Its possible they could do that, say change the intro ever so slightly. However, I am a pretty lowly possistion at this station and I have access to it. Even the janitor could make a copy. We are in a Level 4 market, but lets say the RIAA uses one of those watermarks we have heard so much about and then goes onto audiognome and picks up the latest Britney Spears song and it happens to be one someone here ripped and encoded. Then they go back and match it to us, etc. Well, at that point the RIAA comes to us and we just say oh, it must of been (someone we just fired). Sorry, but hey, which artist do you want us to put in heavy rotation?
Yes they could do it... but do I worry? Nah. After reading your post I gave a friend of mine a call up at a different radio station here in town and he brought me over their copy of an issued cd (both of our stations are owned by the same local company and we have a slight programing overlap). I slapped them in the machine and ran through a dupe check. Sure enough his CD matched ours bit for bit (acording to this program). So, at least for this cd in this one instance, no such thing I can see is in use.
Also - to get to your first question, what would stop them? We have a contract that says basically we get these 'raw' coppies so we can air and play them. For example, they would be in violation if they sent us a remix of a song that edits something out when we requested it w/o. If they watermarked our music and then tried to bust our station, they too would be in breech of contract. Thus, it would turn to be a bunch of lawcrap where in the end nothing happens and both groups end up jerking eachother off...
I dont think it really matters. The radio station I work at gets the CDs weeks (if not months) before the release date. We also receive a single of what we are forced to play, of course. The CDs we normally get (with some exceptions) are not the same you buy in the store. The ones we get to give away are, but not the first sample we get in. Since we may need to copy all of the tracks for an album show (every saturday at 1am we play through a new cd) to our system, if it was copy-protected, we couldn't do dick with it. That also means that I get a copy for myself, and then soon so does the world.
I saw this movie last night and absolutely loved it. The imagery was so visually intoxicating that I couldn't peal my eyes from the screne. My take on the ending: Prot used Robert's body to actually walk and talk, etc. IE. the form of the soap bubble. Since Prot could sense UV light and had way too much information about the solar system, he could not have just been a super-savant.
In the end when all the mental patients said that the person on gurney was not Prot was a bit confusing, and the fact that Bess did disapear is interesting.
However, Robert could have just gone crazy. Robert as a child could have spent countless hours staring into a clear new mexico sky observing and calculating etc. The eye test could have been a mistake or after the near drowning, his eyes could have become very sensative to light, although I doubt sensative to UV.
All in all - very interesting. I won't lie tho, I just love Kevin Spacy.
The whole beuty of Linux is that you can go be happy with your KDE etc. and I can do fine and dandy in Gnome! Neither of us have to compromise! Yea, now Ive been trolled.
Compraed to the other groups of news, it seems that CPU cooling hasn't been that prevelent on the/. frontpage. It seems that most of the editors aren't that much of CPU DIYers. If they were, cooling would have become important a long time ago when the celeron went big. CPU cooling has been my job now for two years. Now that it interests Michael, we get to see some semi well done case review of a case that has been reviewed to death? Btw, just because its aluminum doesn't meen it automagically cools better.
REading through http://80211b.weblogger.com/weak.defense.html basically sums up the security concerns and then offers solutions. Basically, same rules as if you were on a wired connection. SSH SSL, and VPN, etc.
I know that in Radium, KS - upon the top of the grain elevator, sits an extended antena that taps into a T1 line (via a fairly in-expensive setup). The range on that is pretty insane since you have miles upon miles of line of site. It is free to everyone in the CO-OP. Quite a few farmers have laptops in their tractors and my uncle has an Ipaq with the wireless connection and uses that. Also, the Radium CO-Op was one of the first to use GPS to monitor field... stuff. (Im the city mouse, my cousins are the farm mice)
I often find myself talking it up about security, anonimity, etc. What do you think are key examples showing how our lifes are becoming more and more monitored in a less effective way? I often bring up the face-recognition stuff down in Tampa Bay. It just seems that as the days go on, 1984 gets closer and closer.

Still it shows that techies are just now seeing what those of us who want to own handguns feel like each and every day when people think that taking away guns from law abiding citizens is going to somehow affect the criminals!
http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/World/reuters200109 18_54.html - Taliban Says to Engage in Holy War Against U.S.
KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's ruling purist Taliban movement has announced a jihad, or holy war, against the United States, according to a broadcast on the Taliban's Voice of Shariat radio monitored by the BBC.
"I would like to tell my people that our jihad will be formally resuming against the Americans," the deputy chairman of the Taliban Council of Ministers, Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhond, said in a speech broadcast late Monday.
Akhond said it was unimaginable that the "terror attacks" against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon had been committed by the Taliban or by Osama bin Laden.
"But the USA and all imperialists in the world, Jews and Christians and their supporters are intending to destroy the Islamic order which has been established at the cost of your blood under this pretext," Akhond said.

Quite often, the resolution is not detailed enough in larger citys. However, the bigest problem is folding MAPS just SUCKS!
