The thing about P2P that's not the same for the rest of the internet is it's protocols are always evolving. Sure you'll be able to stop some stuff today, but you'll always be one step behind in a feudal battle against users, and in this case registered voters who may not fully agree with your ideas.
I would have thought that vale key limiting the holder to only accessing ignition and not glove compartment/trunk would be prior art to this. They are both keys that limit access for practical reasons.
If 269 votes make such a big difference there is a good reason to change the system. Such a small group of people should not have such a big influence on what happens in a country. That is, when you are serious about being a democracy. Really, these are all just symptoms of a bigger problem.
If the system where changed to a straight popular vote then 1 Vote could theoretically make the difference. The electoral college was put in place to make it so NY, California, and Texas are not the only states that decide our next president. It gives power to smaller states, makes it even worth a candidate's time to stop there, without it likely half of the states would be completely neglected by candidates.
"You can say whatever you want, as long as nobody is offended" doesn't really work.
You're exactly right, if it was about not offending anyone then it would be worthless. Freedom of speech IS about pissing people off, it protects you from legal retaliation when you offend someone. Slander and and libel(in the US) are only prosecutable if the information was known to them as false but published it anyways, as brought about by the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan case. This is not slander this is not libel, this is simply spreading the truth, and imo since the MBTA must know this, they should be punished as well.
In fairness to software engineering, if the "bad" hardware driver can crash the system, then the system is not ready for production and has more than a few show-stopping (no pun intended) bugs. Take a look at basic kernel or micro-kernel design principles and stop spreading the view that catastrophically bad design is acceptable.
I'm sorry, do you know of an operating system where talking to hardware cannot cause a panic? Even microkernels such as Mach are prone to these problems. ANY time you touch hardware there can be a problem if it's coded wrong. Even microkernels have to allow DMA for certain hardware, and bad DMA can bring down a whole system without even trying. There's a basic design flaw in how normal computers operate that requires this sort of behavior from kernels, which leads to bad drivers affecting them. If you can name one system ready for general purpose for which this isn't true I would love to hear about it.
Linux users typically praise open source software on the basis that vulnerabilities can be found easily and patched by anybody who possesses the knowledge to do so, making open source software more secure. Why should this change now?
This has nothing to do with the openness of the source code or the disclosure of vulnerabilities. Linus just doesn't want big proof of concepts for exploits in the last version of the kernel(which there will of course be people still running) to end up in this version. He doesn't want to aid script kiddies. Anyone can still find and patch parts of the code base, there's no move away from that.
Provided you are making a truly new use of the content, you are free to make money off those copyrighted images and video and sound.
This is the way the law has ALWAYS been. Copyright law is meant to protect your originality. This is why parodies are allowed, it's the thought that the parody can be as original and artistic what it's making fun of. If you create something unique then it's yours, the part where it gets messy is when you take something and call it unique when it really cant stand on its own without the piece you borrowed from somewhere else.
btw, I feel the need to mention that H2O ice doesn't sublimate, CO2 ice does.
And I feel the need to mention that Mars is not Standard Temperature and Pressure. The atmospheric pressure on Mars is about 1/100 that of Earth, I honestly don't know if that's reason enough for why H2O may experience sublimation like that, but I'm too tired right now to look it up and/or crunch some numbers and see if it does or not.
I think that you would agree that if he researches this question everyone who he pulls answers from doesn't really 'own' part of his PhD. Otherwise the only way he could 'earn' it would be to pull answers out of his ass instead of figuring out what really where the best.
Just update via apt or rpm, or whatever update manager you use. Then go download the windows version via the link/. gives you in this article and toss it into/home/~user/.local/share/Trash. Then you'll have a clean ff3 install and +1 to the record attempt.
Uhm, I think you are forgetting the part about where he did nothing illegal.
Actually I would say if it fails the Miller Test and he was publicly distributing it he should be charged like anyone else. I have not seen the pictures, but I think it feasible to launch an investigation as to whether or not he broke the law with pictures that possibly do not pass a Miller Test. Remember ignorance is not a valid excuse for breaking the law.
