Indeed, and this interpretation also has another consequence, if you have no expectation of privacy for your email on another person's computer; then all of those bogus warning about reading/distrubiting emails that you might have gotten in error totally have no force to them (as if they ever did)
Recently someone at work got one of the Mac Pros. Chime to login 12 seconds. I was just plain floored.
One of the things that takes much more time on windows than anything else ive seen in the 'tray march' all the misc junk that loads after you login. That can be the really painful part, particularly if you have insufficient memory for windows XP
Well this is a quite interesting point. However 2 things, the car makers signed a contract. They had plenty of lawyers to look it over to tell them if it was a good idea or not. If they think they got bad advice.. sue the lawyers! (ha ha)
Also there is the reason as to why these people haven't worked for them in decades. As we know in the past (and present) there was an artificial retirement age which often was note tied to the ability to work. Also there were numerous employee buyouts in order to reduce workforce to 'save money', which were also contractual.
On a final note, how much would you like to bet that copyright extensions BS would vanish if the copyright reverted to the author after its initial run instead of the RIAA?
Well ya know if you sign an contract without reading it you are stuck with the terms unless you can invalidate the contract. Its not like Verizon does a hand full of one off contracts a year. I don't have any sympathy for them, they get bit by their screw up, well stop being evil.
On a note for 'dishonesty' Recall that verizon is the same company that lobbied to have a federal fee removed and then as soon as that was done it added its own fee of the same amount back on to pad its wallet. And guess what, none of the customers got a chance to re-negoitate their service contracts with verizon. Hows that for dishonest.
I called chase for an rfid-less card. they said they would send one. They did not. they sent YA 'blink' card. I called again and was told that if I want one that is still a 'check card' I have to pay a fee. So basically, in order to get the same security I had before I have to *pay* for it, but for free I get a feature I don't want.
Well actually they dont have the right to block *anything* they want. Assuming this is in fact going on, it can be legitimately be argued as a restraint of trade issue and anti-competitive, as Google is a primary competitor of Yahoo.
Other than Jerk Thompson's, how on earth does this case exist? On what grounds is the court asking for review? I am just at a lack here to understand how this would work. How does JT claim he deserves pre-release software for his own gratification? Not to mention that i doubt this would hold up on appeal with what I assume are amazingly specious claims.
Alas no. back in the dark and mystic days of the series of tubes, when usenet was still useFUL, there was a group called http://alt-news.net/alt.religion.santaism/">alt.re ligion.santaism
Ya know I've often has the same thought. What is the problem the radioactivity? Or that the waste is radioactive? If the radioactivity is transitory and keeping people away can be done.. what if you just took something radioactive and exposed it to more neutron radiation? The stuff becomes more unstable and radiates more, but are you not just speeding up the decay process? so if you get all the radiation all done in less time is this worse?
Well ya know what's odd. I was watching Eureka last night and Gary Chalk was on there doing a non-russian voice (like he does on SG1) and im like 'i know that voice' and lo and behold. he does the OP voice on that new series cybertron and a few of the other CGI shows.
I wonder if you would be able to detect these things by, say, keeping log of the relative offset from address 0 of actual physical ram of the box of say, the top of the kernel stack, or start of userland. If this number changes and there was no mitigating software installed, you might be able to suspect you are running in a VM.
Ahh exxon. If I may reminisce for a moment. Back a number of years ago I went to Disney in FL with my father and brother. We ended up going thru the revamped 'Universe of Energy' (or something). At the time it had narrators of Bill Nye and Ellen DeGeneres. Which I felt was a detriment to the original I saw as a child, which I don't recall being politically charged). However, Ellen brought up the issue of global warming, and Bill Nye *THE SCIENCE GUY* gave a mealy mouthed half hearted, clearly manipulated answer of something like 'That is an important topic and is in need of a lot of study.' Or something, I was too appalled to really remember. However we have him quoted as saying "Call it "global cooking," Nye suggested, or "really hot... really fast." Even a modest change from "global warming" to "global heating" might spur people to action."
Keep in mind that Connectix was the company virtual PC for the Mac and the virutal gamestation that sony tried (and failed) to sue to death, and finally bought (and buried?) These guys are really top notch. However there is no knowing that being borged has done to them.
I wonder if they are ever going to show the video of the the card throwing experiment using metal cards? With the tivo you can see that the numbers are recorded on the data sheet but the experiment isnt shown. However from the data the results looked rather lethal.
mythebusters clearly cut part of the card throwing episode. Measurements were taken for metal cards, you can see it in a tivo slomo. It was wither cut for time, or the fact that it was found that the metal cards would cause major damage.
I wonder if the study looks at the past history of media execs as they lie cheat and steal from the artists they proclaim to want to protect.
The actual workers (artists) are being used as a football here, being misused in a campaign by the *AA to retain their control of a business model in its last throes (insert Rumsfeldian definition here)

I have already written my senator.
Office for MacOS X has 2 versions: v.X (10.x) and 2004 (11.x)
There is no 'Microsoft Word 2004 v. X for Mac'

Geez, what a shock..
MS buys Mac game developer, and kills the mac version for their own game console.
MS commits to continue IE devlopment for the mac, and then kills is when faced with a better competing product (Safari)
MS buys a long time Mac devloper, and then kills the product when faced with competition.
How much longer before MS decides to "re-focus on its core market" and kills Office due to competition.
The pattern is really quite obivous.

Mebbe ppl will stop letting ISP visiting morons from touching their computers.

Well, in context, considering that nearly no one on /. is a lawyer, shouldn't it be 'obvious' they arent and IANAL unnecessary ;)

Why such a BS statement at the Disney exhibit? Sponsors: Exxon (later ExxonMobil) sponsored the pavilion from the day it opened in 1982 until early 2004.

I am quite certain that the intro on the show says "we terraformed a whole galaxy of news earths"
In other news Symantec will claim that this new thing doesn't change that Mozilla has had more exploits. Fear mongering will be alive and well.
