FOX News are a bunch of Conservative, Wanky F***-Ups with shallow Over-Hyped news stories. The same ones that were always over-joyed to assist the Bush administration with its fear-mongering reports. I'm suprised anyone would use any of their material for anything other than a parody or pathetic joke. ;(
Technically, and legally, M$ would never be able to take the use of Linux/Unix "su" or "sudo" to court. Due to the fact it is for Linux/Unix, protected by OpenBSD Licenses, and dates back 1979 for "su" and 1980 for "sudo".
There isn't enough oxygen on the planet for a person to verbally describe how proprietary Sony's products and services really are. Not to mention their ass-backward, consumer-unfriendly implementation concepts. ;(

Open-source did it first. And besides, KDE Desktop for Linux and Unix has done it for years. KDE's dialog only asks for the root password. That's it. Easy shmeasy. ;)
Honestly, M$ and the u$pto need to lay off the paint fumes.
It's giving the rest of the world a headache... ;p

Re: Re: Technology shall prevail over those who are set on breaking it...
I was refering to our increasing need for digital pirates. The excellent content many of them provide. And how the intertainment industry consistantly ignores real the needs of the consumer over their own profit margin.
Technology shall prevail over those who are set on breaking it...
Message for the entertainment industry:
Go ahead. Break our TVs, our DVRs, our music players. Those who are computer savy will avoid the televisions, the movie theaters, the dvd rental & retail stores, the CDs. We'll get our movies and entertainment needs from the pirates and gray-markets. No more DRM to deal with. YOUR the ones standing on the edge of the cliff, not us. Your business model has already taken the plunge. And your fans are about ready to give you the final push over the side. Were tired of your crap of standing against us. Blind & deaf to our needs. Either join us, or step aside! " }:> "
A dam can only hold back so much water. The pressure is rising on yours. Some of it has already found a different way around...
"-- by encouraging construction of networks that are designed not on the basis of accommodating capacity-hogging transmissions of unlawful content but rather with the goal of providing consumers a rich broadband experience."
They suggest that file-sharing is the ONLY "big hog" on the network..HAH!!
As if Net-Flix, Amazon, Hulu, and YouTube, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, Reuters, BBC are low-bandwidth contributors. The MPAA, RIAA are not just MAFIA Organizations, they are..
THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITES ON THE PLANET. Blame the rest of the internet, so they and their butt-monkey partners can be the only ones to serve high-bandwidth content. Butt-Holes!!

It's obvious that anyone with an IQ over "10" can't be employed as a Hollywood entertainment executive. I give those already employed a "10" because they have at least figured out a way to financially rape the general public!
Mafia, indeed. ;p
Media outlets MUST remain financially independent for the sole reason of credibility. Once the government begins funding media outlets, it becomes a "conflict of interest". Any reporting of government news or stories by that media source will be tainted.
Through the eyes of the reader or observer, the truth becomes whatever the government says it is. Not what it REALLY is.
While there is benefit to "small" "local community" newspapers.. The struggling giant, conglomerate, over-bloated newspaper outlets, i.e. Washington Compost, New York Grimes, etc.. need to stop pissing and moaning about how life is Soooo unfair and start adapting to change. Look what happened to 8-track & cassette tapes. We still listen to music. Just Not On Outdated Media! ;p
Change has come. It's already here. And it WILL kick you to the curb if you're unwilling to go with it. Think about that when your selling your LAST newspaper... ;)
If the students are learning anything, they know that truth is relative in a court of law. And that all that needs to be proven is reasonable doubt. IP addresses are not like strands of DNA.
They prove only that an IP address was assigned(DHCP) to a particular hardware address(MAC). And then that is compared to the logs on the server to determine whose account was logged in with that address. Yes, yes, it's all academic.
Even IF it was your login account, IP addresses and MAC addresses can be spoofed VERY easily. Mis-configured or poorly implemented server software can create log errors, etc.
But then, most of the infringement complaints are coming from the idiot recording industry. And currently, they're getting their false information from THE DUMBEST, MOST CLUELESS organization on the planet.. DtecNet.
Finally! The world has its answer to a curious question...
Where do the DUMBEST, most CLUELESS and DELUSIONAL people work in the IT field? DtecNet. And I thought MediaSentry was bad about false information.
Clearly, the riaa and other Mafia Orgnizations are just as DELUSIONAL as they are. Since they believe, not only their own BullSh**, but DtecNet's as well.
According to Dictionary-dot-com ;) . The following definition best describes how technology and demand has rendered the recording industry's business model obsolete...
Roadkill - One that has failed or been defeated and is no longer worthy of consideration.
Once I have the phone, I'll "mod" it as I see fit. And policing something like what their suggesting? It's a pre-paid phone! Pay cash. Alter the ESN if you must. Switch networks. Enjoy. ;)
I haven't bought a CD in 9 years. Who the hell wants to pay $15-$20 dollars for a CD with 10 to 15 songs on it? After that, the songs have to ripped to mp3 or ogg format to be of any real use (portable devices, laptop, pc, etc). And dragging around a CD collection while your on the go? Hell no! Music CDs are out of date. Something that needs to fade away in the same fashion as casette tapes did. only faster! ;)
The RIAA and other organizations like them, are Mafia Families operating in different parts of the world. They are dinosaurs of the past whose business models became extinct long, long ago. And what happened to the all the other dinosaurs? Eh?
Why would anyone believe anything they say, anyway. };>
Not too suprising, coming from M$. A closed-sourced, Highly Proprietary corporate machine which has become deaf, dumb, and blind to the individual consumer needs. Much of the same can be said about other game consoles as well. };>
My suggestion is to convert these consoles into Unix or Linux web-servers (google search the info). Play your games on a computer console emulator.
And tell these pathetic idiot corporate stooges that you won't buy their products anymore until they stop screwing you over. Boycott their products. ;)
Lucky for me.. I don't buy anything created or produced by M$. I reeeeally hate those guyz. Including sony. };>
HEY DISNEY!! With the upcoming Holloween holiday..
Are you going to THREATEN LITTLE CHILDREN with LAWSUITS AGAIN, if they wear your stupid Barney character costumes?!
DRM died a long time ago. The masses don't want it. And as demand grows even more, they will always find a way around it.
"Piracy is demand where there is no supply."
This new idea of yours.. is a cruel joke on on the world.
Piss-off Corporate disney. You are NOT the disney I grew up with.

These are all MAFIA Organizations. Operated by, of course, MAFIA THUGS. They are all openly guilty of two distinct crimes which are Extortion and Racketeering. As well as manipulating and abusing the justice system. They do not, in any way, represent music artists. They represent GREED for profit. They only want your money. They don't care if you like the song or not. They don't care about YOU, the fan, the paying customer.
It's tempting to stand outside of these Mafia organizations, bend over, and fart the musical notes of my favorite songs!
I'd love to hear them describe this so called live performance to a court. ;)

..Keep singing those songs, and playing those radios. LOUD!
Since the first news of this broke out, my family and friends have stopped using all of Hansens products. Including Monster. They are all outraged by the actions of Hansens.
Hansens is just another corporate jerk-off. They can be added to the list of shame, right next to companies like disney, the riaa (alias: mu$ic MAFIA), and micro$oft (alias: micro$haft). They should feel right at home there. The friggen TROLL bastards!
If yor site has content or data that interests me, and it's not password protected, I'm coming aboard! And to echo many of the comments before mine... It's my computer. I and I alone determine what goes on it. If you site is open to the virtual public, then don't harass anyone. Then, just maybe, they might come back...

Yes. Many of us know where they are located. I had to write a script to automatically delete them after each use of a web-browser.
