I too think the SoundExchange is one of the worst things I've seen come about (especially since they have a minimum fee in order to even get started).
I did think of one thing though. SoundExchange can't interfere in licensing arrangements that are set up by the streamer and the license holder, meaning my friend could draft a contract license agreement to me to stream his music, and there isn't any money that goes to SoundExchange (from what I read).
Which means we need to set up an OpenExchange that allows artists to sell/give licensing agreements.
The artist could even have different licensing agreements (performance, streaming, personal use) along with downloads of their music.
You missed the context (and I wonder if most in the survey did too).
Better framed.
1. You are going to be shown an ad (whether you like it or not).
2. Would you prefer it has anything to do with your life or not.
Do you think marketers are going to offer you of opting out of #1?
Yes, but running car ads on a kids network channel is likely not to gain them as much increased brand awareness compared to running it, say a financial news channel or something like Spike.
That's targeting.
More so with websites. If the ad software knows you just came from a used car website, it can give you a different ad then if you just visited some other site.
Most don't even care about that much personal information, most right now are happy if they get gender. Bonus if they can guess age group.
But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you.
One way to do that is to employ an array of even smaller lenses placed on the surface of the contact lens. Arrays of such microlenses have been used in the past to focus lasers and, in photolithography, to draw patterns of light on a photoresist. On a contact lens, each pixel or small group of pixels would be assigned to a microlens placed between the eye and the pixels. Spacing a pixel and a microlens 360 micrometers apart would be enough to push back the virtual image and let the eye focus on it easily. To the wearer, the image would seem to hang in space about half a meter away, depending on the microlens.
Why not teach them to text using proper spelling and grammar then? Texting doesn't have to involve poor skills. I have a QWERTY keyboard on my phone, and I rarely abbreviate.
Actually, I was thinking more like, frickin plankton with frickin lasers... Once heralded as the solution to world hunger, now could be the solution for population control.
A couple of articles found on Google news points that GM is putting a 10 year 150k mile warranty on the battery. So there's one data point. I couldn't find anything about the capacity during that time frame (or what the warranty covers).
You might want to take note of this line on Wikipedia
The Volt will use a new plug specification, SAE J1772, that is being proposed as a standard for electric cars
Unless, that is your work already has plugs for this. You may want to get something to convert it. Though, maybe the building owner would be willing to install one that can be metered and billed?
Simplest solution? Take a Kill-A-Watt with you. Go to any store run by the owner. Explain to them you need to charge your car from their outlet and that you will pay them for it. Explain that since you know it is an unusual request you have a meter that measures how much you are drawing.
You may have to stop at more then one place - and if you can't find an owner run store, you just have to find the 'right' employee.
Usually only if you drive it on the street. In most cases it is perfectly acceptable to mod the car, take it to a race track (on a trailer) and then race it there. If it is just sitting in your garage while you mod it, they shouldn't be able to do anything most of the time. There may be a few places where that's not the case, but I doubt it is the norm.
Its not likely impossible, just difficult. Even if you can't flash the firmware through their OS's software, there's possibly JTAG pins somewhere. If not, the flash memory pins could be accessed directly. How else would any OS get loaded in the first place? The only thing that would screw you is if the OS was loaded on to something read only such as ROM or flash with some kind of security bit that prevent any changes at all. But that would be a very bad design idea (have to get the software perfect before manufacturing release)
Someone ask these idiots when you are willing to allow the usage without royalty why on this earth you want a patent on it
When that patent can be used in more then one application. A patent holder may grant all uses of a patent for one application (say a protocol standard) but not for another application. That is actually the point made in Matusow's blog post and is missed by the article.
I didn't see any "more easily transmittable" things on your first link to immunodeficiency. From your link, it looked like most immunodeficiency comes from either an inherited disease, or something like cancer.
Feel free to continue bashing Microsoft for whatever reason, but the quote you took was not from Microsoft, but an article writer writing about a blog post made here.
in which Matusow does nothing of the sort of "educating" you mention.
Instead he points out the difference between what he meant by 'balance' and by what Rick Jelliffe meant by 'balance'.
Hint: Rick meant balance on standards committee's representation Matusow meant balance in demands from contributors to standards.
I thought the same thing. Only after did I realize the word shift in the summary:
Also, Matusow didn't say they want all open standards to be able to include RAND, just that he considers some RAND standards as open to him. The article writer even seems to agree with most of his points, and then turns a 360 and brings up the OOXML to bash on them a bit. On the side of openness, I think the article writer misunderstood Matusow's main point about patents and standards, which is that if a patentable idea could be used in more then one way (his two examples were protocols and an aphrodisiac) that the owner should be able to grant use of the patent for a protocol standard, but should not be required to give up rights to license separately use as an aphrodisiac. Doing so might make the contributor less likely to contribute, which make sense because if that were required, the cost of the contribution might outweigh the benefit.
My wife is a teacher at an elementary school on the west cost (Washington state). They are instructed not to even put your hands up in defense (say of your face) as it could be considered provocation or threatening to a student.
I'm sure she'll put her hands up anyways if a student started throwing punches, but it seems retarded to me to set that sort of expectation and basically telling the teachers that they are on their own if don't follow the rules.
11. All aliens came here to live already, and everywhere else has been abandoned because they are dying. They planned to build a rocket to Utopia, but failed.
Not only that, but computers and electronic devices are generally not given copy rights like music, movies, and books are.
If a part in my car breaks, no one could sue me for making another part in my machine shop, or from copying a working part in my friends car to get it to work again. They also don't get to sue me for looking at the engine, or taking it to someone other then the dealer.
Heck, I could build an entire copy of my friends car (minus logos/trademarks) and I don't think there's anything the car makers could do about it.
If books were written in ink that disappeared after an unknown period of time, people wouldn't pay what they are currently paying.
Easy, you tell them that if they buy music produced from X company, then at some point their music won't play. That the *AA is doing this to them, might make them mad enough to riot, which is about the only way we'll get anything through congress to prevent this since they have so much money invested in getting congress to focus on protecting 'the artist' with their restrictions.

I've heard that there are USB wifi adapters out there that work with the 360.
A friend of mine got one, and I've heard no complaints.

You mean like the Federal government?

Why is it illegal, though?
Car Analogy:
You can legally mod cars (for financial gain even) to exceed speed limits to the extreme.

Actually that might work out well!
Think 2 plants both running on solar power during the day.
At night, the water/salt from plant number 2 are recombined to power plant # 1!!!
Eggs?
