It seems to me that slashdot editors (or story submitters) go out of their way to word the stories in a way that their dupeness is not immediately obvious...
Don't do that. It would be uselessly expensive and complex.
Go with a false ceiling with moveable drop columns instead for 110volts (network cables could be hung freely, but of course this would not look as nice). Much cheaper, as the ceiling is lightweight tiles (they don't have to support your weight and the furniture), and it's easy to pull the wires around as you don't have to move the furniture about.
That is because America has a legal system based on the Common Law. Just like England and Australia.
Countries based on a Civil Law system such as France allow people to get rulings from a court prior to them performing an act. For example, if you were in France you could go to a court and ask "Can I download this file?" You will be given a definite "Yes" or "No" and that statement made by the court will be binding.
This can be done in common-law countries too. The canadian federal government just has been asking the Supreme Court of Canada if allowing gay marriages would be constitutionnal before submitting a bill to the federal parliament.
The FCC rule aims to limit people from sending copies of digital television programs over the Internet. The FCC has said copyright protections are needed to help speed the adoption of digital television.
Total bollocks. The only thing that's necessary to "help speed" the adoption of digital TV is the FCC to say "Ok, now everything's digital, analog is outlawed". Nothing more.
The kid has nothing at all. He's canadian. He just should get the fuck-out of the US and leave Apple high and dry, get his medical doctor degree in Canada and that's it. In Canada, he's beyond the reach of the US law anyways.
In this, he has learned the very valuable lesson that americans are hardcore sonovabitches you don't need to deal with.
If you don't think that Blockbuster edits it's films, rent "Bedrooms and Hallways". I saw it first in a theater, then rented it later for friends. The Blockbuster rented film was confusing, and really not as good, because the film had all the sex scenes edited out that were between men.
I once saw the Blues Brothers at a friend's who rented it, and I was totally pissed that the scene where they park the car in a garage so tiny they have to go out through the windows, right before they get to the hotel, was cut-out (you saw the car go in the alley, then the two guys coming out of it. At least, though, they didn't cut princess Leïa and her rocket launcher, though...)
Still happens. Job on Dice a couple weeks ago wanted "9+ years Active Directory experience" and "5+ years Exchange 2003."
I sent a message to the company about how this was impossible, and he was a real idiot back to me.

He must say "Hmmm! Look at all the chickens, ripe for the plucking"...

And it was not the first time it did that either.

What's a gaurentee ???
(Reposted, account some asshole moderating it as "flamebait")
You're either a spammer, or worse, a sockpuppet.
Now crawl back from under that rock you came from, scumbag.
Too bad canadian law only applies in Canada...
Do they have USB gravity wave detectors, so we could hook'em to our bozen too???
I only found out when I turned the TV on...
