Why would you be "neighborly" though? Your network traffic would be in an openly sniffable situation.
The "theft of service" doesn't directly hurt you, but it is the kind of thing that makes rolling out improved internet service less worthwhile because that bandwidth is expensive.
I can get this with Yahoo Yellow Pages. I enter my ZIP for a location, and business name for destination. It brings up a list of businesses, and I can follow a link for maps, follow yet another link for directions.
I don't think it is so simple. For one, children don't simply become adults overnight. Many societies have several different ages of adulthood, for age of consent, marriage, driving, voting drinking, etc., that somewhat reflects this.
I know this probably isn't in any legal definition of adulthood, but I believe the punishment should reflect whether the person had a reasonable chance of understanding the consequences of their actions. I really don't believe for a minute that a person that writes a worm doesn't understand the potential implications of the action.
I had it with my nVidia Quadro drivers for Windows 2000.
Like a lot of Windows eye-candy, I had problems with it subtly slowing the user interface responsiveness, at least the motion and response was a bit clunky, so I shut it off.
Slightly translucent drop-down menus isn't why I use OS X. Eye candy by itself isn't why I use OS X. It really doesn't matter to me if that feature is there, as long as it doesn't slow down the user interface.
I really don't see that as necessarily the cause. I mean, how hard is it to communicate "A is faster and better than B"?
I think it is more likely that the PHBs simply don't trust their resident techs, or have prejudices that prevent them from accepting this sort of thing.
Most of the characters are plausible if you pay attention to their history, from very broken homes, orphaned, abandoned, betrayed and being mind-raped by the angels and Evas.
I would consider Eva relevant in the fact that it was one of the earliest popular post-modern anime, which is why no one understand it, because there is no single meaning that can be derived from it.
Not that I think it is appropriate for Cartoon Network's "rather censor than be controvercial".
I think it's funny that this group spouts their theories as a certainty only a couple days before the mission to discover what it really is. If they kept their mouths shut and relied on older material, their predictions would just fade with memory if proven wrong. If they were proven right, then they can yell about it.
I am curious why states had any copyright jurisdiction at all. I thought, in the constitution, the Federal government handles copyright matters, and as such authority in regulating privately owned copyrights were not delegated to the states.
It's just a shame that the only way we can get people out into space seems to be with 1960s technology rather than 2000s. At least, under the current government-funded model.
Part of that is that the "older" aerospace technology is often so close to optimal that only tiny tweaks are needed to get improvements, and that massive changes are often far more costly than they get in return. This is especially the case with aircraft, and I am not surprised that it may be the case with spacecraft too.
In reality, the basis for many designs and manufacturing technologies in use now hasn't changed much from their early inception. The mechanicals of current standard CNC milling machines aren't fundementally different from that of Eli Whitney's invention. Heavily improved, yes, but the fundemental concepts remain the same.
If someone continues well past their prime, they end up damaging the good they did in the past.
Maybe John Katz did some good with his Columbine-related stories, he undid himself simply by being too verbose and too prolific with less and less relevant or worthwhile tangents.
I agree. I personally prefer the "copyleft" that helps ensure that whatever work I contribute doesn't get co-opted and "extended" without that extension also being put out to potentially further the public good.
That isn't to say that there isn't a place for BSD-like licences. Each OSS project manager should decide for themselves what benefits and drawbacks they want.
None, since the common legal perception among the translators is that it is illegal to redistribute the fan-subbed version if the DVD [or any other form of retail] is available in the language. Unlike the standard pirate, most translators adhere to the law.
That legal perception is wrong. Fansubbing is illegal. A copyright in one country also exists in most other countries because of this little treaty known as the Berne convention.
Through the same treaty, derivative products, such as translations, even separate read-along text translations for watching raw anime, are also technically infringing on the original copyright. Berne provides a means which a copyright owner in one country has legal standing to prosecute infringers in other countries, regardless of whether there is a licencee in the other countries.
The "fansub ethic" you state was something made many years ago to not canibalize the sales of the legitimate licenced products.
Japanese companies often don't try to track these groups down simply because it often isn't worth their time, but Media Factory did do some.
Finding english fansubs of popular work [the article's 1% released in the US] is near impossible.
Unless you look on a P2P network? After that, people can just "trade" rips of the licenced product.
There are many anime TV series available and coming out at an astonishingly low price, some are competitive with even the least expensive American TV series on DVD, 24-26 episodes on a licenced DVD set for $30 or less street price. These are basically "reprices" or repackages.
What pays for the licence is the first round of single discs, once they get what they think they can, often they are released to a complete box.
