but it occurs to me that Wal-mart's core customer group are not exactly likely to own DVD players.
Hmmm...I shop at Wal-mart and I own several DVD players. One of my neighboors (who lives to go shopping at wal-mart at midnight with her 6 year old - if that's not their core customers...) bought a DVD player just because of the Harry Potter DVD.
Though I do believe that our wal-mart is a little less than typical...compared to other ones I've been in, we seem to have a higher class of person.
Some of the stuff is crap, but some isn't and you can find some deals sometimes - and it's better than Best Buy.
I think Oracle on Windows is just a way for Ellison to make some more money.
Larry Ellison hates Bill Gates and probably sees himself as some ancient-samuari whose job it is to vanquish Gates. Support for Linux means that someone who has a PC doesn't have to run it on Windows now.
It may even spur on the forthcoming peoplesoft Linux support.
In addition, you should probably also show that buy using this GPL'd code, you saved $X from not having to buy something, and if it took you 10 minutes to make the change, then it is a savings for the company, plus if they let you release it back to the community, it is good for the company's name.
Though I'm sure the legal department would have a whole list of hypothetical problems that could arise.
But I thought the takedown provisions of the DMCA were to keep ISP's from being liable for copyright infringement.
But if the site is selling the physical items online, that is most likely not a copyright issue. Perhaps McCall's could claim copyright over the box that is displayed in an online store, but I would hope that would fall under fair use - imagine the power Wal-Mart could exert by telling some vendor "we will only carry your product if we are the only ones that can place a picture and description on the web."
I though radio signals were just light in another wavelength...so first light holds...of course this also means that Puerto Rico will be covered with clouds (or something to block the radio wavelengths:)
15G is probably just the 45Mbit - if not you got a better deal than me.:)
Our problem was the students using all the bandwidth for p2p when some WAN apps like payroll (yeah...sql*net over the WAN - there's a good idea.) were not getting the time they needed.
Before Kazaa morphed into the port-switching thing it is now, blocking port 1214 showed a hug dropoff in traffic. Now all the p2p is limited, and everyone (except the leaches) are happy now.
This can help for home users as well. I mean single users, not people sharing their networks with a roommate.
Using this, you could allow some p2p type of app running in the background, but limit it to x% of your bandwidth, or make sure it always has the lowest priority, so interactive/web/whatever is always snappy.
I'll be interested to see how much of a run-for-the money this'll give Packeteer.
I work for the state, and there are multiple levels of bueracracy. If I moved offices, then I have to pay about $40 to another state agency come out and move the pairs to ring in another office. (Actually we move our own pairs, but for other departments that's how it works - keeps than from moving every other day.)
VoIP, you would just need to go in and tell it to have the number ring over there instead of here.
Not to mention not having to wait 2 weeks for this crap to actually get done - and the costs savings for ditching all the lines and basically becoming a PBX.
Actually saw a demo where a guy brought some VoIP stuff to a conference, plugged it into the network their and whammo - his phone was now ringing in that room, not 100 miles away back at the office. Pretty cool.
With fiber, however, who is prohibiting some other company from laying fiber just like Verizon?
Your local corrupt city council, who has been greased quite well by Verizon (or whoever) to somehow assure that the needed permits for company #2 never get issued.
So the slightly smarter criminal element will then find a car like theirs to copy the tag from.
I have a green minivan - there are three in my neighboorhood that I could use. I also have a silver Nissan - I see tons of those out there. (of course, mine does have the distinguishing dirt:)
Gee....look at the landslide coming down the hill, or that microsoft powered car that now won't go SLOWER than 55. Well, I can just speed up a little to avoid a catastrophe...oh wait...no I can't.
So if I was to have taken SCO's code, put it in Linux with a GPL header and sent it out, because I am not the original copyright holder, I have no right to do that (assign a different copyright). Make sense.
But what if I am the copyright holder (SCO) and I take a file and distribute it. It has my code and a copyright on it. While I did not put the copyright on there, I (either intentionally or via negligance) decided to distribute my copyrighted material with that preable on it.
If that does not bless and make it official, then what is to stop people from retroactivly changing a copyright and saying the other release was not authorized or who knows what excuse?
What criteria would a store owner use to decide what is good vs evil law enforcement?
How about any mid-80's game with us vs the USSR? Sure, they were commies at the time and therefore evil - but what about now? They must be somewhat good because there are lots of people in Russia who'd like to return to the former rule.
What about the dictator in Tropico?
What about the Braveheart game? Technically Wallace was the outlaw and the british regulars under Longshanks are the good guys - c'mon they guy basically invented parliment - he must be a good guy.
I understand where you're coming from - but things like this need to be cut and dry, not open to interpretation, otherwise you'll see Best Buy using it to squeeze out competition (see..that mom and pop store sold that Mario game to a 13 year old - obviously the turtles are the Goomba's, which are the authority.)
On the times/42 thing...that is quite a hike...but for some reason I remember reading once that there was actually supposed to be another station in there, but it never happened (you may be able to find more in forgotten-ny.com) I could be wrong - it wouldn't be the first time.
My friend living there had a "kitchen", which was a sink, a stove and a couple cabinets. His fridge was a small fridge like one you'd have in an office. He ate out the majority of the time - thus solving the grocery issue - paying about $1200 a month for something about twice the size of my kids bedroom. I don't know how families live there.
As for Atlanta, my dad has a book about Atlanta from the early 60's, when 75 was just a few lanes, not the 12+ lane thing it is now...and it was still bumper to bumper traffic. MARTA sucks - it goes 4 ways and that is about it. Sure, you have the bus lines, but I hate busses so I just consider the rail lines. It works fine if you are going to one of the places that the train goes, but if not, it may as well not exist.
Then again, I hardly get anywhere near Atlanta any more...moved way out to the outskirts...airport is about as close as I get now. I'd rather travel across the country for training than go to something being held downtown for a week.
I guess they'll have to strap a subwoofer to their ass so they can still walk down the street and annoy people with their lack of respect for others.
Feel sad for all the weenies that think that a honda looks so much better with fins, spoilers, stickers, neon etc...but I guess that's what body mods are for.
Instead of getting the person who is doing wrong, they are coming near to threatening people doing nothing wrong (other than being ignorant).
I should be able to put a server on the net with weak passwords, and open relay and an anonymous ftp without worrying about hackers, spammers and leechers. (Well...again, that would be dumb, but I'm not doing anything wrong.)
What's next with this kinda legislation??? You are warned that you can be held responsiable if you walk down the wrong street and get mugged? You don't have your wallet on a chain in a zipped pocket - well, it's your own damn fault you got pickpocketed. Telemarketter calls and you're on a don't call list, well, it's your fault for being at home and having the ringer on.

Oxford Books Too (a now gone used book store) in Atlanta had this back in 93/94. You could have them put you on a waiting list for something you were interested in, and when it came in, they called you.

Wouldn't that be "according to the license." ?

Either way - it's still abuse like you said.
I though radio signals were just light in another wavelength...so first light holds...of course this also means that Puerto Rico will be covered with clouds (or something to block the radio wavelengths :)
The first p2p that SSL encodes everything will also break this. Then it'll all look like noise.
15G is probably just the 45Mbit - if not you got a better deal than me. :)

Of course, not BitTorrent and DC are on the rise.

Like the article says - nothing is absolute.
Yeah...that is way wrong moderated - I was going for funny.

But based on your description of what would happen, it sounds like I just created a new peer-to-peer network instead
ifconfig lan0 (ip) netmask 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255

Does that make Taco Bell a circumvention device? :)
Could be wrong on the year. Or it may have been 41 - either way, it was packed.
