... I'm pretty sure videotaping TV shows on cassette, which EVERYBODY did, was technically illegal until this latest copyright law passed. So keep that in mind.
If it's for personal use then it's called "time shifting" and it's legal in Canada. If it was illegal then every cable company that sells/rents a PVR is breaking the law.
Making a good profit is not a good reason to run a business inefficiently.
That's precisely how business works. Companies answer to shareholders and shareholders only care about profit. You can talk all you want about "ethical investors" or "green investors" or other such investors but at the end of the day profit rules all.
Of course, it was the best GUI based computer, and they had the first PC.
If by "first PC" you're referring to the Apple II (the Apple I was only a kit) then Commodore beat them by 6 months with the PET. If you're referring to the Macintosh then the IBM PC and Commodore 64 beat them by a few years.
"Transfer orbit". Probably the kind of orbit where you transfer from atmosphere to "space" (as in, getting almost no drag from the atmosphere anymore). That's different from geostationary... and changing to a higher orbit takes a lot of fuel, that's simple.
FTFY.
Changing to a lower orbit takes a lot less energy.
The refueling robots could just drop out of orbit to Earth to be recovered and reused?
That way they can only carry half as much fuel? It takes a lot fuel to get from transfer orbit to geostationary orbit, and just as much fuel to get back down. The energy to get to transfer orbit in the first place is a one-time expense, since atmospheric drag and gravity will get you back down from there.
The reason it takes fuel to get to geostationary orbit is because you're fighting gravity. Why would you need to use the same amount of fuel to come back down when gravity is helping you along?
As someone else pointed out, the refueling robot is now a lot lighter having just refueled a satellite so even less fuel is required. My guess is all you have to do is aim the refueling robot at it's reentry window, give it a nudge and let gravity do the rest.
I have ATI on my laptop and NVIDIA on my desktop. I freely upgrade my desktop kernel and use the NVIDIA installer to update the driver. However, every major X.Org release breaks the ATI drivers for a number of months until ATI gets around to it. The open source ATI drivers are pretty good at keeping up but they suck the daylights out of the battery on my laptop which suggests that the "specs" that they gave the open source community are incomplete.
My experience: NVIDIA - Closed source but well maintained drivers. ATI - Mostly open specs but poorly maintained drivers.
You'd also need a holodeck, transporter, computer with perfect voice recognition and comprehension, and a universal translator. And an android. And for that matter, a woman with Troi's first-season hairdo.
Really? The hairdo? That's the attribute you're going to focus on?
I've had my own mail server for over a decade and except when I change hosting companies I do little more than send and receive emails.
I even host mail servers for some of my non-techie friends. They get a control panel to manage their mailboxes so after I set them up there's nothing I have to do.
Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds? That you think it makes sense to have to chop up the latest HD content into 4GB chunks because of a 30 year old file system.
In California you must have a disabled persons placard or license plate BEFORE you can park in a handicapped parking spot. No placard or license plate, no parking.
If you are taking advantage of not having a licence plate during the grace period then you clearly DO NOT have a disabled persons license plate so you CAN NOT park in a handicapped parking spot.
The grace period was not intended to give the owner of the car a pass on every road infraction.
Jobs was just being his usual self-centred, douche bag self. Unfortunately, society seems to let self-centred, douche bags off the hook...if they're rich.
Based on discussions in TekSavvy's support forums their customers haven't been throttled so Bell dropping their throttling will not affect TekSavvy either positively or negatively. So in other words, for TekSavvy it's business as usual.

Back in my day, they resembled little moons.
That's no moon.

Good to see the Supreme Court of Canada has such a firm grasp of patent law.
What's your point? I could shit in a box and call it innovation; look at Surface.
Does your sh!t in a box have an optional keyboard?
Now you're talking innovation.

If you are not in a country, or a citizen of the country you are not obligated to obey that country's laws. Period.
By your logic Osama Bin Laden was innocent. He was a foreigner on foreign soil so the U.S. had no right to go after him. Period.
Then just follow this link to MyCleanPC. After all, the only way to get the authentic MyCleanPC it to use the correct MyCleanPC website.
That's the exact opposite of my experience.

Why don't they standardize on 55 Hz?
55Hz, 56Hz...whatever it takes.

Actually, it's English everywhere.

So the question is what kind of justice mokery they came up with ?
That would be American justice mockery.
You old farts make me laugh.

That won't stop the police from giving you an iCavitySearch (tm).

I think it's time to retire your DOS PC.

I don't know. I think 3D porn is waaaaay more interesting than 2D.
Whooosh!

Maybe the same people who wont waist there time checking they're spelling also cant be bothered to use the write word. ;-)

That's why I'm on TekSavvy. They offer the same speeds at slightly lower prices but with a 300GB cap. They even have a 5M/unlimited plan.
