ireland Yeah I was one that got a key from you and I can't remember the 2 movies people were having trouble with but it did them.I haven't used the new version just seen it on here for the updateand downloaded it, be trying it tonight.Finally about done moving and dear old Comcast had internet one day and not the next and every time they said errors when they changed address and registration wasn't right then work became 7 days a week with people off work so I couldn't take the vacation during the move and that took away my free time till today. Yours and Rippers jokes this morning really found a long lost smile. Best regards to you and the Bride. Chris

Ireland or chrisc, is this still available with a free key?, if it is, is it a trial version on full version, and does it need a dycrypter to run like AnyDVD or does it have its own built in.

RIAA targets 10-year-old girl

p2pnet.net news:- Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG have hit absolute rock bottom in their carefully orchestrated campaign to abuse legal systems and mainstream print and electronic media outlets around the world to menace guileless people into buying 'product,' as they call their music offerings, and to gain control of how music is distributed online.

Are their onslaughts having the desired effect? They are not.

Nonetheless, in their most barbaric move yet, they're now targeting Kylee Andersen, a 10-year-old Oregon girl.

But this'll be no surprise. In what's become an internationally infamous case, they kicked their sue 'em all campaign off by suing Brianna LaHara, who was only 12. And the American administration let them get away with it, just as they're countenancing ongoing attacks on other equally innocent families, and all in the name of corporate profits.

Nor is this outrageous practice confined to the States.

"It is not our intention to target children," said Peter Jamieson disingenuously, not long after the news broke that the Big 4 were suing Briana.

He runs the BPI (British Phonographic Industry), another industry owned RIAA-style organization. But, "[we will] if they are breaking the law on a very large scale," he went on.

Children breaking the law on a very large scale? That's what EMI (Britain), Vivendi Universal (France), Sony BMG (Japan and Germany) and Warner Music (US) are claiming, and with straight faces.

None of these cases ever reaches a court, however. That's the last thing the BIG 4 want - not while they can with impunity use organisations such as their RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to blackmail frightened, unsophisticated people into 'settling' without ever having their cases heard before a jury.

"The RIAA is insisting on deposing Tanya Andersen's 10-year-old daughter in Atlantic v. Andersen, in Oregon," says Recording Industry vs The People.

To be deposed is to be questioned by a lawyer or lawyers under oath. And in cases such as the ones being brought by the RIAA, it's guaranteed to be a fearsome experience - certainly not one any child of 10 should be exposed to except in the most extreme circumstances.

But that's what the RIAA has lined up for Kylee Andersen, who was only seven when the Big 4 first sicced their RIAA on her mother, Tanya, a disabled woman living on benefits.

The plaintiffs, Big 4 companies Atlantic Recording, Priority Records, Capitol Records UMG Music and BMG Music, say they're entitled, "to take the deposition of Kylee Andersen, and should be allowed to take the deposition in person".

What if Kylee, who is, after all, only 10, doesn't want to be part of what she'll correctly perceive to be the continuation of a vicious attack on her own mother?

No problem. The RIAA will force her.

The plaintiffs, "have a significant interest in deposing Kylee Andersen as a potential witness [against her own mother] in this case and have subpoenaed her," they admit.

They also say, "Plaintiffs take exception to Defendant's suggestion that taking Kyless Andersen's deposition is an attempt to 'threaten (Defendant) and abuse the child."

Quite right. Rather, it's a blatant attempt to get her mother to agree to the RIAA's outright extortion rather than expose her daughter to the tender mercies of an RIAA-hired legal gun.

Tanya Andersen's lawyer, Lory Lybeck, has already defeated the RIAA in one legal battle and on behalf of his client, is suing them under the Oregon RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization).

p2pnet ran a Q&A with Tanya a year ago. You can read it below.

Click here here to see Lybeck's court submission.

Andersen, pictured above right with Kylee and Tazz, their terrier/Maltese cross, used to buy music through BMG, but dropped the service when she was sued.

In this Q&A, she tells p2pnet how BMG Music asked her to return to the fold because she'd been, "such a great customer". They also promised her a free CD if she'd sign up again.

"I think it's sad that all the beautiful and hard work of artists is being tarnished by these lawsuits," she said.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

p2pnet: You've been embroiled in a fight with the Big Four record labels for some time, now. Mark Eilers at their Tukwila, Washington, 'Settlement Centre,' claims you downloaded 'illegal' digital files. But you've said from Day One the allegation isn't true. Do you have any idea how they decided to zero in on you?

