Every day it gets harder to run your own mail/web server. soon you will need an operating license to have one, and soon after that there will be a per-message charge for every email you send. Just one more step into turning internet into the one-way broadcast media TV and radio are.
I use VoiP on my Nokia E61 already.. When I go to the US I can either pay the 1.50 a minute roaming fee, or I can stroll into a residential area and pay 1c a minute to call over Wifi. Most of the time it's worth the walk
Are they using this trick on TCP now? as far as I know their DRM only applies to rich enhanced Premium Content(tm) from the Big Five who are willing to pay their DRM licensing fees that exist only to stop 'amateurs' from experimenting with DRM
It is quite amazing that almost every computer you see there has windows XP with the dreaded Luna theme. Apple is unheard of, and so is firefox. Yet at the same time there seems to be quite a big linux community but very behind the scenes. Like here they have public terminals that run Linux, the computers in the library have openoffice.org installed but there is none of that in Korea. I went into a big computer shop in Pusan and didn't see a single mac or anything remotely to do with linux. Then there are all the dreaded PC clubs, where people play to the death, literally. Most of them still using CRT's yet high spec computers for gaming. Almost every bar you walk into subscribes to some "maxmp3" or similar service - all based out of the browser (IE6) flash-based web players, maybe ActiveX who knows I was more concerned with drinking Hite
yup. a month ago i owned 3sx.net - look at it now
honestly I don't know what these fuckwits are at. I had this domain pointed to my IP for about 6 months and a few people looked at the site every week. They will be lucky if one person clicks on the piss poor ads they put on there. It certainly wasnt worth the 6.95 a year for me
A better question is, under what possible set of circumstances would ANYONE market a product that would want to behave indepently from it's owners wishes
Umm.. Isn't that what they do with DRM all the time? I want my own phone to copy a ringtone yet it tries to prevent me from doing so in a somewhat hopeless attempt to protect the artist^H^H^H^H^H^H evil corporation who made it, yet they do not own any part of the phone.

"But the FBI agent recorded a conversation of you discussing new ways to get past WMV13 DRM"
From http://scambuster419.co.uk/
A 419 scammer sends money to Gilbert!
After persuading a 419 scammer to spend an entire week going from bank to bank, desperately trying to find one that would accept a succession of extremely dubious payment slips, Gilbert managed to turn the tables on the scammer: he persuaded the scammer to send money to HIM via Western Union, rather than the other way round!
After a catalogue of failed transfers to the scammer which Gilbert blamed on network problems, Gilbert suggested that the scammer send him the money to check that the Western Union network was now operating without any problems. Almost unbelievably, the scammer complied. Click here to read the whole story.
The cash, incidentally, has been donated to Cancer Research UK. I'm sure that the scammer would be delighted if he knew that his money had gone towards a good cause.
Windows XP will run on a machine with 128mb RAM, and it is usable. but not for very long
Even if you are a windows fanboy you will feel like throwing the thing out the window after a few minutes because how slow it is. And I'm talking about just XP running on that machine, nothing else that would slow it down.

TFA only really talks about SLi drivers, something which most linux desktop users don't need and dont want since they are not hard-core gaming nerds who need the extra 5 fps. Since there are about 25 million linux users out there it is well worth it for them to write a linux driver for their ordinary graphics cards. I remember tons of people bitching in forums about the lack of ATI drivers for linux, i'm sure the amount of people who bought a nVidia card over a ATI because they are known to work on linux will pay for the "poor" engineer who had to write them.
even if it does know the street signs it still requires the driver to be aweake.. if I was bored one day I could hold up a few signs infront of it's camera and watch it plunder down the nearest cliff.
Fun times ahead. bill gates will be buying a new car every day if he doesnt do that already
Assuming you're right, how can I steal something they dont sell?
Do they sell the music in unencrypted DRM-less MP3 format at the bitrate I want? No.
They sell it online using a low-quality proprietary codec that only runs on a particular OS that I dont use because that OS has features to "make it work against the owner" why should my computer be an agent of the content providers? they own no part of it. They might own the "content" but not the machine that is playing it and therefore should not attempt to excersize any control over it against the owner's wishes
no doubt under the inflewence of the likes of intel, and microsoft who in recent advertising campaigns over here claim to be "20 years investing in ireland". But he is basically an idiot like the rest of Fianna Fail who are involved in numerous "brown envelope" scandals.

Whats so great about apple? why can't they give the specs to the kernel maintainers?

Will be pulling their hair out when they try to mooch wifi from my hacked router. No matter what they do it will say they are unpatched
