my bitch for today..

3 Killed As Car Hits Couple, Stroller
By ROBERT WELLER
A hit-and-run driver struck a couple crossing a street with a stroller, killing a woman and her two young children and injuring the youngsters' father, police said. Two men were arrested early Saturday.

Wreckage from the stroller was strewn across the busy intersection Friday night in the popular LoDo district of restaurants, clubs, stores and sports venues.

"I went down there and it was a well-lit street," said police spokesman Sonny Jackson. "There was no excuse for it. It is one of the most horrific accidents we've had."

The father was in stable condition at Denver Health Medical Center.

The license plate of the red pickup was knocked off in the crash, leading police to the vehicle's owner and to the arrests in neighboring Westminster, authorities said.

The parents were walking with their 4-year-old and 2-year-old children, crossing lawfully at a lighted intersection, Jackson said.

He said police didn't know how fast the truck was going, but witness Alice Maynard told the Rocky Mountain News it appeared to be going about 50 mph.

"It was really fast, and it hit this family and didn't even stop and didn't even slow down," Maynard told KUSA-TV.

Lawrence Trujillo, 36, was arrested on three counts of investigation of vehicle homicide, as well as leaving the scene of an accident and resisting arrest, police said. Eric Phil Snell, 35, was arrested on three counts of investigation of accessory to a crime.

Jail officials said they didn't know whether the suspects had lawyers.

Just reading that made me think about how poor the UK justice system is. We don't have capital punishment, as I am sure you are aware, but it's mostly a joke. Just watch the news for one night over here and you hear things like..

"Man who murders family gets 5 years"
or
"Man convicted of serial rape gets let out ealry for good behaviour"

Those are merely examples, but, if you catch my drift...

Pennsylvania court says viewing child porn 'not illegal'

A US court has ruled that viewing child pornography on a website without deliberately saving it to a computer is not a crime. The judge said that the state penal code was ambiguous, so he must rule in favour of the defendant.

Anthony Diodoro, a 26-year-old from Delaware County, Pennsylvania admitted knowingly viewing 370 child-porn images online. He also admitted that he had intentionally visited the websites for the purpose of viewing child porn.

State law says that a person must have "knowing possession" of child pornography in order for it to be a crime. A panel of three judges in the Pennsylvania Superior Court concluded that Diodoro could not be convicted of knowingly possessing the images because there was no evidence that Diodoro knew that his computer was storing the images in its internet cache file.

"Because this is a penal statute with an ambiguous term when it comes to computer technology, it must be construed strictly and in favour of the defendant," wrote Judge Richard Klein.

"A defendant must have fair notice that his conduct is criminal," wrote Klein. "Because of the ambiguity, sufficient notice was not provided here. For this reason, we are constrained to reverse [a previous decision] and leave it to the Legislature to clarify the language if it intends to make the mere 'viewing' of child pornography a crime."

Klein said that it was well within the power of lawmakers to clarify the law, if that was their intention. "We note that it is well within the power of the Legislature to criminalize the act of viewing child pornography on a Web site without saving the image," he concluded.

In the UK, the Protection of Children Act can be used to convict someone for viewing child porn on the internet, regardless of whether or not they understood a computer's cache function. "In the UK simply viewing images classes as a download because your computer makes images of them on your screen," said Tony Fagelman of the Internet Watch Foundation, a body which works to minimise the availability of images of child abuse. "The decision is quite unusual, usually US law follows the same legal framework that we do in the UK."

It's still BS, but i think it's sick that an old man or someone would enjoy looking at photos of underaged kids. I think it should be wrong to force someone to be in the pictures. If they volenteer for it, then they should be allowed to.

Well, the only "problem" with that is a minor cannot legally volunteer to be p0rngraphically photographed. There by making ALL child p0rn illegal in one sense or another depending on the countries laws.

i know...One thing that bothers me is that some people are more mature than others, which cannot be measured in age. Having someone say something like "you can't be mature until your sixteen" or "you can't think for yourself until your 21" is prettty stupid. Everyone has an inner age, which is measured only by what the person feals......
mine? my inner age is 16. I'm only a youngling, but i can think for myself (for the most part :P but i still cant drive) of course, im capable of learning how to drive right now.

FOR YE UK-ERS (Britons)

UK online copyright protest

p2pnet.net News:- Britons who own MP3 players which they've filled with copies of legally purchased CDs are breaking the law.

That's because "making this copy is itself illegal," says Open Rights Group executive director Suw Charman.

