In true RIAA style... everyone in the court room with a laser pointer, cell phone, or any RF/light source is in some danger.
I doubt very much that the scanner LEDs were flashing.
If passing a simple light across your face triggers an epleptic event, you have a very unusual and problematic situation, since changes in ambient light are basically unavoidable, unless you spend the rest of your life living indoors, in the same room, with lights that never go out....
The Judge his doing his job as set out by the laws. It is not generally within a Judge's responsibilities to simply block or prevent a case going to trial just because some people might feel it is a waste of time in their opinion.
"I think the claims are ridiculous" is not a valid legal reason for denying the person of their right to seek justice under the law.
Basically, this Judge is doing his job properly, and any judge which would deny a case going to trial, simply because someone thinks its ridiculous, is not properly executing the role of a Judge...
The Judge's responsibility is to analyze the claims put forward, and the show of evidence, based on the law, not based on some political opinion of the "proper cases" to come before the courts.
If you have been to Korea, then maybe your point of view about how much sleep the average school student gets on an average night is biased and not objective?
If a person from France came to the US and visited certain colleges during finals week and talked to the students, they might conclude that an hour of sleep a night is a Luxury in the US.
Most of them didn't sleep at all, they were up around the clock studying slurping coffee.
So are you sure they didn't speed up or clip the frames from the video where you stopped before turning, to ensure it looked like there was no stopping?:)
Um, nope. If you are in the intersection when the light turns red, you have run a red light. You're not supposed to enter the intersection if you can see you won't clear it before the light does turn red
You have just flunked deductive logic 101, by failing to account for possible other reasons you might be in an intersection when light turns red other than you entering it when you see you won't clear it.
When did he ever say anything about seeing you won't be able to clear before the light turns red?
There are lots of circumstances where a vehicle enters in a section and they cannot see that they will be unable to clear it before the light turns red.
There are a lot of variables involved in here, such as:
Inability to stop before the intersection, due to vehicle speed and the very short timing of yellow.
Unanticipated events that can happen in the intersection, such as oncoming vehicles blocking path to make a turn.
Either no left turn arrow, or other vehicles intruding upon the intersection, conflicting with safe passage.
Your vehicle, or a vehicle ahead of you stalls or stops in the intersection, beyond your control.
A pedestrian, animal, or other vehicle jumps out onto the road in front of you while crossing the intersection, or the road you are turning into, while you are in the middle of the turn.
If they do, it will be incredibly easy for you to figure out that they have bypassed your restrictions, assuming you also install some monitoring software on their PCs, and you actually review their activities.
I guess 3AMI software probably isn't in your home computing budget, but there is still software you can run, such as IDS software.
Probably if you lock them out you should actually check the firewall logs afterwards to make sure they didn't get around the block somehow.
If they did, it will only make their punishment more severe
to be able to do the following via an simple application/webpage: View client computer status, On/off, sleeping etc.
Sounds like a job for a custom PHP script.
You can determine On/Off by using PING tests.
Detecting sleeping status may be harder... consider using wired network connections and a managed switch with a CLI. Setup the PHP script to poll the switch for up/down status on each child's switch port.
Enable wake on LAN in BIOS resume from suspend. If port is up, but you are not seeing any packets, then it is probably asleep.
Deny internet access, not LAN, just the web
Any firewall can do this.
Schedule time usage of computer, ex. 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on school nights etc.
You can do this with Windows group policy.
"Force logout when login hours expire".
However, this may hurt them if Junior is up working on a report at 10pm due tomorrow.
Doing this has consequences. You may be better off TRACKING when the computer is on, enable Windows messenger, and write a script to automatically warn kids they should log off the computer now.
Use Sysinternal tools in your script such as PKILL, PSEXEC to kill know game processes on the machine, internet explorer, etc.
Force log-out and/or shutdown of clients, for grounding purposes;
Setup a Windows 2008 server, use Windows 7 business clients.
Setup a Windows domain. Give kids accounts on the domain.
Join all client machines to the domain.
If a kid needs to be grounded, lock their account. And use the "shutdown -i" program to send their machine a forced shutdown.
Use group policy to configure all lockdown, including firewall settings and mandatory Windows firewall exceptions (such as your management access).
Apply some kind of firewall filter for blocking undesired web content.
Get a Beefy enough Windows server to run Untangle for Windows.
And as the administrator for this network I would like the following options: Remote virus scanning of client machines, or scheduled task
Just about any Enterprise virus scanner will do.
You configure an administration server, and install clients on each client machine.
Some popular ones are Eset, Trend, Kaspersky, Symantec.
Some kind of hardware monitor, high temp / fan speed low etc.; and Email alerts for various log files / alarms
Uh, these are desktop machines right?
You are going to have to be very choosy about your desktop hardware there, many devices will not even support IPMI or remote monitoring.
If it does, you can probably setup monitoring using standard free tools such as Zabbix or Nagios, though configuration can be a pain.
You may need a Linux machine or virtual machine somewhere to provide this.
There are some commercial monitoring products that are free for a small number of managed nodes, e.g. free versions with limit of 10 hosts.
But the most important thing is your desktops and other equipment actually support collection of that info, provide it over IPMI or CIM, and that Windows WMI providers are able to access the performance/health data.
Given the lists above I am thinking about a Linux based router/server machine and running Windows on the clients for game compatibility.
