I wonder if any of the AT&T executives have even tried the fire stick. I watched game of thrones on a fucking playstation the other night.
The only problem putting the nail into the coffin is that there are still rural areas that aren't adequately internet serviced a real paradox for a company like AT&T.
Bullshit. I live in the middle of Louisiana and I can tell you we don't even have digital fucking cable yet. I live 1 mile from a fucking horse racing casino that has fiber internet and 100000 digital cable channels. Best internet I can get is 3.0Mb DSL and the standard cable is worse than old analog rabbit ears.
THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED MY CABLE COMPANY WAS AWARDED A 1 MILLION DOLLAR GRANT TO EXTEND INTERNET SERVICE TO RURAL AREAS. I STILL HAVE NO CABLE INTERNET OR DIGITAL CABLE THAT WAS 2009! THEY"RE ALL FUCKING LIARS!
That's surprising. It wouldn't bother me too much as long as they offer a business grade service. The thing is other ISP's started this already by disabling smtp and other upbound services on consumer grade internet. Both are shitty answers to an issue.
What they need to do is add deniability to the free ones and sell access to the official ones. [This document contains one factual error] Call it anti-sarcasm for me.
My wife beta tests nearly every new mmorpg that comes out. Ive been playing FPSes since wolfenstein 3d covering duke nukem, and every half life & mod there is. Our kids have an atari, a nintendo, a nintendo 64, a sega cd, a playstation a playstation2 and a huge collection of all kinds of other made for the TV games. We don't have cable access. We don't have satellite TV we simply play games.we have 1 tv and 5 computers. The reason we do not own an Xbox or Xbox 360 is simple. It costs way too much, and to play most games on the internet requires a paying even more for a subscription to xbox live!
So if the police need a warrant to search a suspects house, and the suspect has an open wap, all they need to do is commit a crime or perhaps attempt to commit a crime from the wap to get the warrant to search the house?
I don't believe broadcasts are owned. If I create the phrase "fuck all" and claim ownership of it then that ownership is forfeited when I broadcast it. You see to own a thing requires it be one instance of the thing. As soon as an instance of that thing is broadcast it becomes impossible for me to own it. Ownership is directly related to possession. Broadcasting owned content disavows possessorship.Thank Disney for the ambiguities. To broadcast is to give as to own is to what? Viacom doesn't have it Google does. And you know what/they/ say about it!
We must act quickly to ensure the safety of freedom and the American people by eliminating the threat of WMD(Waters of Mass Destruction). Americans will not tolerate such a threat to safety or freedom.
Please flame me for this; Why must something be "released" for "enterprise" use? I mean come on guys if we let the marketers and reporters say what is and isn't "enterprise" ready we will end up with the same damn nightmare that is microsoft windows, except in 2 versions an "enterprise(i.e. professional)" version and the home(i.e. easy target) version. Let the "enterprise" IT guys figure it out. Let them be the ones who cry out "This is enterprise ready", "This is approved for enterprise use", "This is useful and not a pain in the butt when it fails", "our employees should use this its a time saver", etc, etc, ad nausiam. And then when it falls short of "enterprise" expectations let them take the heat for making the decision. Unlike "Big Sales Enterprise Inc" they will not be able push, pry, and coerce on a scale that creates so much "brand name" pressure on the mentally retarted(i.e. the general public) to keep the very thing that caused `the problems` to stay alive in their own "enterprise". Currently it seems that the decision makers are way over pressured by marketing, eye litter is everywhere. The number of battles that should be fought with those who want to use product x JUST because it is marketed well is overwhelming. Seems clear to me. Lets call it democratic marketing and get Al Gore on the phone.
P.S. Word of mouth anyone? P.S.S Experiance maybe? How do you convince 10 million smart people to become idiots? "Good" Marketing.
This may be being done, but its insurance for the store not a federal requirement for record keeping of customer transactions. Simply a choice.
The store can refuse to serve anyone for any reason however when the federal government says they can only serve certain customers under certain conditions there becomes burden to comply with someone else's(i.e. US society in theory) choice and not thier own.
I can refuse to show ID and the store can refuse the sale. But I could be under age and show a fake id and the store might be tricked into the transaction. Same applies to websites. T
