I've gotten a few of those. They are pretty meaningless. What happens is MGM or some studio tracks a popular torrent of some movie they own the rights to. All you can get from a torrent though is the IP address of other people sharing it. You can trace an IP address to the ISP but that is about it, so MGM sends a letter off you all the ISPs saying their users are hosting their content illegally. Now being in Canada and not the US, we play by a different rule book and frankly, ISP don't answer to movie studios. What they will do is send you the user an email saying basically, MGM as notified us that your IP address has been detected for hosting content "movie title here" who owns the rights to said title. We like to remind you that breaking the law is against the law and it is illegal to do illegal things and you should look both ways before crossing the street.
If you actually read the email they send you, there is no threat of action being taken against you by either the movie studio or your ISP, just a scary looking notice.
The way I read it, there is nothing for him to quote. She was the one that send all the messages and none were a reply to anything. If that doesn't scream bat shit crazy, I don't know what else does.
What your asking if fucking insane! You expect him to after identifying the correct host, to research their hosting TOS, determine how someone violating his copyright will be affect for violating their TOS. Now because of Go Daddy polices, he need to discover what other domains she may be running, determine the content of those sites and then decide if it's morally acceptable to exercise his legal right to file a DMCA take down notice or not? And then do that 30 more times or how many more times he had to?
Look, I understand the mentality that if we have a problem, you would want me to come to you first and try to hash it out before we got the law involved but that is just man to man respect thing that only works at the personal level. You can't take business personal. As shitty as the DMCA is, a take down notice is just a legal notice that says "That is my material your using, I'm the legitimate owner and I don't want you using it for free." The notice also puts him in direct contact with the owner. No run around, no back n forth, just straight to someone that can and will make a decision. The fallout of using a DMCA take down notice is irrelevant. It's like telling a woman that you shouldn't file a sexual harassment suit against me now because I'm trying to run for mayor this year. If you have issue with all her websites being taken down, your problem is with Go Daddy. If you have issue with content being taken down at all with a DMCA notice, your issue is with the DMCA. Don't take it out on the guy trying to protect his work and was very cool and reasonable about the whole thing. He didn't threaten to sue everyone, he didn't demand payment from everyone. He just asked them to remove his photo or if you would like to license the image, here are his prices. You can't get any more decent than that.
Viewing the material can probably be equated to taking drugs or alcohol. Watching stuff makes you feel better, while your watching it. Once the material is over, the effect wares off and your back to where you. Depresses people are looking for a hit of happiness and download more material looking for more hits. While not fixing the underlying problems of depression, at bare minimum the extra browsing is a coping mechanism and possibly an identifying tool.
So basically, people that are depressed look for things that might make them feel better such as entertainment from videos, movies and games. They send more emails to reach out to other people trying to connect in an attempt to feel better. If you think about it, should anyone really be surprised?
Twitter is standing up for user privacy rights by saying, user tweets are the users property and not ours and we won't just give them out to anyone that asks. If a judge issues a warrant then we will comply with the law but Twitter is not going to be an evidence locker that lawyers can take everything you say and hold it against you.
Learning is one thing but the question was "what is the best way" The answer is not at all. Those perfectly good drives are far from perfect and probably nearly no good. Regardless how much you value your time, don't bother wasting your time putting together a bad system that will cause you many more hours of headaches in the near future when it does fail.
Whats not to get? I said give me choice. Maybe I want accounts linked, maybe I don't but if I choose not to link them, don't keep pestering me to link them together.
For a time MSN would pop up with an email notification that you got new mail in your hotmail account. Click the check mail button and Explorer would open despite Firefox being my default browser. Hell, I have a Firefox window open and MSN still wants to use explorer and NO option to change it. They fixed that in later versions but that is the Microsoft mind set that Microsoft is your default choice and that your wrong for wanting to use anything else.
Don't, they have done it to them selves. If Microsoft stopped forcing it's own software down your throat and gave users choice they would have better products. Windows 8? You need to use your windows live account, check your email through Live messenger, you want to use Internet explorer, don't you. Also your default search is Bing, whoops you changed that to Google, lets change that back to Bing because you fucking love Bing, don't you? Don't you!?!
Sometime when products work together they work better but sometimes you need separation between your accounts. If I have an Xbox live account I may want my credit card on there to buy things but if I also have a hotmail account, I may have zero reason for hotmail to have my credit card number. Maybe I want them linked together and to share data and maybe I want them worlds apart and not even know the other exists. Just give me a fucking choice.
Your avoiding the main question. Why is it illegal? Because it's against copyright is not an answer. Why the hell does copyright say it is not okay to buy books in one country and sell them in another? What is the law protecting? Is it just a business model? If so, then that is not good enough.
Actually they don't say. "send to us for replacement", they say, "call us for support." Do you know why they do that? The reason is because most of the there is nothing wrong with the product. People can't be bothered to read set up guides or manuals and just figure that it must be broken. People expect to open a box and start using something not realizing that there may be some packing tape or plastic over a battery terminal that need to be removed.
A phone call to the company that MAKES THE PRODUCT will give people more information than some sales guy that only maybe know a little about every product. Maybe the sales guys favors another brand and his fix is to return the device and sell another brand that he does know. Calling the manufacture helps keep the sale instead of loosing it.
