I am 20 and I can remember at chrch everyone said that Baywatch was evil because of the scantily clad women, but go to any church function where there was a pool (youth trips to the waterpark,get-togethers where people had a pool, so on) and the girls were wearing far less than anyone on bay watch. now fast forward to ~2-3 years ago when CSI was launched, it was the yage, if you didnt watch it (which I didn't and never will) you were an outcast (which I was) never mind all of the naked, mamed, raped, and mutilated bodies, that was just fine apperantly...
There are many more examples that I can sight but sufice to say, I do not want anyone telling me (or my ISP) what I can and cannot access.
I dont remember off hand who said it but I love this quote, it is something to the effect of "those who would give up liberty in the persuit of 'safety' deserve neither"
I have seen graphics cards go supernova - just overclock one and you can see it too...FOR REAL, no 3D sim crap,..
To take advantage of this in the PC:

AMD Quad Cores, Oh My

one would need either a ton more ram or faster I/O for the HDD than is standard tosday or even in the near future. the bottleneck is non volatile storage throughput, fix that and even todays systems could be much faster than they are with SATA/scsi/ata100/133
Why alow calculators ontests at all? if you cant do the basic stuff with ease, you should not be in an algebra-type class, and if you show your work there is little chance to make a +-/ or * mistake as they are easy to see.
And besides, if a kid did use this on a test how is it cheating because they were allowed to use the device which means all functions thereof including eastereggs.
this is a big dupe, and let me answer the question: NO it isnt a threat, If aple ties it to hardware amd people break that and make it work on anything, that is a DMCA violation and thus only a relative few qould do it, most that want apple will buy apples anyway because theoor hardware is nicer than the PC equicelant for not too much more $$.
I see a differance between IE and Firefox in that most firefox flaws are discovered with theory and unharmfull proof of concept and quickly patched whereas MS doesnt patch any IE hole untill criminals have been activly using it for months, that is why I use Firefox (except when I use my Mac.)
I havn't even read the summery, i likely will but I just want to say that while for many on this site the headline is a wet dream, it is pure flaimbait.
I bought a mini because I wanted OSX, I hate the hardware, The thing I like about the $500 wintel tower is that I can add power as I get the money, a great feature for a college student.
This summer, I plan to upgrade my pc from 256 to 768 MBram, and to a 120-160gb 7200rpm from the stock 60 gig 5400, I would love to do this kind of thing to my Mac but I cant get a mid tower foer under 1500, that sucks
This is a great reason to keep some degaussing tools around, hell, why nit just rig up a degausser in the dryer, problem solved.
this is absurd. To throw the trackers off, I just leave peices of clothing at friends houses, in a locker at the bus station and the YMCA, all over the place, hell put a few garments in friends cars so ther are many moving targets.. How would this work anyway, do you have to register your boxers with "big brother"? is it tied to a unique id embedded into the unit and documented on the tag?
I see this being a navelty, like the Macarana or bell bottoms.
In a big company that has a lot of enemies, somewithin its own gates no doubt, this could happen to any system that is not set up perfectly, a rootkit could be introduced on a *nix system the same way 99% of trojen horses get into win boxes, social engenering.
By its verry nature, a trogen is a program that APPREARS to be good but has an evil payload. once again, the problem is gullible users and/or techs and/or admins. not windows per-se.
It is hard to take security seriously when NO ONE around you does. Here at schiil i have to give my SSN for everything, and every document I recive from the school has my ssn on it, I have repeatedly complained but no one gives a rats ass, i point out situations like this and it falls on deaf ears.
the problem is the "It cant happen to me, not in this little town, that only happens in the big city" mindset of old applied to technology. it seems like no one will learn untill it is too late for them.
the worst part is there is not a god damned thing I can do about it, everyone, like trained trones gives it out freely, without thought of the consequences, and when the policy is questioned, they look at me like my tin foil hat is too tight or something...
The problem is ignorant users, the headline is like saying "THERE IS NO SAFE CAR" of cource no car is safe when you dont buckle up, drive 120MPH and swirve, but when proper precautions are taken, I dare say a Lexus is safer than a Pinto. Browsers can be totaly safe, as much as I hate to say it, IE can be pretty safe too. just follow these rules: 1:USE A FIREWALL 2: update your browser 3:disable ActiveX, any site that uses it is a site you should learn to live without. 4: (the one most often broken) DONT CLICK YES ALL THE TIME, warnings are there for a reason. 5: Dont DL and run STUPID executables
Most Browsers do a decent job of protecting you fron the bad stuff, but NOTHING can protect you from yourself, short of cutting the cable, and if you do that, dont run with scisors
If for nothing else, the school can , for less than one percent of the MS license fees, have OOo printed to CDs for every student, no more labs full of students working furiously in the labs at 7AM as we had in our HS because so many could not afford Office and didnt want/know how to "aquier" it.
We that had it shared the wealth, but a lot of people saw it as theft, I saw it as needing to get my homework done.
I love the way Windows crashes
When Apple or Google come up, Microsoft bashes
The viruses and spyware I love to hate for the next upgrade serve as bait Oh for longhorn I cannot wait But without walls or fences the world needs no windows or gates
Said it before and I will say it again, Very Very FEW people are willing to read a long form document like a book on a screen, send someone a, oh say, 30 page - will they read it or print it?
People will use this to find a resource, then go to the bookstore or library and BAMO it works, the customer wins finding obscure resources, and the vendor wins with more sales.
From where I sit, TV as we know it has little to no future, as the big media outlets go cheaper and cheaper with these crappy reality shows packed with more commercials and annoying 1/3 of the screen banner ads, as long as the TV industry sais HELL NO to time and space shifting, and as long as Macs, HDDV Cams and bandwidth gets cheaper, lots of great people will fill in the things we all so miss, great sitcoms, edgy dramas, and so on that dont fit the hollywierd steriotypes and thus are better. the good stuff, like the few good scripted shows left, the sports, the movies and such will all exist in the new space but in a much better way. maybe not free mut likely ad free.
How are they being hurt when it is the biggest opening that any movie has ever seen, how exactly is this hurting? $50M in a single day must be fucking rough.
Has anyone at the MPAA heard about recent happenings on BT HELPING the SCI-FI Channel?
and one more thing: let me preface it by saying that I plan to see the movie in the theaters and do not plan on DLing it, but if robbery is what the MPAA is so conserned about, why have ticket prices raised (in my area anyhow) by at least 150% in the last ~7 years, beating the hell out of inflation...can you say MONOPOLY?

This has been tried before, it was called the Tower of Babble,grab a Bible and see how the story ends...

It was a JOKE, I thought it would / should be modded "funny"
IF it takes spyware hostage
The paradigm is shifting, hold on for the ride.
