PPC doesn't power BMW's braking, engine, etc. systems, but if you get the fancy map/telematics packages, I know at least some of them do use Motorola embedded PPC processors.
On the other hand, those backroom deals usually save them a *lot* of money over retail.
For instance, my old University (Michigan) had a site license deal with MS. I don't know what they paid for it, but I know it was less per seat than the price they would allow students and alums to purchase a copy at ($36 per copy). So, minimum 66% discount, and probably significantly better.
Don't knock the backroom deals; they're keeping your tuition from growing even faster than it already is.
The standard meaning of "delete" on a Mac would be "move to trash". This is because, by default, selecting a file and "apple-delete"ing it moves it to the trash, it doesn't permanently remove it.
However, rm doesn't have the intermediate trash step, which might confuse Mac users who rm something expecting it to land in the trash.
Is it? Odd, then, that everything I found, including news articles on the event, claim that Ravenswood has an ER and provides ER services.
That said, the issue (after doing some actual reading on it) was that emergency room workers refused to leave the hospital building to bring him into the ER. In addition, Ravenswood does lack a severe trauma center, which is what gunshot wounds generally require; the nearest trauma center is about 2 miles away from Ravenswood. However, when a police officer finally got sick of waiting for the ambulance to show, and dragged Sercye inside, he got treatment. It didn't do any good, since he basically would have needed emergency repairs to his aorta, and Ravenswood wasn't capable of that.
What they did was TOTALLY illegal. In the US, a hospital may not refuse emergency treatment. That is the law.
In the second case, it isn't illegal, because the law states: *emergency* visits. Clinic visits are not ER visits. The hospital did nothing illegal (did they do something wrong... well, I think they should have at least given her information on low-income health care options, but I can't blame them entirely).
I'm fairly sure that OnStar is slightly profitable for the manufacturer of the modules. I have no idea if OnStar/GM is making any money off of it.
I also have no idea if Freescale is going to go after automotive business full-on once they seperate from Motorola; part of the problem for them has been that a lot of potential customers don't like buying from them, since they're the same company as one of their competitors (Motorola's automotive group). Motorola automotive gets the same problem, the other way; they're heavily encouraged to use Motorola chips, which makes it hard to even get bids from outside suppliers.
Then again, the HC series micros are still great for doing control, as are the various Motorola DSPs, so even if PPC remains a non-automotive line for them, Freescale will do okay in automotive for the foreseeable future, I think.
Nah, Chicago. If my laptop's battery wasn't trashed, I'd bring it along for the ride, but it won't even last an hour anymore.:(
Walk to el (15 minutes.) El to Metra (commuter rail) (15 minutes). Metra to collar county station (25 minutes). Shuttle from station to work (45 minutes!!!!)
There's something really wrong with that, somehow...
Battery life has been the death knell for more than one portable device; looking at the PSP (bigger screen, optical drive), I can't imagine it being both light and long-lived, whereas Nintendo has pretty much proved they can pull it off with the SP.
There are a few automotive systems that use PPC, but for the most part that's only in the telematics side (OnStar and the like) - I see a ton of HCs, even some 68k stuff.
Excessively cheap - too true. The excitement people have towards saving a penny per board scares me some times. I understand it, but it scares me.
It's E3 time, so its about the right time for Nintendo to begin release of spec/photos.
Also, the article, according to The Register, was Nintendo-approved.
I suspect that this (mainstream news source, right time for announcements, all indications saying that its Nintendo-sanctioned release) is what the GBDS will look like, and its a roughly accurate spec sheet as well.
I really did try, because I think there are some interesting legal issues here. But you're so set on your own interpretation, that ALL copies are infringing, that you're not even interested in listening to the possibility that the courts have decided otherwise.
Some interesting sections might include USC17.11.1101 (note: still illegal if fixation occurs outside of US), USC17.11.115 (note the distinction between incidental copies and non-incidental, and the distinction between delivery of a full copy and a listenable, but not keepable, datastream), USC17.1.117,
The thing you really miss, though, is that all of these laws say "without permission of the copyright holder". The problem is that the theory of operation for the Russian site is that they have permission from the Russian copyright holder to do all of these things, and the problem reduces again to "Does US copyright law apply, or Russian, when a legal (in Russia) recording is transferred to the US?" None of your case law has anything to do with this question. However, USC17.6.602 would suggest that importation for personal use of something legally made elsewhere is legal.
Then again, USC17.11.1101 would suggest that US law wouldn't consider the Russian version to be necessarily legal.
You see why I said there's interesting claims for both sides? I'm done with this.
Ephemeral copies in transitory communications. Exempt.
Happy? That is where the law is going. I told you to read the fucking laws.
I told you Alice and Bob was different. In Alice and Bob, a new copy of the work is being produced. In a network transmission, a new copy is not being produced (according to DMCA II-512) so long as the ephemeral copy transmitted is removed.
Allofmp3 has the right to produce a copy in Russia. Which they may or may not, but is not at stake here. They create this copy. They may then LEGALLY send you that copy via the 512 exemption, because according to 512, you are not producing a new copy, you are legally receiving a copy already made.
While I agree that you are 'making copies' to receive the file, the reproduction right is quite frankly an obviously Russian issue; all reproduction in a possibly infringing sense happens on their servers, and all subsequent transmission is covered by the transmission exemptions.
1: No, for me it's almost 20 months, because its 3 bucks here.
2: If they did, I'd consider it. They don't, that I've seen, here.
3: Their service was decent when I was in Michigan. The horror stories I can tell about their service in Chicago, however, are not decent. Specifically, I have been straight-out *lied* to by service personnel both over the phone and in person. Yet, I'm giving them another chance now (and they've already screwed up the install, canceled an appointment without telling me, and caused me to waste 2 hours on the phone trying to figure out how to register the modem during the 5 hours it worked; hint, *.attbi.com is *not* a valid network address for most OSes).
4: Damn straight. I had SBCDSL for all of last winter, and I did not miss Chicago traffic on snowy days at ALL.
I'm sure someone here will post about one of the lucky few localities with cable competition. The prices are lower, the house calls are faster, etc. And I seriously doubt they would get away with spying on their customers' home networks.
I live in a competitive location, and the service is worse than when I lived in a monopolized area.
You save 4 bucks a month, but how much did the modem cost?
I looked at it and realized that, given a 55 dollar modem (Motorola SB bought on employee discount), it would take me about 20 months to recoup my outlay, and if it breaks, Comcast can say "Oh well, too bad". I pay 3 bucks a month locally for modem rental, and its their modem; it breaks, they give me a new one. Considering that I may not even have cable in a year, due to their crappy-ass service, ain't necessarily worth it.
DOCSIS. Thus, you can use a non-integrated cable modem if you don't want them to have that kind of control. There are all kinds of issues with them banning customer-owned equipment from their network, some of them (I believe) legal, so its unlikely that a savvy user can't ignore this.
On the other hand, some people are gonna get screwed. Then again, they usually do.