Also, you need not pay SRP. If you shop around, you can get DVDs to your door for 40% off SRP.
In short, it pays to shop around a bit.
I do think that $0.50 an episode is being pretty stingy. While more than nothing, all it really shows is that the series that you say you like have effectively no value at all, at that price, it would probably require tens of millions of watchers to pay for the production, and it wouldn't pay for a quality production.
"Uploading" doesn't help pay for the production of the content you like either.
If it weren't for fansubs, much of the commercial direct-to-video business wouldn't exist. Broadcast is too limited, even the cable & satellite channels that get it seem to want to dumb down anime.
That said, many people do seem to use fansubs as a crutch such that it does not support the creation of what they watch.
Part of the problem with "real" crime is that criminals are not always dumb enough to leave enough clues to say who did the deed. Short of a massive tracking network of an Orwellian scale, most crimes will go unsolved, and even then, a lot of it will still go unsolved.
If a CEO embraced a plan to cull 12% of the company's existing customer base in one fell swoop, the board would having him packing his office into boxes the next day.
But the CEO would actually win if he said that the worst 12% of their customer base would be gone, you just need to cast them as "problem" customers.
I would not consider Home Theater Magazine to be an impartial source. Heck, I read an editor response in a similar publication, Widescreen Review, and they sneered at the concept of an anamorphic-capable 4:3 display. Despite giving a larger widescreen image for a lower cost than a "true" widescreen display of the same quality, it was downplayed as a bad idea.
I think it is annoying that Motorola is doing this. They do this so they can trademark a name, trademarking dictionary words, even in association with very strict product definitions, is becoming harder to do and harder to defend.
But with the irritating naming scheme (IMO worse than iProductname), and my experiences with Motorola phones, I will avoid this product, at least for the time being. The Motorolas I have seen/borrowed/used in the last several years had poor reception, bad sound quality, horrible battery life and fragility. In contrast, my Sanyo from Sprint "just works".
I think Apple should make an iPod video. Even if the market isn't huge. PSP video discs are surprising everyone's wildest expectations. The best argument against it, IMO is the copyright issues, to get the content people want on such a device, generally requires software that is against the copy protection circumvention laws.
And yes, I don't think the current tiny screen would work well, which I'd suggest using the 320x480 screens used on some Palms, T5, and the Tapwave, because those screens are beautiful and don't require a needlessly large device package.
A player that can decode high definition video should be able to run Java software with incredible speed. Keep in mind that a CPU to handle menus doesn't need to be that powerful.
I think it would be irresponsible to place all your bets in short term solutions, just as it would be irresponsible to place all your bets in long term solutions.
There are known side-effects of fusion though.
Fusion does involve a lot of waste heat, and the not-well-known fact is that fusion is slightly radioactive.
All forms of energy have negative ecological impacts, but I think Greenpeace should pick their battles better.
I agree. Failure to follow contracts is failure to follow contracts, and is against civil law. Even if PJ is being greedy, NewLine is being greedier.
I don't think you can rebuild Baghdad with $200M though, unless you mean NOT using American contractors which get a significant hazard pay before they'd consider it. $200M might do it if you used the local labor.
Silicon is very common on earth, 27.7%. The issue is that a lot of processing is required to get it. IIRC, the amount of energy needed to make a solar cell is in the same order as the amount that it absorbs from the sun. It might be different from cells used on satellites, without the filtering of Earth's atmosphere. Then there's the issue that silicon processing uses a lot of water and also some nasty chemicals, etchants and so on.
The Penguin Classics are only about 6" tall, so it would be about 500 or soo feet if you stacked it that way. Whenever I stack anything, I try to stack it smallest dimension vertical, largest dimension vertical is retarded, esp. for books.
In my interpretation, it would not stack to be 100' tall, maybe 75' given that most of the Penguin classic books aren't an inch thick.
It's not even that great of a deal either, IMO, just barely under $8 a book for stuff that's mostly or all out of copyright anyway. I can pick and choose the books I want for $8 a book. For such a huge bundle, I'd want a steep discount, $4 a book max. Amazon seems to have a tendency to have "deals" like "get this combo of two $5 items for $10!", in short no savings, just promoting two similar items for their combined price at no savings.

My questions are in relation to the public distributed computing projects.
Who pays for that extra electricity? What if the program was poorly written and destabilizes the computer?
Few to none of the distributed computing projects don't factor this in. It's a nice way of cost-shifting, I think.
I think it is a good way for an organization to make better use of their computers though, I really don't want any part of it.
