I mean, if you are trying to stick it to the "Godless" about their lack of "God"... and you are trying to promote "freedom of religion"... then why not acknowledge that there are different religions with different gods...
And some religions with more that one god.
Hell, we could have even won the "we have more gods than you" cold war!
Meanwhile the other telcos get money on the side (national security can't report it) and off the books (no taxes!) for their part in "protecting" America.
(and since the money can't be reported... it is destributed only to "upper management" instead of the stock holders)
Why in the world would the be moving massive amounts of people all over the network like that?
There is a reason they are known as Qworst... especially in areas where they are the sole provider. (I loved living in Colorado but I was happy as hell to be able to have a choice in telco service. Now I don't have to connect to the internet with a modem any more!)
Perhaps it's an invalid conclusion but I assumed they were doing the same shit AT&T has already done... cutting people over to the NSA watchboxes...
While I can't confirm this isn't true, I can confirm that their routing and IP numbers has been very "dynamic" for a loooonnnngggg time.
I don't think management would be stupid enough to fall for the "it's always there" excuse if you're actively keeping it updated.
Just point out to them that since you live in a 'right to work' state you need to do this. And, you'd be more than willing to remove it in exchange for a nice long term contract that provides *you* with the security *you* want.
Or, they can hire stupid people and see how that works out for them...
But, by making cookies unreliable you have forced people (like me) to come up with alternative methods (to cookies that is) that are much more reliable.
And, as a replacement for cookies... these alternative methods can also be used for tracking.
So, I guess... in a way... congratulations are in order.
You are no longer being tracked by a technology that is easy to detect and block.
Does Microsoft's definition of "sophisticated" include inducing random data corruption in any non-Microsoft OS?
More that likely it involves some device driver needing to be installed on the "guest" OS (say... Linux) requiring elevated permissions (say... root) thus allowing for a backdoor into the system similar to the one they have in Windows.
Your solution does not infringe because you are not seeking in a manner that tracks the actual recording, and thus the end of the file... your solution can't even account for the file growing after you reach the end.
This statement is said as a technologist that can tell the difference between implementations and tell that they are not the same.
However, the judge in this case instructed the jury concerning the "doctrine of equivalants".
I'm not sure how this affects things in the real world with stupid people.
Variable delay works just fine in the example if you don't do that.
The key word here is: delay
Your "variable delay" is "working" as a side effect. In reality, you don't have variable delay. That is why you can't set the delay to zero.
whereby a user can control a variable delay between the storage and playback of a particular portion of a given video signal
Their patent is a variable delay between the storage and playback. What you have to remember is that storage is the recording that is happenig in real time. They are working off the end of the file and varying the current position relative to that.
Thus the use of the word 'delay'... as in... delayed from real time.
When watching the recording the variable delay amount remains constant. (What is happening to the "variable delay" in your example... what are you delaying in reference to?)
When paused the variable delay amount increases, because the file is growing as new material is recorded.
When forwarding and rewinding the delay amount decreasses or increasses by the amount of movement summed with the amount of file growth.
This is the meat of *their* solution to the problem, tracking relative to the end of the growing file instead of the more traditional means of seeking from the beginning or following linked lists (tho they do this also it seems).
Your solution does not infringe because you are not seeking in a manner that tracks the actual recording, and thus the end of the file... your solution can't even account for the file growing after you reach the end.
Granted, you have managed to watch a show with a slight delay while recording... but that isn't an infringement in and of itself.

and way to stick it to those Godless Commies
Yes, but why leave the 's' off of the word God?
I mean, if you are trying to stick it to the "Godless" about their lack of "God"... and you are trying to promote "freedom of religion"... then why not acknowledge that there are different religions with different gods...
And some religions with more that one god.

Short sighted bastards!!
As I recall it was because Lewinsky was to testify for the first time the next day.
Are you trying to imply that Bin Laden was talking to his mom about the Lewinsky affair?
Man, he must have been bored silly not to have anything more important (or substantial) happening in his life!
it's not exactly mainstream information.
It's just posted on one of the most popular encyclopedic resources on one of the most open information systems in world.
Nothing you would expect modern peoples in a free world to have access to...
Which is totally sad, becasue in spite of that... you are most likely correct.

Net gain (for the "deciders").
You lose.

Satan himself would have been a better choice
Sorry, he was already on the ticket... as *Vice* president.
His party won.
(people tend to forget that Satan *also* talks with god)

You mispelled 'Yesterday'.

Quick!
Name one competitor that doesn't use MS products somewhere in their business.
In MS world view you are either a customer... or a ludite.
Toyota's don't have the "advanced features" that these tires require....
You must be talking about the part where the car quits automatically all by itself... thus taking a load off the tires and "making them last longer".
All I saw was a big assed square with the "plugin needed" icon.
Since I'm not willing to install flash, there is little chance I'd enable popups.
I can find porn without going thru all that trouble...
(not that any of it is hard, it just isn't worthwhile)
Unless Microsoft indemnifies it, this plugin is not really any better than the patent-encumbered Microsoft XML format.
Not that I've seen the plugin, but...
Would using MS Visual Studio and all MS dlls count as indemnification?
the United States Army (or whatever it was called during the Revolutionary War),
Depends on who you asked.
To the British they were traitors and terrorist.
To the natives they were immigrants.
Today, they are mostly called hypocrites...
Cookies are tracking mechanisms.
They can be.
But, by making cookies unreliable you have forced people (like me) to come up with alternative methods (to cookies that is) that are much more reliable.

Feel better?
To me, it sounded more like *he* was bound and determined not to redo the icons.
It was pretty clear to me that the winning design would need to require the minimum amount of change by them.
What's stopping me using a holographic collector in conjunction with a mirror/lens affair?
That would be innovative... and they have this thing designed to stop that kind of stuff.
It is called a 'patent'.
You for got the requisite apple post, not to mention what happens in Soviet Russa.
I think when the parent refers to a 'hash' he means a perl hash, not a cryptographic hash.

MS isn't joining anything.
What they have done is figured out a way to get people to pay for running Linux.
Instead of charging you for a copy of an OS... they'll charge you for every OS you run using their virtualization technology.
Oh... and a copy for every Windows OS you run also.
So, their pricing will probably be something like this:
- price per virtualized partition: $250
- price for Windows OS: $50
- discount for using Windows inside virtualized partition: - $100
Making the total cost for running virtualized Windows $200 and virtualized Linux $250.
Watch and see...
Like most things christian, you left out the pagan roots.
The problem I have is that it's My PC!
No, the problem you have is that you are not running your OS on your PC.
Now... to reply to myself.
