Your offtopic by a mile, but interesting argument, to counter:
If I rented out my bedrooms at my house and I rented to a murder who murdered somebody while LIVING AT MY HOUSE, am I liable? Why should megaupload be liable for letting the pirate in w/o knowing s/he is a pirate?
P.S. Fuck no I'm not, never stopped the police from harassing ( convicting) everybody in their investigation though.
Yep, this is why on-shore cloud computing will never take off, why would a foreign entity want to put in this position. XDA won't get their hosting back, but I highly doubt they lost anything, it's developers after all. But imagine if your business relied on megaupload, say for high speed downloads of your companies product, you'd be hurting.
Still I don't see how paying uploaders can directly be linked to promoting file sharing. It's still the uploaders choice to make the money via copyrighted material...
It's like this for a reason though, a more featured cable costs more, but would not be supported on something like say a low end onkyo receiver, thus it wouldn't make sense to the consumer or manufacturer to eat the cost. Of course the high end offerings probably mostly take advantage of the more featured cable.
There's more you can do w HDMI, but remember HDMI is a home theater standard (much much less flex than a computer in terms of connections and IO), so packaging video + ethernet into a single connector makes sense. Now imagine playing a video game in 1080p and downloading at the same time via your graphics card... ya no lol. Thus HDMI's extra features are just extra $ to the computer world where the DVI standard resides. Mini display / display ports are what would replace dvi if anything.
Last but not least, DVI-I is for backwards compatibility, there is no reason to use it otherwise really. HDMI adapters for this functionality are more expensive.
So, let's just say it's not going away, no matter what.
An adapter or a converter. I'd imagine intelligent pc monitor and tv manufacturers would retain those ports for decades to come to maintain compatibility. I had a stupid Hanns G monitor once that I ordered off newegg, that had ONLY 1 HDMI port (I didn't read, was a good deal), it also came with a hdmi male / dvi male cable (single wire), never seen anything like it, but worked like a charm. I guess they're similar enough where you can do a crossover cable..?
Also the smaller tv is cheaper due to the inferior resolution, your desktop and media will always look better on the PC monitor. When a tv says its pc compatible, it means it supports a common pc resolution as opposed to something like 1368x768 or something that a lot of graphics cards struggle w.
My point is alcohol lowers inhibitions... and that can cause a drunk person to do something a sober one normally wouldn't. At that point what I'm saying is your better off without a gun (ex. in the old west bartenders kept the guns, people would still sneak them).
I'd love to hear how megaupload made money from piracy when uploading / downloading from the site has always been free. Only thing you'd have to pay for is if you wanted faster download speeds, irrelevant to the user generated content on the site. Megaupload couldn't exist under SOPA / PIPA laws irregardless for that reason.
Also, I am very curious as to what they (the arrested) can / will argue. A lot of lesser arguments have been shut down by courts (ex. I didn't know it was on my server), but megaupload is a little different and unique of a RIAA/MPAA victim isn't it?
If the above can get the US government to consider SOPA though, I don't like their chances considering lobbyists trying to buy a guilty verdict from the judge.
Pretty sure that mechanism doesn't exist in at least some lower level languages. Try catch finally is more of an OOP concept. I believe the Point of the article is that there is NO VALID REASON to use GOTO in any VS native language, thus the achieve if you do.
The flaw here, is not everybody was raised that way, in fact most people weren't, and what about the elderly and young? Do you think you could have legitimately defended yourself w a shotgun at 6? Not against an adult w a gun you can't. The systems already in place though, concealed weapons permit + firearm = legal, whether your getting arrested or not. Of course, they'll take it from you upon arrest, but (sometimes w great pain) you can get it back. That's different from having a gun in your home. I always thought the goal was for everybody to have a gun in their home to prevent home intrusion and the like, picture the wild west, where most people carried a gun, random gun fights broke out and people died. A gun is a much more attractive option of settling an argument a 5th of whiskey later. And I assure you, human nature hasn't changed since then.
And in other news...divorce continues skyrocketing,
Seriously kids, realize that your significant other can lock you out of your own accounts on breakup, and you can't recover everything via your phone #, pretty sure like... netflix, email providers that aren't google.
Goto is great when nothing else is / was available, but in any modern object oriented language, if you can't properly adjust your variable's exposures then you don't need to code imho.
Yep, your op missed the point entirely, thus the lack of response. My point is you'd reach different people via social network sites like fb via a blackout than you would via Wikipedia. Probably more too. And... it would have a drastic and noticeable effect on people urging them to take action to avoid the inconvenience, as some of those can't live without fb for 1/2 a day.
Actually, that works out great, less devices for Linux to support, so hopefully they can refocus some coding effort from driver support. It also works because YOU as the consumer are responsible for buying what you need, not the manufacturer (so buy a tablet you know supports it).
But anyways, all I'm saying is if my tablet has slightly worse hardware specs cause I bought it for the same price as a win 8 tab BUT it lets me run Linux, I just don't think I care. Same w the phones, they can't kill Android because android is supported by the community more than a corporate (google).

It probably was, on stuff like that, the whole workplace becomes a rumor mill and people take sides.

It's not enough to kill them (the world would be a much better place w/o the riaa & mpaa), but it might roll some heads, the kind that need rolling.
Because nobody's tried to convict them yet.
Rofl, if you got enough money, no it won't.
What if you didn't murder anybody and your case took 2 years and you don't have money?
Is it ok to break a few eggs to make an omelet when the eggs are people?
Remember the nazis and their "scientific" experiments?
Due process is a joke, you won't even get an apology if your found innocent I bet.

Even so, DVI supports usb http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface which means more importantly, it can do w/e hdmi does, there is no sense in running ethernet to your pc monitor though.

Because futurists are moronic and don't understand that dvi = hdmi in terms of quality.

Realize that no piece of security software will keep you safe indefinitely from a determined hacker. That applies to security companies as well.

I'm not hearing the same news for desktops though? I could care less about the tablets / phones / ARMs. Desktops and laptops, seem to replace the bios w/o the bs. http://www.techspot.com/news/40493-uefi-to-start-dominating-bios-in-2011-slash-pc-boot-time.html Not finding a whole lot on it though.
