Big difference. Iran is an embargoed country. China is not. This means that any country that operates in the United States must not deal with that country or face sanctions. When North Korea became financially embargoed most banks around the world avoided dealing with them because they risked sanctions by the United States.
I have a old R31 that I use for browsing and remote desktop. The fn key in the lower left hand corner drives me nuts because I hit it when I try to use ctrl. They eventually fixed it. The T500 at work have the fn and ctrl key flipped the right way. I don't know how much testing they do or if they just work off of customer complaints.
The internet is a interesting and powerful tool. It has changed the way we look at the distribution of information. Laws are being applied to concepts that are to young. There are growing pains. Unfortunately, the government is listening to companies instead of individuals. There are abusive laws that prop these companies up. I think that copyrights are dead since the cost of transference has been reduced to near zero. Artists must say its frustrating to hear this. I don't understand why though.
How much do they make an album?
Most of the money from sales goes to the company for distributing the material. I ask you then, why does a song cost 1.99(or whatever it is now). The cost of producing is held by the author who makes like 10 cents(I might be wrong) from the sale. The other 1.79 goes into distributing the song and a tidy 1.50 profit for the company distributing the song(I don't know the actual numbers). This is absurd. Without copyright this industry would not exist. The DMCA is the only thing keeping this industry viable. If the authors went solo they could easily make money off of advertisements and donations.
What about videos and such?
That would be the only part of the industry that would survive as it doesn't rely on copyright management. There would be restructuring. Concerts would still happen. There would still be merchandise to be made. These services rely on the limitations that can be imposed without managing copyright(material or space). The extra leg work could easily be accomplished by a manager or the author themselves.
How the hell are you supposed to sexually exploit a child using digital evidence? Fiddling with a photo in Photoshop != sexual exploitation in my book. This is really starting to sound more and more like a fucking witch hunt.
I agree. The article does make it sound like its a witch hunt. They feel that people are circumventing the law by using photo shop. It also alludes that they should be punish Sure its inventive, but it doesn't mean that they need to be punished. Maybe they need help and should receive psychiatric treatment instead of being treated like a criminal. They are trying not to harm anyone.
If you've ever had to be responsible for a bunch of kids, you would understand.
I have and understand that its not my problem if the girl wants to hide meds on herself. I would tell her straight up I knew she had them and to give them to me before she makes this worse for herself. If she says no. I call the parents who would deal with their kid appropriately. Supervising children does not give you the right to act instead of their parents.
However, the second you state that school officials are not allowed to check your underwear, that's where everything starts getting hidden.
Yes it would happen like that until it gets out that the parents get called. The last thing a child wants to do is get in trouble with his/her parents. It is much worse then with a teacher that doesn't live with him/her.
I also hope that the student that gave the "tip" that this poor girl had pills in her underwear gets an ass-whoopin severe enough to make her grandkids wince when sitting down!
And what would that accomplish. If she was explained the severity of the situation and that the punishment makes her regret her decision then no one needs to lay a finger on her. Spanking your kids doesn't help if they don't understand why they are being punished.
It would be better if windows didn't disable your account after so many bad guesses and just made you wait a second after each guess. It makes it impossibly long to brute and still is comfortable to use. I think linux already does it.
, but if that was your true reason then you would be able to allow and disallow battery manufacturers that provide safe batteries. Don't lie to us. We are not stupid.
I think humans were honestly carrion eaters before we started cooking our food. Most beef sold isn't fresh its been decomposing for about a month in a controlled environment so that its tender. I don't know about the other meats though.
I had to drive past someone on a bike while texting on the weekend. Not an easy task. The guy was all over the road asking to be hit by someone not watching. It should be against the law to drive, bike, or whatever while trying to do something like distracting. If they do cause an accident it should be man slaughter because there is definitely negligence. Most of us are smart enough not to drive drunk its almost exactly the same thing.
"Wasted tax money", what shortsightedness! I agree with what your saying the ability to promote desirable safe sex will pay for itself easily. As left winged as this sounds, abortion is also a great choice for a couple to have. If people are not ready to have children they will cost the tax payer massive amounts of money to support the ill planned child. These choices give the couple a chance to be productive members of society so that they can have children when they can support them. In the end likely saving huge amounts of tax money.
They are most likely worried that the pictures might infer classified information or they think it had happened with the older system. Maybe you are able to map the positions of the satellites using the pictures. Its only a matter of time before things like that are figured out. The military will then likely declassify the information.
I think the only people that would be willing to jump through all the loop holes required by the FTC would need to make enough money off their blog that its their job. There are very few that can accomplish this. This will stifle free speech more significantly then the benefits it will reap. I honestly don't understand why they would want to try this.
Exactly don't be judgmental. The reason your having trouble meeting people is that you assume that you will only get along with geeks. Personally some of my friends don't like talking computers so I don't talk about computers around them we go out and play pool or something. Once and a while you will meet a fellow geek, usually through friends that you already have.
Isn't the point of open source that you are willing to share the tools that you develop for yourself. Its more cooperativeness then selflessness. If you wanted something to do something specific maybe you should make it yourself or buy it.
I like PC games that release an SDK since that allows you modify the game heavily to your liking. They should really get something going with the console games to do this. It makes games way more enjoyable for a longer time. The "demo mod" is like a patch on this issue. People could easily do the same kind of thing with an SDK.
Why is this even being discussed. Its obviously PR. If you wanted a serious comparison go look on google for one. Honestly you don't trust the sales man to give you the best price on your car. You know he is going to fleece you. Its the same thing here.
I doubt a dsl line would support the traffic that would demand that security be implemented. That said Opera is not really a web browser anyways. Its a suit of tools like the article said that people tend to use online when they don't have to.
Most of the people working in the record industry are just there to get the media to the stores. Since it costs very little to put songs on the internet, the business model of selling the songs in stores doesn't make sense. The record industry is dieing slowly because of this. Fortunately. artists are not in the same predicament. They have more then just that one way(which wasn't that much either) of making money.
The gravel will force motorists to reduce there speed this would be very beneficial on roads that shouldn't see a lot of traffic. Rural roads with schools on them just don't need the traffic and the children will be safer. If they really think about this and implement it properly. I don't think this should be argued as a cost thing more as a traffic control thing.
Fingerprints might not have any use. There could be a multitude of reasons why people have them. People could find them sexy or fear anyone that doesn't have them. They could simple be a by product of another mutation that benefited humans. Evolution is a fun random thing without any real directional purpose. Some times yes mutations are beneficial other times not. People have a lot of trouble understanding that.
The airlines market air travel as safe to get people to use. The fact is it is not. You take a decided risk by flying. The computer and the human both have their own advantages, but planes now a days are sophisticated enough that anything short of catastrophic failure would not make the headlines. There are likely to be thousands of contributing factors that caused the airbus to crash. Unfortunately someone will get the blame even though they were only a small part of the big picture. I think we should learn from our mistakes. Least the sacrifice of the passengers be wasted. When they can save others.
