Since the MPAA went on its rampage, finding the stuff I've personally wanted has become more difficult.
It's funny, though, that they would tear down SuprNova but somehow TorrentSearch slipped through the cracks, and so there is still some activity out there.
The big question now is whether or not exeem will be worth a damn.
You see, the music industry has been battling piracy for years. They finally found an opportunity to win a small battle, courtesy of Apple. They now have DRM's foot in the door of many homes, with people like you defending it the whole way
Wait. You're criticizing me for backing a methodology for stopping piracy? I don't care how restrictive the DRM is. I don't care what Apple does to keep up profits. Guns, my friend, are different than music. We are not, and do not intend on keeping music out of the hands of certain people (this would be counterproductive for everyone who backs DRM). In the end, hopefully this will just cut down on piracy.
Apple set up a store where you can get music quickly and painlessly at a reasonable price. Personally, I buy my CDs from local stores, and iTunes isn't really my thing, but I think that by making the music accessible as they have (the way people want it, fast fast fast, now now now), they've done a good thing.
Many people, myself included, want to be able to do what we want with the movies and music we purchase.
Let's apply this to guns, as guns are such a handy element for analogies. I just picked up an assault rifle, and damn it, I want to be able to shoot you in the face if I damn well please.
Rules generally exist for a reason. Agree with it or don't.
I hate to break it to you, but I'm not much of an Apple fan. I own a PC, I'm running Redmond's best, I don't own an iPod, and I don't use iTunes.
My feeling is, though, that they've done a great thing. What exactly? Well, they've taken the music out of the hands of corporations like WalMart (who will censor it, and then they'll sell it to me for $15), and they've made it accessible to the masses. My parents are capable of using iTunes, and that's saying a lot.
People are willing to disregard all of this because they feel entitled to be able to copy it, and share it, and do whatever they want with it -- legal or not. Granted, DRM might stifle a lot of legal activity, but whatever. You get what you pay for.
If we just switched to a secure email system (SSL/TLS, or whatever), a lot of these dumb problems would go away.
Yes, I know some mail clients don't support this functionality, but come on. Name one of the modern clients that won't do it. Thunderbird, Mail.app, Eudora, Outlook... they all know how.
I suppose then you just have to convince users. This, though, should be the easiest part:
Dear User,
This email is to notify you that your neighbor has been recieving your monthly e-bank statements and password confirmation emails because you are stubborn and insist on using insecure email protocols.
Incidentally, we'd like to thank you for your subscription to DAILY LESBIAN ACTION MAIL!!!1
If DRM upsets you that much, you can get a wav/mp3 writer plugin for your audio player and roll your own DRMless copy. If this isn't possible with your media player, I'm sure there are special drivers and tools out there (you know, like Windows Sound Recorder).
I swear, people are never satisfied. Apple is doing a great thing, but people will always find something to complain about.
If people would just keep a closer eye on their stuff, we wouldn't have to do retina scans while we put our fingers onto biometric panels and licked a strip of electrodes.
Personally, I think if you have things on your iPAQ that you want to protect so badly, then you should try a little fucking harder to take care of it.
If the routers are using the default SSID of linksys, and they're also on the default channel, chances are WEP isn't enabled.
Just connect to one of these networks, open up your browser to 192.168.1.1 (password should be 'admin'), select the tab called 'Wireless,' and uncheck 'Enable Wireless Connections.'
If you want to read the NY Times without registering, try BugMeNot. Free browser plugin (FF and IE) that lets you log into registration-based-sites without doing all that privacy-invading registration business.
If the card was purposely not supported, and the software was set up not to allow its use, the card wasn't intended to work on the Trio.
I guess pointing out that Palm has no responsablity to support this hack makes me a troll, but whatever.
I don't support lying about the capabilities of the device like Palm did, but you know what, just because someone figured out how to do something they weren't supposed to, it's absurd to say that Palm should now provide support.
You're completely correct. Nobody with a degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering would have made a grammatical error while racing to comment first to a slashdot story.
Grammar nazi.
The insistency of some companies to require a batchelors degree often leaves otherwise qualified applicants out in the cold. Google is one of these companies (from my experience browsing the job postings), which sucks for college students looking for a job. Oh well.
World Community Grid's mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Also, jtr finds passwords a lot quicker on the grid than on my old P4.
Dear AIMUser304921,
It has come to our attention that on December 12th, 2004, you had an AOL Instant Messenger conversation with AIMUser201192 about how some of your buddies have a bootleg copy of Spiderman 2. To avoid legal action, you must cease and desist communicating with anybody ever again about anything possibly illegal. That, or be ready for us to sue your pants off.
As long as I don't have to memorize three RSA keys, I don't really care how many I have to use throughout the day -- give me a usb token or give me death.
When the San Diego Registrar of Voters implemented the Diebold system, they went ahead and got rid of thousands of these little plastic voting booths we used to use. Also, the stylus voting equipment is gone -- all replaced by shiny new touchscreen voting equipment.
Come election day, half of the machines booted into Windows CE Explorer instead of the voting software... whoops
So now, the hardware is being re-certified, the old voting equipment is gone, and San Diego is using (Diebold Manufactured) optical scanners for voting on a temporary basis.
If these issues (and expenses) have been present in other counties of California, I fail to see how 2.6mil is a decent settlement. Sorry.
If the length was longer or shorter, your upper attachment point would move around at a different speed than your lower point (on the surface of Earth, presumably).
Unless you want a mobile lower-attachment (on a big boat, or something), this would probably be a problem. Even if you did have a mobile base station, I have to wonder if it would be possible to keep up -constantly-.
Granted Teoma is operated by AskJeeves, but it's hardly the same engine, but it's too bad that they left it out. I think it's one of the better searches out there -- it tops MSN's new search, easily.

I still think that corn CDs are the best idea... you'll just need to reburn every once in a while.
It only becomes a problem if you're a big nacho fan...

Yeah yeah, he built a case out of legos. A big box with holes in it is kinda anti-climactic.
Now, if he'd used 6-micron legos to build a processor....

So, if I somehow shoved a Gamecube network adapter onto my N64, Nintendo would need to provide full support for it?
I don't think so.
