I understand the idea was to SPAM the Spammers.
But who exactly did they span? The spoofed addresses? The owner of the original IP?
Younger people are used to reading everything on screens.
As a young person, 22, I prefer reading paper books over reading on a screen.
I agree the other guy, book seem much more "cozy" then a screen. PDAs and the like are better then computer screens. I've even read books on my graphing calculator, but I like the physical book much better.
So either do your job, or stop fucking around making babies if you can't handle them.
Both of my parents are teachers, and I can't tell you how many times I've heard this from them.
They've both taught in the inner-city and have had to deal with all sorts of parents.
There are quite a lot of parents who think their children angels and could never do anything wrong, even if they've been called in for the same thing five times. Not to be racist, but these "bad" parents tend to be single black women. Students with fathers in the home tend to behave better.
Parents need to learn to take care of their kids and not just dump them off at school and make them someone else's problem for a few hours. Fathers need to stay with the family. Be interested in what your kids are doing, but don't smoother them too much.
Just be a good parent, thats all that needs to be done.
I've substitute taught, and I'm in favor of this legislation just to keep kids from wasting their computer time at school on networking sites and trying to one-up each other. They should ban yahoo mail while they're at it.
This should NOT be enforced by the government.
It SHOULD be enforced by teacher/librarian watching the room and possibly filtering on the school level.
Extra legislation to make people do what they are already suppose to be doing?
This is a school-level issue. The school/district should make their rules and enforce them.
I just hate when I'm sitting there watching TV in my underwear, when suddenly some Paladin or some other "hero" comes in and starts rummaging through my stuff looking for a loose gold or maybe a potion.
It's the fact of the matter that sequels are actually harder to make than completely new plotlines, because there's no easy way to deal with all the equipment/experience/magic/statistics/etc. gathered by the end of the first game at the start of the sequel.
Actually Suikoden 1-3 was nice that you could load your save from 1 into 2, and your save from 2 into 3. The characters that you could recruit again weren't as powerfull as they were when you finished the other game, but they are still leveled up with some of the same equipment.
That a hacker had to use a sledgehammer to cause them signifigant harm shows that Blue Security was/is doing something correctly.
These attacks do NOT mean Blue Security is doing something correctly. The attacks DO show that Blue Security has been successful at pissing off their target.
And what if the one killed happens to be the boss? Or the only guy who knows the root password?
We call it the "What if someone gets hit by a bus plan" here.
Keep coworkers informed of you projects and their status. Like via email or a ticket tracking system.
Keep the root passwords in sealed envelops in a fire-proof case. A couple of people have the key for, or know where the keys are.
Its not completely perfect, like if everyone gets knocked out at the same time. It does help to reduce those specific risks, however.
I've been know to browse sites on my two machines at work ( with different realworld IP addresses ), then visit it later when I get home. So I would appear as three unique visitors. Cookies wouldn't solve this problem.
Using just cookies wouldn't work if a person used multiple browsers on their machines, like me.
A Hybrid would work best.
I like using lynx so I can block cookies and not have to deal with adds.:-)
But what about classical music composed in the early 20th century or previous to that? People frequently make recordings of that kind of thing freely available.
The copyright of the *RECORDING* belongs to the *RECORDER*, so if they wanted to give it away for free they can. However, just becuase they gave it to you for free doesn't mean you can copy it, then give it away. You would still need their permission.
What about rock or pop music that copyright holders give away for free? My band put quite a few songs on mp3.com at high quality, when it was a worthwhile site, even though those songs were part of copyrighted albums.
Like I mentioned above, you/your band can give away your recordings for free if you have the copyright. The people you give it too *CAN NOT* distribute copies, unless you say they can.
If people are distributing those songs in compilations or via torrents, we could legitimately go after them in a court of law.
If you wanted too, yes you could, UNLESS you gave permission for it to be distributed.
The downloader has no way to distinguish between the music uploaded legally and that uploaded illegally. It is the same copyrighted material, of the same quality, and bears the same title.
Common sense is the key! Is the music of well known bands on there legally? Probably not. You can check the band's website to see if the music is listed as freely distributed. Or maybe even get it there.
Its better error on the cautious side in these matters.
But if you really want to download music that maybe be there illegally, I won't stop you. Just don't come crying if you get sued. You made the choice, you get the consequences.
See? There ya go. You already know how the prequel is going to end:-)
That didn't stop Lucas from making his prequels. That didn't stop the people who knew what was going to happen from seeing them anyway...:P
That being said, sometimes know what the results will be can drive suspense, especially if things seem to be going in an direction away from whats *SUPPOSE* to happen.
Still need to end up with expected results anyway, otherwise people will complain, like when a certain character says she remembers he real mother when she was very young, but in a prequel we find out the woman died in childbirth?
EU will NEVER extradite to possibilities of having a death panalty, its against human rights.
Yeah, but the poster you replied to didn't mention anything about death penalty cases.
He did mention a man circumventing copyright measures in Russia, then being prosecuted in the US. And I remember a few years a man shot and killed an abortion docter near where I live, the man either fled to Portugal or France, I can't remember. They only extradited him back after the US agreed to not seek the death penalty.
The point being made before was that if the US wants you for a crime, and they know where you are, they pretty much can or find a way to get you. Like in the case of the man I mentioned, they can always work something out.
They *COULD* bring Data back. Just add in a flashback to him doing a "Android-mindmelt" with "B-4", or even downloading into the ship's computer, then later use that copy to overwrite Lore.
But then again, using flashbacks to add in parts into a previous story doesn't really work.
Eventually an astronomy student will create his own lens after being told he can not modify a telescope built by someone else. Then other astronomers will add more parts to this lens, and the LINUX telescope will be completed. These enthusiasts will then proclaim their telescope the best every created, and some will claim that is impervious to space dust that plagues the popular telescopes. This telescope will battle other popular telescopes with its main claim that it makes astronomy cheaper to do.
What if you know your action will hurt somebody else (more than it will benefit you) and you also know you'll get away with it?
(Unless consequences include feeling bad about yourself)
Yes, guilt is a consequence. As is someone seeking revenge for feeling that they have been wronged, however the person seeking revenge also takes on responsibility for his/her actions.
As long as someone knows what the consequences are, and is willing to accept responsibility for them, then they should be able to take the action.
If someone steals something, they should do so knowing they might get caught and face the consequences.
Does that make it ok to steal? No
Can they somehow try to get out of it? Yes, as long they are willing to accept those possible additional consequences.
Does that make it ok to try to get out of trouble? That depends on your own view, in mine it does as long as you accept the consequences, which could include loss of creditability.
My point is that every action has consequences. Guilt, revenge, loss of creditability, fines, incarceration, if you are willing to accept these results, then you are free to choose the action that causes them. That does make an action "right", but it doesn't restrain you from not performing it.

Some people's standards are just too low. Why else would they be busy posting on here anyway...
I'll go build my own Internet!

You mean like the driver's ID number, Creditcard numbers, and social security numbers we already have?

Birdo is also a selectable character in Mario Party 7
How is that?
Yeah, but then someone will take the MACINTOSH telescope, clone its lens, and release the clones with added security holes.
Really?
Only an idiot would that as a code for their luggage!
Mine's 12345....
I know my sister's passwords all contain "42".
