Yeah Symantec is probably already getting hazy thinking about how to deal with January's MS Vista release. Most likely an oversite because resources and eyes were alocated elsewhere.
I think a McAfee, Symantec and others vs Microsoft classaction lawsuit will follow Vista's release. Clearly anticompetitive monopolistic action will be in effect.
The airline industry is a private corporation, not a federally run operation...they are regulated by the FAA
Yes, and in a perfect world the airline industry regulates its identfication policy and is not subject to report this information to the FAA without a warrant. I'd rather fly on an anonymous flight then be required to whip out an ID everywhere.
It is like driving a car. It is not a right but a privledge.
In a perfect world this too would be a right not just a privlege. Unfortunately there is no law that requires license plates act soley to collect revenue and retrieve stolen vehicles.
What is more disturbing is the trend that if you walk down the street and are required to present identification by police.
"Basically it all comes down to whether ICANN cares or not." Vexing. I imagine there is all sort of pocket padding going on (power, money, influence). I don't remember the public having a vote selecting the ICANN representatives.
Is it legal for companies like Verisign be allowed to raise the rates on yearly domain renewals? Shouldn't the cost of domain renewal and new domain purchases go down because the cost of maintaining TLDs are less (ie equipment, bandwidth, quantity of subscriberships etc.)?
Some stories stick out as paid for advertisements. Maybe these are really unbiased postings, but often they seem to obvious to users (including me) that they are there because someone paid money to get them there. Does/. take money for reviews? If so can we users at least get a warning like "Advert" in the heading?
If anything the prices of new domains should go down. After all isn't the technology getting cheaper. Maybe they are adding a nightmare of a bureaucracy they need to pay, or maybe they want higher salaries. Either way if my broadband prices and computer equipment are falling so should theirs.
For about half the price of a Sharp. I got a 37" LCD from syntax olevia after reading good reviews everywhere. I found it on the web for $1575 including shipping. Highly recommended.
If the reasons for seeking this patent were interest protection, then Google could have done a better service to all by making their idea publicly known. Publicly purchasing an idea like this is questionable.
This is one of the many poor patent ideas that will probably still get passed. Then if Google chooses to become greedy it will have the opportunity to practice innovation suffication in the name of asset protection...

Switching to Intel mostly to impose better DRM is not a good call IMHO. I think this move shows the Mac is headed in the same direction more and more ultra-proprietary systems and software like Microsoft.
Setup shoutcast (preferrably on a fanless computer/server). Connect to a bunch of wifi tablet PCs. I haven't experimented much with shoutcast, but I'm sure you can configure it to create streams on-demand so that you can tune into what room 1 is listening to, or simply browse the server for individual audio files. Then get Creative's Audigy for laptops and you are good to go with unlimited 24bit surround sound systems.

I've been using a 34 inch Syntax Olevia that I purchased six months ago for $1500 including shipping. It is awesome and compares to Sharp in quality.

The bad part of this is the possibility for another health insurance category and rate hike for those of us who are having stressed-out days.

If so what combined percentage shares/vote do they have these days?

Globalism is great. Eventually Africa will be used as it really is the last spot of untapped labor (although a tad risky at the moment).
This makes me not want to pick up any more Macs.
Oh yeah and allow access to the web on each client so you can listen to the internet streams too. Basta.
