free college tuition for US math, science, and engineering majors conditional upon working or teaching in the field for at least four years.
I agree with the free tuition for teaching, but for not working. Of course, I take no responsibility for the poor qualiity of uninterested teachers that we will be turning out.
I do think there are people willing to upgrade, but the format war holds some back.
DVD You can buy a good player for under $100. Some even have HD upconversion for that price. You can buy a cheap DVD player for $15. Everyone rents and new movies sell for $15.
HD-DVD $300 min for a player. $25-$35 for a movie. Blu-Ray $450 min player, $25-$30 for a movie. Combo player $1000
The investment cost is enough that people don't want to pick the wrong format. If they would have settled on one format, more people would be buying even with the higher price point.
People actually don't respond negatively to advertising. They respond negatively to intrusive advertising. When I search with Google, those ads don't bother me and I have clicked on them. Now, if it was an ad that swooped down and covered the search results, I'd be annoyed and use a different search engine.
When I worked retail sales, you could tell what the tv ads were without seeing them because they work. People would come in and say I want to see the product in your ad. Whatever was in the ad, you would see a spike in customer interest and sales.
I've also seen plenty of people flip channels, turn the station, etc. and say "I hate that ad". When I ask what ad, they say "I don't know because I change it when that annoying ad comes on"
The problem is how do they know that they own the copyright to the files.
I have a mp3 file in my shared folder called rehab.mp3. This file is a copyrighted audio recording of my friend talking about rehab. RIAA using false pretext (and possibly violating the terms of use of the network) download this song. They check it and realize it is not the file they thought.
RIAA downloaded copyrighted material without the creator's permission.
I think I just figured out step 3.
1. Make audio recording 2. Put in shared folder 3. ???? 4. Profit!
This is a lot different. Before bankofamrica.com had to set up a website then send out email. Halfway smart people wouldn't click on the link because they'd be wondering why their bank is emailing them. Now, I can set up joesfreeporn.com with a fake sign-in. If you're used to going to a lot of sites(bobsfreeporn.com and mikesfreeporn.com), using the sign-in isn't going to throw up a red flag at all.
The signon form should only be on one secured site, not added to any site.
How would that be determined? People changed file extension, compress, and do a million other different things. A smart kid would have a Linux flash drive or live cd and bypass anything their parents put on the computer anyways.
The big problem I have with these "protect the artists" groups is who actually gets the money. If I have an internet radio station that only plays Wham!, why should any other artist get paid a random amount of money. Dammit, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley should get paid! SoundExchange, Klaus Meine, Calvin Broadus, Jr, and Amy Winehouse should keep their hands to themselves.
In this day and age, computing costs by individual song played shouldn't be a big deal.

I was going to play around with Joomla! and SMF, but the bridge had been discontinued.
For those who wonder why we have had to come to such a decision, we have had input from both the Joomla! project and the FSF directly, and it is the stance of both Joomla! and the FSF that the use of a bridge into a GPL-licensed system constitutes the creation of a combined work. This forced us to reconsider our development of the bridge and look for ways we could accomplish the task while still respecting the licensing of both projects. Ultimately, that proved impossible. When discussing with the FSF, they stated that the bridge and SMF would fall under the GPL license, and there is no workaround.
I didn't see it as a combined work, and I wanted the functionality to play around with so I caved and went with Mambo. (I use IceWeasel if that's any consolation)
While it is fairly easy to use, the way the default homepage is sorta hardwired was a little bit of an issue. As stated in other posts, the differences between components, modules, and even mambots isn't obvious or explained. Templates and layouts aren't hard to adjust if you're used to using CSS, though better doc in the default css pages would be helpful.
Sidenote: I had some issues with the bridge, but got it worked out. The instructions seemed to have left out a few things to check.
