Couldn't this become a huge target for hackers/terrorists/people with nothing better to do to try and find out classified secrets? Somehow I think that putting this sort of information on the web (and I don't care how you think you can lock it down) isn't a smart idea.
Well, some newer car stereos have USB ports so you can play mp3's off a Flash drive.
The industry probably expects DVD Players (or even tv's) to have a USB port in which to plug this in and watch the movie. The fact this doesn't already exists on the market is irrelevant.
The industry also expects me to buy their inferior product.
I've seen cases where people who put ad pages on domains have been accused of squatting when they have in fact been using the domain for other services.
I think the problem is defining what is and is not "Legitimate".
International contracts work like a normal contract, if someone breaks that contract then you can take them to court, but if they are outside that courts jurisdiction they can ignore the ruling.
I've had overseas contracts broken before and I know not to deal with those parties again. If I win a judgement in court and they ignore it, then they could be punished for disobeying the court but only if they enter the courts jurisdiction e.g my country.
That's a harsh punishment if you happen to be using the domain for email.
The email I have listed here on/. was just being used as a temporary address while I changed ISPs back in 2003, but it's not that easy to change email address because not only do you need to update ALL your contacts, but you must also change your details on everything your registered to and it becomes a real pain in the ass. I changed from my old isp address out of necessity and would not go through the hassle again (the reason I still use this address).
Ive never had any issues with receiving SMS on China Mobile. I suggest the author get a decent service provider because this problem has never existed for me.
that's perfectly fair, the ISP shouldn't be landed with the cost of someone providing public service, altho I would have though the existence of packet sniffers should be reason enough.

Exactly,
It only takes one asshole to leave a WiFi point open.

and we thought the MySpace photo leakage was bad!
It wouldn't be our problem for very long.
Has it not occurred to anyone that this is a rival company talking about their competitors product?
at $1 each, you don't need to re-use them.

With ever increasing broadband the future is in bittorrent, no DRM.
My usb drive filled with movies works on any platform.
writing all bits to zero? (still retrievable)
How is that possible, I assume it's a hardware vulnerability?
If facebook claims ownership of content, then I can sue them if a user uploads my copyrighted works?
But how many people look at their router?
Most people would not even know what that "Box thingy" is for.

Yes but only if you are domain name squatting... You aren't.
How do you prove that someone is not using a domain for email? Unless they have blank MX records.
(Its really a good idea to never use an ISP email address.. Keep yourself independent of whatever your current provider happens to be.)
That's one reason I never moved to the new ISP's mail, I'll never use another domain for email that is not my own, the freedom is good.
So much spam that my ISP had disabled my procmail filter for using too many system resources filtering my incoming spam.
My service provider shut down my catch-all for the excessive levels of spam,
catch-all + Spam Assassin = Fun
Why?
No one ever lies online.

Unless they happen to be in a different country, then they are under no obligation to honour the contract.
"It's not for sale, except if you offer me big $$$".
That's how it is with anything that doesn't have "For Sale" written on it.
You should see them quadruple their offer then. It's called hardball.
Or they bring out the lawyers and everybody loses. It wouldn't be the first time, either.
I think this link is more informative about the nissan.com issue.
Its always good to see the underdog win.
It was the same for me.
The problem is nothing to do with China and everything to do with the United States shitty cellphone networks.

We can worry about that when it's too late.
Have fun with all of our overage charges!

Not when your neighbour has Wireless.
