I lived in Spain for a year, spoke/read very little spanish when I moved there and read alot of x-men comic books. They did help me pick up vocabulary and common expressions and such. Anyone who things that any form of reading cannot help just due to it's content is just being prejudicial against the material.
IANAL and as such can't speak to the legalities, however if I find that there is a company using this approach to misrepresent the products that I spend my dollars on, they will NEVER get another cent from me again.
want the internet that they pay for to not carry advertising at all. The other 5% haven't figured out that they are paying to have advertising sent to them, unlike junkmail which the advertisers pay for.
Not sure where you live, but in this country as the parent I am responsible for the teenager's actions. Until he's 18, if I want to know how he's driving the family vista cruiser, I'll put a camera in it. Same with gps on his cell phone, I don't use it but if I need it and it's there, I'll use it.
What I find most amazing about this whole thing is that Jobs keeps repeating the same mistakes that made Apple the #2 computer maker in the world (as opposed to #1). Apple computers have always had this 'elitest' mentality, more expensive, insufficient quantity of freely available applications due to a closed hardware standard. Meanwhile the IBM compatible cleaned up not due to superior product but openly replaceable components and a variety of applications that could be traded, installed, hacked, improved, etc. . . ..
I personally couldn't care less about the iPhone, but I do own a touch and the ability to use a variety of "non-blessed" apps makes it a more useful device as there is a greater variety of things that CAN be done with it. Remember the old BBS days? You could cruise the different file download areas and oh all the wonderful little trinkets you could find and do with your pc? My touch is starting to become the same way. A truly easy to use portable computer.
Will someone please explain to me why something that took place on US soil and was presumably committed by a US citizen falls under the jurisdiction of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to investigate?
I use a combination of a portable wiki/notefrog & network notepad. Network Notepad allows for a simple visual reference (with the CDP portion as well) and the portable wiki I carry on my flashdrive. I've started using Notefrog and one day may move all my data to it.
You inferred my attitude from a simple statement. As a 20 year veteran in the IT trenches, I can tell you that very few of my users would know what an.iso file is, YOU interpreted the statement as an insult which is not how it was intended.
My users know a great deal of things that I don't understand, business management, hr practices, clinical management, etc, their lack of knowledge regarding computer systems is no way an insults or negative reflection on their intelligence.
Don't assume my 'attitude' through a single line of text.
So, if they were for her boyfriend, how did these 'authorities' find out about them? Did they intercept them or break into her computer to find them? Smells like a dmca violation in there some where.
I'm more concerned that the article seems to feel that it's the school's responsibility to deal with my children's sexual habits. IT'S NONE OF THEIR F&^%(%@n business in my opinion!
don't care, then the governmental "authorities" will continue to do this kind of nonsense. Frankly anyone living in those states should be sitting on the front steps of the local courthouses in an effort to bring sanity back to the system.
The laws are supposed to protect abuse of children, not get in the way of the progress of normal sexual development.
Does teen masturbation now count as a sex act with a minor? Even if it's yourself?? Holy s&^*! we'd have to give every teen out there a criminal record!
Oh, wait, these are the same people that think telling kids not to have sex will stop teen pregnancy (shhhhhhhhhhhh, let's not educate them, let's just tell them to not experience normal sexual development!) If these people had their way, our entire country would endup like a bunch of 20-30 something mormons, uptight and clueless about their own sexuality!
I digress, the point was that if the local leadership is prosecuting "crimes" and the local population supports their actions, then I guess it's what the people want. . . . by the people, for the people. Personally, if it were in my town, it would jumpstart my own political activity.
*sigh*

go down that path that will eventually make me cancel my cable tv. After rtfa, it's pretty clear that they are intentionally telling their old guard, true blue fans to GET BENT! Yes, I've ignored the wrestling and the fact that I'm watching fewer and fewer shows on that channel, but up until today I've held the mantra that "sci-fi is why I still have cable". Seems that if 'sci-fi' isn't there any more and it's this 'siffy' thing, I guess that's the final straw.
I'll probably wait til BSG ends, but I suppose if someone can tell me where I can watch it streamed, maybe not. I hadn't really realized that I was only watching it on Friday nights, but I guess that's accurate . . . . let's see $50 a month for a channel that I only watch 4 nights a month. Put's it into perspective. . . . .
the survival rate of children through age 11 has ALSO increased dramatically since the 60's. I guess the rest of the severe asthmatics just aren't dying off like they used to either. I suppose that means that medical science has improved a bit in the last 50 years?
The question is what do you want the computer (or appliance) to be able to do after that four second boot? All the supporting software to do all the whizbang stuff (games, graphics, etc) takes time to load.
I decided awhile back that I simply wanted a device that I could power up quickly, surf the web, check email, oh, and had to be portable. Just last month I got such a device. It powers on instantly, finds and connects to wi-fi rapidly, the browser opens quickly, etc. It does exactly what I needed it to do. It's an IPOD Touch. First Apple product I've ever owned, so I'm not exactly an Apple advocate, but it does the bloody job.
So, back to the OP, I'll ask the same question that I ask every person who comes up and asks me what kind of computer they should get. . . . . what do you want it to do?
After RTFA I can't find ANYWHERE that there is a photo contest currently running! The one that is references is from like 4 years ago! BS detector just went off loud and clear.
Many years ago I was told by someone to "do what you love, that makes it not work, because you enjoy what you do" (badly paraphrased). I took that advice very literally and fell in love with working with computers at a very early age.
I've been in my field for 19 years and still don't see myself burning out anytime soon. I enjoy the challenge, the variety, etc. The worst part of my job is working with people who are in the field because they 'fell into it', or just do it to make money. They're usually always in a hurry for the quick fix, or really couldn't care less about providing true value and service to their customers (y'know the type, really hates end-users, etc).
In my last interview, the interviewer made the point that he prefers to hire individuals who truly enjoy working with technology and not do it just because it's their job, but have a desire to learn and continuously develop new ways of doing things.
I can't argue the last paragraph at all. Except to say that from your perspective I must be one of those few people that makes money doing what I love.
Now if I could only figure out a way to only do it six months a year so I could spend the other six hiking across Europe.:)
Oh, you mean how having a christian testimony in order to be employed by Focus on the Family or who knows how many other "christian" organizations require?

IANAL, but if the person in question is not a UK citizen, does the UK law, which says the injunction can be sent by fax or email, apply?

"Most people" that confirms it, most people ARE stupid!
Anybody want to invest in gold? Send me money, I'll send you a piece of paper, trust me, it's safe with me.
I use a combination of a portable wiki/notefrog & network notepad. Network Notepad allows for a simple visual reference (with the CDP portion as well) and the portable wiki I carry on my flashdrive. I've started using Notefrog and one day may move all my data to it.
but if I were you I'd seek the advice of Justin Frankel or Shawn Fanning. :)

Trust me, Joe User does not know what an .iso file is, nor would he know how to use one.
Ok, how bout this, Vista is as slow as molasses in January on anything other than the latest and greatest hardware and tons of memory.
Prove innocence? Doesn't the prosecution have to prove guilt?
So, if they were for her boyfriend, how did these 'authorities' find out about them? Did they intercept them or break into her computer to find them? Smells like a dmca violation in there some where.

My "new car" better come with the newest equipment. Now if I bought a used car, I'd expect to pay for a couple upgrades.
and you may get a relevant answer.
