Well, how many MCSE's on paper equal one person who has actually done the stuff?
We have an exchange server - one person managers it along with tons of other stuff. It pretty much runs itself. We just moved to Ex2k, but were on Ex5.5 for quite a while - I can think of only one time it crashed and that most likely had to do with a 3rd party virus scanner intergrated onto the server. Removed that and no more problems.
Yeah...but I'm sure most of these companies have local feeds to the net. So if on the east coast it is 3am and the rest of the world is awake, that's not gonna matter much if my cable companies T1's are being used by the two out of 1000 people that they service.
So what? The VCR is "legal" based on the fact that it has legitimate uses - so the courts said. It doesn't matter if it has infringing uses if it has legit ones as well.
What about time base correctors you can get at Best Buy? Mostly used to defeat macrovision.
Sorry - but what you propose scares me. Lets ban a legit tool if we can find that more than 50% of its usage is illegal?
And Sears should be held responsiable for all illegal breaking&entering done with a craftsman hammer. And there has already been the Wincherster case. And Buck should be held liable for all knife crimes, and rap for all crimes of insanity, etc...
What's next - RIAA against Berkeley for creating FTP cause they found an FTP mp3 site? RIAA against DARPA for creating the Internet?
Amen brother. We just got a Clear Channel 80's music station. I was psyched at first cause for the first week it was just random 80s stuff. Then came the morning DJ, the Clear Channel ads and all the other ads. I guess I could live with that as I'm only in the car for 40 minutes in the morning.
I can live with the stupid taped DJ's from Texas or wherever pretending they are local, but I can not live with the repetition.
Like you said - 10 whole years, and constant "Come on Eileen", "Relax" (Hey...what ever happened to the other hit by them?) and non-stop Bryan Adams or John Cougar.
With rare exceptions, it seems to be 1980-1985 and that is it. In a way that is good cause you don't really hear much Whitney Houston or Bobby Brown, but you also don't hear the whole hair/glam metal scene from the late 80s either.
I tried college radio - it sucks for the most part. It's either crap on, or too wierd stuff. Though I do have Georgia Tech's WREK programmed in cause every so often some cool stuff does show up - but not much.
Of course, with the CD/MP3 player, not much radio gets played in my car anyway!
I was in a class with a Vietnam Vet. He was in the airforce and was telling me about a dogfight he was in. He was the copilot or whoever is in the second seat. During a real high-g turn he blacked out. After they landed the pilot said "I'm sure glad that you didn't black out during that turn as well."
He fell for it (I think I'll be sending him all sorts of offers now:)
He called Verisign and Register.com and got the domain name sorted out, but Verisign has been giving him the runaround for months about refunding his money (fool sent a check in).
They were even gonna deduct $4 for a processing fee for the refund.
That's what I thought right after I read the article. A small screen would suffice - we're not talking about losing quailty on the graphics:)
You could probably put a few megs of ROM in it and preload it with just about every Atari game out there.
The only problems I see are:
- getting permissions to package the ROM's
- you'd not want to do it the above way because once you sold one, there is no reason for someone to come back and buy more games from you. So that means some sort of media to swap games in and out, which means more cost.
I used to get tons of these. They actually do a lookup for who the IP is registered to, not what it reverse lookups too...so if you get your ISP service from a statewide network, they get the notice.
I stopped getting them (when they were coming from NetPD) after I wrote back claiming a) NetPD was not the copyright holder, b) the DMCA says that it needs to be a signed notification and a couple of other points I found on the net:)
I'd love to find out just how they are harvesting them and cut it off, but it's not gonna be as simple as "deny all from sony.com"
It's not that you want lights on - they are a good thing. It's that the ground is where needs to be lit, but the lights we complain about are the ones that light the ground, but 60% of the light goes elsewhere - mostly up.
Drive past a shopping center on a cloudy night and look how well lit the clouds are. Just what good is that doing?
And even before I was an astronomer fuck I wanted night time to be dark, not this pale it has become.
The thing I remember the most about this was the web slingers. I seem to remember they were big metal boxes on his hand that basically shot rope out.
Looking at some online pics, the boxes are not nearly as big as I remember. (http://www.spidermantvseries.com/Multimedia/Spide yPIC13.jpg) Perhaps they got smaller as the season went on, or like most things from my youth in the 70s, I just am not remembering it at 100%

Yes...AudioGalaxy is out there stealing songs?

And it took a while for 21" monitors, 80GB hard drives, etc... to get out there as well.
It's a start.

There...is that circumvention or violating some copyright now

Well...their bandwidth and servers aren't free, and looks like they'll need more:
modules/ui/mmui.mv: Line 4120: MvDO: Runtime Error: Error opening '/Merchant2/footer.htm': Too many open files in system
That's hilarious.
I can just see tons of messages scrolling across:
Newbie(Battery Farm): Will someone pleaze come rescue me?
I could imagine how ill I would be with my motion sickness :(
I already have one hotmail account and any relation to reality is a mere coincidence!

Oh...like the door on our microwave that causes the 2.4Ghz baby monitor to freak whenever it's run?
:)
Hmmm...is the baby awake? No..the neighboor just turned on their new lights
I can just see it now. Our filings on our third quarter profit, while exagerated 300% is protected by the 1st ammendment.

Would this be a story on here if it was, say, GE lightbulbs, instead of Oracle?
I don't know. When Ep1 came out, one office mate took the day off to wait for tickets. Then all three of us took the day off to go see it.
As much as I think that Ep2 will be much better, I think that if Ep1 was a lot better the figure would be $600m.
Cost the economy??? I don't think so.
Just a pain when you have to sign the form at McD's stating that you will not use the shitter at Burger King
