Do you have any idea how large a short porn movie can get? Imagine a DSL or cable connection running 24/7 downloading all movies available many times over (we're talking common man here, we know he won't check the file size much less hash and be easily fooled by a simple name change, so "Paris Does It.mpg" and "ParisHiltonHomeMovie.mpg" will both be downloaded). One can easily reach the terabyte needs this way.
Ya know, mate, there is this new thingie over which you can send your data for a ride over a distance, to be stored in another machine elsewhere. Them guys call it the Internet.
So, besides County judges (does this exist in US?), State judges and Federal judges you propose the creation of Virtual Judges, to oversee the applicaiton of law in the Internet?
Very true, if don't nkow what you are doing

Out of the box Swing is amazingly ugly. The people choosing default colors at Sun could well be substituted by a randomizer without a difference in results. I mean, who was the genius who thought purple bars in a menu were cute?
Now, when you need to change that quickly and without much overload, there are ways. A little known global HashTable called UIDefaults lets you change just about everything on the visual interface without having to write your own LookAndFeel (which you obviously can do too, for very large projects). You can have your scrollbars, menus, etc in any colour, size and shape, using any font. You can easily change all default colours without having to set every control. After a while the ugliness ceases to be a problem.
First, never leave your irony detector home, either you will keep missing it.
Second, you don't invade countries with real WMDs, because countries with real WMDs will use it and turn several key electoral districts into dust. Better keep playing on countries with just hear-say WMDs, those are safer.
It is a shame that such a bunch of liers, obviously finnanced by the Microsoft Marketing Department, is allowed to use Tocqueville's name. The man must be almost rising from his grave to do them justice.
Anyway, a quote of his seems to apply:"In order to enjoy the inestimable benefits that the liberty of the press ensures, it is necessary to submit to the inevitable evils it creates..."
All is pretty clear: the Alexis de Tocqueville Foundation is nothing more than a front-end to third-party interests, the Foundation agenda is clearly determined by the ammount of money payed by its clients and the Foundantion and its members are willing to say and do anything, no matter how dishonnest, to please their clients.
It is now just a matter using every opportunity to show the evidence to the press so the harm they can do is minimized. Until Microsoft chooses another "Foundation" to fund...
European philosophy and European social science ideas in general have an amazing tendency to get heavily suggared when crossing the Atlantic. Being Intel one of those quintessential American companies, I guess one shouldn't be surprised. Hasn't anyone warned this guys that Guy Debord is really dead?
Had Microsoft released it, wouldn't it be a trojan horse anyway? It will slow down your computer, transmit personal data to Microsoft and, if past versions history serves as comparison, open your computer wide to all sorts of attacks. Thinking of it, perhaps the version he downloaded is an alpha including only the "slow down, transmit and open" subsystems.
First, I believe he was making a joke. Second, merely having sex won't usually do. Sometimes people want something their partners are not willing to provide, sometimes people want just to have sex with someone else, etc. This has nothing to do with being a lousy husband/wife, but with human nature.
The console business is about selling games, not machines.
Nintendo did it many times already and got away with it, reselling old classics revitalized to the new platform. Mario Kart, for instance, was a major hit for N64 and the game cube version was a best seller all over again. The Zelda series spawn over two generations of gamers already.
And that's exactly the problem, it's the same thing as paying 'protection' money to the mafia.
Which is a pretty sound decision if you are a small business in a mob dominated neighbourhood without hope for 24/7 police protection. You may not like it because it sets an example others might follow, but your company or your job are not at stake...
In a few years they will be able to match the fingerprint in the bill (scanned by the cashier) with a national fingerprint database (build to increase homeland security, to be used only by law enforcement agencies but eventually sold to third parties). Then the only way out will be the very high or the vbery low tech (either you can erase your records or you grow and make everything you eat, wear and use). Resistence is probably useless.
When convenience nears zero, the machine has been dismounted into its smallest components and each component is mantained in a separate safe room at a different geographic location. In the limit, security is infinite when the machine being secured does not exist anymore and cannot be re-assembled - ie, it has been reduced to its original atoms and those were scattered in different places.
I, for one, am sick and tired of going into a store to buy the magnificient Mandrake comic books for the kids only to have some nerd spend the better part of an hour trying to convince me I should have some unknown comic with a red-hatted guy in it.
And that is what he is joking about - almost a century is gone and our best scientists still can't come up with a name capable of capturing John and Jane Public's imagination.:)
...in the back of room, in a tone certain to make you know you shouldn't have forgotten the one "logy" that all but turned Evolution upside down from the sixties on...:)
The phrase "a reputable Russian monitoring site" only makes sense if you think monitoring is a reputable business. I don't consider doubleclick reputable. I don't think anything in, near or around the advertsing industry can be reputable. But that's just me, move on, nothing to see here.
The fastest you have a running program, the better. Everything else, nice as it may be, is accessory. If you want to read something buy a book, I garantee you will find better entertainment. If you want to understand a program, read the docs, the comments and the diagrams.
They are very strange, with wierdly excessive days. Also remember, the Gregorian calendar is full of surprises and tricks and completely Pope controlled. Nobody asked questions when Gregory XIII said that the day after October 4, 1582 would be October 15, 1582. Nobody that survived to see October 16, that is. In this Patriot days we live you'd better stop asking funny questions.
Making me a little annoyed, close the tab, examine the link closely for a typo, retype it correctly if I am *really* interested and putting a small flag next to the sender name in my mental danger/clueless list. No virus, no popups, no hidden tricks. Mozilla rules.:)

Take a look at the "neo-catastrophists" and the resulting Gould's and Eldredge's work on punctuated equilibrium.