As a large supporter of full disclosure I would have to disagree. The only way to fix potential holes is to bring them to light. There will always be people attempting to find the next big hole in security, making it public how you can work around something may have a short term effect of feeding "script kiddies" but in the end it's undeniable that it is beneficial to security at large.
It wont bypass bitlocker if you have to put in a password as soon as you boot, but it might if you have it set up the other way.
Physical access does always mean game over, bruting(most people keep thier FDE passwords around 4 characters) and the possibility of plain text attacks exist on certain blocks.
The interesting thing is that the utility for helping impaired people is run as SYSTEM when it really doesn't have to be. I had wondered this and thought about doing the same hack before ever even seeing this video, however didn't ever bother to do it, the possibility of messing something up and having to revert it after just seemed too annoying to me.
Much like BitTorrent, Inc., TorrentSpy attempted many avenues of legitimacy. This included creating a program which allowed copyright holders to remove indexed torrents, and a policy of blocking US search requests.
Seriously, they did everything AND MORE required by the DMCA. This judge should be taken out back and shot.
Pretty simple really. All they had to do was give it a name more like "MPEG-4 AVC for Linux" and they would have been ok. It's really pretty simple, they DONT have the right to use their name in a product that isn't truly related to anything the CoreCodec company.
Lets just say for argument the DoJ is 'fixing' errors in the articles. Is that bad? It's not inherently bad for sure, but the question is when is the line crossed. Wikipedia works because of editor and moderators, which is really no different then the government in how they could effect what people think after reading an article. Luckily there's enough moderators to help push back those bad edits and temp-ban violators. "The Government" editing a page isn't any worse the someone else and Wikipedia did the right thing suspending their editing access if they did a bad edit.
But you're also forgetting that holographic drives are inherently associative(at least in theory). Which solves tons of problems that ordinary drives have with look-ups and other time consuming operations.
To be fair eMule is a very decent client. And the KAD network is one of the best DHTs. The KAD and becoming deprecated ed2k networks are still huge, if you cant find something anywhere else, you can likely find it there.
My qustion is how can more then 1% of people still be using kaZaa? The client isn't very good, the network has gone to shit, not to mention the add support and unwanted software when you install it. Sure there's K-lite and K++ but i think that most people don't use the hacked versions.
That's exactly what I say. Let them taint the.edu TLD, because it SHOULDN'T be trusted. Just because a source has the.edu tacked onto the end of it doesn't mean anything besides that the author has access to a school network. Stop making things more then what they are,.edu is just a TLD for schools to have so you don't have to go "hmm... was that dartmouth.com, dartmouth.org, dartmouth.net???"
Something that the summary missed but was reiterated twice in the actual article is that CCP is accused of seeding most of the torrents and then monitoring all IP addresses acquiring the source and then banning accounts associated with those IPs.
If they're actually seeding it themselves then I expect to hear about a lawsuit. Since that would be purely legal to download from them. If CCP is effectively giving away their src what's wrong with accepting their offer?
Actually, it is! First Sale applies to legally obtained work. If I'm allowed to give it away under first sale, then when they 'give' me it, it is mine. It's just like having a License Agreement only after you've already used the service, it's non-binding.
This is very similar to the M$ vs Zamos case. Where M$ tried to stop Zamos from selling M$ discs which said "not for retail or OEM distribution."
Whenever I hear the "who pays" question I'm dumbfounded. The consumer pays, it's the only way it can go. If the content owners "pay" then there will be more advertisements, or most things will become pay services. If the ISP pays, the consumer will pay in larger monthly bills. Everyone always pays. An expensive upgrade in a service without an increase to the consumer is a ridiculous thing to ask for.

Unfortunately, I'm using a MS mouse at work. I think I will buy another Logitech mouse to replace this one.
MS Mice are almost exclusively Logitech OEMs. Why would you replace it with a duplicate?
