I have a brand new Uniden 5.8 set and the packaging says clearly that the handsets transmit at 5.8. There's no mention of any other operating frequency on the box or in the manuals.

I'd be taking this puppy back to the store in no time if it interfered with my WLAN.
Sveasoft distributes the source with every binary. Their obligations to provide source code are fufilled under the GPL. THey don't owe you or anyone anything else.
Now, the "penalty" of losing your subscription if you redistribute may or may not violate. That's a real grey area. Having the user forfeit after redistribution could be seen as adding restrictions to further distribution.
Most Flash content I've seen is ads or novelties. I've found very few sites where Flash contributes anytihng to the site.
The last thing I want on my web enabled phone is crappy Flash content slowing my downloads even further.
I went to an online commerce site where all the merchandise was viewable only in Flash animations. I saved some money that day and the website operator lost a sale.
What a load of bullshit. In my neigherborhood, it isn't the last mile which is copper. If that were the case, I could have gotten DSL from a Verizon competitor. There *is* no copper from the CO to my house. Everything is fiber except for the last 50 feet from the pole. Don't give me this "last mile" bullshit.
Verizon is rolling out fiber to the home because its *cheaper for them* THere's no huge investment in infrastructure. They already have people who splice fiber. They have all the tools. It must be easier for them to get rid of the noisy copper on the last 50 feet and stop training people how to maintain that crap.
SO, I don't get the benefit of a competitive market for local phose service, instead I get to pay more to Verizon for a service which in the end costs them a lot less in service.
Your free market blinders are keeping you from seeing how things really are.
First, I don't like this bundling of services. I want lockin in one area to constrain my choice.
Verizon already restricts people using Verison DSL. SMTP traffic is filtered unless it goes through their server and if it does go through their server, you can only use a verison.net email address.
Plus Verizon is the local telephone monopoly in this area, I don't want to voluntarially give additionnal business to any monopoly. They've sucessfully challanged the law which requires them to share their wires with competitors.
So, while FTTH is an excellent idea, bundling it with a lot of services I don;t need isn't.
We need a regulated monopoly to bring IP to the home and then allow companies to compete in providing services over that wire. The regulated monopoly *must not* be allowed to compete in ancillary services.
We certainly expected that there would be a strange-anticharm meson, but until it was observed, there was no way to tell it's mass (except in a very broad range of likely masses for members of the heavy-light mesons) and it's lifetime. Quantum chromodynamics, while in many respects a remarkably precise theory, still has to have the masses of the particles put into the equations. In a real Theory of Everything, we'd be able to calculate the mass of such a meson before we'd seen it.
These particles certainly exist in nature, but because their lifetime is so short, you'd have to be right where they were created to be able to see them before they decayed. Since our detector-on-the-surface-of-a-neutron-star project (affectionately called the DOTSOAN project) has had its funding denied again, the only place we can be observing right where they were created is right here on Earth in the accellerators.
There was one claim on the case: slander of title. Novell brought a motion for dismissal stating two reasons: falsity and failure to plead special damages. The motion was denied as to falsity, but granted as to special damages.
At the moment, there is no case. Novell does not have to respond to SCO's claims. Novell dosn't have to do anything.
SCO now has 30 days to amend its pleading or else the game is over. There are no other charges to go forward to trial. If they fail to refile, nothing more happens. The case has been dismissed. SCO can pull it out of the dustbin, but it's entirely up to them.
AOL should accept all email from DSL lines because you have a lousy provider who dosn't provide ene-to-end IP service?
Verizon sucks. I have a cable modem just do I don't have to deal with their intentional idiocy. I was willing to pay extra for a Covad DSL line to my house just to avoid them, but there were no copper pairs left from the CO to my house
You could make the same three points about publishers and books. But publishers can't stop libraries from lending books. The US decided that the free lending of copyrighted works enhanced public learning and provided important societal benefits. Surely the availability of caselaw in libraries has significant public benefits, yet libraries can't provide free access to information which is itself *public domain*.
The writer is a librarian who wishes to provide a place where patrons can view and search legal rulings. But the two leading providers *won't license to libraries* without per user charges. It's not that they don't have a product or he's insisting they give it to him for free, they won't let him lend it.
Along the way he complains that all of the free services are incomplete in many ways and not a substitute for LN and WL.
So, the complaint "You can still look it up on your own." misses the point. The patrons of the library *can't* look it up on their own because the library can't provide the information.
First of all, it's difficult to tell which way the Justices are leaning from the questions. They've done their homework and read all thr briefs. They know Lessig's argument. What they are doing in the questioning is testing the argument to find its weaknesses. The stronger the argument, the harder the questions.
When you get down to SG Olsen's questioning, you'll see how thoroughly they demolish his position. "Whatever limit Congress sets as long as its finite" is a non-starter. Later on the Justices joked about theatre boxes in England being leased for 900 years. It's finite in mathematical terms, but unlimited in practical terms.
The real question for the court is how too define appropriate limits to Congressional powers that give meaning to the phrase "limited times" without usurping the Congressional function of setting the limit. They don't want to be in a position of having to say x years is OK, but y years is too long. Lessig has offered them a meaningful place to put that limit. SG Olsem has not.
They are also concerned that the argument which defeats the CTEA defeats the 1976 act as well. Lessig's own brief distinguishes the two and the clerks know this if the Justices don't.
Reading the transcript gave me hope. Several of the Justices got the point that Lessig was making. There is a real liklihood of a positive outcome. Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy and Breyer are likely yesses. There's only one more needed.
It's a little more informative to read the transcript which was posted to the web a few weeks ago. Someone put in the names of the Justices which this official transcript lacks. Also read Lessig's blog. I think he has real reasons to feel confident.
Of course, some folks are so intent on keeping people from enjoying their cars that they continue to push the silly idea that cars produce so much carbon dioxide that the sky will fall. After hearing this nonsense for thirty years, you gotta start asking... when? According to the predictors of doom, we should have been through about three apocalypses by now.
Get it straight. Carbon which has been locked up way below the surface of the Earth for hundreds of millions of years is being pumped up and put in the atmosphere. You are currently seeing the effects even if you are too dim to realize it. Global average temperatures are rising and will continue to rise even if we stopped pumping oil today.

Yeah, it's legal. The Dialectizer modified his site because some deep pockets bank complained. They didn't have a leg to stand on, but they did have expensive lawyers.
I just hate it when companies resort to lawyers when there are technical solutions to their problems. All the humorless bank had to do was stop serving pages to the server that ran the Dialectizer. They were cooperating with him by serving the pages.

What kind of summons? A summons is an order for someone to appear in person to testify or to produce evidence. Is someone asking for the names and addresses of the people who bought the shirts? Is there someone at Copyleft who is wanted to testify somewhere? Are individuals at Copyleft being charged under a criminal DMCA circumvention charge?
Is it in connection with an existing case? The MPAA v. 2600 is done collecting evidence. Is it in connection with the California case DVD-CCA v. the World? Is it in connection with a different case?
Could it really be a Cease and Desist order and not a summons? That is the first step in preperation to filing a lawsuit of this kind.

There is anti-rationalist Christianity and there is rational Christianity. Don't take the views of the anti-rationalists (like the guy above) for the rest of us.
Faith is orthogonal to reason. One can believe or not believe and be rational or non-rational completely independantly. Belief that Science and reason tell you all there is to know about what there is or belief that there is nothing outside of what Science can measure is as much a statement of Faith as is Christianity.
