In the case of a static IP address and a locked down router would that not be enough circumstantial evidence to convict?
A router can be locked down after someone else used the connection openly. The law would have to prove that the router was locked down at the time the infringement happened.
One word... FrontPage. There are more, of course, and we could go on trading licks all day, but in the end, the corpses of products that were killed by Microsoft would probably outnumber those still living. And yes, by the time MS got done with it, FrontPage deserved to die, but that's the whole point.
There are other numerous examples of now retired software products that, at the time, made tremendous sense to buy. FoxPro, for instance, was enormously popular, and made MS a lot of money. Ditto for Frontpage. For years, if you didn't know HTML, Frontpage was pretty much the way to get a web page up. Again, and it was tremendously successful in the market.

I was pointing out not to be so quick to place labels and insult others.
I have been in the position of out of work before (during this economy even). My pronouncements weren't ignoring facts, they were actually taking facts into account. During good economies I have seen many highly educated people on welfare when they could have easily gotten jobs. Welfare should not just be free money like many Democrats think.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any political party and I think they are all full of crap.
Spoken like a True Republican: Broad pronouncements made while sipping Cognac from a crystal snifter that your butler brought you whilst you sit by the fire in your manse, that sound like fiscal responsibility, but made with zero regard for the impact on individuals.
And what is amazing is that, I'd be willing to bet that you wouldn't be willing to pick up that shovel yourself.
In short, FUCK OFF AND DIE! UNTIL YOU'RE THERE YOURSELF, JUST FUCK THE FUCKING HELL OFF!
Spoken like a true elitist Democrat. Even during good economic times, there are many people that could easily get a job, but instead stay on welfare because it is easier. Many people have no reason to get off welfare, so they don't. His idea was instead of just handing out money when there is all this work that needs to be done instead. His solution was an attempt to solve multiple problems, while yours is just shouting off about how you hate him. Why don't you solve the entire worlds problems with yelling angrily at people.
And what about when all the jobs HOLDING SHOVELS are filled up?
And what about those who AREN'T strong enough or young enough to hold shovels?
Who says that every single person applying has to do the exact same thing? Some people could do clerical/desk work.
Get off your high horse and don't injure yourself on the way down.
His analysis of what is going on is a bit off. Microsoft and Nokia are still mattering.
WebOS was a pretty good phone OS, but with one small brand using it, things never took off. Blackberry OS was always a piece of garbage, but it still is widely used because of the quantity of devices that run it. There is also the fact that many users are just used to it and swear by Blackberries.
I wouldn't say it is crunch time for RIM, but they do need to do something to be seen by the masses as a viable phone OS again.
The free to play with MicroTransactions seems to work pretty well. ArenaNet has done it with Guild Wars for years. Other non-mmo games but still require good servers like League of Legends has been successful using it.
It's wasted more billions, with little or NO net profits on gaming consoles. (MAYBE it's finally breaking even on that, but I doubt it)
Where do you get that figure from? XBox broke even a long time ago and has been churning a profit ever since.
It's wasted billions of dollars trying to compete as an online portal and as a search engine. A company crammed to the brim with top CS grads and extremely good custom software SPECIALIZES in search and basically nothing else. Expecting to ever beat them and make more money is a fool's errand.
So is a search engine not considered a piece of software now? You say that Microsoft should stick only to software, but when it comes to certain software you so they shouldn't try it.
What are your thoughts on Windows Phone 7? Should it be tried because MS only wrote the software and gave specific requirements on the hardware to the manufacturers?
If students are cheating on tests then you need to look at the reason why. Is the material being presented in a way that is too hard for the child to understand? Is it not being presented in a way that interests the student? If a student is intererested, he will learn. If he learns, then he has no need to cheat.
What do you do about the student that doesn't want to learn anything and is just in school because their parents made them go? There are also other students who no matter whether they learn the material or not, they have a job waiting for them upon graduation. I have met many that are like these, and since they will never care they always cheat on everything. Should we instead test on a student's interest in learning the material?
At my work, the computers we use "belong" to the employees. We pick our OS and what software we run. The sales people and others are just given a standard Windows install and they are restricted some. Developers do what we want with our machines.
As far as servers go, we all have some access, the senior programmers have full admin, while the rest of us have partial. We often have to deal with stuff quickly that getting one of a few IT people to do is too inefficient, and takes too long to do.
however, the amendment restricting abortion coverage is HUGE step backwards and another reminder just how much the lunatic Religious Right has taken hold in the US. Hopefully this does not force people into coat hangers and whiskey again.
I am sorry but you cannot tout yourself as all high and mighty for picking pro-choice. It is a highly controversial subject that actually the majority of Americans think that there should be atleast some restrictions on abortions. The question is not with as you say "Religious nutjobs" think an act is wrong while others think its right, the question is when does human life begin. All rights relating to life begin when life begins, so if an unborn child is a life, then rights and liberties begin then, and abortions would be murder. If an unborn child is not a life, then rights and liberties do not start until birth, and abortions are completely ok.
To use "the other guy is crazy" in an argument is just obscuring the facts and the argument. You touting that argument is showing yourself as a "Religious fanatic" on the other side of the fence. You provide no sound argument and are actually just blowing a lot of hot air.
Other fields people know exactly what/how it is done. Accountants crunch numbers to get results. Marketers create ads for people to see.
With Software Developers we somehow create a "blackbox" from nothing that does what people need it to do.
With the differences for how our work is seen, that creates a different understanding of it, allowing others to see programmers differently.
Funny, I thought that Microsoft products were as secure as a paper mache fortress. Although with another vulnerability I guess the strength needs to be dropped some.
Didn't Microsoft already make one of these called the.NET Passport? They failed to get it to be very popular, so (just like Microsoft) they are making another one trying to convince everyone to only use their stuff.
I used to work in office supplies and we sold networking hardware. All the time people would be shocked that they needed to pay for internet service and not just use a wireless card.
Companies really go for the name of the school on the degree. A liberal arts school wont have as much of an effect on a company as the tech school. I know companies give higher rates to students that came from certain schools just because of the schools reputation.

I can actually watch internet video in Chrome now!
So no one here has a Windows phone 7?
Probably pretty easy to monitor what's flowing through your home router if you're on wi-fi.
The phantom data has been over 3G even if the phone is connected to wi-fi. This idea sadly wont work.
Is this a problem with all phone's or just if people installed some nefarious app?
The article says it is a third party app.

To test if someone is female or not, just ask them to go out with a geek. If she says yes, then she can't be a female.
That would be such a great prize! Even better than the iPhone or the android phone.

I disagree, where I go we have a forum for our department to talk about coursework and we all use it and help each other out.

Maybe implement all these ideas. It would get rid of all extra random posts...
