You are as unsecure as we 24/7 Online Junkies are !
Because if you use a traffic monitor on your incomming traffic even not in a worm epidemia you will recognize many requests even per minute to the infamous hole for example "ms.blaster" used to infect systems,
so the argument of your friend is weak, everything longer than 3-20 Minutes, increases the risk of an infection of an unprotected system, even the 3 minutes do not say that you can´t got infected.
Here is an experiment I ran on 22.11.05 @ 22:00 (GMT+1), I installed a fresh and unpatched win2k on one of my old machines, and brought it direct online with no firewall between,
I have done this 3 times with win2k (hd-image-restoration) and 3 times with win-xp(release),
the time it took to infect the systems was from 3 up to 20 minutes, that´s why it doesn´t really matter how long you are online, if there is a hole and a worm spreading it´s the best option to have a firewall installed and running, because most attacks will be stopped on it instantly, in the case the fw was configured in the right way, "DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING, Reduce the programs which are allowed to send data to the net", exceptions are optional (Teamspeak, VOIP,..) not default.
1.) install a firewall 2.) install anti-spyware & anti-vir software 3.) run these things frequently
even if your system runs fine, this is no sign of an absence of spyware or backdoor-programs, there is spyware in so many programs,
to protect your system is the best way, because anytime it´s a huge workload to remove the unwanted programms or even to be secure to reinstall & configure the complete OS,
what you also can do if you have Win2k or WinXP set a password for your user account and for the administrator,
because I´m one of the persons which was/is called when the system messes up, what I find then is mostly a complete absence of security, even commercial computer sellers leave out things like the Admin password, and this is not a random finding, I find these things frequently.
1.) artists need money to live and be productive 2.) artists need consumers who appreciate their art work, and pay for them 3.) consumers need artists too, because artists are the basic glue which upholds and inspires our culture, every decade is mostly described by their artists, and the artwork,

<b>artwork belongs to both society and creator </b>
so as I wrote in the subject it´s a two way relationship where no side can exist without the other, so from my point of view if you are an artist and create artwork, on the one hand you should have the right to sell your artwork, and you should have the right to prosecute those people who sell your creations, because this is a really damage in your oportunity to sell your artwork, but persecuting private fileshares, which could not pay for all artwork they have on their HDs aren´t really a loss,
because most of them still buy the artwork they appreciate most, they are consumers who are willing to pay for artwork.
But accepting that you created artwork and release it to the public you also must accept that since release you don´t own your creation entirely anymore, it becomes part of the cultural heritage of a group, a society or even the worlds cultural heritage.
So concluding this, and citing what was said in a thread above, the more people you take to court the more bitter people there will be, the more consumers you will lose.
<b>The copyright has gone mad since the "Mickey Mouse" - act induced by Bono.</b>

Artwork isn´t pure commercial, because it´s part of our culture.

I concur, and I see you did notice that in the news there is never or less mentioned a hard number refering to the "real" speed which the launchvehicle had?
Anytime they say "as twice as fast than spaceshuttle"
you mentioned "10 times faster than a bullet"
From my point of view this "relativism" isn´t good, it teaches especially non technical people or even kids, not to refer to the hard facts first, and using a relation to make this fact or high speed seizable in the second, it also misses out things to mention which could cause huge errors
1.) "as twice as fast than space shuttle" to escape the earth´s gravity field you need to accelerate to 11 km/s the space shuttle simply does not exceed this value much, because the space shuttle is an orbiting vessel, not used for space exploration, and using a higher acceleration, puts higher physical stress to the astronauts, that´s why it´s so _slow_
2.) "10x faster than the average Joe Bullet"
there is no standard speed for a bullet, for example using my.22 rifle I can choose three different types of ammo
a.) slow speed b.) normal c.) high speed
for example the austrian army´s "steyr aug" had to be modified so that the bullet is not too fast so usage of the weapon would not violate international laws.
so which bullet did the speaker think of when he spoke of "Joe C. Average Bullet" ?
.357 Magnum or one of the three bullets I use in my.22 ?
