Movie theatres throw people out that use cell phones, and they don't allow people with video cameras in.
They throw people out who use them 'badly' as in disturbing others. If I have mine on vibrate and leave the movie to take the call I'm perfectly within my 'rights'(no rants on what a 'right' is in this case please...)
The video camera is banned for obvious reasons, you would be duplicating the service for which they are charging admission.
Yes that's their rule, but wildly different than airwave restrictions.
I see...So we sold them to Saddam to fund our black ops that resulted in Stealth aircraft that bombed the crap out of him.
At least now we can get them back...

Fair enough. I just don't see anything that requires a 'new' business to start their list with this do not call list. It says they need to check every three months. So if the check is forced on business start up fine, but it doesn't say that. So I, cynically speaking, see that as a three month free calling window.
Why do I see a flood of Tele-Marketers in business for 2 months and 30 days?
1. Start Business
2. continuing annoying calls for 2 months 30 days
3. Close down company selling list to 'new' company coincidentally with same owner.
4. Repeat
How does this list prevent this from happening? All of the do not call, do not spam ideas involve prosecuting offenders, but not tracking down the people who aren't going to obey the rules anyway. THAT's what we really need. I know there are marginally better laws in place to stop phone bandits but it's a royal pain tracking them down.
Agreed, but also the subject matter of those movies gave, I think, as much or more motivation for being 'pure' and un-edited.
I doubt an unedited public airing of Fast Times at Ridgemont High would hold water with too many people.
A side note: Schindler's List wasn't commercial free. There was a 3(?) minute intermission in the middle with a silent company logo on screen. And the advertiser...Ford. I will always remember that because it was understated and appropriate. A shame more advertisers don't get that.
They did do something about it. They asked the engineers if it was a safety problem, and the engineers said "No"
The engineers said there 'might' be a problem and it needed investigation. The beauracracy said 'No Problem' to the point of cancelling the engineer requested satellite image gathering.
Exactly. A friend of mine who is a pilot, has forgotten to turn his off a few times when he goes flying. His battery is just about gone after only an hour in the air.
No problems getting reception up to 3000 ft, but you get LOTS of extra transmissions switching from tower to tower.
Probably because I think most people have either forgotten to turn off their phones or sat next to someone who used their phone, and the flight went perfectly fine.
This breeds the concept that it can't happen, rather than it just didn't happen that particular time.
Passenger: Awesome bass beat dude
Pilot: Ooops...we lost power
Passenger: So no more Boom Boom?
Pilot: Well it doesn't autorate, so one more Boom...but it'll be big!

he actually said every 'other' person. So his math, while completely idiotic in it's purpose, is legit...
That said IPv6 needs to happen.

No those are typically gold-plate.

Nobody knows *where* the funding for a black projects come from, but there is a ton of it.

Anyone have info to allay said cynicism?

I have ancient/old PCs currently serving in a security mode...

AFAIK LAN streaming is still working. Internet streaming has been neutered.
So that means only Al Gore can stream over the internet?
Not if you're currently in your car you can't.
I too am addicted to my iPod, but imagine an FM tuner and mp3 encoder built in as well. The perfect walk-about device.

"we believe this is a great offer to consumers who are now realizing the power of online music services"
That's it, the consumer is just now realizing the power of online music. Sheesh.

The few women got creative and in the 'converted' mens bathrooms, they put plants in the urinals. Even I'd water plants if it was THAT easy!
They are either stupid, reckless, or downright shifty.

Can't Al Gore claim prior art?
No but he can claim prior bark...
sure...they had to eat something ;-)

And one other point that M$ usually takes great pains to make...think of the training costs to switch to Linux.
