Regal Cinemas (I believe all cinemas) have this or a similar policy. When she bought the ticket she agreed to their terms. She was very stupid and should not have recorded the movie.
She was arrested and was humiliated but it was her fault. I would say she will not get such a serious sentence, if even convicted, probably just some community service or something like that...
Regardless what happens to her, the cinema had every right to do this to her, so why boycott them? Try the same thing at another theater chain (maybe AMC or Cinemark) and assuming you get caught (most of the biggies have good ways of detection) the same thing will happen. Instead do not do stupid things that are not allowed (and you agree to by buying a ticket) and can be viewed as illegal (I am not sure what the fair use issues of this type of case if).
The terrorist strategy for trains is for high amounts of damage, and trains in North America just aren't high capacity enough for today's terrorist on the go. Plus, it's not like North America doesn't have a long and colorful history of train robberies and hijackings: Arguably, America invented rail-based terrorism and knows how to deal with it better than most countries. We've only had those running transcontinentally for ~150 years now...
Yes, but commuter trains sure do. Like the PATH Trains, NJ Transit, LIRR, Subway, Metro-North of the NYC area. There was a plan (I believe a pretty weak one) to blow up the PATH trains, that would have destroyed the train tunnel and lots of lives lost and big damages as many commuters would not be able to go between NJ/NYC as easily. So your average Amtrak train that travels across the country may not be a good target but many the commuter trains would be and the infrastructure damages would be huge. The Northeast Corridor train line would also be a good target since it is the most heavily traveled line in the US.
Not as much as you think. I work for MTVN. The video programmers use the application I develop. They choose the videos they want to air when they want to air for the most part. They may pay us so we have a copy of the video, but those people air what they want, when they want too. We do pay licensing fees for using the songs in our shows though. The companies know if their video is on MTV (when there is an actual video on) they will get tons of interest, there is no need for us to pay for them.
Or until your friends start driving, meaning the one in your grade or you hang out with regularly. If you hang out with older friends you could borrow your parents phone for those occasions.
Guys, this article is from Sept 1, 2003. This is really old news, that have been doing auction for 2 years, some for charity and some for greedy bands... all and all this is BS, but the bands is agreeing to it so it is their fault...
I agree... I always want an actual CD of my music, an official pressed one. The quality is much better and as mentioned before you can do what you want with it. I also like the linear notes, images, etc. A physical, tangible copy is always better.
But if you are truly concerned about quality you need to pick up the album on vinyl (if possible), it is the only way to truly listen to your favorite music (24-bit FLAC ain't half bad either), you cant beat it...
I agree that it should come down to personal reponsibility, but he is sueing also because he says there are not enough warnings with the iPod docs. My pair to Shure inner ear canal headpohnes have warnings all over the place.
This reminds me of the old woman who spilled the hot McDonald's coffee on her lap and sued becuase it was too hot and didnt have anough warnings/labels that is was hot so now she is rich and every to go cup of coffee you buy from many places is covered in "HOT!" or "Warning: Contents May be Hot!"
To help get a job, suck it up your Jr year of college and get an internship (hopefully paid, but I took an unpaid one) it led to a job with that same corporation and other job offers... experience matters but you need to the coursework so emplyers will know you have been exposed to the basic concepts and theory...
Yes, I went to school there actually. The school is pretty good and has some decent research the past few years and has gotten a big grant to do something for the government and research...
Why would they be using VPN for internal communications?
Tons of smaller companies use regular AIM (or other private IM clinets) for internal communications. Many larger companies have their own private Jabber servers set up using a Jabber client so employees can only communicate with users on their own server, I think VPN could work, but if the communications is just meant to be short little conversations (AIM style) a prviate Jabber server would be ideal compared to VPN. But for normals business practices (meetings, code sharings, demos, etc) VPN would be used.
I remember reading an article that the interface is so basic beccuase they didn't know hardly anything about HTML so they threw it together and they stuck with it. That article/interview was posted on here a while back I think.
Why was this modded as a -1? I work for MTV Networks IS&T department. The application that my team develops is the one that the programmer (i.e. on-air programmers) use to schedule programs and then a log is created which is sent to our broadcast center which knows what to air on TV. I was just porviding some information and what is known in MTV about this program. I was just helping you guys out and providing more information about this.