But you are right;) this rocket was faster than superman, but actually we are rotating arround the galactical inner core at a speed of 200 km/s that´s why we lost superman;)

5.) poorly/no attention to basic human or civil rights (Tienamen masacre, death penalty to people of the religious "Fallun Gong" group, death penalty to muslims in east china, suppressed tibet, and so on) death penalty as the penalty of choice fast sentenced fast executed, and before public exposition in a sports stadium, later use of the dead bodies as organ donors,
when they want to have a person executed, then they do this under high treason, or mostly "actions which are suspectable to subversion or revolution", as the fallun gong people have been sentenced under.
In china the life of a panda is more worth than a humans life, china is a economic prospering country but also a country with blood under the economic boots, and blood on the diplomatic hands they shake.
(*)for example I watched a documentation on german public television (ARD) where a town was shown in china where the communism is still practised, but for the sacrifice of a orwellsh 1984 impersonation, the suvialiance counsil can any time and anywhere visit peoples homes, and search for tidy homes, if the homes are untidy to often and the people do not follow the counsils order to tidy up, they have to leave the town, and how could you wonder, the typical "Mao Ze Dong" workers look is the common look for the people there, but when they follow the rules they have no problems and are socially secured, so the town has cheap workers for the fabrics owned by the town and they make money, many money.
when you read a european text the meaning is (mostly)
- mega - million - 10^6 - giga - billion - "Milliarde"(german) - 10^9 (less used B.E. "milliard")
"Billion"(german as most other countries do) - 10^12
in Great Britian through the US influence the "trillion" can be used for both 10^12 and 10^18 so a reader must pay attention or a writer whos aware of this pre/postfix multipliers should add the equal exponent, so it will be easy to understand for readers from all countries.
Do as before, it´s good what you do, do the best you can
- save energy - use insulation, improve insulation, (it works as a two way effect, a good insulation stops heat from escaping in the winter, and in summer stops heat from wandering in (with a house with a good insulation you need less power too heat up your house in the winter, and you need less power for your aircooler in the summer, because the chill is preserved as in a fridge )
The problem is, that the processes involved in trees and the hole climate system are complex, and hard to understand, and so a single isolated findings or fact might not concur with the system, even climate isn´t the same as weather, it´s the interaction between local processes and global processes.
On the one hand, tree-letters reflect light (as brigther the letters are, the more light is reflected) and trees also have a cooling ability too, they transfer water from the roots to the letters where it evaporates and the process of evaporation transfers heat through the vapour, and so providing an insulating layer atop of the ground, preserving the humidity within the ground, by limiting the vapour from the ground through the layer of trees.
Even trees/wood keep the surrounding area cooler, than bare rocks can do, the darker the rocks the less they are reflecting the light, the hotter they are.
You can simply check this while walking in the wood and off the wood on a hot summer day, under the trees it´s cooler, and if you ever made a walk on rocky grounds on a hot day, you´ll starve too reach a wood or even a single tree to rest, but trees and especially their roots also have an anti-erosion effect, it´s visible there where wood got destroyed in favor of agriculture, especially visible in brazil,
the ground under the rain-forest, is a 2-5(max) meters layer of earth, when you burn all the trees you can do a 2 years agriculture, furtilized through the charred trees, (the expensive trees are choped before) but after the ground is degraded and leached, the countrymen leave the bare grounds.
Naturally in the rain-forest it rains, and so the rain erodes the degraded grounds and what you can see than is where the rain-forrest is based on.. rocks, pure rocks, hard to bring back, the rain-forest with it´s micro-climate has a stabilizing effect on the global climate.. so planting alternative trees, is a try to substitute the binding of CO2 in biomass, but this must be also said for a limited time, as long as the tree lives.
And there is even a historical missmatch, because in days before the industrial revolution, there was extremly more wood, the rain forest in south america eroded dramatically over the years, even europe was widly covered with large compounding woods, there was less agrocultured land.
