down around the courthouse, they have some terms for mutts who don't learn and keep on doing the same crimes.
the classy term is "recidivist."
of the others, we can probably safely post "weasel," "snake," "bastard," "crook," and "lowlife."
HDTV is around the bend, and I'm remodelling the basement soon to accomodate its new wiring requirements. Sony, the snake-in-a-box company, is not going to be a part of this undertaking.
our telecom outfit had ship issue after ship issue and RMA issue after RMA issue, before we finally got a tech advisory that the vendor was shyt outta luck, and use sealed lead-acid for field replacements.
which will probably improve reliability immensely.
if you have any, seriously consider replacing them with non-incendiary technology.
and isn't it curious how we can still find ways to play Edison cylinders, decode stone heiroglyphs, communicate at the edge of the solar wind with a handful of transistors ruggedized and wired in very conservative circuits...
and we can't find a drive to read a 5-1/4 inch floppy in? can't play a Betamax tape?
good enough is good enough, you don't have to spend a billion on a whole new infrastructure to get one project done.
sad, but true. since Bronfman bought 'em (well, most, somehow the original owner always seems to maintain a significant position in the business that disgusted them these days,) universal music has been a pox. snarling and cheering on the RIAA attacks, moaning about wanting a fee from the music player industry, wanting to charge a premium for the songs from the latest manufactured limited-time "band."
it may or may not be noteworthy to consider that Bronfman had the Seagrams liquor business almost whole, and sold out of that proven profit generator because it wasn't cool enough for him. of course, the sin business remains constant, because you got to sin to be saved... while the whole foundation shift under the entertainment industry should have told any credible analyst that the old business models were invalid.
in short, universal is a tantrum a day looking for a place to attract attention, and today's foot-stomper is iTunes. they're running away from the proven viable moneymaker that roiled the industry. I assume they'll resort to the old-time business juicer of re-issuing back CDs with new jackets, and costing two bucks more than last year.
seems like a datacenter of these things would singlehandedly trigger global warming.
in other news the other day, d'ja see in the trade rags that they have cyclical power outages in the NSA area of Fort Meade, VA, due to the oversized demands of (classified) computing power?
but any silliness about "giving up copyright" is going to doom it.
she should just plain flat out stick with the illegal detainer, malicious prosecution, and corrupt organization charges and press for fines equal to all that has been spent on these evil tactics. and a permanent restraining order prohibiting the nonsense that the riaa and its spies/lies surrogate have been doing.
jail time is worth asking for, although it won't happen.
it's called "fair use provision of the copyright act."
if the President owns his original licensed media, and maintains it in his ownership, he has the legal right to make a million copies if he wants for his own personal use, provided he uses only one of them at a time, and gives none away.
so the President has set a high moral standard for all Americans by copying his own music to his own iPod.
now, can YOU claim to have done the same? if not, time's a wastin', there are gigabytes to fill yet. start ripping today!
get licenses and build the darn thing. the lawyers will be able to find out the terms and refer them to the business side guys. they will add up what the licenses cost and see if the product can make any money. if not, it won't happen.
if it can, then they'll have the engineers do further development and probably also try to whittle the licensing fees down some.
if it gets ugly... well, you know the Stages Of Rejection. a project can die at any stage for any sensible or nonsensical reason.
it gets better if your guys have a few patents or patents pending on this device. then you can ratchet the fees down a bit by cross-licensing your patents to the other guys.

"shoot."
lots of that going around lately.
the public's business is PUBLIC, you pinhead appointees. deal with it.
all New Yorkers will get their scheduled 10 hour stay at Riker's Island in the mail tomorrow.
don't laugh, Pittsburgh, you're next.

nobody is buying your line any more. prepare for impeachment.
all he's doing is going off to hide in cowboy land. Rove will still be telling Bush when to breathe.
option (1) because the astronauts sure do.
option (2) hic
option (3) your joke here
there is a subculture in NASA of pure antisocial losers hiding out as ubertechs at contractors. one flipped and cut a bunch of wires is how I see it.
guess this means Bert Rutan has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams, and The Establishment has come around to his way of thinking.
this also has the faint smell of "NASA can't cut it any more, their memoes all blow up."
heh, don't send airhead PIs to mess with a little old lady who got through a level-5 hurricane. they're out of their league.
only very slightly because I work for one. mostly because I wouldn't want to be tied to EDGE.
before the big bang.

which will be a complete laugher.

no hassle, works fine, no craptastic stories to tell.
