I thought all programmers are suppose to do this? If this is new to the programmer in this article, I don't think he's been doing it right. I'd hate to see what kind of code he's been writing up to this point...
So they're saying we can either let companies define how the internet should run/work or let the government decide how the internet should run/work. But since either way, you have someone deciding, you should choose us instead of someone else?
Couldn't I make the same rationale about facism? "Look, I know you don't like us trying to take over and enforcing facism. But if you're petitioning your government to be against facism, that's just having a small group of people decide what's better for everyone, which is already facism. So you might as well accept our facism."
Come to think of it, I could probably use the same rationale for being blackmailed, being taken hostage...
" Modifying game software may involve the creation of a
derivative work, in the form of a new version of the game that will play without a server
authentication check or one that connects to new matchmaking servers. It may also involve the
making of intermediate copies while reverse-engineering authentication mechanisms or server
communication protocols. These copies and modifications are made in order to access the
functionality of lawfully acquired software."
This is saying that it could entail reverse engineering, but possibly not as well. This sounds like modifying the source and recompile or making a service that mimics/mirrors the auth server or the game server. Why did this become all about hacking all of the sudden?
in a non ivy-league school... Yeah, that sounds about right. Not sure that ivy-league CS majors would do any better because CS isn't taught with since science but logic and algorithms. That's not to say my classmates are apt code writes (most of them are not), but we definitely are not taught physical, chemical or other what's traditionally known as sciences. Really though, if commenters really want to be pick apart statements like that, they'd ignore the speaker's background and see if the statement itself holds true based on facts alone.
Help? They set up a website. Just because we know how to type a URL into an address bar and not the search bar and know to read the page to find the comment section, doesn't mean they gave unfair help. Just because they made sure that their website is working properly in what it's suppose to be doing, doesn't mean they helped the other side. Besides, isn't making sure the minority is heard affirmative action? Aren't republicans against affirmative action?
"Out of over 9,000 staffers in the House, should we really be banning this whole IP range based on the actions of two or three? "
Tell that to voter fraud bills, the claim of "welfare queens" and not allowing female reproductive rights because "some use it to be promiscuous". Not so fun now that it's on the other foot, is it?
However, unlike those claims, they do have control of AND responsibility over their entire network. This IP ban is standard practice for IT security. If they can't secure their network, then they don't deserve access to the server. Access to servers are a privilege, not a right.
I do have a to agree in that the current development style/strategy (agile development) is less geared towards solid development and more on features and getting stuff out there. I think the article is just saying that they should do less of pushing out features and new things and more on good programming/fix known bugs. Of course putting out a bugless program is near impossible, but there's a difference in better prevention versus better clean-up.
yeah, this is what I thought they were doing. As big as verizon and comcast's data centers are, there's no way that they colo all of the data of all the content that netflix hosts. Not with the advantage of virtualized servers is allowing for caching and peering so that everyone, coming from different providers can still get the same content. That's not to mention that all the mentions of the deals between comcast and netflix mentioned direct peering, not colocation.

"News of a paid peering deal comes two days after a traceroute showed that the two companies were exchanging traffic with each other directly."
Wait... since netflix has direct connection to verizon, and I doubt netflix's amazon cloud servers discriminate between comcast and verizon connections. And if there is a slow down and it's only on verizon customers, why do you think it's netflix that undersized the connections?
I mean, sure netflix could, but it would simpler and easier solution is that they didn't. Besides, if verizon is providing the bandwidth they said they did, instead of threatening to sue, why don't they just show logs/graphs of how much data is being pushed through and how fast. I'm sure they have splunk or cacti graphs somewhere.
any and all podcast grabbers, twitter, flicker, friendster, eharmony... let's see... what other social/popular sites do people keep tell me to join....
There needs to be a law where if you are going to sue for tech patent infringement, you need to sue all the companies that have infringed at once or none at all.
In related news. Bush vows to hold his breath until his face turns blue in protest of the house not being bipartisan by giving him exactly what he wants.
I haven't been in American that long (only almost 20 years). Has there been a worse president than this guy?
Taiwan's free speech laws are pretty good and liberal. Definitely worth checking out. But it's been years since I went back. Things might have changed.
That understanding the laws of physics doesn't mean you can't believe underpants gnomes come in the middle of the night and steal your underpants and kills kenny occasionally... I'm tired of everyone treating the science vs. god argument as if there's only one religion in the world. I think I'm going write to my congressman about making sure everyone knows that evolutions is BS and that the world is really a giant cow and that the trees are the hairs of that cow and the rivers the blood of that cow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_mythology#The_beginning Treat all religion equally or don't put one religious theory above another rah damn it!!!
It would be more perfect if company X was also the company that has an affiliation with the vice president and he is also getting kick backs from Company x for every machine sold. There was a similar slashdot article about how there were numerous reports of votes flipping one way without warning, but never the other...
eat tasteless food all day, everyday too. After all, taste doesn't have any direct impact on what nutrients we actually need. But... why would you want to? (goes back to sleep.)
"Your aunt's cousin's mother's friend's gardener's dog's best friend's owner downloaded watched a movie she's not suppose to. You're going to prison!!!"
I also think we need to sue Toyota for all the car accidents in the world, the fire/matches for all the destruction in Southern California and god for any and all wars/plagues after 0 BC... WTF?!?
But yeah, this isn't surprising from a country that had a campaign to kill rice eating birds... only to have the locusts devastate their crops the next year.
When can I report his computer for copyright infringement? Because by it's current definition if he goes to a site to see/read/learn any content where he wasn't given permission to is defined as copyright infringement. After all, he is making a copy, not viewing the source.

All workers in the foxconn buildings have been arrested after the implementation of the stress cams.
So... their argument is "Netflix would have done it first, so we have to do it sooner."?

Wants to trademark the term "sue you"? He'd make a bank in his industry alone.

Any here played Blaster Master on the NES way back when? I think this is the precursor to that...

As far as I can remember, I was already reading Chinese. But then, I am chinese. IMO, this is what the US DS market is lacking. Games like this:
