lexisnexis now handles the most prominent legal review and processing tools as it's bread and butter - it acquired ICE (image capture engineering) which puts out LAW (and formerly z-print) for handling metadata extraction, scanning, tiffing, OCR and sql integration and concordance which is the most prominent legal review tool for attorneys in the industry. They used to just be a search company but after their acquisitions became a pretty big juggernaut in civil litigation- think of what adobe is to artists lexisnexis is to lawyers.
well, one thing concerning laptops that is a pain around all of this, that I have had to deal with is hardware drivers for xp- a lot of the newer laptops do not contain xp drivers, only vista compatible drivers and when xp is installed you have to spend hours trying component manufacturer and third party drivers to make the thing work right- so yes, you can just pop xp on the machine, but it only half works without the drivers.
Thus, I call serious shenanigans on this 12,000/week claim.
I disagree- one of my co-workers has a friend that is a pilot and once things go unclaimed in the L&F for a period (I believe it is 3 weeks) it is open season for the employees- he gets laptops, blackberries, psp's, ds's and any number of other things- a while back he got an xbox 360- we will trek to his house every now and again as he resells all of the stuff - so we get cheap tech.
actually from all that I have read, windex is corrosive to the lcd- as well it can over time take of the lettering off the keyboard- my suggestion would be to do the old standby- 1/2 isopropyl alcohol and 1/2 water solution- dampen cloth (preferably microfiber) and wipe gently
true, but you would be able to gauge distance between objects and anything that is not flat on you would be able to flatten gaps in between the objects- as it is right now any app that does generation bases it's interpretation on a model eg: basic model of head- attempts to mold model to portrait, in the future the mesh itself would be able to be auto generated- apps aren't smart enough right now to see shape and distance, so far as I know no one has build a foreshortening\perspective engine to detect it in a rasterized image
Ehm.... Not really: exchange the harddisk with a spare. Document the process with pictures and serial numbers. for what purpose- that would not hold up in court- you would need to provide chain of custody- otherwise you could be liable for any number of things by both the company you work for and the person who was surfing porn.
I work in this field- extracting metadata and tracking chain of custody on relevant electronic documents for court use- when someone who is not informed in the field tries to do something like this it usually ends up in the court throwing out evidence.
Chicken or egg? Not an interesting question, in my opinion. There has been piracy since the birth of the games industry. This hasn't prevented them from becoming so large they are now on par with the movie industry. that's right.....
don't copy that floppy!
Reminds me of the DRM used a few years ago (still is?) where the game was faster cracked since it wasn't constantly scanning the CD drive verifying the disc was still in there. That is why a hacked psp is better than a OFW one- it reads incredibly faster off of the mem stick vs the UMD- and w/ the newer FW versions you can simply access the umd (when you set it in recovery mode) and drag and drop the iso out of the umd to make a backup and copy it to the stick if you have the original game- once you have a hacked one you never want to go back
don't know one single DSL provider that ever gives remotely close to what they promise as a top speed. I just tested- I am on a 6000kbs line and I test @ 5699 kbps down and 634kbps up (it is supposed to be 768 max) - that isn't too far off the mark- that is on AT&T DSL
Why must there be a federal organization to handle crap like this? this isn't for consumption purposes- think, you need to see this in order to
1. get a gauge on general broadband penetration
2. get a gauge on commerce and digital usage and fesability of govenment based broadband projects
3. report usage to global accunting
4. use as ammunition for net neutrality issues
5. use statistics to attract business to highly penetrated areas
6. use statistics to warrant funding for broadband expansion by public utilities in order to increase broadband penetration
and the list goes on and on....
metrics are very important to both commercial and government sector industries as it is a level of proof of 'X' to be able to initiate programs and such
ardour wouldn't do what I do and there really isn't any live performance app on linux at all- and even if there was I wouldn't be able to drop my tracks out and plop them on my laptop or sync them over usb, not to mention that there is no vst support, so unlike on mac and pc there is no library of synths/effects to pull from. trust me I have looked into it audio production and performance on linux is a novelty right now, it may change in the future- but that is way off, and which development environments? If I were using it for work it would be perl and.net, which I could scale to run on it no problem, and as far as 3d goes (I mentioned c4d) some people like blender, but to me, having used maya and lighwave and c4d for so long that the blender interface is really painful to use. Being someone that doesn't just scew around with audio (I do indie releases usually, though I put out on a number of labels remixing and on comps from time to time) and contracting doing other various multimedia projects- apps in those realms on linux really are watered down imitations of windows/mac apps
(btw- I do have warcraft 3 and the sims2 on the wibrain as well- so gaming is fun on it sims is fun with the handheld touchscreen)
like I said though, I do plan to get a pandora when it is released- so I will prolly play around with having a portable linux machine, and I will push it as hard as it goes, though I can't see it having the flexibility that I have in a portable windows machine
Point is, she chose Linux over XP on the EEE for the same reason we've been choosing XP over Vista on desktops -- less complicated, fewer issues, faster on the same hardware. I use a wibrain B1h because it runs a full version of xp. It gives me full app support and I can run photoshop, cinema 4d and ableton live on it- I can't do that with linux. If you just want to surf the net and do basic things I guess linux is fine, but what I like in an ultraportable is as much functionality I can cram in a small box- otherwise there are other things that I can use to achieve the same results that aren't a pc. Thoug I do want a pandora http:\\www.openpandora.org
one thing I have noticed is that though the code is well commented quite often women as programmers tend to create really strange hierarchies- it is difficult to debug because rather than a top down structure they tend to work laterally and have odd variable names that don't relate to the function- sometimes it's better- though quite often it is like asking your girlfriend where the remote went and she says some random thing like "it is in the cabinet under the TV, since that is where it seemed like it belonged" when it is obviously not where you use it or convenient to retrieve it there.
I agree except:
Ideally, legislation would help enforce this alignment: for instance, by legally mandating an objective (e.g. requiring ISPs to be transparent in their throttling and associated advertising), this won't happen unless it s enforced- ISP's will throttle what the can when they can as it suits their interests and probably won't stop until they get caught. Often there are pressures from both sides- consumers obviously want no throttling and other corporate interests will pressure for throttling in favor of their interests. In the end the consumer is the one that has to deal because normally users are under a contract and can't move, just complain.
or funding an objective (e.g. "high-speed access for everyone") This would be nice, but the ISP's will challenge it in court for so long, I don't know if it will ever see the light of day
or by just making illegal one of the adversarial actions (e.g. source-specific throttling). more likely the opposite will happen- remember that the attitude in congress is actually anti- free communication on the internet- between infringement, child porn and terrorism, the idea of corporate throttling can easily eek by. All someone has to say is: "if we can't monitor and choose these packets- how can we look for kiddie porn?, or piracy, or terrorism" and the congress will throw the baby out with the bathwater. When I wrote one of our senators about the patriot bill I got a letter back that said "I haven't had time to read it, but it looks good since the other senators are supporting it" in my letter back, do you think that they will give any more credence to a bill that they won't understand after they read it?
The weak link in the whole equation of technology and why we have been surpassed is that our government has been in recent time efficient. Our government should NOT be efficient, it should be slow to respond and should ponder and debate over legislation rather than pushing whatever bill that comes down the pipes through because person X decided that it was a good idea. People in office should understand the responsibility that comes with both authoring and approving the laws that are presented and not be afraid politically to say no to laws that come down the pipe if they look even a little bit fishy. Though I am not a supporter of everything that ron paul spouts, his record of voting 'no' on a ton of crap that went across his desk regardless of the political impact is actually what we need more of in the system. Maybe some of us need to get out there and put our boots on the sand in the political ring if we want things to change.
IBM *invented* the PC-- meaning they made the market for it. wrong on both fronts- xerox invented the PC and IBM stole it- windows made IBM's PC marketable to the masses- or at least acceptable to market to the masses to get the pc to where it is today- FOSS wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't a unified reaction to a unified public that was using a majorly marketed OS- we would still be in the days where every mass marketed computer was using separate OS's with different kernals and different code- meaning there would be different app support on everything, like there was with commodore and IBM and TI and others in the late early days or even worse before that.
The difference between traffic violations and most other crimes is that most traffic violations are treated as minor crimes actually traffic violations are arbitrary- they are criminal statutes under local and state government, so they can vary depending on state and county, references to copyright are normally federal(though there are state statutes in some states).
That is what I don't quite understand - making illegal copies is a crime, right? no, it is not- distributing illegal copies carries punishment, but the law has some hazy lines- the DMCA was not established in order to create federal criminal laws, but to create guidelines for civil suits- though it does cover statutes on counterfeiting it doesn't specifically say that creating an unauthorized copy is a criminal act.
Same deal with copy protection on games. Only the people who buy the product legally have to suffer with it same goes with SPORE when it comes out- I was ready to buy it until I found out it requires a call home every 10 days or it craps out- honestly I don't want that in a game- it means I can't install it on one of my offline machines- so I will wait for a crack or just not play it- otherwise they woulda had my $
we have to destroy a lot of drives in my line of work- I have a row of the HD magnets stuck to the office wall where the steel supports are- sometimes when we are bored we take an old case (steel) put a target on it and play lawn darts with them

actually being pdf's the width would be 8.75" with the depth being 8800" or in a standard print 3.04"
why do you need the nukes? let's just move the earth by putting giant jet engines on it- then we can move it far away from any threat....

I can't even tell you how many websites I've given with my name as "My Balls" or "Your Mama" with a corresponding email address of myballs@myballs.com
I have always gone with "ass" and ass@ass.com
you can get a 600 dpi flatbed for under $50 nowadays- you might as well just buy one and do it yourself

more like, you get 1 gallon free a week and the rest is $50 a gallon and you have to buy it from one store
