Why would you slap a single line atop someone's letter and send the entire thing back?
Because we can and bytes are cheap? Hiya! I promise I'm not trying to start a religious war over top-versus-bottom posting or the like, but I'm genuinely curious:
I save all emails. Always have. I can usually find a thread easily enough, but there are times when multiple people are in a thread and the subject gets manually mangled, so Outlook won't incorporate those in its "conversation" search. So having the whole thread, TOP-POSTED, makes it simple to quickly review what was said about whatever we were discussing. As long as the email client clearly marks each message's beginning, how hard is it to read the top one and only scan down if needed?
That said, I'm all for stripping out inline images on reply, and if the topic shifts I have no problem [snip] -ping out the completed thread to make room for the new one. Or if an email thread goes marathon and bounces more than like 10 times...
I'm going to give s.petry the benefit of the doubt here and assume their systems are tightly locked down and they have various antivirus / tripwire / ip rules in place. That said:
If someone got phished leading to trojan installation, *BAM* alerts go off in the NOC. If phishing led to credential leakage, eventual usage of the credentials by the outside attackers would set off alarms in the NOC, assuming we aren't dealing with valid external staff. If phishing led to credit card / invoicing info loss, unauthorized purchases would set off alerts in Finance.
This also assumes an environment where credentials are not shared (the norm everywhere I've ever worked and none of those were DoD postings). It also assumes that pretty much anything of power is tied 1:1 to a person so any kind of abuse (use off-hours or in excess of limits, etc.) would be detectable.
Hi Bill! First, I want to thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me! Second, I promise I'm not trying to be thick. I believe in my position and am using this back-and-to to clarify and refine my thoughts.
As to Aereo, I thought the core issue came down to the public performance threshold. Multicasting is in effect, a public performance, right? Requiring cumpulsory licensing?
If Aereo truly is private performance, bolstered by previously-approved technical measures like remote DVR, I don't get the issue other than the broadcasters aren't getting paid for something they have to give away already.
The original purpose of a cable TV system was to provide reception of OTA broadcasts to areas [...]
I get this part. But the difference I see is that the CATV operator is taking a good OTA signal and MULTICASTING that signal to whomever wants to tune to that channel out of the total channels in the pipe. Aereo is NOT multicasting - they're maintaining a one-to-one relationship between a received OTA signal and the user tuned to it. Only one channel's signal is in Aereo's feed to the customer at any given time. Unicast, as it were.
Again, they do the same sort of thing a CATV does, but by aggregating several discrete receptions across several discrete connections. This to my IANAL eyes is why Aereo should have been allowed to continue until someone changed laws regarding OTA reception and access.
I'll be honest here - I didn't read the "Cablevision" decision validating third-party DVR operation on the behalf of a customer. But what it says to me is that Aereo is taking a legal, single OTA broadcast reception, storing it in a third-party DVR and making it available to a customer who is already entitled to that OTA broadcast by being in-market.
I *still* don't see how any of what they did violated the LETTER of the law. And as Number 1.0 said, technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Maybe what I need to see is this clarified: Could I, as a New Yorker, rent a rooftop in the city, put up an antenna and run a wire to my ground floor apartment several blocks over? If the answer is yes, then why can't Aereo do the same thing on my behalf? Where does it say I have to OWN the antenna and transmission medium versus RENT?
If Volvo takes this idea and adds it to their already-lengthy safety feature list, Ed will need a new car. Cos it will assume a cadaver is trying to drive and not let him zoom around town...
If their history is any indication though, it'll be in Beta for months or years. More than enough time to breed a resistance, develop time travel, and send someone back to protect John.
Slingbox is very different. It's a personal device that does nothing but forward a single channel from your own cable box (or DirectTV receiver) to your current location.
