Media Center FTW - even Microsoft kinda got it right for once.
Turns on and off with my remote, flip through podcasts with the remote (TVTonic), not to mention having all my movies and music in one place accessible by remote.
I was wondering how long it would take before someone would link Bush to this./sigh.
And seriously, just what exactly makes the parent's post "Insightful"? Is it the way they were able to shoehorn a Bush/Iraq jab into TOTALLY unrelated discussion?
I remember when I was 9 or 10 and the family computer could hold 10 gigs. That was nearly unfillable at the time.
Sorry, just being nostalgic Okay, how many read this and said quietly to themselves "Man I'm old..."?
I would suppose that you would be able to claim the same protections that ISPs if you are found not to be responsible for the illegal activity, it still would not protect you from an actual visit from the 5-0.
Anything they find in your home/PC would still be fair game
No, just because they are currently getting away with it by no means makes it legal. From OFAC: "TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING U.S. AFFILIATES - No U.S. person may approve or facilitate the entry into or performance of transactions or contracts with Iran by a foreign subsidiary of a U.S. firm that the U.S. person is precluded from performing directly. Similarly, no U.S. person may facilitate such transactions by unaffiliated foreign persons."
Right now it's not in the best interest of the BIS or the Tresury Department to pursue the matter, but don't think they won't in the future. Most charges that are brought against companies don't appear until years after the violation, take a look at a few, look at some of the names of the companies that thought what they were doing was legal.
The BIS has a very long memory and for all we know, they're still putting a case together. If they're going to take on a serving administration's pet company, you'd have to be sure you have your ducks in a row and saluting.
I mean, come on now, you really think that if they didn't have a sitting Vice President in their back pocket that they would REALLY allow their spokeswoman to talk right out of her ass like that?
It's illegal for them to deal with Iran from anywhere. The EAR classifies 'ol Hal as a US entity and therefore subject to the restrictions in the EAR regardless of where they operate.
Unless of course their execs want to drop citizenship and any hope of trade with the US (they would be fined into oblivion and denied export privies, which means no other US entity could do business with them.)
Losing the ability to export is more than enough to keep most companies in line.
Of course that's not saying they won't try, or succeed for that matter, at least for a little while. I just don't think with the big ass spotlight on them that they would get very far.
...nothing to see here. GoDaddy has been known for a long time to be an unfriendly registrar.
Wanna get GoDaddy to knock a site down? Send in a spam complaint, or two! It's fun! They'll even happily charge the domain owner a fee to resume access to the domain.

God damned time
They paid a settlement of $8M, and a quarterly license fee prior to that.

I think it's funny you were modded troll when 3 posts down the same mention of Bush's remark was modded +5 insightful

So in other words you'd place it's head squarely up its ass
