I dunno... You'd think if they would deny Russia entry to the WTO... It would be... I duno... Say... Their support of Iran's nuclear program and their threat to veto any resolution against them?
Although, maybe pirated MP3s are much more of an existensial threat than nuclear weapons.
5) Slashdot sucks, because most people here don't see the immorality of file sharing, and don't see that incredibly expensive shows like 24 and Lost WON'T EXIST if they can't make money. We might actually be seeing the fall of good video programming. It may not exist in 10 years, except for amateur junk.
You were pretty good up to this point...
And I must say I support file sharing exactly for this reason.
I want mass media to die an ugly death!
Lost to me (although better than most other crap they put on television) still represents what makes me ill about television. Maybe I'm just bitter over "Enteprise's" failure or the cancelation of "Firefly" but I am disgusted by most cookie cutter music and lame stories that make no sense and waste millions of dollars to make movies and TV shows that are unoriginal and could be made by an ad lib script.
The only thing I bother today is Adult Swim on Cartoon network because of the imported Anime... Heck... My movie collection is nothing but foreign films because some reason... When you don't have kiss butt to a hollywood director and fix script problems with CGI and million dollar actors... You are forced to make entertainment the hard way. (Which is why I love fan fics remakes of star trek).
If these moguls lost quit making emo boy bands and crap movies... The world would be a better place.
If no one made money from art, then only true artists would make art... Plain and simple. Of course they'd be starving and need patrons like they did in the Middle Ages, but Da Vinci made quite a living without the need for copyrights of his work.
Maybe I'm an art house bourgeois uppity bastard who only like foreign films, but I'd like for one day in my life to be able to turn on the radio or TV and see something that is more than just "entertainment". I'd like to see art.
Do you feel safe when you smoke pot? Or speed in your care? Or fib on your taxes?
The truth of the matter is that so many people break the law that it isn't economical or possible to arrest them all even with clear cut evidence. However, they still catch the unlucky few to make examples.
So the question is... Do you feel lucky? Well do you?
You'd make a good Buddhist... Of course so would Jesus.
But you are correct... The Bible is quite mistrued and we selectivily pick and choose which books (I've read over the Gnostic bibles and they are really interesting about the demons and angels) and then we have the translation problem.
IMO Islam at least has this issue taken care of because their books are kept in the original language of Arabic and were only written after Mohammed's death by people who had been with him and memorized his verses. Not only that, but the required two or more persons to have remembered it before they would include it in the Quaran.
Yes, you are definitely stereotyping. I'm an agnostic. I don't go to church anymore, but I went when I was growing up and almost nothing you mention appeared in my church.
Personally, I was raised Catholic in the "deep south" where all my friends were raised in fire and brimstone Baptist churches while we had to travel 45 minutes to go to our Church.
My Catholic church wasn't much to sneeze at... The sermons were bland and generally just telling you verbatim of things from the Bible without much interpetation.
However... When I went to my friends Baptist church groups and services they would talk about fire and brimstone and damnation. I remember they would have kids group where some guy would dress up as satan and the try to run up and down the isles and the kids would boo and hiss at him. They would pass out Jack Chick tracts and so on...
Pretty much all the rhetoric scared the shit out of me and I thought I was going to hell as a child for being a Catholic. (however MTV, NIN, early 90's and teen angst cured that)
However there was a lot of hypocryisy involved in the local church seen. Affairs... Theivery of church donations... And even murder... Yes... In my small town of 3,000 a pastor was murdered by a mother of a daughter he was sleeping with at a local grocery store in front of tons of witnesses. I kid you not...
However, my Catholic church really didn't have all that and was rather bland and I never really felt they were pushing anything on me other saying stuff I didn't really understand.
When the shortwave broadcaster is in hostile territory. It was fine when you had an embassy or a helpful country, but it is trivial for a nation with the right tech to triangulate your location especially if you are broad casting.
Secondly, short wave radios might attract attention when you have one on your person if you happened to be searched or your place is raided or if you have to go through a check point or airport security.
