Try opening your eyes a bit and remove the blue-tinted shades. This was an excellent PR move by the defense counsel. The more positive publicity the defendants get the less likely Apple will be to string them up by their nuts. This article (and probably correctly so) paints this defendant as a kid who made a harmless mistake, wants to own up to it, but doesn't want to me made an example of. It did so quite delicately. Coming down hard on the kid once this interview gets broader publicity would be a horribly negative PR move. If there's one thing Apple knows it's the value of good PR. Speaking publicly in this controled manner and ignoring the defendant's rights to prevent self-incrimination was the best move he and his defense counsel could have made. No doubt about it.
Alright, it's a treaty not a law. It's also a minimal level of professionalism we should hold ourselves to. By disregarding the guidelines set forth at the Geneva Convention we're lowering ourselves to their level. Who here thinks that's a good idea.
That's true. The vast majority of countries (mine included) seem to pick and choose which laws it wants to follow on a mere whim (can you say Geneva Convention?). And of course if no law exists that suits a country's particular fancy then they'll just write one on a napkin and viola!, we've got a new law.
I thought that the land was already divied up? Wait, I must be thinking of Antartica. International waters only extend 6 miles from a country's shores. Can a country legally stake a claim to international waters?
It's graphics and AI kicked the living shit out of Doom, Quake, or anything after it for a good many years. There are still games today that can barely hold their own against Marathon and Marathon 2. The physics controls of Marathon 2 are still many times better than more current games like MOHAA, SOF2, and others. H2 is finally able to compete in that arena. Those guys at Bungie were something else. It was a sad day when Microsoft bought them (as it is for all companies that get assimulated by The MS Borg(tm).
Don't ever, EVER post to the PHP-Install list. That list is all but unusable. I can't recall the last time I saw a legit message on it. It's all spam, infected mail, and vacation messages. I kid you not, I posted on stinkin' little message to the list and received 12 (12!!!!) vacation messages of all kinds. Many weren't even in English. I swear it was a damned joke. I mailing the admins of the list and postmaster@php.net didn't even get a courtesy "who cares" message. A joke indeed.
BTW, ^FROM_DAEMON and ^FROM_MAILER in Procmail can be quite useful for filtering out MTA bounces.
I have a Verizon phone (LG VX7000) and have been fairly impressed with it. I really liked the usability of my Nokia 6120i but its range and battery life sucked. Plus that carrier wasn't in the Wichita, KS area. I am however more than a little disappointed with the speed of the 'Net access and how it's all but unusable on my phone. The transfer rate is neglible and it takes an act of Congress to type in URLs on this phone (not to mention log in with a numeric userid). I should probably just drop the 'Net access option from my phone since I rarely use it (or can use it). I text message often (usually to Google SMS or receive stock alerts from Scottrade). The next time I upgrade my phone I hope to buy a Treo or BlackBerry of some sort. To do that I'll have to be at a point in my life where I'm carrying my engineering bag, briefcase, or some other container which can protect my extrememly expensive phone from damage. However I know I won't be able to carry it everywhere like I carry my LG or my old Nokia. I wish Verizon would allow me to attach another phone to my number for, oh say, $10/month or so. That would be worth it to me if I owned one of those nice PDA-phones. I won't buy one of those phones though until the speed is decent. I think one of those PDA-phones will solve my usability problems. The speed matter still needs to be resolved though. Do you have the new highspeed broadband access? Like it? What phone are you using?
All me to point all of you to the simple, concise definition of week which is brought to you by the good folks at Dictionary.com:
week
n.
1.
a. A period of seven days: a week of rain.
b. Abbr. wk. A seven-day calendar period, especially one starting with Sunday and continuing through Saturday: this week.
2.
a. A week designated by an event or holiday occurring within it: commencement week.
b. A week dedicated to a particular cause or institution: Home Safety Week.
3. The part of a calendar week devoted to work, school, or business: working a three-day week.
4.
a. One week from a specified day: I'll see you Friday week.
b. One week ago from a specified day: It was Friday week that we last met.
Simple and concise. Hey, look at that! Weeks begin on Sundays again!
A quick Google search indicates that the good folks at Princeton and the Australian government concur. In school I was also taught that the week technically began on Sunday (I forgot tomention that I grew up deep in the Bible Belt). Being an athiest I'm not up on the various passages of the bible but it seems like I recall that it also indicated that the Sabbath day was the beginning of the week. I could be wrong of course considering I haven't picked up a copy in a good long while now.
Even more family, co-workers and colleagues around the world agreed when I told them about the question. My mother the school teacher knew it, as did my father the mechanic. My brother in law the programmer of course knew it too. Anyhow, I'm rambling and I've got to get back on the road in a few minutes.
