Here's an idea…
Pay CEOs private-sector-level salaries but have them shot at the end of the year if they've not performed-cranioscopical (April 14, 2011, 08:14 PM)

Hm... I have long hair, but I quit smoking weed years ago, and while I like the whole green thing to an extent, I think global warming is bull shit.
I have no idea what to make of this 1% issue...
Why don't they find out what 20% of it is caused by and bitch about that instead?-Stoic Joker (April 14, 2011, 02:23 PM)
Non-Profit Pays Bristol Palin $262,500, Donates Only $35,000 to Charity
Hah, that's hilarious. Of course if it was fully legal they could just grow out outdoors where there's plenty of natural light and the plants would actually be pulling carbon dioxide from the air...

Encryption: first, all connections in Tor use TLS link encryption, so observers can't look inside to see which circuit a given cell is intended for. Further, the Tor client establishes an ephemeral encryption key with each relay in the circuit, so only the exit relay can read the cells. Both sides discard the circuit key when the circuit ends, so logging traffic and then breaking into the relay to discover the key won't work.
Yes, it's possible, but why would you want to?-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
Primarily curiosity.It will slow down your transfers a lot.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
Anytime encryption is involved, I assume performance will be sacrificed (that's just the nature of making any given workload bigger than it was to start with). Out side of that, is there and additional performance hit?-Stoic Joker (April 13, 2011, 06:51 AM)
If you could get the TOR client to act as a proxy server, then route everything through that, tada!-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
think I'm missing the distinction. A proxy is/would be at the network edge anyhow ... So why not just make it the router and then let the servers (only) bypass the Onion part?-Stoic Joker (April 13, 2011, 06:51 AM)
If you're looking for anonymity, try www.iPredator.se. It's a VPN with no client records kept. They don't keep payment info, and they don't keep logs. It also slows down though. But it's easy.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
I don't really have anything specific to hide ... I'm just curious about the technology ... And was thinking of doing some "Live Fire" testing with it.-Stoic Joker (April 13, 2011, 06:51 AM)
I've also been seriously thinking of switching ISPs (to a fiber connection) and a Linux box flavored router solution might be fun when I do it.-Stoic Joker (April 13, 2011, 06:51 AM)

Win7 has been so stable. Will Windows users adopt Win8 early, or wait until the next new computer buy? Should be a fun year once it hits.-zridling (April 12, 2011, 11:11 PM)
Wait a minute - if folks are actually going to attempt to defend what DivX did then we had better start a new thread.
Don’t speak as if we had a choice with DivX; nothing was open or upfront last time. All was deception. DivX did do some evil. And regarding Gmail I don’t think that's a valid comparison either. I use Gmail very little personally, but at least Google made it abundantly clear when they launched Google Mail that it was ad-driven. DivX dii all under the table, hidden.
Please don’t insult us with DivX apologist nonsense.

Perhaps the best solution to that 'problem' is to write software people are actually willing to pay for?
And if that proves impossible, do something else for a living?
That's how it works with just about everything else.-40hz (April 11, 2011, 08:13 PM)

Yikes. This code exposes an application to trivial SQL injection attacks and should never have been posted. It contravenes every best practice.

There are unintended consequences to Google's success and approach to business that are insidious. Because its core business is so damned profitable, the company can dabble in other segments (that might or might not be core to its long-term strategy). In so doing, the company perverts the economics of that market.
Let me put this a different way. I have a concealed weapons license, and frequently carry a gun. Banks have very high security concerns ... yet when I go to the bank, I am (and will be) carrying said a gun. Should I be accosted at the door because of what I might do? No. My actions are perfectly legal. Even though the fact that I'm standing in a bank, with a gun, does help facilitate robbing the place. It doesn't alter the simple fact that I have absolutely no intentions of doing so.
OC is simply asking for - and I feel deserves - the same courtesy.-Stoic Joker (April 11, 2011, 11:33 AM)
I am sure if you had a criminal record of armed robbery they would never have given you that concealed weapons license.
Unfortunately, in the software world, there is no equivalent to that kind of license. If there was, it is unlikely OC would have ever been given one for what the founders did while at DivX. (there is your equivalent to armed robbery) And even if they had been given one, it would probably have been revoked long ago for the unique tracking IDs, stealthy registry entries, the opt-out flip-flop they made back in September, and a few other things (there is your equivalent to assault and battery).-app103 (April 11, 2011, 06:51 PM)
can we stop this please? I posted instructions that will ensure that not only will the adware not launched, but it will also never be able to connect to the internet... you can even remove it if you keep a single registry key... is that so bad? no person that has complained has truly understood why the adware is there in the first place.. it's the damned mpeg-4 licensing fees. Apple has not release QT6 so far because of this.. DXn now has.. but had to find a way to cover their costs.
divx3 is illegal.. I think we can all agree on that. xvid's license says educational use only.. of course we don't do that.. but in a legal way that makes it illegal, too. Same goes for lame where nobody pays mp3 licensing fees either. While we as private users we don't have to worry about this too much (and most people don't even know it but go flaming DXn anyways), corporations do have to worry.
And the whole "you owe me something" attitude that's being shown about DivX5 really sickens me. Nobody owes you a codec. Absolutely nobody. Take it or leave it!
I've disabled the ads and am now encoding to find out if DivX5 really is better than its predecessor.. and then face off the best parameters against XviD and SBC. That is a much more useful activity than flaming around.
Case closed.. I don't want any more of this on this forum.
It's recommend that you don't use this guide. Why? Because we are getting the opportunity to use this codec free of charge and one of the few ways DivXNetworks(DXN) can make money is by using adware and selling the pro codec. The more money they make the more resources they can make available to improve on future codecs they release. If more and more people disable the adware, DXN might have to start charging us for the use of their codec. Of course this is all up to you :-)... by powerdup
Yes, it's quite normal, mealworms are regular food for such animals. I'm extremely surprised to hear that they survived the eating and digestion process. In fact unless their identity (on the way out) as mealworms was verified, I might be more inclined to suspect some other parasitic worm got involved. Either way it's creepy though.
