You must think only physical attacks have a profound effect.
Exploding the Earth would guarantee Bush would not be re-elected so I'm really not that worried.
Seriously, though, I'm more worried that some cave dwelling foul-smelling individual will blow up an observatory in protest encouraging all the other cave-dwelling foul-smelling individuals to blow whatever it is they think is destroying the society they are not even members of.
If someone crushed your opportunity to experience independence and freedom of having everything in your power to live as you choose as in having a business, you'd feel raped.
Libraries have books on the Net. My college has a deal with Safari. I can easily copy those books using wget and some fancy scripting.
Or failing that, libraries have magazines of multiple articles analogous to several CDs of multiple songs. It isn't that difficult to photocopy a magazine.
If people know of flaws, then why would they continue to use a product?
Second, when a product has a vulnerability, it opens the possibility of that computer being used maliciously. Telling the world not to use a certain product is self-defense.
Now what would be cool is to find away to watermark code to see that it was used for nefarious purposes making it easy to track the perps.
You need to convince M$ to keep making X-boxes then buy just above the threshold where M$ might stop making them, and keep bringing the price down.
And for you brave ones keep buying them and selling them at a loss on ebay. Don't worry that you're losing money meaning that M$ isn't losing as much in comprison to you, M$ will always have more money than you, this for the principle of not letting 800 lb gorrillas stink up the market.
I always thought it was just an annoying phrase we were having drilled into our heads, but now we now the guy really has problems with Verizon service.
... I'm guessing some will be moving there soon. I'd rather have 1/3 or 1/4 pay for 1/6 the cost of living that 0/100 job at 1/1 pay for 1/1 the cost of living.
We just need to outsorce the gov't so we can keep our Constitution.
Thank you gentlemen. I haven't seen a flurry of useful responses in YEARS.
What remains is... destroying money as a currency and basing our economy on bandwidth and then suing the Fed for wasting bandwidth explaining how they're not what they are. I would call that a bandwidth audit.
The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects.
but we can change it if we donate some elbow grease.
The vagueness of the DMCA is so Britain's style. A judge schooled in the technology sector but with a greedy wallet can screw anyone in Britain. You have to be an idiot to interpret the DMCA as being benign and untainted and even then you can recover via appeal and selective propaganda to those who matter. You don't have to wait for the will of the people to catch up to technology, like you might as well have to in Britain.
I don't care if Joe Blow thinks sampling is copyright infringement, all I have to do is convince the judge through argument. Lovely thing is that the law makes it possible for me to force the judge's hand regardless what he/she thinks should be the "right thing to do".
Everyone is equal (depending on IQ) the judge, the plaintiff, the jury, and the defendant in the US.
The US and Britain are at extremes. In Britain the law is constantly "updated and refreshed" because the judge can decide whether some section applies or not. This makes a fearful society extremely dangerous because society is paranoid of its own citizens whenever it is paranoid without having to hunt the convenient piece of legislation. Makes it hard to gauge whether a decision maker is overly biased. A dangerous decision made by a dangerous man can easily seem local and isolated.
In the US laws are hardly ever refreshed and updated or for that matter thrown out. This makes a fearful society somewhat dangerous, because only a very fearful society would dig through all that code to find that old junk which was encoded when society was highly fearful as a standard. The amount of time someone like Bush spend yapping about it to the public to try to convince people betrays his bias and it's a signal clear as daylight that people need to be worried.
What is available in the US is a middle ground where there is a process to edit the code of law, but it is hardly ever used because people (US, UK, and pretty much anywhere else) normally don't think they can change the world around them.
The will of the people at the most common instance is total lack of will. I'd hate to be at the mercy (or lack) of the will of those people.
You know when I try to use an MP3 CD in my car stereo it never works so we'll just ignore that. But when I do play normal CDs I hardly remember any skips. Nevermind that I barely ever use the CD player in the car stereo. On the other hand on my laptop I play MP3 CDs all the time and quite a few of those skip like crazy. That DVD/MP3/CD/Video CD capable laptop is worthless for media compared to the car stereo. Thanks for helping switch my habits.
Let's ignore the fact that a percentage measurement with accounting for different kinds of failure possible and looking at the number of actual tactics used would be the only way to do a complete study. It's like damaged CDs caused by not 1 but 3 kids who scratch, wet, or dirty the discs every minute of the day might make my laptop player look inferior to the car one.
Look buddy, it's your server. Go ahead. Put Windows on it if you're so convinced.
In other words, Britain is too lazy to actually put together concrete legal machinery which through the interaction of laws among themselves can reliably produce a consistent interpretation highly resistant to the whims and prejudices of whoever happens to be making decisions.
Law is necessarily a precise science not an art to wield creatively.

Really.

Not going to jail, but being crushed by M$ is close enough to being violated.

What kind of design flaws could it possibly have that the swap doesn't get fixed sfter reboot?

You mean like unix sockets?
shake it up and to get a feature to work. I do that with any malfunctioning handheld device.
Jobs are not a commodity.

Wait, does Pakistan like the U.S.?
Users would be the new developers,
Oh, wait...

the scary part is that attempting to cause 50/50 H/T has nothing to do with fixing the bias in same as starting side/diff from starting side.

Who owns the Federal Reserve?
The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects.
In the UK the justice itself is in danger of being a mockery of justice. Wait, 2600 Kaplan DMCA, nevermind.
I'd be willing to move to a country where the story behind "In the name of the Father" is likely to occur.
Everyone has a dummies guide hackers just have it in their heads because of a little more confidence than others.
Hackers get upset when the hack-a-bees want to skip the part that hackers did during their early childhood.
I meant that it can't be just a bunch of independent quick fix rules to be interpreted at runtime. They should be interpreted at compile time.
but we can change it if we donate some elbow grease.

In Britain it's basically all up to the judge.

The will of the people needs to bow down to the law or get its ass off the bench and change the law if they want it to reflect their opinion.
