Especially once you consider the fact that it's dirt simple to license the music. Mixing can easily be done and sold with a per-minute cost that gets paid back to the original artist. It's cheaper to license the rights directly from the artist for bulk work like this though. If this is really a benefit to the artist then it should have been easy to get licensed cheaper that the statutory default.
Mixing can be 100% legal... all you have to do is pay the appropriate license and you are good to go.
OS X integrates into AD, Domain, kerberos, and LDAP authentication, can use windows, nfs, and afp shares, has robust and automated administration tools, and can interact with Exchange using one or more methods.
Oh, and if those are not enough you can easly add more to the system with stock development tools.
Ha... did that ONCE... the fucker signed me up for a $25 donation and they started harassing in order to "collect" the donation for the next year and I get calls from them every year and paperwork in the mail now too. Fuckers.
The only problem is that *MANY* places require at least a Bachelors degree to get in the door. This is, of course, due to the fact that the k-12 system in the US sucks to the point that buisness can not count on a HS diploma meaning anything these days.
So while I agree with the sentiment that education does not buy you much these days.
The OP forgot the flu... 37K/year * 10 = almost 400k americans dead.
Ok, lets talk about more than just the cost in lives.
The cost can't be any greater than the loss of productivity in US workers due to not having a decent helath care system.
The cost can't be any greater than the increase in cost of gasoline to the US consumers and buisnesses due to US lead instability in oil producing countries in the middle east and the continued effort of the US to piss off oil producing countries outside the middle east.
We are bringing any increased cost upon ourselves and then spending hundreds of billions of dollars on top of that to comat it. That money could have been spent on real threats to our economy... pandemic flu.. when it hits is almost guaranteed to cause major disruption to our economy and since we have no nation health care will probably take an unfortunatly large amount of people since we have no way to force creation or stockpiling of necessary resources to combat such a threat.
So she should have known that the *CUP* was *SOFT* at that temperature? Was that her fault too? It doesn't matter to you how many *citations* that McDonalds received for serving coffee at unconsumable temperatures? It doesn't matter to you that they dilberatly ignored the health department citations because they were attempting to make more money? So if a companies product mames a few customers, that's ok, as long as the vast majority get what they want and the company makes a profit?
I don't think the woman was the problem in this situation.
If you read the white paper on how the google file system platform works, this makes perfect sense. The provision is a CYA to make sure that the customer knows that while google makes every attempt to remove the data quickly, the system only marks files for deletion. Files are later ACTUALLY deleted by an automated sweep.
I've had this discussion over and over again with people. It's those "infrequent renters" that make the type of service "heavy renters" like. Netflix, based on revenue in an area, probably processes X DVD's a day. If you are an infrequent renter you jump to the head of the line making sure that you get the movie you want. Heavy renters OTOH might face small delays. This problem is conounded when a regional center is going through a capacity issue and the heavy users will be the first to notice the problem, and the first to leave freeing up the system for regular users.
I use netflix, I would consiter myself a regular->heavy renter getting 3-5 disks/week. But I don't rent new releases. I rent older titles and I rent TV shows. Most of the new releases I am either picking up myself or I can wait to watch them. I consiter the service a "good deal" since it's half as much as I would pay to the local BB or HV to rent those movies and they just show up at the house.
The glory days when netflix was running a loss, when all the distribution centers were new, is over and people should get used to it. The only problem that I have is that netflix need to be a little more transparent in their processes and advertising. Even just using the same disclaimer that the ISP used "*unlimited rentals limited by mail speed and shipping capacity".
They are seeking to get the routing information of email. They must certify that it is needed for an ongoing investigation, but need not certify that the person is accused of any wrongdoing. This is hardly a huge leap in caselaw, just a new extension for the digital age. If you really feel threatened by it use hushmail. This is not a huge change in our existing privacy rights. Hell if the post office kept that kind of information I'm sure the police could get routing information there too ( if they don't already ).
So hold on to your tin foil beanies, the sky is not falling.
I will probably never find your site... so go ahead and block search crawlers if you feel you are getting screwed.
The plain fact of the matter is there is SO MUCH data on the itnernet as to make it nearly impossible for me to find your site by chance without search engines indexing and suggesting the content on a related search. I don't have time to go and independantly discover your site when looking for a topic or product, if it does not come up with a few google searches it effectivly does not exist and you get 0 revenue from me AT ALL.
"Tax Savy for Small Buisness" by NoLo press... should have more than enough information to keep you out of trouble with the IRS. You can pick it up in any local bookstore. Look for the signature yello/orange books.
