Sir, that is not correct. You do not appear to have a solid grasp on the concepts of uploading and downloading data.
If you have data on your machine, and you are sending it to a remote location that is called uploading.
If data is coming from a remote machine into your computer, that process is called downloading.
If one computer makes content available for another computer to pull in, the content originator is the uploader and the content consumer is called the downloader.
Hopefully this corrects your impression that originating content for someone else to retrieve (especially over most common P2P networks) is downloading. If not, please re-read this post until it does.
Let me make it clear here that I'm not on anyone's "side"... but that's just a little too much hearsay for me to pass by.
It violates the reasonable level of privacy that a person expects between them and a corporation.
What person expects privacy between themselves and a corporation these days? Your records are (and always have been) just a warrant/subpoena away.
They are gathering information, and IMO, harming people that were never party to the original action by doing so.
That's a baseless accusation... there is no proof of any harm going on here.
I can only accept that law enforcement has the rights to conduct investigations in this manner.
Only law enforcement would be capable of forcing the information over should it actually exist. And just quietly... law enforcement shouldn't be conducting investigations by harming people. If they are, that's much worse ju-ju than this.
It just scares me to think that any lawyer can start doing the same.
It appears that you are scared rather easily. Anyone can ask for information, and corporations are free to choose whether or not they will comply. If you get an attorney and the judge agrees you should have the information, it is the judge that has the power here, not the attorney.
At the end of the day so much hot air is still only hot air; but I still thought I'd try to bring some balance to that perspective.
The Sony Ericsson phone you just bought is defective by design. A google search will show up numerous complaints of no/low signal, slow software, and inability to hold a call. Contact Jennifer Atwood (manager of their customer service department) to have it replaced with a functioning model. If you do not get a positive result, you can always email the president of Sony-Ericsson worldwide... he listens and gets things done. Email me and I will send you specific contact details for people at Sony Ericsson who got things done for me... nobody should have to be stuck with the "phone" Sony Ericsson refers to as the T637.
What a wonderfully complete sample... there's no way anyone poke any holes in the conclusions you have reached based on that sample. Congratulations on the fine statistical analysis you have performed...
From the comments you have made so far, you have not made yourself appear knowledgeable on the subject matter. The HTC Touch is a tri-band phone, operating at 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz. 1800MHz is common to Europe and the USA, and so this phone will certainly "bridge the US and EU networks".
Further more... the operating system a phone runs has very little to do with what bands of frequencies its radio operates at. By inferring it does, you are certainly not helping your case in showing even the slightest amount of aptitude for the subject at hand. Suggesting that because it is a Microsoft-powered smart phone that it could not operate in the USA and Europe is trollish at best.
I would suggest that before you wonder something out loud about this again you should at least perform even a minor amount of research.
Murder is only a crime committed against you if you are dead. Dead people can't resent the state. It's just not possible.
You might feel that a crime was committed against you if someone murdered a person you had a close relationship with... but you didn't. The dead person did.
Unless, of course, the person you had that close relationship was legally your property... then by all means please do claim your right to resent the state for ignoring your individual feelings...
Sure. You're free to receive the signal and manipulate that data any way you want. No argument.
And sure, you're free to send any signal out to anywhere, or the original router wouldn't have been free to send out its signal.
The problem comes when you're starting to access said device and use up resources on it. You're manipulating private property (Even if via free to transmit and receive airwaves). And accessing and manipulating private property is not OK. The device has a limited resource by way of processing power and available internet bandwidth, and it is not OK for you to consume those without permission. Period.
The problem I see/have in Win2k that not every application adds itself to PATH
You should take that up with your application vendor... it is certainly possible and easy for them to do so.
So, you must know where each app lives, or create a monstrously huge PATH. Very aggrivating.
What is so annoying about a lengthy path variable?
I'm thinking, though, of apps that presume that you have Administrator rights, and won't function if you are limited.
That problem is still platform independant. No platform dictates that all administrator applications should not function without administrator rights. Likewise, no platform dictates that all administrator applications should function without administrator rights.
Glad to see honest questions. As a linux and windows xp user, here are some honest answers to help you out.
1. Yes (To run the gui admin applications in Windows via Run As, hold down your shift key, then right click the application icon. Run As will appear in the context menu.) 2. No, much like sudo you would specify the app name on the command line when you run RunAs in that manner. 3. No matter what the platform, if you execute an app with elevated privileges and it misbehaves, then Bad Things(tm) can happen.
It's their take on google's "do no evil" mantra. It represents them turning over a new leaf and being honest about things from the start.
And now for your own entertainment:
a: "Dude! You got pWn'd!" b: "Yep, and it only cost $150!" a: "Man. That's awesome. It was only a month and a half ago that I paid $2500 for a pWn'd Server." b: "Yeah, they're charging less and less to get pWn'd every day! I bet soon you can get pWn'd for free, or they might even _pay_ you!"
If they stoped, just imagine... this could be the end of people asking for the end of people saying this is the end of something!
And this is just the beginning.

Drafting GPL3
·
· Score: 1
Bear with me. I'm pretty sure it's worth it.
The GPL is for source code, not documentation. The license is more documentation than source code, even though it is present within the source code.
With this in mind, a more appropriate license would be the FDL. Since it is also authored by the FSF, I think it is reasonable to make the assumption that should the FSF make the GPL available under an F/OSS license, it would choose the FDL.
What would be particularly ironic about this is that the Debian project has publically stated that it will not include anything in the Free version that is licensed under the FDL because they do not believe it complies with their Free Software Guidelines.
Thus, if the FSF did make the GPL F/OS(S) under the FDL, there's a good possibility that DEB would go MIA!
and I'm going to leave it right there... have a nice day =)
Given that you posted in english to a predominately english-reading site, I think it might have been prudent to indicate in your post that your community effort site is not in english.
That said, for anyone reading this comment you still ought to be able to make great use of the tables linked to by molnarc, they contain good information that ought to be legible if you know the kinds of attributes LCD panels are usually measured by.
FYI, if you are having a pallete up on a different monitor from the images you are editing, you will almost always want to ensure that you have accurate color representation on both monitors. This usually means buying two brand new monitors from a reputable manufacturer at the same point in time.
Two caveats: 1) That is not to say that you will not find a color accurate monitor at a garage sale, or a monitor that could not be made color accurate, just that it is less likely. 2) Inaccurate color representation on one monitor (not a dual monitor setup) whilst desirable is at least inaccurate in the same way on both the pallete and the picture, and if you have been using the monitor for any significant period of time there is a good chance you can adjust for it without thinking about it. It is less likely (imho) that you could do that effectively with two monitors that were both innacurately representing your colorspace.
That's the idea. Given enough examples this gibberish and it's counterpart in english, eventually the system could start to 'translate' it. Personally, I'd like to see this used for the reverse. Feed enough random input and english texts for their 'counterparts' and use the service to create a new language.

3D Realms has been doing this for nearly a decade with somewhat impressive results.
A lot of us were talented kids, even with obvious problems. We didn't all go and do illegal things, did we?
Being talented is not a "get out of jail free" card. The law should apply evenly to the talented, and the untalented.
If anything, being talented would infer more likely intent, and aggravate the charges. After all, he's talented, so he should have known better.

True enough, however the Sony link is still definitive... GT is still a game.
Cite your source... mine says they are. That's why they're called Simulation Games, and not just Simulations (although the genre is mentioned in simulations, but as a video game)
And in case you're not a wikipedia fan... Sony thinks of Gran Tourismo as a game too..
Time to call it quits, don't you think?
Sure. You're free to receive the signal and manipulate that data any way you want. No argument.
