all you need to do is find 10 friends.:))
someone tell me that these will NOT be manufactured by Sony!
Exploding cellphones are only funny on "Will it blend" and MythBusters.
I have no way to describe what exploding implants would be like... but I can see a whole new level of airport security coming. The stunt with the shoes was.. well, odd. I don't know how the script will read for the terrorist who goes to the bathroom in first class and triggers his kidney?
oh, and the really really bad sequel to 'Snakes on a Plane' is obviously on the way...
Go buy one, and build something that has five motors in it..... That price tag is the entry fee, not the cost of a final robotic creation that has five motors in it.
There is a lack of communication because MS wants it to be a complete surprise that they are rewriting IE to be exactly like FF. Can you imagine it? FF in an IE tab? Perhaps a GreaseMonkey API to import scripts directly, and best of all, a IE BSOD when trying to load an IIS page?
PRICE... lets give an example with something we can all relate to (except for the two girls who read/.) Lego. Even the older Lego is going to set you back $20 USD for a motor. 5 motors in a robot invention =~ $100 USD. For accurate and simplified control, it is likely that some kind of R/C hobby servo, or a derivative at cheaper cost is used. The price of that does not drop sharply over time due to volume purchases. A digital servo would double the costs roughly per motor. The parts to make cute little animal robots are NOT cheap, and I'm only talking about low end parts here. It amuses me at times to think that I have some simplistic robots at home (made of Lego) that if bought piece by piece, would cost on the order of about $450 ~ $500.
If you ask any robotics hobbyist, $350 USD for a completed and programmed robot.. well, that's a good price. I don't see the price point dropping much if you are going to have a really functional robotic toy thingy animal friend.
Warning: Some (well all) robotics hobbyists will value the store bought robotic toy on how useful it is once they get it home and disassemble it to use in their own creations. If it is a veritable horn of plenty of usable sensors and parts... yeah $350 is a great price. You may have to guide their scope on value in the conversation.
I am inclined to believe that you are right. But there is another clear winner here. Google supports the F/OSS paradigm in ways that are not overtly apparent. By mild manipulation of the marketplace for the benefit of the Google platform, they have begun the destruction of all that came before. There is NO carrier or phone manufacturer that is currently prepared to deal with F/OSS competitors. I repeat; There is NO carrier or phone manufacturer that is prepared to compete with F/OSS competitors. This will have far reaching implications across the telecommunications industry. 1 - Open handsets means no more lock-in (revenue loss for carriers) and handsets become cheaper.
2 - No lock-in reduces wireless carriers to common carrier status, effectively, allowing for wider provision of wireless data services... AND.... advertising based services.
3 - Carriers will be looking to replace lost revenues as airtime is further comoditized. This may come as a form of wireless broadband access, driving carriers further into the digital networks services arena. Read this as getting the new Razor 3000ip Yahoo! service from Verizon, or perhaps the NoDRM Earthlink Freedom plan with a Nokia handset from AT&T. Or even the 12Gauge ESPN Sports plan from Sprint, with free ESPN handset.
4 - Enhanced choices will instigate further A&M in telecommunications as they fight to get customers on the quadracular or pentacular service plans. The entire thing based on selling ad clients air time on your cell, home phone, television, radio, home entertainment, fridge, car entertainment, and perhaps even your dogs remote finger collar service. While Verizon has a head start with tons of bandwidth to the house to provision all those services, the others are soon to follow. For more information on this, find stories in the way back machine about dark fiber being bought up.
5 - If legislation in North America allows joe bloggs to build and sell handsets, the number of wireless applications could possibly explode, but that greatly depends on UI and functionality. Not something that current clamshell handsets are very good at.
Either way, it looks like the real winner will be the consumer... Thank you Google
Can we PLEASE get a new set of icons? One with a foot and a gun please.
There simply are no words to describe the incredulity that I feel after reading just the summary. The people in Redmond must be high. You have to wonder what the folks developing WinCE are thinking about this. I know that you can cut Windows down to a minimal set of functions and resource usage, but that is just messed up.
You would think they have enough to worry about just trying to get Vista installed on 300,000 machines and off of the worst products of 2007 lists. I guess, if you are going to be on that list, might as well dominate the list.
Calling "protection of content from theft" the MPAA's number one issue, Glickman reiterated claims that piracy costs the studios $6 billion worldwide every year. Half the MPAA budget goes toward reducing this number, and the trade group believes that the single best way to do so is through technology. How big is the MPAA budget? Anything close to 12Billion? 6 billion dollars - MPAA budge == ??? profit?
"Technology will be the key to determine how successful we will become," Glickman said. Successful at what? I would have thought shareholder value would be that key? Has anyone else ever wondered how independent films, and their more recent popularity has hurt the MPAA and its members? It's a wonder he did not mention free indy films distributed by BT.
But "technology" in isolation won't do much to help the movie business. The MPAA needs the support of those companies best in a position to implement filtering technology: ISPs. Acknowledging that the studios have often been "in tension with" the ISP community, Glickman claimed that the two groups have a much better relationship these days.
Does this mean they are admitting defeat? If only sniffing packets as they enter and leave your NIC can squelch the flow of illegal downloads, haven't they lost? Why not send an MPAA rep to your house to live in your spare bedroom so they can truly monitor what you are doing online? I'm absolutely certain that no one else would ever get that monitoring data or use it for nefarious purposes, now would they? Is the **AA funded by the NSA? WTF
Seriously, if it were not for the preconditioning that Bush and co. did with the NSA and DHS, I think wallstreet boys would be dumping **AA stock like it was anthrax about now. This article is tantamount to saying "we have a dead business plan, and we NEED help to stay in business. We probably won't be able to stay in business over the next 10 years unless the government forces ISP's to bail our sorry asses out of this sling called The Internet because we can't produce anything that people like, and all our competitors are killing us with good content"
Repeat after me, "innovate or die... innovate or die... innovate or die"
Can we all pitch in and buy a buggy whip to send to this guy?
Someone has the nerve to complain about the scientific quality of information found on YouTube??? WTF All I can say is these people haven't been watching much of anything from Hollywood or from mainstream news media. Here, again, we have the opportunity to show that teaching and guidance are required for just about EVERYTHING in life, and that includes what to believe of what you hear/read/and see. Check your source, get a second opinion, buyer beware, you get what you pay for. Seems like all that crazy old s**T that grandpa used to say might have some truth to it? hmmm
I'm willing to bet that at least one of these concerned researchers went to a school where he was told that masturbation will make him crosseyed or make him go blind. Misinformation has been around since the advent of spoken language, and possibly before. It was only relatively recently that we all agreed (well most of us) that the earth is round.
It is not medical information that needs to be filterd, or the fscking Internet... we need to teach people how to get through life without falling prey to every scam and rumor that falls into their world. I remember recently the many people who recommended Chantix to me to help me stop smoking... Guess what Mr smart research scientists.. they were doctors and experts, and I had no reason to not believe them till people started having psychotic episodes and killing themselves.
Lets all just sing in 3 part harmony about the evils of not educating your kids, the public, your friends, and the world in general. The problem is not that there is misleading information out there, the problem is that people are so willing to be mislead.
While we are on subject... ehh, people who are willing to be mislead are also willing to believe that the government's "need" to encroach on their rights is necessary. An EDUCATED public is a strong one, but that is hardly what big business and big government want.
Educate people in general, not on just one little danger. Teach a man to fish..... nuff said