Trust me, they are excellent and colover all you need to know ( and a lot more ).
Wifi and Satellite ( last I checked ) are completly inferior solutions that the major players would block in a second if they had the chance. Broadband over power MIGHT be good if it were not controlled by yet another incumbant monopoly. I still re-iterate my point that their is no competition because no new player can come into the markey without being subserviant to the existing players who use their control of the "last mile" and radio spectrum as a club against anyone they don't like.
It has been shown time and time again that competition in physical goods works as expected, but not in services like internet access or phone markets. The problem arises because there are very few ways to get a foothold on the requisite "last mile" or radio spectrum in order to compete. Without being able to come in and "set up shop" without being subserviant to the companies that you are competing against there is no REAL competition.
"You can search a car if you have probable cause, but you don't need a warrant." Only if a police officer stops you while you are driving. They also must show cause and cannot search any area of the vehicle that the driver does not have access to ( possibly the trunk ).
"If you're impounding a car, you can search the whole thing, as long as you have a policy of doing so." If the police have an item in their posession they have the right to search it.
"If you're conducting an administrative inspection (say of a Nuclear Power Plant), you don't need a warrant." This is something completly different than what is being discussed. It has nothing to do with the police.
"With "Articulable suspicion," you can stop somebody, talk to them and frisk them for weapons." No shit... but frisking someone is a whole lot different than tracking thier every moverments.
"Schoolchildren can be searched without a warrant and with something less than probable cause." Again, children are in the care of the school and the school generlly allows the searches. Nothing to see here, please move along.
"If you've been taken in for a DUI, the cops can take your blood without a warrant." Depends on the state. Many do not allow blood without a warrant, but failing to give blood is evidence against you at trial.
"You can search people and cars coming into the US with much less than probable cause." Regular police action and customs are two totally different items. They are held to two very different standards. Once again, not the police.
"You do not need a search warrant to go through garbage somebody puts out at the curb." Depends on the local laws. Generally if you throw it away you loose control of the item.
"You do not need a search warrant to find out the telephone numbers that somebody dialed. (You generally need one for the conversation.)" The records are NOT privledged and not under your control. The phone comapny COULD choose not to comply until police get a warrant, but generally they do not.
I spent the better part of an hour yesterday ridding my mothers computer of this "rootkit". Most of that time was spent attempting to restore the use of her CD/DVD drive that went missing after the core DRM code is shut down. Before people get on my case, my mom is no idiot and is very protective of her computer. I asked her specifically if she ran or saw anything run when she put the CD in her drive and I believe her version of events.
She did not install anything
She did not agree to anything
She never saw an EULA
Her computer could not RIP ANY CD's afterwards
All she did was attempt to import a CD into iTunes and from then on out any attempt to import CD's would freeze up her computer, not just XCD protected disks.
can play mp4 out of the box. Just remeber to tag your files as FOURCC mp4v ( -vtag mp4v under ffmpeg ). You can also transcode.avi files to.mov with the -vocdec copy -vtag mp4v -acodec copy -f mov under ffmpeg as well.
It will be availibe immedatly after it airs in PST... 10pm EST 7pm PST. They could not put it up earlier or they would screw all of their western affiliates.
Yeah, because when i think communications that don't suck I think of e-Bay. This from the company that isn't a bank, isn't an auction company, and now isn't a phone company... or at least that's what the regulators will be told.
E-Bay's use of communications suck all of their products and services are closed products, Skype is no different in that respect, but I see no way that this will improve their buisness. I really can't wait to get back to the closed days of compuserve 195782,1124!

Obviously you have never known a compulsive gambler or shopper then. They go from cash to credit and just keep spending until someone takes away all of their credit and by that point most of them have racked up tens of thousands ( if not hundreds of thousands ) in debt that they have to work the rest of their lives to pay back. Of course they never pay it back because they get more credit along the way and the cycle repeats.
I too am skeptical of the authors intent and "research". It seems like over dramatized "sensationalized" reporting that is meant to sell books, not produce good reporting.
Sure 100 people's lives were destroyed, but COME ON, I could find hundreds of thousands whose lives have been destroyed by lack of medical care or tens of thousands whose lives have been destroyed by credit cards.

I can confirm that at least one disk "Chris Botti" the rotkit installed WITH NO EULA. That IS patently illegal in any handbook.
Then SONY can sue First4Internet after they loose thier court case against the developers of the software.
She inserted the disc while in iTunes and never accepted or rejected anything. Chris Botti was the artist in question I don't know the album name.
Maybe because the rootkit is LOOKING for these binaries in order to SHUT THEM DOWN.