Andersen: No, I don't. There were a lot of things that went on with my computer during that month - I was down for a week and had to call Verizon to get me back on line. During that time, there was an employee that went in and did some things to my computer - worked my computer from their office; also having me go in and change my ip address several times. I also had a virus that month that I had a hard time getting rid of. I really have no idea. I just know that I never did what they're saying I did.

p2pnet: Have you ever shared files?

Andersen: No.

p2pnet: Do you know how to share files?

Andersen: I'd heard about people file sharing before this lawsuit was filed against me. But if you told me to go into a program and do it, I wouldn't know how. Through this lawsuit, I've had to educate myself through reading and talking to people to learn about how Kaaza works and about how file sharing works.

p2pnet: Your lawyer says in a, "sweeping and indefinite manner," the RIAA lists 1,406 file names. This represents statutory damages of either $4,500 or $1,054,500. How much is the RIAA actually demanding from you?

Andersen: The Settlement Support Center that kept calling me told me if I didn't agree to pay them that they'd be filing a huge lawsuit against me in Federal Court, and would sue me for hundreds of thousands of dollars. When I told them I didn't do what they were saying, they told me they just don't end these things and I'd better just pay. Or else. I kept telling them there is no way I did what they said, and could I please see the proof of what they were saying I did. They told me they couldn't provide that to me at that time. It wasn't something they did. That, when they filed a lawsuit against me, I could see what they had. He did finally tell me on the phone how many songs there were, named some of them, and told me the user name (which I'd never heard of). I continued to tell him I didn't do what they were saying. They would just say they'd sue me for hundreds of thousands of dollars if I didn't enter into an agreement with the Settlement Support Center to pay.

p2pnet: How much are they demanding from you?

Andersen: I'm not even sure, at this point, the exact amount they are suing me for. I just know it's huge.

p2pnet: Have they told you which files they're accusing you of sharing?

Andersen: When the Settlement Support Center called, they had told me the names of a few they were accusing me of. It was not until I got served the lawsuit and saw the exhibits that I found out what all I was even actually being accused of.

p2pnet: Have you considered paying to get the RIAA off your back?

Andersen: Nope. I don't believe I should pay for something I did not do.

p2pnet: Your daughter, Kylee, is nine, now. Does she understand what's going on?

Andersen: She understands that her mom is being sued, but isn't sure what all that means. I've tried to keep a lot of it away from her. Even though I try that, she's still heard some things. I found out one day that this stuff was affecting her more than I knew and that she's heard some of it.

One day, out of the blue, she asked me if those people are going to take her mom away and if I'd go to jail. She wanted to know if we'd still have a place to live and food to eat and would we be OK. It scares and confuses her. She keeps asking me if they're still suing me.

p2pnet: Might she have shared files on your computer without you knowing?

Andersen: No. She was seven at the time - only a few months into the age of seven. She still doesn't know how to even connect to the internet. She's always had to ask if she does get on the computer. The computer is out in the living room, and always had been, where I can see it. It also had passwords on it. She gets on the computer to play with her store-bought kid software or has gone on children's site occasionally, if I help her get on there. She doesn't even know how to do that herself.

p2pnet: Is the RIAA action affecting her in any way?

Andersen: Yes. She's scared they're going to take her mom away for something she doesn't understand. She's worried if we're going to be OK. Plus, she puts up with a mom who has more stress than normal, at times. I try real hard to keep that under control, but it's pretty hard at times.

p2pnet: When they can't get to parents, the RIAA is infamous for going after children. Do you know if it's thinking about a suit against your daughter?

Andersen: No, I haven't heard of that.

p2pnet: We understand you wrote US senator Ron Wyden and Congressman David Wu, and state senator Gordon Smith, all from Oregon, asking for their help both as an Oregon citizen, and ex-employee of the Oregon Department of Justice. Did they respond?

Andersen: They each responded with a letter that appeared generic in reply. They all told me that, as congress people, they couldn't get involved in someone being sued in a lawsuit. I could tell by the letters that they didn't even understand what I was talking about.

p2pnet: What do your friends and neighbors think of the law suit?

