"The main thing Sony will be doing now is taking the original server code and rebuilding it using new login keys for their admin side," he said. He also claimed that Sony "will probably take the chance to change the developers root key that was recently leaked, which tells PSN that a particular piece of software is licensed and allowed to use the PlayStation Network."
Gary Taubes' carb hypothesis requires that obese individuals are capable of violating the laws of thermodynamics and the laws of conservation of mass so he's just reaching for something, anything that can vaguely support his bullshit claims.
That's not what he's saying at all. He saying that eating carbs causes an insulin response, and increased insulin levels cause a body's fat cells to take in calories; to get fat.
So basically, If you're the one buying these ads, you're targeting the people who were too cheap to pay the extra $25. Is this the best use of your advertising dollars, getting the demographic that doesn't like spending?
The companies that build these things should be made to set up facilities for getting rid of the products when they are no longer used. This would even apply to industries that produce things other than computers.
Think about it. GE should be the one to pay for getting rid of CFC's from the refrigerators that they manufacture. This would force them to either raise the price of what they sell, or find a better way to manufacture it (without CFC's for instance).
Computers are built with the knowledge that they will be obsolete in a few years, so it should come as no suprise that if they sell X number of machines in one year, that in 3-4 years that many machines will need to be recycled.
At the very least, a law like this would prevent AOL from producing millions of disks that get thrown into the garbage unopened, or from someone even proposing a throwaway product like DIVX (old DIVX, not new Divx:-).
No of course not! This argument has already been fought as the deep linking issue. All that Yahoo is doing, as is any other search engine, is to act as a directory. If this were to be the case, say good-bye to the Web.

Well, not really. Back when I was a student, I used to work for the local cable TV company. They would sell you the signal, but you would pay for every outlet that you watched it on. It was (is?) illegal to redirect that signal to other outlets in your own home. They enforced this to such an extent that if we were called inside to do any work and we discovered any illegal outlets, we would actually go and cut the cable to them, even if the homeowner installed the cable himself!
Isn't it in Finland where if you get caught for speeding, your ticket is a small percentage of your yearly income or net worth? I recall hearing a story about some CEO getting charged a $25,000 speeding ticket.
Seems to me that the time has finally come for me to remove this program from my machine. It's already used for those huge animated ads on cnet. I don't mind those too much, but this is ridiculous.
The software isn't listed in the programs that you can remove, but you can simply remove the c:\windows\system\macromed directory. This doesn't cleanup the registry, and you also get nagged to download the software again if you reload these demo pages. If you decline, nothing at all shows up, although when I went to the cnet site, their ads simply showed up as gifs, and you didn't get the popup nags to dowload flash.

You can read it in his book Why We Get Fat. http://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Fat-About/dp/0307272702/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303174076&sr=8-1

Unless I can use Paypal I won't even consider it.
Our neighbours complain when our dogs bark too loud. I wonder what they would say if we started launching rockets?
I'm going to patent the exclamation mark!
Don't act suprised, or I'll charge a royalty.

Don't mess with the cable company

... so maybe this isn't such a bad solution.
