Doesn't broad legislation like this hinder new technology advancements that could benefit drivers and improve safety? How about HUD displays wearable or projected on the windshield providing information at a glance instead of turning your head and looking for the idiot lights on the console. Some of these HUD systems can improve safety by improving early warning during poor visibility as well as traffic alerts such as warning about accidents ahead and warning you to reduce speed.
Where was the legislation when complex audio systems were introduced that require more attention from driving to operate? Handheld devices are just 'another' example along with Google Glass that are additional distractions 'when used in an unsafe manner'. Better get rid of the AC/heater controls as they are just a distraction from the driving task as well. There are already laws on the books to address negligence. Do we really need to add laws specific to each new device type that comes on the market?
Not much worth watching on TV these days anyway. Hasn't been much for a while. Between Redbox, NetFlix and Hulu I have enough entertainment on demand and don't waste my time watching crap by 'channel surfing'.
Go for it. The only one that should be telling you what you can or can't do is yourself. If you have a passion for something you will enjoy it and may become very good at it.
I think this is somewhat simplistic. EA operates by the use of unethical practices to milk their customers out of money, but this is a video game company. If they folded tomorrow, the country's economy would not be impacted. Wall Street would not really care. The only people who would be impacted would be their employees.
There are worse businesses out there that do cause significant harm to people in the US. How about Oil Companies? How about Walmart?
This is as silly as Barack Obama and Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace prize for playing politician at their day jobs.
If you don't like EA that much, then Don't give them your money. End of story.
The only reason I have reinstalled Windows on my PC's at home is for games and NetFlix. BattleField 3, Torchlight 2. I am able to do everything else that I need with Linux.
Bye bye Gnome. Last straw and all. The only way I could stomach using it was Classic mode. However, there are some really good alternatives. XFCE, KDE, etc.
If they are being more explicit about it, then it should not involve a 'take' on it. It should be stated clearly.
We will only use your data if you mark it public. We will only use it in these explicit ways. ie., We will aggregate types and number of files, we will target ads to you in other Google services based upon content within your drive... Only when marked public. We will not scan your personal naughty documents and serve ads based on those unless they are marked public.
If it is explicitly well stated, then I shouldn't need to ask for clarification.
Just because my neighbor doesn't close his blinds and hides nothing doesn't mean I do the same. Why should my desire for privacy be limited by the little regard that my neighbor holds for his own.
Simplest would be a laptop with the right software. I don't know what might be available software-wise, but a little research should turn up something.
Is there a reason you can't use a grow light instead of solar power from the sun?
For an elaborate solution, assuming you have internet access from the remote sites... Do a 'Silent Running' type Biosphere somewhere sunny, with robots that can be remotely controlled to perform tasks as needed in this biosphere. The students would love it and you would get good publicity for the program as well as some corporate sponsorships if you pull it off.
Since he is dead, he will not care if the series goes on. His wishes stopped carrying any weight when he stopped breathing.
The part that irks me is that the rights persist with his heirs. Too many people are getting by on the success of their ancestors.
If you are a musician, artist or author and you die, then you are not longer contributing to society. Your family needs to succeed or fail on their own ability and merits.
I can see a case for some rights to persist for a short term. Under the current system those rights are blown out of proportion to their relative contributions to society. Give the family 2-5 years to capitalize on the death of the rights holder, then put it in the public domain. Allow their contributions to society to really be a contribution and not a measure of greed.
As to whether or not a series should be continued against the 'dead' authors wishes, the market will show the viability of the product/work. If no one buys it then it speaks for itself. If it is popular, then it reinforces the reality that the original authors are not the only source of good ideas on that theme.
Some authors actually seem to understand this... They open their 'Story Universes' up to other authors to explore.
You can disagree if you like... That's what makes this system work... The 'right' to agree or disagree.
Being simplistic, this sounds like one company decided to not charge late fees, so another company
adopted the same practice. Pretty much everything they do is not new or unique, just expensive for a start-up. An established business like BlockBuster can and will compete by offering the same services.
Do you need to patent your business methods and operating procedures, or copyright your fancy return mail envelope to compete effectively? I think that if NetFlix is not able to compete with an established company in a similar market, that they are no different than a mom and pop grocery trying to compete with WalMart SuperCenters. It may not be the best thing for the community or the market, but it is the community or market that will make or break them, not their copyright or patent portfolio.
A business that survives by blocking other companies from using obvious methods, is no better than a parasite. They provide no benefit to society, and only serve to promote the proliferation of lawyers.
Deosn't ebay do something similar with sell a similar item? I can't remember since I haven't used it lately. Perhaps someone big on ebay can point it out?
Perhaps that helps with understanding a few things.
What do the spiders have to do with the movie? I felt that is the whole sequence with the spiders had been removed, there would have been no change to the story. They were just there for the SFX.
What was up with the car? It was never cleared up. No motive, etc.
How about the water? Why does it keep showing up? There is no real correlation made. My best guess is the ghost in the bathroom. It is never connected to that though except in one scene where it is actually in the bathroom. The other scenes don't appear to be anywhere near the bathroom.
The attacks seem a bit contrived. Contrived in the lethality. Wouldn't you expect more from something like that thing? Why are they not finished off?
Since I have not read the books, it appears that a lot of things were not connected in the movie. I had the feeling a lot of things were just thrown in to fill out the story's length without adding any good connective tissue.
Mee'sa Dobby? I guess he will be explained in the sequel, which I will probably need to see to resolve a few loose ends.
DOn't get me wrong. I did like the movie. Just... Once we left and looked at the clock, I realized that is was a really long and disjointed movie.
Used IBM drives for reliability. Using Anything else seemed a bit of a risk. Hardware raid 5 in the chassis connected to a Fireport 40 on the server. ReiserFS is finally stable enough in 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 to make this useable. We do streaming video so this should hold a semester or two depending on the number of classes we serve.

I did not sign up as a MSN customer because I did not want to be a MSN customer. I signed up to be a Qwest.Net customer. I am willing to pay for a service that works. I am not willing to pay for MSN quality of service.
Thank you very much.
(!!!** NOT ** !!!)
Why is it easier for companies to sell out, than to make a profit from actually providing a good service?
Remember that Microsoft plans to use an NVidia chip in their X-Box gaming platform. Maybe NVidia is leaning towards Microsoft to keep their good will in that deal...

OEM's that refuse to support their products with updates after the sale deserve to fail.
There is no excuse for poor customer service.
I would rather have a well-supported product that works, than a bleeding edge piece of crap that will not be supported in 3 months.

I would also recommend Wuala. Client side encryption as well.

Done. Fill in the circle with a sharpie. Very easy.
Tried to pick the ones that will do the least damage.
Too many people are emotionally involved and can not make rational choices that help rather than hinder.
Agreed. The Linux systems Are pretty mu ch set and forget.
I spend too much time dealing with the Windows servers in comparison.

Does it have a cpu, memory, storage device, display, input device?
My PC runs games and my xbox plays movies... Which is the Game machine?