Andersen: Most think it is pretty insane and can't believe this is happening to me. They know I didn't download or share music.

p2pnet: Do you have any idea at all how the RIAA zeroed in on you?

Andersen: No, I don't.

p2pnet: Are, or were you, a customer of any of the labels?

Andersen: Yes, I was. I bought CDs regularly and was a member of BMG?s music club. I ordered a lot of CDs from BMG. I cancelled my membership when this happened.

The weird thing is the other day, I received a phone call from BMG Music asking me to come back because I had been 'such a great customer.' They told me if I signed back up, they'd give me a free CD. I told them No and they asked me why. I told them that maybe they should quit suing their great customers. They guy on the phone told me he didn't even know they were doing that. (I'm sure he was just a telemarketer and it didn't matter much to him.)

There are songs out now that I hear and love and would love to buy the CD, but when I see the recording company, I feel sick to my stomach and won't buy it. It's sad to me because music used to be something that would relax me and make me feel good - it was a huge joy in my life.

Now, knowing what I know, the entire industry has left me with a different feeling.

p2pnet: What would you say to any of the other people who are being victimized by the RIAA?

Andersen: People can make a difference. I believe that.

Believe in yourself and don't let someone bully you into paying for something you haven't done.

Big Music victimizes students






p2pnet.net news view:- A very serious problem exploding in senior schools across America will inevitably spread to teaching institutions in Europe and elsewhere.


Students who download and/or share music copyrighted by EMI (Britain), Vivendi Universal (France), Sony BMG (Japan and Germany) and Warner Music (US) are being held up by the industry and school staffs alike as criminals and thieves who must comply with Big Music online 'settlement' options if they're to avoid appearing in court.

School administrators are systemically failing to respond appropriately to corporate allegations, instead handing over, on demand, details of students to the Big 4's RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for 'punishment' without cases ever having been made or proved in or out of court.

Nor are mainstream print and electronic media reporting on what's happening in a fair and balanced manner. Instead, they're relying almost solely on one-sided corporate press statements and spokespeople for material.

Associated Press states, "The Recording Industry Association of America sent letters offering discounted settlements to 400 computer users at 13 universities in late February. Another batch was sent out this week. Association spokesman Jonathan Lamy said Friday that, so far, 116 settlements were reached after the first round of letters went out."

Is this OK? AP doesn't wonder at it. Is it acceptable for publicly funded institutions to be used in this way by a purely commercial organisation answering to vested interests? AP doesn't ask.

The Big 4 labels missed the mp3 online music boat in the 1990s and now, instead of stepping back to see how they can remedy the situation and regain lost ground and consumer trust, they want their customers to bail them out, both literally and metaphorically.

Billions of digital music files are moving around the Net every hour of every day, but only a fraction, so tiny as to be unmeasurable, are being bought from sites supplied by the Big 4.

Most of the music traffic is on the p2p networks and independent sites because: management is wholly out of touch; marketing decisions are based on outdated and outmoded models; corporate files are seriously over-priced; corporate catalogues are scant; the quality of corporate product is, generally speaking, poor; and, the music industry persists in treating its customers as though they're all would-be criminals.

But that's never mentioned or written about.

Instead, "In the association's latest effort to curb music piracy, colleges are given letters to forward to students suspected of music piracy, Lamy said," states AP, going on, "Students are urged to contact the association to broker a settlement before a lawsuit is filed."

Copyright infringement is a civil, purely commercial, matter.

It isn't a crime, or anything close to it, and people who infringe copyrights aren't criminals by any stretch of the imagination.

To date, not one person, student or otherwise, has appeared in court to be found 'guilty' of the non-existent crime of file sharing.

And that's the way the labels want it to stay.

Why bother with the nuisance of courts, where they'd be forced to actually prove their allegations and have to pay hefty legal fees and expenses, not to mention the added, and very real, risk of losing, when they can prosecute people in the mainstream media with guaranteed results? And all for free.

Additionally, thanks to the settlements, students not only voluntarily incriminate themselves, they also supply the labels with invaluable personal information and data which can be re-used by Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG for many different, often questionable, purposes.

Moreover, the 'settlements' are pulling in significant amounts of money, none of which goes back to the artists.

"Patrick McGee, an attorney Ohio University arranged to meet with its students, has said $3,000 is the standard settlement offer, though cases have settled for as much as $5,000," says AP.

