You're right, this isn't new, but now you have well known established companies doing it and a fairly recent natural disaster(Katrina). While Katrina didn't cause everyone to make plans, buy emergency supplies, etc. It is still memorable enough to make people take an easier step like electronically available medical records.
4. While the actual refueling takes time, getting off the highway and into the gas station would kill any "saved" fueling time. Whipping full speed into a gas station might also cause the police to get a few calls.
5. 31 hours riding a bike in all types of weather vs. 31 hours of sitting in a car with a copilot that you can switch with when you get tired.
While dangerous, 31 hours is amazing. Each minute he spent getting fuel was another minute, he had to do 180. OK, he didn't do 180, but you know what I mean.
$826M in taxes over $500M worth of high-tech imports? A comma in a list does not end the sentence.
The allegation is that Cisco brought at least $500M of equipment into Brazil without properly paying import duties, and now owes over $826M in taxes, fines, and interest.
With P2P, users are usually uploading aka distributing. There's not a good defense against that. If they catch someone downloading the content, you bring up issues like Fair Use, mistaken file identity, etc. I'm sure that some people would go buy a new CD then download it, hoping to get caught in order to bring a good court case concerning Fair Use into the public eye.
That's not correct. Jackson merged ATV with Sony to form Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC in 1995. Jackson then used 25% of the total (half of his half) as collateral for a secured loan with Sony in 2006. Different sources argue over whether copyright (not just publishing) was part of the ATV catalog(251 Beatles songs) I believe it is just publishing rights.
So it's probably been a EMI/Apple Corps/Beatles/Apple Computers/Sony/Michael Jackson sitdown with Sony and Michael Jackson playing a minor role.
Comment on Reuters - Olivia Harrison told Reuters in an interview in June that she hoped the Beatles' music would be put online by 2008, and Paul McCartney told trade publication Billboard earlier this year that an online deal for the group's catalogue was "virtually settled".
The answer was fine (I still like the base 13 idea even if Douglas didn't), but the Ultimate Question Of Life, the Universe, and Everything could be a little more Ultimate.
After being criticized about security, Microsoft has taken additional steps to shorten the time between when they advise a customer of a vulnerability and when it is fixed. Ballmer stated "This is a win for both the customer and Microsoft."
I'm one of the many that want a pre-installed operating system..............for other people. I don't want to setup operating systems for friends of friends, friends of relatives, relatives of friends, and so on. If they are not a computer geek, I would like to point them towards a pre-assembled system.
Car Analogy How many of you have built your own car from a pile of parts so you could drive? What!!! You bought a pre-built car! You disgust me.
What's the difference between a flying car and a driving plane?
I wouldn't a flying car like this one though for normal use. Right now, a bad door ding is just a dent. It's not a possible failure thousands of feet in the air.
The problem is that the article singles out Microsoft as the only one that should be unbundled. Apple should have to sell computers without an OS too. Also where do you start to draw the line with computers, pdas, cellphones as the lines start to blur?
Unbundling the OS makes a computer just hardware that can do very little on its own. A computer manufacturer also can't support every single OS out there. There are definite practices of Microsoft that need to be curtailed but unbundling only Windows (even unbundling all OSes)isn't the solution.
I also believe Microsoft should be able to bundle browser, firewalls, antivirus, media players, etc with their OS as long as they don't actively try to make other software not work. After all, cars come with pre-installed stereos and the after market stereo industry still makes money, though I have seen some car manufacturers that are making it harder for them.
Since Jesus apparently had other siblings, why do people still refer to his mother as virgin? Since Joe Jackson wore shoes, why do people still refer to him as Shoeless Joe Jackson?/sarcasm
The impression I got from the last/. article was that they hoped to that it would fly long enough to open the wings, but figured that it would not survive long, but just in case it did, they added 3 parachutes.
For one, I've bought used music and had to deal with scratches on CD.
Secondly, selling out of the used albums may indicate to record owners that there's demand for the full albums. 1. Where are you shopping? I've always been able to listen to the used CD before buying. When I want to buy the CD, I flip it over or have them show me that side before I buy. Depending on the CD, there might be multiple copies including a flawless one.
2. What? Second hand stores don't report their sales to the record companies. Even if they did, here's what they find out. People don't want to pay full price for that album.
Actually, this has been happening. People think they're computers are slow or old, etc. when a format and reinstall would bring them back to their "like new" speed. They usually want to upgrade to a larger LCD anyways so they buy a new system. If you don't want to do it yourself, computer "repair" costs add up quickly compared to buying new. The last computer I got was a 2.5 GHz and my parents got a 3.2GHz, both for free. Definitely, new enough that they don't belong in the garbage.
I accidently associated the 403 letters with the 403 error, and thought it was some geeky way of describing them, haha. 403 letter: Forbidden You may not download our musics!
you have to be one of the dumbest motherfuckers i've ever seen on slashdot. why don't you just go fuck yourself and die? we really don't need morons like you around, fucktard asshat bitch.
Hmmm, which one of these is the lower quality post? At least the OP was a coward on top of it all. If you're going to complain at least take responsibility and burn a little karma.
Guatemala didn't sign the Outer Space Treaty. I'm sure the US government wouldn't mind me building a rocket base in secret in Guatemala that has the capability of launching a payload into outer space(or any place below). There's definitely no need to get permission from the Guatemalan government either since they didn't sign the treaty. I'm sure nothing will happen and I can safely ignore getting permission.

I'm curious if her computer still had the information on how much data was uploaded for those songs.
I wonder about these figures for each song
(Total upload of a song/song size)*$.70)
Total number of uploads to unique individuals *$.70
I think these could be very useful figures.

I have a BMI of 35. If you're wondering that's pornstar range. Thank you, Ron Jeremy.
or movie star range. Thanks to The Rock, Stallone, and Schwarzenegger.
All 5 of us are "obese". My body is somewhere between pornstar and movie star.
BMI is useless.

Back in my day, we didn't have seats. Front row meant having a metal bar shoved into your ribs as you sweated to death and we liked it.

Every time I see the word, Homeland, I swear they wanted to use the term, fatherland, but the PR dept. said it was too nazi-ish.

OK, there are a few winners that are still alive, but sterile.

Yes, yes, yes, but you've only bought a license to use the door. You don't actually own the door.
