That is totally irrelevant here. Only a few nations are on the list of "rogue states" that you can't export cryptography tools to, and China is obviously not one of them
Which isn't exactly true. While the iPhone is classified 5A992 and OK to export to CN, 5A00* items are restricted from export to CN without a license or exception.
Presumably he's noting in the sale that the activation key is included. Either way it's still a pointless waste of resources. AutoSue made their money on the sale, they should move on and stop feeding the lawyers.
Considering it's an American company using an American law, I didn't think it was too far of a strech to assume anyone reading the comment would know I was referring to America.
why we're not the leaders of innovation anymore. Seriously, these guys should stop wasting time on this nonsense and innovate already.
They made their money on the sale, go make something else to make more.
Who reads the effing article..
I obviously didn't, the CNN version I caught this morning mentioned none of the previous attempts at educating the participants.
I shall crwal back in my hole now
if the infection rate would have been even lower had they just educated the participants about prevention... All of those infected were thrown to the wolves so to speak just to see what would happen.
What do you have against paying for the content? I wouldn't mind paying a nominal fee to have all of my shows in one spot available on demand, even if they tack a commercial onto the begining.
I would of course demand a level of service to match however, including the ability to watch on my TV via Boxee / Xbox Live or similar.
Not everything can be totally free, I'm cool with paying for things I use.
Depricating Direct Show in favor of their new Media Foundation isn't "blocking third party codecs".
You can still use whatever codec you want, they just don't support it, same as always. Nothing has changed in regards to setting registry entries or using automated hacks to use third party codecs in Windows, the same as it was for Vista and XP.
A lot of really smart people saw this coming, but as long as the money is flowing people have a tendancy to see it in a different light, ie: "Oh, I'll get out before this catches up to me, because I'm Smart".
It should go without saying that buying anything at auction, meatspace or digital, is a risky venture if you don't know what you're buying.
A fool and their money are soon parted, eBay just makes the process easier for the scammer.
That's my point, they're releasing drivers every month that don't actually fix anything. High bitrate H.264 video using hardware acceleration on ATI boards produces all sorts of weird problems, green screen, green blocks etc. Well again, it's not really the board but the drivers.
I made the unfortuneate error of choosing an ATI product over an nVidia product when making my selection when building my media center machine. Even though the specs were similar and the ATI board was $5 more I went with ATI because of the superior scaling options for HD panels. This was prior to nVidia's driver update that kinda threw it together.
The newest Catalyst drivers will not display high bitrate video. They borked it up sometime after the 8.7 release, of course I could just use the 8.7 version right, except it doesn't have the scaling options...
I stand by my original post, if it doesn't work, it's a waste of money regardless of what they charge. Fine boards, crappy drivers.

I have a bettor idea for you, spend a couple of those billable hours and buy the lappy outright!
Then you don't have to worry about them turning it off for not paying your bill.
Oh wait, you were just shooting off at the mouth, carry on.
Take your "700mb format" movies and shove 'em right up your ass.
You asses, sorry aussies, are unable to change your own sorry situation so you find yourself filled with some sick sort of happiness when it starts happening to other people. Makes you seem somehow less alone and worthless.

Seriosly, you suck, your ISP sucks and your country sucks. Unlike you worthless pieces of shit we're going to do something about it rather than just roll over and let our ISP's and our government slide it in.
Tell you what, next time you feel like posting a holier-than-thou response, do us all a favor and go swim with a stingray.
Doesn't work like that. Before the DoJ even brings charges (in most cases) the settlement has already been made. In the small percentage of cases that aren't pre-settled, it's basically because the charged parties have not answered the proposed charging letters and have not yet re-entered the US.
'Course once they set foot on US soil or a country which has extradition treaties with the US (which includes extradition for export violations, which most don't) then it's game over as they have already been "tried" and convicted in absentia.

What if China were to, I don't know, just not export the 5A00* to the US in the first place? It was built there.
Nobody ever said laws had to be sane :)

To top it off they slap ITAR on it to make it a pain in the balls to sell it to anyone BUT the govt.
Yes, because the preparation for "H" feels good on the whole...
You sir are hereby granted 10 internets for almost making me choke on my mini-muffin.

This is a whole lotta FUD spreading.

Most angencies have an enforcement arm, Census just got theirs last year. Yeap, even the Census department has a branch with badges and guns now.

$99 or $500, if it don't work it don't work.

They do get paid a "fair" percentage of the sale. The percentage they agreed to in their contract with the record company.

You're under the mistaken impression that anyone cares what you say. Vigilanteism is no solution. Education and awareness are.