"Years ago, college students were our best customers," said RIAA president Cary Sherman recently. "Now they're among our worst customers."

Is that possibly because years ago, Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG's RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) weren't trying to sue students into buying 'product'?

But students aren't alone.

In the latest travesty, the RIAA is now pursuing a 10-year-old girl.

Why the Playstation 3 owns the PC in F@H

By Jon Stokes | Published: March 26, 2007 - 10:19AM CT

The numbers are in, and the Playstation 3 is tearing up the Folding@Home charts like Michael Jackson on the 1983 Top 40. Check out the latest numbers, and you'll see what I'm talking about:
OS Type Current TFLOPS* Active CPUs Total CPUs
Windows 154 162334 1629354
Mac OS X/PowerPC 7 8920 95593
Mac OS X/Intel 10 3068 7728
Linux 43 25492 216436
GPU 46 774 2284
PLAYSTATION®3 494 31050 41044
Total 754 231638 1992439

31,000 PS3s are pushing over three times the TFLOPS of 163,000 Windows boxes, a feat that has many wondering about the hows and whys of the new console's apparent F@H dominance. Let's take a closer look at the phenomenon, starting with the numbers above.

We can begin to get a handle on what's happening by organizing the main contestants by their TFLOPS/CPU ratio. In other words, this metric will give us the average number of TFLOPS per active CPU, which yields a quick-and-dirty view of which systems are bringing the most per-processor power to the project.
Processor TFLOPS/CPU
GPU 0.0594
Cell (PS3) 0.0159
CPU (Windows) 0.00095

Clearly, the PS3 owns the Windows machines in terms of TFLOPS/CPU, but the GPU has even the PS3 outclassed. There are two main reasons behind the relative TFLOPS/CPU rankings here, both of which become apparent after a read through the F@H documentation.

First, most Ars readers are aware that, as a general rule, the TFLOPS metric is a pretty poor way to judge performance. Different instruction set architectures (ISAs) will render the same calculation using different numbers of floating-point operations, sometimes skewing the results significantly when you compare TFLOPS ratings across ISAs. So the TFLOPS ratings given by F@H are fun, but the project itself acknowledges that there are major problems with this metric. In fact, the F@H group's initial numbers for the PS3's TFLOPS rating were wrong, and were revised downward by 50% last night.

Even if we give the TFLOPS rating the benefit of the doubt, and assume that the TFLOPS/CPU ranking gets us somewhere in the ballpark of what we're looking for, there's another major factor to consider: not all work units (WUs) are created equal. The F@H PS3 FAQ introduces the issue fairly clearly:

What type of calculations the PS3 client is capable of running? The PS3 right now runs what are called implicit solvation calculations, including some simple ones (sigmodal dependent dielectric) and some more sophisticated ones (AGBNP, a type of Generalized Born method from Prof. Ron Levy's group at Rutgers). In this respect, the PS3 client is much like our GPU client. However, the PS3 client is more flexible, in that it can also run explicit solvent calculations as well, although not at the same speed increase relative to PC's. We are working to increase the speed of explicit solvent on the PS3 and would then run these calculations on the PS3 as well. In a nutshell, the PS3 takes the middle ground between GPU's (extreme speed, but at limited types of WU's) and CPU's (less speed, but more flexibility in types of WU's) [emphasis added].

I'll also point you to another section of the FAQ:

The GPU client is still the fastest, but it is the least flexible and can only run a very, very limited set of WU's. Thus, its points are not linearly proportional to the speed increase. The PS3 takes the middle ground between GPU's (extreme speed, but at limited types of WU's) and CPU's (less speed, but more flexibility in types of WU's). We have picked the PS3 as the natural benchmark machine for PS3 calculations and set its points per day to 900 to reflect this middle ground between speed (faster than CPU, but slower than GPU) and flexibility (more flexible than GPU, less than CPU).

As the last line in each quote above indicates, the PS3 sits halfway between the GPU and the general-purpose CPU in terms of the flexibility vs. performance tradeoff. So the relative positions in the TFLOPS/CPU list given earlier are about what we'd expect, with the GPU being extremely good at the limited number of WU types that it can do, the PS3 being very good at a slightly larger number of types, and the general-purpose CPU offering a range of performance numbers on all the types of WUs that averages out to a result that puts it well at the bottom of the pack.