So you can plant the trees without worry, and without mentioning the environmental effects trees have, they are also good for children to climb or to build a tree-house.
when you get Energy through using that ramp, it will be taken from... yes the gasoline exploded in the motor, but more directly from the impulse of your moving car.. and yes many people here got it right.. CRAP idea..
but not THAT new nor.. from UK.. (this might sound bit like chekov;) ) but a system like this was presented in ca. 1993 on a german show on tv concerning popular science and experiments.. called "Knoff Hoff", - Mythbusters without being such extrem awkward - (it´s an adaption of KNOW HOW.. to the german-only speakers, who aren´t able to articulate the english term)
and that´s why it´s a crap idea.. you have higher emission of CO2 from your car because you power this system, ok it will not pay that much when it´s your car only but when you sum all up.. you will see these ramps and who ever use them to drain energy from cars, deserve to be called energy-thieves.
there is a small difference between beating somebody up and flaming,
the first is suppressing free speach and a violation to human rights, the second is using free speach, but I concur, poorly worded, not remarkable in a discussion.

intellegent design and creatianism have backdoored themselves into classes silently and now somebody opposes this undermining strategy by pointing out loud that I.D. and Creationism has nothing to do with sience and so should not be tought in public schools. then he is a threat to people who pursue such a tactic,
but I would say he should withstand the presure and pursue a scientific debunking of ID (which is mostly the same than creationism, except with pseudo scientific phrases among ) or we will see wichtes on the stake again.
1.) yes coffee is an ultimate cure for nearly every desease even AIDS 2.) it´s a product by Idiotic Design, so it must be good 3.) it´s black, bitter and your mouth stinks after consumption
It´s the 100th time that somebody has found out what coffee can do, or better is expected to do, these/. postings sound the same that producer of convenience foods say about their products, they can help loosing weight, live longer, make you less poop and so on, but do they have the slightest proove ?
No, they have mostly selfpayed researchers saying what they want, it´s like a MS funded study do you believe ?
Do you know what Sir W. Churchill would say to these studies, mostly based on statistic evaluation instead of research ?
Mindstorms is part of the "Lego technic"(so called in Germany) - line
when commercials ran on tv in my childhood, it was the way like "construct everything you want", from gear boxes to worm gears,
and hell now I´m studying mechanical engneering, this is what Lego-Technic has driven me to,
Lego-Technic(includes Mindstorms) teaches basic mechanical understanding, and the way how things can be solved with the aid of the computer.
when I watch a Lego commercial nower days, I get a really bad feeling, when they feature the "bionicle" series, Lego tried to "MATEL"-ize their products, but it´s simple, bionicle isn´t LEGO it´s something heavily brainfucked,
when me and my pals(male and female ones) back then (^^) played with Lego and later Lego-Technic it was a free way to play how we wanted it, back then we hadn´t to save "Metrunui", well we saved "Eternia";) equip with motor powered crawling-tanks build from Lego-Technic while HE-Man steared them:D, but well we even battled the "Decepticons" the same way;)
but I would say, this was far more creative, than any "Bionicle" something can be.
My answer to the question why Lego is in financial trouble is,
they have givin up their simple but successfull strategie replaced by something I would categorize as marketing brainfuck, as a result of too much cocaine and too many brainstormings,
the simple principle of Lego was:
"Give the children something they can be creative with, show them one way, and their creativity finds many other ways to play, to construct and even to destroy.
I hope they return and get back to their roots, none the less I know it better.
The XBOX 360 is a typical product where the weight on design, was put over usability, or customer satisfaction and therefor the overheating PSU only remains a symptom,
but its the point that it even happens, dont they have a Quallity Management, to test this device under several circumstances, with orignal equipment, and not with the super stabilized PSU from the laboratory.
And when heat is a problem what also can happen, a fire, babies with hands burned touching these PSUs accidently while crawling on floor.
Despite what can happen, its a shame that Microsoft is unable, or has no will, to build a fully functioning device, which works under normal circumstances,
might be they wanted to be the first, but in consequence they are the very last in quallity,
you cant put it in your common 19" media rack, only with a plate placed on ok, but its like if car-radios wouldnt fit into the ISO-slot, because sony thinks it needs to be a bit more designed, curved or anything
why not making it more like the normal 19" HIFI devices, 2 - 3 Height Units a good aircooled and embeded, but silent PSU, detachable mounting plates for rack installation, connectors to your amplfier or dolby-receiver, there placed where it makes sense, and not where a designer thinks it looks good..
My prediction for the next heat wave, go to the store and say, "I need an A/C to run my XBOX/2*pi".
