Nah, implying a plural subject with a singular word that signifies a group of people is one of those English constructions that is actually technically correct in some dialects... It's popular in Britain. The UK do it all the time...
That's ridiculous! How do they expect to store and re-write to film an image at any kind of quality while keeping costs down??? I am not an expert in the field, so I will yield to the floor; does anyone know if this is feasible, to have a system whereby the image is stored in a buffer and then written to film when the next shot is taken? It would seem to really hurt the quality.
The downside with the el-cheapo sniffers is they don't tell you if the AP is locked down or not. I think your best bet currently is still a PDA with decent sniffing software.
Oh come on, Slashdotters. Don't mod up as Insightful a post that none of you could possible know to be true. It may SOUND insightful, but linuxislandsucks has clearly never taken a law class in his life.
People you forget Fair Use only applies if you do not in any way make money off of the copy..
You either made this up in your head or you were severely deceived by someone else who has also not taken a law class.
Here's some counterexamples to your grossly flawed blanket statement:
---When a newspaper quotes a passage from a book because there is controversy over the words, guess what? The newspaper is making money off of a fair use of the copyrighted material.
---When Weird Al (or 2 Live Crew [92-1292]) copies a song's exact notes, phrasings, and sometimes lyrics, he is copying copyrighted material, FOR PROFIT, and it is a fair use.
I could go on and on. Check out the 2 Live Crew case for a landmark decision in fair use.
This is also a pretty good beginner's reference for fair use.
No, it's not. It's the exact same as writing a note to the person next to you on your notebook. It's no more audible than pen scribbles, can be completely silent if you try hard enough, and to all bystanders is indistinguishable from taking notes.
Talking in class is none of those.

Jack type? Psssh... Who needs a jack when you've got the Bluetooth Car Kit?
This is somewhat like what you described, only a billion times better. Basically, you get in your car with your phone in your pocket or jacket or briefcase or wherever... And turn on your car. And that's it. Your phone is connected to the handsfree system and you can make calls using the voice dial or whatever you want.
The idea that I have to license a copy of Windows to vote is extremely repugnant
Yeah, it is, but who ever suggested it? Even if that were the ONLY way to vote (which it will likely NEVER be), are you really going to suggest that public polling places will disappear?
Come on. That's a completely ridiculous notion. Do you think because all polling places are not within walking distance of my apartment that I have to buy a car to vote? Surely you don't.
And how many lines of code would it take to block the whole message at the mail server? This could be an option the user could enable, and then the server itself only downloads the header before rejecting the message.
Heh. Sounds like UGA... I always see the shifty-eyed guys picking up books without a list. Who memorizes ALL your classes and section numbers? Not may people at UGA I know.
I've always thought the buyback counter should be OUTSIDE the turnstiles downstairs so that you couldn't run that exact scam...
I'll admit it's pretty tempting at the off-campus bookstores to load up and set the books down, only for my accomplice to walk in, pick them up, and walk straight to the buyback counter... Too bad I have a conscience.
Now, the campus police at UGA are so ineffective (I worked for them), they'd probably have some rule against prosecuting shoplifters and they'd just get a slap on the wrist (unless they were athletes, in which case they just look the other way.)
How about people who regard aesthetics in as high a regard as engineering specs?...They've all been sorely disappointed with Apple's processing power for the last decade?
I was told by several Blockbuster employees that this actually decreased their revenues from late fees (now this is in a college town, so ymmv) because a large portion of returners came just after midnight the day after they were rented (which would be late on the old plan and is ok on the new plan).
Now, that doesn't change the horrid fact that late fee revenue accounts for like 60% of their income...
I would say that pornography is visual depictions of sex, sex acts, or sexually pleasing images, all only in the context that it is or could be providing sexual pleasure to someone. That said, some pornography is completely harmless (i.e. pictures of people relaxing on a nude beach) but since it's sexually pleasing to some people, it becomes pornography. I wouldn't freak out just because a kid saw a picture of a woman breastfeeding (and don't kid yourself into thinking there isn't porn for people who like that!) Is my definition wrong in some gapingly obvious way? I know that that would make Maxim or the Victoria's Secret catalog or a medical textbook pornography, but I think they fit the definition if they are used for a certain purpose.
OK now. Seriously. Whoever wrote that blurb had their RC helicopter drop some seriously fucked-up sugar cubes in their coffee this morning. "It's not for sale" "buy one here" "Some gallerys and videos on the page" "100 grams or lighter now."
Damn. I just wrote a post here lamenting the fact that this happened, but now you've made me remember all the crap I learned in my Mass Comm. Law class. You're totally right, and this is one of the most insightful posts in the thread. If I hadn't already posted AND had mod points, I would totally mod you up for being exactly in line with how I learned the law.

Yep. Like Netstumbler for PocketPC.
And yes, I feel like a karma-whoring-linker today.
Kensington's got one that's $10 cheaper and much more elegant.

It's the exact same as talking "very quietly".
No, it's not. It's the exact same as writing a note to the person next to you on your notebook. It's no more audible than pen scribbles, can be completely silent if you try hard enough, and to all bystanders is indistinguishable from taking notes.

Check out the TiVo community forum...
Every single feature you just described is available in some form or another. I know it supports YAC.
Bollocks, don't be daft, guv'na!
Just bugger it for a game of soldiers and Bob's your uncle, no more Telly!
Come on, I paid $99 for a Tivo 18 months ago...
There's no "Besides, even if they get the hardware down to $100" about it.

The "animated" seems redundant since all games are animated
Not really. I mean, some games have hours of cinematic footage that could easily (and sometimes is) not animated but live-action.
How about people who regard aesthetics in as high a regard as engineering specs? ...They've all been sorely disappointed with Apple's processing power for the last decade?
Why, yes, CD-R's are MUCH cheaper!!! Especially for really big batches. Why, they just get cheaper and cheaper the more you buy!
I think you're confused.
I was told by several Blockbuster employees that this actually decreased their revenues from late fees (now this is in a college town, so ymmv) because a large portion of returners came just after midnight the day after they were rented (which would be late on the old plan and is ok on the new plan).

It's multiple tones at one time... Think MIDI ringers for your phone.

Great joke, but, um, is it really that hard to sneak up on someone in a theater?
If the worms can survive the crash, why can't they build the whole shuttle out of whatever worms are made of?
OK now. Seriously. Whoever wrote that blurb had their RC helicopter drop some seriously fucked-up sugar cubes in their coffee this morning. "It's not for sale" "buy one here" "Some gallerys and videos on the page" "100 grams or lighter now."

We've been hearing about the advantages of blue light for seemingly years now. It's cool to see a product prepare for market that actually uses it.
Interesting that you say that... You see, for me, It's been cool to see a product prepare for market that actually uses it for seemingly years now.