Here's a simple analogy to illustrate the logic behind the rankings. The GRE exam has three sections: verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. Let's say that three different students took the exam, and they were then ranked relative to each other based on the average of their three scores.

Because student G is a mathematical genius and an autistic savant who can't do anything but math, he was asked to take only the quantitative exam?an exam that he's insanely good at. So his GRE average reflects his performance on that single exam. Student P excels at both math and vocabulary, so took he took only the quantitative and the verbal reasoning exams. Thus P's GRE average reflects the average of only these two exams. Student C is good at vocabulary, average at math, and a solid writer. He took all three exams, and all three scores contributed to his GRE average.

If we were to rank the average scores of all three students, student G would outclass the other two by a wide margin, student P would come in second place, and student C would be stuck at a far, far distant third place. This is because G (the GPU in the analogy) took only the test that he was insanely good at, P (the PS3) took the two tests at which he excelled, and C (the general-purpose CPU) had to take all three tests.

Ultimately, the TFLOPS/CPU rankings given above align pretty much exactly with the degree of specialization of each type of processor. The GPU is far and away the most specialized of the three, so it sits comfortably atop the rankings. The PS3 has a lower degree of specialization than the GPU, but a significantly higher degree than the general-purpose CPU. Indeed, you could almost use each processor's TFLOPS/CPU score as a sort of "degree of hardware specialization" rating.

The final thing that's worth noting is that the pool of CPUs that make up the "Windows" portion of the client list varies widely, from older Pentium 4 models to brand new Core 2 Duos and everything in between. The GPUs are much more uniform in terms of hardware types (all ATI), and the PS3 is the most uniform of them all. So the PS3-to-PC comparison isn't just apples-to-oranges. It's more like apples-to-citrus.

The fact that the metrics by which the rankings are decided are totally stacked against the general-purpose CPU shouldn't necessarily detract from the PS3's feat. There's a reason why IBM is pushing blades based on the same Cell processor that powers the PS3 in the high-performance computing (HPC) market: Cell can offer dramatic speedups vs. a general-purpose CPU on certain types of "embarrassingly parallel" workloads. One such "embarrassingly parallel" workload happens to be the F@H client, at least when it's running certain types of work units.

Barron's: Steve Jobs is worth $20 billion
March 26, 2007 10:51 AM PDT
Add to your del.icio.usdel.icio.us Digg this storyDigg this

Apple CEO Steve Jobs is worth more to his company than any other CEO in the world, as much as $20 billion in market capitalization, according to the annual list of influential CEOs in Barron's Magazine.

In real life, Jobs isn't worth quite that much money, although once you get over a billion, who cares? But were he to leave Apple (willingly or unwillingly), the fallout would cost Apple $16 billion in stock market value, the magazine estimated. In the middle of the Monday trading day, Apple's market capitalization was $82 billion.

The article is behind a paid-subscription wall. But in a free video (for those who don't have any billions) posted on Barron's Web site, associate editor Andrew Bary puts the figure closer to $20 billion. Either way, Jobs is going to have to leave Apple at some juncture, and that day definitely won't be a good day for Apple investors.

Paint.NET is free image editing and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.

It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.

New in this version:
- New: Pencil Sketch effect
- New: In Windows Vista, the new-style Save/Open dialogs are used
- Changed: The View->Units, Image->Flip, Image->Rotate, and Layers->Flip submenus have been "flattened" (their commands were moved out into the View, Image, Image, and Layers menus respectively)
- Improved: Download size reduced by about 300 KB by using PNGOUT
- Improved: Some uses of confusing "MessageBox" style dialogs have been changed to a much friendlier "TaskDialog" style interface
- Improved: When changing the language, Paint.NET can now restart itself automatically
- Improved: Performance for Move Selected Pixels tool for quad-core systems
- Removed: The "Clear History" button has been removed because it was not very useful
- Fixed: Sometimes the Colors window would get "lost" between sessions of Paint.NET
- Fixed: Stack-overflow crash when using certain effects, such as Gaussian Blur, on very large images with certain settings (such as a 200 pixel radius)
- Fixed: When cancelling the multi-image Unsaved Changes dialog, the input focus was sometimes confused
- Changed: Renamed PdnLib.dll to PaintDotNet.Core.dll
- Fixed: Very rare race condition in background thumbnail renderer

Oil at $15 a barrel?
March 28, 2007 8:41 AM PDT
Add to your del.icio.usdel.icio.us Digg this storyDigg this

Garry Anselmo is completely serious when he says that his company, Silverado Green Fuel, can produce a liquid fuel for industrial boilers that will cost about the same as oil, if oil sold for $15 a barrel.
For cars, he says the company's processes can be used to produce barrels of "oil" for car fuel that will cost about half of what conventional oil costs today, which is around $50.