A wifi enable cell phone wouldn't get a second look other by TSA, Police, or even an FBI agent. Heck... It isn't even that passe in Pakistan or even Somalia to have a cell phone. However, if the locals saw you with an strange and usual radio writing down messages, they might turn you over to the local authorities.
So, basically, instead of using a fairly innocuous radio, which is easy to explain away if apprehended, you propose that the secret agent go around carrying stolen cards and stolen ID and wardrive?
No real spy war drives. He sips his carmel mochiatta at starbucks enjoying a copy of the People Daily while his laptop makes the call with skype dumping it to a wav file.
I can almost guarantee that if someone is paying for 6mbps ADSL, they are syncing to the DSLAM at 6mbps.
Unless of course you are a Bell South customer. Then all bets are off...
But seriously if someone is paying for 6mbps ADSL there is no gurantee they will be synching at 6mbps at the DSLAM. First there are environmental factors (how good is your houses internal phone wiring?) and distance to the CO.
Sure the DSLAM theoretical sync maybe 6mbps, but unless the thing is on your block or in your building (if you are in NYC) and you have perfect phone lines (no load coils, AM radio station nearby, or arc weilders) you will never get that true sync speed.
However, that said... I think it is expected that the ladies speed dropped from the 700 to 300 because the DSLAM is only trying half as hard and using only half the bandwidth in frequency on the copper line. So now your crappy fast speed is just a crappy slow speed.
Personally, I don't like DSL as a technology because I had to work at an ISP that supported it an roll out BellSouth, SBC, and Covad trucks to houses where people couldn't get sync at all to fix their NIDs and there were so many environmental issues that could go wrong between the customer and the central office. It was pretty much a hit and miss (especially with Bellsouth)
Why doesn't microsoft use the same rootkit approach to "cage" the registry into the directories used by the programs you install, and let the programs only use their caged registry? That way programs would only need access to their own caged directory and maybe a temporary or data directory.
We would prefer they not enter intending to work and consume taxpayer funded services unless they're actually documented and paying taxes.
Most illegal aliens I know don't cost the state anything other than lost taxes since they are paid under the table. However, I would like point out at the housing boom was only possible because of these guys out there getting paid 1/16th what union labor would have cost them.
Most mexicans I have met have been hard working doing jobs that most people would hate to do.
However, this does mean lost jobs for Americans and money leaving the country and going south, but I'm not an economist nor a poltician and have opinion nor solution for this issue.
I'm just pointing out that our economy wouldn't have been so vibrant in the housing industry had we not had illegal aliens.
If you don't trust the courts to work properly, then your issue is much bigger than this request/legislation.
Well... To be fair. Nazi courts during WWII worked properly, efficiently, and as intended by those in power. Everyone simply just trusted them to work without question.
And to really be fair, our judicial system is nowhere near that type of system which is why we need to question its authority every day.
Don't prey on children and don't plan terrorist acts and you'll be fine.
Really now... Is terrorist and child predators that big of threat? Did we run out of communists? The worse thing that could come out of this is that we don't have any terrorists or child predators to throw in jail which leads to these huge security organizations twiddling their thumbs and deciding to make up targets in order to justify more funding.
The probelm with government is that if they don't spend their money or do anything, then they loose their funding. If there are no criminals, predators, or terrorists to go after they will have to create them to continue their employement.
God forbid we ever live in a peaceful and lawabiding world where we don't need this kind of security.
Seriously, the number of non-lawyers sounding off in the last three days has gotten on my nerves; there's a lot of misinformation on slashdot (surprise surprise) but it always seems to be worse when it involves the law..
If you think that is bad, wait till you see the people on the juries.
Imagine having a bar with a sign out front saying "if you are under the legal age you cannot purchase alcohol here. By entering you are agreeing you are of legal age". You can't just sell alcohol to anyone entering because they agreed they were old enough.
That is a bit different... Mostly because you will loose your liquor license if it is found you sold alcohol to minors (which is against the law).
However, it isn't against the law for employees of certain corporations to go to websites AFAIK and no one is legally required to check.
Hence, there is no room for comparison of a bar and website.
On the same token, I think it behoves the owner of the website to control those who access it if he wants to control access. I don't think EULA's have any legal weight because they are usually held invalid in courts.
