I thought 10K filings are supposed to have that type of information, on the forseeable risks. I don't care what sort of PR bravado a company has, a 10K filing is not the place to pretend you are guaranteed a win everything.
Apple is great with their warranty if you by AppleCare and/or you have a local Apple store. For me, the reps had replaced or offered to replace the iPod even if the likelyhood is the iPod isn't the culrpit in a problem. I had mine replaced and it really did turn out something else was wrong, much to my chagrin.
If you don't have AppleCare or aren't near an Apple store, then it's not quite as nice, but still usually pretty good.
As for proof of purchase, keep your accounts in order. A CD, piece of paper or nice pretty hologram doesn't mean jack. They want receipts or invoices. That is all that matters. An invoice from Adobe, Software Spectrum or Ebuyer (for example) is what licenses you, not the product key on the side of the jewel case. That product key is the enabler not the license.
If you hadn't noticed, the receipt is not a license either. It might be considered a proof of purchase.
I don't see how having a receipt or invoice can help if they think someone can have counterfeit CDs, product boxes or holograms. It's easier to forge a receipt or invoice.
I think this is a very weird situation. It's not as if Dell demands to go through a random business to make sure that every one of the computers in the business is a genuine and paid-for Dell. Other than software, I can't think of any other asset like that were an audit is needed to prove to the seller that it's all legit.
I don't condone copyright infringement. Now that's out of the way:
The problem is that it sounds as if BSA has near-police powers, which is going too far.
I am also curious if it would backfire. I remember the story a while back where a business got hit with a stiff fine and heavy legal fees. They paid up and simply switched to open source software after that. Commercial software makers would never get another dime from that business beyond the settlement.
Missle interceptors have a shaky history though. It is very, very hard. Even Ronald Regan acknowledged that it would be very difficult and possibly take several decades to get right. So far, it's been a boondoggle.
The initial euphoria over the Patriot missle system wasn't backed up by anything that showed it to be worthwhile, most analyses showed it to not have much benefit, I think many showed it caused more problems than it solved because the fragments of the SCUD + Patriot was worse than the damage that the SCUD alone would have caused.
Isreal and the US are also working on various laser systems, which I think may be better.
Korea's big rocket was a big dud, and if Korea's nuke was real, it was a near-dud as well.
You didn't need the article, your response is very good because it was an overly predictable rant. Frankly, the "essay" is just an "I want a pony" opinion fest. I really don't think the ranter is being realistic. For one, it costs money to run those networks and make original shows. I don't think the cable bills could pay for that. They could shrink the channel line-up significantly. You might think that's good, but I would expect that the channels that slashdotters like would be among the first to be axed.
Part of the reason that cable is so cheap per episode is that the advertising covers the costs of making and transmitting the video. The networks barely get any money from a cable subscriber unless it is HBO or the movie channels.
I think you have a good point about other architectures. The problem with your post is, I have never had any problem with the reliability of Intel-based systems, even when running Windows, and even running dual Xeon systems running Netburst chips, my computers have been running cool and quietly. That, and Intel isn't necessarily about the highest clock anymore. I don't know if you've noticed, but they aren't promoting Netburst anymore either.
Check the subject line. Clovertown and Barcelona are codenames for CPUs, not chipsets. "Chipset" is used to refer to the chips used to support the CPU, not the CPU itself.
I think the overclockability is in part due to the fact that Intel likes to have generous safety margins. It might also be that going beyond a certain level goes above their power consumption rating. Increasing the clock would mean reducing those margins.
I think it's funny-odd that the most progressive sect of a religion at a given time gets the bad rap. Anything the Puritans did, the groups that remained in the old world did far, far worse and far more often. I'm not justifying it, but they were relatively sensible in comparison.
I've never seen anything that would suggest that all porn sites would be forced to use XXX or abandon their old sites. I have't seen any domain that people were required to use or to not use.
The weird thing about this is that both porn sites and many religious/family organizations are against XXX as being against their interest for reasons listed in this thread.
BTW: it's not that hard to change your company name. I think it's dumb to have.com or whatever in the business name though.
A paper describing the hardware revocation used to be findable for keywords "AACS player revocation". You don't brick entire brands, just single models, and it's easily possible to do that with the new method. The graphical description looks kind of like a binary search tree.
My vote would be the underside. First, there are no shots of the underside. Take a look at the pictures and see how far off the table the board sits? There is something sustantial under there.
The thing is that tiny x86 boards (or boards of any arch) have a very small market. The people that don't care about size would just buy the cheapest board, which is usually the largest volume board anyway. I think VIA is targeting the custom embedded systems market, though their hardware reliability reputation is not good so it's not a good fit for the task.
I think the price is a good thing though, it keeps the price-shoppers away from this garbage.
Because it will be harder for Abu Mohammed to fake.
So what? Enough with the FUD. I do not count the spectre of terrorism to be a valid reason, nor do I see this tiny bit of security a justification for the feds to violate the constitution again.
I don't want to be callous, but frankly, people are far too worried about terrorism. If you take a list of what causes people to die and how many people actually die from it, terrorism is waaaaay down the list. I think you are probably more likely to drown in a 12oz glass of fruit juice than you are to die in a terrorist act.
The "9/11" terrorists could have been caught without PATRIOT, without mandatory ID requirements or any of the other shenanigans. That incident happened because dozens of agencies simply dropped the ball. Nothing has been done since that actually fixes the problem to the slightest degree. They are all actions done under the guise of fixing them but are simply misdirections to make people think something is being done.
I've been exposed to it and understood it very well, though I've never owned an HP. There was a section of some American Computer Science League tests that use it. I think one programming assignment was to make a program that can convert between infix postfix and prefix. I thought it was interesting, but it didn't seem like the the epiphany that HP owners seem to claim it is.
I knew a few people that had HPs. I just didn't see it as worth my time or the extra money. I have a TI-82 that's seen heavy use for a decade, so it doesn't seem like durability is an issue.

In short, nothing to see here, move along.

I don't remember MAD arms race with China. The closest was a conventional war through intermediaries in Korea.
But you make a good point there because a lot of the violence that gets noticed now is very much the kamikaze type.

Forget expensive OS, try expensive hardware. OOo is the slowest Office Suite that I've used anyway. Not slow enough to justify MS Office but still.
Supporting Windows makes sense as it lowers the barriers to migrating the OS too.
DVD Jon lives in the US now so maybe they've been "brain drained".

Maybe the movie DVDs are starting that now, but I have not watched any TV series DVDs that have that.

No, not entire classes. Single players can be revoked, and other players of the same model won't be.
You don't brick entire brands, just single models, and it's easily possible to do that with the new method

I thought that phones in Europe weren't locked into a certain carrier.
But anyway, I'd like to see Microsoft forced to support non-Microsoft operating systems with their DRM, be it Palm, Mac OS, etc.

There is just something fundamentally appealing to owning a powerful calculator 90% of the population can't even add two numbers on...
For that, it probably only needs to be called a "calculator". No need for branding.
Non-profits have to get money from somewhere to continue operating. If they don't get that money, then they will cease to operate after a while.
