I thought that Digital Rights Management has a remote authentication system, where a company's remote server and a device exchanges keys and can revoke them. This system appears to be self-contained between printer and cartridge, so it's just a copy protection system.
In order for you to legally redistribute copies someone else's works, you need to have specific legal permission to do so, unless it is known to be public domain (this is not) or fair use (P2P is not). Note, I exclude personal copies or reselling the original CD. It doesn't matter what the sale price of the original work was. If the CD actually says that it's OK to redistribute copies, then no, it's not legal.
Why is it a problem to bar those that committed felonies when they were here illegally? I don't understand why that's a deal breaker. Is the smog getting to you guys?
that same state was stolen by our nation from the very country these people are immigrating from?
I'll invoke a statute of limitations argument. As far as I'm concerned, it's pointless to whine about wrongs that happened over a hundred years ago. There is no person alive today that had anything to do with the misdeeds that you complain about. The water flowed under the bridge and has already flowed into the ocean. Please get over it. I thought history has shown that generations-old grudges does no one any good.
I think amnesty is a misused word here, because the penalties for being here illegally don't go away. Amnesty is total forgiving of debt / crime, but the immigration bill has a very steep fine that I think is impossible to pay on a typical illegal immigrant's wages. In short, I really don't think this illegal immigration bill changes anything other than thicken the law books, so I really don't understand why there's a tug of war on this, except to be a distraction from actually doing anything useful.
It's kind of a shame that certain political groups try to derail it by misusing loaded words. I know this is typical for politics, but it sounds pretty retarted.
Still, I think that probably the entire processor industry is using loadable microcode. A acquantance of mine at AMD said that AMD does it too. Hammering Intel for using a feature that's industry standard is a little unfair.
Now, the only thing left to do, is someone tell Intel that they're selling hardware.
Hardware has had built-in firmware/software for as long as I remember. BIOS is software. Microcode for even consumer CPUs has been done for as long as I remember, Pentium II had it. Apparently, the 8086 had microcode-based instructions.
I wonder who we'll give weapons to this time around and become our next adversary? Bin Laden was a "friend of convenience" in the 80's because the Soviet Union was considered a threat to both the US and Bin Laden. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan because they wanted to break the extremism there. Two decades later, the US is doing what it stopped the Soviet Union from doing.
The main concern I've had is that if someone finds my lost iPod or steals it, copies the files off of it and file shares it. Given the RIAA's propensity of suing people with only circumstantial evidence of file sharing, it's not really a risk I want to take, and I don't want them to find files "linking" me to trading that I didn't do.
Don't get me wrong, I own several Xeon systems, one going as far back as the Slot 2 era. I really enjoy the stability, but the performance wasn't always better, sometimes it's a little worse. For any given generation, the Xeons basically use the same core design with a few minor features that are disabled on the consumer chips. Many times, the difference is just a little extra testing and changes in binning policy. Even if it's the Xeon chip, that doesn't matter if you are still using them in cheap consumer systems.
Now what I would like to see advertised - but won't - is slower but highly reliable motherboards, processors and memory at commercial prices.
I think you mean commodity prices. Just underclock commodity stuff then. Commercial prices would be the pricing you get when you buy actual workstations and servers, think Xeon and Opteron.
My way to get reliable systems is to get off-lease workstations on eBay and the like, where liquidators eBay them just to get rid of them, and they went pretty cheaply. All the ones I've been getting have been treated well and are very clean and are solidly reliable at a good price, and the systems still had good driver support from the maker. You can either get them somewhat bare (only one of two sockets populated, half of 8 or more memory slots populated, only one drive) and upgrade them, or you can bide your time and find some that are stuffed to the gills in upgrades, both CPU sockets loaded, all memory slots populated, lots of drives, and so on.
Last I remember, the California AG is smarter than that and not so easily cowed. Maybe considerations for those problems are in the bill, I don't know.
With the added range of n, I would think that you could more easily get 100% outdoor coverage. It looks to me that n support is stabilized enough such that there won't be significant changes to it that investing in currently existing hardware is a significant risk.
I don't understand why some of you people focus only on the Internet. Sure, the bottleneck is the Internet if that's all you care about. No one is denying that. There are other factors to consider, such as AP contention and range. Fast student access to on-campus services has to be useful too.
Then, don't get a cheap laser. My LaserJet 2200D had 17,000 pages printed when I bought it for $125 two years ago and I'm still loving it. I don't know where it is on page count now, but it almost never mangles a page, whereas I've had 10x the mangle rate on my inkjet. I am also using the thing in a dusty environment too.
Trying to be cost competitive with an inkjet is stupid, just for the reason that the cost of ink is used to subsidize the printer cost. You don't want lasers to compete like that, you are sure to get a junk device. Buying a printer on price is basically like buying a heap of problems. If you are smart, you don't do that.
Kodak really didn't demolish the model, they are just a little cheaper on ink, that's all. David Pogue at the NYT pointed out that black printing costs about the same as a similar HP, and the cost of color printing is only 40% less per page. I would expect ink to cost 95% less per page before saying Kodak truly "broke" the business model.
I am trying to square your statement with others, other people said that Open Source isn't a registered trade mark. Without that trademark, there is no control, making your point moot.
I have that Brother, the toner carts seems to have a lot less toner than other brands with similarly priced toner, maybe a third or half the toner as the cart for my HP laser.
I only use inkjet for photo printing, everything else I just use a laser. I hope to buy a color laser soon.
I had some relatives that farmed using chemicals, and others that farm organically. I really don't see a significant negative impact on the quality of organically grown food. My grandpa's beef is at least as good as anything else I've had, so I'm wondering what is different or if you are making things up.

Shrinkwrap shminkwrap. That doesn't matter.

Last I heard, illegal immigrants have a lower criminal rate than US citizens.

To be truly "tuner", the exhaust tip needs to be at least twice the diameter as the actual exhaust. Just to make it look fast.

As opposed to the gushing praise that people have given it, particularly those that have never used it?
The fourth season was fine. The fifth didn't do so well with me, particularly with Boobarella as captain of the station.n.
