If it goes to court, SearchKing wouldn't be able to use the data on PageRank to further its business. They'd be under NDA, and they'd be foolish to think Google isn't technically competent enough to find and prove any breach of the NDA should SearchKing try to skirt it.
Now I feel like a simp. I'm used to the last sentance or so being from the editor. Thanks for making me check my work.
I should save attacking michael's excessive zeal for when he's actually guilty.;-)
What you can expect (real post)

TiVo and Rendezvous

This won't allow you to share shows...yet. Although I can see a big market for being able to share shows within a household.
This is for showing pictures and mp3s off your network, and if you think about the bandwidth of those things, 802.11b should be just fine. Program data doesn't usually exceed 5 MB (remember, TiVo was designed to do that over poor modem connections), and since it grabs 10 days ahead of Today and processes at 50 mhz (on series 1), an 802.11g connection isn't going to help.
The other big feature that nobody's talking much about is one I have been using for awhile now. Remote scheduling. I have full remote management via the TivoWeb project (tivo.lightn.org), and love it. When I had a job, it was nice to be able to schedule something a coworker might mention, or something I had forgotten to schedule but was going to miss, without having to be at home to do it.
I think this kind of interconnectivity can lead the way to seamless integration of set top boxes so that every TV in a home has one.
Of course Real expects people to adopt this or they wouldn't have developed it. We should all just be happy that there's finally an alternative to the Microsoft DRM.
"This broadcast is copyright of Fox Networks and the NFL. Any reproduction or retransmission of this telecast without the express written consent of Fox or the NFL is strictly prohibited."...and on and on.
This goes for everything on TV too. It's not strictly a case about commercials, or viewer tracking, or perfect copies vs. degraded copies. Networks own the content, so beyond personal fair use (which does not include retransmission, say...over the internet.), you can't show it or share it.
Now, the TiVo model seems to fit within personal fair use because you're just saving the shows to watch yourself like you would with a VCR. Conversely, I think parts of the ReplayTV model are illegal because it allows you to share shows with other people. Now, if you shared last night's Everybody Loves Raymond with your dad because he missed it, I don't think anyone's going to mind. But if you shared that new Simpsons episode that aired a year ago with some guy who found you on the internet, you're cutting into what the network would consider to be their syndication audience, and I think they would mind since many shows like Friends aren't even profitable until they hit syndication.
The internet is great folks, but it's not meant for you to put up a server (or P2P node) sharing other people's "property" with a large anonymous audience.
I get the feeling this isn't the direction Apple had in mind when they released all that code. I got the feeling they wanted people working on compatibility layers for Darwin, not for non-Apple OSes. I think Apple has the ability to pull the plug at any time, so it might be nice to see some of this work going both ways.
Most FreeBSD users I know have no interest in Photoshop or Office anymore now that the alternatives are as mature as they are. I think users of any BSD would enjoy this new compatibility, but I think it could be just as valuable to everyone (except MS) if MacOS X gained some compatibility layers.
All of the game stores I frequent in my area do some form of self regulation at least with notorious titles like GTA.
My parents used to put a lock on the power cord to the TV. I think their solution here would be to lock the PS2 in a file cabinet and run some sort of check out system so that they could monitor what's on the screen when I'm playing. I can already hear the whining from parents who let the PS2 babysit their kids, but I don't see how their incompetence should affect my ability to get a game.
Furthermore, I'm adamently against government regulation. If they created a simple enough ratings system, stores can police themselves.
I don't think it makes more sense from the perspective that it IS actually publishing in those locations. But I do support your "US" standpoint more because enforcement of the other approach means to be lawful, you'd be expected to follow all laws everywhere, which takes "just because you don't know the law doesn't mean you're not held to it" to a new ridiculous level.
We don't so much blame California as we blame all of the Californians who moved here during the 90s. "Welcome to Oregon, are you sure you didn't leave the oven on?"
We used to vote very progressively, but things like that are being shot down left and right by people with some strange sense of entitlement and an SUV in the garage. Oregonians know you don't need an SUV to get around in a little rain.
