His supporters rightfully point out he is a political prisioner, there are dozens of other companies openly selling pot seeds in Canada, and none of them were investigated by the US DEA or arrested.
If you plug a computer into an ungrounded outlet or use one of those 2 pring cheaters, often the case will float up to around 60 volts (in the US, 120 volts if you have 240 power!) at 1-5 milliamps.
The reason for this is the power supply forms a capacitive voltage divider with the chassis ground in the center, it's part of the filtering.
If you had proper grounding you wouldn't have been shocked.
It wasn't the power supply's fault. Most of them are designed that way.
I don't use the time padding feature, but I'm pretty sure tivo will just throw a conflict if you try to schedule two shows that are padded back to back. Not sure what it would do if they are on the same channel or with a dual tuner Tivo.
You know, I don't know these ads are that people keep talking about.
The only difference I've noticed with regard to ads is that some commercials will have a "Press select for more information" note at the top. You don't see it when you are skipping or fast forwarding though, and it doesn't prevent you from skipping or fast forwarding in any way.
The only other ads I can think of is the ad placed in the main menu. It's just a one line text ad near the bottom that you don't have to select. Most of the time you just hit left arrow on the main menu without even looking at it, to go straight to the "Now Playing" list.
MP3s took off because it was truely innovative to have near CD-quality sound in 1/10th of the space the equivalent WAV file took up.
That, combined with colleges wiring ethernet to dorm rooms, is what got MP3 going strong.
Regarding your disk space argument:
In 1996-1997 the biggest consumer hard disks were about 6GB. That would have set you back a pretty penny in early 1997 ($400 or so). They didn't jump all that fast (20,40,60,80,100) until after 2000. MP3 was already well established by then.
So lets say you had in 1997 about 1GB of disk you could devote to MP3s, I'd say that's about par. That's about 333 songs.
So anyway my point is, hard disk sizes today in relation to DVD is not much different from MP3 size vs hard disks in the late 90s. They are within the same ballpark.
If you could really detect lying, it would strike at deep rooted social norms.
Our society is one of lies. Politeness and etiquette is one huge lie.
The whole idea of society is you lie about your real feelings or lie by acting a way contrary to what you want to do, for the sake of society.
Or maybe I'm just one of a group that hasn't convinced themselves society is anything but a sort of lie. We'd score pretty badly on such tests no matter what the subject matter was.
it dissipates 30 joules per second, and the word for "joules per second" is WATT:)
Yes of course, I meant heat dissipated (or rate of heat dissipation if that satisifes your nitpicking) and power consumed are both measured in watts, because they are the same thing in something that doesn't do work like a CPU.
The packaging and printing industry is full of people trying to get something for nothing.
People want nice looking packaging that has all kinds of crazy features, but they'll penny pinch and backstab to save a buck (like getting one place to design it on the assumption it'll be printed there, then taking the design somewhere else to br printed).
You have to tell the FAA to put out a NOTAM for any sort of tethered launch that is outside certain parameters (like with a payload over a few ounces).
Not quite a "permit" per se... but the FAA is used to dealing with these sorts of requests so I agree it's not that novel.
Even a mile up is well below commercial flight levels. I could probably call the FAA tomorrow and get the same permission these jokers are bragging about.:)
I have a serious question. I have had *VERY* bad experience with cars. I had a two-car setup for running to the store and doing errands and picking things up.
One car crashed within 2 years; tires went flat and I couldn't steer. So of course the car is gone, but I got in the remaining car and used it by itself. Gone in under another year.
I dont remember the manufacturer but I realize it could just be a bad manufacturer.
BUT just recently the car in a friend's garage crashed hard. No flat tires but seems like serious damage/failure; the engine will start with about 20 minutes of cranking. Won't drive or turn, etc. I threw int in another garage and results were the same so it was the car.
This is the third car I've seen crash hard in the last 2 or so years.
I personally think anyone that's unable to cope with seeing certain combinations of the latin alphabet probably aren't mature enough to be surfing the web, myself.
I agree. I just wanted to get clear what exactly the original poster meant by "incriminating"...
It's not like they haven't criminally charged high school kids for similar "hacking" feats. And archive.org I believe was sued for mirroring supposedly "unlinked" "private" files.
Slashdot Mirror
The 60v version just tingles mostly.
Well actually he was arrested in Canada by Canadian Police
Only because the DEA pressured them to arrest him. He's been openly selling seeds for 11 years and the canadian authorities knew full well about it!
His seed company is called "Marc Emory Seeds"! It's not like he's some fugitive or crime boss. He openly admits his "crimes".
I don't see Emory whining about it.
His supporters rightfully point out he is a political prisioner, there are dozens of other companies openly selling pot seeds in Canada, and none of them were investigated by the US DEA or arrested.
Just like it was illegal for Rosa Parks to do what she did.
Violating an unjust law is not wrong.
The computer wasn't properly grounded, I see.

It wasn't the power supply's fault. Most of them are designed that way.
Seriously though, its a wonder to me that each device continues to insist on its own PSU
Because a redundant 1000 watt power supply costs a whole lot more than 3 times more than a 350 watt one.
Distributed power conversion is (generally) a good thing.
I don't see any of them down at the gallows.
I do. The US DEA arrested Marc Emery, leader of the Marijuana Party.
It's illegal to be against the War on Drugs.
I don't use the time padding feature, but I'm pretty sure tivo will just throw a conflict if you try to schedule two shows that are padded back to back. Not sure what it would do if they are on the same channel or with a dual tuner Tivo.
I think the original poster has confused CSS with macrovision anyway.

Well, comparing the MD5 from another mirror or the main site would have caught this one, if I'm understanding the situation correctly.

Yeah you are right there. That does in turn eventually end up as heat too though.

What do you think most of it leaves as?
s/most/all
Unless your case is plastic and leaks a lot of RF energy or something.

Yes of course, I meant heat dissipated (or rate of heat dissipation if that satisifes your nitpicking) and power consumed are both measured in watts, because they are the same thing in something that doesn't do work like a CPU.
Power dissipated=heat. Hint: Both are measured in watts!

Microsoft is rumoured to have used BSD's stack
It's not a rumor, you can see the copyright notice in some of the utilities.
MS uses at a minimum: libpng, zlib, BSD-derived TCP/IP, GPL utils in SFU, Ogg..
Probably more.
This isn't just rumors, these are confirmed things. The reporter that wrote this story really dropped the ball.
The summary is wrong, it (the RE2) does have NCQ.
See a real review like TechReport instead of that amateur crap they posted.
Owing to a bug, we've noticed.

Am I just having bad luck?