Hang on... you just said you want detailed management over Windows machines?
You will either have a Windows server and domain first and foremost, or you are going to have a hard time maintaining this.
Almost all the software required to manage Windows clients is Windows based.
A Linux server is great, as long as it has sufficient resources to run some type of Windows server as a virtual machine.
I also know that a server and network boot client is possible but not sure where to start on that one."
That doesn't make any sense... you said you want to run Windows on the clients.
Net booting Windows is complicated; the only thing that
You can setup compatibility mode and run only the game as Administrator, without letting the user login as more than a Power User.
Or use Filemon/Regmon. Figure out what files/registry keys the game needs Administrative control over and grant it only the permissions it needs.
Also, run Windows 7, not XP.
It has some backwards-compatibility features such as registry/file redirection which makes some things that required admin on XP not require admin on 7.
Well, that's my belief also. That text is from the GPL Version 3, which does not apply to the Linux kernel. GPL version 2 applies to the Linux kernel, it is less detailed and less restrictive, it says:
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
Well, you can be made to sign them away, but then it is a GPL violation for the person distributing the software to you, since they "made you sign away rights", they have in effect not granted you those rights. Therefore, they violate the GPL by not distributing under only the terms of the GPL.
The problem is, you won't be communicating the facts about that infringement to anyone, as doing so alone would violate the NDA.
If the author never learns of the breach, they can never take action or seek remedies for the breach, and proving damage would be a bit hard.
Once the company became aware of the NDA violation, they would no doubt pursue action against the recipient of software, and any destroy any evidence if the breach were willful.
Unfortunately, the GPL is not a contract, and noone has to sign the GPL before obtaining software.
It also does not contain terms guaranteeing to release any recipient of GPL software from you from all NDAs with regards to the software.
Well, legally, you have to follow them both, as long as they are both enforceable, unless the NDA specifies the software is not covered, or Intel somehow excludes it from the NDA.
That is impossible, so you can't distribute any part of the software in any way, ever.
But a consequence of that is Intel would have violated the GPL by distributing open source software under an NDA.
Yes, a very clean-cut violation, for the person issuing GPL code under NDA. You are not supposed to be able to do that legally, the GPL is very explicit about that.
Unfortunately, Intel's GPL violation, in that case, would not be directly actionable by you, you lack standing, unless you wrote the open source program. Only the copyright owner of the open source software can take any legal action over copyright infringement.
Oh yeah, and since you wouuld be under a NDA, you are probably not authorized to report any of this to the author, or even the fact that you received the software.
If you do, you may expose yourself to liability. Even if the company was ultimately found to be infringing, the NDA could still be upheld.
And the damages for NDA violation probably exceed the damages for infringement.
Problem with that is Advertising and other things that you get you directed to nasty sites, when in a 'more trusted site' security context.
Your bank probably includes links or items imported inline from other websites.
One of those sites might be less trusted or more prone to attack.
It also does nothing for your compromised Bank A site using XSRF/CSRF techniques against your browser to compromise your details with Bank B in your 'bank security' context.
Yes, but just one person doing it isn't enough.
We need for a significant percentage of Sony customers who bought a PS3 in Europe to do it in order to put a dent in Sony's costs, which probably is not happening.
'Video game violence' isn't as similar to real-life violence.
OTOH, presumably the artificial physical contact generated by the computer is physically close to the real thing (a lot close to the real thing than artificial game violence is to real violence).
No, they promise the ability to run thousands of apps.
For the iPhone they said "there's an app for that", as one of their advertising slogans.
The fact that these apps are only allowed to run if listed and found in the App store is correct, but in the fine print (not part of the marketing message)
I'm not sure, honestly.
I think it may be the mantra of both "the Left"
and "the Right".
Both "the Left" and "the Right" are hypocritical.
And "the Right" is often not right; "the Left" is also often right (and often wrong).
I'm afraid I don't know of any non-hypocritical politician at all though.
It's kind of sad, but does give us a clearer view -- since we can see that Murdoch is obviously a politician, even though he is not in a government office, he is still in a corporate one, and the press is definitely political.
So it should not be too surprising that Murdoch would inherits [negative] qualities that are common of all politicians.
In the C++ world, I believe we would call this a polymorphic type.
The Murdoch variable is declared as a pointer to a CEO, but the memory was actually allocated as a Politician object, so his virtal methods such as 'Mantra()' inherit from the Politician object.

What about kids just making up a number that would make them old enough?
Or taking their own number, modifying the date of birth, and re-computing the check digit.
I doubt the online MMORPG sites can afford to go to great lengths to validate the number.....
But all i'm working with is the small side of a 9v transformer, it should be OK.
Famous last words
As long as they can pick a different 6 hours at any time they want.
Think about it... every child needs sleep, this actually seems reasonable. That should be at least 6 hours a day, as any less is considered unhealthy.
So while it's nanny-state, at least the terms are reasonable, and it's not forced to be the same 6 hours for everyone.
In a free society such as the US, of course, this would be the parents' job, not the government's.

In IPv6, a /64 is just one subnet, so re-assignment information is probably not going to be required.
Policy on that has yet to be hammered out on that through the PDP on the arin-ppml mailing list and at ARIN meetings.
My best guess would be the magic number is going to be something like a /62 for V6