Boucher is a Democrat.
A damn good one, one who more than makes up for the sad excuses like Zell Miller and Fritz Hollings.

Its a real hospital, do some reading.
There's a reason that Ravenswood is getting sued.

PD:DS would be nice, true, but I'm more excited for CRPGs and turn-based things.
Hell, a port of Civilization to this thing would be enough to fill up several months worth of hour-long train commutes.
b is power-hungry, far more so than bluetooth.

Considering Rare got bought by Microsoft, I'm guessing no.
The picture is labeled by USA Today as being courtesy of Nintendo. I.E. The photograph was taken and provided by Nintendo.
Major news organizations do not generally give photo credits to external sources unless they have to.
Thus, I think its safe to say that the photo and information are legit releases from Nintendo.
There are a few automotive systems that use PPC, but for the most part that's only in the telematics side (OnStar and the like) - I see a ton of HCs, even some 68k stuff.

I love GTA:VC and all, but I'll take Metroid Prime over 99.99% of the PS2 games in existence any day.
Kiddie or not, if a game is good, a game is good.

A slot for DS cards, and a slot for GBA carts. Backwards compatible.
I take the train to work. Door to door, it takes me about 1:30. Of that, 15 minutes is walking to the train station.
I got *plenty* of time for games.
I don't watch TV. They make DVDs out of any show worth watching sooner or later these days.
You know?

I had great service from them in SE Michigan, don't get me wrong, but my Chicago experience has been ridiculous.
Still, I want to watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and I don't need a landline, so...