What's the secret? Coal , a word that makes most people's flesh crawl. Silverado takes low-grade coal, pulverizes it and cooks it under pressure with water until it develops a waxy coating. The waxy coal particles are then reunited with carbon-infused water removed at an earlier part of the process to make a liquid fuel. So think of it as a coal latte.

The key to the process is that almost no one wants low-grade brown coal, which is about half water. Instead, coal miners and consumers concentrate on anthracite coal, which contains only about 3 percent water.

And there is a lot of coal out there. In the U.S. alone, the existing coal reserves hold enough coal to produce liquid fuel that would be the equivalent of 800 billion barrels of oil, according to a report earlier this year from Dave Edwards at ThinkEquity Partners. The U.S. right now consumes 21 million barrels of oil a day, according to the Treasury Department, so that's a potentially large cushion. (Edwards, though, also notes that coal-to-liquid companies face high capital costs, legislative regulations and other issues. Most of these projects only make sense if oil stays above $40 a barrel for an extended period.)

Silverado will soon break ground on a $26 million plant in Mississippi that will be capable of producing about the equivalent of 111,000 barrels of oil a year. The Department of Energy is working with the company and the Department of Defense has agreed to buy output from the plant, which will become operational in about 1.5 years.

The company, which is a subsidiary of a gold mining company, will also take measures to protect the environment, Anselmo added, including carbon dioxide capture and sequestration at the plant. The fuel also burns fairly cleanly. Nonetheless, he realizes that it will take a massive effort, and proven results, to win over the public.

"Coal is 200 years of dirty. The proof will be in the pudding," he said. "You're not going to get away from that.

Anselmo, though, says he has time. "They've been fighting wars over oil for 300 years. A few more won't make a difference," he said.

No! 2nd school tells the RIAA

p2pnet.net news:- Another US school has told Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG's RIAA it's not prepared to act as a messenger boy-cum-enforcer.

The RIAA is demanding the University of Maine System hand over names linked to IP addresses but, "The only way the RIAA can get that information is if the RIAA takes us to court to get those names," says system spokesman John Diamond, quoted in the online Maine Campus.

The University of Wisconsin told the Big 4 it wouldn't be a copyright cop, or act as their runner in extorting 'settlement' money from students, p2pnet posted eight days ago.

Now, "[The RIAA] have so many lawyers that they can afford to send frivolous subpoenas right and left, and the mere threat to do so has caused some universities to cave right away," Tony Reaves has Jon Ippolito, a UMaine new media professor and associate curator of media arts at the Guggenheim Museum, stating, going on that the university has taken a "principled stance".

Ippolito said subpoenaing universities won't necessarily hold water in court, and was critical of the RIAA's newest tactics with colleges, a policy he called "mafia-like," the Maine Campus states.

"They want to bully universities into exposing students and also bully students directly into signing onto a discount," Ippolito said. "There's no legal process and that's the end of the story."

The RIAA demand for student information asks the system to violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, "which bars the UMS from divulging information not considered public," says Diamond in the Main Campus, also quoted in Recording Industry vs The People. The site's Ray Beckerman, a New York lawyer who defends RIAA victims, has also drafted an open letter to universities being targeted.

In other defeats, the RIAA has been forced to pull out of a case it brought against a middle aged couple, and has been told it can't personally grill a 10-year-old girl in an alleged file sharing lawsuit it's brought against her mother.

And the bulk of American students are ignoring RIAA efforts to con them into incriminating themselves on a so-called 'settlement' web site.

Is this the beginning of a trend? Stay tuned.

RIAA vs Kylee hits the mainstream,


p2pnet.net news view:- The mainstream media are beginning to pick up on the Kylee Andersen travesty.

That's Kylee the Kopyright Kriminal on the right. You can tell just from looking at her that she's out to do ill to Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG.

