They do have the right to take away the server/bandwidth. After all, it is their stuff, they have every right to take their ball and go home. All that said, however, I do agree that they crossed the line when they threatened you with expulsion for hosting a site that the previous administration was at the very least indifferent to.
Still, talk to a lawyer, perhaps the ACLU, see if you have any legal recourse to keep your transcript intact. With the hostility this new administration is showing to you, I doubt you could recieve any semblance of a fair education at your current school, so in my opinion, you're almost certainly going to need to transfer.
RTA. Basically, what they do is host the GIF plugins on sites which do not have LZW patents. In the unpatched version of GIMP, there's a popup window that's displayed when you try to save as a GIF telling the situation and how to get GIF support.
Unless there's some wacky tax thing that I don't fully understand, the State doesn't pull any tax dollars off of gambling online. No State revenue from gambling is a Bad Thing (tm). Want an example, take Hwy 50 going east out of Fallon. Last time I was down that way, the road was in a horrible state of disrepair. If these online casinoes start to crop up all over the United States, then the Great State of Nevada could stand to lose millions annually. Legal gambling in other states = bad.
First off, Re: Hwy 50 - It's a US highway, which means it has been shafted since the interstate highway system stole all the money from the rather efficient US highway system. Gambling money has little to do with this, you need to talk to your congress person about that problem.
Second off, Re: "unfairness" - Tough shit. Your state has had an unnatural advantage right now due to the scarcity of legalized gaming, your state hates indian gaming, and screams when nearby states think about allowing more gaming permits. Which means if there is legalized gaming in other states, we finally have equality and fairness.
...online betting, which in recent years has been vilified as "the crack cocaine of gambling" by opponents like Kyl, R-Ariz.
Can I get an extention to Godwin's law stating that one who uses "the crack cocaine of..." in their argument also automatically loses said argument? The whole crack cocaine being more addictive, yadda,yadda has been debunked, so why not put the saying where it belongs, ie, the garbage
Allright, lemme step you through how to fix it (I'm a BFAFH, so I know what's done here). Essentially, what you've got to do is set it to use HTTP to transport the stream. Here's how: (note, this is the Win version, so ymmv for exact steps)
From the main screen, go to View -> Preferences
Choose the Transport Tab, select Use Specified Transports
In both the RTSP Settings And PNA Settings, set it up to Use HTTP only.
It should work after that. Though I've still got to put in the standard disclaimer: Any foul acts occurring as a result of following these instructions, including, and not limited to Loss of data, loss of limb, turning into a talking stoat, bringing about the apocalypse, are not my fault, and you do manage to bring about any ill affects, it's not my fault.
So they're only replacing some of the lines, wouldn't that mean it would be impossible to transmit data, since only some of the lines are being replaced?
Depends on where you are. If you're in the middle of the Si Valley, then no, you won't be able to benefit that much from this potentially very fat pipe. But if you want to set up your new data center in Gorman (town about 60-70 miles north of LA), then you may be able to tap into this bandwidth. Of course, like you said, right now is just the stage where they brace up a collapsing system, not when they upgrade the entire grid.
Besides, do you really want your bandwidth from SCE anyways?

But that runs counter to the whole point of having different TLDs, so that joeblow motor parts can exist at joeblow.com and joeblow business solutions can exist at joeblow.biz. In my opinion, the TLDs should be treated just like phone numbers, with TLDs doing the job of area codes, SLDs as phone numbers, and 3LDs as extentions. None of this I have three letters trademarked therefore if you want to use them you have to pay me much money BS.
It'll run on a 7200 and PB 3400; I checked 'cuz I've got a 7200 and want to run YDL on it. All they're saying is that they'll only support you via email if it crashes/burns/turns you into a weasel/etc.
That's standard operating procedure for lawyers in class action settlements. You pay nothing to get in, but they hack out a good share of it once the money gets divvied out. Look at the billions given to the lawyers involved in the tobacco actions if you don't believe this.
