Isn't the RIAA not really concerned with the DMCA concerning encryption? It's the MPAA that wouldn't want the DMCA to go away b/c of the whole DeCSS ordeal. It seems to me that the RIAA would fight the DMCA since they don't really have anything to lose if it's abolished.
I've not experienced being denied but rather being ignored.
All too often I've sent in the rebate sticker or form (which are too small to write on) and never received a response. Of course, whenever you call them on it, they profusly apologize and ignore you some more.
Some say that web access for other devices will help this situation, but I doubt it. The display needs and platforms for PDAs, cell
phones, and whatever are so different that companies will code entirely different interfaces for those devices, instead of hoping
that their HTML will work across all possible devices.
Wasn't the whole purpose of HTML to create a universal markup language that could be accessed by all? Doesn't making different versions for different devices seem somewhat contradictory? That's the whole reason Java is so popular since it's platform independent and doesn't need to be re-written for every different client. I think if companies realize the not adopting standards is more expensive and less productive, they'll see the light. If not, then don't patronize them and let them see how their marketshare falls.
Oh, trust me. Verizon took 41 days to "certify" a line that they already certified twice beforehand. Though, in my area, it's a neccessary evil since there are no other options.
Another way to obtain work overseas is to work for a government agency like the NSA which deals with foreign nations. I know they have a few bases in Germany (though I think the French forced us out a fews years back). The US Gov't is starving for tech people and is initiating programs to reward IT professionals who work for them.
If you don't like the idea of working for the government, you could work for a government contractor that deals with overseas matters. You won't be working for the USA gov't directly and you'd probably make more money.
They do it to gain demographic data. Whenever you scan an item, they add it to a huge database connecting the product you bought with your name, address, and other personal data that you supply when you install the software. Remember the huge controversy over their database being 'hacked'?
This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's business. However, you're supplying them with the info.
I agree with you completely. I have, on a whole, stopped watching the Olympics since they never show my country's team. Even when a non-American wins a medal, they don't even have him/her on-screen long enough to play the national anthem. It's really dissappointing.
I'd gladly watch some ads online if they'd just show us what we want.
(sarcasm) I like the precedent the MPAA is setting. This means we are allowed to sue the bolt-cutter manufacturers of America, as well as the makers of welding torches, screen cutters, hairpins, and numerous other locking picking devices that exist today, despite their obvious other uses. (/sarcasm)
Actually, the NSA (not NASA), does exactly this. However, they submerge entire rooms with this stuff and cool it with lots of water. The Discovery Channel had a special on this a few years back.
They need as much power as they can get for Echelon. Of course, it doesn't prove if this is cost-effective. They are a government organization, you know.
The Academy's ruling only includes 'official' releases. It would be a shame if your film was 'accidently' leaked out onto the web. Darn. Well, while it's there you might as well get some feedback.
I agree completely. Most of the people in China, especially those not in urbanized areas, own or have access to a computer, much less the internet. It would be parallel to our government putting harsh restrictions on the use of particle accelorators. Whilst they do further science and add somewhat to the economy, it doesn't apply directly to a lot of people.
Say you link to a page that doesn't contain illegal material, but is part of a whole system that contains other pages that are illegal? Or have I just defined the internet?
This ruling is silly.
Man, I love these things.

You know it's bad when you do have 94 altoid tins. I've been wondering what I can do with them...

Remember, RIAA != MPAA.
I thought "up" would be better for "cd .." instead of north. Each subdirectory could be a dungeon that goes down deeper...
When I was yer age, I had to deliver the data packets myself to the local telco central office! A mile away! In the snow! Ya dang whippersnappers!
Jeez, you DSL people sure are cranky. Try putting up with Bell Atlantic/Verizon for a year or two. You don't know the meaning of pain.

Saw this in the Online help for the Darwin server.
:P
If you don't know how to do this, you shouldn't be streaming media to the net.

Damned monopolies.

I don't mean to sound completely ignorant, but what exactly is DHL?
I still have my working Intellivision. It's nice to break it out and play a game of space invaders once in awhile.
For the rest of you who don't have an Intellivision Console, there's always emus. Yes, someone made one...
USinternetworking's HQ is literally about 1/2 mile down the road from my work. Maybe I'll ask them on my lunch break...
The author mentioned this as one of the problems:
The building-to-building lasers would get off target, so they'd have to be adjusted constantly.
Yet, he doesn't address it in the solution, as you said. Perhaps he just left it out?
In any case, this seems like a promising idea.
the plan is to destroy debris between one to ten centimeters in length.
I hope they don't confuse metres with feet again...

Uh, $150? I just bought a new 20.4 gig yesterday for $86. Didn't you check out pricewatch?

I understand why cell phone and radio use is banned in airplanes, but why do some companies also ban portable CD players?
I was on a Lufthansa flight recently and they made me put away my player for the entire flight. Does it really cause that much interference?
Does anyone know where I can get more information of IP calling and the like?
Thanx.
In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, you describe Dirk as having a red hat. Was this some kind of prophesy of things to come?
