The word intergrety is in microsoft's dictionary? Last time I checked, bill gates did not care that their tablet pc OS has memory problems. Or how they treat other companies. A few years (decades?) ago, microsoft screwed over IBM on os/2. They make incredibly restrictive EULAs. They will also do anything they can to consume the latest techknowlegy (tabbed browsing, RSS) and just kill it in their products. Show me one thing that microsoft has done in it's buisness practices that shows integrety.
This seems very much to me like the proposed anti-p2p bill in congress. It is incredibly hard to filter the internet. Makers of internet porn filters already know this quite well, and they spend a lot of money compiling blacklists. They will never be able to filter out all porn. Same with china, they are spending loads of money keeping their citizens censored. And they will never completely get it done. And if they somehow do, there are always proxies.
Now about the p2p bill. Congress is proposing a bill to make p2p internet transactions illegal. China is doing the same thing, except they are already trying. I must also mention that finding more that 50% of p2pers is incredibly hard, and arguably impossible.
In summary, the internet cannot be filtered, at least completely, as it is impossible.
What do you mean our brains do not work like computers, granted they are different, but the basic fundamentals are the same. We transmit and interpret data the same way computers do. We use electrical signals, and although the devices that send and interpret these signals are organic, they still only have an off and on. There is no in between. Again I would like to re-iterate that this is only at the very basic level, if you are talking about higher level thinking and operation, of course they are different. We can learn can't we?
In addition to the parent. Most consumers do not trust amd, only intel; just like linux to windows. It is what has been drilled into their heads. It's all FUD that keeps manufacturers from supporting AMD more often.
"Yes, if filtering becomes mandated, your will be the one to pay"-myself
"It doesn't require the ISP or another company to determine what to censor, the list is maintained by the AG's office, part of the state government." -somewhere else in this story
There have been an increasing number of cases where concerned parents was the legislature to almost babysit their children, as they do not want to spend the time monitoring their children themselves. And don't give me any bull shit about how hard it is, you came into parenthood (hopefully) completley aware of the dedication it would require. Parenthood is a choice, and your children should be cared for by you, not the legislature. I do not pay taxes to have my internet hindered/primeums increased. Yes, if filtering becomes mandated, your will be the one to pay. [/rant] I guess what I am trying to get at is that we should not be reduced to living and being treated like children.
THink of how much wasted cycles there are running Screen Saver, or a Word document.
I that cycles spent running a word doccument are not wasted, as they are used for productivity, whereas a screen saver is not. It is not fair to compare the two.
And of course this wasted space has been realized before, and what you are talking about is distributed computing. For example GIMPS and SETI@home both use unused cpu cycles, so you get 100% of your cpu time going to something important. It would be nice if buisnesses found a way to distribute their processes on big jobs, but the fact is that most users do not need all the power they have for mundane things such as word editing and e-mail.

Do you mean you want people to always use emacs, or what I said above?
Mostly, though, I couldn't resist repeating a post which wondered if it was doomed to be repeated forever.
very clever of you
I *hadn't* heard about CueCats before (not an american geek), and found the article interesting.
They are pretty interesting, especially if u mod them.
Sorry if you thought it was directed at you:)
no hard feelings:)
I was also sort of in a flaming mood when I made the Top Parent post, as I had absorbed it from some of the other posts. I was just trying to be funny.:-D
Exactly what the parent said. "but they were great for hacking."
is that right?? The thing was impossible to use, and thus useless for hacking(or anything else for that matter), I could easily do more with a camera and a printer than I ever would be able to do with a cue cat.
"I had the client fork over $100 per seat for some medium range one-shot LED scanners and life was good.:)
Sadly this reminds me of HL2. They had so many delays, and still haven't released DOD source.
assumes fetal position and begins to cry (not that I really care about windows CLI, I care about HL2)
in order to understand how the lawers think mostly(only?) of money, you must understan that a bunch of them hate their job, yet joined it because of the money.
Apparently money is worth more than anything else in the world...
actually in russia, cows tip you. But sometimes the people get up from eating their boots to go tip cows for fun.
btw. wtf is with these anti script conformation images, it it impossible to tell between an i, I, or l when there is a line going straight through the character!!

In that case, Who ever said that they were ever going to find the pirates?
You are right. I completely forgot how "Data" can be transmitted with chemicals in the body.

how Aunt Bebe's bunions are doing.
:)
lol, always a thought on my mind about that:
Here's an example:So how's that alzimers going for you uncle phill?
Phil: Who the hell are you?
You don't have to worry about him telling anyone about your passwords, if only public terminals were more like him...
"But that would be too expensive p-Ms cost more than p4s"
:(
what you would likely hear if you brought it up. Consumers (almost) always go for the lowest common denomenator.

Well at least you won't end up paying as much...

"The hardware guys are getting ready to toss this big hairy package over the wall:"
Vivid imagary...
I could be wrong, but hasn't Walmart been selling PCs for $199 for a year or so now?
:-)
Apparently fully loaded includes Windows, not Linux. The machines included lindows (The lindows distro is a piece of crap...).
Isn't this guy a little late to the party?
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and call him fashonably late...

as a follow up: The cue cat is good being hacked, not for actually doing any hacking, unless u hacked it to read serials in plaintext
:)
Happy Hacking!
"Has this post already been published years ago or are we doomed forever to keep repeating it?"
;-( *

not when I posted it. Sorry but dubble posts happen all the time, if 2 people post at nearly the same time.
*cries because he is no longer and individual due to someone else posing a similar post at the same time
ps. this isin't a flame, just defending my post.