Having accused her mother, Tanya, of being an illicit online music distributor, the Big 4 music cartel wanted their RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) lawyers to grill 10-year-old Kylee. Face-to-face.

Was the idea to try to get information from her so they could use it against her mother? Or are they going to claim Kylee herself is another of those "massive online distributors of copyrighted music" who are, according to the multi-billion-dollar Big 4, "devastating" the corporate music industry?

After all, Kylee was seven when the RIAA first zeroed in on her mother, who's disabled and who gets by on a pension. And as every online criminal and thief knows, seven is the perfect age to start as an illegal music distributor.

Judge Donald Ashmanskas partially spiked the RIAA's guns, ruling it can speak with Kylee, but at her home, and by telephone only.

But even that's a farce. The RIAA shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Kylee, by phone or by any other means.

In USA Today's Tech Space, "The RIAA is now attempting to depose 10-year-olds," notes Angela Gunn, going on:

Seriously, the music industry wants to put a ten-year-old girl under oath to be grilled by lawyers. Most of us would be creeped out at the thought of our favorite ten-year-olds spending grownup-type time with their favorite music stars, much less with those stars' lawyers - are we comfortable as a society with the thought of some piece of juris doctor interrogating little girls? Isn't that, like, a Dateline NBC special in the making?

The Kylee case is bad, but it's nothing new. Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG been using their RIAA-like units trampling on the rights of their own customers in North America and abroad for years. And we let them get away with it, somehow forgetting we don't depend on them, they depend on us.

"This has been going on now for two and a half years and has turned my life upside down," Tanya Andersen told me recently. "It continues to be a huge source of stress and chaos in my life. I certainly don't feel like a free human being at this point because it just continues to go on and on--it doesn't seem to matter what proof I give them or what questions I've answered for them."

It's almost the end of March, designated Boycott the RIAA month. So how about extending that into April? And then May? And then .....

There's a ton of excellent and affordable non-corporate music online.

You don't need the Big 4 for that.

ACCESS YOUR ZUNE WITH WINDOWS EXPLORER.......... The Microsoft Zune portable media player contains a miniature hard drive that is used to store your music files, videos and pictures. Unlike most other portable media players, iPods, MP4 players and the like, the Zune does not appear as an external hard drive in My Computer. You cannot copy files to and from it using Windows Explorer. You have to use the somewhat clunky Zune software to add and remove files. This article describes how you can make your Zune portable media player appear to your computer as a portable hard drive so that you can access it using Windows Explorer. However, due to the way the Zune has been designed, there are some limitations to Explorer access that cannot be overcome.....(free).....GO THERE!

http://www.tech-pro.net/how-to-access-zune-windows-explorer.html






How To: Access your Zune hard drive using Windows Explorer

The Microsoft Zune portable media player contains a miniature hard drive that is used to store your music files, videos and pictures. Unlike most other portable media players, iPods, MP4 players and the like, the Zune does not appear as an external hard drive in My Computer. You cannot copy files to and from it using Windows Explorer. You have to use the somewhat clunky Zune software to add and remove files.

This article describes how you can make your Zune portable media player appear to your computer as a portable hard drive so that you can access it using Windows Explorer. However, due to the way the Zune has been designed, there are some limitations to Explorer access that cannot be overcome.

Other Zune software on this site:

* DVD to Zune Converter - the easy way to rip DVDs to watch on your Zune

Zune software controls access

Microsoft included a way to allow the Zune's hard drive to be accessed using Windows Explorer, but by default it is turned off. There is a good reason for this. Allowing songs, videos and pictures to be added to the player only using the Zune software means that after adding new files, the player is ready for immediate use. The internal database of what's on the player gets updated as files are added and removed. Other players that do allow direct access to the hard drive take time to start up, as they have to scan the drive to see what content has been added or removed before allowing the device to be used.

Even though you can enable Explorer access so that you can view the files on the Zune's hard drive using Windows Explorer, you cannot add or remove files unless the Zune software is running on the computer. You cannot copy files to the Zune at all using Windows Explorer. If you try, you'll see an error message. The only way to add songs, pictures and videos is through the synchronization function of the Zune software. This means that you cannot add or remove content using a computer on which the Zune software has not been installed.

