Apple has demonstrated an interest in pushing DRM technology (ITMS, anyone?). The fact that they're smart enough to avoid being card-carrying members of the TCPA (or whatever it's called this week to avoid the stigma), I wouldn't trust them to not implement this.
Even if that's the case, the signs were still put up (probably) illegally on Apple's behalf. I doubt Apple's going to do anything to call attention to their phony "guerrilla marketing" based on defacing public spaces. (Granted, the spaces were probably already being defaced, but that's neither here nor there.)
I rather doubt Apple will draw attention to the issue by suing a dissatisfied customer. And I don't know that the libel issue is so cut and dried, given that the kids can produce an iPod whose battery lasted 18 months.
There's a Windows program called WhereIsIt that works nicely for that purpose. $39.95 crippleware, though. Don't know what free or less expensive alternatives there are.
Well, net pirates are never going to use the original MPEG2 stream due to it's huge size. Since they will have to reencode anyway, this is no problem at all.
Never say never. Not long ago, people said "pirates are never going to use the original 44.1kHz AIFF stream due to its huge size." They were half right--pirates aren't (they're swabbing decks and digging up treasure or something), but some people who are infringing copyrights sure are.
In an open source product, the diffs would be out in minutes to remove this crap, thankfully. With closed source, it takes a few days for the crack to appear:).
If their "corporate security" depends upon no one knowing they have G5s or what the place looks like, they've got bigger problems than a temp doing some blogging.
Of course, this would parallel their software development efforts.
Wow! What a comeback. There was no reference to my employer in that (purely theoretical, of course) post. For all you know, I might be some kind of crazed terrorist mercenary. But that'd fit your narrow petty little world view nicely, wouldn't it?
Here's another brainstorm: How about employers stop acting like jackbooted thugs before someone whose livelihood has been taken away for some unimportant slight to some executive's pride or royal prerogative comes in with a bomb strapped to his chest and blows their front office to kingdom come someday?
Speakeasy's good, but static IP is no longer the default. The inexpensive plans (e.g. $49.95) come with a dynamic IP and use PPPoE. Good plans are still available from Speakeasy, but you have to make sure to order the right one.
For some reason, I hadn't parsed that you wanted to host your *own* services. (The 1&1 claims to offer DNS, WWW, and email--but hosted with them, of course.)
As others have suggested, I'd look into Speakeasy. For now, they're pretty reasonable to folks who run their own services. And the extra $50 you're paying should put you into the price range of 3.0 Mbps/768 Kbps service.
OK, fair enough--Apple copied it from Windows. The point remains the same--the Dock is basically a glorified icon-based taskbar/group of minimized icons. The only reason they C&D some little lone programmer is because they can. Stardock seems to still be selling their ersatz Dock.
Crippleware author whines because integration of obvious feature into a new version of an OS dried up the market for a $15 single purpose utility. NEXT!
Soon after they go public, they'll try to monetize searches by charging a subscription fee, or adding Salonesqe intrusive ads. At that point, worthwhile sites will start blocking the Googlebot. From there, it's a death spiral.

There's precedent for that in Galaga.

Now hardware vendors can blow off developing drivers for Linux. "Just download the wrapper and use the Win32 driver."

by scum like Cyveillance, which also falsifies user agents and shifts IP subnets to avoid being blocked from crawling pages.
Or is it just like every other dictatorship, with one set of standards for the plebes and another for the ruling class?

And that's precisely why I don't work in your company. Seig Heil!

. . . 1&1 hosting is claiming to offer 3 years of hosting free. Since TANSTAAFL, there must be a catch; I just haven't figured it out yet.

I'll find yzdock and share it on every p2p network I can find--thanks for the tip.

Moderators on crack. That's not news. You're new here, aren't you?
"Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to? 9.0.3.5.7.6.8.e164.arpa" doesn't have the same ring to it.
