IMPACT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth today, Oct. 30th, at approximately 1700 UT. Conditions are favorable for a strong geomagnetic storm as a result of the impact. The CME was hurled toward our planet yesterday by an X10-class explosion from giant sunspot 486. Sky watchers should remain alert for auroras.
I switched to Kiplinger's and found it to provide the same function, cheaper. Why bother going back now that I've got this year's directory for next year's taxes?
Some one mentioned Adobe. Someone should tell them that PDF may soon mean "Please Don't Flee."
There is a valuable lesson here, that Bezos and others have learned the hard way: Don't Piss Off the Internet.
Given this morning's FCC vote, there's soon to only be one media company, anyway. Then, all Rupert Murdock would have to do is buy Tivo. This just saves everyone time and money...
Just printed a copy and gave it to our company's Head of Technology (just to keep him abreast of the latest technologies, you know). Bought it hook line and sinker...
How is it that if 250Million CD-R's vs. 213Million CD's comes to only 46% of the music content in the world is being paid for? I don't know about the rest of you, but I write a lot of CD-R's with data on them. Backups, e-books that my radio club writes and sells, etc. Maybe 10% of the CD's I write are audio...(and personally, for me, nearly all of that is unencumbered from a rights perspective.
To say that "federal regulators have little authority over it" is irresponsible and simply untrue. Starting with the Communications Act of 1934 and subsequent amendments, the FCC has authority over all spectrum (although a big chunk of that is delegated to the NTIA for military and other government uses). As several other posters have noted, Part 15 rules apply here, which is you cannot cause harmful interference and must accept any interference caused you. That does not mean that they do not have authority over it, nor does it mean that they will not exert different authority over it in the future.
All that being said, it has been my experience that market forces often prevail, as does, usually, the majority. Let me see, pay $0 a month, pay $30 a month or pay $50 a month. All things being equal, I'd rather pay $0 a month. But if the majority of the users of the system become travelling salesmen, then perhaps they'd pay the $50 a month for the convenience of sending spam from any airport in the country.
Can I sit in a Starbucks and connect to the freenet? Probably. I doubt the guy who's getting the tips will complain as long as I keep refilling my cup of coffee.
If the service is $30 a month better than the freeware, then I don't mind paying. Hey, I was paying $75/month for Ricochet service.
When I entered GA Tech in 1977, there were 50 students in my graduating class. When I graduated (Co-Op) in 1982, there were 500 entering freshmen. AFIK, the pool kept getting wider from there.
You can't write 30 lines of code on your own? Go to UGA (ask a Tech man "what's the good word," and without thinking, he'll respond "to Hell with Georgia").
While I've not made nearly as much as Gates in my career (and besides, it's Woz that's my hero anyway), I can say that my GA Tech ICS degree prepared me for a VERY interesting career, and I don't regret a minute of it. I don't have a bit of a problem separating the wheat from the chaff...
On a lighter note, I remember when I was in school and the folks asking for the help were the freshman EE majors who had to pass EE 1010 (Fortran programming) as a required fresham course. Always did their programs on punch cards and always bugging the CS majors for help. Inevitably it would be something like their cards were too short, backwards (the line numbers go DOWN not UP!), or needed a good shuffle...
"When I entered GA Tech I couldn't spell engineer and now I are one."
FCC Notice of Proposed Rule Making, RM-9395 proposed to amend Part 73 of the Commission's rules to permit the introduction of Digital Audio Broadcasting in the AM and FM Broadcast Services. MM DOCKET NO. 99-325 seeks comment on the National Radio Systems Committee, DAB Subcommittee's "Evaluation of the iBiquity Digital Corporation's IBOC" system to implement this proposed rule.
What all this says is that the FCC is seeking comment on a system that will allow simultaneous digital and analog broadcast on existing spectrum. Specifically, the IBOC system streams audio in MPEG2 format.
So the $64K question is, what is the difference in streaming in M$ or Real format vs. DAB in MPEG2 format? There is an obvious "flip" answer, but the more fundamental answer lies in the question "what is a broadcast?" According to communications network theory, it is a one-to-many transmission of information or signal. Does not the concept of "webcast" fit this definition? What if the "webcast" were "transmitted" over a wireless link?
You might say, "well, it's a difference of where in the spectrum your signal is located," or "there's no way to tell if it goes over wires or wireless." In the former case, since when does the Copyright Office have jurisdiction over spectrum? In the latter, well, the same can be said about "radio" broadcast, where the signal may be carried over wires, wireless, or transmitted from the same location as the studio.
In fact, with many stations now being "voice tracked" (that is, a DJ sits in a studio and records an 8-hour shift in 45 minutes) and the voice tracks AND the music sent to the local radio station via FTP, one could make a serious case that the transmission from your local radio station is a "webcast."
I made the big mistake when I bought my Palm IIIc to register it. Now I get so much spam from Palm, it's not even funny. Tried unsubscribe page, but it doesn't work. Tech Support said use unsubscribe page.
Palm was a company that used to "get it." Now they're no better than M$...
The Compaq iPaq's had 802.11b for months, and it's REALLY cool (anybody ever been to a Wagamama restaurant?).
It's simple, really. All I have to do is force entry into my website through a page that requires you to agree to an End User License Agreement, giving you license to use my website.

Cough, cough, ahem...
Will it be called "iLies?"
20 minutes on hold with the helpless desk so far. No pop or smtp flowing through.
What bothers me is that 4 Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States voted to suspend Habeas Corpus.

Assuming that TCP/IP over AX.25 (e.g. "ham" packet radio), then TNOS has had this feature since the mid to early 90's...

In Norway, that would me "first cheese."
Add a whole new dimension to the $700 toilet seat, doesn't it?
Bet it's already got a milspec number and everything...
Ironically, AOL is delaying email from Earthlink members...seems a little funny that they might complain about positive efforts to control spam...
Members may see delays in mail being received by AOL members
It must have happened on Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays...
The answer is 42. What is the question?

I assume that the royalty must be paid whether or not terrorist information is encoded in the JPEG, right?
