Sadly His music wasn't because more people deleted his album than kept it.
And why would anyone want interactive liner notes? Does anyone actually read the liner notes anyway. (I mean uberfans do but I am not talking about them).
Music is sound and sound can be copied. If it couldn't, he would simply be blind Mr. Hewson from Finglas who sings a bit much in the pub.
I can screen cap a pixelmags mag and reassemble it and make another pdf out if it. Honestly, If you know linux you can defeat anything on the android platform. Especially considering Bluestacks exists as a android OS for Desktops. So they are just handwaving. As for the apple product, these things can work perfectly but if no one buys them (10000 or less is still no one) then it fails and it doesn't matter.
One group of 5 people who all the time they want and desire to break it open (and the skill to do it) can beat a multimillion company whose workers are paid living wages (or less in foreign countries) any day.
(Although of course if given the choice these guys want the product lifespan to be the heat death of the universe.)
Which is why the stuff is crackable within the first year. No new platform as survived 5 yrs yet. Very few survived their first year.
Devil's advocate of the parent.
I will agree with your statement on its face. However, the reasons are simple. The PS4, Xbox One, and others don't have enough interesting content to require the amount of time involved to completely break them open. As for the blu-ray, yes it has been fully cracked. HDCP master key was leaked in september of 2010 http://forums.afterdawn.com/th... if you want a more detailed explanation. Those multiple players were broke to the point Sony stopped selling them. http://hardware.slashdot.org/s... (that master key computer chip. It exists.) There is a commercial product that allows ripping of Blu-ray dvds now called AnyDVD.
This doesn't mean people haven't attempted opening them up.
http://pastebin.com/QDeRQiMY is the location of the attempt 5 days after the launch of the PS4. Idiot tweeted it and Sony nailed him to the wall. So the files are buried in the Darknet (where cp silk road and the true bottom of the barrel exists) now. http://www.breathecast.com/art... This is the current news on the XBoxOne hack attempts. While it was a red herring it means there are people actively trying.
My point is that a) there is no technology that can be used to block the willfull copying of something, if someone truly wants to. Bono is completely clueless. He is to piracy what Jennie McCarthy is to doctors trying to immunize children.
As for apple with out Jobs, it will suffer the EXACT same thing that has happened to all other formats that people discover aren't easily manipulable. No one will buy enough to warrant it remaining. It will fail. Just like 3d TV failed. Just like HD DVD failed. Until Hollywood accepts that their will acceptable losses on all products sold and stuff is allowed to return to the public domain this will continue.
Apparently (I haven't read the source docs myself), there is some similar language -- suggesting that some type of order has been served on Apple, so the canary is perhaps not dead yet -- just pining for the fjords [yes, I know, not really the correct use of this phrase].
To date, Apple has not received any orders for bulk data
What's missing is a specific reference to Section 215, suggesting that a limited Section 215 order has been served on Apple.
If its pining for the fjords then it is in fact dead. 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This canary is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! 'E's be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! He's f*ckin' snuffed it!..... THIS IS AN EX CANARY!!
agreed. The only country to successfully get anything to land and stay operational on Mars is US. Not the EU, China, Russia or India. (yes, India has a space program)
If we ignited Jupiter, what would happen to the moons orbiting it? Hmm, they would be consumed. That's why red dwarves (hi ho!) have no planets around them.
802.11w adds security to management frames:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I......which prevents this sort of silliness. You can't spoof deauth frames from other stations now, unless the WiFi network happens to be running on an older device.
Before 802.11w, you could do a passive scan, collect target MAC addresses, and then spoof deauth frames all day long, I know people used to do this at conferences or other crowded events.
And why was this stopped? Because its a form of malicious hacking.
Deauthentication messages work outside wifi encryption. It's a common wifi attack to broadcast deauth messages, then record the reauthentication of clients as they reconnect to the wireless access point. For encryption with known weaknesses (like WEP), reauthentication attempts can be analyzed to discover the network key. This attack is similar, but without the goal of discovering the key.
Apparently, the 802.11 standard states "Deauthentication is not a request; it is a notification. Deauthentication shall not be refused by either party." If the device is standards-compliant, then spamming a deauthentication message should continually knock it offline.
Which is why its illegal to craft a fake one. If the manufacturer places a warning that they are not liable if you do that then its illegal. No amount of hand waving, or hand wringing will change that. One lawsuit by a person who knows what happens and Cyborg unplug goes the way of Aereo. This Google we are talking about. Those are only in early beta. When they WANT to roll them out, nothing will stop them.
And people are ignoring that 3g can be put on them. Then what?
"It doesn't interfere with radio signals themselves"
It causes intentional interference, which is illegal for a Part 15 device.
I don't know about that... by that interpretation, any RST packet sent over Wifi would be illegal.
This is the digital equivalent of saying "Hey You! Yeah, Google Glass with MAC ID XXXXYYYY! Get off my lawn!"
The rule for Part 15 devices (which includes Google Glasses) is that they must accept any signal interference and fail gracefully, and they must not cause interference with other signals using the spectrum.
It doesn't cause any interference with the transmissions, it just sends a message on the transport layer that the device should leave.
