In this case, the only hiding place left is the first layer of the OSI model. I can't believe no one thinks of that. When you find the final receiving/originating server go to the physical location and either investigate log ins from there or find the culprit sitting on his ass. Recidivism is a concern, so old fashioned arrest is out of the question, especially if it's a foreign country. 3 letter agencies just eat more tax dollars, which leaves us with hoodlums to disappear,the problem/black hat. Hoodlums drive their business, so hoodlums can close their business. It would just be a "move", "business". How much would a person or group or business entity be willing to pay to delete black hats? There would be overhead costs of course, hiring a "white hat" to do the digital work and travel expenses for the physical business meeting.
It may not totally eliminate the problem, but I'm betting it could drop activity a good 90% once a few disappear and word starts going around. Leave the hoodlum work to hoodlums and quit relying on some money gobbling geek corporation or government clowns to do the job right and actually get it done. It's a first layer problem.
This brings the question of the legality of selling others information. Say perhaps you come across some proprietary information or company business or even personal information of Google or anyone else for that matter. When I was a collector for an entity that provided short term, high interest loans we used to call that insuran...er.. extortion, of course this only lacks the extra "incentives" . The better the information, the higher the price. The concept kinda tickles me. It wouldn't be possible to loan Apple any money, but could you imagine offering NOT to sell information/ conceptual hardware(that you found in a bar) for a price and have it be LEGAL? Hey, what's good for the corporation is good for the people. I like a level playing field.
Buying darts at a county fair stall with the impression that you will win the " big teddy bear" is a sucker bet as well. By your definition, entertainment could be sticking a fork in an electric socket. It is an idiot tax in that it is a state sponsored collection of money from those too stupid to do the math, nothing general about that, pretty specific. Sticking a fork in an electric socket will be a " sure thing" every time and takes no more brains than buying a lottery ticket.
If you are really entertained by tossing away random amounts of money as an "entertaining habit" go give it to the guy with the "will work for food " sign at the off ramp. You can feel good about helping someone unfortunate and he can get as much alcohol/meth as his body can tolerate. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, help the state or help a derelict. It's the idiots way of contributing to society.
But, if I paste the fingerprint on a shaved section of a little dogs ass, then, not only have I hacked my way in, I have MADE everyone using the lock after me, touch a little dogs ass. Filthy technology, go wash your hands.
On/. I have the expectation that a certain percentage are cognizant enough to " get it" without paragraphs of explanations and an outline, in order to resonate. This is my target audience for discussion.
Decisions betray the belief that in spite of astronomical odds the ticket will be the one to send them to retirement and riches, every day/ week, for months, years, decades. It is a self imposed tax for irrational belief, sponsored by the state who profits. Ergo, it is an idiot tax. Affordability only enhances misjudgment of reward for a a more lurid picture. I'm not against the lottery either, it offsets the tax burden for those smart enough not to participate.
Doctors practice in spite of knowing their limitations, ignorance and lack of a solution. Pride, money, megalomania will drive one to play the odds for a cure even if it kills or maims the patient. Knowing that insurance , lawyers and pharmaceutical companies stand behind them emboldens them. Sometimes doctors kill outright, the old man whose lungs keep filling with no strength to keep fighting, the anorexic whose electrolytes are so low she suffers a heart attack , is revived and has another and another and another until there is just no point. They just leave them in a room in a far wing to "let them rest". Sometimes the doctor is a researcher, paid for specific results by their benefactor who has more care for HIS product that will save the world and blah blah blah. Either innocent or corrupt, doctors do indeed kill.
I only explain myself, I'm not debating my beliefs.
Nope, just the things that came to mind in the time of the post. Others realize police are easily corruptible while the dronesong hums the virtues of heroes, some know the media to be mostly propaganda and crap for political or corporate interests, others were told it was the information to guide their decisions by, day to day and you know what? They're happy with that.
I find that most peoples lives are so busy and complex that they just don't have the will or strength to see anything bad about the world around them, let alone adjust their lives to it. Perfectly willing to drag everyone down with them as well, by not facing the problems and responding accordingly. Drones.
On the other hand, they are perfectly willing to let go of their assets, like the ability to carry a weapon and protect oneself and those around them in a world where the protection of donut eaters is 10 minutes away at the very best. " They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety". --Benjamin Franklin So, if I alienate these drones, my life is enriched. This isn't a popularity contest, this is separating the wheat from the chaff, losing excess fat,calling black; black and white; white. If it turns that drones are a majority, then the pessimists were right, if it turns the educated are a majority, the optimists were right. Cutting that which doesn't work out of your life only enriches it.
Gosh I'm sorry if I insulted any drones out there,but that's o.k, they'll just keep grazing till loaded on the truck.
