@domeris ... our prayers and best wishes as with you and your buddy.

@Ireland...if memory serves, there was, some twenty years ago, a ruling that copying a VHS tape was perfectly legal; I believe it was compared to photocopying. How can laws governing DVDs and CDs be different?

@Domreis

Sorry about your friend. I hope he makes it.

Also if the driver has a fairly recent car it will have a little black box, that will tell the police just how fast he was going. Much like a jet's black box. Sooner or later the insurance companies will have opportunity to access the information any time they want it. Kind of like Dad watching over your shoulder, or a "BIG BROTHER" while you drive.

No black box. I just found out how fast he rely was going. One of the first questions the police officer asked him was "How fast were you going" He told the officer the first time 65MPH in a 35MPH zone. He didn't tell anyone that until today. Before today he told everyone he was going 40MPH.

Nick is having surgery tomorrow. It isn't looking to good right now. It is so horrible, no one has been able to see him, not even the parents. The doctors are saying the voices of people would put stress on his brain.

Today after school everyone who was at the party went to the scene of the accident, and laid flowers. There were allot of tears and hugs. The part that pissed me off was the media. A neighbor tipped off Coin 6 News, and they had cameras in our faces half the time. There were also picketers there trying to prove their point of not letting people get their license until they are 18. There has been so many horrible things happening in this small community lately. I am just so pissed at Coin News 6 right now... I don't even know what to say.

Gerry
I'm not Ireland, but it hinges on digital encryption. The US signed the DMCA and there are other international treaties concerning digital copyright protection. That nullifies the ruling on copying VHS in relation to digitally protected DVDs. I think the way the governments differentiates is just a loophole in favor of the entertainment industry. Until the law is changed, it's illegal to bypass digital copy protection.

My complaint for the day:

I got the new "update" for my 360. Because I am supposed to be able to stream videos from my PC to the XBox now, cool (on paper!).

Well you have to install the Zune P.o.S. software. I installed it thinking, it shouldn't be that bad. I thought its probably just a re-skinned iTunes and there ya go.

Wrong the stupid software doesn't even function! I installed it and fired it up but it gets stuck, a window that is black with shinny black things that look to be ment for buttons is all that appears.

I waited ~5 minutes before force ending it. I discovered when you force-end it the software popups up as though freed from some memory allocation (or something) problem.

Well I uninstalled it and ran CCleaner to get rid of anything it left behind and cold-booted. I then installed it again and re-booted before touching it. I logged in and tried running it but ran into the same problem.

Hopefully they will fix it soon! (Yeah....right)

Peace

2-bitches,Safety valve is sucking air for the last week or so


DVDs ship with anti-theft chip

Cuts down shop lifting

By Nick Farrell: Thursday 10 May 2007, 09:37
RETAILERS are being offered an RFID chip that stops a DVD being read until it is activated.

The chip is fixed to a DVD, along with a thin coating of goo that blocks a DVD player from reading the disc. Activating the chip sends an electrical pulse through the coating, which turns it clear and allows the disk to be read.

The RFID chip is being made by NXP Semiconductors and the Radio Frequency Activation technology comes from Kestrel Wireless.

The two companies claim they have interested two Hollywood studios in the technology and it should be around later this year.

According to Associated Press, the big idea is that by having technology that renders stolen products useless, retailers could display items openly, thus encouraging more sales.

The tactic of displaying the cases while keeping the DVDs locked in a drawer near the cash register seems doomed. µ

With the DVD issue: All someone (I am sure it would happen days before the tech actually was set in retail stores) would steal a scanner or whatever they use to activate the chip, dismantel it and find a way to either:

A: create your own

B: find how the tech works and by pass it using low-tech items.

nothing like 30$ worth of stuff to crack 500% worth in protections..its almost as bad as a 4 grand key maker at a auto dealer not being able to finish the keying on a new key and has to send it out to a hardware store 0-o

Ireland's article:

Quote:
Your "friendly neighborhood Canadian supposedly accounts for 7 out of every 10 pirated movies," said Cinema Blend's Stuart Wood, going on, "Well in a new report by the MPAA, they also claim that New York is responsible for 40% of world piracy. Four out of every ten pirated movies."

How, Wood wonders, can you have 110% of anything?
Haven't they forgotten illegal chinese smuggled bootlegs? Wouldn't that make it about 150%?

another bitch,

think about this


Experts agree that when used correctly, such scans can save lives. However, according to some estimates, the radiation exposure a patient receives from a full-body CT scan is often 500 times that of a conventional X-ray and about the same as that received by people living 2.4 kilometres away from the centres of the World War II atomic blasts in Japan.

A VERY BIG BITCH


Use Internet Explorer At Your Own Peril

Malicious hackers are increasing using mainstream and popular web sites to spread their spyware and adware.
Cybercrooks are corrupting Web pages by the tens of thousands. By tapping holes in the Internet Explorer browser, they implant tiny programs that connect the PC of anyone who simply clicks on the tainted page to a ?mother ship? server, often in Russia or China.

That central server collects data typed into online forms ? banking log-ins and shopping cart transactions, for instance. It also hijacks the captured PC into a network of compromised PCs, known as ?bots,? to spread spam.

In one recent sweep, security firm Cyveillance identified 50,000 corrupted pages. Websense estimates the actual number may be 10 times that.

Cyveillance often recovers caches of sensitive data for 10,000 to 200,000 individuals stored on mother ship servers, says product manager James Brooks.

I?ll never figure out why anyone continues to use Internet Explorer once they?re told about Firefox and Opera and how much safer and better each of them are. Everyone also needs to keep their anti-virus and anti-spyware programs up to date and active.

If this story doesn?t convince you, you might as well just turn over your computer to the malicious hackers as they?ll soon have control of it anyway.

Malware and adware is increasingly used and connected to identity theft. Often these packages the hackers are silently installing contain keyloggers and other programs that capture your bank logins and credit card numbers along with other personal information. They either sell this information, extort you, or use it to commit identity theft themselves. Worse, once this stuff gets on your computer it?s nearly impossible to get completely off.

ANOTHER BIG BIG BITCH


MS update ate my CPU cycles

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/05/11/ms_update_glitch/
Tarpit
By John Leyden → More by this author
Published Friday 11th May 2007 15:35 GMT

The latest batch of patches from Microsoft has left some users in the slow lane.

After applying the seven critical updates released by Redmond, some punters are finding their processor's resources eaten by an application called svchost.exe, in a way that mimics a viral infection. Svchost.exe is a generic name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).

Outlook 2003 users have been hardest hit, with some linking the application's slow-down to the effects of a cumulative update to Internet Explorer. However, the effect is far from limited to Outlook 2003 users.

The issue has cropped up on the WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) blog and among reports to the SANS Institute's Internet Storm Centre (ISC). The precise cause of the problem remains unclear. Microsoft is yet to respond to our requests to shed some light on the problem.

Some users are experiencing relief by applying a hot fix issued to address problems involving non-response of svchost.exe (not exactly the symptom most are reporting) prior to upgrading their Windows Update client, ISC reports. Your mileage may vary.

You receive an access violation error when you try to install an update from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update after you apply hotfix package KB916089

SYMPTOMS
When you try to install an update from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update, you experience the following symptoms:
? The Svchost.exe process that runs Windows Update stops responding.
? You receive an access violation error. This access violation stops the Server service and the Workstation service.
You experience this problem after you install the hotfix that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