"Copyright law is out of step with this common behaviour which is seen by the majority as morally and ethically acceptable. The law should be changed to reflect new, fair uses of copyrighted materials."

If you're in a UK citzen, you have until the day after Christmas to join an online protest to petition prime minister Tony Blair to create a new exception to copyright law that gives individuals the right to create a private copy of copyrighted materials for their own personal use, including back-ups, archiving and shifting format.

Go here to add your name to the petition.
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/privatecopy/

(Cheers, Sarah)

KEEP DOWNLOADING THEM MOVIES AND MAYBE SUCK UP SOME MALWARE


Malware goes to the movies
Posted by l33tdawg on Thursday, November 16, 2006 - 11:33 AM Source: The Register


Online attackers have started to experiment with embedding malicious code or links to such code in different video formats. On Tuesday, anti-virus firm McAfee warned Windows users that the company had discovered a worm, dubbed W32/Realor, actively infecting Real Media files. The infected video files do not contain an exploit for the RealOne or Real players, but a hyperlink that points to a malicious website. When infected files are opened, the victim is referred to the web ite, which attempts to compromise their computer using a previously patched flaw in Internet Explorer.

MY BIG BITCH FOR THIS FRIDAY




Hollywood targets podcasts

p2pnet.net News:- Time Warner, Viacom, Fox, Sony, NBC Universal and Disney are at it again, "snatching away our fair use rights, so they can sell them back to us for an 'additional fee'," says the EFF's (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Fred von Lohmann in Deep Links, going on:

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in New York, Paramount Pictures v. Load 'N Go Video, the MPAA member companies have sued a small business for loading DVDs onto personal media players (e.g., iPod Video) on behalf of customers.

According to the suit, Load 'N Go sells both DVDs and iPods and loads the former onto the latter for customers who purchase both. The company then sends the iPod and the original DVDs to the customer. So the customer has purchased every DVD, and Load 'N Go just saves them the trouble of ripping the DVD. The movie studios' suit claims that this is illegal, because ripping a DVD (i.e., decrypting it and making a copy) is illegal under the DMCA. The suit also claims that this constitutes copyright infringement.


Although this lawsuit happens to be aimed at Load 'N Go, the DMCA theory in the complaint makes it crystal clear that the MPAA believes it is just as illegal for you to do the same thing for yourself at home. Apparently, Hollywood believes that you should have to re-purchase all your DVD movies a second time if you want to watch them on your iPod.

This is copyright gone too far. If you buy a DVD, you should be able to make a personal copy of it for your iPod, just like you should be able to make a copy of a CD for your car, without having to ask permission or pay a second time. That's one of the things fair use is for. Of course, the MPAA claims the DMCA changed all that. Before the DMCA, the studios would have had to go to court and prove that "space-shifting" is not a fair use. After the DMCA, they simply argue that "circumvention" of the CSS encryption on DVDs is forbidden by the DMCA, fair use or not.

This lawsuit is just the latest example of the entertainment industry taking aim not at "pirates," but at the legitimate fair use rights of music and movie fans (we've already written about the lawsuits against the XM inno and Sima). And it's not just lawsuits -- here's a summary of what entertainment industry lobbyists are pushing in Congress. That's why EFF is proud to be involved with the Digital Freedom Campaign alongside CEA and many others, fighting for a sensible copyright law, rather than Hollywood's copyright law.

My bitch for the day:

OK this might sound really weird but I found some software that allows you to create your own, personalized, Windows XP Home/Pro SP1/2 CD. By personalized I mean you get to pick what is kept and what is not. If you don't use Disk Cleanup or Disk Defragmenter then you can delete it and it won't install etc.

Here is the reason I am bitching:

I downloaded ~90MB worth of "hotfixes" from the Micro$oft website and thought to myself that I would be ok deleting them.

Well I should have kept all the hotfixes I downloaded because now I can't find the Microsoft page I got them all off of.

Seems like every page I find takes me to "Windows Update" and doesn't let me manually download the patches.

EDIT (by Pop_Smith): I found the web page I was looking for :p I found it by using the Belarc Advisor program I read about in Maximum PC's Nov. issue.

Well it must be my turn for a bitch............... There is a guy at work who constantly winds me up about not being an American (by birth) and he does not know when to shut his trap!! I started to give him grief back about how he was not really an Amercian but he just keeps going! I spoke to a senior manager about this "off the record" and asked him to have a word with the idiot concerned. Now the idiot will not speak to me at all and seems to be doing all he can to piss me off more! It winds me up that I tried to do the right thing and all its doing is biting me in the ass!
