Having a garden hose on the side of my home is not an invitation to others to use my hose. Nor is having an open wifi connection an invitation for others to use it.
If however other are using it and I do nothing to stop them, then it could be considered an invitation based on my prior indifference or approval.
If I have a garden hose on the side of my house, and someone comes along and opens the valve I still have to pay for the water.
If someone comes along and floods the street and backs up the storm sewer, I am not responsible for that.
If someone said they would like to flood the street with my water and I knew about it and allowed it to happen, I may very well be responsible for the damages
---Actually I think there's more too this question then you'd think at first glance.
Although I am sure there are areas in Alaska that have cable, and also that many Alaskans have access to satellite television; I do think this is a question that should be asked.
I woul love to hear from Alakans about the cable TV situation in their state. I can only assume that people with Internet connections able to respond to this query would be much more likely to have cable or satellite.
What proportion of Sen. Stevens's constituency even have access to cable or even satellite TV? How does that stack up against the rest of the nation? I am all for decency, but I do have to wonder; why someone would need to regulate a private industry on what data it sends over its own infrastructure?
I don't think this would hold up in court, it would seem as though it would definately violate the 1st Amendment:...or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press... or the Fifth Amendment...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation... maybe even the nineth The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. and even the tenth The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
IANAL and am not trying to be, but this whole idea stinks --- and this is from someone who does believe in decency. I hate it when some gore or smut just comes on out of the blue, but I do not want the government mucking around in every aspect of everything.
I no longer go to American ever since they were busted with sales people secretly wearing hidden cameras "for training" - I'm sorry but It just sickened me and there isn't anything they can ever do that will ever make me feel better about them.
Since when were km french? You must mean your TheRestOfTheWorld-to-BackwardsAmericanWay cheat sheet. Notice how all science stuff is in metric, it makes more sense (Powers of ten).
Since the French Revolution
The creation of the decimal Metric System at the time of the French Revolution and the subsequent deposition of two platinum standards representing the meter and the kilogram, on 22 June 1799, in the Archives de la République in Paris can be seen as the first step in the development of the present International System of Units.
The name for the International System of Units is abbreviated SI. In French it is: Le Système International.
CHECK YOUR MATH 50g is 1.7636981 ounces and if you actually bothered to check it out, I included that in the formula I used! Yes I did take into account what an equiv. ounce would be! If you are going to check my math you better check it all!
SHHHHHHHH you are making it harder for us to prove how aweful our taxes are in the U.S.. £4.90 (GBP) is $8.82 (USD).
I would still argue however that just because your country taxes the hell out of you doesn't give ours any right to tax us any more. After all Taxes were the number one reason the colonies left. And I must say that even with all our taxes they are much better with representation.
DAMN I am still in awe of that price for Marlboros. Man it must suck. And £10 for a 50g pouch of golden virginia is $10.74 for an OUNCE! - wow!
In Canada I thought smokes were going for like anywhere from C$5.00 to C$7.50 a "20 pack" which is like $4.10 USD (£2.15 GBP) to $6.10 USD (£3.22 GBP) So you are taxed to hell in the UK.
You mean Claria? I thought they were Ad-Ware not Spy-Ware. Well I would ahve to say that law trumps EULAs any way you put it. And maybe now we'll be allowed to call Spy-ware what it is with out being sued by the company who makes it for libel or slander.
Personally I have been calling it all vomit ware for quite some time.... as in a previous post I made a while back... because cleaning it up is just like cleaning the bathroom after a night of praying to the porcelaine god.
I wouldn't divulge that info even if I had it, however it wasn't that cut and dry. They were intruders, butthey didn't remove anything. I knew them and confronted them. It was delt with, without the courts.
Will this or other programs stream video/sound to my Cell Phone?
NO But in theory if you had a web enabled phone, you could view the images or the video from your phone. But seriously Try checking out the link It tells you what the software does.
I've been using Home Watcher on the Windows side for years doing this. It's kind of a nice program for playing around with webcam surveillance for the not not too serious user. It does allow you to upload the images to a personal website and the pay-for version has even more options.
Yes I have caught intruders with it.
I'm not sure I'd use it in mission-critical settings, but for home use and a little playing around it's kind of fun to mess with.
is someone parks in my driveway without giving me five bucks, is that theft? no. it's trespass which is a totally different crime, even though it meets your definition of theft.
No. It's not theft... It's Trespassing.
Just as copying music, videos, etc isn't theft, it's copyright infringement
