From the sounds of it, the client was unable to pay their initial settlement offer of a few thousand. If thats the case then is there much different between being bankrupt and unable to pay say $50,000 or $5,000,000?
Its obvious that the only reason media companies fail is because of piracy. I pulled numbers out of thin air that show this company would have made over $44billion a year if it wasnt for pirates. They should use more DRM, so much that every customer needs a signed statement that promises no other person, animal, vegetable or mineral will see, hear, smell or even know the media is playing. Activating the media should require a DNA sample.
Doesn't anyone think it might be a bit obvious if your system suddenly starts re-requesting/re-sending a large number of its packets? And, would your bandwidth not also double, if you use this and re-send one secret packet for every 'normal' packet?
From TFA...
"Could a careful eavesdropper spot that RSTEG is being used because the first sent packet is different from the one containing the secret message? As long as the system is not over-used, apparently not,"
This isnt designed to hide bittorrent traffic but should be able to hide someone posting on a web bog or some other low bandwidth activity. The downside seems to be it hides what you're sending but not who you're sending it to.
All of the people attempting to hack into the DoD, Bank of America and so forth come in a distant second so he will just ignore them.
He/She wont ignore them... They will make great headlines, followed by lots of promises to regulate/police the internet to protect american (business) interests.
IANAwhatever but I thought what was patented was the way these genes are found/isolated. Any drug/treatment that affects these genes will use that method.
The Millennium Falcon was unique. Not only could it travel faster than light, it could travel faster than length!!!
It travelled 18 parsecs in less than 12 parsecs. Thats compression of physical space of over 33%. Just imagine a data center where you could fit 19 inch rack mount cabinets in a 13 inch space or 56U in a 42U cabinet.
I dont see why you're comparing MS to congress. Why not compare it to being eaten by a shark (with frikkin laser beams if thats your thing) or abducted by aliens.
Congress doesn't have a history of lying to people... oh hang on Congress doesn't have a history of screwing the public for money/business interests... wait a minute.. Congress... errr.. never mind
Now the question is, you make them private, as your neighbor do I still pay taxes for your internet and cable service if I decide I want to use TWC instead? Now I'm paying [Tax]+TWC$.
Yes you do. Just like with public healthcare even if you dont use it, your taxes still fund it. You get to choose who gets elected and they choose how to spend your tax money.
I wonder how long this will last. The IFPI/RIAA/MPAA/AP/FACT/Whoever will keep making more and more demands until eventually they'll go after Google too.
How long until they start asking for Google to unlist a site that has something infringing their copyright? How long until they start asking for IPs of people who searched for copyright infringing material? How long until they ask Google to only list 'authorized' links for copyrighted search terms?
Google is one of the few companies visibly making a lot of money off the internet these days. They'll all want a bigger piece of Google's pie before long.

It was to cover up the fact that the faculty spent $400k at last year's xmas party on caviar.
Why not get a TV? Tesco in the UK do 1920x1080 TVs around 20.1 inches.
1% would be 5.100.720 km, which is 2258x2258 km
It could be 40075.02km long and 127.28km wide.
In fact I'm guessing its the part of the earth covered by the big red stripe that marks the equator.
I'm sure Google is more than happy with the current situation too. It does a good job of killing the competition.

The European Parliament ruled that the 3 strikes policy was illegal. If the person is caught and found guilty by a court then it should be ok.
You should start by admitting you have a problem.

What do they get by buying EA?
A major games software firm to help them sell their new Apple games console.
Apple is very good at selling easy to use hardware to consumers. A games console/media center box fits in with their strategy.
They already have a marketplace to sell the games from.

Also... uTorrent isnt open source.
Some software uses IE embedded. Valve's Steam & the HTML help system both do and I'm sure theres plenty more too.
"For those not interested in upgrading to IE8 at this time, the MSDN released information back in January on how to keep IE8 off your machine."
