No joke, did anyone even do a check on this analist? A 4 percent increase in AMD stock could be worth some money to someone with enough AMD stock. It's not likely a plot, but there isn't really any other reason this guy would have a professional opinion.
To establish libel or slander, first you have to establish that the piece of communication has meaning. In this case, there simply is no meaning to what he says. Furthermore the targeted professor was unnamed; in this situation an individual who claims libel has already validated the truth of the hurtful claim.
The blogger could have been (much) more tasteful, but the bottom line is the same. Marquette administration has put their foot down because if the public will be reading lies about their instituion, the lies better be administrative lies. It's a power play, and ironically the only man being emotionally/socially degraded is the student.
Would it be a scam if nobody bought (leased) it? At $36/year it's nearly reasonable, but I would still stay away on principle. To each his own I guess.
Wait for the holographic disks. They're being developed by a media company (not electronics/studio/mafia companies), so they should be much more useful. Media companies are geared for volume, so they'll likely be selling a platform for $100 6 months after release, but don't expect the disks to go down in price for a while.
Down where? There's no way a kid would buy this set for him/her self, and you could build your own for $250. Lego has severly limited their market, without apparent cause.
Maybe the radio is better in the UK, over here all we get is wannabees (many nearly as pathetic as Justin Timberlake) on the radio. Yahoo music is a scam because you dont get anything other than commercial free radio. You can't keep the songs, and you can't play it in your car. On the other hand, you'll find a lot more metal, and a good collection of trance on usenet.
I think the idea is that a surface will be below the keyboard, and you can hinge the keyboard upward to allow a "mousepad" on you lap. The only advantage is to be able to use a standard mouse without a desk. Of course this brings something else to question: Why not just build in a trackball instead?
Thanks for sticking up for me, and for pointing out that the article is trash. The article is not just a boring illegitimate topic, it's poorly written too. Not only that, but slashdot accepted yet another totally misleading title... again.
...scienceblog has apparently mastered the art of time travel by writing an article regarding a technology that has been developed that 'would' do all kinds of spectacular non-natural things. There is no news here, and the slow news day excuse doesn't apply either.
You just alluded that cash is slower, and less safe than credit cards! In fact credit/debit is always slower than cash, and always will be. With this new wireless method, not only can someone steal your identity, now they don't even have to.
Remember, I can count out 8.50 in quarters faster than someone can ring up their credit 3 times with 2 authorization failures.
It's possible that the GameCube turned a small profit for Nintendo, but my guess is that any success they have experienced in the past few years has been from handhelds. They dominate that field, and lets face it, Nintendo didn't market the GameCube with intentions it being the 3rd string.
I'm always dissapointed when someone comes up with a great answer and then they're scoffed at for not using all the catch words. With a preamp mechanism (or compression), so simple now, advertisers can make things extra loud. In the past big content producers weren't so close to electronics manufacturers, but now the only new formats are being controlled by content producers. Both Toshiba and (especially) Sony are big in the electronics business and with Sony pushing DRM content, and Toshiba caving to the pressure there is a bad trend. Soon enough recording indutries will control the electronics makers as well as the artists. This will form a central control that dictates what a good user will do, instead of creating an experience that matches what users want.
Unfortunatly this trend will likely see the end of nice features like soft mute for when a radio commercial runs at kill_your_hearing_in_a_heartbeat_+10dB above the normal sound. Of course with video there are already unskippable previews for dvd's, which will only get worse with the extra proprietary HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.
Here's a question, and I'd like some insight. Can the recording industries really be so dumb as to think that users, professional hackers, and independent groups will just sit idly watching their art dissolve? What would be the motivation (if any) of intentionally creating a media black market? The old saying "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is", really isn't that far from "if it seems stupid, you're probably missing something."
... let this one loose. It is a problem with windows, and it was disclosed by a responsible hacker. If you want to protect the general population still using MS software, this is the only option. Microsoft isn't about to make a secure platform on their own, so until the next big mistake hits the news they wont do anything about it.
If anything, we need earlier reporting so the public can realize just how little microsoft cares about security.
Remember, Gamecube was a failure for Nintento, and I'd argue that it was mostly because they didn't play dvds. The system wasn't thought out with the customer in mind, it was designed to pervent piracy, which just isn't a good business plan.
Here's hoping that nintendo learned their lesson and will be able to provide an excellent console without TCA protections.
