Because no one has ever been classified mentally ill for the sake of someone political ambition..
I'm not strictly trying to be snarky here, but when you have cases already in which prosecutors refuse to have old evidence tested for DNA because they 'know' they have the right man on death row (looking at you Texas)... this too will be abused.... and now its the law of the land.
Id like to repsond to both you and your parent. I am also in IT and i find the real secret it to only do things when you have them in writing. Of course keeping in mind that I'm at the bottom of my food chain, I just do, then report, and forget. I let others make teh administrative decisions. I only deal with technology. If I can't fix it by putting my hands physically, or virtually on it, I punt.
I want to prepend my ignorance in this area, however one thing that occrs to me in your complaint is that isnt this really how the OSI model works? The higher level (container) has the info it needs to pass its payload along to the next level. http, being a payload in the data of IP, and so on. Now I cannot speak to if this makes sense in the contact of media storage, but parsing deep into the media itself would seem to be out of scope of a container, and then end up being a crutch that could break later for yet unimagined content.
If error message is 'jargon' then i think someone needs to go back and take remedial english. Those 2 words together which indicate an out of normal context alert... yeah I expect a normal person to be able to piece that together.
Well then the counter to this that there will need to be a standardized framework for every sales tax levying entity to publish their tax rates in a normalized, portable and regulated format.
IIRC here in NYS, there are some products that are (or used to be) taxed differently depending on which dept in the store they were in. So there is more then mere collection going on here. Not to mention the fact that there are ppl who live in one county/town but the postal address is in another county/town/tax district.
In short, the states/localities have their own crap to deal with first.
Well recently I tested an iPhone and it passed ACID 3 with 100, at the time the Pre's WebOS browser only got 1. With 1.3.1, its up to 73, but the rendering is a mess, and it goes into a reload loop when it gets to the end.
Are you referring to the drop on a CRT TV? Going forward the technology that makes displays viable for the power on mobile devices will be prevalent in non mobile devices.
Yes there may be a good reason for relatively high voltage AC, but many of our modern devices aren't using raw AC anymore. What we have left are high draw things: motors/compressors, transformers, heating elements. So to over simplify, appliances.
Id like to see some kinda standard for domestic DC. USB is common for chargers, but they all are wall warts for AC of some type.. Mebbe an outlet with 1 AC and 1 DC with an internal rectifier?
I cant see using USB for things like your TV of DVD player, so something a bit more robust might be in order.
They could have 1 ad for every 1 minute of show. The budget will be cut and the production values to follow, and we'll be left with what was left of sg-1 and SGA, poor meatginder plots.
Nice job of ignoring the fact that when bnetd was being devloped Blizzard battlenet was down at least 30% of the time because it couldn't handle the load.

I feel that both your comment and its moderation are woefully ignorant of the point of the parent's comment. I refer you to the previous slashdot story.
Google notes that more than half (57%) of the takedown notices it has received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998, were sent by business targeting competitors and over one third (37%) of notices were not valid copyright claims."
So, no its not the "exact same" purpose its "always" used for. In this case it appears it would be used for be used for its proposed intention. As for the "unknown reason" for sympathy, it appears that its not the the use that more than half would be being used.. to diminish competition.
If USB devices were to show up as 'network adapters' with some kinda minimal IP stack, then it could be a network storage device and the vendor's software can talk to whatever the back end device's native file system is, by even as something as crazy as WebDAV.
The benefit is that you have totally abstracted the device from the host OS, and the benefit is platform neutrality.
In the 'Fisherman' link in this article it goes to an old story by CT, which links to the ACLU on tops for writing elected officials. That link is out of date, the updated link is http://www.aclu.org/files/gen/13516res20021209.html
While there are a number of hints when dealing with any laptop tear down, however this is what I learned from more than one iBook (g3) teardown.
Each step, put all the screws in that set up a separate area (not unusual). However with the g3, many steps had a *lot* of multi sized screws. What I did was did a rough sketch of their relative positions and sizes; (xs,s,m,l, etc). You can find tear down instructions with screw sizes, but really, can you tell a 3mm from a 3.5mm?
Also, if you aren't going for immediate reassembly, you can lay out a strip of clear packing tape, and stick them down, separating them by step. Seal them over when disassembly is done, roll-up and store. You can slice them open one step at a time when putting it back together.
I have been telling people for years the same thing, when you become the snitch, you are expected to snitch on everything. You miss something and now *bam* you are accessory after the fact.
Not to mention that wait until they get sued by their own customers.

Umm really? When I get off work at 5pm, I desperately want a nap. Perhaps your job isn't working you hard enough?

Sadly, HR people 1) dont know what you just stated and 2) Don't bother to bring someone in with a clue to vet their candidates.

I'm not trying to grief, and it is certainly consistent with reality, but is this documented anywhere?

There is another way, but its not much better.