Just because it isn't theft doesn't mean its not wrong or bad. It's the way the music industry and the movie industry are trying to equate them to be the same level of wrong. In which case *maybe* they are right, however my whole problem with this whole thing is that:
If you can't make your case calling an apple an apple, what makes you think calling it an orange is going to help?
True, they are both fruit, but they aren't the same thing. In the end, what the public's perception is of a particular ting is what really counts. Despite all the lobbying, in the end the people are the ones who vote and no amount of money from anyone is going to change that.
The *AA had better watch out. They are continually biting the hand that feeds them and regular everyday people are starting to notice. Even after all of this... everything that has happened in the last 5 years they refuse to change the way the operate. Sure many people will suffer at the legal hands of these media giants in the mean time, but in the end they will have to evolve.
I'm already starting to download media produced by everyday people who release it on the internet free for the taking. It's only a matter of time before the entire landscape changes and MOST content is produced by "the little guy" and the *AAs fade into obscurity.
"Give the people what they want!" This is the cry of a free market. You do not have to give it away for free, but it should be available at a fare and honest price. Currently thereis nothing free and honest about the media industry and the people just don't give a damn about them losing profits over copyright infrengement.
Always be sure to tell the people you manage what it is you are doing (in general). Tell them what changes you are implementing and what work is coming up that needs to be done.
You do not need to explain yourself or tell them why (It doesn't hurt, but in the end you are the boss). But you must tell them what is going on. People need that.
Light is always following a straigt path even near largely massive objects, it is space-time that is curved and that's why it looks as though light is bending when in reality it's space-time.
Draw a straight line on a rubber band. Then bend the rubber band. The line is still straight, but the rubber band it's on is bent (curved).
Light has no mass. What you are thinking about is called "relativistic mass" where you work it out using E=MC^2. But quit it! that isn't how it works! Relativistic mass is best left unused.
Mass = sqrt(E2/c4 - p2/c2) and by that definition Light has no mass. Not to mention if light had mass it couldn't go the speed of light, duh!
The whole point of all this realivity stuff is Newton's laws weren't working. You don't need mass to be affected by the curvature of space-time
I haven't watched it much, but didn't they replace the hot and likeable 'rommy' with some stupid blonde ditz?
Yes. They did this because the actress that played Romi got pregnant. So as for the android Romi, she is now that blonde you speak of. HOWEVER Romi is still there as the ship's AI since the prgnant parts need not be filmed. I think they did it because they could figure out any other way to explain how an android would get pregnant.
You may be able to prove Natural Selection or even controlled breeding, but you can not prove Evolution --That doesn't make evolution wrong, but it can not be elevated to the status of a fact either
Many do not consider dogs and wolves to be seperate species. And for now, the creationists can still argue that cats begat cats and mice begat mice and so on. Many times I read or heard the phrase "and may be the same species" in regards to dogs and wolves.
What, in science, makes anything seem possible -including creationism- is the wonders of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and even String Theory (Again all theories and as they all stand now none of them is "all inclusive" either) but if Energy and Matter are as interchangeable as they seem to be, we could be in for a very big mess.
As per another post God could have created all of this several thousand years ago and just made it look really old --- which would mean God has one hell of a sense of humor. Or things we believe are constants (such as radioactive decay or the speed of light) really aren't.
One of the problems with science is when you base an idea on another unproven idea or set of ideas. And I think this is easily seen with the "junk" science of the day... Eat this, don't eat that... then 5 years later they say the exact oposite. or even global cooling -vs- global warming.... people freak out about either, yet both have been commonly thrown around with what is sometimes some very sloppy science. We have yet to understand how climate works, yet we're daft enough to take a miniscule sample of data and project vast assumptions.
What should be taught is an understanding of how science works and why BEFORE we even start talking about Biology, Chemestry or Physics.

You do realize that the captions that were added in are actually completely wrong. Your quicktime file says Edison was showing how dangerous DC was.
Edison Supported DC, Tesla and Westinghouse supported AC. We use AC because AC works and is less dangerous DESPITE Edison trying to tell us otherwise.
You mean I gotta plug this in to one of them old telephone jacks?!?!
it's been a while, but whatever happened to just going to a shell and typing knx-hdinstall ? Seemed to work just fine
How would this help? If I stole someone's wallet with their family picture in it, could I not then use the cellphone?

We're all dying.... We all are.

Is that the British Quadrillion or the American Quadrillion? - There is a difference.