Unfortunately unlike so many times in the past there is no option of voting for the "other" party. The DEM party is no more conservative, and for the most part they just fight the GOP on religious issues. The real problem is that people who have supported the GOP in the past continue to support the GOP because they fear/lothe what the DEMs are trying to do. The solution is for people to get over their fears, no matter how intense they are, and realise that living in fear isn't really living at all.
The problem is, while the universities are teaching Java, their mailing lists only advertise jobs with c/c++ experience. Neither C or C++ counts for any credit at my school, but you need to be awesome in them to get a job out of college. Bottom line: the university doesn't want to teach you, they want your money.
You used "in the future" twice in one sentence, moron. Next time think about what pithy mistakes you are likely to do at 2am and stand by your comments instead of posting anonymously. I do misspell things, and I wouldn't intentionlly misspell copyright. Ironically however, with the introduction of the DMCA, there is no longer a "copy right." If you were looking for cooperation, you went to the wrong place.
Well, that's awefully irresponsible of your company, but it doesn't matter. An NDA shouldn't cover any general statistical reporting. The whole outlook of storage reviews is model based. This is not used by dell or HP to decide what to put in their next line of junk silicon, these reviews are read by enthusiasts, and high reliability server administrators. As an example, recently Segate released a series of drives that had a high failure rate and lower performance than the previous model. People just decided to stay away from segate for a while, nothing personal. Oddly enough, at the same time they moved their warranty to 5 years so they'd have a selling point. You can't trust a warranty as a benchmark of reliability.
I have mod points, but how about if you expand on your post so it doesn't get modded to -1 overrated/offtopic. iTunes infringes on fair use rights. Get that through your thick skull. How can you turn up your nose on "illegal" p2pers while using your iTunes and rendering copywrite law useless by total lack of legitimacy? Where there is not legitimacy there is anarchy, which builds new legitimate laws. Your comment which caves to legal/social pressures is not only offtopic, it is bad for society, and reflects a personality driven by fear, not innovation. I pity you.
Well, you threw the first blow so here's my reply.
Ergonomic keyboards aren't just bad because they cost a lot, and they break in a month. I had a logitech ergonomic keyboard go out (keys started failing in about a month, and went to unusable after about 6 months). I'm not one who abuses keyboards either, the only reason I tried ergonomics was because it was supposed to be faster. That's not the real issue though.
Ergonomics is like landscaping. It might work great for someone else's yard/wrists, but yours will invariably be different. I'd say lowering stress, or learning some good key form will help more than any ergonomic keyboard. Btw, you can get key form from playing the piano, or even the trumpet.
You're absolutely correct. I only get positive feedback from about half the sellers unless I give them positive feedback. The whole feedback system is so flawed because ebay does nothing about the content of posts. Once I bought a item from a 0 seller (I know, bad idea but it was relatively cheap). The seller had about 10 items listed, I paid for mine, other buyers paid for theirs. It turns out that the seller goes on vacation without sending my item. 2 weeks I try emailing, telephoning, etc. It turns out that there are 2 women running the same ebay name, and they dont communicate with each other.
I was very disappointed by their poor service and unprofessional conduct, so I gave them bad feedback. What do I get in response? "user left wrong feedback" in my profile. It's explicitly against the rules to give vendetta feedback, but ebay just dropped my case without any notification from me that everything was ok.
In the end the problem is that to find a sellers bad side you have to dig through hundreds of butt-kissing positive comments (gotta get that + in return). In short nobody really does that. I can't look through hundreds of auctions and count tens of pages to determine if a particular auction is legit. I end up just looking for one I like and checking the top few feedbacks to make sure nobody has reported the seller as fraudulent in the past few days. Of course with ebay's lame dead sloth method of dealing with fraud, it could be 2 months before a negative feedback shows on a sellers account.
Its interesting you should take this view. I thought the same thing back when camera makers were filling the market with as many storage methods they could come up with and there was the split of SD and MMC cards. An SD card is just a MMC card with some weak form of DRM, and they started out more expensive. Over time for some reason they have come down in price, and you can't even find a MMC card any more.
The name by itself "secure digital" is false advertising, but I'm guessing price fixing had more to do with the failure of the open form. Think about it. This chip will be on your motherboard that you get in a dell, on your cheap budget boards. If things go according to plan, microsoft will require a "secure" platform to run, and suddenly only h4x0rs will be using clean computers.
