Most people can't be bothered to look at what their computer is doing before clicking an UAC window, you really expect them to properly opt-out of SSID passkey sharing properly?
So, change it. No one has once said that the Second Amendment shouldn't be changed if there's enough support.
The problem is, both you and I know that banning guns is a minority position in this country, which is why the other side always tries to make an end-run around the Constitution - for shame.
I'd love to see a conservative state like Texas pass a law that says you have to apply for a $200 tax stamp before you're allowed to have an abortion... Oh,the humanity!
Put a better background check on the table and I'll vote for it. What was proposed was effectively a transfer tax. The last time we agreed to that (NFA) you all rigged a vote in Congress and closed the registry, effectively banning a whole class of gun (FOPA).
Selling "things" for money is not transferring money. Selling stored value cards, like gift cards (which I think is the closest physical analogy), is transferring money and monitored by FinCEN.
Hamas is a designated terror organization by OFAC. US companies are prohibited by law from doing business with individuals or organizations on the SDN list. I believe Twitters user agreement defines the relationship as a business one due to advertising income.
TL; DR: I think Twitter is breaking the law by allowing Hamas to have an overt account.
Seriously though, you can't say that there isn't a certain value involved in being able to bring your system into any store for replacement with a new system vs. mailing it off and waiting for a refurbished one to be sent back to you. Granted, it's not as good a value as certain other systems that carry 90 day warranties, but still...
I was in this very situation last month. I had a launch 360 that Microsoft extended the warranty to 1 year on due to excessive defects. I didn't have the EB warranty. I was out of Xbox Live (and thus Chromehounds) for over two weeks. I would've given anything to had paid that $29.99 by the end of the second week.
I'm not going to sit here and say that a TMDS chip can be embedded in the cable, because I don't know what the requirements of it are, as far as timing and signal goes. Is there anyone here or on Xbox-Scene who is qualified to answer that? Is it possible to have an outboard TMDS?
It's a very dangerous proposition to say what a console "can't" do - look at the NES as a shining example of what engineers can do given a fixed hardware platform. The mappers extended the NES's abilities several times over what it was capable of at launch.
Bottom line is that the 360's AV port has a lot of pins in it, and we don't know what all they connect to. The fact it can do VGA and set different VGA modes means it's got more pins than HDMI requires. Whether it can generate the proper signal is anyone's guess...
Oh yeah, BTW, later Xbox 1s had chips that embedded several different ICs, like the NForce northbridge + flash... Who's to say that the TMDS isn't embedded in another microchip?
Frankly, you don't know that. Sony has been bundling and requiring higher firmware versions for PSPs on newer games and movies.
There are any number of identification fields on the disc that could be used for a 'force downsampling' command - date, title number, even a media code.
I don't really understand the hoopla. Microsoft has developed a push e-mail system for their PPC phone handhelds.
I know USAF is Exchange on the backend, I believe all of DoD is. All they have to do is switch out Blackberries for PPCs and they're done. Plus, they'll save a bundle on SMS messages.
This won't last. Fed and State of Cali won't like a busniess operating outside its jurisdiction and will make their lives a living hell...
Buying stuff on the ship? Customs time. Don't forget, the DEA will have to check your luggage as well.
Want to go home? Sure thing, we'll just need to make sure your passport is in order. What, you didn't bring a passport? You did know you were leaving the country, right?

You don't need anything from Apple. The Magnum-Moss warranty act says that for Apple to void the warranty on the basis of non-approved parts, Apple has to prove that the parts used directly contributed to the failure.
Magnum-Moss was designed for cars, but as I understand it, it is not limited to cars.
But on the flip side, if that business had a site license with an exclusitivity clause for Microsoft Office, they wouldn't be using OO.org, would they?
Makes sense; Word is a business program. These days it's marketed to home users since MS abandoned the word processor in Works, but that doesn't change Word's origins.
I recognize that they give Carter too many responsibilities (being uber-brilliant and super-soldier). My wife commented that they got rid of the Dr. Janet Frasier (played by Teryl Rothery) to make sure the show wasn't too heavy with women in top positions, that would be threatening.
I doubt my wife is correct, but she makes a good point. Are they going to replace and add characters to regain the male / female balance on this show?
I think that was a nod to realism, given that Rothery wanted to leave. A General can get promoted out of a Top Secret-level command. What are the odds a doctor would?
The only thing the draft ensures is that politically unconnected people are forced to fight and die for causes supported for the politically connected, while their kids get cushy jobs in the Air National Guard, where no one cares if they show up or not.
Just keep in mind that's a bi-partisan street.
Wartime photographer is about as cushy as you can get.
Is he saying that the Xbox is using a video and audio language that is owned by nVidia? If that is true, it would be not very farsighted on Microsoft's part.
Microsoft is many thing, but not usually shortsighted. I do not believe that they would allow the Xbox to run an abstraction layer that they did not create and own in full. Especially since they have this neat thing called DirectX.

Verizon is bound by certain open access rules because of the 700MHz spectrum it bought. Apples and oranges.
AT&T has more latitude in managing its spectrum than Verizon does.
Incorrect. The sub discussion was whether the 2nd was intended to apply to militias specifically.
The Federalist papers are very relevant to that conversation as they are the thoughts of one of the founders.
So, change it. No one has once said that the Second Amendment shouldn't be changed if there's enough support.

No thanks.
You have the right to move to a gun-free country. Please do so ASAP.

I wish that would happen; I'm tired of the shows I watch getting cancelled, like Journeyman, 4400, and Jericho.
I believe that if Dr. Who was produced here in the USA it would be done too. Lucky for me the Brits love the good Doctor.

Yes, but that standard only exists in countries that don't compel you to give up your encryption key in the first place.
You're talking US, UK, Canada. Parent is talking Syria, Lebanon, Iran.

LCDs are on a 16:10 ratio instead of 16:9 so that they're able to create 16:9 content.

You didn't include an OS or any application software in your PC build. The iMac includes both.

Your 333 CPUs must be of different stepping. The older CPU needs to be in the first slot.
