Well...these "intermediate" guys are close to extinction...they got as much as they could from artists, musicians, movies.....and now the consumer downloads the music or movie almost from the source. No more need of packaging, logistics, marketing, etc....(and also, they always " triple priced " everything between their own companies to wash some $, of course)
So now they are begging for some change, because "the people is downloading music or movies".
The real problem is when people in the Govt is "tempted", for example, with trips to Whistler or Mt Tremblant for all the family, in a fancy shmancy place, with a fireplace and 2 snowmobiles parked in the garage, free access to private hockey booth (10k/year) to watch a couple of matches, or any pseudo bribery method....On the other hand, teachers are on strike (BC) and the public health care system is starting to collapse....
Check how "fair" they play with the people who's feeding them!

Canada....I still have hope on us.
I prefer to vote projects than parties. The political/judicial/exec system is a huge Ponzi scheme, where the taxpayer has to pay and the politicians and friends collect the monies.
You should share it with "la familia"....otherwise, you will be prosecuted...
Check out the guys who stole billions from investors in Wall Street....they share some the profit with the "authorities", and now they walk free....
So, the lesson is.....are you with "us" or a "terrorist for the system"?
Research is basically about failure, not success. Banging the head against the wall...
Is like walking blindfolded into a theoretical barn, looking for THE needle.
There is no 100% successful researcher. That's BS.
I think "Forcing" to publish goes against serious research.
IT is just like a car....you can run for a while...until you need gas. No gas, no energy to move the car. Pushing the car is against the purpose of the car.
- Establish a plan with milestones and goals. Offer alternatives. Use open source. If somebody insist in $0 budget, ask him/her advice in how to do that and if he/she want to join you to make it happen. I don't know how to run a car with an empty tank with no gas.
I've used LTSP once and it's cool to boot a class of 40 diskless PCs with PXE. Using a 100 Mbps network, they even boot much faster than any MS product. A little tricky for the graphic config. http://www.ltsp.org/
I have never received anything from Megaupload encouraging piracy. They provide a service to upload/download files, so they are not responsible of the use of it.
500M in lost revenues? Seriously? These guys? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting
They "cook" all the numbers....the 500M are "legal charges" and "administration fees"....not revenue.
Oh!..let's do the following exercise:
These lawyers say they lost 500M (in the last year? ) in revenues because megaupload is sharing freely their material.
Ok. Let's keep megaupload down for a year.
If they don't earn that money back, that means they were bluffing the number...so Megaupload is online again and they pay 10 times that number to the megaupload guys as "lost revenues". I think is a good deal. Right?
The sad story is, if Megaupload guys sue back to the US feds, then the bail/fine/whatever will be pay using taxpayers money.
From a higher perspective, that means if a tool is used by some individuals to commit a crime, then the tool must be shut down. Using the same logic, all weapons in USA should be destroyed!!!! Not only they may be used to commit crimes, they also kill people, which is much more serious!!!
Of course they will comply, but in order to proceed, 3 forms should be filled and approved by the king, then those forms should be legalised using a designated public notary (he's on vacation right now, until..well..we don't know....), and then those forms must be taken to the SOPA office, any Monday from 1 pm to 2 pm, only when it rains.
I live in Canada. I bought an unlocked phone and I have a pay-as-you-go plan.
The only complain about this system is the "steal" of the leftover money in my account. When I put $10 in it, it last for 30 days.
If I had some unused credit in my balance, it "magically" disappears....I thought this was "stealing".....
Nothing new under the sun. "living on the moon" execs are enjoying the new yatch, while workers are trying to keep up with mortgages and food.
It happens in every institution, starting from Govt, public and private companies....
BTW, the Ark B is ready to go...
As Mr. A.E. use to say, "Imagination is more important than knowledge".
How come a 17 y.o. person reaches this point in cancer research?
From the dark side of my mind: Probably the "official" research, sponsored by labs,is more focused in creating drugs to sell to increase their income, than to effectively cure it. A cured person will not be a customer anymore....
If any commercial 7" tablet fits your needs, check some brands/models out there and create a custom version of Android + your app.
If it doesn't (probably not rugged enough, or the touch screen not bulletproof....) get them, strip them and modify them. If you are planning to sell more than 100k units and you have enough $, get serious, contact a factory and ask for some redesign for you.
In both cases, you can use a stripped android + your app.
OR you can start with something like this:

I argee....if WL wanted to be "neutral", they should have just published all the info without any kind of "warning". The "warning" lead to negotiation, and negotiation leads to cash and a nice house in the Bahamas....just what WL is against...
So this guys want to keep the sand out of our expensive equipment...
It's a pitty I've sold my old 35mm....the film roll/developing/copying market should kick up!

Politicians + corps know how to cause harm to all the population with monopolistic practices, bribes, inflation, etc....They should be arrested !

With enough brib^H^H^H^H campaign funds, the politicians will pass any law.
Everything is done in order to maximise the earnings of the administrators, leaving nothing to the real workers. Check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting

Not so long ago a guy was tortured and killed because he plotted to act against the "state". This is just another 5th of November...