But if that message is false then it IS interference. If you eject a device improperly in a public place you are violating the law. You are damaging property and are liable.
No matter how much you hate it, welcome to 1984.
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
The object of a camera is permanent image creation. You don't want to be a part, leave.
Oh, no, it's not "inevitable" at all. There are plenty of totalitarian places around the world where people have lost the right to take pictures; it goes right along with losing the right to free speech. We need to fight that the same doesn't happen here.
And I think AC needs to go to one of those places for a couple months. Maybe witness a beheading or two for supposedly worshiping the wrong deity.
OMG, so you are saying that all of Google's supposed evil manifesting in Comcast Google isn't evil enough. WTF?! ROTFLOL. This alone deserves five points.
Doesn't change your failure to grasp the concept of risk management. Oh since you decided to point out how it reduces to ridiculousness. Here's some latin for you: Gallus jeter fallat.
No, you don't need news from a war zone. People who live there can supply that now. People no longer need to carry wallets. They chose to. You still have this delusion that you walk in the middle a run down slum and scream obsenities that you can't be harmed. That is your problem.In reality this responsibility is called consequences. If a people knowingly goes to a dangerous location there is a chance that they can be killed. Yes they do bear responsibility of there own death. No amount of hand waving it away because you want believe that you can do what ever you want and no harm shall come to you idiocy will change the reality that there are people who will kill you simply you aren't them.
So yes a cop IS responsible when he gets shot. Why? Because he is given all the equipment to prevent this. He is payed extra. He is given a weapon and authority. Nevertheless when a people does the illegal act of shooting him, he isn't magically healed because he doesn't deserve it. NO, he made a choice to presue a person and that person made a choice as well. Both could have chosen other options. However, the cop is in the right in doing his job nevertheless he stop has to pay for his medical bills.
Very few people get mugged without making themselves attractive to the mugger. See people are lazy and doing want to modify their behavior to make them selves less attractive to those who will always do evil. And Finally you carry blame FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. BOTH positive and negative. Thats basic human nature.
Credentials are meaningless without experience. Experience can only be gained by doing. The best examples are the coders who hacked the icloud. There are craploads of people with MS in Comp sci who couldn't even comprehend that Icloud is like a safety deposit box at a bank, let alone fix the problem with the other service that allowed the break in,. (and if it turns out its good old social engineering then that makes my point even sharper. Most MS CS can even begin to compete with that)
If you doubt I will point you to Thomas Edison and the light bulb. Look how many times it took for him to succeed, Where were his credentials?
The value of "learning to program" is roughly comparable to the 1st year of CS classes at a reputable University.
And that it the delusion that people operate from that got us a hackable Icloud, and endless years of buggy MS software, UX and other abominations.
Also, the degree is no replacement for practical experience.
This is true.
Here is the problem, Learning and programming are far, far, far more important that theory. I have (as one of) a degree in Avionic. You know how long of the two year course was spent in theory of electronics? 6 weeks. Theory of flight? 6 weeks. Actual repair, assembly, fabrication, customization of the actual avionics components (which are miniature computers now not the old fashion dials and gauges, but I digress) The entire rest of the course. Computer theory is meaningless without the ability to actually code, debug, and compile actual complex software as know the principles of flight is with being able to fix or fly a plane.
12 weeks max. No more. When someone one leaves a college, they should be able to code in at least three languages something that would be production ready. Just Like my final test was to fix a malfunctioning avionics component on an ACTUAL 747 (yes we had a gifted one in our hanger that was used for tests. It was no longer flight worthy but we were never told that until after the test.)
Slashdot Mirror
The only way to make something unpiratable is to have it be a continuous interaction between a client and a server where you control the server.
I guess this music "format" is essentially going to be Apple's answer to Pandora, Spotify, et al.
ROTFLOL. The moment that music leaves the speakers, I can have a microphone capture it and funnel it back into another recording device.
Dear Bono,
If your song can be played, it can be pirated.
Sadly His music wasn't because more people deleted his album than kept it. And why would anyone want interactive liner notes? Does anyone actually read the liner notes anyway. (I mean uberfans do but I am not talking about them).
Music is sound and sound can be copied. If it couldn't, he would simply be blind Mr. Hewson from Finglas who sings a bit much in the pub.

One warrant canary conveys 1 bit of data. How many are allowed? Has anyone gotten away with using more than one?
1.5 x 10 to the 10th power
It can't be Apple - they download WESTERN music to your phone, without your permission, which could GET YOU KILLED.
Only if you are playing in the middle east or another area with similar values. Besides how did you get a phone and account there anyway?

Not like we haven't before.

its more like mcdonalds but without the slavery and free food.
If we ignited Jupiter, what would happen to the moons orbiting it? Hmm, they would be consumed. That's why red dwarves (hi ho!) have no planets around them.
Yea, and yet those evil people in Taiji keep killing them. Its our job to protect the dolphins so can explore the universe. We certainly aren't.
More like accidentally kill 100,000 civilians and threaten to cut off anyone in the press corps who dares to bring it up.
there is a 100k civilians left in Syria? I thought assad killed almost anyone not actively fighting for or against him.
