and if they are mod me down. But here are the facts.
1) Overspending. They thought there stock would go to 1000000. Spend, Spend, Spend.
2) Excite. 6 BILLION!!! in cash and stock swap. OBTW, Excite was sold off a few months ago for $175,000.. @Home should have stuck to the basics and became a pipe. Not to mention should have snuggled themselves really close to Yahoo and went into a partnership with them.
3) AT&T YES.. you heard me.. AT&T destroyed this company because they wanted the broadband. In 1999 they bough a portion of @Home and were in control of it. So many people do not pay attention to this fact. AT&T found it more beneficial to destroy @Home and switch over the subscribers then by out the remaining shares of the other cable companies.
Hey, for what its worth @Home was great. I will be honest, I had the service for 4-5 years and ALWAYS had a static IP address (though they liked changing it around now and then). Service was always up, and could do whatever I wanted.
Well as we know times are changing, but if anything, from the way things look, I am happy to be a Cox customer then any of the others.
to when this speech was given (oh yes.. I heard parts of it, I turned the TV a few times hoping the MF would shut the hell up already) was that members of the crowd were talking, booing, and doing other things.
Its just so much BS...
Many of the nominees here tonight, especially the new, less-established artists, are in immediate danger of being marginalized out of our business.
If I am correct, artists make very little from the music and more on goods and promotional campaigns. Looks like he means "the record industry is loosing money" Funny how he never mentioned that since nabster took a dirt nap, record sales are down 8%.
And then he comes back to...
That will ensure that our artists reach even higher and, deservedly, get paid for their inspired work.
No.. it is so the Record companies get paid. In fact I am going to have to say that artists DID make more money when nabster was in full gear. More people were into music. more people listened to more songs. More people got off there but and went to the artists concerts.
As stated before.. I SHALL NOT buy another work of music again after hearing that speach.
When nabster was around, I was buying CDs. I heard the music, enjoyed the songs, bought the CD. (Freaking concept there.. try before you buy!.. prob would not work with a toothbrush though)
RIAA went on there money pillaging rampage targeting Nabster.. I stopped buying all togethor.
So lets add this up.. No Nabaster + Higher Priced CD's + music that is just plain crap today.
Yep.. that works out to be lower sales.
Interesting as it is, the bands/singers against the RIAA.. (Eagles, Crow, etc) are like.. WOW.. "real artists" and not strip mall built, Burger King promoting, lip-sync singing groups.
In order for the broadcasters to have "this technology" shot down, they are going to have to do the same to current day VCRs. Seriously, from what was described in the article, to what I do today with my VCR are no different.
Then comes the issue of "serving up" the broadcast on the web say by a P2P client. Well, I guess the same thing can be applied to a gun. Gun manufactorers are not liable of John Doe holds up a 7-11 and blows away the clerk. Makers of recording mechanisms can not be held liable if John Doe serves up the lastest Friends show on the web.
The complete Irony of this current debate is that broadcasters are screaming bloody murder that these players are NOT recording advertisments, but god forbid, are fighting tooth in nail to stop people from recording the show.
"I'd like to see Gnome applications written in.NET in version 4.0 - no, version 3.0. But Gnome 4.0 should be based on.NET," he told us. "A lot of people just see.NET as a fantastic upgrade for the development platform from Microsoft.
If this was US politics, a candidate has just stated he supports a communistic form of governement and cant wait till he gets it installed.
Interesting concept though, using.NET. But it will be a cold day in hell before Billy and the boys would do anything (even for profit) for an open source project that uses the GNU licence for many of its parts.
these rules were not in place when Armagedon was going to happen! Bruce and his boys would have never gotten to space and we all would have been screwed!
I hope you mean "you get 2 cpus", since that $3900 is only for the board. There is no talk of getting a CPU with it. (lets not forget case, drive, memory, etc, etc, etc)
But we must also note, that this is "Evaluation" and not mass production. Odds are they are probably built much by hand for the time being, therebye raising the price (alot).
unless I am specifically asked to email a person who is expecting my resume, it shall never go out.
In our digital world, there is still that simplistic charm of a nicely formed resume on high quality paper, packaged in a nice envelope. If you want to attach a digital copy, a nice, pure black floppy with a printer printed label make a great touch. (in otherwords, no funky neon 13 year old floppies)
This approach not only shows that you are willing to put in the extra mile, but that you're one step ahead by including both forms of media.
Case in point, the serial numbers in Pentium Chips. Everyone from the biggest geek down to your 90 year old grandma was screeming bloody murder about it. So much that (I believe) Intel has stopped the practice. Or if they havent, the bios can quickly disable this "feature"
The problem with hardware is "who is going first". Answer? No one. Its suicide. If Intel came out today and said our chips have the new "super-duper-clipper-dipper-chip" in it that stops all copying of copyright material (work with me on this one). AMD's stock would FLY through the roof, people would flock to AMD processors, and AMD would be king.
Until there is either an extremely fierce law or just one vender who makes hardware X, it is nothing but talk and wants by some very uneducated people who believe that a computer can do anything. Well there partially correct, computers can do anything, but others (programmer, hardware manufactors, etc) can do anything to stop there "anything". Nothing is "unbreakable".
This is what the purpose of MODULES was suppose to do.. or lack thereof Compile the entire beast and then have what is needed get loaded up when it is needed or installed.
Should Aunty be compiling kernels.. no.
Should Aunty be able to install new pre-compiled modulated kernel with a few clicks of the mouse.. yes.
open source, they may in due time have a fresh cult of talented people working for them:-P
But still... it is "The Government" which even to a programming geek is "Not Sexy".
Its almost like you get visions of a 30 year old desk, wooden chair, a XT computer, monochrome monitor, yellow lined notepads, in a room painted light yellow or baby blue. You get thoughts wondering if a pocket protector is mandatory.
If you really really look deap into the legal docuement you will notice something. It does not "say" its illegial to copy the CD. Take for example
The Player and Content (and portions of them) are also protected under copyright law and trade secret law.
So in otherwords, they are covered under fair use.
No Reverse Engineering. You may not attempt (or authorize, encourage or support others' attempts) to circumvent, reverse engineer, decrypt, break or otherwise alter or interfere with the Player, the operation of it, or Content.
Ok.. so I am not going to turn them into a toaster, but again, the legal doc says nothing about "where" I filter the signal too. The Player and Content can do there thing, but instead of pumping the data stream to my sound card, it will get detoured to a "ripper" program. Still legal.