Well, most NASCAR racers can't afford an engine, but they do their darned best to bring you entertainment. Before the race, straws are drawn and the short straw gets a nice heavy duty Cummins tractor engine. Straws are drawn again for position and the pit crews start attaching a chain from the engine car to those behind them. The flag drops and the cars roar off like a big choo choo train. The accident happened because a weak link in the chain broke causing a sudden loss of torque and surprising the driver who was busy texting a pit bunny . This caused the crash and a delay of race as the pit crew rushed to bolt the chain back together and finish the race. Fans are encouraged to send donations to NASCAR Chain to keep this proud U.S. tradition advertising the finest makers of autos and auto accessories, t-shirts, toys and beer.
But what if we want to share the accomplishments of Farmville with our friends and family in realtime? This could rival the wheel or fire as useful to mankind.
Meanwhile, the people are educated by the people who are vastly not fooled. Unfortunately, these are the same people who also know the corruption of government, the lies of the media, that taxes buy votes, that marijuana is safe,that guns don't kill people, that doctors do kill people, the lottery is an idiot tax, the war is over corporate interests, black is not white, etc...
But , it just doesn't matter, because the government will always tip to those who fill their individual retirement funds and promote their continued office.
Tired of voting Repubmocrat tyranny yet or do we vote for business as usual next time? Are you one of the educated or just another drone that is part of the problem?
Microcrud already said their console wouldn't play used games or borrowed games. This is another fine example of the tech industry learning from the mistakes of Microsoft.
Microsoft hating piracy lovers have a long history. Bill Gates built an old kit computer and made a punch card input operating system for it. He sold punchchards mail order to others who in turn made their friends punchcards for their hobby computers. Bill was livid and this whole thing took off even before he bought DOS , let alone Windows. This was the first shot fired in the war of intangible imaginary property rights as far as we're concerned.

The Music industry is just dying and convulsing and emitting death rattles. Nothing to see here, music will not be harmed in any way. Just step aside and let it drop so musicians can thrive and prosper for a change. Free music & paid performance is the future of music. Music written for commission is the only feasible paid music writing without performance. The future holds a lot of promise for the musician and the listeners. Not so much for a contemptible criminal industry that highjacked a lot of money and lives for more than a century now. Bad business models won't live no matter how much legislation you pay for. Feels kinda like " Pepperland" after the Blue Meanies are dispersed.
Yeah it sounds like one of those cases where the attention whore can "want a kill switch" in one hand and " shit" in the other hand, then observe which hand fills first. His constituents should be outraged and demand he be drug tested immediately.
Because @ $ 15 hr similar job descriptions still own a mortgage, a car loan and 2.3 kids while paying the utilities and feeding. For this part of the country that sample wage comparative of the union wage is fine. Wanna pay less @ the checkout stand? Think of how many union wages you've paid for a chain from raw materials,shipping,inspecting,approving,receiving,facilitating,assembly,packaging,shipping,receiving,stocking,and even bagging your purchase. Paying twice as many wages for your purchase, because the overhead gets passed on to the consumer, not the stockholder,not the owner. Not bad for a guy w the same S.S., state and federal taxes withheld, just like everyone. Of course now the union jobs are disappearing, people have left the city and those that haven't clamber for what's left that doesn't rely on the aircraft industry. Unfortunately having "aircraft" on your resume is death for finding other jobs locally. They just assume you'll find another aircraft job and leave them holding the bag on the time they spent training you. Our many pawnshops are fat with the booty of excesses bought under the false security of Unions and Corporations having a handshake. I may write kinda apocalyptically with a little bitterness, but I've watched this situation go from a thriving fun place to live to a dog eat dog pit over the last quarter century. From when I got here to now I've seen a change of white to black. I just want to retire and leave. They say " you can't go home again". I would append that" home doesn't stay around long."
I remember you couldn't run linear amplifiers on C.B. radios either. But, loads did anyway and nothing ever happened. I don't know about the world of shortwave, but I bet they have some FCC tales to tell. Anyone?..
I agree, I live in an industrial city where Boeing used to build jets. The unions struck and demanded and struck and demanded until it was cost effective to move all the jobs out of state. Now all the little UAW sissies are crying and trying to hold whatever aircraft jobs they can from the other companies( who are also downsizing and moving away for the same reasons). Yeah, it must be nice to be paid $30 hr (fantastic wages for the cost of living around here) to do a job that commonly pays half that for non union, for as long as it lasts anyway. I guess they don't mind the transient lifestyle of moving city to city. People just don't get it, especially when they're drawing pay like they do, until it's too late, then most still don't get it.
Sounds more like he got tired of paying for 8 hours and getting 3. Overhead costs of maintaining a factory load of Bohemian lifestyles adds far too cost to the product to reasonably expect the consumer to make up and stay competitive. Unions; raising the costs of goods and services unnecessarily. Wanna cure inflation? Delete Unions from the planet and don't give me some fairy tale crap about working conditions and ethics. This is 2013, Ford isn't running the show.
I mostly agree, but find swinging a long barrel around an indoor area cumbersome. I think this assault weapons ban will put conveniently sized shotguns out of reach. I never got around to getting an 870.
