Actually I think that is not quite right. If the ruling is allowed, then it can be cited, as non binding precedent, while judges aren't required to look at that, they often do. Besides I am certain that the ruling will be appealed. Which could increase the significance of it. The actual guilt or innocence of the paper is inconsequential for use as precedent.
You should return it or complain, most people I know with Hauppages have decent enough video (though it can take a bit more singal strength then a normal tv)
Hmmm try maybe dscaler to do some deinterlacing(on max options it can look impresive).
ATI's linux support used to suck massively though lately I think they have been better. Besides, I still recommend that people get seperate tv tuner cards as they can live a good bit longer then one computer, and video cards are, for the gamer at least, about the most commonly upgraded piece of equipment. Also you can leverage the fact that WinXP killed a lot of TV tuner cards that work fine, but don't have WinXP drivers, in many cases these will work just as well if not better under linux.
Good headphones mean you won't even hear the fans, and a much cheaper then an equivalent speaker baes system. Of course that does kind of limit the viewership, but heh this isn't exactly a party system is it?
If you really don't like the noise try a Via C3 proc. Fine for this simple work, runs in standard HW and doesn't need a fan.
Actually I would hihgly recomend just using any AGP card, and a standalone bt8x8 Windows 2k/XP dropped support for most of them but linux has good support as do previous windows OS's (and with some work 2k/XP as well), but people are dumping them on the market, and good deals can be had by all.
Parts of the software is there. the big thing is the lack of a Program guide.
If you're eligible to vote and in thier districit/state, vote against them. If you breathe and are in the appropriate location, volunteer for the campaigns against them.
Hmmm I just did some entirely unscientific tests, and the rendering speed was unnoticeable on local files. On remote servers it randomly went one way or the other. Mozila might have a few random scattered weaknesses with specific web pages, but not common web pages, and I'm sure IE is the same way. As for Java in Moz well that sucks because Sun's plugin sucks, and as IE will no longer have native Java support, it is/will be irrelevant. As for memmory ussage, that is harder to tell than one thinks because of memmory cahce etc. So let me close by quoting Aristotle, "It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims"
From OS-9 FAQ: In the 1980's, Microware ported OS-9 to the 68000 family of microprocessors, creating OS-9/68000, which is used in a variety of industrial and commercial arenas, including Philips' CD-i and most recently, set-top boxes for interactive television. Microware is constantly added processor support to OS9000. Currently supported processors include 68xxx, PPC, X86, Intel SARM / IXP, MIPS, SPARC, Hitachi SH.
There is no realistic way you could just pay the artists.
the label does promotion for the artist
the label records the songs
While the labels are almost certainly ripping off the artists, they are doing something, and can't be excluded so easily, I mean no matter what the studio tech has to eat. Of course, all new contracts will simply agree to the label being a "marketing corporation" and getting x% of any revenue generated by the artist anyways.
I have no ties to the industry, but see nothing wrong with this. Indeed the author is obviously just anti-capitalist. I want to know how much he is paid by the radical anti-advertising coalition. Really Slashdot should retract this article.
The DMCA is not the Digital Millenium Theft Act. This does not protect copyrights, thus it can be removed. Of course if you do remove them, you better save the reciepts because removing them would look pretty suspicious when you get accused of stealing them. Of course new leigsttion could make the removal illegal.
Nah, that is the rule against meaeaninglyess exposition, and instead just to flashback for a few pages instead of having a few pages explaining it. It sounds like Salvatore is just using far too many words to descibe an action, which is to an extent a personel prefrence. However, who really expects novelizations of movies to be decent? (caveat, Waterworld's book was far better then the movie, but that wasn't hard) If the new novels have collectible covers like the old ones this one should sell well.
Roadrunner doesn't let you run your own server when it costs $599 for a static ip? Nah, they let you Truthfully thier prices are horrible, esp. when they really can't offer substantially more QOS then home service.
