It's forgiveable if they make it right and apologize, but they're the seller. If their supplier or shipper betrayed them they screwed up by selecting that supplier and not watching them closely enough.

This describes something which is virtually the opposite of the DMCA safe harbor, which grants immunity to ISPs who otherwise might be found liable and does not grant new powers to copyright owners.

Compression is done in the camera today. The proposal is to have the camera simply throw away a random subset of the pixels instead of compressing and then use this algorithm later on a computer to "restore" the image.
I think that on average quakes tend to increase the roughness of the Earth's surface (large mountain ranges such as the Andes are created by the cumulative effects of quakes). This will increase the radius of gyration of the planet and therefor lengthen the day. However, the increase in roughness is counteracted by erosion.

Your explanation makes sense but it would have been better for them to say "we are still investigating" until they know for sure.

If you are viewing them you already have downloaded them: they're right there on your computer. You just haven't figured out how to save them to disk.

Now we know what became of the ones these guys were supposed to get.

More like tens of thousands, I would think. Most are probably being sold in Asia.

Does Newegg warehouse their stuff themselves or have it drop-shipped?
So you think they should be fired on the basis of a mere accusation?

Some people sound that way on my answering machine (and others come across that way in person).
I know people for whom the examples in this thread would be accurate transcriptions...

Which is very sad.
...block all ads with Privoxy and shut off Javacrap.
Aren't things such as fraud serious crimes in Spain? Or could they be extradited?

Sounds rather like you do (the question is, whose financial gain?)

Actually, it sounds like "fertilizer lawn OR garden -farm".

No I don't. I'd notice.

It was a comment when the player piano was invented.

More interesting question: If this goes on, will musicians and actors actually need major labels and studios?

He may want to use the disk in a way that has nothing to do with storage of data at all.
Because after all, the German government has such a long history of being worthy of trust.

Perhaps we want cameras that produce Fourier coefficients instead of images?

No, it's a perfect opportunity for an enlightened Congress to correct the law. Oh. Wait...
