I thought the Napster case, if not setting precedence, gave insight into the idea that your jurisdiction is where the servers are. After all, if not for the servers, then the infringement could not take place.
In this case, the house is in Tampa, not only serving up webcam feeds, but where "the action" is taking place. It almost seems trivial that the images are distributed over the internet, since the place of manufacture is clearly in Tampa.
Yes, according to the article all services shut down by Oct. 22nd.
Incoming e-mail servies shut down Oct. 11th as a result of most of their servers being taken offline. So you have 7 days to notify people you're changing your e-mail address.
In many cases, Ponemon said, the companies sent the information on their own initiative in order to assist the terrorism investigation. Some firms, such as airlines and car rental agencies, are breaking their privacy policies by sharing data to analyze suspicious activity.
I'm no expert on corporate privacy policies, but isn't there some sort of force majuere clause about giving information to law-enforcement authorities under extraordinary circumstances? Unlike info sharing between companies, law enforcement will not sell the data, spam or make marketing calls during dinnertime.
Sharing data between corporations though should be a violation of privacy, since they are not proper law-enforcement authorities.
And what will they do with those lists when the companies are done investigating?
But rather the slacking sysadmins who do not keep up with the latest security patches. Like anyother form of security (i.e. virus scanning) they should be monitored and maintained on a constant basis.
StarOffice could be a strong competitor to Office if for nothing other than the price. At $479.00 a head, this adds up awfully quickly. Not to mention saving on upgrade fees in the future.
We shall see if corporations are ready to give up some functionality (admittedly, MS Office is still the one to beat there) to save on costs.
They did the right thing and paid the original creator for use of the technology.
The patent covers more than more than the act of pausing, it covers the way the way it's achieved. Instead of using this technology, they might have developed something different to achieve a similar result.
This type of advertising only frustrates users and creates animosity between advertiser and potential customer. This is an obvious and sometimes extreme nuisance, having to shut down your broweser at times!
Alienating your audience is not a good business practice.
The Pentium is not the only computer I own. (The other is a Pentium III, 933 MHz). I was merely demonstrating that WMA uses more system resources and is less efficient than MP3.
This is a factor if you're listening to music and running other apps, surfing etc.
AT & T has the money and infrastructure capabilitird to avoid someone else running their network. For most other startups, the investment in the wiring, etc. needed is too great.
Believe me, if @Home could run their own network, they would have.
My current job had a much higher rate of pay than my previous so I accepted it as a part-time position, which later grew to full time. If my pay is cut, then my hours will be scaled back as well. Hopefully things won't be too tight so that I couldn't enjoy a little "working vacation" here in Florida.
IMHO, I feel the effect of digital distribution has minimal impact on the sale of CD's. Sales have declined in recent months, but then again, the economy has slowed down as well.
It's nice to have a convenient scapegoat, rather than looking other other forces, such as the economy, personal tastes or even product quality.

This will go well until the RIAA finds out people are trading pirated MP3's on the network, so they'll sue and shut it down.
Let's take a step back for a second...
Maybe what you say may happen, if you did something wrong. Otherwise, it's "Move along, nothing to see here".
I understand the concern about privacy, but lets face it, this was an unprecedented event in our country's history.
Let's just see what happens before we get all panicky.
From the article:
In many cases, Ponemon said, the companies sent the information on their own initiative in order to assist the terrorism investigation. Some firms, such as airlines and car rental agencies, are breaking their privacy policies by sharing data to analyze suspicious activity.

And what will they do with those lists when the companies are done investigating?
The fuel made the explosion worse, but anything the size of an airplane hitting a building at 350+ MPH will do some serious damage.
Electrical fires can still result from such an impact.
But rather the slacking sysadmins who do not keep up with the latest security patches. Like anyother form of security (i.e. virus scanning) they should be monitored and maintained on a constant basis.

With MS raising the price, it might come to pass.
They did the right thing and paid the original creator for use of the technology.

Then there'd be no trouble here.
To answer your question:
Titanium implies that it's strong and modern. Titanium is stronger than steel, yet roughly half the weight.
It's all about the marketing. There's even Titanium credit cards, too.
And I thought X-10 was bad!

I have a somewhat old computer (Pentium, 233MHz) running with 256 MB of RAM. WMA lags, skips and generally does not sound good.
MP3, on the other hand, plays back clearly.
Let's make cars illegal because some drunk may use it as a weapon on someone.
This is definitely what this country's legal system is not about. What ever happened until "innocent until proven guilty"?
Unbelievable.
I just received a "home-built" computer as a gift.
Never thought it might be illegal one day.
IP rights protection is one thing, but when it affects even activities not necessarily related to IP, something is wrong.
AT & T has the money and infrastructure capabilitird to avoid someone else running their network. For most other startups, the investment in the wiring, etc. needed is too great.
Believe me, if @Home could run their own network, they would have.
To previous Slashdot story.
Hope this helps.

I've seen that one as a sig here.
$666,000.
Isn't that a little ironic?
The best version of all doesn't have those silly pop-under ads!
Of course you can use your palm. However, I find it easier to use my fingers to press the little buttons on my TV.
I will not buy copy-protected CD's. I will take them back to the store and I will take my money elsewhere.
Since they do not play in certain devices, and there is no disclaimer indicating such, they can be considered defective product sold intentionally.
We can vote "no" on this with our many happy returns.

Perhaps it might have anyway.

Stripping away fair use legally or not legally does not make it right.
The legality of the method was not in question, but rather the crux of the peroblem. The copyright industry does have force of law behind them.
Fair use wasn't even law, merely doctrine or guildelines.