Yes you´re right, it is to be missunderstood, but it´s not what I really wanted to say, what I really wanted to say with "or combine twice"
should mean
"use one condom for the vaginal intercourse and the other for anal intercourse, if you combine both types of intercourse, so there is no transfer of bacteria from one area, exspecially the anus, to the vagina, because it can cause painfull infections within the urogenital tract",
technically this mostly applys to straight pairs;)
We are human-beings, and sex is a basic need we have, the surrogate "masturbation" is fun at all, but it's not the same, it's more fun with a partner, you don't call doody the sockpuppet;) and more interesting sex lasts you live longer, and sex more than masturbation makes people happy and more relaxed,
Condoms when used in the _right_ way, they offer a nearly 100% protection, it's less dangerous than driving or flying ^^
- Why not that interesting ?
Because it is known that babies of HIV infected mothers can be born not carrying the HI-Virus, the virus is unlikely to pass the mother-to-baby connecting membrane,
as we have this type of membrane twice(50% of the (wo)mankind;) the other 50%
only once) in our brains its called "blood-brain-barrier" if any virus goes past, it becomes extremly dangerous.
So when the birth takes place under good condiditions, the possiblity of infecting the baby is very low.
These Babies after birth show HIV-antibodies, transfered from the mother to the child, its a way the information about infections is passed to the child,
because the babies untrained imune-system, they normally disapear within 6-8 weaks, if they not, than its getting more likely that the baby is HIV infected.
- What exactly does the test for the HIV, really do ?
It does not really test for the HIV its a test decting HIV antibodies.
- What is the lethal dose ?
The medical-community speculates, that depending on the condidition of imune-system you need to be infected by a minimum amount of HIV, so that the virus can hide in your imune-system, and not getting destroyed by it.
So he is is lucky but not that unique I would say, because the test should have made - which is common - twice with a period of time between, to correct these errors out, and to double check the test itself.
PRO Condoms
In the end AIDS remains a deadly and painfull illness, and the HI-virus remains a hardly to be controlled infection, with heavy side effects of the drugs.
There is only one way to protect YOU, and YOUR LOVED ONE,
or your desired one (- night stand).
Use a normal condom for vaginal intercourse and oral intercourse, use a thicker condom or two combined for anal intercourse, do not swallow sperm,
these guidlines apply to straight and gay people equally, and even
to people infected with HIV, two HI-virus-subgroups are twice as deadly.
A condom does not only protect you from HIV, but also protects from HEP-B and HEP-C, which both are even more deadly than HIV-infections,
and therefor more widespread.
HEP : hepatitis
death type :
the so called "liver coma"
Liver stops its essential functions, which cannot be reproduced like the kidneys function, the body poisens itself, short time after becoming unconscious, with short awake periods, followed by multiple organ disfunction,
and in the end, Joe Black.
When you have seen somebody dying from liver coma you start to think twice about alocohol and condoms.

or fact might not concur with the system, even climate isn´t the same as weather, it´s the interaction between local processes and global processes.
On the one hand, tree-letters reflect light (as brigther the letters are, the more light is reflected) and trees also have a cooling ability too,
they transfer water from the roots to the letters where it evaporates and the process of evaporation transfers heat through the vapour, and so providing an insulating layer atop of the ground, preserving the humidity within the ground,
by limiting the vapour from the ground through the layer of trees.
Even trees/wood keep the surrounding area cooler, than bare rocks can do,
the darker the rocks the less they are reflecting the light, the hotter they are.
You can simply check this while walking in the wood and off the wood
on a hot summer day, under the trees it´s cooler, and if you ever made
a walk on rocky grounds on a hot day, you´ll starve too reach a wood or even a single tree to rest, but trees and especially their roots also have an anti-erosion effect, it´s visible there where wood got destroyed in favor
of agriculture, especially visible in brazil,
the ground under the rain-forest, is a 2-5(max) meters layer of earth,
when you burn all the trees you can do a 2 years agriculture,
furtilized through the charred trees, (the expensive trees are choped before)
but after the ground is degraded and leached, the countrymen leave the bare grounds.