He's not looking for a solution just yet. He wants a starting point. You making things too complex too fast. The question is, can you do those things for cheap? Is it possible? If you have a question, the answer is "Ideal conditions"
What are the typical and maximum wind speeds in the valleys you are looking at? - No wind
How high above sea level are you, and what is the highest point you want the drone to get to? Sea level to 10 feet
Are there constraints on noise (ie will a loud engine cause avalanches? - Doesn't matter
Now build a simple solution. Lets see, GPS, cameras, autonomy, collision detection, 20km range. The cheapest is about $9,000. But it might not meet your needs.
Now the poster sees that and think 1 of two things.
1. Oh damn, I was hoping for something between $1,000 - $2,000 so I'm not going to find something that will work in my price range. I'll give up searching for now. Or
2. Sweet, That is well below what I'm willing to spend. Lets do some more research and ask more questions about what I really need now I know that this is feasible.
And that is exactly why business cards will not die. Every phone needs to be compatible, be it blackberry, Iphone or anything else. It needs to be fast fast as pushing a button from your phone being in standby to send a card and as simple as receiving an email where the only action needed is to save or delete. Until you get a group of non tech people to exchange cards with their phones just as fast or faster then it takes for me to hand you a piece of paper, business cards will not go away.
If you are willing to put in some time, eventually you can earn those exact same weapons. With a bit of time the playing field is still level and skill is more important.
The only advantage of paying is you can buy the weapon and have it now. Most weapons in TF2 are fairly well balanced so even someone that buys every single weapon versus someone with stock weapons will still be fairly even.
He said he is Canadian. He lives in Canada. Canada is a part of North America just like the U.S.A is a part of North America. Technically all Canadians can be called North Americans or even Americans the same that all French and German people can be called Europeans. The difference is that the United States have taken the term American for them selves and there is nothing else really to call them.
The dissuasive role you are referring to is what keeps American from flying more often if at all. It's what is keeping international business people from visiting America. While it may keep joe blow from bringing a gun on a flight just to make a point, it doesn't do a thing to a terrorist because they know they are going to get through because they have studied the system and know what they are doing.
The question is does flagging a file "deleted" satisfy the legal requirements of a DMCA notice. If it does, then why didn't Flicker implement this method. If is does not, how does the law expect files to be restored when a DMCA notice is challenged?
Basically this is just another example of why DMCA is such crappy legislation and why we don't need more like SOPA.
The simple reason other than cost was that there was nothing to see. Of all the services advertised, only one or two would appeal to the home user. I can do banking at home? Too bad my bank isn't supported. Check the weather? Sure I'll turn on the tv and computer, spend $10 and 30 mins downloading all the menus and eventually the local weather, or I can just pick up the paper that was delivered this morning. I can check my stocks and oh look, my stocks went up in value. Too bad my stock gains were negated by the costs it takes to check my stocks on this damn machine.
Now news and sports. You're starting to get into an area that people want to see, unfortunately the cost, speed and quality pales in comparison to other services like tv or the paper. Even then after you spent a few minuets getting the latest news, what the hell do you do with it? Play a few crappy games that cost you way to much just to stay online?
Think about how you use the internet. Do you spend all of you time looking at stocks or just on cooperate web sites like FOX or CNN your you bank website? Sure you might use them, (FOX? Really?) but you spend most of your time looking at contend created by regular users. Web comics, blogs, videos and forums. People that made stuff shared it on the internet and that is what got other people online. They saw it, asked for more and then made something them selves.
Lets just make sure we are using the correct terms here are are talking about the correct crime. In no way did he imply or state that stealing is wrong but copying is okay.
Besides, I much rather say that he raped the megabytes in the servers then kitten murdered the data over the internet.
Murder is very bad right? So this must be one guilty fucker.
Where exactly does this sense of trust come from? Because you were a student and you trusted other students? You trust the faculty because they wouldn't risk their jobs?
That's great you have that much faith in your friends and such but that is not everyone that is in a university. Most schools have wide open doors most of the day where anyone can come and go as they please. Strangers are welcomed daily from delivery people, maintenance specialists, tour groups and friends of students and staff. It doesn't take much for someone to walk past an open door with a laptop sitting on the desk. It only take a few seconds for someone to throw it in their bag all because of an opportunity. Some people have the mentality that if something expensive isn't locked down, it means they don't want it so it might as well have a free sign on it.
That's just dirty marketing. When you're paying a set percentage on everything it's fine not to include it in the final price because we all know what the percentage is and we expect to pay it. The problem with airline tickets was there are other taxes and fees that are hidden until you went to pay so they can advertise a $500.00 flight and charge you $1200.00 when you went to pay. People demanded clear pricing and the government provided it.
It's because it is so bloody hard to program them amusing people are aware that they exist. When instructions include understanding flashing lights, it may as well be speaking Greek to them. And the product codes, could it be any more complicated?
When it takes 60 seconds to enter a code and you look at the code charts they go something like this.
TV - Sony - 38-65
VCR - Sony - 45-55
TV/VCR Combo - Sony - 67-88
DVD - Sony - 22-76
PVR - Sony - 31-36
Blueray - Sony - 53-71
So after spending an hour or more programing the thing there is always one device that won't work because it's more than 5 years old and you have this massive remote with 50 buttons that are never used for anything.
Everything is negotiable, thing can move one way or another. If the employer won't move and you sign it, your the one that moved on your position and chose to give up rights for money. There is always a choice.

Technology usually causes more problems than it fixes, usually because someone is trying to use the newest tech for something that doesn't need it.
And that is exactly why business cards will not die. Every phone needs to be compatible, be it blackberry, Iphone or anything else.

So in other words... you hate successful people and most likely because you are a failure.