I believe they are an ISP and ISPs accepted almost no responsibility for what thier customers posted under Common Carrier, and one of the more sensible provisions of the DMCA. Yeah and if you receive an email from bob@roadrunner.com you might think that someone from roadrunner corporate was taling to you, but they aren't. This is a fundamental problem when you let customers on your server, there can be confusion based on the domain name. However since the org field is not often displayed, and people look at the email adress a lot more often, well any ISP could find themselves getting confused with a poster's views. It doesn't happen much now, so don't worry about it. There is no new threat.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a perfectly correct implementation of organization? Whose NNTP server was used? Roadrunner's server. Whose name should be listed under organization, well I can make a strong argument for roadrunner. I fail to see what harm this does to the consumer, and more importantly what "right" is lost. Most clients don't display the header by defualt. It might help someone report spam. The only downside is if you used public usenet to reply to support postings, and wanted to look profesional, and then a private server would be a much more sensible solution(no propagation time, complete control, etc.)
Like what electronic device screening in movie theaters? This is a problem with theater security not computer security.
Actually though electronic device scanners could detect all cell phones and force people to either put them on vibrate or store tehm, and that would be a very good thing.
I call it task lighting, but it is of course not done with that term's modern intentions. A certain kind of taskish lighting existed, partly because:
Fixtures and Bulbs were relatively more expensive
Electricty cost more(in today's dollars)
Bulbs produced less ilumination
All this conspired to produce a more focused form of lighting.It was only later when cheap energy allowed the blanket of light style to take off did we move into most of today's even, ugly light. Since the only tasks light helps you do tend to require detail (excepting things that need lots of light like warehouses) they don't need more then task(ish)lighting. BTW nice link
Yes they are bright, but they make horrible area lighting. the most efficient lighting... The problem is your assumption for area lighting useful light != are lighting. Area lighting is actually relatively new as a complete replacement for other forms of lighting. If you notice older movies and photographs you will see lots of task lighting (i.e. table lamps, floor lamps, etc.) This is becasue they might well have had 20 watt bulbs, and lighting up a space with readable light with low wattage bulbs is difficult. Today you can just turn on the 500 watt halogen and read anywhere in the room.
This all besides the point as one of the key features of LEDs are their ruggedness, and long life. CFL is nice but fragile, and will eventually burn out.
Inkwell: Handwriting recognition technology. Recognized by any application that uses text, even basic UNIX applications like Terminal.
Yawn... Anyone remember pen services for Windows for Pen Computing... for Windows 3.1? MS has always had better alternate input device selection. Still nice that Apple is catching up, might mean an OS X pen based comp(hope hope hope)?

This means the the court is NOT determining that Nike's statements constitute fraud, but shutting them up from making unpopular statements.
No it is saying that they can be sued for making false or misleading statements or business practices. Nike is still able to say whatever they want, this is not an injunection. It just means they can be sued if the statments exceed the boundaries set for comercial speech (which has less protection then non comercial speech).
I do not have a right to make deceptive/false claims like this, neither should a company. Actually you do have the right to make false claims, i.e. there is nothing illegal with saying that you are the King of Alantis, and that to get to heaven one must have sexual intercourse with you. Of course if you said Nike makes shoes of young boy's skin, then you could be sued for slander and/or libel. Howewver, nothing stops you from making false statements about yourself (except the possibility of becoming a resident in a mental institution).
My own thought on having US based corporations manufacture goods outside the country? The United Streets should view those factories as being within the US, and charge applicable fines to corporations that abuse their employees (by United States standards). If the company doesn't like it, fine, they can move their business to the other country. Of course, then they should pay stiff import fees, as in charge enough money to not make it worth it for the company. Problems with this? Ummm, it violates a dozen or so treaties? Besides what about foriegn companies selling things here? What about companies that import a foriegn companies product, posibly without any knowledge of the foriegn company?
Well sure there are some to consider...how do you decide what "minimum wage" is in another country? $5 an hour in some third world country would make you rich enough to create a military rivalling your government's, probably. So that's something I couldn't answer. But the law guys should think about this.... Mimimum wage is almost certainley set by the local government, and not the company, just as it is in the US, and other industrialzed companies. A military costs about the same regardless of where you go(excepting labor). $5 hour (which btw, is quite a sum in some third world countries) would not buy a military, even in a third world country a properly trained and equiped soldier is not cheap.
From law.com In her separate, 30-page dissent, Justice Brown -- making references to Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and King Arthur's Court -- said Nike's statements should have been protected because the commercial and non-commercial aspects were "inextricably intertwined."