Naturally in the rain-forest it rains, and so the rain erodes the degraded grounds and what you can see than is where the rain-forrest is based on
has a stabilizing effect on the global climate
is a try to substitute the binding of CO2 in biomass, but this must
be also said for a limited time, as long as the tree lives.
And there is even a historical missmatch, because in days before the
industrial revolution, there was extremly more wood, the rain forest in south america eroded dramatically over the years, even europe was widly covered with large compounding woods, there was less agrocultured land.
So you can plant the trees without worry, and without mentioning the environmental effects trees have, they are also good for children to
climb or to build a tree-house.
I bet they would not concur, but hey they are using computers too ;)
when you get Energy through using that ramp, it will be taken from ... .. and yes many people here got it right .. ..
.. from UK .. (this might sound bit like chekov ;) ) but .. called "Knoff Hoff", .. to the german-only speakers, who aren´t able to articulate the english term)
.. you have higher emission of CO2 .. you will see these
yes the gasoline exploded in the motor, but more directly from the impulse of
your moving car
CRAP idea
but not THAT new nor
a system like this was presented in ca. 1993 on a german show on tv
concerning popular science and experiments
- Mythbusters without being such extrem awkward -
(it´s an adaption of KNOW HOW
and that´s why it´s a crap idea
from your car because you power this system, ok it will not pay that much
when it´s your car only but when you sum all up
ramps and who ever use them to drain energy from cars, deserve to be
called energy-thieves.
there is a small difference between beating somebody up and flaming,
the first is suppressing free speach and a violation to human rights,
the second is using free speach, but I concur, poorly worded, not remarkable
in a discussion.
if you don´t think the way that they want you to think, ..
you get suicide bombed the personal flavour of killing in the 21st century
intellegent design and creatianism have backdoored themselves into classes silently and now somebody opposes this undermining strategy by pointing
out loud that I.D. and Creationism has nothing to do with sience and so should not be tought in public schools. then he is a threat to people who pursue such a tactic,
but I would say he should withstand the presure and pursue a scientific debunking of ID (which is mostly the same than creationism, except with
pseudo scientific phrases among ) or we will see wichtes on the stake again.
1.) yes coffee is an ultimate cure for nearly every desease even AIDS
/. postings sound the same that producer of convenience foods say about their products, they can help loosing weight, live longer, make you less poop and so on, but do they have the slightest proove ?
2.) it´s a product by Idiotic Design, so it must be good
3.) it´s black, bitter and your mouth stinks after consumption
It´s the 100th time that somebody has found out what coffee can do, or
better is expected to do, these
No, they have mostly selfpayed researchers saying what they want,
it´s like a MS funded study do you believe ?
Do you know what Sir W. Churchill would say to these studies, mostly based
on statistic evaluation instead of research ?
ACK
;) equip with motor powered crawling-tanks build from Lego-Technic while HE-Man steared them :D, ;)
:
Mindstorms is part of the "Lego technic"(so called in Germany) - line
when commercials ran on tv in my childhood, it was the way like
"construct everything you want", from gear boxes to worm gears,
and hell now I´m studying mechanical engneering, this is what Lego-Technic
has driven me to,
Lego-Technic(includes Mindstorms) teaches basic mechanical understanding,
and the way how things can be solved with the aid of the computer.
when I watch a Lego commercial nower days, I get a really bad feeling,
when they feature the "bionicle" series, Lego tried to "MATEL"-ize
their products, but it´s simple, bionicle isn´t LEGO it´s something
heavily brainfucked,
when me and my pals(male and female ones) back then (^^) played with Lego and later Lego-Technic it was a free way to play how we wanted it, back then we hadn´t to save "Metrunui", well we saved "Eternia"
but well we even battled the "Decepticons" the same way
but I would say, this was far more creative,
than any "Bionicle" something can be.
My answer to the question why Lego is in financial trouble is,
they have givin up their simple but successfull strategie replaced by
something I would categorize as marketing brainfuck, as a result of
too much cocaine and too many brainstormings,
the simple principle of Lego was
"Give the children something they can be creative with, show them one way,
and their creativity finds many other ways
to play, to construct and even to destroy.
I hope they return and get back to their roots, none the less I know it better.