Um, that's EXACTLY what Aereo was doing. A single antenna, tuned to a single broadcast, streamed to a single IN-MARKET user. My dad and I actually discussed this over the weekend. He sided with the broadcasters cos Aereo was for-profit. That was it. He agreed with me on the technical merits but disagreed Kanojia, Diller et. al. should be able to profit.
+1 for combining the two! How old are your kids and how are they liking the story so far? Have they tried reaching for their tattered copies of the Guide yet for clarification on things?
I tried two antennas, one powered and the other not. Neither picks up squat, even though I live in a large city (>1mil population in the MSA) and I'm supposedly within good range of the major affiliate towers. I was seriously jonesing for something like Aereo as local channels are all I really watch. I was so ready to cut the cord...
Ha, ha... I saw this yesterday but didn't get round to commenting then. Hope you see this ^^
There's a lot wrong with me actually. Only some of it is FF and/or MMO related. But that said, XI provided an online team-building experience I've yet to duplicate. People cared because they HAD to care. Not sure if any current / modern MMOs require such closeness.
Progressive's been offering Snapshot, an OBD-II dongle you plug in and allow to monitor your driving. They get the data periodically and can give you discounts for safe driving.
Bet they can also up your rates for "normal" driving too!
I played FFXI for 5 years and switched to XIV when Beta III opened (the first phase I could join as I only have a PS3 and no PC). While the art style's general realism versus WoW's colorful palettes appeals to me, I wouldn't say it has a perceptible effect on maturity.
Honestly, since the PS4 client went live in February, I'd say the otherwise higher maturity level has dipped. And I'm saying that as a PS4 player lol. My biggest gripe is the ability of a committed player to solo or PUG almost anything in the game, meaning relationships of trust and teamwork aren't required as they were in XI or older WoW. There's your maturity issue - anyone can be a childish jerk because they can just reform the party or queue up for a random assignment...
Hm. I've seen the same "TSA gets to go tech shopping" sentiment several times here. But one question - wouldn't anyone who had their phone taken report it as stolen and get the IMEI flagged as bad?
Yes, I get that we're talking about The Gub'mint here but do you really think AT&T, Verizon, et al are gonna let the TSA sticky-fingers activate stolen phones? Assuming they don't have the NSA making the activation request on their behalf?
Simple. Many of us don't get paid lunches and for me at least, the nearest branch or ATM is nearly a mile from where I work. On foot, at good speed, that would take about half an hour just for the walk. And given that we're in summer here, I'd be a wreck when i got back to work.
So, a half hour or so not eating and not getting paid. *That's* what's wrong.
How often do you need cash? I assume you mean more than 5 bucks? I'm interested in how other people handle banking nowadays.
On average, more of my ATM visits are to DEPOSIT checks, not take money out. And my credit union just rolled out mobile depositing, so there's that done. Generally, if I need cash less than $50, I just grab it when I check out at Target or the grocery store. No fees, no extra trip. Though your supermarket visits may be less frequent than ours - we seem to go go about once a week to keep the 3 kids fed.
But even then, none of my bills are paid by cash - all but one are autopay or e-pay. And everywhere we go for fun or business takes debit or credit. Cash is for the odd times I need a soda at work (cash only)...
Googled the code, read link; still confused. Aereo's conceit was that each antenna / paid stream was a single performance to a single person. I don't see what your line regarding the antenna wire passing any number of anybodies has to do with it.
I'm no Supreme, but I saw it like this. Am I allowed to receive OTA broadcasts in my market? YES. Am I allowed to time (see Betamax) and place shift (see Cablevision) my reception? YES.
Is the real issue that Aereo made money off this rather than me personally finding a nice rooftop and willing landlord to put my own antenna on? I'm so disappointed by this...

But that won't stop them making another sequel to the "zoo animals on safari" movie!

I really hope you're doing this in a well-ventilated area and/or using low-dust litter! But points for ingenuity!

I think I love you, AC! Assuming this was a Contact reference ^^
Seriously? One bit of cheeky slang and you reduce the information value of my post to nothing?
Oh well. I don't mind YHBT moments that much...

Came for this; leaving satisfied.

Well, depends on your definition of voluntary.
Because, after all, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Or their comfy chair!
