Being paid per hour is highway robbery. I should be paid according to the value of the work I do, but not so much as the value that my employer might gain from putting various parts together. Some hours should pay more some less.
I'm not saying a contractor should get residual income from the hotel he's building, that's a separate enterprise which he has no legal claim to and should have no legal claim to.
But he should get paid more than the amount he gets to build a deck.
It's becoming impossible to get a job without losing intellectual property rights to your employer, which suggests that the only way to have such rights is to be an employer.
Well to be an employer man you gotta have money.
Cuz once you got money, all the wannabes will back you up no matter what shit you pull. If you can get away with it they figure someday they will too or they'll just invest in your little racket and profit regardless whether you ever get caught or not. If people can't control their spending, fuck it gimme every dime. Why? So I can buy a couple of public libraries, build a house on a mountain, grow a forest around it and make scary noises in the middle of the night to keep the fearful away.
Then I can go back to being a normal techie interested in learning and can keep the little brethren at arms length.
C'est la vive.

Great so it knows where I am. So I can use VNC. I've found those things pretty useful in certain situations.
The problem is you have to exit the entire building to leave "The System". Sorry, this virtual womb thing sounds fascinating and all, but like sometimes one needs to um exit, leave, depart, you know... breathe.
Course, we know why this is going to become more common. Consumers don't really want to go anywhere today. They just want less intrusion into their lives, least of all the sort of intrusion that requires them to put in some effort, which means more modern inconveniences will intrude. Imagine the shock of realizing they have no life once these inconveniences stop distracting them from the life they don't actually have.
As I always say, Big Brother is just a shadow cast by millions of little brethren.
Euro socialists will never learn. By banning association w/ Scientology you create a world in which you only have to kowtow to the media and gov't to keep your scams open.
I have yet to hear of any physical laws that counter corruption.
Let me know when you find them. Oh and look out here comes yet another civil war. Maybe you ought to clean up one thing at a time.
I made no personal attacks.
I made no arguments which would result in a staircase.
And all I said was that if anyone sues me for distributing my own work my way I will take that as a serious threat.
Given the recent Columbine rehash over in California, I expect statistically an "It's for the children" argument would draw some support from some of the paranoids still bewitched by the event.
Course I don't have any "It's for the children" arguments to support cracking for stealing purposes, nor to support any other cause.
"It's for the children" should be banned as an argument.
Now for something completely on topic:
To the guy on a certain mailing list who can't see the light about security needs, don't ever sell anything online, you'll be sorry. That's a warning not a threat.
Go read the DMCA. The purpose of the encoding doesn't come into play only the intent to hide.
This is the reason the RIAA gets away w/ shit like this, because guys like you do the arguing for them based on your preconceptions which are based onh the assumption that there's nothing sneaky going on.
You can find the DMCA book at Amazon, Iuniverse, and at Barnes and Noble.
I don't use Windows. I'm talking about GUI designers forgetting about the user and lording their "vision" over the user's head. CLI programmers have no such distractions.
I am a musician, and I am a graphic artist mostly as a hobby. However, I have found GUIs including Cakewalk to be targetted to the mainstream. Theredore they're useless to me.
Here's the problem I find all the time:
Cakewalk is great for editing, but as soon as you try notating with C Clefs or try to compose without having to scroll all over the place it's a pain. Noteworthy Composer kinda fixes this but try to do anything remotely resembling effects in Noteworthy and you'll be sorry. I compose by listening, which means I'll write a section and then have it repeat over and over until I figure out what I want to do next. There's reasons for this that I won't go into.
Then there's FruityLoops. I love it really. Great effects, etc. Until I want to write songs. Then I have to click back and forth between patterns which look like gibberish to me (oh why can't I see the notes too in the god damn pattern).
On the CLI or in a text file, I see EVERYTHING in front of me.
I use whatever tool works. However most GUIs never make it past the bare essentials for me. Afterwards it's the software authors ego everywhere, or the marketing department's vision.
No thank you. If I have time I'll write my own GUI. For the most part, I don't have time.
Why would you want to shut down a service that doesn't scale?
If I had a dime for every MP3 I tried to download over my college 100Mbit line and got either queued for hours or suddenly 50 copies of the same song in the middle of the night, I'd be buying a copy of everything I own for the bathroom too.
Command line tools are always superior to graphical tools simply because of the following:
1. Name 1 environment where a command line version of a tool is much more difficult to write than a gui version of the same tool.
Visual Basic is more difficult to use for programming to the CLI than just rolling up your sleeves, listing the functions you need, cutting and pasting and compiling.
2. Name 1 application that was written for a GUI which doesn't include a bunch of marketting gimmicks instead of useful content. Sorry but man has more information, discussion of solutions, and an accessible format than that useless paper clip.
3. Name 1 GUI app that doesn't arbitrarily limit features because the developer is too obsessed with his concept of the app and too distracted by populating the screen with icons.
Every CLI instance of any type of application that I have ever used did NOT leave out important features and did NOT force me to become a member of that developer's design religion (take a look at the recent crop of crap Palm-wannabe desktop GUIs). Leave the Palm design where it belongs. There's no religion in the CLI. You either have of a feature or you don't and if you have pieces to build a feature you need, there is nothing in the CLI preventing you from doing so.
The GUI forces me to swallow the narrow view of recent college grads who never touched a computer before they got to college. No thanks.

Typical troll brought you troll a troll about mixing up names like any old huckster troll.
Aldous Huxley wrote um Brave New World.
1984 is the work of Eric Blair aka George Orwell.

Good luck.
So I assume you can show me how to talk about something without having material on that something?
Oh and it's spelled hypocrisy as in lack of self critique rather than simple contradiction. Might apply that to yourself you know.
Ok where is the flamebait?
I made no personal attacks.
I made no arguments which would result in a staircase.
And all I said was that if anyone sues me for distributing my own work my way I will take that as a serious threat.
How can you create a larger work if by your previous statements you're not allowed to make copies?
Christ, give it up.
You used a ton of copyrighted porn to create those images yet you talk about fair use.
It's obvious you're trolling, I just hate seeing trolls on issues like this.
Statistically insignifact enough to make the RIAA 1.4Billion richer. I have serious doubts you're an artist.
I doubt this guy ignores his email.
And you expect me to wait until you're right up to my face before I choose to defend myself?
Get a fucking account.
I wanna rant. I wanna call my rant Unforgiven - Metallica - Lars Get a clue.mp3.
I name it so people will find it. No point naming it so people won't find it!
So first I want to get it out to friends and others who will continue to fight on my behalf. Then I do the "initial" release.

What's your point?

unceasingly identical text?
What are you smoking?
FruityLoops patterns are just as unceasingly identical to me if I don't see the notes.
HAHAH

Nah you just create Floozy processor that requires an 8 stage decoder and uses 8 bit registers.
Pay for the modem, pay for the multiplexer, pay for local service DSL, and then connect to your friends without actual mainstream internet access.
No changes to binary code at all.
Red Carpet is modeled after debian. And it's a front end. In fact I'd wager it's much easier to maintain the debian release of Red Carpet.