That's the first drive I came across, it probably has a chipset supported in other operating systems; I put it up more as a proof of concept than anything else. This box makes the drives themselves more portable by the fact that they're in the standard removable drive enclosure, so you can use the ugly beige case with any $100 30 gig drives. And if you hate the ugle beige box so much, then get out your paints and decorate it to your tastes.
maybe a really interesting idea is a rubber/titanium shell for laptop hard drives, which has a modular connection at one end and so
can plug in to USB, Firewire, or SCSI (I'd settle for just USB and Firewire, actually).
You mean like this? I'll admit it's USB only, but give me a minute and I'll find you a firewire product.
The answer is simple. Instead of shipping off these standardized tests to some large, national testing center to be bent, folded, spindled and mutillated, have the scoring done in district or in area. This way, the local officials have a chance to audit the tests and the keys themselves, instead of the nearly impossible to audit situation the testing is in now. It took the threat of a lawsuit to discover some of these errors, why not open the testing process?
Totally different concept here. We're not talking about nub mice, or key mice here, we're talking about keyboards which are mice. You move the whole right half of the keyboard to use the pointer, not a single key, or a nub
Ok... I watched the video and that was enough. There is no way I can type on a moveable mini-keypad that also acts as a mouse
when moved. Maybe others have no problem keeping a light, mobile square stable while reaching for a top- or bottom-row key... This thing would drive me nuts.
The guy's solved that problem, too. You've got to hold down a button to activate the mouse features. But like you said, this is one of those to each hir own( hir - k-rad word denoting ambiguous gender). This may not be for the heavy handed user, or even the usual home user, but it would probably kick ass as a high tech keyboard to use as a prop in a hacker flick or an "innovative company's" front office.
But you're goint to have to talk to a lawyer, have him put together a strongly worded letter saying that if they don't pay up, you will have no choice but to see them in court. They're in breach of contract here, and if what you say is true, you've got pretty much a slam dunk case here.
.aero is probably for those involved in aerospace type dealings, like those poor, dejected businesses like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Airbus.</Sarcasm>
Though the.museum concept actually does sound like a fair idea, IMO. Put most of the museum sites in one TLD so you can organize them easily. Of course, you'll have to have some strict ground rules for the domains, like having to have actual online exhibits, but it can work out pretty fairly.
Now, I'm no lawyer, so take my advice with a particularly large grain of NaCl, but, it could be possible to bring this in as slightly supportive evidence that a particular patent is bunk, but not as a major arguement. Different countries have different patent standards, and thus, the laws as to what is and what isn't an acceptable patent are different. However, the evidence used in the case could certainly be used in a lawsuit against Amazon's patent; I for one am very interested in how the book they mentioned fits into the whole thing.
Bezos proposes that as a start the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recognizes that "business method and software patents are fundamentally different than other kinds of patents" and proposes a retroactive "fast patent" system for these types of patents, limiting them to a 3- to 5-year lifespan, as opposed to the standard 17-year cycle.
Interestingly, Bezos' "fast patents' would include a short public comment period beforehand whereby the Internet community could "provide prior art references to the patent examiners at a time when it could really help," Bezos said.
Though I strongly disagree with Bezos' and Amazon's position on one-click, I agree with him here as far as a fair compromise to the utter mess of the current patent system. Yes, a novel business plan should be rewarded, but not as much as the standard patent amount. If we would have had this system in place, one click would be a distant memory, either through prior art challenges or expiration, instead of the fighting that could go on for more than a decade to come.
As a postscript, when does the patent on LZW expire? That's one patent I won't miss at all.
There is not much that can be said about this subject that hasn't already been said, but as a fan of his great humor, I must send my fondest farewells and condolences to his family. May all memories about him be pleasant, and may he always be remembered as one of the great humorists and creative minds.
Problem is most vendors won't allow real benchmarks. You publish an "unauthorized" benchmark, they send their legal attack dogs after you. Therefore, we're stuck with these benchmarks which have little bearing on reality, because there is no alternative.

Have you tried setting up realplayer to use HTTP transport instead of TCP/UDP, or is it a truly evil firewall that looks through HTTP stuff as well?
