People are not resisting DRM. According to SONY and the RIAA, DRM is something that people really want, because it will help them enjoy their music experience to the fullest.
You have to understand something, the voices of SONY and the RIAA are the only voices that the government is listening to. So, as far as the government is concerned, DRM is something you and I want.
The ACLU is a pawn of the same government that you're speaking out against. It doesn't matter how much the ACLU "defends" your civil rights. The key thing that the ACLU tries to do to help the government is get rid of the right to keep and bear arms. Once nobody can defend themselves from the oppressive government, it's all over.
Nobody seems to realize that this is the last remaining keystone of our freedoms. Once there is no threat of ultimate consequence, the government and its officials can feel free to enslave the people. The ACLU is right there with them trying to take away yet more rights in the name of "safety" and "security."
If I were a jack-booted thug, and the government ordered me to take over someone's home because they didn't do what the government wanted, and I knew it would be the wrong thing to do, I'd feel pretty reluctant to do it if I knew they could defend themselves.
"One little known gem is that this player comes with java-based software that allows users to download the software directly from the player via any browser and sync the Karma with Linux, Mac OS X, and any other OS that Java runs on"
Consumers (read: me) don't want to install yet more software, especially java software that takes 45 million instructions to print "Hello World!" on the screen.... They want to drag their MP3s into a folder.. SonicBlue never did understand this with the Rios, which is why they skim so close to the surface of the water and risk either going bankrupt or being acquired.
I hated my Rio and I'll never own another one... The software was HORRIBLE, and I can't emphasize that enough. I don't know what they were smoking, but that software utility they had for the 600/800 series really ruined it. It took all the mp3's on your entire system and lumped them into one gigantic list. Talk about a pain in the ass!
It will only be a matter of time before a law is passed requiring libraries and other business to keep personal records for X amount of time, in case they are desired by the spooks...
Ever since Patriot Act I, I've been using only cash and refuse to give my personal information to anyone who requests it. If a store insists, I take my business elsewhere.
I also turned in my library card, figuring if it's that interesting a read, I can just sit at the library and read it.
Grocery cards? Gone...
Car goes to independent shops who don't report to ChoicePoint, or I do the work myself.
Rebates? Fuh-getta-bout-it.
I more or less fell of the face of the earth when it comes to spending money. The government knows I have a job, and that I make my rent, car, and utility payments on time. They have no fscking clue how I spend my money otherwise.
The only thing I did notice about Patriot I that was different was the explosion in popularity of the Black Ford Crown Victoria. I see them behind me all the time!

"The basic purpose of a patent is to provide a description for those who are "skilled in the art" to build a copy of the invention."
The purpose of a patent is to protect an inventor's opportunity to profit from his/her inventions.
"If you want to try getting from the patent to a modern online credit card transaction system, have fun and good luck. "
Nowadays, yes, but in 1994 when the public internet was "new," it's quite conceivable that any number of patents on the most basic e-ideas could have been had.
"Does this mean that everybody involved in e-commerce has a chance to break the patent, or at least the parts of it that "claim" to apply but anything but dialup telephone systems?"
Yes, as long as they can prove they were doing it before the patent application was filed, which was on June 3, 1993.
"It appears that the patent specifically relates to dialup telephone systems."
Yes, yes it does, doesn't it? What they will undoubtedly try to do is convince the court that all the claims that state "a communications routing system of a type that functions generally" is the base claim and that all that crap about telephone switching systems was meant to be a specific subset of the "communications routing system," and that because of that anything that can be considered a "communications routing system of a type that functions generally" is covered in the Patent.
This is obviously not what they intended by the patent, but in the age of Creative Litigation(TM), which is what I call anything having to do with Intellectual Property, leveraging Patents has become a stated part of the bottom line for most companies, especially those who are not doing well. AT&T is certainly not doing well, and hasn't in about 20 years. They were smart to sell off all of their core technology businesses during The Boom(TM) - the cash from Lucent alone is probably enough to sustain AT&T for a long time. But, now that they have no core products anymore other than Telecom, they're hurting.
So, enter their Law Depertment with their GRE type reasoning: "All people are idiots, and all juries are made up of people. Therefore, all juries are also idiots." In my strictly NonLegal opinion, I think this is grasping at straws. But, after seeing SCO claim ownership of Linux, nothing surprises me anymore.
the chain breaks? The gear bearings wear out? You want to change your ratios? You want a light bike?
Granted, this looks like it's just for offroad applications, so I therefore don't care being a road racer... but it seems like this could use a bit more planning with respect to maintenance..
THey have every right to use the entire spectrum if they so desire. If you want to start talking about ethics and sharing, maybe you should stick to licensed spectrum. There are already provisions in the law regarding ISM bands that ensure equitable sharing. They're using 2 adjacent channels - which leaves 9 for others to use. Also, the power limit is the same regardless of bandwidth, so they have half the spectral power density than a single-channel transmitter, which means their range is far less.
Broadcom has a burr up its ass because they didn't think of it first. Boo hoo.
So what!? It's unlicensed spectrum and they can do with it what they wish as long as they don't violate any FCC rules, which Atheros is clearly not.
Part 15 devices must accept any interference, including that which may cause undesired operation.
I'd personally like to see point-to-point 2.4GHz hardware that uses the ENTIRE spectrum for extremely high bandwidth applications... that'd be very cool
Seems to me they're just doing their required posting so they can later say "hey, there were no qualified applicants - now we have to hire an H1-B"
One of the tricks big companies use to underpay H1-B's is to give them an 'entry level' position. The government has tables that list the average salary for a given position, and the job must pay an entry level worker that amount give or take something like 12%.
Companies always pay exacly 12% less than that number.
I wish I could remember where I read that. It was a fairly recent article somewhere, maybe on cnn or even here. Who knows...
Another evil bastard tool is the L-1. If a company is multinational, they can bring a foreign "guest" in on an L-1 Visa, which has no requirements whatsoever. They can be paid the prevailing wage IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY for as long as they're here, and there's no limit whatsoever on how long they can be here.
I have Tons of Positions(TM) open right now... we develop software to perform Radar Cross Section Analysis.
Now, for those of you who clicked before reading on, the only drawback is that I have no money, so there is no pay:) It's all just for fun, but still something you can do to keep your skills up and have something to put on your resume if you're between jobs. There are about half a dozen of us right now.. it isn't such a bad gig:)

Compression ratio in my cars is 10.5 in one and 11.0 in the other, so they both require 91 or better in order to avoid valve damage due to preignition. They both have knock sensors, but the timing can only be retarded so much..

In the Cornell/UVA Link, they consistently brand Fedora with the "TM" symbol, indicating that the "Fedora" name is indeed trademarked.

Does anyone know if Trademarks are subject to the same Prior Art challenges as Patents are?
