Minor operations might be fine, but when you need to work on something that can spill lots of blood, like a wound or heart surgery, that might be a little more difficult to control were blood shoots off too.
I'm sorry, its simple. If someone makes a product, and you don't want to pay for it, it does not give you the right to get that exact song or CD though some other means. RIAA produced some music for artist, asked for payment to own a CD or to Listen to it in some digital format, doesn't give you the right to say no and go download it for free someplace else. If some artist doesn't deal with the RIAA, and wants to give out their music, so be it. But the RIAA has a simple argument that if you want this particular song or CD, pay please.
Copyright infringement in my mind is if a band creates a song and is selling it, but another band comes and does the same exact song purposely knowing they are knocking of the other bands song, and they sell it or give it out, that is Copyright infringement since the first band should have legal rights to that song. Downloading music does not fit Copyright infringement in my mind. Downloading is just plain not paying for a product that someone asked you to pay for. I could careless who the company is, pay up, or don't get the product.
Hell, if Artists are doing so well without the RIAA, then maybe more will join them, then the RIAA will fail and music will be free. But in a free music invironment, sometimes the lower guys might get squeezed out because people only want to listen to the songs from their free CD, and not see them in concert. Hell, people have stop going to the movies because they are not that great, that might happen to the lower bands. Maybe that is Darwin working the worst out, but even the worst sound good sometimes.
So what give you the right to steal someones lively hood. F the RIAA, but in doing this by downloading, you are F'ing the artist. Their lively hood depends on you the consumer buying and paying for the music. Instead you download it and they don't get a cent. How can you compare Americans standing up for their rights with ripping off artist of their music. If anything, you would should feel compelled to pay for it. Someone made something, charges a price, if you don't like the price or who is selling the product, then just don't buy. But this does not give you the right to steal it by downloading it. Someone made a product and has asked for you to pay for it, so either pay, or don't have it.
Example, Americans love Twinkies. But I don't see a million people going into 7/11s and just taking twinkies off the rack and walking out with them because someone made that product, and has asked for the consumer to pay.
Not to bust your bubble, but all MS has done is just regurgitated an portable player. The bigger screen is nice but it will also eat up your battery life too. Apple might have only given a little bit better screen with brightness and higher resolution, but at least they gave a much better battery life, both devices have yet to be tested in that area yet but we don't even know what the Zune can do yet.
Ad-hoc wireless sounds nice, but I'm sure its going to have a major bug that everyone is going to exploit to either keep the music or its going to f up and people can't trade the songs. And its Windows only probably. So everyone that hates MS now and is looking to switch to something else are not going to buy this device. Plus its going to be XP or Vista only and cut out everyone that doesn't upgrade.
This device even looks like the iPod large screen photo that came out like a year ago as a fake design, with the addition of the two buttons on either side of the click wheel. No very inventive there, plus the size of 30Gigs is just small, way to small.
Oh fuck off. The only reason why I said I didn't know much is because this type of thing was the first I had ever heard of this type of exploit from this person, who does this for a living. But if you read further, my guess is very logical. So just fuck off if you don't have anything informative to add, which is obvious because all you do is try to bash me for my wording.
Since I don't know much about the subject, only had this conversation with a certain someone who does wireless security for a company, the idea is that there is a driver or little bit of software that used to test the devices before shipment, and that software stays with the device. It is not that secure because it is thought that no one would ever try to call on it or try to invoke it. Essentually, these guys might have envoked this driver/software/firmware that is built into the chip set of the wireless card, and was able to get it to send and recieve and write to the OS. Not sure if once they compromise the driver/software that is built in the chip set, they can then talk to the OS'a driver without issue, I'm guessing that is what they have figured out how to do. So, this is the guess: Compromise firmware driver of wireless chipset (which can be done to any computer that has the hardware turned on), send code to talk from firmware driver to OS driver (the code they didn't want everyone to get and OS specific), then from there you can then talk from hackers computer directly to the OS of the compromised computer.
As to if that firmware is programmable, my guess is that it either so small that it would be too difficult to work with the space, or is burned into the chip a certain way.
Don't be so smug yet, it still might be and exploit for your machine. I was talking to a wireless security guy a month ago about something like this, and he was telling me that every wireless card has an inbeaded driver for testing purposes before leaving the factory to insure it is working. Essentually this driver is still present after being shipped to whom ever is going to use it, and thus is still around when it makes its way into a computer. I was told that it is possible to invoke this drive since its tied to the hardware, no matter what OS.
And if OpenBSD has no problem and its the OS driver that needs replacing, then Apple will just take your OpenBSD driver and port it to their system, problem solved. That is why they went with BSD, they can borrow from any BSD that is out there.

For me, Netflix is slow because they do that throttling with my movies. When I send one back, it only has to travel about 80 miles max to the closes Netflix distrobution place. But it still take about 4 days for my movies sent from my house to reach them. Its like they don't check my stuff in so they can just deny sending me my next one on my list. That is something I'm sick of, but I don't care enough to go to a Blockbuster rental store or incure late fees when I don't return stuff.
Spyware and Spam would be a maybe, but so far the Mac or Linux/*nix computers don't have any, only Windows. And what happens is a computer gets infected with malware/spyware, and then it becomes a spam bot. But if a computer can be made safe from getting malware first, which again Mac and Linux/*nix are, then spam operators wont have any spam bots, and hopefully we can then track down the sources of spam a lot easier to the server of the spammer.
And yes, there are stupid users, my parents are a couple of them. But hey, got them a Mac and didn't need to worry after that. Hell, I came home from school one weekend and my dad was telling me he had trouble opening an attachment. I laughed because it was a virus and he couldn't get it to work after getting it in an email. He has become smarter about it but he sometimes just wants to click away.

Yep, hell froze over and MS decided not to continue to make a piece of software.

Because I have already payed for it and the phone companies have not held up their end.

Reading the above post, I could have swarn it said PORN.
Software industry group Open Source Victoria has teamed up with NSW technology company Phase N to develop a plug-in for Microsoft Office users to view documents in the Open Document Format. From here: http://www.theage.com.au/news/breaking/opendoc-plu gin-for-ms-office-users/2005/10/20/1129775888552.h tml So it is being worked on, just give it time since MS isn't helping at all.
