NVIDIA are suffering a lot from TMSC having problems. The reason no one is going to be able to by a Fermi based chip until at least April (and very few people until July or so) is because it's an even bigger and more complex part on the same process. If they can't get enough 5800s out the door, they sure as hell can't make enough of Fermi.
I'm not sure about every country that uses English Common Law, but in Australia there is only a trial if the facts are being contested. If the defense does not want to contest the facts, then it is assumed that the facts are as the prosecution alleges.
He may well not have done anything of the sort. However, I imagine the cable companies would be very noisy about the issue being ignored if every avenue had not been pursued. Still, he's only been indicted and he could still come out of this easily without a conviction.
To get to the stage where you have an indictment a reasonable number of people have to be convinced that there is enough evidence and a sound enough legal argument for conviction to be possible (even if it's not the most likely outcome). The part where he posted a message on the forum himself of what looked like an illegal act is probably a key part of that evidence, because if you're talking about doing it yourself in public you're condoning the behavior.
The other defendants may well give testimony indicating there was some sort of private communication as well. The indictment PDF won't load for me, so I can't see if that's mentioned at all.
From the article: "Indeed, most of the charges in the six-count indictment announced Monday focus on the activities of others. Four wire fraud charges are based entirely on the fact that a juvenile computer hacker known as “Dshock” downloaded TCNiSO’s firmware and used it to steal broadband."
Enabling and encouraging the illegal act. Soldering iron textbooks don't say "here's how you would construct the timer for a bomb, why not blow up your local library". The guy in this case may well have sent someone an email, posted on a forum or even had it on his website something as simple as "This hack is a great way to avoid paying the telcos your hard earned cash!".
They also probably have some kind of evidence that he did this, otherwise they wouldn't charge him.
This is slightly different; if the hacks allowed you to get free internet or video access off the cable (for instance) you're defrauding the cable provider by getting their service for free.
In Australia we also classify some as "wowsers", that is the people who want to suck all the fun out of life by forcing their morals on everyone (I guess the rest of the world just calls them fundamentalists).
But when he went to Yale, he took an accelerated course in Economics, completing his degree well ahead of the normal span, which I'd say ups his nerd cred. It sounds to me that really what he had that Junior lacked is determination and drive, because he obviously applied himself to everything he did.

That someone would've been the Chinese, who had massive oil shortages at the time.
The second version of this language will be considered harmful.
So this is the way the world ends, not with a whimper, but with a skank.
Not just ecosystem balance, those things creep me the fuck out.
Then you are open to being sued by Helen Keller.

It has a lot to do with birds, just not much to do with chicken.
On a manual/stick it is often advantageous to brake and accelerate at the same time while down-shifting, but the clutch is in when you're doing so.
I believe in the automotive industry it's actually referred to as a loose nut between the steering wheel and the seat.
Apart from when Mars is behind the sun relative the Earth, in which case it would be further away.
As long as you wash your hands.
More the "This is the trigger, pull here to commit murder" leaflet.

Depending on the jurisdiction and if that person did murder someone or not, you may actually be guilty of Negligent Homicide.
Selling bullets is not aiding and abetting. Selling bullets with a handy guide on murdering your neighbor thrown in is.
Quite simple really.
Yes, but if you provide the tools while actively enabling and encouraging people, then you are aiding and abetting, which is what he was charged with.

But the shed kit maker couldn't come and retroactively kick down your fence remotely via an update.
"The fact is, society rewards elite jockdom much more that in does elite nerddom."
I don't know, the founders of companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon (etc) have been rewarded pretty damn well.

Unless they build themselves a robotic exoskeleton!
