Yeah, and I HATE HATE HATE it when everyone knows what kind of car I'm driving. INVASION OF PRIVACY! And God, I want mail delivery, but giving my address to the post office is just going way over the line! People can even drive by my house and determine what kind of car I have! They can even tell what kind of tires I use! God! INVASION INVASION!
So does XM, http://listen.xmradio.com/. I'm listening right now.
The real advantage to this, of course, is that XM increases it's potential customer base. Customers who will use the XM via AOL option will fall in love with a couple channels and end up getting units and paying the $12.99/mo. Of course, I'm all for this... I'm a shareholder (tm).
Most companies have two budgets: Capital and Expense.
Capital budgets are spent on capital goods, usually, like computer hardware, employees, buildings, etc. Things the company plans to keep around.
Expense budgets are used for such things as paying the electric bills, water, coffee, etc. The thing is, consultants also fall under this category (as opposed to a full/part time employee which are capital) as well as server leases (as opposed to purchases which are capital).
So in some cases a company may have a lot of extra money in the expense budget, but not the capital budget. Because said company is also irrational, there is no way to transfer some of the expense budget to capital in order to pay for needed hardware. This, therefore, requires the VP of said corporation to lease the hardware with his expense budget.
Let's get real here and examine what the letter really says:
You're using up network bandwidth and we don't like it. Instead of telling you this, we're using the disguise of some law that does not yet exist to tell you to stop. What's so great about this disguise is that not only are we scaring you by threatened to turn off your network connection, but we can also insinuate that you can get arrested, thus creating an even bigger reason to stop.
Of course, they assume you're an ignorant fuck (afterall you're at a university) who will just go "OK yessir I'll stop"
"The Internet is fostering new kinds of creativity through language," said David Crystal, a historian of language at the University of Wales in the United Kingdom. "It's the beginning of a new stage in the evolution of the written language and a new motivation for child and adult literacy."
yeah dem ni**az know what i'm talkin' bout dawg. this be only fostering my artistic skillz and evolution of the language, cuz. holla at ya boyz! gonna hooks ya up wiff some bling bling and weez goin' chicken huntin on the dubs yo.. HOLLA!
RAOP protocol itself has already been analyzed by DVDJon and its implementation is availabe as an open source C# software called JustePort. RAOP protocol is based on RTSP wrapped with AES and RSA cryptography, on which Apple Lossless files are streamed.
AES and RSA are also open methods in conjunction with RTSP. Seems pretty open to me.
My claims? Considering Apple uses RTSP for it's Quicktime streaming it would only make sense for them to use the thing they know for their other products. Any more proof? Shall I telnet to port 554 on my Airport Express and show you the RTSP signature? How about a Apple Press Release in which they updated RTSP in the Airport firmware. I'm sure Apple always updates protocols not supported by their hardware!
If Apple didn't like it and wanted to be proprietary, they wouldn't have used Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), which is a well documented and supported protocol, as the transport method.
Case closed. Liberals, if you want to be able to change the laws from the judicial branch of governemnt (gay marriage, abortion, patriot act, etc) then you should at least live by the other court rulings as it would seem hypocritical to do otherwise. Oh wait....
So a company named 'Cockos' or 'CockOS' (read: Cock O/S) puts out a product called assniffer (read auto-saving sniffer). Is it just me or does this story just reek of bad jokes?
Here we go again... "blame America, it's their fault... they're losers and don't care about anyone else... and the media OMG the media".
To say this isn't a tragedy would just be stupid, but you can not compare the tragedy of 9/11 to this tragedy. On 9/11, we saw the worst of human existance, Osama Bin Laden and his minons, attack and kill nearly 3000 people. This tragedy is more related to the evil of human nature.
The tragedy in the Indian ocean is of a different flavor. A more apt comparison is to that of the Earthquake in Iran. Tens of thousands of people killed by the forces of nature. Nothing we can do when this happens but to "ride it out."
However, to say Americans do not care is simply ignorant. The U.S. has already begun sending money to the region along with aide workers (more to come, stay tuned...). The US is not just simply "laying back". However, you're right, there is also media coverage of *other* things and if there wasn't, you'd be complaining about how the media is "hiding the quagmire in Iraq" by only reporting on the tsunami. Besides, the US has about 200,000 of the greatest citizens over in Iraq fighting for freedom accompanied by nearly $150 billion, so of course this should be part of our daily news cycle... not just ignored.
Five years ago when I worked for a major backbone provider (Qwest Comm.) and as I was talking to one of the global network engineers, he was wearing a shirt that had a Qwest logo and an IPv6 network under it. I asked him if that was for Qwest's IPv6 netblock and he indicated yes. We talked for about 15 minutes during which time he explained that Qwest, along with others like MCI/Worldcomm and AT&T (and several other big names you'd recognize if I cared enough to list them all), had a "parallel" IPv6 network running across the U.S. and some of them were even passing live internet traffic over these routers using encapsulation. However, the routers knew each other by their IPv6 address space.
So, five years later, how can the poster say CERNET2 is the biggest IPv6 network in the world? I would say "prove it". I would think several large international backbone providers who had links with each other passing live traffic would be considered pretty damned big!
ICANN only controls non-country TLDs. If you do not like the three quarters of a dollar tax, then move to a country TLD like.US.
Also of interest, everyone here complains about how closely aligned ICANN is with the US gov't. Now, from what I can see, they want to charge you 75 cents a year (1/3 the price of a cup of coffee) so they can privately fund themselves. This leads to getting the gov't OUT of the DNS game and truly internaitonalizes it!
If you made it to college, you were not left behind, and further attempts at monitoring citizens should be."
You're right.... if my tax dollars were not being given to many students to help them pay for college.
However, when my tax dollars go towards grants and scholarships to kids going to college, then I deserve to know that money is going to a worthwhile cause. Yes, this means that if Little Johnny needs his $2000 per year to attend a university, I must know that he's passing his classes and doing well. I have a serious problem with my money being sent to a kid who spends his time partying than actually getting an education!
Most of these mishaps are blamed on counterfeit batteries and chargers. and then... Shouldn't cellphone companies be making people aware of the hazards of usage?
So you want cellphone companies to tell you to not buy batteries off of ebay, but only one of their batteries from one of their approved resellers? And then you'll be complaining about unfair business practices, how they are trying to monopolize the battery business, etc etc.

Iran...
North Korea...
For they are the enemies of freedom (even in OS choice!)
As explained in this blog:

This provides more useful information to help backup your claim, but also mine...

Well the court said that, in Roe v. Wade, that it was illegal for the state to tell a person what to do with their body.
And, well the court also said, that you must show identification to board an aircraft.

OK, now mod me down!
This is a good reason why we should just force all nations in the world to adopt a single language, English.
Erm of course... if I was French, I would just sed 's/English/French/' that last sentence and you wouldn't set me -1 Flaimbait.
I was going to ask what kind of crack he was sniffing and if he'd share, but I guess that's not the best question given the application 'assniffer'.

Why be a lame duck and ineffective leader for 1 year when I can do it for 8 years? Seems highly illogical to me!

Does this mean AOL is trying to become something which it is not?
An internet service provider?! YES!
