VMware's virtualization platform runs on Intel architecture and most deployments of the tools are on systems using Intel chips. What? It doesn't run on anything else anymore? I wasn't aware that the x86 instruction set was used solely by Intel now.
AllOfMP3 has been a thorn in the side of the RIAA and the US government for years. Last year, U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab said that if Russia wants to join the WTO, they should shut down the pirate music website [AllOfMP3] that is robbing U.S. recording companies of sales. Isn't that bribery?
bribe (plural bribes)
I think your confusing real-world mutation with movie/sci-fi mutation. They are hardly the same. Mutations are almost always: 1.Useless 2.Harmful in some way to the creature 3.Lost in the next generation(assuming the creature can breed)
So, a little more 5 legged frog, and a little less sharks with freakin laser beams.
Identifying delegates as "application providers", he said it was their responsibility to compete with broadband incumbents by offering their own service, founded initially on portions of the 700Mhz spectrum. This spectrum will be sold under auction once terrestrial TV providers complete their move to digital in February 2009. What the hell does that have to do with the ramifications of ending net neutrality? "Oh, we're screwing the consumer over be letting these monopolistic behaviors continue. But don't worry, heres some old shit that the cable industry doesn't use. Have fun!"
Ok, your logic is confusing.
They are aiding the RIAA in their extortion scheme by forwarding the extortion letters, when they do not need to do so.
As with any other ISP, if they don't forward the letters when asked, the RIAA's next step is to file the John Doe suit, subpoena the records, and obtain the names. The step following that on the RIAA's playbill is to DROP THE JOHN DOE SUIT AND SEND THE LETTER. Ok, so your saying that if they dont forward the letter, the RIAA will sue anyways. How is the outcome of that any better than if they forward the letter?
Recording the DHCP lease information is aiding and abetting? Perhaps you should talk to your ISP about how much info they log before you so casually incriminate UW. The students are using their(read: UW's) service, and thusly agree to their terms of use. Its hardly uncommon to log information about which system is using which resources on a network of that size.
Lets try RTFA.
If the UW didn't do so, the industry would file a lawsuit against a John Doe or Jane Doe and subpoena the university for the person's identity, Godfrey said.
"This isn't a matter of the university cooperating with the recording industry," he said. "We all concluded that to not pass these along to our students would be unacceptable and more costly to them." They are not giving the students names to the RIAA, just letting them know the RIAA intends to file suit if they dont settle now. They are actually giving those receiving these notices time to find representation and legal help.
I would prefer having a few weeks to discuss my options with a lawyer rather then get hit with a summons out of the blue.
This is being used to advance the technology of Mind Control, not to make a VR video game for paraplegics.
In this way, the system can be trained to identify the distinctive patterns of neuronal activity produced when they imagine walking forwards, or think about moving either their left or right arm.
The technology might be used to help people who have experienced a stroke recover greater control over their movements, suggests Christoph Guger, of Guger Technology in Graz, who helped develop the EEG part of the experimental set-up.
For all of 2005 and most of 2006, MySpace was the cool thing for high school teens and Facebook was the cool thing for college students. This is not to say that MySpace was solely high school or Facebook solely college, but there was a dominating age division that played out in the cultural sphere. Ok, so this equates to the rule that little kids think older kids are automatically cool. Not worth reading the whole paper imho. Nothing new here.
Population of the US(with internet access): 204 million
Proposed "intellectual property crime": "hundreds of billions [of dollars]
Assuming we go with a VERY safe margin of 300 billion dollars, that means that each US citizen is meant to have pirated 1400 dollars. I think thats a little extreme, dont you?
Can one of these open source movies gain some public eye?
Indie films are starting to be recognized, so I think there is a good chance it can be done and receive recognition. As to the game, I wish there was more info available. Too early to judge, but it has promise:)
"I have yet to see any actual *reasons* for licensing under the GPLv3, though. All I've heard are shrill voices about "tivoization" (which I expressly think is ok) and panicked worries about Novell-MS (which seems way overblown, and quite frankly, the argument seems to not so much be about the Novell deal, as about an excuse to push the GPLv3)."
No one is forcing anyone to use this. If you dont like it, chose another licensing scheme. And please, lets not bring up Novell/MS again...
This is non-news. Lets not get worked up into a frenzy over it.
No no, your all wrong.
They funded SG project with all the money they siphoned from NASA when they faked the moon landings.
Any REAL nerd would know that...
Im not on TWC or RR, but a small(most likely a reseller) Cablelynx. I have noticed the same thing over the last 3 weeks.
Absurdly slow traffic to youtube/google video, while other flash video streams seem to work fine. I used to pull a strong 800-900k down on bittorrent, suddenly can only get about 300k. Its ridiculous...
I used to have a ping of 22 to my hosted server @ the planet in Dallas TX. Now its about 80 at best.
Sickening.
Yes, but only if it gets pushed out before its ready.
Proper planning and recources could make the transistion easy. But, most likely the deadlines will be unrealisted, the funding will be inadaqate and it will cause issues. Go figure...

Laser weapons are stupid. They are not efficient in an atmosphere. Its been proven many many times. Get over it nerds, this isn't star.
Think about it. Wii NEEDS TV. Quite impossible to play one without a TV. Not to mention, their primary advertising is to young people on TV.
Actually, October 2006 saw the release of the latest revision, 3.0b. Still, I agree. This is old news.
Im sick and tired of having to view 11 pages of adds to read an article that could easily fit on one. Easily 6 adds per page.
The Wikipedia ACPI article is better and doesn't shove crappy adds down your throat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI
"Newly Declassified Windows Film [...]"
I was like... 'wtf would Microsoft have done that was classified?' I still think it would have been more interesting that way.
This is non-news. Just some crap that will be bought by the paranoid. Whats next? Roofing underlayment that blocks free radicals?
1. Something (usually money) given in exchange for influence or as an inducement to dishonesty. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bribe
Is it a crime if you use a gun with a 'cartoon appearance'? Or does it then become a 'cartoon crime'?
Not only is this idea completely unrealistic, doesn't it violate unalienable rights? I thought those were supposed to be protected...
Whats next? Arrested for gazing upon a copyrighted building design. Come on...

Agreed. Just because you can make something doesn't mean you should.
Ive been microsoft free four months now. Not looking back. Well... except for my counterstrike box;P
