Someone finally showing some responsibility and common sense in selecting what films to present. Once we burn those heathen works, all will be well. Alles en ordnung!
Now, if only we could convince the world of the obvious fact that the world is flat . . .
Get an MBA. Executroids are so-o-o-o impressed with that (probably because that's what they have).
Or, if a lobotomy isn't in your future, consider a secondary in one of the business related sciences -- business law, accounting.
Third choice -- if you plan to actually get a job when you grow up, take a course of study appropriate to the industry in which you intend to work (if that's the IT industry, well, see above about getting an MBA. Maybe they won't require a lobotomy; ECT may be enough;^).
I recommend you find a job you like. We're talking about an aggregate total of something like 60,000 hours here -- you really want to be unhappy for that long?
Of course, lining up the new job before scrapping the old job never hurts;^D
Only to report if they have reason to believe that kiddie-porn is being accessed.
Australian ISP's are not being required to look for/detect child porn. The law only codifies their moral obligation to report a crime which (for whatever reason) they have good reason to suspect has taken place.
One of those rare instances when I find myself in agreement with legislators regarding the internet.
While we're at it, we oughtta award Al Gore a patent for the internet. D'ya think he'd sue Microsoft for manufacturing a technology which induces people to use his internet? Oh, wait, the INDUCE act failed, so . ..
Hey! What're you guys doing to my network connection? HEY! That's MY computer. HEY!! Whaddya mean I have the right to remain silent? I donaaf[paqt4p3890jsdgxbc s.dfg;lserg.....
Okay, so the community I live in can't provide free wireless (a la 802.11g?). Private enterprises (such as the coffee shop I frequent, local hotels, etc.) will still provide hotspots. Wardriving is too much fun anyhow to let the community take that away. Keep the internet for the geeks who know how to get onto it -- let the rest languish in the legal quagmire of Big Corporate Legal Wrangling.
Who gets the pictures out first or more accurately is important, certainly. But . . . look at what these images (regardless of their accuracy) can do.
Granted, I doubt there's an idyllic seaside vista waiting on Titan for human visitors. The mere thought that there may be earth-like features on some distant planetary body is exciting enough IMHO to spark a greater interest in space travel.
Of course, I'd be even more excited if a trusted authority (such as NASA) were to release trustworthy images such as this. Not "that could be there", but "that is there"! Still, the raw data which is available is (presumably) trustworthy, so the images which have been produced ought to at least be indicative of the true state of affiars there.
I have two questions -- first, is an accurate photographic representation of this vista in our future? and second, what are the conditions there (temperature, atmospheric pressure and composition, windspeed, etc.)?
Does anybody here hear shades of the Millenium Digital Protection Act? (Forgive me if I've misnamed it -- I'm afraid I don't).
So far, my interpretation is that it is illegal to override/circumvent the sort of "protection" which DRM technologies provide. I can readily foresee a time when it will be illegal to use/operate an old AMD 2.2GHz/LINUX based system because it doesn't incorporate hardware DRM. What does this mean?
It means the ultimate death of the Open Source movement, for starters. Who wants to run an OS which not only is incapable of performing anything more than the most basic functions but can get you arrested and jailed to boot?
Nyet to fear, tvarisch -- will never be comink to that, eh? Have a care, friend . . . those who will not fight to defent their freedom may well find themselves without freedoms to defend.
Just ran up MS AntiSpyware, let it do a FULL scan.
Sure, it caught stuff that both AdAware and SpyBot missed, including the software which was intentionally installed by our WinAdmins to enable them to monitor our desktop usage.
Uh, I see a real problem for corporate America if end-users (I don't have Admin priv on my desktop) can install software which will nullify their ability to track and monitor desktop machines.
Still, as betas go, it's on a par with every other beta Microsoft has released for sale (Win95, Win98, WinNT, Win2K, WinXP, W2003;^). I applaude the boys from Redmond; looks like this one's a winner! Once they get the polish on it, this looks like a real boon for Windows users!
How many ms do you suppose it'll take to read the content of the ROM chips in next-gen DVD players and extract the key(s)? Even if I don't have the hardware resources to read the ROM chips, I'll bet some cracker somewhere does -- I'll just wait for him to publish to the internet. Even if the key is rendered invalid, I'll still get access to all of the media made before that point (and just have to wait for the next crack to get more content). Perhaps it's time for us to rethink the intent, meaning and form of intellectual property protection?

At this rate, 802.11aa should be available before January 2006.

I mean, after reading the link, I really want to know (inquiring minds want to know).
Remember, two things came out of Berkeley during the sixties, BSD and LSD. Coincidence? I don't think so.

"The Galileo Seven". Somebody nominate G. Roddenberry for a (posthumous) Nobel Prize in physics!