I went to reinstall Windows XP Home on a Compaq computer with a lost disk. It had the sticker, but they had lost the disk. I used a generic OEM disk to reinstall instead. The automatic activation failed. Checked my number and I reinstalled thinking something was corrupted. The automatic activation failed again. I called Microsoft to activate. They said it wouldn't validate and they wouldn't help me since it was OEM and to call my manufacturer.
Needless to say, I played with it. YMMV 1. clicked on the phone call option 2. clicked on the change product key 3. re-entered product key 4. tried the internet activation again and it worked

Bottom line, I have no problem with this technology if safeguards are in place and it makes the streets a safer place to walk.
Good then you'll have no problem submitting DNA(blood and hair sample), fingerprints, and psycholgical evaluation. Don't worry about a list of known associates since you will have video and sound recorders and gps surgically implanted. Don't worry, we'll use the same safeguards as the traffic system. Also please keep a journal of any thoughts you have.
Unless, of course, you have something to hide. This will make the streets safer after all. So do you agree?
I already commissioned Wesley Willis to write a theme song for Slashdot.
Me: We need a theme song for Slashdot. Wesley: How about "Suck a Pitbull's Dick"? Me: That's not what we were looking for. Wesley: What about "Suck My Dog's Dick"? Me: That's not much better. Wesley: Oh, you don't like songs about dogs, How about "Suck a Camel's Bootyhole"? Me: No. Wesley: "Suck a Caribou's Ass"? Me: No. Wesley: "Suck a Panda's Cock"? "Lick a Donkey's Ass"? Me: No. Wesley: "Taste a Gorilla's Ass"? "Taste a Lechwe's Ass"? "Suck a Jackrabbit's Ass" "Lick a Llama's Ass" Me: NO! No songs about sucking or licking or animal body parts. Wesley: How about "Eat That Mule Shit"?
We settled on one of the four: Your Mom Called Casper the Homosexual Friendly Ghost I'm Sorry That I Got Fat Kill Whitey
and you're stuck with one of those because Wesley's dead.
BS. BMI is the worst index ever. It does not take into account gender, bodyfat % and frame size. Here's examples without going into bodybuilders. A 5'11" guy is "normal" if he weighs 133lbs. If you add 40lbs of pure fat, he's still "normal". If the 5'11" guy is athletic and has a lean body mass of 155lbs and has 15% bodyfat, he's overweight. In case you haven't noticed, women tend to be built differently than guys too.
The place I work has started things like this. Besides smoking ($25 a paycheck), they've gone the opposite route and "reward" employees who have a "healthier" lifestyle. Same difference, but it makes a little better PR.
Science doesn't have to advance at a mind boggling rate. Collapse of civilization or strict government control can greatly hamper that rate or even reverse it. Colonizing a new planet can also be a setting where ultra advanced technology isn't used.
I've used their flashing background on a multi monitor setup and my co-worker wouldn't stop talking about it. Of course, most of the things they said weren't very nice.
Joins the "Firehose is hosed for IE6 at work club". I know there's always problems implementing a new system, but this should have never been published with these types of render issues.
AFAIK, Core 2 Solo was originally thought to be the step between between Core Solo and Core 2 Duo for desktop processors, but I don't believe Intel made these. Next month, Intel is supposed to be releasing ULV processors U2100 and U2200 which are supposed to be Core 2 Solo processors.
WORM devices are fine if you're talking about external compromise. Even paper documents are vulnerable to internal compromise. I've seen falsified paper documents. To guard against internal compromise, you usually look at remote data storage companies that you can only get a copy of the data if you need it back.
Google didn't want to buy the spectrum. They wanted to have access to the spectrum. Bidding was just a way to have some say in the issue. As a sidenote, it would possibly lower the price and might make it feasible for Google to buy. If Google owned the spectrum, they wouldn't have to have any stipulations, they could just allow free access to everyone.
I find it funny because the law is really trying to stop a couple of people around the world from camming a movie. They're going to mostly bust kids with cell phones and irritate normal customers.
