I probably shouldn't have said most, either way she has a huge CD collection and apparently has ripped them all. Of course I can't say all as I'm not involved with the trial, but they don't seem to be able to show any evidence of downloading.
Actually no it appears she owns most of the music she was sharing. So she was ripping, and possibly sharing those rips on Kazaa. Of course the RIAA has always been more concerned with the sharers than the downloaders anyways. Just wanted to correct you on that point.
Because there was a clear law that stated the drug was illegal. New drugs already have a approval process, but you can't just erase old laws without a vote of some sort.
Oh.. get over yourself. A single 767 can't do that much damage on its own, and they don't fly it very often. This is exactly the reason though why everyone can't be rich.. imagine the environmental damage if we all could have our private 767. Either way they bought this way before the dangers of global warming or the oil crisis had really hit. Do you think if they sold it it would get flown less?
I swear I read that three times as "I think that some more "mainstream" journalists have written articles on topics after seeing her cleavage" I knew it didn't make sense I go kept rereading it.. Now I'm gonna have to go looking for pics"
No in large university networks you have to set bandwidth caps for all users, (pst your ISP does this now and sets it at whatever Mbps you buy). His router wasn't even looking at UDP traffic so a few users were getting more than they were assigned.
Ummm you sue who is actually producing the violating item. Of course with a bit of maneuvering that violating producer could be a shell company out of the courts jurisdiction with physical production in china at which case the issue becomes more complex as you mentioned.
Actually UPS and FedEx do a lot of R&D currently they are both heavily invested in alternative fuel and hybrid technologies (think of the amount of gas one UPS truck on one route burns).
When they see its financially beneficial they will do it you can bet.
A lot of that also had to do with system efficiency. Industrialization and not computerization allows more work to get done in less time. In the early 1900s people had a choice work all day in the field or work all day in a factory. Both were hard work but many people choose the factory. As factories became more and more modernized less physical work was required. At the same time the government was passing laws restricting the amount of work you could be required to do. In reality its hard to know which came first really. Chicken meet Egg.
It depends. If you go around picking random peoples locks you might get in a bit of trouble. If you go around picking random peoples locks and stealing their shit, expect to get in a lot of trouble.
I remember WAY back in the day my dad taking the power cord from the computer away so we wouldn't use it. When he was gone we took the cord from the printer (standard computer cord) and used it, then we put it back when we were done:)
They are about to auction off the analog OTA bandwidth, they really couldn't get away with pushing it back after selling the space for billions. Now on the issue of Cable, I think the whole thing is kinda silly, cable operators already convert to analog all the non local broadcast from digital. Converting the handful of local broadcast to analog also is a no brainer. The cable companies can pretty much have their own schedule of when to force the switch to all digital, and that schedule is mandated by the market. If they switch too early they may lose some customers, or atleast be forced to offer them a box for conversion, which they already do for the ones who want digital cable. There is no reason the FCC needs to get involved. We aren't talking about public airwaves here...
Part of it is learning from mistakes, another part of it is blowing with the political win. In our Representative Democracy we expect our leaders to form knowledgeable opinions and stick to them even if its an unpopular opinion. Simply having an opinion because it is popular leads to mob rule and is ultimately destructive.

AMD NDA Scandal
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
WTF, your rights by the Constitution are restrictions on government, not on private entities. You can sign all your rights away except your life or liberty (slavery for instance).
It is very very common for secrets to be shared with an NDA. And no just because you are a journalist doesn't give you the "right" to share these secrets when you signed an NDA. This journalist decided not to sign, AMD decided not to share its secrets. End of story.
In these days and age its sad to see there still is limited separation of church and state. I wonder when the time will be that most of these church fraudsters will be exposed - bank accounts and all - so we can see who is taking um... donations. I'd say we have a greater separation of church and state than we do of cooperation and state. And the second has become almost as dangerous. So you'll see the first about the time you see the second.
From actual FCC text we propose to adopt the following block-specific aggregate reserve prices to be used pursuant to this proposal: Block A, $1.807380 billion; Block B, $1.374426 billion; Block C, $4.637854 billion; Block D, $1.330000 billion; Block E, $0.903690 billion.
So yea 4.6+ is the exact reserve and I assume starting bid. Its not a secret reserve, that is rarely done in the real world, just ebay.
Actually not completely. Wi-Fi can currently share spectrum to some degree. There are a lot of reports that with slight alterations of the receivers you can have 2 broadcast on the exact same spectrum and be able to digitally choose which one you want to listen to. But yes, for the most part whoever broadcast the loudest wins, but why not. Thats already true really, whoever has the money to broadcast loud has the money to buy spectrum from the government. And no two stations reallly want to be broadcasting on the same frequency as neither of them would get heard. You would have a large push for digital radio where many more broadcasters could share the spectrum. The only real "problem" is people who wish to broadcast indecency without government approval. And that is a problem, I think the market would solve some of it (they wouldn't get advertisers) it wouldn't solve all of it.. shrugs...
Not just enemies of the state though. Lincoln singlehandedly freed the slave and created a centralized Fed system at the same time. Of course some of this was needed as the States should be expected to follow basic human rights as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if even at that time it wasn't used as a power grab by the feds as well. Womens right to vote? It can be closely linked to the modern two party system taking complete control of our elections. Its kinda funny really..
I'd say its more along the lines that most everyone now finally has equal rights, but those rights (for those that have them) have been significantly diminished over the course of this countries history.

Did you notice the Cheech and Chong reference. I think the guy was just trying to be funny.

ARGG ^^ that should read Industrializations and NOW Computerization. :( Preview..

In almost seems like those in power think you have to lower rights to the lowest common denominator in order to offer them to everybody.
I'd say its more along the lines that most everyone now finally has equal rights, but those rights (for those that have them) have been significantly diminished over the course of this countries history.
