People need to realize that post-paid contract cell phone accounts are *unlimited liability* credit accounts and that you have agreed to pay whatever roaming charges are forwarded to ATT from other carriers that ATT agreed to. There is no incentive to change this practice absent regulation. This kind of stuff on post-paid is why I'm switching to prepaid when my contract is up, as I can control what I spend and what features I want to pay for. I will not be back on post-paid until they allow setting a spending limit like most other forms of credit accounts.
I have serious doubts as to whether a source file for printing a 3D weapon can be regulated. Forgetting the 2nd amendment issues I doubt it would stand up to 1st amendment scrutiny (source files are speech). Possession of the output (the gun) is already regulated under existing laws anyway, I'm not sure what the big deal is.
If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the source code later. When users non-commercially redistribute the binaries they received from you, they must pass along a copy of this written offer. This means that people who did not get the binaries directly from you can still receive copies of the source code, along with the written offer.
You sort of proved the GP's point. Only if you choose to use written offer must the offer be good for any third party. If, instead, one distributes binaries with source, there is no obligation to third parties as they should have received source from their distributor.
All they have to do is set up an SMS service to get out of iMessage. "Text STOP to XXXXXX and Apple will remove the sending number from any iMessage accounts". It is a really god damn easy solution.
It does lead to hilarious results sometimes. I recall a ReadWriteWeb article that BREIFLY became the top search result for "facebook login" on google. The chaos was amazing.
The comment section is riddled with people asking how to get to facebook, or why did facebook change their login, asking help with logging in on this "new" login page. It was epic. The comments are still up if you want to read them
They had to put a notice near the top of the article explaining that it was not a facebook page. Eventually google fixed it. I guess the point is, that yes these people need to be considered when designing UIs.
Just because it has always been done that way, doesn't mean it still works in the current industry environment. Netflix only sends data to a host that requests it. if netflix is sending your network data it is because someone paying to use your network has asked them to that bandwidth is paid for already.
I guess netflix could code the client to send back equal amounts of data as a workaround, then it would be even.
I can't comment on the reactivate every boot, OEM's do strange things with preinstall images so I guess it is possible. Personally, I'd just reinstall Windows in a VM, it be easier than trying to put an existing install in a VM. Install.iso's are not difficult to come by and MD5/SHA1 can be verified against TechNet's published values.
Agree with everything you said. My first encounter with screen I first installed Linux to run a headless Counter-Strike server. It is a great solution to being able to ssh in to a box, start the server and log off. It also allowed other admins to log in and assume the screen if they needed to.
Microsoft, however, is subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal Court system, and when a Magistrate Judge orders them to produce something, they are compelled to produce it. It doesn't really matter where the something is. Basically the court is saying the search warrant can be executed like a subpoena.
From the linked article: A search warrant for email information, he said, is a "hybrid" order: obtained like a search warrant but executed like a subpoena for documents. Longstanding U.S. law holds that the recipient of a subpoena must provide the information sought, no matter where it is held, he said.
This all depends on how much society wants to pay for software, and whether or not you think a programmers guild is a good thing advancement of the profession (ala AMA or Bar association) as that would soon follow. Also not all mistakes are created equal, mistakes result in everything from "Oops!" to criminal proceedings, I believe is what you meant to say. Unless you were trying to imply that all mistakes result in a minimum of someone losing their job.
List of NIST time servers here: http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/serv...
If you want to be a good NTP citizen you probably shouldn't use these servers directly though, unless your running a very large network and syncing your own ntp servers.
Some ISPs run time servers on their gateways or DNS servers, it is a decent way to get an NTP sync that is "network close" to you.
The article indicates that the plaintiffs are card issuing banks, which probably have no direct agreements with Target at all, thus no opportunity to cover ass with a binding arbitration clause.
You also have to have possession of the wrapped key to unwrap it as well. Having the passphrase without the key does not do you any good. Furthermore, if one stores the private key on a smart-card means that the key is now effectively a physical thing that must be stolen. So it really isn't "just another password".
Exactly. He build his brand off being famous for being a Physics undergrad at a small state school in south east Virginia. Yeah, a regular Paris Hilton he is. It is easy to be successful when you have that kind of background./s
Overstock is only accepting bitcoin via an exchange so the items are not truly priced in BTC.
Overstock doesn't hold BTC, they convert it via CoinBase. Coinbase sets Overstock's BTC prices for them by using the current exchange rate. When you go to checkout with BTC you get a quote for the price that is only good short amount of time, if you don't pay the invoice within that window you have to start over and get a new price quote.
It would be $200/mn for 20TB, at least at the current advertised price I see of $0.01/GB. Also if you ever actually had to completely restore from backup the data transfer costs from glacier for 20TB of data is pretty savage. I could be missing something, all in all seems like a good deal if your running a business off your data but not too accessible to the home user yet.
AT&T has wifi only and low data plans on GoPhone prepaid for Smartphones.

The prepaid landscape is changing pretty rapidly in the US, which is nice for those of us who like to buy our own phones.
You can use bitcoin to buy things from both overstock.com and tigerdirect.com. Both of which are pretty big US retailers.
Not saying that I would want to, but you could furnish a whole house just buying stuff from Overstock.

Indeed. Diablo 2 had locked chests. My bad!

In my brief search I wasn't able to find a version of 'rm' that accepted a '-a' option.
You are correct. Steam does its own package management once installed.

One could also DMZ the console, which is safer than enabling UPnP.
