it makes so much sense. mag-lev trains make sense economically and for areas which have high congestion, metro to suburbs, they could be a great boon to the economy.
if, and big if, American lowest-bidderism doesn't screw it up or make it unsafe.
you've lost your argument in false legal assumptions.
The pirate bay is a listing agent for torrent files. It does not have any bearing on what files those torrents serve. It doesn't serve copyrighted files.
It serves torrent files. torrent files are not illegal anywhere, and they infringe no copyrights.
I agree about the doj, however I was under the impression that corporate espionage and stealing trade secrets was a crime. so why wouldn't the doj prosecute a crime? Theft is a crime.
A throughput cap will only hurt consumers and legitimate transfer-intensive services like steam, netflix, xbox live, and hulu.
The large few ISPs like to say that it's 1% of their subscribers who aren't playing fair. That's just not the truth. They see a trend emerging and they're not happy about it.
You don't institute major policy change because of 1% of your users. You do it because in less than a year, it could be 15%-20% using as much as the 1% currently uses.
Why? Online content providers are now offering larger quality services and more transfer-intensive services. Comcast certainly didn't like that. They have to pay for traffic outside their own network.
It really is a scam. They sold me unlimited service and they have reneged on their part of the deal. They altered the contract. That should be illegal, but they did it.
Caps and metered service are both money-saving scams. They will not prevent the inevitable.
The only real solution is to increase network capacity.
They originally sold us unlimited Internet access.
Now we've surpassed capacity. The answer isn't to limit our usage.
It's to increase capacity. The ISPs are all too fucking cheap to do it.
The Internet will suffer large losses in traffic due to shit like this. They will turn it into a ghost town.
Traffic will ebb and advertisers will pull out and services will increase in cost and decrease in value and quality of content will drop and the Internet economy will flounder.
All because the gate keepers are narrowing the gate while the lines are growing.
I understand that those lawsuits can't move forward without incriminating some former leaders and putting others in jail.
I understand that. But maybe that's what we need and want. Maybe we want to see some former leaders go to jail to get some closure.
I understand that Obama is respecting the office, but what the fuck? Someone needs to pay the price. John Yoo should be hanged for treason. Dick Cheney should be hanged for treason. Bush should spend his life in prison because he is too stupid to know what he was doing was seriously illegal and wrong. Those people subverted the Constitution of the United States and attempted a coup de'tat. That is treason.
Bush ignored his presidential oath. You remember the one he took where he swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America? He wiped his ass with the constitution. That is impeachable. That is unforgivable. The people of the United States of America demand justice. The fact that we can't get it means we've lost our republic. Touché Mr Franklin.
That's something that we all get charged on our bills for the federally mandated fund that's supposed to be used to build out broadband infrastructure.
Why aren't they building out their infrastructure?
Why, instead of building upgrading to the highest speed available, are they only upgrading to the next increment?
It's the mentality of these industry giants. They spend as little as little as possible only when absolutely necessary. But they charge out the ass for it.
Comcast has the capability of providing 100Mbit service with their docsis 3.0 upgrades. Will they provide 100Mbit service? No. Because it makes more sense to charge double the normal rate for 20Mbit service.
They will probably provide 50Mbit service also. They will charge $300 for 50Mbit. Capitalism does not like innovation.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I am intrigued at the idea of a battery as the power supply. This means you can use a smaller inverter with high quality components and it will produce much less heat. With the supply being a battery, I would imagine you have much less worry about ripple as well. I wonder what happens if a battery explodes?
I would guess they are measuring battery temperature as well as other temps. Batteries only explode when they get really hot. So I would imagine the machine turns off before it heats up too much.
This is considered corporate espionage instead of piracy. The work print was unreleased and therefore considered intellectual property and not copyrighted.
I know it is strange for the law to be so wonky in this area. This is why we need copyright reform.
We need new forms of copyright written into law by smart men who want the best compromise for all parties involved; not written by greedy lawyers trying to horde money.
We need to regulate what is essentially industry protectionism.
We need a digital copyright which covers both a checksum/hash and a similarity comparison test for visual works.
We need new rules on how long you can hold a copyright and what happens in the limbo between copyrighted and public domain.
They forbid tethering to the G1 with the $24.99 data plan.
The only way T-Mobile was going to sell any G1 phones at all was to lower the price of their unlimited data plan from $59 a month to $24.99 for G1 users.
They're not prepared to let you tether at that price.
And if you were told different, the sales jerks lied and you have a lawsuit on your hands.

I'm sorry, but this island of dr. moreau crap is such ridiculousness that this state senator should be laughed out of the senate chamber.
Least of all, this was also strangely similar to the last episode of "Fringe" on FOX where an animal hybrid escapes and kills a bunch of people.
state senator Martiny is really just trying to ban the creation of furries.
I'd travel high-speed rail in a heartbeat.

the same thing is happening with ebay. it's turned into a fence for stolen goods.
ebay has a responsibility to prevent these sort of listings yes? ebay didn't steal the items.
and should ebay founders go to jail if they don't remove the offending listings?
but wait, ebay is facilitating transactions as well. money is changing hands. they are paying thieves to steal.
it's swedish law, are you a swedish lawyer?
This is pure justice theatre.

Holy Shit! you have computers in arcadia?
last time I drove through (quickly) I could swear I heard banjo music!
And all that stink, locally, is swamp gas.
all you're doing is formatting content in a specific or dynamic layout for the Internet.
you mean "midichlorians."
Though I have to admin, my worms make me much smarter than before.
I agree about the doj, however I was under the impression that corporate espionage and stealing trade secrets was a crime. so why wouldn't the doj prosecute a crime? Theft is a crime.
I have to respectfully disagree.
Once you install SP1 and disable UAC, the OS is quite usable. It actually performs better than XP in some areas.
The only complaints I have are related to the windows explorer and file operations.
And I've been beta testing windows 7. It's much nicer than xp and vista. Much faster too.

This is clearly some ladder-climbing scheme by some jr. executive.
When the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, it's time to cut them both off.
You don't need to actually make dolphins deaf to know if they will be deaf! Not only is that cruel, it's unnecessary.
It's common knowledge that exposure to 200+ decibels will make anything deaf. And this Dr. Mooney is an idiot.
If it makes them deaf in a lab, it fucking works outside the lab!

agreed. Make an example of them. They're supporting terrorism by infringing copyrights!
oh silly fool. An inverter converts AC to DC also. So, what would you plug the computer into without an inverter?
That's something that we all get charged on our bills for the federally mandated fund that's supposed to be used to build out broadband infrastructure.

It's not replayability, it's bragging rights. Always has been.
I think that's a better question.
It really makes you question what the real issue is here.