Had he had an EULA that said "if you are an employee of a corporation, you must notify us and pay us $1,000 for the right to access" then if the other group breached that part of the contract then he would have grounds to sue (I think since IANAL)
It would sadden me if this is the case, but as the Chinese government lessens its control of its citizenry and with the majority having no clear religion, there has been a corresponding rise in what most consider immoral behavior, and thus the current backlash.
If you are implying that a Judeo-Christian religion would help them I would recommend taking a hard look at the past 2,000 years of our religion. It does nothing to stop crime nor prevents society as whole from doing horrible things to other people even with the anger of god and damnation hanging over their head. In some instances it may because people do to horrible things.
Burning people at the stake... inquisitions... Hanging suspected witches for devil worship... Holy Wars... Flying planes into buildings.... Blowing your self up in a crowded market in the name of your god.
Not to say religion can bring out the best in people on occasion, but it isn't required for it do so.
However, the Chinese are in luck... From what I've heard Buddhism is gaining in popularity and that tends to be the most non-violent of all religions (well if you don't count the Sri-Lanka violence) and from what I've studied of it has the best moral frame work of all religions and is more compatible with technology and science.
And as an aside, I think Christianity is frowned upon in China mostly because it caused one of the most bloody civil wars in its history in the Taiping Rebellion where Hong Xiuquan declared he was the new messiah back in the 1850's.
As a sysadmin, this sounds neat -- but I haven't seen any computing environments that need that kind of horsepower yet.
I take it you don't do any scientific calculations or physics modeling at your place of work.
And I assume that you don't do 3d animation or video editing either?
Or mabye mass amounts of OCR, Photoshop, or anything else that puts CPU usage at 100%
Sure 90% of the computer market doesn't need this, but the other 10% is willing to shell out the big bucks to be the early adopters. Eventually this will be passed down to the rest of the 90% when the next big thing comes along.
What, are you rubber stamping computer orders? I order what I need, dude, and if you're with a company that's forcing video RAM on you, leave.
I don't know what kind of company you work for or how much leeway you get in your purchasing power, but most companies I have worked for do not let you have this much power.
Either it is the lowest bidder (ah the joys of Government) or you have to put up with whatever your CIO head has previously had a contract with for 5 years and your lucky to even get a PO approved even with a 5 page essay and 10 signatures.
I'm exaggerating, but sometimes buying power is quite limited, but I've worked for some companies that were pretty cool about purchasing even though I was low on the totem poll.
They're doing what they feel is right to put the company back on track.
You mean like feel what they are doing will keep the company alive for another decade, or feel what they are doing will make for a nice CEO stock option bonus?
What one feels is always subjective to perspective.
Yep, just like this old fogie predicted, the piracy issues is evolving along nicely parallel to the 50's-60's "legalize marijuana" drug movement.
Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. Most people back then didn't do drugs if they were Joe Six-Pack. However, most people already break the law when it comes to pirating.
Not only that, the RIAA and MPAA want to get rid of fair use.
They want to make time shifting and recording TV shows illegal because using the DMCA they have made it illegal for Joe Six-pack to by pass the DRM.
This is stuff that grandma, Bob the Blue Collar worker, and Sara the Single Mom already do and they don't think its morally wrong. This was stuff they were doing in the 70s and 80s with the VCR and tape recorders.
So this is more like Prohibition of the 30's. People, young and old, don't think it is wrong and they actively do it every day without thinking twice.
But in the real world it takes losts of advertising, promotion and wheel-greasing to create a snger/band/TV show worth anything.
You mean to create a singer/band/TV show that is a peice of cookie cutter un-imaginative un-original peice of turd crap that monkies and typewriters could have made.
Seriously, the only stuff worth reading, watching, and listening to are those who don't go through the process of the MPAA/RIAA. It takes a bit of effort on the part of the consumer to find these things, but the stuff they regurgitate on mass media these days makes me ill.
Maybe I just miss the 90's, but I remember originality and when the radio stations played original music when they were owned by clear channel. I remember when MTV played music videos and showed cool things like Liquid Television. I remember when TV was more than just a guy with a camcorder recording some fake scripted reality TV show drama.
