The nail in the coffin for the officer though was probably some online comments he had left on an arrest video that included, "If he wanted to tune him up some, he should have delayed cuffing him... If you were going to hit a cuffed suspect, at least get your moneyâ(TM)s worth â(TM)cause now heâ(TM)s going to get disciplined for a faggot-ass love tap."
Your DVDs, almost every commercial one you own, has DRM on it. You're just lucky the DRM was broken and the MPAA could not upgrade the DRM without making the prior players obsolete.
DRM is not related to quality in any real way here. Quality is more of a function of things like bitrate, not the DRM in itself.
You bring up client choice; it's like how Youtube dismayed me by going with flash. Sure it was universal in browsers, but early on it looked like crap and was awful on PPC macs. However, the fact that I didn't really need to install plugins meant I could watch it in internet cafes and kiosks etc.
Actually, this beta was announced in October 2008, and Mac users rejoiced because finally there was a Mac-compatible way to watch Netflix streaming.
That link cited in the article is actually a blog post that made Mac users like myself jubilant last year. I have not had a problem since, and there are no other links in the article for me to get a better impression. My guess is that Netflix is pushing people to the Silverlight player, which is all Mac users had in the first place. Is that what's happening?
There is no problem on the Mac side, as far as I can see. It requires an Intel Mac, but the previous netflix worked on no Macs at all.
That's quite a lot of fearmongering in this article.
If you agree to the EULA, you agree that CNN can use your bandwidth, and that you will pay any costs.
CNN is afraid of being sued by someone if that person's ISP makes them pay an overage fee.
Also, you lose the right to monitor your own network traffic. You can't even use information collected by your own firewall. Quoting the EULA: 'You may not collect any information about communication in the network of computers that are operating the Software or about the other users of the Software by monitoring, interdicting or intercepting any process of the Software. Octoshape recognizes that firewalls and anti-virus applications can collect such information, in which case you not are allowed to use or distribute such information.'
Well, you quoted the relevant bit. They're basically saying you cannot spy on other users of the network (standard EULA rule), and since this is P2P, other users data will go through your network so please don't snoop on other users.
The benefit Apple harped upon in Steve Jobs' keynote was the higher data rates (many times faster than EDGE and nearly as fast as wifi, they claimed), and how pages load quicker, google maps scroll faster, and the many apps can communicate faster.
America never cared about video calls on a 3G, but then again its relatively new here
Pork still isn't that healthy to eat today, loaded with fat and about half the world population does not have refrigerators or freezers or adequate means to eat it safely
Had Apple raised the price of all songs in the store, as the labels wanted, then that would be selling out. Declaring a price drop to $.069 and saying that more songs would be at that level than the top tier is not selling out, and if anything squeezes the labels more by reducing their revenue.
Apple's new LCD display is a dock, plug in your USB and dvi and power into the display directly and you can use bluetooth mice and keyboards with it. That's apple's current solution.
not really. iPhone and iPod touch have a different system implemented to allow signed code to run on the device, and a special communications protocol that is different from the iPods, which were just smarter hard drives anyway. The iPhone/iTouch run their own OS, and as such have their own transfer protocol.
It's not to be monopolistic, especially considering Apple has even been slightly encouraging of people to jailbreak their devices. They don't want you unlocking iPhones, but that is a different matter unrelated to using iTunes or not. They don't care if you use linux, only that they won't support it
Ethnically, not so much in a religious sense. However, today he'd be considered Palestinian, although he was sent to deliver the gospel to the Children of Israel (not the same as the current Israel of today)
There have been cases where, like in the Challenger disaster, they were not technically considered astronauts since they didn't cross the threshhold into space. So far there's been 489 astronauts under the international standard, and 496 by the US standard of 50 miles.
Go check out Kaminsky's powerpoint of the whole thing. It's actually a very, very serious bug. I warn you, its 107 slides, but a few dozen into it and you'll see the danger he uncovered.
Here's Kaminsky's powerpoint given at the Black Hat conference. (106 slides but thorough) This Wired article and the powerpoint is enough to make me panic. He literally broke the internet; unlock any website and spoof any logs. Now I see why there was so much panic in the article.
Really? Then why did the White House have it manufactured and flown in? If the planners actually ordered the crew to rotate the ship so as to provide the best possible light for the photos of Bush's speech, you don't think they'd overlook a massive detail of a Mission Accomplished banner, one that matches the speech he was making?
Sorry, it just doesn't pass the smell test. It sounds more likely that it was intentional and Bush was celebrating prematurely, as were his supporters.

It's more than that:
I believe Blu-Ray has revokable keys, which can be a problem since the players can connect online for enhanced content

I understand your gripe, but do you not buy DVDs?

It's like the opposite of Hitler. Everyone knows Hitler loved the things that decent people hate

Is this news?
iTunes stores are all over the world. So what if the EULA says you cant buy in the US store if you're in Sweden, use the Swedish iTunes store.
The speaker on the iPhone 3G is center and the off-center mic does not matter, as it is not an issue with either hand

Agreed. More money has been spent by the government advertising this than on all adult education programs in America
Just tell them that the generators are actually mini-daleks

Haptic response?
If that's the case, why do critics HATE the Blackberry storm and rumor has it that Verizon is dealing with a ton of returns?
Just get firemail for iPhone and type your emails in landscape mode
And you must be one of those people who cheered when Pluto was no longer listed as a planet.
I'm asking for consistency here, not a sudden rewriting of the definitions

They deserve to be called astronauts, even if that dilutes the brand.
The definition of astronaut is anyone who travels into space. Space is defined as as certain altitude above the earth. According to Wiki:
There have been cases where, like in the Challenger disaster, they were not technically considered astronauts since they didn't cross the threshhold into space. So far there's been 489 astronauts under the international standard, and 496 by the US standard of 50 miles.

Legend of the Flying Guillotine. A decent movie, I liked how Kill Bill stole the music from it
