Kind of twilight zonish don't you agree? I still expect to peel back my skin one day to see gears and rods and sh!t:D
Cell phones can be 1/4 watt in a handset, 3watt in-car mounted. A home cordless phone will be no where near this powerful. I personally won't put a 1/4 watt next to my head on a daily basis. More power to those who do...
They are also basically banned in hospitals though their universal policy on that. Interference can occur at anytime for a host of reasons. What if 6 people all were on cell phones at the same time. the EMI can get heavy.
Indeed it is an overdone precausion. They can easily eliminate it by testing all the aircrafts with all models of cell phones in all concentrations. Or force Cell phone manufacturers to certify their phones on every plane. Can't see anyone doing this. Likely they will just pay off the FCC to "say" its safe...
"The system would block frequencies normally used by cellphones and force cell customers to 'roam' on the new network."
Say which? How can one "roam" AND be on an abnormal frequency???
In any event, I guess their saying they will turn an airplane into an in-flight cell tower. Personally I get my share of EMF without a cell phone but that aside...
Sounds like a good business model. Planes are increasingly boring. THey can just slow down the flight a tad bit, and watch the chatting ramp up...It will likely feel like being in the NT stock exchange. Ugh.
$50 extra to be in the cell phone section. $75 extra to be in the NO cell phone section.;)

I hope you catch my drift. Simply text scans will not reveal the information you contained in your picture of the CD your selling. Anyone that even sees the CD should know its a CD-R. This of course applies to anything you sell on ebay.
I wouldnt expect them to catch it unless they read each add personally. Which they cant afford to. Well except for M$ who they just reject anything with that name in it anyway...

They buy a factory but first they gotta pay engineers and equipment and such. So you gotta be burning at least X number of CDs before its even considerable.
Then how do you stop the "Owners" of the factory from deciding this is a way to profit? Everyone can't own the factory right. You cant GPL the thing...So again, the factory slowly jacks its price up as more people use it and eventually its part of the existing CD writing price collusion that is Sony-Phillips.
Appearantly ebay received a notification that the seller was infringing on someones copyright. ebay refused to tell him who CLAIMED they owned HIS copyright.
So ebay heeded some bad advice and they wont say who they got it from.
We need software that will automaticaly read the header, then lookup the server it came through and forward the spam to the server it came through with a note.

you fool. My mother is legally blind and she is using the web now. such a damn pain.
You will find in general that the things that help the legally blind are the same things good webmasters will be doing anyway. Anyone that gets too happy with the frames and and over nests their pages, and presents text as pictures or FLASH does not deserve their website read by anyone.
Text is bandwidth friendly. She just made an ignorant ruleing. I bet shes republican. Conservative. What garbage.

Too bad they wont promise that the cure will be in the public domain. I won't contribute to that if they are going to hold my friends and family hostage if they find something with my cycles...
And should you be allowed to choose who desires to read your website. Many people can be legally blind but Bird watchers. What about the people with the degenerative diseases? Who was a bird watcher all his life and contributed to the community all his life, but now he can't even read the website that quotes his work profusely.
If given the choice, everyone will say they don't serve the blind simply because nobody is really targeting the blind for their produce unless its a specifically blind aide product...
Why should a book have more authority than the US Government? Accessiblility has been LAW for some time now. Just because you ignore it does not mean its legal to do so.
My mother is legally blind and I help her with windows usage often. Frames can be done if the Author is concious of what he/she is doing. But trash such as right clicking to save a page and the page not saving because its appearing through some deep linkage garbage is terrible. Screen readers can not dig through all that garbage.
The days when we all use HTML editors to do our websites were much kinder. Now that we use non-html tools, the generated code is quite a mess but no one cares. YOu used to be able to even read a web page through telnet. You can forget it now.
Hes right on all the flash TV Wannabe jibberish. But you can always have 2 sites. In stead of frames / non-frames, go Standard, or accessible. An accessible site can be BLAND and just a list of links and pages such as generated by TUX> or whatever that linux html generator thingy is.
Glad to see this. M$ has been bullsitting on Accessibility for ages. Though they are far ahead of Linux.
Im surprised that story is by MSNBC considering everything M$ is instantly pulled from ebay for some reason they dig up. I have had so many legitimate M$ product auctions shut down.
THey just shut down my 2 celeron auctions because I said the bidder would have to pay the paypal CC costs if they used a CC.
They are uptight. But yes, they shut me down at the last section so I couldnt make the changes. THey must be too busy taking money to check the auctions...
In any event, yahoo auctions is the underground auction with nothing BUT fraud. I have NEVER had a fradulent auction on ebay. All 2 of my tries (to purchase) on yahoo were fradulent.
Scripting is close to the true reason linux admin takes less effort.
With linux the admin's education is never limited because everything is open to inspection. With windows the admin's education is limited to what M$ wants them to know. Thus severly handicapping their diagnostic abilities and their intuition.
This effectively reduces the effect of eXPerience for the windows admin. A 5 year windows vet will likely be no smarter than a 3 year vet. However, a 5 year linux vet has every opportunity to exceed his 3 year counterpart.

Everytime I say this on slashdot I get hammered by how "open" sun has made Java. Its about as open as that worm sitting on the hook in your face.
I also noticed he said they didn't patent their most secret information. That was interesting. BAsically they patented things they wanted to sell, but did not patent their secrets. Thats counterintuitive to how patents seem to be advertised.

Its much easier to prosecute the innocent than to even approach the truly criminal.
Innocent people openly let you know what they are doing. Just analogise it with some criminal behavior and appear to be security concious.