You won't see all of the files on your Zune hard drive, either. You'll only see what Microsoft wants you to see. The Zune hard drive is partitioned into two, with one partition holding the system software or operating system. You won't see those files at all.

Although your Zune will appear in Windows Explorer looking like a removable hard drive, you can't access it as a normal hard drive. It won't have a drive letter, so you can't access it directly from other software. And it doesn't behave like a real hard drive, so you can't use data recovery utilities like Music Recovery to restore songs that you have lost or accidentally deleted.
Zune Explorer Enabler

If you still want to enable Explorer access to your Zune hard drive, despite these limitations, then it's easy to do. The method described on most sites involves making changes to your computer's Registry, a complicated and risky process unless you are a computer expert. However, you can download a free utility Zune Explorer Enabler (ZEE) which will make these registry changes for you, and allow you to undo them equally easily, making enabling Explorer access to your Zune hard drive a risk-free process.

Dell to add Linux to desktops and Notebooks

Dell bows to demand for desktop Linux

Vendor listens to customers
Tom Sanders in California, vnunet.com 29 Mar 2007

Dell has promised to add Linux desktop and notebook computers to its product line-up after seeing strong demand from customers.

The announcement on a company blog was short on details, but promised additional information within the coming weeks. Dell will also beef up support for the Linux kernel and open drivers for its computers.

Users have been lobbying the computer maker since February to offer Linux systems. Customers have been using Dell's IdeaStorm website where the company solicits feedback and asks for suggestions.

Dell followed up on the IdeaStorm site with an online poll in which it asked users what they would do on Linux computers. The survey attracted more than 100,000 respondents.

The vendor currently offers Linux bundled on servers and professional workstations. Buyers can purchase some desktop and Linux systems without any operating system and then install Linux, but Dell will not install it in its factories.

Memtest86 - Memory Diagnostic Program

LAST VERSION : 1.70 LAST UPDATE : 01/14/2007

Based on the well-known original memtest86 written by Chris Brady, memtest86+ is a port by some members of the x86-secret team. Our goal is to provide an up-to-date and completly reliable version of this software tool aimed at memory failures detection.

Memtest86+ is, like the original, released under the terms of the Gnu Public License (GPL). No restrictions for use, private or commercial exist other than the ones mentioned in the Gnu Public License (GPL). Texts about the original version was taken from the original website and written by Chris Brady.

History =-

The first version of Memtest86+ was released on early 2004, based on memtest86 v3.0 that was not updated since mid-2002. Our main challenge was to provide an up-to-date version of this useful tool, as reliable than the original. Our work started when we got the first AMD64 system. Unfortunatly, the original memtest v3.0 didn't run at all. After looking at the source code, we fixed the bug.After some days, I saw lot of other things like chipsets or CPU that were not correctly detected or not detected at all. As I'm the chief-editor of a french hardware website (www.x86-secret.com), I have access to lot of recent hardware and I can test and debug on quite all available motherboards on the market. After adding detection for all current CPUs, I've added detection for all current chipsets (SiS, VIA, nVidia, Intel) and ECC Polling for AMD64, i875P and E7205. Then, I decided to display some useful settings for the most popular chipsets. For exemple, on i865PE/i875P series, memtest86+ will now display FSB & Memory frequency, PAT status, memory timings, ECC status and the number of memory channels. Next version will perhaps contain several enhancements and bug-fixes.

Change Log =-

Here is all the change logs for memtest86+ since first release :

*** Enhancements in v1.70 : ***

* New Features
o Add new DMI polling feature
o Add Support for Core/Core2 Solo/Duo/Quad CPU
o Add Support for AMD K8 with DDR2 Memory
o Add Support for Intel CPU with 192/384 KB L2 Cache
o Add Support for FB-DIMM based memory (DMI)
o Add Detection for ALI CyberAladdin-T (M1644)
o Add Detection for Turion 64 X2
o Add Support for ATi Radeon xPress 3200
o Add Support for Intel i975X
o Add Support for Intel Q965/P965
o Add Support for Intel Q963/Q965


Download (Pre-built & ISOs) =-

Here is some pre-compiled distributions of memtest86+. Memtest86+ comes in three different way, first is a pre-build bootable ISO, second is a bootable binary and third an installable package for creating a bootable floppy. Third version are compressed in .zip and .tar.gz.

** Memtest86+ V1.70 (01/14/2007) **