Sweeping generalizations aside, this sounds like a great way to tax the people who use the roads. Roads are less like schools in the sense that even people who don't use them benefit greatly from their strength, and here in Oregon we're having a very hard time keeping our roads in working order. Much of this is due to overuse of studded snow tires in a metropolitan area that sees zero to very few inches of snow a year, and never any that lasts more than a day or so. I drive about 5k miles a year, and that usually includes 2 long out of state road trips. I'd love it if people who drive an hour to work each way paid the bulk of the bill. However, I don't know how this could cover all the Washingtonians who commute from Vancouver everyday.
For me, Futurama is the pinnacle of TV greatness, while Family Guy was at times grating (though often funny). I'm sure someone in just the right position saw it like I did.
Or perhaps the show from the creator of The Simpsons has a little history backing it.
I'm 27 and my earliest memory is from 3.5 years old of my mom bringing my little brother home from the hospital and me holding him for the first time. I do have some other hospital related memories from that time period, but the holding my brother one is the only one that has sufficient details for me to be sure it's not made up based on what I know now.
Current physical evidence collection and examination is as tamper prone as anything in the digital world, DRM or no DRM.
As a taxpayer I don't want to see them mess with DRM for cost reasons, until they start running up against criminals who are getting off because of its absence.
Furthermore, if a defense attorney razzles a jury with more tech than they can see through, I'd blame the prosecutor before I'd blame the lack of DRM.
And a thousand floggings for anyone too lasy to enter a basic passphrase. The hassle of having to enter one often is the best way to make your average moron remember their passphrase.
Now a confession about an out-and-out lie is a whole other ballgame when it comes to compensation. And Tom could sue the district if his career path were affected by the events described. Even if the girl retracted her retraction, there would be no way to convict him short of clear physical evidence.
"A" for effort, but that's a whole different story than a corporate dispute running it's course.
Good luck Hollywood! Please, this time around keep track of how much you spend on these shenanegins vs how much you save. Be realistic about how much money "piracy of television" is really costing you. I, for one, just don't see any hope of this paying off, and I don't want to have to go through this again when you fail to learn your lesson. If my $1500 HD-ready TV isn't adaptable to the new system, I'm going to chuck it through your window and demand my money back.
What's the cost of bandwidth at the top of the food chain? Is it mathematically possible (barring all mistakes) to break even selling 768k broadband to end users at some kind of reasonable rate? It feels like the sky is falling.
Why is this trial not being recognized by any of the major news outlets? It's of fairly great significance to big media as well as people involved with new technology, and yet I can't find mention of it on TV or even at the greatest depths of any of the major news agency websites. I can see why Disney might want to keep it quiet, but as for the rest of the world, I'm at a loss for understanding on this one.
Ahahahaha!!! Now look what you've done...a gun thread on Slashdot. A truly mature forum would have known better.
All good natured kidding aside, part of the problem with finding unbiased studies or what not is that there are no controlled scientific circumstances in the world. In the absence of clear-cut control (not gun control) groups, everyone involved in the issue tries to frame their argument with some sort of "well in this SIMILAR country we see that _______ happens." To which their opposition points out the flaw in their methods, and the argument disintegrates into the usual comments from there.
If you have to debate this issue with anyone, it's best to look at where they're coming from and try to create as sympathetic a statement as possible. Even then you have to realize 95% of people aren't going to be persuaded.
To me, it boils down to a couple of things:
Our forefathers deemed the right to bear arms as essential. We may need to constantly assess whether that's still appropriate, but to me it still is. Limiting our gun rights so that we can only own flint lock muskets built at the time the Bill Of Rights was created would dilute the intent of that ammendment to the point of being pointless.
I'm a gun owner who likes to go out and shoot produce and pop cans. It's fun for me. I'm not going to shoot anyone, ever, unless we're invaded I suppose. If we're a country that claims to be so free, why should such a harmless activity be outlawed? If we have a problem with gun violence, perhaps we should better address the reasons people get violent before we start blanket bans that affect the responsible among us.
Just when I thought I had retired from posting to gun threads...

Having worked for a DRM company (not MS), I can verify that this is exactly what's going on here.

Swell web programming by the uspto, but "The search has expired."
Sony invoked the DMCA to prevent all sites from publishing information about the former console saying that it lacked copy protection.

Does anyone know of any good, existing CafePress type T-shirts with this "Only Terrorists Use 802.11" slogan? I feel compelled to wear this.
Let's face it, we hate ads period. Just as there's huge business in pushing ads, there's a decent buck to be made providing ad blocking tools.