Man I did this in HS, so good thing I didn't get caught...
My friend and I got the teachers password with one and then on about 20 computers in our AP CS classroom we installed one of those paid to surf the web programs (where a banner would appear and would change every so often and as long as u were doing something you would get paid like $0.30 an hour, or something like that). We also had to install a program that would record the mouse clicking on a link and then moving across the screen (you got paid more for clicking a banner and you had to be active). Then we used task manager to run startup at 8 PM, and then load the banner program then the mouse program and then had it turn off at 6 AM. It was working great but we only had 2 addresses to use and we could only change them so much (Drive vs. Dr, Street vs St., etc). They finally caught on and told us to only 1 address so we just stopped using it. The password we got was actually the Admin password for all the new computer because the teacher was new (the other left to head the town's IT department) and he user/pass wasn't set-up yet so we were going to do it to the other computers in the school - we would have made a killing...
The IO pen is already out: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/product list/US/EN,crid=1552 Its function is to record what you write and then you can easily transfer it to you computer and have a digital copy of the notes you just wrote.
This new product is complete different and makes writing "interactive". I guess the paper has a similar concept but this is much cooler (and scarier) and has a lot more potential.
I would think most schools allow students to take non-major, gen-ed, or cogniate classes pass fail. Mine did - as many as you wanted (as long as they were not the mentioned course above, and of course that you didnt go over 18, or 19 if you had 2 4-credit classes that semester). I was a CS major but senior year I even took a CS class pass/fail, just to learn but so I didn't have to worry about the tests as much (and damn me I ended with an A-).
The lengths this guy went too. Make her get birth control pills and have sex int he car (unprotected). What a scum bag! Then drank vodka coolers and had sex two more times. This girl's social judgment and reasoning skills are impaired they should have treated this case as rape.
And he only gets 4.5 years and not allowed to make contact with children under the age of 14, how about all minors (that aren't related to him).
I know we hear about things like this all the time but this is one of the worst I have heard... just sickening...
I went to a smaller private school in PA. They have a decent CS program. I was one of the few people in my class (this past year) with a job and a bunch of interviews right after school. Many places I applied too knew the school I went too but I found that it did no matter where I went. Of course, it is nice to go to MIT or Cal Tech, but getting the major is one thing and having good grades in your major courses especially (overall GPA isn't as important if there classes where ones that you were required to take, like the ethics and philosophy course you have to take at a Liberal Arts school) - the grades earned in your relevant course work will def. out weight your non-major courses. But the key is having experience. I was luck enough to have an internship at a large well-known company in NYC. That helped me getting a job and interviews without a doubt. At first I would not do a non-paid internship but I am glad I did. It def helped me and I ended up working at the company that I interned in (for a different group in the IS&T Dept.). So in short, the school is not as import as grades and experience, what ever you do get an internship or a summer job in the field - it will truly help you out in the long run.
I just the new PC Mag in the mail and they have a fanless Media Center by Niveus Media. It is a part of their Summit Series and goes for $3,000 and up. It says there is an optional terabyte storage server that you can attach to archieve all your digital media... www.niveusmedia.com
Funny how I read about a similar product just as I read this article on./
not to mention that he said is also going to personalize them where he can with wallpapers and stuff so his friends/family should hopefully notice the effort he put into it, not to mention he made a/. post about it...
I was offered a Software Developer position at Vonage in Edison, NJ this summer but turned it down. They actually had a great deak with stock options but I didn't want to work in Edison and deal with Parkway Traffic thought he work prob would have been interesting.
Yes, their stock is not traded but it prob will within 2 years and should at least start off high. They are the leaders in VoIP and now with the new FCC ruling that could be good news. I wish I had stock options but my current jobs stock (Viacom) blows anyway, but the other perks make up for it...
I agree, what a great story... $0.75 is a big deal...
I read it for a Comp Ethics class I took my Senior year of Under Grad... it was a great book and story and I had a hard time putting it down and I really don't read Novels only tech/skills books. I hope this book interests me like Cliffs book and I bought it yesterday...

It will be aired at 9:30 pm and right now is called XBOX Special. MTV doesn't have any real info on this special yet.
