This is the page the author of the article said he accessed to get the shell script which he would not have gotten if the settings had the directory tree turned off and I feel is the authors point.
I'm asking if that truly is Ubuntus default or if the fuckheads at Fox changed it. I'm not saying that Gentoo is superior I'm just saying that its default is to turn it off to establish a basis of comparison since that is the Linux version I am most familiar with. Each person has their own flavor and I'm just curious if this is a security hole since I feel that if the directory tree is on by default that is a major security hole because I wouldn't want others to browse the site tree with files such as the one mentioned in the article.
I wonder if they used ubuntus defaults for apache, too bad they didn't use gentoo, the default install turns off that directory tree. Anyone know if this is the default setting for ubuntu, the lnux os listed by apache in the directory tree.
This would hurt the record stores because there is an alternative for computer users with internet and they lose the business of non computer users that would have gone to their store and potentially purchased other albums. I don't beleive iTunes would refuse to carry his music and Prince could start his own label if he wanted to.
What about the gyro mouse. I used one of those bad boys in college and it was popular among CS & IS students giving their project presentations in the school auditorium. This might not be the one I used but it's still a mid air mouse and came before the wiimote.

No, that defeats the purpose and says "We give up, have your DRM protected content." It may be easier to run Windows applications but in the end the companies win. They will think we have accepted DRM and we will lose the rights we have to personal use with content. We need to stand strong and show companies that DRM will erode their bottom lines more than not having it. In the case of the UK you need to make your voice heard to the politicians in the House of Commons and get political pressure placed on BBC.
I used to work at a help desk at my college and one of the biggest annoyances was users telling us the one thing we already knew, the printer says low toner. That, we knew, was a lie a majority of the time. People could still print pages out that had no lack of toner. If it got light in some areas but was strong in others we would tilt the cartridge back and forth a couple of times and get a bunch more good prints out of it. All too often the HP laser jet that we had would report it was low on toner well before it was actually low on toner and out of toner.
My eyes and ears burn from the latest crap he appends to the name Star Wars, then he asks me to bend over again to take more of the crap he's about to pack. For some reason some of us still fall for our own Jedi mind tricks that it will somehow be as good or better than the original trilogy but end up getting screwed from behind again.
Think of it this way, if a company has to pay a license fee because of a patent, then the consumer also has to pay that fee since they need to recoup the cost. So if there is a patent out there for something that a company had been developing before the patent or release before the patent they will have legal fees or license fees.
Now that its out I see that the release of the Original on DVD is worth the money. The quality is great and so what if it's only 2.1 Dolby it still kicks major arse and doesn't have any extra frills: from Lucas deciding to try and do what a budget and technology didn't allow. So all of you whiny little pissants out there should shut the f up and learn to live with what you get.
Eventually the patent should expire and at that point the market would open up and prices would drop significantly. So if you don't like the idea of Tivo then you can wait. What is so bad about patent law? It's a win-win for all. New innovations are protected ecnourageing more innovation and it gives the consumers an appetite for when the patent expires and the market really opens up.
Should we get rid of patent law because it creates a monoploy for a period of time?
Correction, it is a monoploy but it most definatly is a win in the long run based on economics and the reasons I stated above. I was thinking more of the anti-trust laws before which I sometimes mix up.
No they don't, the whole purpose of patent law allows for a developing party to be the only one allowed to make a certain innovatinve product so they can recover development costs and make a profit off of the idea. Then after a certain period of time they cannot receive funds from companies that wish to develop a product that does the same thing.
This helps encourage innovation by protecting the innovators from competition that could prevent them from recovering development costs. So in the end it does help the consumer because while at first only a few may be able pay for the cost of the product it shows to other companies that it is a product many more would be willing to buy.
There is the potential to get money for it. If you can prove who did you can take said person to court. Why? Because they spread false and malicious lies so they could be sued for slander. So if someone slandered me I could potentially get the amount of damage from moving costs, future paychecks that were lost because said slander cost me my job, any other costs that it may have caused me and some for emotional trauma.
How many people are smart enough to retaliate with a slander suit though if they have the eveidence?
Would that be enought to clear their names?
Really, Apple is trying to get its own little monoploy for its player, mayber if they played fair this wouldnt happen to them. I use Creative MP3 players because I can use at least napster or yahoo, maybe even some others. See something going on their, businesses that are smart unlike apple that is greddy and selfish and extremely stupid.
I spend most of my time in either Dark Age of Camelot or Reading. Most games out are crap that isn't worth my time. I've stopped to play F.E.A.R, Oblivion, Half-Life 2. So I would have to agree that part of the factor is MMO's, however, the poor quality and lack of decent storylines of some games is the problem. I could give half a rats arse about the visual quality of a game.
Yeah, like buying all those luxury items was most definately not a red flag that something was up. He should have high-tailed it out of the country while he had the chance but he got greedy and decided to live it up. Hope he enjoys absolute poverty in his jail cell.
Microsoft should be helping with this some as they are introducing the game rating "v-chip" into the OS so the parents can prevent them from running. Though towns should run free programs to train parents on how to use the technology. If parents are working two jobs to get their kids video games and those fluffs, then they should just quit, they dont need to waste effort on that. On the otherhand, if they are just trying to support the family then video games shouldn;t be an issue because they couldn't afford them in the first place. Parents that do only work one job and can easily afford such stuff are repsonible for learning to work the technology and the adults that are capable of handling such content and discerning that it is only a game should have the abilty to purchase that game without censorship.Parents don't need to argue with the kid, their word is final and complaints can be ignored: let the kid throw that tantrum.
I didn't get the impression that they would have to pay to send their e-mails. They would only pay to ensure they werent sent to the junk mail filter. If that isn't the case then it is a sad, sad day for e-mail. Yahoo Plus would lose too much business if that was the case since its paying users would not be able to use their e-mail addresses with companies that they want to deal with, and therefore complain and just not re-subscribe. Personaly I would switch to a new email provider.

My eyes and ears they burn. Mr. Lucas, why are you asking me to bend over again?

Mentally from sitting at the computer the amount of time that it requires.
Get an LGM in every trade in DAOC and get the rest of my characters to level 50, CL10, ML10. With my main character reaching RR5.
The problem is they would still get lost because they held the map upside down and didn't realize it.
I was under the impression that this was a well known and obvious problem for a long time. Maybe I'm wrong it's new. Meh.
Now that its out I see that the release of the Original on DVD is worth the money.