Law enforcement agencys have long been operating undercover at catching stores who sell to minors what makes anyone think that they wouldn't do the same to websites once they have regulated who can use which services? So:
1) I(an undercover agent) team up with a kid 2) Have kid sign up at a website and lie about his age 3) I fine the site for allowing it to happen(profit!!!)
Its not the governments job to set a websites requirements. If you run into a transvestite on a date its your fault for believing them not the govenrments fault for not having some way to reassure you that there isn't a dick down there.
I agree. And think that a large part of the problem is that the govenrment tends to think like an overbearing parent. Its a parents job to protect their children not the governments. The government should not legislate irresponsiblity or protect us from ourselves. If social networking sites attract preditors then GREAT! Now they have the fucking bait and the trap set, round up the sickos. As a parent I will decide if and where my child can get online and lie about their age. If they decide to do it without my authority then guess what, they made a bad choice which can lead to horrible concequences. I'm not saying that I would happily accept it, but thus is life. Raise you children properly and maybe the world will be a smarter place.
Imposing burdens on the owners of a social network website because their users might be predators, liers, or unmonitored children is as retarted as requireing the shop-rite to keep records of everyone who shows an ID to buy alcohol or tobacco. What about bar rooms? Should they keep records too? After all underage kids might lie and there could be an intoxicated rapist just waiting to spot a hawt teen slut exposing her self in "public".
If it weren't for some of the complexities of FOSS, I wouldn't know half of what I do know about Linux. Being a ppc-linux user for the last 3 years has forced me to overcome many FOSS complexities in order to be a user of the software on a platform that its authors didn't intend. If it hadn't been free I wouldn't be(using it).
There's much more to life and human relationships than sexual expression. Don't get me wrong - I love that aspect of my life, and would not want to become celibate again - but are you really advocating that we provide kids with access to porn as a part of their developmental processes?
The appeal to the violence argument is ridiculous, too. Don't *add* porn, *remove* the violence!
I agree, they should locate it on their own. No help needed here.
If that means that your kids (and you) end up watching less (or no) TV, and skip almost every movie, can you argue that you have been harmed in some way?
Maybe with an arguement claiming that the governing of society theses days is managed by television. And without fully understanding any given situation you could fall victim to some social standard that you do not adhear to.
What about investing that time in relating to each other, playing board games, having conversations, investing in hobbies where you build or create things, or enjoy things created or performed by others?
Don't you mean religion?
Porn is a trap - it feeds the pleasure centers of the brain, devalues the humanity of the person being used for that pleasure, and damages people's ability to relate to one another in a healthy way.
Rubbish. Porn is a stimulant that has replaced what would be otherwise natural if religion had not convinced the majority of societies that nudity is a bad thing. No wonder there are so many sexually frusterated people.
Real relationships are not self-focused, but must have a significant component of other-focus or they don't survive.
I agree. And alot of couples enjoy pornography together.
Are you really advocating that we train our kids that it's all about *them*!?!?
I think we should train our kids to know good from bad. Nudity, Sex, and self loving are not bad. All are normal healthy and without religion would not be taboos.
I am farsighted with astigmatism in both eyes and even with glasses on I cannot read paper for very long. After about 2 pages I must look away for a few minutes and then I am only able to continue for a paragraph or two. However I am able to stare at CRTs or LCDs for very long periods. I cannot recall ever getting a headache from any PC screen.

Because ads are annoying. TV ads, even when they are funny interupt the reason I am watching TV. Internet ads aren't funny, are more annoying, and typicaly try to know me without caring. I don't do mag's, they are only ads, and well I get more content from the net.

Right, I thought NK had a surprise party planned. Did Kim get drunk and forget again?
I too might gleefully shotgun someone trespassing...I considered shooting the tch right off of your face.

I think it is safe to say that God's word does change.

If it is living then it too must evolve.

When is the funeral? Ill go if its close.
