There are a couple of problems with what they are doing here.
#1 Illegal wire tap: I use my internet connection for both telephone and mail. That being the case deep packet inspection is both opening my mail and tapping my phone line. There are many federal laws broken here.
#2 Disclosure of CPNI: There are FCC regulations and mandates about sharing customer proprietary network information without consent. Your ISP needs your consent to share network usage data with a 3rd party. I have received no communication or notice from my ISP.
Here is the form you can use to file an FCC privacy complaint:
If we get a large number of people making formal complaints against their ISPs for breech of privacy the FCC will be at the very least annoyed. They might even do something about it if we are lucky. This can be used as the groundwork for the upcoming court battles I envision.
"Nuclear first strike"? It's a counter-measure. I'm so sick of people using war rhetoric inappropriately. There is no "nuclear cookie blocker" and there is no "war on Christmas". There are no bombs going off and nobody is dying in the streets. This statement makes me want to bomb the corporate office of an ad agency so they have something to complain about*. Might stop the spam for a week too.
*This user does not support the actual use of explosives to make a point. Bombs are not educational tools and should be used responsibly. We now return to your regularly scheduled flame war.
When it comes to memory you always want the good stuff.
There are many reasons why. #1 Buying high end cards pushes the market in that direction. I don't think they should make slow chips anymore. #2 It makes the experience better. In almost every application. Loading, unloading, device performance. Each device will have limitations but you should seek to maximize the potential. #3 Memory is cheap. The fast cards are available on-line for the same price as the slow cards in the store. #4 I forgot what #4 is but I'm sure there are more reasons.
Cheers! The green party is farther left than the Democrats.
"The political terms Left and Right were coined during the French Revolution (1789–1799), referring to the seating arrangement in the Estates General: those who sat on the left generally opposed the monarchy and supported the revolution, including the creation of a republic and secularization,[5] while those on the right were supportive of the traditional institutions of the Old Regime. Use of the term "Left" became more prominent after the restoration of the French monarchy in 1815 when it was applied to the Independents."
Your misplaced self assurance is unsettling at best. I'm honestly surprised that preemptively attacking the next challenging statement has worked for you this long on Slashdot. I will dare to disagree with both your solution and the assertion that there is no other intelligent point of view. You must be a troll because nobody would actually believe this. I will now take the troll bait for a run. Keep out signs are an invitation to trespass. It makes the trespass more appealing. Saying "Can't" and "Don't" are challenges often met with much vigor. Some people go out of their way to do drugs in the "Drug Free Zone". Although it would be nice if your solution was viable I must inform you that the world you live in does not work the way you think it should. To be enlightened you must first understand the world around you.
People are deported every day. There are measures to keep them out. How much money are you willing to spend on this issue? It's actually a drop in the bucket compared to all the jobs that we outsource. Most people are okay with Mexicans taking the lowest paying jobs in the country. I think that it's the six-figure engineering and programming jobs that most Americans are mad about losing. It's a difference along orders of magnitude. You have made it obvious that you are a hateful person who makes assumptions about situations based on erroneous preconceived notions. Your skewed worldview doesn't take in to account that greed rules over all in this dog eat dog system. The fact that business owners claim higher profits from illegal labor means that no amount of proposed policy can fix the situation. Bow to the almighty dollar and pray that your livelihood isn't the next to go overseas. Even though it would be fitting for you to be forced in to the job market to compete with the global economy I would not wish it upon you. You should be able to learn the truth about our current situation without seeing it firsthand. Then again, maybe no one is safe.
I'm not sure what country you live in but there are more people than jobs in America. Perhaps you live in a magical land where there are employers who are actively looking for workers. Around here, most employers have hundreds of applicants per job posted. Forget the "unemployment" statistics talked about in the news lately. The Employment-to-population ratio in America for people aged 18-65 in 2012 was 67.1% which is up 0.4% from 2010. This leaves 32.9% of Americans without work. We are talking about 9.5 million people here. You can deduct the few people who retire early and some housewives. Forget about the homeless who don't appear in the US census (you need an address to get counted as an American).
