A lot of video cameras have that feature too. For some reason Apple stopped supporting that after the 5.5G of the ipod and the newer ipods need those special apple cables instead of the standard 3.5mm to RCA cable.
Who on slashdot would open an.exe file after clicking on the supposed video that should start in the browser?
By the way, the person that made the website was creative with that virus (or maybe adware?). I'm sure a lot of naive people would open that (but those don't exist on slashdot, right?)
With big sport games its the broadcast channels you get with antenna and with the digital channels it is better than analog cable TV but sadly no ESPN for the people that watch more sports. Maybe there is a chance to get ESPN from unencrypted satellite channels but I never tried that since I'm living in an apartment and a big dish is no option.
Why not free? The broadcast channels are already free using an antenna and I'm assuming that those are even the most watched ones. Why shouldn't it be possible to get Comedy Central, Discovery Channel free by showing ads like FOX, NBC, etc. ? There are also some countries where only free exists with the exception of HBO like channels.
I'm already getting almost everything free that I watch (or everything after dropping cable). I get the broadcast channels and with hulu I also get the things that I watch on comedy central. The only channel really missing is Discovery channel and I can live without it. (not worth the $50 cable bill for one channel)
California already has 6 areas with Clearwire coverage and nationwide it has about as much coverage as FIOS has. Do we need a new story every time a new coverage area is added?
I would be OK with caps if they are fair caps or just being charged like phone service. I prefer it if they would charge $5-20 for the connection (depending on the chosen speed) and than charge maybe 10 cents a GB (that's what Amazon S3 charges). You can't tell me that charging more than 20 cents a GB is in any way fair. They might even be able to add free nights like Cell phone providers (or whatever time the least usage is).
You could get a router on which you can install DD-WRT (which has bandwidth tracking). With the following link you can find all the hardware that is supported (a lot). http://dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/hardware.html
At my school you had to pay for the locker each semester and there was also something to sign. I don't remember what it was I signed (7 years ago).
I might be a little more for privacy rights than most here since I was living the first 15 years of my life in Germany where there are much stronger privacy rights than in the USA. I'm just sometimes shocked to see how little people care for their privacy.
When steam starts without Internet connection, it will ask if you want to retry connecting to steam or start in offline mode. There is nothing to configure to get it working. It also works if you don't save your password (just tried it to see what happens)
After every school shooting you hear some group calling for the ban of violent video games. The best ones are always the ones where the shooter didn't even play any video games. I wouldn't even see this as news since it happens every single time in every country.
Breaking in into a bank through the ATM machine is probably the worst idea ever. Banks (or at least the banks I worked at) have a motion detector in the room behind the ATM. Only once I saw a bank that had an ATM removed and just covered up with plywood from the outside while the motion detector was disabled in that room. Triggering the ATM alarm is worse than the premises alarm because the premises alarm gets triggered sometimes from cleaning personnel or other employees but for the ATM room you need a special key that not everyone has.
I'm also not sure that you can easily go into debug mode without anyone noticing (assuming some employee let you in that room) because the ATM technicians have to call Diebold before doing anything with the machine. They will know if someone unauthorized is using the ATM and restarting with a live CD won't work because that will also trigger an alarm. I'm guessing it was an Diebold employee that installed the malware since he would have been the only who could have gotten that much access to it.
Good luck with that. I just had my first IT job as contractor (was even lucky to find something) for 5 months and I was lucky to make $400 a week. Now I'm searching again and the IT job market is still bad. But what can someone with a 4.0 GPA Master degree and CCNA certification expect?
We are already on a good way to robotic cars. We already got cars that can park themselves, we got cars that can read street signs (to tell the driver the current speed limit), we got cars that can stay in the lane and keep a distance from the car ahead. We just need a car that puts all those features into one car instead of just a few cars having one of those features.
According to salary.com do public school teachers make 50K on average. That doesn't sound bad. I also heard from another teacher complaining how little she made but later learned that she was also in the 50K range. In my opinion do public school teachers make too much money already for what they offer.
You are right, if the item cannot be bought new any more than there is no loss for the publisher. In that case I believe that there shouldn't even be a copyright anymore on the software.
Does anyone have real evidence that the used game industry really harms developers?
I don't have real evidence but common sense. Every used item "harms" the creator of it because the creator of the used item doesn't make money on the resell. The creator only cares about the amount of new items sold and reduced used items will cause more new items being sold (not the same amount as used copies sold before). Software also doesn't get bad over time so that you can get the same quality as the new item. You could argue that prices will get lower for new items if no resell is possible but like with digital distribution it doesn't happen because most companies are not non-profit.
Hulu has sometimes live streams. For example, the Presidential Inauguration was live on hulu. Technically it is already possible for them but cable companies wouldn't like it and probably force them not to offer it like they did with cutting of Boxee since it made Internet TV on the television too easy.
1. They don't have the right to take away the property of the student. 2. I would just never go to detention and taking property away would cause a fast law-suit if it happens more than once.
By the way, how can you ban a student from the school property for a week? Don't students have the right of a public education in the USA? (I know in Germany they have the right of education)
I had my own problems as student when I was around middle school age in Germany because I didn't participate in a Ethics class where the grade didn't count for anything in Berlin (but I was quiet in the back of class) and my sister had her problems in middle school and high school in the USA.
Schools should never be allowed to take your rights away even if most try to do it.

Just remember that we are talking about Germany where a judge makes the decisions and never a jury.
There is no need for new laws. Privacy and harassment laws already exists. I'm not sure if the USA also has dignity laws (couldn't believe it if not).

Isn't a locker search already going to far? Don't students rent the lockers from the school and can be compared to you renting an apartment?
Get a court order if you need to search a locker or an apartment/house. If you can't get one than you probably don't have enough prove.
After every school shooting you hear some group calling for the ban of violent video games. The best ones are always the ones where the shooter didn't even play any video games.

You mean like the TN products that are on the market since about a year?

This year they will release the helmet where you can fell the head shots.

Did you read the article? I'm guessing not since it has the torrent links and rss feed for the show.

Interesting that the terrorist are still allowed to use Google Street View to see what the blurred building is.
The problem is the accusation of illegal content instead of proving to a court first that it is illegal.
Like pjt33 said, it should be a civil matter.
