Then maybe congress should try working on these slightly more important issues. Drafting legislation that threatens to make universities into a police force should be resisted by the people.
Tell the reps to work on the important issues instead of telling the people resisting the nonsense to shut up. Although, if we just roll over and give them free reign to do whatever they feel like they may get around to the important stuff a bit more quickly... if they deem things other than padding their pockets as important.
The relevancy lies in who is committing an action, and who is being punished for it. The assumption that all students are stealing is absolutely absurd. All students will lose their loans and aid because some are downloading perceived stolen music. The math doesn't add up. As soon as some universities started pointing out flaws in finding the exact student by IP in the shotgun approach, the laws suddenly shift to the entire campus.
It isn't so easy to live without a degree, and it is very difficult to get a degree without loans. IF the only options for locations to get the degree for some people becomes East City Janitorial and Tech College, there will be no perceived value to the degree.
Those who can afford their own ride already will be fine, and the gap just got enormous.
All of this is pure speculation, but likely and obvious. Whichever scumbag in DC decided to slip this in with no consideration for so much of the population should be the first against the wall.
I somewhat agree, but I also see a line that doing something illegal does not require being put in jail. There are other punishments available, or other treatments. Jail should be saved for the violent offenders who actually cause damage to others, not just engage in behavior that some disagree with.
considering that using the service at all (comcast, not BT) can cause performance degradation for others, regardless of knowledge or intent, using the AUP in the way you are referring to means that we should all just pay them to provide nothing.
Slowing down traffic of the abusers... 30 seconds into the transfer, shows how little understanding there is. Even the half-hearted argument of bandwidth abusers takes time to determine how much data they have transferred. At 30 seconds, there is not nearly a large enough amount of data to determine how much data WILL be transferred.
My phone has all kinds of interesting features, that are locked out. The phone could do these things, but tmobile places false restrictions on the features. Why does the network access break when a java app is activated?... because then they couldn't nail me for the full internet plan while I check email.
By the time I learned about the feature locks (and the + $50 it would cost to turn them on) I was already in the contract. I tried flashing the phone, but magically got bounced from the net until it got flashed back. The phone connected for a time, so I had not removed something to allow connections.
I eliminated support by allowing her to choose what she wanted. When it breaks, I tell her that it was her choice to use that crap. If she wants my help, she plays by my rules.
Thankfully she is smart enough to solve the windows issues that pop up, so this scenario actually works.
funny note... to avoid support calls from the mother in law, I gave her an old IBM laptop running ubuntu. The only time she claims it didn't work was when the ISPs DNS was in the toilet.
I for one am glad they are sending cold air to the backs of the racks. It doesn't matter quite so much in this case as there is so much crap in the plenum that the air flow is already killed before it has a chance to get to the out vents. Oh ya, one more gripe... people will bring trash, dust, liquid, and a potential of pressing shiny buttons and pulling on cords.
except that this one links to something with his name in the banner. I guess people using slashdot as advertising space for themselves is fine, as long as it is transparent.
wow, what a great idea. I think I am going to find a way to create list of commands that can be run instead of having users type the commands themselves. I will call this scripting. You windows people think of everything.
the easy explanation is that the rebels had been at war for 15 years or so. The last thing on their minds was waxing and buffing the planes, the goal was to get it up and flying to go blow stuff up.
Aside from that, i completely agree. The original ships were much more entertaining.
The contents of the bag simply do not matter in this case. Someone approached this individual and asked him to prove that he owns everything in his possession, and he declined. End of story.
From the store's POV... they were given the opportunity to either call the police and officially accuse, or let the individual go. This is a legal requirement that they skipped. All they had to do was say that they believed there is reason to call the police, and ask the person not to leave. He would not have.
The uniform of the questioner has no bearing at all upon this case. The items had been purchased, and belonged to the former shopper. If he had owned these items for months, years, or minutes makes no difference. This was his property and it is not his requirement to prove ownership.
A manager was involved, although I do not know what level of management he was at. There wasn't much communication being offered from this person.
As for effectiveness, I think this case has raised a lot of recognition of how customers are viewed and treated by these stores. This person was not a shoplifter, but a paying customer who the store treats poorly for no apparent reason.
This was a resistance to a random person walking up to you and asking you to prove that what you are holding is yours. The property was his after the purchase, and the store has zero rights to challenge him. He offered to let them officially charge him and to call the police, or let him go. They did neither. At that point, the store has broken the law and is falsely imprisoning this man. The fact the the police then arrested him for calling them is a huge problem.
I really hope that there aren't many people like you who think that random searches by other citizens, and false imprisonment is OK. Standing up for your own rights under the law is far from a waste of time. If you do not protect your own freedom, you will not have any.
you only speak for a majority of his readers because everyone who got sick of the feet dragging and go-nowhere plot lines stopped reading entirely. I have refused to even begin reading a series until the entire things is complete because of the constant expansion of the story line from this author, and his lack of editing when his wife took over (at least that is what i heard happened around book 5 or 6). I thought the first book was incredible, and really wish the story could have kept to the original design and intended length of 4 or 5.
I see two big problems in this solution. First, you have to find the name of EVERY pr0n site that you don't want the child accessing. Second, after this is done, the kid has a comprehensive list of EXACTLY what you don't want then to see. This will quickly be at a friend's house.
The electoral college is appointed by the state. The state at some point has been elected. Participating in all of the local elections and smaller non-presidential elections is the best way to get the electoral college members appointed by people you agree with.
It is true that the college members are not required to follow the voters constitutionally, but they are pledged to represent the will of the people.
I would guess the WGA is updated, and an ability to stop pirated copies of old OS is in the works. Good way to sell more copies of Vista when the problem is that people are holding on to their old OS. Turn off the old one, they gota buy something.
you need to learn to RTFM. I am sure there is a list of who to sue in there. If that fails, it is open source, just read through the kernel. All of the coders left their agent's contact info in there.

the double plus affordable college opportunity bill will be on the floor next week.
If you played it in full HD on a big enough screen, you could see the tiny writing "image simulated".
ya, i saw the video. It looked just like him, from the back.

This is more train-wreck than datacenter.
so you see all the bad drivers being permanently removed as a bad thing ?

But then no one would be willing to pay me to do it.

I, on the other hand, am lucky enough to have a phone that only plays DRMed tracks as ringtones. It is an mp3 player, but not a ringer... great deal.
This of course can be (and I have) worked around, but it is still a highly annoying "feature" to add.
This seems like the typical embrace and extend strategy. Why should the move be trusted this time?