The XBOX 360 is a typical product where the weight on design, was put over
..
usability, or customer satisfaction and therefor the overheating PSU only remains a symptom,
but its the point that it even happens, dont they have a Quallity Management,
to test this device under several circumstances, with orignal equipment,
and not with the super stabilized PSU from the laboratory.
And when heat is a problem what also can happen, a fire, babies
with hands burned touching these PSUs accidently while crawling on floor.
Despite what can happen, its a shame that Microsoft is unable, or
has no will, to build a fully functioning device, which works
under normal circumstances,
might be they wanted to be the first, but in consequence they are the very last in quallity,
you cant put it in your common 19" media rack, only with a plate placed on ok,
but its like if car-radios wouldnt fit into the ISO-slot, because sony thinks it needs to be a bit more designed, curved or anything
why not making it more like the normal 19" HIFI devices,
2 - 3 Height Units a good aircooled and embeded, but silent PSU,
detachable mounting plates for rack installation, connectors to your amplfier or dolby-receiver, there placed where it makes sense, and not where
a designer thinks it looks good
My prediction for the next heat wave, go to the store and say,
"I need an A/C to run my XBOX/2*pi".
force MS to only sell WinXP-N on the european market,
;)
this would help third party devellopers a bit too.
but what they will rule when ReactOS XP is released
Yes you´re right, it is to be missunderstood,
;)
but it´s not what I really wanted to say, what I really wanted to say with
"or combine twice"
should mean
"use one condom for the vaginal intercourse and the other for anal intercourse,
if you combine both types of intercourse, so there is no transfer of bacteria
from one area, exspecially the anus, to the vagina, because it can cause
painfull infections within the urogenital tract",
technically this mostly applys to straight pairs
We are human-beings, and sex is a basic need we have, the surrogate "masturbation" is fun at all, but it's not the same, it's more fun with a partner, ;) and more interesting sex lasts you live longer,
you don't call doody the sockpuppet
and sex more than masturbation makes people happy and more relaxed,
Condoms when used in the _right_ way, they offer a nearly 100% protection, it's less
dangerous than driving or flying ^^
- Why not that interesting ? Because it is known that babies of HIV infected mothers can be born not carrying the HI-Virus, the virus is unlikely to pass the mother-to-baby connecting membrane, as we have this type of membrane twice(50% of the (wo)mankind ;) the other 50%
only once) in our brains its called "blood-brain-barrier" if any virus goes past, it becomes extremly dangerous.
So when the birth takes place under good condiditions, the possiblity of infecting the baby is very low.
These Babies after birth show HIV-antibodies, transfered from the mother to the child, its a way the information about infections is passed to the child,
because the babies untrained imune-system, they normally disapear within 6-8 weaks, if they not, than its getting more likely that the baby is HIV infected.
- What exactly does the test for the HIV, really do ?
It does not really test for the HIV its a test decting HIV antibodies.
- What is the lethal dose ?
The medical-community speculates, that depending on the condidition of imune-system you need to be infected by a minimum amount of HIV, so that the virus can hide in your imune-system, and not getting destroyed by it.
So he is is lucky but not that unique I would say, because the test should have made - which is common - twice with a period of time between, to correct these errors out, and to double check the test itself.
PRO Condoms
In the end AIDS remains a deadly and painfull illness, and the HI-virus remains a hardly to be controlled infection, with heavy side effects of the drugs.
There is only one way to protect YOU, and YOUR LOVED ONE,
or your desired one (- night stand).
Use a normal condom for vaginal intercourse and oral intercourse, use a thicker condom or two combined for anal intercourse, do not swallow sperm,
these guidlines apply to straight and gay people equally, and even
to people infected with HIV, two HI-virus-subgroups are twice as deadly.
A condom does not only protect you from HIV, but also protects from HEP-B and HEP-C, which both are even more deadly than HIV-infections,
and therefor more widespread.
HEP : hepatitis
death type :
the so called "liver coma"
Liver stops its essential functions, which cannot be reproduced like the kidneys function, the body poisens itself, short time after becoming unconscious, with short awake periods, followed by multiple organ disfunction,
and in the end, Joe Black.
When you have seen somebody dying from liver coma you start to think twice about alocohol and condoms.
