What will it be signed with? My DNA? What about identity theft? This shouldn't be a problem. Even if personal information was used to encode a file, it would be hashed. There would be no way to take the watermarked video and reverse it back to the personal information. You would need whatever lookup table they use. If you are worried about the security of that, well....there are many more sensitive databases that need worrying about.
You only inter operate when its in your best interest But it is in our best interest, we simply have too many people in the US that are incapable of understanding this
Never mind the fact that you tried to classify my political views and beliefs by reading less than 500 words I wrote on slashdot (of all places), you sir are just plain rude.
I gave a simply counterpoint to the first claim well before you started rambling on about what the definition of 'public' is.
No One, i mean NO ONE sold the secrets to the Enemy Whether or not this story is even true I couldn't say, we didn't go over that one in US history last year. But what I do know is that 'Allied reporters' certainly do not constitute the full population and therefor he was still keeping it secret from the population (as most people call the governed people the population). No? Try not to stereotype so much in your next response please.
Oh and by the way,
You seem to be like Dick Cheney, who thinks Executive power is absolute and anything NOT specified in the constituion belongs to the President by Right all power not specifically granted or denied by the constitution goes to the state I believe.
There should be measures taken to ensure that everything that can be revealed is revealed And there are such measures! And you are looking at them. It is required that US documents be declassified after a certain period of time. That's the point of an article like this.
What I think you meant is why are secrets ever kept in the first place. Well, for very good reason. You can't have military plans circulating weeks before an attack can you. Secrets are there for good reason. The public can't be trusted with everything. This is the very same reason why the US doesn't use a popular vote to elect its president. The electoral college was put into place to keep too much power being placed on the layman.
Yes, and I know from experience that you can reprogram your phone to use another proxy (Motorolas and LGs I can confirm). The hack consists of changing the hostname or IP address that the phone connects to. In this way you are only charged for airtime (which for most, is free after a certain hour). Some people use freely available 3rd party proxies but I choose to use my own server running HottProxy. Not only can you then set your homepage (Such as a custom one, or wap.google) but you escape the limited amount of content fed to you from verizon. This works on other carriers iirc.
I would love to use my laptop tethered to my cellphone (of which I have the drivers installed for modem usage) to get internet access in flight. Sure beats the magazines.
A lot of people seem to miss the fact that they control almost every bit of what information of theirs shows up on the internet. If there is any exception to this rule, your problem is not with the internet or it's services, it is with some other individual.
Intelligence isn't about speed That depends if you consider the Turing test as a measure of intelligence (its certainly not perfect, but its been around for quite a while so I'd thought I would throw it in). If I asked two black boxes to reflect on modern literature and I got a response out of one of them in 10 seconds, and the other in an hour, I might conclude there is an intelligent agent in one, and a computer at the heart of the other.
Then again, if Moore's Law remains true for only.....
At some point you just decide that spending the testing effort to check that the product still works on a Win 95 box with 64MB of RAM isn't worth it. Agreed, but, many 3rd party software companies are putting such OS checks in there software installers. If they do not want to support it on w2k, that's fine. But I rather be allowed to run the software unsupported (maybe with a warning when I install and something in the EULA). I might be able to do everything I need to do with their software. They don't have to support me and they still get paid. I get to complete whatever task brought me to their software in the first place.
Who are these "most people"? It would have been more appropriate to say those few who understood they didn't have to swallow the clownish themes forced upon them. They upgraded, ofcourse, because of software that was no longer being supported on their older OS, which brings us back to the original problem.
make no mistake, with a little work and alternative exists. And I understand this. Believe me, there are many things were I have sought out an alternative and loved it. My post was a plea (read, complaint) that I feel a lot of other people in the slashdot community agree with. I just rather not hack registry values to make a piece of software think it's running on XP if it is not drawing on anything that isn't on w2k.
I see your point, and its valid. As of now Google offers nothing unless you can get to the site. Most people will be doing so with IE on a windows box.
But! Google is changing the way many people look at these giant corporations. No, I am not a GoogleOS conspiracy theorist but I do think people will come to expect more from a company like Microsoft after seeing what Google has done (with little to no backstabbing and expression of malice towards its users like Microsoft has done with things such as WGA and activation).
Hey, I don't know about you, but when I first got XP, practically the first thing I did was change the GUI back to Windows Classic
Most people did.
Windows 2000 was an amazing operating system for its time. As stable as XP, it wasn't as much of a resource hog. It would run quite nicely on 64mb of ram. Yeah, aero looks good in Vista, but when it comes to hardware requirements, it is simply not suitable for many businesses who may have hundreds of computers not quite vista ready. If you like aero and would like to upgrade, that's fine. But locking out w2k users with software that will run fine if not for an explicit OS version check is just unfair. If the software is capable of running on an OS, I expect it to run on that OS. I don't think that is asking too much.
Giving the whole world a frickin website that's setup to print them out like hotcakes is just irresponsible
What's irresponsible is the fact that boarding passes can be generated by the web (on sites like NWA) without any large security precautions.
No, actually it's javascript.
When I said it was html, I wasn't referring to the generator, I was referring to its output. It's text and a little barcode that we found out doesn't get checked until later on in the security process. You cannot say that editing text in word by saving the web page is beyond too many people's capabilities. Not a whole lot of reverse engineering necessary.
The fact that he is being investigated for exercising only slightly more technical knowledge then the average person is what I have a problem with. If credit cards were printed on plain paper should I be in that much trouble for writing a little web app that automates the process? Was it that hard to do it without my generator?
Slashdot Mirror
No good for food, I heard these "politicians" are all full of shit.
What the HEC?
Same for translate. Altavista is first

Break free!
Cellphones have uses besides talking.

PS3 is such a nice guy...and with so much potential! He just doesn't apply himself these days.
Its awful, just awful kids.
Hindenburg? Never heard of.
A joke on the other hand, that I'm quite familiar with.
A lot of people seem to miss the fact that they control almost every bit of what information of theirs shows up on the internet. If there is any exception to this rule, your problem is not with the internet or it's services, it is with some other individual.
They should really fill these things with hot hydrogen. You get the best of both worlds

Cut the leet.
Unfortunately, due to the arguments already stated, if a company like HP were to offer this it would be more like:
( ) Windows (FREE! with any HP)
( ) Red Hat Linux (add $39)
( ) Suse (add $39)
( ) NONE (not recommended for most users - add $29)
What do you think they will choose?
So does this mean that all of those old pennies we cut up in AP Chemistry for analyzing their percent silver content were OK?
