I think it's likely someone's gonna see this and try it themselves without knowing the consequences (long-term nervous system damage, reproductive harm, etc..)
right, so how again are they going to update the firmware on countless thousands if not millions of dvd players?
as for reading the article, I quote:
"Soon, people will be able to copy a digital movie onto a specially made DVD"
What it sounds like to me is that they plan on distributing discs with CSS keys already burned on them instead of the discs that exist now having the CSS ring zeroed out.
If AT&T is in that chain somewhere, they're getting some benefit from it. It could be a peering agreement, or an outright transit purchase, but believe me, they do NOT do it for free.
Well, I hardly think that the people maintaining web servers are technical idiots.
I've been in the webhosting industry for about 6 years... you have it quite backwards. Browse through the discussion threads on WebHostingTalk, and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Granted, a lot of us are very on top of things, but there's also a swarm of 15 year olds that go get a dedicated server, and start up a hosting company with absolutely no clue what an SSH shell even is, let alone how to do anything but click links in cPanel/Plesk/etc.
don't generally rake in a large enough share of the ad revenue for their time slots
Which time slot would that be? The ones they kept moving around about once a month? How exactly is a show supposed to build a following when no one knows when the hell it's on?
because more people will sit down and watch a fat woman screaming about GAHGOYLES
I'm pretty certain that would not count as "the fans".
Perhaps you should actually reply to my actual comment instead of being a condescending prick.
Man, I really wish these tv execs would quit screwing with shows. Firefly, Futurama... it almost seems like they're just trying to see how much we'll put up with.
What's it going to take to get them to listen to the fans again?
YES! In case you haven't noticed, advertising in this day and age is mostly pandering to the lowest common denominator. The vast majority of people *love* to see "big numbers" because "well, if everyone else is doing it, I should do it too". Microsoft themselves have used the exact same tactics, as well as almost every other company on the planet at some point or another.
Advertising is a game that has to be played, and it must be played in a fashion to make it work. Personally, I think it's somewhat sad that they have to resort to outlandish claims, but that's what works... it speaks more for the state of our society than anything else.
What really has me kinda worried, "AT&T" will now have a *very* substantial portion of the DSL market under their thumb. A lot of smaller (and some larger) cable modem providers are getting their upstream lines from AT&T Broadband.
Now sure, they're under contract, but what happens when those contracts run out? Will we see another @Home debacle while the cable co's scramble to replace their uplinks, and ultimately end up paying a lot more for comparable connections and as a result, end up being forced to charge a helluva lot more to provide the same services?
and also by fax... burn out his fax machine and keep him from getting any legit faxes.
Keep in mind who you're dealing with. This would very likely land you in some pretty hot water, seeing as how unsolicited faxes are illegal, and don't carry an exemption for political speech.
Not to mention that you would very likely get nailed for spamming for sending the emails back. Don't forget, the rules apply to you, not those in power.
I'm kind of confused. Why would RIM not store the emails at the blackberry server to begin with? Surely that would have been less resource intensive on their part, and more comfortable to clients in regards to security.
Someone who knows more about this care to clue me in?
You can always purchase a phone for full price and not have to deal with a contract.
I'd like to know where the hell you've seen that. I can tell you right now that Verizon, Cingular, SprintPCS, and Nextel require a minimum 1 year contract regardless of what you pay for the phone.

I think that's called "Natural Selection"

It's long since dead, but they used to have a version for it.
Oh, I see you've tried my ex-wife's cooking. Man she gets around!

Anyone want to take a guess at how much these discs are going to cost? I'd wager just about the same price as an actual dvd of the movie itself.
Besides, haven't these morons figured out yet that CSS is borderline useless?
you haven't looked very hard have you?

Cisco's biggest advantage is their support network. I have yet to ever have a client that didn't buy smartnet with any of their gear.
Granted, some of their "engineers" leave a lot to be desired, but still, PHB's like the warm fuzzy feeling.
No one is willing to stand up for 100% free speech.
wanna bet? look at my sig

Today, if you walked into a RBOC and asked to buy/lease local loops or rackspace, they'd have to let you.
Not since 2002, that was overturned. source

hope they paid for the insurance!
hmm... I doubt a political spam could be construed as a business relationship.

I only want to know if it supports AllOfMP3 ^^
Their Explorer app is nice, but Access databases suck, especially when I haven't used it for a while, and have to wait 15 minutes for it to update.
see my sig, you're paying too much =)
