And that, my friend, is the problem. In todays culture, something actually has to HAPPEN and happen publically before the general populace would take it seriously. How many people thought the danger of a booster rocket leaking was greater than financial concerns before Challenger? How many people were worried about the foam covered fuel tanks before Columbia?
Not really. Short SMS numbers are dealt with by agreement and basically what amounts to static routes to a proper SMS receiving station. There is no resolver as such, and theres no real way to find the long number.
The short SMS numbers have to actually be supported by your provider, in this case they arent and thus arent working. Dont worry, a lot of providers currently dont support them, because they really arent covered under the standards, and currently they are governed more through mutual agreements between providers that anything else. The 'best' thing is that each provider can have a different end recipient for the same number - the number isnt unique globally, since its all handled internally on the network.
Common carrier only applies to those industries that have specifically been GRANTED such status - it doesnt apply automatically and it certainly wouldnt apply in this case.
You can be held liable and responsable for actions undertaken by others on your property or using your equipment - why do you think businesses in the UK have to limit your access to the net? Its because they can be held liable if you download child porn, or if you download something that offends someone else in your office. I dont see why this wouldnt apply to a 'public' wifi node.
Yes, because the account thats downloading said illegal music is owned by you, and paid for by you. To all intent and purpose, they can trace the illegal activities back to you, and you will have to prove in the courts that someone used your open wifi to conduct said activities. Its a possible and unproven defence, not a block on someone suing you.
Why not try the surefire method of avoiding being sued? Pay for legal music or go without. Remember, you arent entitled to it.
If you are a bad credit customer, they can block premium rate calls from your line. If you dont pay your bills, they can block long distance. If you have been accused of nuisence calls, and it has been proven to a suitable extent, you can be barred from calling that persons number.
Phone companies can block what numbers you can call or receive calls from, and that hasnt affected thier common carrier status. As such, ISPs dont have common carrier status - that privilege needs to be bestowed upon an industry by a Judge I think, you dont automatically get it just because you handle other peoples traffic.
The actual requirements are '36,787.559-kilometer minimum distance required for the arbiter of world aviation records, the Paris-based Federation Aeronautique Internationale, to recognize the feat.' There you go.
Remember that at the last minute, they changed the flightplan to take a MASSIVE shortcut by cutting out the northern atlantic route and instead flying directly to Africa and across that way (due to preferential winds apparently) That would have saved a lot of fuel, which probably helped a lot.
The only reason there's PC cases in colors other than beige is because Apple created the iMac.
Sorry, I was buying non beige PC cases way back in 1996.
The only reason there's a Windows "XP" is because there was a Mac OS "X".
If thats true, what about the AthlonXP?
The only reason you can import and organize music with Windows Media Player is because Apple created iTunes.
You do realise iTunes origionally started out as a third party player that Apple bought?
The only reason there's a Windows Movie Maker is because Apple created iMovie.
And MS couldnt have gotten the idea from the hundreds of other Movie creation software packages out there? And the fact that firewire capable home movie cameras were becoming highly popular, so something in the end was bound to happen?
The only reason there's slim lightweight Pentium M class laptops is because Apple created the PowerBook.
Now that really is just fanboiism. Thin and lightweight laptops have been available for years - well before the PentiumM, and as long as, if not longer than, thin Powerbooks. I recall owning a thin and lightweight Sony Vaio back in 1998 - based on a PII chip!
And now, the only reason Intel is floating this mini PC is because Apple created the Mac mini.
Intel have floated such concept devices beforehand - and dont even THINK that Apple created the mini PC market - as many have pointed out, see the Cappachino PC - hell, even Mini ITX systems.
I own two Macs myself - a Mac Mini and an Ibook, so Im in no way anti Apple. But everything you just said is nothing but blatant fanboiism pure and simple. Apple is NOT the be all end all of computing - and surprisingly enough it doesnt innovate as much as you would like to think.
Then you partition and seperate the tanks - fill up however many you *need* with fuel, and the rest with water. Dumping water is of course environmentally friendly.
Theres no Advertising Clause in the MIT license - what the grandparent is calling the OAC is simply the bog standard copyright acknowledgement that goes in each sourcecode file. See the post a few posts down about the OpenBSD license - that certainly has no OAC and has pretty much the same wording.
In which case, the extra info would be PERFECT for a Slashback story (a meta story following up several others, used to have at least one a week) - when was the last time we saw one of those?!
Oh I never said it didnt USE 256mb ram, I jsut advised caution when following the advice of 'GET 512MB RAM!!!!' as its quite possible you may never need it. Chances are I will splashout and get a GB sometime in the near future.
Ive done anything from DivX encoding to heavy Fireworks editing on it, and Ive never really reached the point where I think 'hmmm time for some memory' - I have an iBook as well with 512mb ram, and they are both around the same sort of speed when doing the same things.
And if it drops to $10, you have a price point some people would STILL bitch about. Seriously, people will always want a price point below that which its currently selling for. Oh, and Ive kept my Mini with 256mb ram, and Ive not had any issues with it regarding speed or memory issues - dont take the 'must have 512mb ram minimum' crowd too seriously.
Actually, that should be qualified as 'the last operational flight by an Air Force SR-71...' due to the fact that NASA flew them until quite recently (indeed it may still be flying them).
I think theres a difference there. Windows Remote Desktop logs the local user OFF the system while the remote user is connected (well, it doesnt log them off, it locks the console session for the duration and the local user has to physically log back in). With VNC the remote user can connect and see what you are doing with no indication that they are watching you. Not saying their detection is correct (its set to 'permanently ignore' by default anyway) but theres a world of difference.
(VCN really is picked up BTW, I've seen this happen. Now, there is an example of a cross-platform competitor to a MS product being flagged spyware...)
Its marked by default (or used to be) as 'permanently ignore' tho, so theres nothing forcing you to remove it. Its arguably a valid detection, as its possible to install VNC on someones PC and remote control it without their knowledge, so would you want it missed off the list because its also a legitimate app?
In the UK there exists such a thing called a Compulsory Purchase Order - which the Courts can slap on ANYTHING they want, and the person asking for it can purchase at the price the courts put on the order. The 'seller' has the right of appeal, but cannot turn down the offer.
Ahh the standard response on slashdot 'its not EXACTLY how I want it, therefor I shall continue infringing copyright, infact I think I shall use this as an excuse for my actions'.
Understand that somepeople actually have to get on with their lives - not everyone subscribes to the 'anything but REALLY FREE isnt good enough' dellusion.

And when the US gets outvoted, it invades a country....
Yes, there was the 3 hour miniseries that came out end of 2003. Its out on DVD now if you feel like catching up.
