Thing is, RFID does not contain any information, it simply stores a number. One will scan the tag, get back ID 3214119413184351346843164684135146 and the software in the reader, or on the computer, or whatever will do a look up on a database and return the information. Of course like anysoftware, the privacy comes into play on who has access to that specific reader, as only that specific reader has access to the database.
Sure any reader can scan the RFID, but the best that will be returned is 3214119413184351346843164684135146.
There may not be GNU replacements, but tons of really pricy ($10,000+ per seat) engineering software now comes in Linux versions alongside the UNIX ones.
But we are not talking about the CAD programs made to be used by everyone. We are talking programs to design pin layouts for power cables. Programs that hook to a million dollar machine to test composite meterial strength. Programs that program the robotic arms to move stuff around. Programs to... well, you get the picture.
Do you have those hardware stores that feel the need to stick a pricetag on every single $0.02 bolt and nut?
It's not a matter of what they feel the need to do, it's a matter of what the law requires them tho do. Yes I have seen some hardware stores here in Flint do that. Stupid consumer protection law that is designed to make stores honest. What is on the package is what is charged no matter what the computer rings up (unless the store thinks you switched stickers.) As I see the same amount of pricing mistakes here as I did when I lived in Texas, all the law really does is cause prices to go up as the stores have to employ that kid to price everything.
I'm more worried that MS won't fight to discredit the patent, but will instead buy the patent rights from the company, and then use their clout and lawyers to try to defend the patent with them as the patent owner.
I doubt that honestly. If they were inclined to do that they would have bought the plug-in patent from Eolas.
Actually, I "think" I have it narrowed now to at least why it is happening.
I have Firefox on three computers, two with adblock blocking http://ads.osdn.com/* and it happens all the time on those two. On the one computer I don't block the ads on I have never had the issue.
This has nothing to do with Comcast worried about blocking their own customers running an SMTP server. Like you said, the customer is not allowed to run one anyway. What they are worried about (rightly so, IMO) is that once they block port 25 outgoing, it will block stuff like my hosting service, my 2nd ISP's SMTP server, my work's SMTP, etc...
I would not say harbor Freight is utter crap, just close. I buy tools from them all the time for very good prices, but only the tools I'm know I'm going to be using 2-3 times a year. Anything I plan on using even once a month gets a name brand type tool.
10% of world sales? How on earth can the EU fine them for world sales based on an action brought in the EU? I really don't care what the fine is, make it 10% or make it 100%, but make it only for units sold in the EU.
Unfortunately way too many companies are blocking port 25, so SMTP Auth isn't an option for them. My hosting company uses SMTP Auth only, but thanks to Charter MI I get the privilege (Yes, sarcasm) of using only mail.chartermi.net to send mail. And don't get me started on taking my laptop to work or vacation and not having access to their mail server as it's only IP based to send mail, so I get to switch everything to my real settings to send mail there.
Children age 12
They are actually suing the mother, who then spun it to point the finger at her 12 year old. Nice mom, huh?
Grandmothers
Don't know about that case.
People without actual computers
I have a hard time believing that one. They got the contact information from an ISP, so even if they did not own a computer, they were responsible (paying for) an internet account.
Not in your list, but another post. Spanish song, when the guy didn't speak Spanish
I only know English, but I listen to Spanish and Russian music all the time as I love the sound. One doesn't have to understand the words to like the song.
The article mentioned most were upgrading, so let's go through the list of software I use.
Office. New version for Apple
MS Money. ok, I get to go back to Quicken, which I changed from as i didn't like them.
Adobe Photoshop Album. iPicture (or whatever it's called) will work. Now all I need to do is re-orginize everything to work with it.
Paint Shop Pro. Replace with Photoshop Elements? Is there even a good mid-range graphics program for the Mac?
Nokia phone software. Sorry, out of luck.
Mastercook. I might find somthing, heck for all I know a Mac version is made.
So while it is possible to get a Mac, it's rarely somthing as easy as going to apple.com and ordering one and saying here you go. Of course if they didn't have a computer to begin with, it's a wonderful idea.
Apparently "unlimited" has been redefined w/o our knowledge.
Not really.
Not so much it's redifined, as it's assumed you know the understand what's not said. The ISP I work at has a very good definition of "unlimited".
"Unlimited use" account does not constitute a dedicated connection. Under this plan Subscriber must be interactively using the connection to [ISP]. Subscriber must not use any artificial mechanism to stay on line and must be subject to the 20-minute inactivity timeout. Subscriber also agrees not to run any data server, including but not limited to Web servers and/or FTP servers, on such account. [ISP] reserves the right to restrict servers on such account
So yes, it it unlimited, as long as you are actually using it. If you walk away from the computer for 8 hours, then it goes beyond unlimited.
If you need a better connection there is always the options of a dedicated connection with the costs rising, of course.
If you do this with alot of things you buy you almost will buy nothing.
Take a cellphone. Where was assembled? Where were the parts made? Where is the head/design/engineering office?
Well, if it's a Nokia then it was made in Keller, TX, (Outside Ft. Worth) the parts are shiped from all over including the Motorola factory in Haltom, TX (again, outside Ft. Worth) their main / design office is in Irving, TX (Outside Dallas). Yes this is likely just for the American phones, but just because a product has a name of Nokia, Samsung, Sony, etc dosn't mean its made outside of the states. Of course on the same token just because it has the name Ford, DuPont, GM, etc.. dosn't mean it's made in the states either.
"Security issues identified in Internet Explorer could allow an attacker toc ompromise systems with Internet Explorer installed (even if it is not used as the Web browser). For example, an attacker could run programs on a computer used to view the attacker's Web site. Download this update from Microsoft to help protect your computer. After installation, you may have to restart your computer."
They put that in there for those worwsers that use IE's html engine, but arn't IE. Browsers like MyIE2 and such.
Any real browser it will not affect, like Mozilla and Opera as they use their own rendering engine.
Or you could just read the full text of the bill at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:H.R.316 1: so you will see that neither are correct. At least I would love to see someone argue there are loopholes there.:)
But with a Canon it's very easy to get around. At least with my s520 I'm able to go into the printer properties and disable bi-directional support. No nagging about ink now and no side effects that I've seen.
Please, plaes, please tell me you're not gullable enough to actually belive this was true. Heck, even the name of it was obviously a joke saying Apple's iApps suite is crap.

Just my two cents on a possible cause.

But how do you connect it to the Internet to download patches for the game? ;-)
x e
1 28bit/4.0/W351/EN-US/sesetup.exe
Windows 3.11 and the TCP/IP driver put out by Microsoft.
You can get the driver at their site at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/tcp32b.e
And IE 4.0 at http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie40win31/
So what you are saying is that you use broadband all the time, you just time-shift it when you need it?
Formicia and sheetrock to name two.

One of the best quotes I ever heard....
"Xbox and PS are aimed at the 16-22 year olds, and Nintendo wants everyone else"
And how true that quote is...
Shoot, man! That's what SMTP Auth is for.
Unfortunately way too many companies are blocking port 25, so SMTP Auth isn't an option for them. My hosting company uses SMTP Auth only, but thanks to Charter MI I get the privilege (Yes, sarcasm) of using only mail.chartermi.net to send mail.
