  1. Scamming the patent office on Prior Art On Verizon Patents · · Score: 1

    Wasn't verizon required to disclose prior art with their patent application ?

  2. Re:More Info? on Vonage Admits They Have No Workaround · · Score: 1

    There's all kinds of off the shelf hardware available to do this - does it all infringe on Verizon's patent ? Did vonage develop their own hardware our just buy somebody else's?

  3. Re:Why are people allowed to possess guns in the U on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    I thought that law expired.

    The part that said you convert your video to 720x480 to watch it on your 720p capable screen.

  5. Re:No modding necissarry. (arr!) on Apple TV "Barely Watchable" · · Score: 1

    $150 says you don't even know what 720p is .... that 720x480 is 480p (widescreen).

  6. Re:funny, most inseatphones are not active. on The Real Reasons Phones Are Kept Off Planes · · Score: 1

    Given the low level transmitted power from a cellphone and the fact that good quality filters are easily available to the designers of the phones I think it is unlikely that theres any significant radiated power outside of the licensed band. Poor quality audio equipment is a lot more common than poor quality transmitters. The frequencies that cellphones operate at and therefore any harmonics are much higher than any frequencies your audio amp or even your radio receiver should be responding too.

    Of course - nothing is perfect, I know I shouldn't be able to hear the cop behind me running my plate through my car radio but it happens sometimes.

    The approach to my local airport takes us right over all the TV & Radio masts.

  8. Re:funny, most inseatphones are not active. on The Real Reasons Phones Are Kept Off Planes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmmm - I was on a flight last year which was struck by lightning on final approach - I'm stunned that the planes systems can take massive broadband interference spikes from lightning without missing a beat and yet they are threatened by the milliwatts of signal from a cell phone.

    It's unlikely that cell phones transmit anything significant outside their licensed band - it's your audio equipment thats at fault.

  10. Re:This really means nothing on Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over · · Score: 3, Informative

    A stipulated motion to dismiss is one that both parties sign - it means the end of the case. If what was filed was a regular motion to dismiss that is a different matter.

  11. Cisco ? on The End for Vonage? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So where does this leave you if you're handing off your calls over a PRI using a Cisco router (with h323/MGCP) >

  12. Re:nothing you can do about this on Woman's House Robbed After Fake Craigslist Post · · Score: 1

    Forced entry is generally required before they'll pay for a burglary - I've even heard of one case where the insurer argued that because the burglar picked the lock there was no forced entry and therefore they didn't have to pay up.

  13. Re:nothing you can do about this on Woman's House Robbed After Fake Craigslist Post · · Score: 1

    It's not a crime at all if you believe you are doing it with the permission of the owner.

    The crime here is the posting on craigslist.

  14. Re:I read your link on Another Anti-Terror List Impacting Businesses, Customers · · Score: 1

    Well there's the $4500 fee to the bondsman for a start - he doesn't care that the charges were dropped. His fee is fully earned the minute you leave your jail cell.

    So that leaves $9000 to cover everything else, attorney, booking fee (believe it or not some counties make you pay for being arrested even if you're innocent), misc court fees (for filing petitions to clear your name) etc.

  15. Re:Since I'm a law-abiding citizen... on Another Anti-Terror List Impacting Businesses, Customers · · Score: 1

    To be perfectly honest, I can't give you a concrete example, even based on hearsay, about where non-missionary is illegal

    The military according to my former MP friend.

  16. Re:What a nasty hack on Washington State To Try RFID Drivers Licenses · · Score: 1

    I don't know ... even more puzzling is the requirement to produce a drivers license when writing a check in a store.

    I believe trial by jury is a right in any matter where more than $10 is involved.

    One cause of NASA's current problems was the complete failure of the last congress to pass a budget for the current fiscal year.

  21. Re:I don't agree on iFilm Infringement Could Blunt Viacom's YouTube Argument · · Score: 1

    Equitable relief requires that you come before the court with clean hands.

    Remember the napster case when an argument broke out over who's hands were the dirtiest ?

    That's trademarks, not copyright.

    You forgot the /sarcasm tag at the end.

    If attorney/client privilege was required to go that far then your attorney couldn't speak on your behalf in court.

    Kind of ironic when you put out a false press release in a case when you're dealing with fraud isn't it ?
