Single Verizon IP Address Used For Hundreds of Windows 7 Activations

A presumed pirate with an unusually large appetite for activating Windows 7 has incurred the wrath of Microsoft. In a lawsuit filed in a Washington court, Microsoft said that it logged hundreds of suspicious product activations from a single Verizon IP address and is now seeking damages. Who he, she or they are behind address 74.111.202.30 is unknown at this point, but according to Microsoft they’re responsible for some serious Windows pirating. “As part of its cyberforensic methods, Microsoft analyzes product key activation data voluntarily provided by users when they activate Microsoft software, including the IP address from which a given product key is activated,” the lawsuit reads. The company says that its forensic tools allow the company to analyze billions of activations of software and identify patterns “that make it more likely than not” that an IP address associated with activations is one through which pirated software is being activated.

GOG’s Take On Steam Goes Live Today

GOG Galaxy, which you can download here, is now in open beta. Like Steam, Origin, and other PC gaming clients, it’s a stand-alone program with its own achievements, friend lists, and massively restrictive DRM. Just kidding. Anyone who follows the people behind GOG—a subsidiary of _Witcher 3 _developer CD Projekt Red—knows they’re as anti-DRM as it gets.

CoreOS Gives Up Control of Non-Docker Linux Container Standard | Data Center Knowledge

Taking a major step forward in its quest to drive a Linux container standard that’s not created and controlled by Docker or any other company, CoreOS spun off management of its App Container project into a stand-alone foundation. Google, VMware, Red Hat, and Apcera have announced support for the standard.

Becoming a more formalized open source project, the App Container (appc) community now has a governance policy and has added a trio of top software engineers that work on infrastructure at Google, Twitter, and Red Hat as “community maintainers.

Apple pushing music labels to kill free Spotify streaming ahead of Beats relaunch

The Verge has learned that Apple has been pushing major music labels to force streaming services like Spotify to abandon their free tiers, which will dramatically reduce the competition for Apple’s upcoming offering. DOJ officials have already interviewed high-ranking music industry executives about Apple’s business habits, but it appears the FTC has taken the lead in recent weeks.

Even the most sleep-deprived internetter knows of the power that sleep & dreams have over our daily lives. Tonight on Jupiter@Nite, we delve into the mysteries of these nocturnal phenomenons, and share our personal tales of sleep disorders, as well sharing our thoughts on naps, lucid dreaming, dream interpretations, deja vu, and much more.

Tonight’s Show Notes & Download Below:

SLEEP

Sleep Disorders

● Chris suffers from Sleep Apnea

● Jeremy suffers from Restless Leg Syndrome (probably – not diagnosed)

● Alan suffers from Sleep Deprivation (while on his boat trips)

Why Do We Sleep?

● Chemical levels change significantly.

● Leading theories indicate this is a form of adaptive evolution, so that we’re not active and ‘wasting’ energy during unproductive hours of the day.

○ If this is the case, we could (theoretically) use chemical therapy to adapt the human race to not need sleep. Ever.

What About Naps?

● The Art of the Caffeine Power Nap

Sleeping in can help you “catch up” from a busy, sleepless week

Dr David Dinges, who led the study, said: “The additional hour or two of sleep in the morning after a period of chronic partial sleep loss has genuine benefits for continued recovery of behavioural alertness.”

Congress passes legislation requiring airline pilots to get a good night’s sleep

Among the new requirements, is the creation of a national pilot itinerary intended to reduce pilot fatigue, by more efficiently scheduling flights (no more 24+ hour shifts)

DREAMS

Do dreams matter?

● Centuries of belief & tradition tell us that dreaming is an altered, perhaps “higher” state of consciousness which reveals truths about ourselves and the world around us.

● Modern neuroscience tells us that dreams are nothing more than the random firing of memory-related neurons, and that our mind attempts to catalogue these firings into worthwhile narratives while we sleep, for easy access (kind of like indexing a hard drive?).

● Symbology

○ The idea that specific imagery in a dream ALWAYS means the same thing, for everyone.

● Deja Vu (not the strip club, the phenomenon)

○ Has never been reproduced in a laboratory setting (drugs, MRI, etc)

How to Lucid Dream

Lucid Dreams allow you to be aware that you are dreaming, without waking up. (Usually)

Lead Designer of Fallout 3 Designs in his Dreams

Emil Pagliarulo: “My dreams are usually so coherent that I’d say seven out of ten times, they’re very normal and I can wake up and remember everything that happened. I have designed scenarios in my sleep… It’s started happening in the last few years. Some of my best ideas have come to me when I’ve been dreaming, and they’re fleshed out enough that I can wake up and start writing them down.”
