I bet those new 3-D type printers could perform the same thing without using razor blades and such. In fact, you could probably make a computer program to transfer from images to the final "printout."
I agree. As long as our representatives in Congress and the Senate are in the pockets of media companies, all of these types of court battles will mean nothing in the future. So ones only option is to vote, voice your concerns to your elected officials, and then become incredibly cynical after realizing that they don't really care- since most of their constituents don't care either.
Apathy in the USA. I really don't know what its going to take to wake up our country to reality. Being outnumbered 200% by illegal aliens? A large percentage of US citizens living on the street? Collapse of Social Security? Other countries no longer buying our T-Bills? Our currency worth 5% of a Euro? Who knows?
The IOC and the ISPCA are very worried about the Chinese government's plan to shoot down all pigeons as a means to prevent illegal communication to the outside word via carrier birds. Said Li Chung, a government representative- "We thought of putting a giant net over the whole province, but it would just enhance the perception of mass pollution in the area."
to discuss ways to combat Martian terrorism. President Bush said "The War on Martian Terrorism" has just begun. Billions will be needed for various agencies to fight against the interplanetary menace.
Sorry, but I'm going all vinyl. So music files in my computer are of little importance. I love looking around in used record stores, occasionally finding some gems on the cheap.
1. Using a crappy law firms 2. Using unlicensed PI's to supposedly download songs 3. Using a business model from 50 years ago in a post Y2K world 4. Not figuring out for years how to make money off of music the old fashioned way- by earning it through new ways of distribution, not by suing people. 5.

and people had the same doubts. However, I don't know if they spoiled their employees or not, or how thrifty they were in general, but it did seem to take them a while to get their act together as a search engine.
Doesn't this affect ATT's common carrier status? They are doing it as the customer agreed to in the contract, but does that mean anything at all? Whether by contract or not, they are still filtering the 3G network. I am curious what the statutes on the matter really say. It seems like the same situation as ISPs suddenly not liking USENET anymore, or deep inspection of packets on some networks.
If the practice becomes widespread one would wonder if the contract was even valid, as then it would be just like shrink wrap licenses where its David vs. Goliath, a collusion of companies. Thus, you have no choice to agree to it, as there is no other alternative so you are really signing under some sort of coercion.
and its been one and one half years since they turned off my service for being a deadbeat- which had earlier led to me selling my real camera in order to pay for the last couple of months. You know it doesn't take half bad pictures, but what baffles me is where did they put the tripod mount?
My brother, a University professor, who had a big laser laboratory, covered all the walls with plywood. What happens is that when a strong laser beam hits the wood, the glue vaporizes and spreads out the beam so its rendered much less concentrated. The cheapest laser defense in the world.
I have Vista Ultimate and SPI with FreeBSD 7.0 release as a dual boot and I have no problems. It a relatively new laptop. I use FreeBSD's bootloader which indicates Vista as "?."
Ones interested in engineering and or computer science mostly want to go to Berkeley. They could care less about Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. I have never asked any of them to give me a prioritized list, but they seem to like the West Coast. And I know why.
My brother was back in Cambridge, MA 4 years ago shuttling around my nephew who was interviewing at Universities. He says the town is like an upscale slum. I can kind of picture it, but can't really describe the scenes he was referring to.
I'm sorry I don't have the reference as it was a long time ago, but there was a dire warning about being in front of VHF yagi's operating at 144Mhz or so. Although 900Mhz might be the most absorbant at the skin level, the VHF frequencies penetrate into the body.
With the exception of Atmel and Rabbit Semiconductor, I don't know of any other company that either gives away free C compilers or offers them cheaply along with the evaluation boards. Its kind of crazy to buy a $.50 cpu, but pay $2000 for a compiler. Thats why for a long time the 8086, 80286, and later incarnations were used frequently as the cpu on industrial control system boards- and experimenters boards. All you needed was Borland Turbo C, and you could accomplish many things. So like you say, I guess the current Sofware Industry really is the culprit- sigh.
Most of them (and perhaps their neighbors) have been in high RF fields for as many years as they have been licensed. I remember my station was on the second floor, so an AC safety ground was easy, but an RF ground was only possible at the lowest of frequencies. In fact if the ground wire is 1/4 wavelength long, it looks like an open circuit. So I used to have many problems where I would touch my equipment and get a very minor RF burn "ouch."
Moreover, in these cases, the exponential nature of EM fields with distance does not apply as energy appears at the station as well as at an antenna that might be far away.
I do have to note, that most of these problems have occurred in the 1.8Mhz to 50Mhz specturm, perhaps in the worst case only a 17th of the frequency that cell phones operate on. But hams have also routinely used UHF handheld transcievers for many many years, which is much more comparable to the cellular situation.
I don't know of any study relating ham radio to cancer, but then probably no one has ever studied it. But the national ham organization, the ARRL, http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/rfexpose.html, has been increasingly warning about potential hazards to hams, which I think is a good thing as it least in encourages proper technical practices.
Back in the mid 1980s during that chip recession, companies turned to "Customer Service" to differentiate themselves from the competitors, as common integrated circuits were averaging a penny per pin, so there wasn't much profit unless you had a big presence and focused on ASICs and cranked them out fast enough that the competitors couldn't keep up. So there was some humility in the high tech business back then. And the recession affected not only chip makers but every company that used them. Too much inventory.
But now I think the companies that survived the dot com crash have become incredibly arrogant. They never seem to learn from history despite others losing everything as they went out of business. They don't care about customers since they think they are invincible after surviving. Well history doesn't play very well for that attitude. Once you are on top, the only place to go is down. Witness Microsoft.
What a bunch of BS. Here in Oregon, the cops outright murdered a number people by using excessive force. One was just peeing on the sidewalk and ran away. Officers chased him, caught him, and beat him so severely that it killed him. Several others were mildly psychotic and instead of just tackling them or using a taser, they shot them dead.
A few years ago a person known to the police to be unarmed was fired at by 21 rounds of bullets as he ran away. Amazingly none of the bullets hit him. And if you are in a car and try to get away, the officers will later say that they were afraid that they were going to be hit by the car and killed, so they sprayed 50 rounds of bullets into the car as self defense.
This kind of stuff goes on all over the US. Its not just local to here.

go into every (not sure) home, etc in Palo Alto? And now its experimental? Another example of more brain dead telecom companies.

I am very curious whether some similar type of exploit could be used on YouTube uploads. Well, I guess we'll know soon.

So I can convert it one file with a bunch of simple text config lines.
e.g. DRM_enable="NO"
Windows-Firewall_enable="NO"
Office-2007_reduce_to_sane_options="100"
Crash_screen_color="PURPLE"
XP_driver_compat="YES"
and so on, kind of like a really long rc.conf file.
are belong to us. Or something like that. its only slightly funny to me any more. A Simpsons reference is always more appropriate.

and bring that cooling around to that cupholder thing on the side of my laptop, I could keep my beer cool as well while I'm downloading pr0n.
