You never signed anything to allow them to hire employees to send you these messages either. They have to pay somebody to do it. Where's the legal requirement that you can't hire outside your own corporation without permission?
The folder being empty could simply mean rootkit, though it would be a terrible fail of a rootkit not to hide the folder itself. The fact that the folder is actually a standard part of Windows is the worst fact.
That's my assumption of why it didn't give instructions on securing your router. They wanted to present it as just another reason not to have one at all.
Most colleges don't want personal wifi equipment anywhere on campus anyway. Too easy for them to be misconfigured and interfere with the wireless channel used for their own wifi. Being vague just prevents them from saying no twice.
I'm not sure if it's packet loss or what it is, but these last few weeks I've had periods of time (on AT&T DSL) where I simply can't load images from Akamai-based servers. I can browse the NewEgg store, but I can't see any pictures, because images10.newegg.com is actually images10.newegg.com.edgesuite.net
Myabe they're trying and failing miserably to throttle Netflix (who also uses Akamai).
If you had storage the size of theirs, you would use pointers for redundant blocks of a file. So if two people rip a CD at the same bitrate with the same encoder, you might get portions that are bit-for-bit identical. If those users both retrieved CDDB track information the tags might even be the same. But they're going to store it such that it's provably the same bits uploaded twice, and not just deduplicating by file or track name.
They don't usually use the GPS to track cell phones in those sorts of investigations. It's usually done by triangulating from cell tower positions. The only thing I know of that activates the GPS chip is dialing an emergency number.
Instead they'll fork or adopt a project with a more suitable licence.
You mean like the GPL v2 licensed SAMBA code in OS X 10.6? Nothing's stopping them from turning over and maintaining that fork that they've already licensed via GPL v2, right?
At the moment, I really wanted to make an example of the situation and that you can't trust motion sensors or proximity sensors exclusively to run a traffic system. Would have been funny to me to call the police and have them help me out of the red light. Other people have a different sense of fun, I'm sure. If it were a futuristic self-driving car, what would *it* do?
She wasn't up for the silly thought experiment of sitting there in the car waiting for it to never turn green when we could just back up and pull forward to get a green light.
Or worse - I got stuck at one. I decided to wait it out. I sat at a red light for 15 minutes once at a deserted intersection late at night. I had to back up and pull up to the line again to get a green light. I would have thought it funny to stay until it turned green but my wife was in the car.
You can roll back. You have to put the ipod into recovery mode. Then, you can restore whatever version you want onto it. You might have to install an older version of iTunes to set it up on an older iOS, but I'm sure it's possible.
128kbps AAC vs. 192kbps MP3 = not as much difference as you'd think. MP3 encoders improved a bit after that, while AAC stayed the same. People still look at the numbers first.
The industry standard for studio sound recording is ProTools, running a many-track digital recorder at 196KHz and 48-bit or higher. A digital control surface that integrates with the software is used as the "mixing board." Yes to the analog instruments and microphones. No to EVERYTHING else.

How about adding in speeding and tailgating without their flashy lights on? I can't tell you how many times....
Just use Gmail over IMAP and SSL, and Twitter via API. If you don't trust the web site that's your own problem.

If you ARE the infringer, you could buy an open wireless router to help you cast some reasonable doubt...

And God help you if you don't have enough RAM and you have to use virtual memory.
ISP's lie.

Plus settling out of court doesn't set a legal precedent - meaning that everyone's afraid to start a competing service and still face litigation.
You'd better not get a song stuck in your head. Those playback performances in your head and reproductions by humming are all infringements.

Would think that they both use anycast routing and don't need quite so many IP's as you might think.
Instead they'll fork or adopt a project with a more suitable licence.

I think plenty of people get the reference and are smarter than you give them credit for.
I was thinking the same thing. I can stay pretty calm in a situation like that.

If you can still find them, there's cartridge-based CD-ROM systems. It's just that very few people needed the extra protection.
