Yes, they did. And they also demanded that person contact them and tell them what action they took. That could come across as a threat... or a scam. Both were likely just deleted. If the account actually does get shutdown (don't know if Google is going to appeal now or not), the bank needs to be sued... and sued BIG! I'm sure quite many landsh^h^h^h^hwyers would love to handle the case. And in the mean time, people having accounts there need to be getting their money out fast.
... and memory cards, ham radio operators did this one in 1989, which was just standard definition, but it went further (from Illinois to nearly Indianapolis) and higher. It just transmitted the signal back via the UHF transmitter on board.
Looks like Javascript managed preloading, maybe AJAX style. They could make the preview scrolls wrap around instead of just stop at the ends like they have now. That's not hard to do. I made this 360 degree panorama wrap around with a little bit of Javascript. The big difference is they move faster a finit distance and stop. Mine moves slower but keeps going until manually stopped.
If they are going to want payments, they are going to have to figure out a reliable, safe, and non-abusable, payment system. Credit cards and PayPal don't cut it.
Too many newspapers and other news sites split articles into a bunch of pages. It takes time to get the next page to load. Some of them use standard hyperlinks for the next page and put it at the top of the page. On those sites, I can click with the middle button and have the page pre-loading in the next tab. Then which I get done reading this page, I click the tab for the next page, click with middle button for the 3rd page to start pre-loading that one, and proceed to read the 2nd page. Rinse, lather, repeat. Trouble is, too many sites use Javascript to interfere with this, probably to force people to have time to read all the ads. Google will have to face that... that news sites really prefer to have people reading the ads instead of the news.
That still doesn't work if the original content failed to be completely delivered, and was not detected as such because no length is sent (because it's effectively dynamic because some script is pulling the content out of a database). The script quits. The browser got empty content and cached it. Now cache hits pull up empty content.
The script on the server end needs to collect ALL the content before sending any, and count all the bytes, construct an HTTP Length header, then send the headers and content. Then if transmission fails, the browser knows it's not cachable because the length didn't match. If the script gets an error from the database, it should try again to a certain point, and if the failure is considered permanent, mark the response not to be cached and finish out with an error response code.
... and this gives Ebay the ease to do whatever they want, including screw both buyer and sellers with terrible service, terrible support, and terrible implementations. I actually like the design layout. But to the extent the implementation fails to deliver, whether that is because of incompatible CSS, mishandled HTTP requests, or whatever... well they can get away with cheapness on their end because... you are absolutely right about nobody will leave Ebay.
Actually, I see it called "minnepinne" (one word) more, rarely "minne pinne" (given that way so people could see the two word origin). This is the first time I've seen it called "minnespinne". Remember, this is the internet age when puns and cuteness dominate.
You're saying that in Texas, it would be expected that 300 people would have specific information about a case suitable for the defense attorney to consider using? I can believe that maybe one or two people possibly might. But 300 ??? No, I thing this attorney is building a case to get an appeals court to dismiss for mistrial.
A few LCD TV models can be tapped inside. The decoded digital video stream coming in becomes analog as it passes to the LCD module. Although that video isn't linear, it is interestingly usable. For example, instead of being perfectly linear, the video actually comes across in 256 or 1024 stair-step values. By specifically decoding this, a perfect video copy can be made.
What does the MPAA fear most? A few techno geeks with engineering background that know how to do this, leaking it onto the internet? A millions of home viewers time shifting it so they don't have to skip work to watch it, or can make a copy for Aunt Margie who doesn't have cable? Obviously they want to charge premium for it. They should just to it over the internet where they can encrypt anything they want and don't have to answer to the FCC about it, and can rape, pillage, and plunder the consumers at will, just like so many other internet scams do.

If you think the technical aspects are trivial, maybe you can describe. What I know is that if the CPUs/architectures are not identical, then things like data exchange become difficult. This is especially so with floating point. A truly trivial way to exchange data between exactly like architectures is to dump bytes of memory exactly as formatted. But if the architectures are different, not only is conversion required, but it is also necessary to decide what format to exchange in that is neutral and fair. That means the conversion cannot place more work on one CPU type and less on the other. If one CPU is big endian and the other is little endian, then choosing to exchange in big endian format means more work for the little endian machine (something already imposed on the little endian machines now for most internet protocols). In gaming, total CPU performance is a big factor because of the competition, while the internet really doesn't care because it's rarely a game of who can load Slashdot faster (especially with the last mile network access being so slow in most countries, including the USA). I don't follow the game console business so I don't even know what they use for CPUs. I've heard at least some don't use Intel CPUs. So this is likely one of many issues. No doubt the commercial competition issue is a huge factor, and even alone could ensure no interoperability. But the technical aspects are not trivial. They will require negotiations, research, and investment in the development. And for what gain?
Everything that is new starts out in the not particularly popular phase. Some things rise rapidly, usually because there is nothing else before them. Some things rise more slowly. And, of course, there are lots of failures that never make it. Just because something is new doesn't mean squat one way or the other. Everything was new at one point.
I do agree that if the promotion of Ogg Theora is done strictly on the basis of no patent encumbrance, then it won't gain any significant popularity. That's because most people don't know, and even if they were informed, would not care. They see the other codecs (usually without even knowing the word "codec") as working, and dirt cheap, or free (not knowing they paid for it in some way, either in the computer they bought, or the advertising they see). If Ogg Theora is to live on, it will have to be promoted in a way that is beyond the basis of its current talking points.
Dirac has at least the advantage that it has BBC backing. I personally would like at least one of Dirac or Theora to become widely used. But I'm not in the arena that needs to promote it, so I may not get my wish. But please don't knock it because it is new or not yet popular. OTOH, if it doesn't have any gains in a few years, then it should die off.

Why not just use tar raw on the device. I have.

Ubuntu won't accept some of the UIDs I have on my Slackware systems.
In Norwegian and Swedish you can call it "minne pinne".
... by releasing crippleware.
