Unfortunately, when you get off the beaten path, you tend to be ignored. If you do a general Google search you get overwhelmed with false positives due to the large user community which also happens to be web wise. They really need a good community 'help' system that flags 'unresolved' issues and keeps them at the top of the list. I'm not referring to bug reports as they have a good system for that, but rather general user help. Forums are fine for a common question but anything off the beaten track is quickly buried under newer posts.
How can they prosecute uploading to others without actual proof that she uploaded an entire song? Torrent clients simply offer up the files. Wouldn't the person downloading has to initiate the connection, much like a prostitute would have to solicit a cop?
She shouldn't be charged with any criminal activities acted out by other individuals. She did not force them to download from her. She is responsible only for the content she downloaded. One could even argue that it is negligence on the record companies part for making the music so readily available to shared out if you follow their current punitive damage model of X gave to Y who gave to Z.
Should she be charged for copying copyrighted material? Yes
Should she be charged for other people copying the same material from her? No.
So will the tax money eventually be 'payed back' to the tax payer? In other words, at some point someone will profit from these new pipes at the expense of the taxpayer. Why aren't they demanding compensation for the cost they are fronting?
I don't see how this is all that much different than having a baby with a blond, or someone with green eyes. The only difference here is you'll know what your getting instead of pot luck.
If they were actually changing those attributes, I suppose I could see an issue with that (well..maybe not..it is only hair color and eye color after all), but this seems kind of silly.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the iphone API specifically prevent 3rd party apps from accessing sensitive areas? For instance non-system apps can't access things like your personal address book. Would those additional controls mitigate the exposure here to the non-sensitive user space?
Don't get me wrong. Any exposure is bad, but the summary makes this sound like some full blown windows remote code execution issue.
Are there any iPhone developers who can chime in with some insight?
Questions question questions. Hopefully someone who's been keeping up with event is reading. This is exciting stuff!
I'm curious how far out this will be in comparison to Hubble. Is this in a Lagrange Point? The articles I'm finding via Google just note the distance but don't say much else about it.
Also, will the longer wavelengths give it a better chance of imaging through dust? What effect will it have on the images produced as opposed to Hubble?
Finally, given it's about a meter larger in diameter for the mirror, do they expect that this one will be able to actually image exoplanets? I seem to recall a blip of a story that Hubble 'may' have been able to actually image an exoplanet, but from what I recall, it was almost like a pimple on the edge of a solar disc. Exciting to people in the field, but visually it left something to be desired;)
So you would rather all mac buyers are saddled with the cost of this adapter so that you can feel better about your purchase? That doesn't make good business sense.
If they required a smaller adapter to fit design aesthetics, then it is what it is. If it didn't meet your needs or you didn't research it's port capability before hand then this sounds more like a lack of planning on your part.
I don't intend this to sound spiteful or angry as I have made similar mistakes with my own purchases in the past (specifically with HDTV outputs not meeting my requirements). You simply have to do your homework and ensure that the hardware your buying fits your needs.
Considering you can get them for $14 - $25 dollars, I might consider your $100 boast a bit hard to believe. A simple search on Google or even Amazon should have netted you a much better price.
Actually there is no proof at all that God exists (read: 'faith'). There is plenty of mathematical evidence to explain gravity. We may not be able to reproduce it directly, but it is most certainly measurable and quantifiable.
The theory of gravity is just that. A theory. It has gone beyond a hypotheses.
Unless something more 'provable' comes along, it will remain the dominant theory. It's unlikely that 'God's Gravity Hypothesis' will oust it any time soon.
Mod artor up! If history has taught us anything, it's that a persons home town (or home state here in the US) will overwhelmingly vote for a home boy regardless of talent, platform. I can only assume this is human nature and the 'home team' mentality. It probably also takes into considerations local views on social issues, political affiliation, etc. Like attracts like, and children tend to follow in their parents footsteps ideologically. To say that Mousavi lost by such a landslide in his home town is a little hard to believe. I could understand if he was a total douche, but the guy did get on the national ticket after all.
The other piece I find hard to swallow is that election results that normally took days were suddenly returning millions of results almost immediately after the polls closed. I'm not saying it's impossible that Mousavi lost (hell, we elected Bush for his second term), but there are some obvious inconsistencies, as well as the severe lockdown in media access. Transparency can do a lot to validate an election. This one has thrown any shot of that out the window.
Of course it's relevant. Most animal species share common traits including the 'human' animal. Most studies are started with animals exhibiting similar traits and then studies are carried over to humans. If similar skin traits can be found in other species that are not used for the same purpose in our species, then the purpose we believe they might be useful for becomes less certain.
You forgot to mention that they don't even use 'live' virus any more. The vaccines used today for flu are not 'dangerous' unless you have an egg allergy. They basically just prime your immune system so that it can properly recognize a flu infection and respond accordingly. They do not inject you with live flu virus.
I don't know if I'm typical, but before I started telecommuting, I had to drive 60 miles a day and I live in a major metropolitan city. My drive was pretty typical according to my coworkers. Anyone who lives in a big city can tell you that most drives take far more than '15 minutes'. Typically more like 20-30 just to get somewhere. This kind of auto would be ideal for such commutes around town, or back and forth to work. It's only when you need to go out to dinner or whatnot that a larger vehicle would be needed.
I would imagine that when this object hit flesh, it acted much like a hyper accelerated bullet. It probably went right through him. I would imagine the impact itself is what threw him back.
The timing issue is nothing. People always get a skewed recollection of time in stressful or surprise moments.
I disagree. This is no different than laws designed to deter individuals from performing unacceptable acts. Peer pressure can be a socially acceptable conditioning tool. The end result is the same. If these online vigilantes help capture said criminals then it harms no one. If the go beyond that and in turn break the laws, then they should be dealt with accordingly. That doesn't mean that all vigilante acts are inherently wrong.
Yes, but there were no contract requirements for 2G or 3G to upgrade your phone. You were eligible to upgrade at any time. That is no longer the case with 3GS. I'm curious to see if it will stick or not by the release date.
Actually this is a little new. All previous generation iPhones allowed existing iPhone users to upgrade at any time. This is new where they are trying to at least stick to the 2 year upgrade cycle in print anyway.
Full 64 bit support (I didn't realize there was any 32 bit thunking going on). At least that's history
I heard a rumor that BootCamp will now come with native HPFS read/write support? (can someone confirm?)
OpenCL
Multi-Core optimization
The updated finder code sounds interesting, but I don't know if it gets me excited in my pants. Still worth $49 bucks for 5 licenses in my book.
Neither the infrastructure or agreements with the carriers were in place when it was originally released. Now that it's been announced with 3.0, there is still only limited support (and still none from AT&T). I would have pulled it as well.
Apple announced that Snow Leopard will be shipped in September and will cost $29. The five-license Family Pack will cost $49. Those purchasing new Macs between June 8 and December 26, 2009 will be able to get Snow Leopard for $9.95.
For those looking to upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X and iLife at the same time, the Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 will cost $169, with a Family Pack priced at $229.
Apple is packaging Snow Leopard as an "upgrade" for Leopard users, which explains the $29 price (previous versions of Mac OS X have retailed for $129)

Considering the iPhone OS underpinnings are based on Unix, I don't think the hat would be made out of tin...