I was watching a WWTBAM episode back when that was happening. It was a celebrity show that night. I remember they asked a Fastest Finger question where they screwed up the answer. Basically it was 'put these movie titles in chronological order based on the day of the week mentioned in their title.' One of the choices was "Any Given Sunday". I don't recall the rest. When the answers were tallied that movie however was listed last in the answer (ie, they said the week started on Monday instead of Sunday). A "week" is defined in the Gregorian calendar system as "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday." And of course the Gregorian calendar is used throughout most of the modern world. Opps. A small mistake on their part. I'm actually quite surprised that simple of a mistake got through their editors and research dept. I've never seen a mistake quite so simple on Jeopardy before. They probably put out a lot more effort than WWTBAM did.
At some point if I were in Ken's position I'd like to think that I would start playing for charities. Ie, today I'm playing for the Doctor's Without Borders foundation. Or I'm playing for the ACLU or such and such cancer research fund. Then again I could also take the money I would be giving to charity and invest it. Then I could give them (and probably many others) even more money in a few years or every couple of years based soley on the growth. I started investing in the stock market in July and I've literally doubled up so far this year to date. It's probably beginner's luck but I have a lot of it apparently. I'd like to think that I could at least make some decent profit on my winnings. Hell the market average is 11%. 11% of 2 million is $220k. That's certainly nothing to scoff at. Anyhow, that's what I'd like to think I'd do if I were ever in that position.
I'm was referring to spelling, grammar and punctuation actually. Don't worry about it too much. We all make mistakes (even I did in my reply to you); I frequently think faster than I type which causes me to leave out words and trailing characters. Nevertheless, good luck fighting the good fight.
(I'm going to lose my positive mod point for one of your posts in this thread but what the hell)
Rossi, kudos for fighting the good fight. No offense but have you ever stopped to think that the major media outlets might be overlooking your story due to your inability to put together simple sentences? For pete's sake, man. Read the comment I'm replying to. Do you talk in a similar manner? Bush Junior can put together more comprehendable sentences better than you have in this thread. No offense, Rossi. I'm just offering an alternate theory as to why the media is ignoring your case. I hope for your sake and for the rest of the anti-DMCA folks out there that you verbal grasp of English is better than how you write.
The Friday following Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday" because it's the single day that puts most brick and mortar business' books (accounting) into the black, so to speak. However the busiest day for online retailers is the Monday following Thanksgiving which they call "Black Monday." This is probably caused by the shoppers becoming frustrated with the long lines at a brick and mortar store. Or perhaps they didn't find what they were looking for and are going online to find it.
I'd like to know how much power they pull. I'd like to do something similar at my folks' new house. They'd like 1) a record of people that go to and from their house (it's out in the country on a barely maintained road with a surprising amount of traffic that should or should not be there) and 2) give them a chance to see who is coming down the drive before they get to the front door. It's a half-mile driveway with a river and a couple hedgerows blocking the view of the main dirt road. Getting AC to it isn't possible since it's too damned far away. I'd like to power it off of deep-cycle battery and charge the battery with a solar panel. Ideally the camera would go into a power-saving mode when it doesn't detect motion or someone isn't accessing the builtin web server. Ideally. Same goes for the wireless access point. I'd like to find one that reduces it's power consumption when not in use. Ideally again. I figure if the power consumption was minimized I could power it all with a deep cycle battery and a solar panel or two. I'm familiar with Axis webcams. I'd like to use them if possible. Nice cameras. Pricey though.
LOL. That's funny! She is paranoid. Has she found the one in the closet yet? How about the headboard. Don't tell me she believes that's a smoke detector on your ceiling. Just so long as she doesn't find the booty cam in the shower, you'll be fine.
I thought all the new D-Link and LinkSys cams utilized all the security options alloted to them via 802.11B/G. That was my understanding at least. Can anyone with one of these cameras speak up and let us know? I'd be interested in finding out. And I agree on the el cheapo POS camera (read: X-10). Those are extrememly easy to eavesdrop on.
You sir are.... Correct! (unusual for/., eh?;-) ) X-10 camera quality sucks the big one. I should know because I own no less than 5 of their crappy cameras. I bought them shortly after a peeping tom started bugging my neighbors. I set them up on my wall facing the spacing between our houses. I walked by and let it take my picture and I couldn't even tell it was me. Yeah, they suck. Still with a company that makes decent quality cameras.
More like "I think my Linux desktop is cheating on me while I'm at work with my neighbor's Windows desktop. I want to catch them in the act before I have little bastard Windows PDAs running around here."
Note how I never said you were a "Bible-thumping fundamentalist" and only in fact said "you" once in reference to what you said, not your beliefs. I'm contributing to the arguement; not berating you.

It is, assuming I spell it correctly of course.

LOL. I couldn't think of the word. I kept thinking wallpaper or the stuff you put on an old filing cabinet to spruce it up. Shelf paper. LOL.
Don't ya'll mean Johnny Dangerously from the movie Johnny Dangerously ? I love that movie. :-)
