You would be very surprised. My mother is big into this stuff. You can put in any kind of information about a person. They want it. When looking for ancestors, that kind of information is very handy, as it tells the story of where they where, went, etc. That help you to uncover where to look next. You can include it all, picture, land purchases, you name it.
The Mormon faith believes in tracing humans back to Adam and Eve. They have a hug geneaology library in Salt Lake City. There are several programs available that you can pu the information in, and submit it to them. They will keep it forever, and other can research it as well.
He is allowed to challenge them in court, but here is the problem. Until the case is settled, or Viacom pays the fines, the paperwork to buy more stations, renew licenses, etc is halted. This effectively puts them out of business unless they pay the fine because they cannot afford to have that freeze while the court case is on going. Effectively, Stern cannot go to court.
Its somewhat like the human body. If your immune system never does any work, when a threat comes, you will become overwhelmed by it, and could even die. You could even say that immunization shots are like security patchs. They both help the system learn how to defend against the attacker.
I do not thinks scrapping will work. It needs to change, but the changes need to be made slowly. You will never get enough people to just drop the old system, never go back and adopt the new one. Instead you need to slowly phase out the old system, by making changes one at a time to the system. This could take a while, but its worth it.
Think of it this way, email is like a huge aircraft carrier. Its much easier for the aircraft carrier to make a long sweeping turn, than it is for it to stop on a dime, turn, and start up again in a new direction.
People will accept small changes much easier than a new radical design. PLus these small changes can be incorporated in the products we use now, slowly shaping them into the solution.
I have, I leave my IM up all the time, I;ll come home and have a few IM from some lonely sorority babes that have a free cam, and I should come chat with them.
Why not add offline storage capabilities to an IM style of communication? In this respect, people can send me instant messages when I'm online, and send me stored messages when I'm offline.
Many IM protocols use this. Yahoo does. ICQ does. Jabber can.
Problem solved.
I'm actually baffled why an enterprising individual hasn't implemented this as of yet. While you've certainly got the problem of getting people to move to the new solution, it wouldn't be *that* difficult for most services like Hotmail to switch. In order for this to work, we'd need:
1) Open standard for all to use (i.e. - IM interoperability) 2) Free of charge / bundled with ISP service
Ahh how idealistic, now lets come back to the real world. There have been some implementations like you suggested. They were not accpeted mainstream, and servies like Hotmail won't just switchover, they want to be the ones dictating.
i understand your point, but it gets cloudy. Lets say you were in Russia, and you broke into a US bank and transfered some funds. You just broke a lot of US laws. Then you come and visit the US, the US authorities find out, and arrest you. Perfectly normal.
I guess the real question is where do computer crimes jurisdiction lie? In the jurisdiction the offender is in, or the jurisdiction that the victim is in? The example of prostitution (which is legal in the US in some places, i.e. Nevada), you are not breaking the laws of the jurisdiction you are in, but with a computer crime, you are representing yourself eltronically in that jursidiction. Once again, this is still fuzzy and being played out. As for your comparison, you were comparing apples to oranges.
Yes, I understand your point. However, DirectTV went to the Canadian authorities (RMCP), and the RMCP must think that these people were breaking Canadian law, and thus acted. So what you told me was that the Canadian authorites acted on Canadian soll? Once again within the Canadian jurisdiction in this example.
I am not sayingDirectTV is right or wrong, I was simply pointing out that the jurisidctional issues were followed correctly. Whether it is right or wrong is a totally different arguement.
Wrong. It most certainly can aaply to non-US citizens, but does not have to. If you are a non-US citizen, and you come to the US and break a law, you can be held accountable for that law, there is no, but I'm not American defense. I know I'll get flamed for this, but Sklyarov was in the US when he was arrested, so in that case they did have jurisdiction.
No, its data that thebuilt in player uses. In ost cases the software is hardcoded into the hardware, so it can not be easily changed. The point still remains, however that the mp3 is not software, but rather data that is fed to the software.
Well lets see, first its a gun, take it to a gun club or a shooting range and have target practice. Thats a legitimate, legal use. Now, I understand your point completely, there are some guns that the public has no need for, but as it stands, they are legal. I was not arguing guns laws, I was simply staing that using a legal tool in an illegal matter does not make the tool illegal.
Smoking does not have to kill, excessive smoking can kill. So there is a difference which would render your argument useless in this particular situation.
*Scenario* A man takes a gun and murders someone with it.
Now who is to blame? The gun manufacturer or the idiot who killed someone? Now there are legitmate legal uses for a gun (skeet shooting, etc), but should the makers be help responsible because the user used it for an illegal activity - NO. P2P has legitimate legal uses, but it is not the makers fault if noone uses it that way. What it all comes down to is the ser made the choice to break the law, and in the end should be the one who is responsible.
Ummm, I think this is what they are saying. My guess is that they cannot lower prices and atleast break even, so they are scrapping it. They are a business after all, so why would they continue to support a platform where they can't/aren't making money?
Remember the bottom line is it always comes down to money, and whats going to make the most of it.
what should be protocol for when an airport is in/next to a city?
Well this would apply to planes that are not supposed to be in the "soft wall". Basically if you do not have an approved flight plan to be in the area, you can;t come in without being approved.
And on top of this, if your are using most modern compilers, when you make a code change, you only need to recompile the changed parts. Now if you change a header file that everything touches, that could mean a lot more time, but if you are only working on one file, then it will only recompile that file.
I think this arguement of compilation time is garbage.
If you had READ the information on the very FIRST page od the Donotcall.gov site, then you would know that after you sign up, they have up to 3 months to stop calling you. You if you sign up on Oct 1. They can continue to legally call you until Jan 1.
But I should have known you didn't do any reading, this is Slashdot of course.
sounds good, but yet another flaw. I am allowed in this lane without a permit, if I have more than one person in the car. So my plate would be scanned, I would no thave a permit, but I would legally be in that lane. I guess you could take a picture of the car to make sure if it had atleast 2 people, or had the permit.
It could be done if someone really puts there mind to it, but my bet is at first, there will be some people taking major advantage of this.

great, so your friend is some sort of assfuck secretary nwho gets coffee.... whoopee, he needs to know how to use pgp for that...

I never get spam via instant messenger

ever heard of Nevada? Gambling and prostitution are both legal and regulated.
i understand your point, but it gets cloudy. Lets say you were in Russia, and you broke into a US bank and transfered some funds. You just broke a lot of US laws. Then you come and visit the US, the US authorities find out, and arrest you. Perfectly normal.

the DMCA does not apply to non-US citizens
Wrong. It most certainly can aaply to non-US citizens, but does not have to. If you are a non-US citizen, and you come to the US and break a law, you can be held accountable for that law, there is no, but I'm not American defense.

If the Apple market is just too small, say so.

58,944 is the number from the article.

Twinkie is a word, because it is a proper name. A dictionary does not contail all of the names, but names most certainly are words.
So, basically, it has to be compiled (duh).
And on top of this, if your are using most modern compilers, when you make a code change, you only need to recompile the changed parts. Now if you change a header file that everything touches, that could mean a lot more time, but if you are only working on one file, then it will only recompile that file.

switch from portrait view to landscape simply by tilting the handset
Would that happen to be a 90 degree tilt?