The bottom line is that there simply isn't enough jobs to go around. You sit back in your warm home and talk about these hypothetical jobs that are "beneath" the 9 million Americans without work. It's insulting and ignorant. As technology progresses we will be able to do more work with even less people. There will be no more lawns left to mow when all the houses are foreclosed on. Not to mention that the illegal aliens at the hardware store are willing to work for less than minimum wage thus ruining the market for legitimate contractors but that's another story.
This happened to me in an old GMC van. The carburetor had some rust where the throttle linkage connected to the actuator. Tapping the gas pedal would make it speed up but not down. After stomping on the pedal a few times trying to get it lose I did just turn the key off and pull over. Luckily I had some oil with me at the time. The rust was visible. I just lubed it up nicely and worked out the rust. No problem. I don't like fly by wire cars. The idea of a non-physical link to your steering, braking and engine cut off is revolting. Sounds like suicide.
Not only that but the act itself is indeed fraudulent use of a computer system. They would become guilty themselves by exercising this software. What if their software captured copyrighted data? Ouroboros would eat his own tail!
One by one the 20th century systems will be proven ineffective and undone. The future has been a long time coming. I hope they don't delay it much further.
Is that a euphemism for a copy?
One of the great advances of the digital revolution was the ability to quickly share something numerous times. In the information age information is free. The fact that there is no cost associated with the copy above the overhead of the system should illustrate this point. To attempt to recapture the 20th century "waiting in line" experience is foolish at best. If you pretend that your digital goods are rare your customers will go elsewhere to obtain what they seek.
Let's first recognize that the "cell phone" is in fact a radio. Now imagine if the radio in your car was locked to one station and you had to buy a new radio in order to listen to a different radio station. Imagine if you had to buy a new TV when switching cable providers. It's absurd. I've always thought that people should be able to buy hardware of their choosing and use it wherever it is compatible.
These smartphones are little computers. I should be able to buy any hardware platform and load any OS on it. Then I should be able to go to any cellular ISP and install their radio/modem/SIM. (Note there are only 2 types of radio and 4 companies to chose from). It would be more expensive but there is no reason to make preposterous legislation around it.
2nd. This post is idiotic at best. Buying 2 batteries for your phone is what the salesman at the store has been telling you since 1992.
Tips #2 and #3 are actually the same tip. I would recommend mounting a screen instead of your phone/tablet. Then plug your phone/tablet in to said screen as needed. Benefits: More convenient and better screen size. If your phone/tablet can't output to a screen then you got the wrong device, try again.
You must secretly be an asshole, waiting for your day to shine. Power attracts certain dysfunctional personality types. It's not that good people are so rare but it is so rare that good people find themselves in powerful positions.
It doesn't depend on anything like that. If you broke a law in your land that is the law that applies. It doesn't matter if the TOS includes reference to a law. The TOS cannot change a law and should have no legal authority.
I think he was killed. The facts just don't seem to add up. He was a high functioning, successful individual. He showed an obvious desire to stand up to the establishment with his work against PIPA and SOPA. He plead "not guilty" to his upcoming court case and had raised money to fight the charge in court. Did he leave a suicide note? If he wasn't bumped off by federal goons then it could have been the MPAA. He had a lot of enemies.
Either way, He was a good man and we should remember him in a positive light.
I found it odd that this little blip state that Plutonium is in short supply. The reason we don't have a lot of it is because the US is actively destroying it's Plutonium reserves. There are countless patents for machines that destroy Plutonium. Here is an article about how the DOE is considering alternatives to destroying Plutonium, like using it for something constructive instead of making bombs.

Why is MS the one signing the bootloader in the first place? Shouldn't there be a neutral root authority like there is for any other certificate in the world? To make Linux developers ask Microsoft to sign their bootloaders sounds like a very clear conflict of interest.
he went on to say "The only thing we manufacture at U.S. facilities is the hate a greed required to continue pushing our sweatshops to new productivity levels."

Mr. Speaker, I'm afraid the council does not have any more funds left for magical thinking. We spent that allowance on the gun control bill.

Yes VirtualBox. It's quick and easy. Good support. Multi-platform. Competitive featureset. What more could you ask for?