Ok.. so I can not copy logos and other things. States NOTHING about content.
Again.. the legal doc trys to protect the "player" and the "content", but states NO WHERE that you can NOT copy it.
Slashdot Mirror
may not be the best, but with there latest security options, it makes live nice.
Go into

and uncheck "open unrequested windows"
The pop-up nightmare has ended!
Not saying other browsers cant do this, but if they can't, they will be real soon.
Now I am just waiting for the "block these sites" style of entry which can be seeded by a downloaded file to block ad servers.

So lets add this up
Yep
Interesting as it is, the bands/singers against the RIAA
Weapons and War seem to be an almost staple diet. The whole country is screwed up
.. I am laughing to hard!
And this is coming from someone who lives in the UK? Please stop
just the media.

of implants into the skull.
Gives the term "ringing of the ears" a whole new meaning.
Would suck though if you forgot to plug yourself in at night. Warrenty work might get quite expensive also. (sorry, your HMO does not cover this)
we need to find them first before we can see them
:-P
really needs to read up on this ...
And discover the excitement of something like this brings and the desire for people to go out and buy the product.
And in turn read up on how people feel very negative towards lawsuits and threats for even thinking of making modifications to there products.
all ready built in

these people must just about kill themselves in the winter time with low humity and all the static electricity.
"shocking and electrifying"
why Ted Kaczynski lived in a shack in the back hills of Montana.
sounds like a good time to buy Cisco since all routers, hubs, etc would also have to get destroyed.
I guess the old saying (joke) "The Internet is Down" would actually mean something.
