Wow out here on the east coast, Karaoke had a big upswing. I can tell you where you can go any night to find it. I think Guitar Hero and Rock Band may have had much to do with the karaoke comeback. Unfortunately good live music seems to be suffering. All anyone is hiring these days are cover bands and DJ's. The lack of interest in anything original is very depressing.
HA, many "Karaoke Labels" had no rights to a lot of the songs they added to their cd+g's. It is not difficult to create a CD+g either, the software to attempt vocals removal is pretty pervasive. I bet you can find more tools for creating a karaoke cds or mp3s then you can find for playing them. This niche market was mostly built up by piracy.
what makes you think treaties carry the same weight as the Constitution. You really think you can use a treaty to make an end run around the amendment process. I am sorry, but those sections that go against the Constitution either invalidate the treaty or are held as unenforceable.
I call crap. I have recieved one of those and all that bs about the file calling back and reporting you is total crap. What happened is that persons ip got noticed because they violated the copyrights owners rights. Cox was then issued a DMCA request against that user. Cox was following the law and not doing anything creepy or wrong. That is why your submission will never get posted.
It tells you in the notice why your DNS was rerouted and what you have to do to restore it.
great something people want when ever gets better. Vanity is not a need, and the rich will pay for it. but I promise you if you have a rare disease they will say the costs outweigh the benefits, and you are sol. But hey that's Free Market for ya, it's not wrong, but it is wrong for medicine.
Wow since you based your entire rant on a misconception it really was hard to read. ISP's are not common carriers, or do that want to be. They are labeled ESPs (Enhanced Service Providers). This gives them certain protections but does not limit them from choosing what services they offer. The owners of the actual lines are common carriers but the ISPs, the ones offering services on those lines, are not.
It is a myth that ISPs are common carriers, if they were then the safe harbor provision of the DMCA would be redundant. Please stop spreading this myth and to those who modded you informative please learn the law.
We really need a mod for flat out wrong. This is not insightful as no ISP is considered a common carrier, The correct term for this types of service providers is Enhanced Service Providers (ESP).
"Enhanced service, essentially, is defined as everything else. This is the category of Internet Service Providers. In order to devise a bright line test, the Commission determined that where a service is offered with any level of enhancement, it is generally considered an enhanced service:
For the purpose of this subpart, the term 'enhanced service' shall refer to services, offered over common carrier transmission facilities used in interstate communications, which employ computer processing applications that act on the format, content, protocol or similar aspects of the subscriber's transmitted information; provide the subscriber additional, different, or restructured information; or involve subscriber interaction with stored information.
Examples of enhanced services include Internet access service, online service, computer bulletin boards, video dialtone, voice mail, electronic publishing, and others. The mere fact that a network is packet-switched does not necessarily mean that it is an enhanced service. "
I would but they are all in jail. I mean honestly, organized crime is a much smaller player then it ever used to be. Its hard to compete with the government sanctioned criminals.
I am sorry about you crying because I never said anything about 20 minutes. And yes I am very good at what I do. But a wipe reinstall has one glaring side effect that you failed to tell the client. All their software needs to be reinstalled. That copy of photoshop they got from "work" is now gone, as is their Office, and DVD software, etc...
If you are gonna hand them their computer back with just windows on it expect an irate phone call in a few hours.
really you think RI is only 40 square miles? Please stop talking as you know absolutely nothing about my state. It is a small state but it is actually about 1500 square miles.

>Not ONCE did they say "Oh dear, we are losing money, we should stop this crazy thing and act like human beings"
Actually I beg to differ. I would say they acted exactly like human beings. Probably the main reason a completely free market will fail. You can't trust man to think of the greater good as his pesky self interest will almost always get in the way.
Are you serious??? Oh I guess cuz it's on the internet Common Carrier must be involved. Look read up on what constitutes common carrier status and stop mentioning it until you understand.

Doesn't the fact that Vista'a drivers work on Win 7 really show us that this is nothing more than Microsoft selling us Service Pack 2?
I was feeling more like fava beans, and maybe a nice chianti.

and I would have to say nor do you.
great Britney's director gets to ruin a mediocre but original plot.

Don't blame Cox for the users actions.
Granted I did not read the article but from the blurb it sounds more like QoS than true throttling.
I tried, no links were working for me. Can we please start using more than one source in our submissions.

to a lot of people yes.
the disparity between the haves and have-nots is more noticeable the lower you are on the ladder.

So can we please stop this misinformation.

Hell, this is America, we can always make more jails.

if all you end up doing is reinstalling windows then maybe you should be in a different line of work.
