In an age of Wintel-virus created bot-farms, spoofs, and easily cracked WEP encrypted wireless home networks (among other easy hacks), the only tech-savvy response to such a request is, "You've got to be kidding."
This is not the first time the MPAA has been caught pirating the copyrighted works of others. They got caught making and distributing copies of This Film Is Not Yet Rated without permission (and after they claimed they did not make any copies).
I agree. I forgot my ultra-witty sarcasm marks. I'm all for natural selection. If only there was an effective way to make natural selection more effective before the critters get into office (as opposed to breeding).
I'd love to see how Cingular fudged the numbers to back up that statement. They'd only have to have one-less dropped call than any other carrier to make the claim. Combined with not being the largest subscriber base means they can have a higher call-drop rate per subscriber and still make their BS claim. I was so happy to switch from them to T-Mobile. It was worth the higher cost. The phone service quality is much better. The Customer Service is *way* better. But. I. Must. Have. iPhone! Which means I'll have to switch back to Cingularity. At least by then they'll be AT&T in name (again).
Someone should make a board game based on the splits and mergers of telecoms.
I can't imagine this will work too well in Seattle where most of the gas pipe has already been replaced with yellow polypipe. Maybe they can send the signal over the ground/locator wire/foil that's buried with this tough plastic pipe.
If all you need is to detect a press anywhere on the screen without regard for where it was touched, just get small LCD display guts and float them on spring loaded contact switches and wire that switch up to some input.
Regarding point one: your online business hosted in CT is not paying NY taxes. You would be a duly authorized tax collector for the state of NY for the purpose of collecting taxes on purchases made by NY residents. It works that way in every state.
Regardless, it's an insane idea. I hate to think what'll it'll take to get my code handling the hundreds upon hundreds of taxing districts across the country.
Shouldn't be too long before interstate travel in the US requires a passport. That'll finally put an end to criminals moving to another state to hide from the law.
There he goes again. Everytime Apple starts to do something right, Steve goes and fouls it up with his big mouth. Apple could have held Real over the barrel and see how much change comes out of their nose. Once again, Steve lets his brovado kill the deal.
But once it's established that the token "motorcycle" is the same as the token "bike" (within the context of the current session), both parties can implicitly agree that the latter may be used in place of the less ambiguous former. Nyah.
What about the advertising companies? Their product is advertisement...
No, the product that an advertising company sells are the eyeballs that see the advertising. They sell them to the companies that want to sell goods to those eyeballs. Granted, there are third-party firms that create the advertising material for the vendors, but it's the advertisers that "deliver" viewers to the vendors.

I don't suppose I'll be able to use generic refill cartridges on this.
So you have to stumble across the embedded ads in the list.

Yes, it's all the pedestrian's fault they got killed.

Neo asks, what is the Wosix?

I wish you owned several large incumbent telcos and taught them how to stop nickel-and-diming their customers.
That's a nice, tasty crab Katamari. A most delicious Katamari. But can you make it bigger?

We can use future-peering-random-numbers to solve the problem with those unpredictable CPUs.
"WHAT?"
"I said you should check out my new pocket 'puter!"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU. WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"Oh, let me turn it off."
I thought liquids (of a given mass) changed volume very little in relation to temperature and pressure.

So, K.D.'s grandfather is married to her mother? WTF?

I was not aware that the US Congress passed judgment on its laws.
But once it's established that the token "motorcycle" is the same as the token "bike" (within the context of the current session), both parties can implicitly agree that the latter may be used in place of the less ambiguous former. Nyah.
I would expect them both to adopt "bike" over "motorcycle". Fewer syllables.
