Telephone company implies a telephone. IP telephony (a misnomer really) is sending audio signals over the internet to a designated IP address. Only because they are trying to bridge people to VOIP are there any telephone numbers associated with VOIP. VOIP itself does not require any use of POTS. It seems to me that a pure VOIP company (even if perhaps the device you speak into looks like a telephone) where there is no POTS based phone number attached nor does it traverse any of the POTS networks, should have no fees incurred. Now it would make sense to me to have taxes involved when a phone number is attached to it. But either way, it seems that the courts are trying to squeeze VOIP into the telephone paradigm, just like every non-technie in america. It makes it easier to embrace if its just a fancy phone.
Hey, I 'happen' to be writing some 'free' software -exactly- like you're talking about... Why dont you 'donate' say $3,000 to my project and I'll send you a 'free' copy.
I understood the difference (due to binary), but mixed up which one was which and reversed the order (MBi as opposed to MiB). And the SI unit versions are the 1000 multiples, the computer user standard are the 1024 multiples. Thats all i meant.
I understand the Internet Archives use (Im a huge fan of the wayback machine). I guess I'm mostly trying to say that if a home user had/could afford one of these like the way the original poster implied, you'd have to be crazy or in jail =)
Depends on whether you're talking Pb or PBi.. If i recall with the big HD size debate several months ago, the Gb/Mb are multiples of 1000 whereas GBi/MBi are multiples of 1024.. maybe i have the abbreviations wrong.. but there are separate units for 1024 multiples due to some whacky issue with SI units or something.. does anybody remember the link to that thread?
At least as far as the next year or two is concerned. RIAA has all but outlawed music on the computer and even so, a petabyte of $1.25 songs would cost you more than bill gates makes in a year. If you have a petabyte of home movies, you must be making porno films.. If you have a petabyte of DVD's ripped, you have several life sentences coming, even if you own all the dvd's somehow (more bill gates salary multiples). And if you have text files, then holy grapes batman, youll never read all that in 10 lifetimes.
I can see uses in the comercial realm, buying multiple units in order to backup. But if this is in anyway marketed toward the consumer, only the biggest 'mine has to be bigger than yours' geek would buy something like that right now. I'll probably have one of those on my desk/floor about 5 to 7 years from now when its affordable/realisitic for me.
If youre not taking snapshots/video, its no different than the sensors in the street that log speed and time for passing cars. Anonymous data that says 'someone went by here at 02:30a' should be fine IMHO. It would still be useful because you would know that some hiker left home around 16:40, would have arrived at checkpoint one around 17:00, theres a matching entry about 17:05 and another around 16:58 with no other matches for an hour. Two someones reached checkpoint two half about hour later, and only one someone reached checkpoint three. Thus you know that your missing hiker disappeared somewhre between checkpoint two and three. Thats a simplistic case, but it could be helpful even in more complicated ones.
Also, if you posted signs that the checkpoints were under surveilance, it meets the law on that count if you wanted to take spanpshots of the passing hiker, even if from behind just to get a clothing description match.
At my place of work, we have trouble with formulas inserted into word documents. Seems word crashes in equation editor in random circumstances both on RH9 and Fedora Core 1.
The artists don't have total say on what order songs go. The label usually says 'put this one first because its the most popular'.. Actually it seems the tracks I like are most often on track 3 or 7. In any case, i doubt it's very often, except for small labels, that the artists preferred order, or even songs, make it onto the final track. I'v heard of artists who've been forced to leave songs they like off because 'it might not sell'. God forbid music just be music and not dollar signs on staves.
at one point i had some blue liqui gel caps and some red ones from some other brand in my desk and i took a picture of myself holding them like morpheus. it was pretty funny. passed it around among my friends. *shrugs*
if you take both the red and blue pills what happens? do you wake up simultaneously in both places? =)
As you can see we've had our eye on you for some time now Mr. Anderson. It seems that you've been living two lives. In one life you are Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company. You have a social security number. You pay your taxes. And you help your landlady take out her garbage....
so lie about the version you used to chat with? and when asked to prove it say 'i did not make any logs so as to avoid breaking the law. i have no proof of what version i had installed'
I hereby rule that: 1. all A keys must be removed on keyboards to prevent the use of the Ctrl + A function. 2. all right mouse buttons be removed to prevent raising context menus.
so the answer most companies have is 'no personal mail' thus all mail is business related and subject to their search. they dont allow personal computers, and the computers there belong to the company with company installed os etc. i tried to bring a personal machine to my work and got in big trouble. though the primary reasoning here is different (hard to distinguish relocatable property from personal, non-relocatable/non-reassignable property.) and the secondary reason is that they want only authorized and work related data on their network. And even if you used dialup, its tying up corporate phone lines for personal use, etc etc.. *shrugs*
a lot of businesses have auto replies that say the message will be hand-read and passed through if work related. This is -very- true for stock market related businesses where inside trading etc are of big concern. I know of a few unnamed businesses that do this.
I believe that online chatting is analogous to the beep on the phone. I think the argument should be that online chatting is implied consent to record. The -vast- majority of chat programs save the chat logs, sometimes automatically (ie gaim). I think if the court is going to rule that ctrl+a pasting is recording, then the network card and associated drivers are also recording, though deleting as it passes. When does having something in memory become storage? Is there a nanosecond clause to that law? (If you have the data in memory for more than one ns, then you are copying/recording?) If so, then what about video buffers? It stays in the video buffer as 'text', or in the memory behind the textbox values until the window is closed. Anyway, like I said, i think the chat box should be the beep.
So perhaps plagued reads too strong, would hampered be better? or perhaps hindered?
Would "good to see some more success" fit better?
i had a couple more sources on there originally, my submission was edited slightly. Still were the same sort of article. What's wrong with CNN other than the delay you mention? I didn't see the post anywhere on slashdot, so nobody else had picked up on it and submitted it. just thought it was interesting and should be shared. im sorry if the wording wasnt pristine. For my own betterment, what would be better sources in the future?
no confusion, perhaps just bad word choice. All i meant was that the rover wasn't doing what it was supposed to be doing, ie moving around, radioing back, etc (unfunctioning) and wasnt responding at all. They had to know what to send to it and hope that it got it and did what they told it to without getting any feedback. Its pretty hard to debug a system that won't even chirp at you.
Funny you mention EtherPeek. I worked for that company (who was in my little hometown) back when they were still Ag Group. Last I heard they became WildPackets!. (Exclamation is part of the name). EtherPeek was some slick software, but yeah cost some $$ if you didnt get a free key from them =)
maybe its not a seal, but more like the concept of holding a cup with air upside down underwater. as long as the scooter doesnt tip over completely the air would stay in and would refill as soon as you tip the scooter back upright..
Slashdot Mirror
that was sort of indirectly my point. im just speaking in general though.

One thing I never got.. In American Football the ball only touches the foot at kick-off's, punts and field goal attempts?

implied consent. its common knowledge you're being recorded in court. plus, i think the courtroom is more or less outside the law?
As you can see we've had our eye on you for some time now Mr. Anderson. It seems that you've been living two lives. In one life you are Thomas A.

the picture on the first link is terrible, but the picture on the actual website isnt so bad. it doesnt look like it was the scuba doo folks fault.
maybe its not a seal, but more like the concept of holding a cup with air upside down underwater. as long as the scooter doesnt tip over completely the air would stay in and would refill as soon as you tip the scooter back upright..
but talk about claustrophobia!
