If you must blame someone, blame the RIAA. I agree that it's sad that Apple is playing along with the bastards, but if they aren't seen as vigorously defending the "right" of the labels to make egregious profits, they could stand to lose a critical revenue stream.
The original reason why EA wasn't live enabled because EA wanted to turn off xbox live after a new version of the game was released, forcing everyone to upgrade. Microsoft said no, and EA said no live.
I know the article mentions a $2/user/month charge
I love the subscription model, I love not owning anything. My whole life is subscription based, My car is lease $399/month. My house is lease $1000. My gf is $39.40 a month, my dog is $9.99 a month, even my parents are subscription based, $29.90 a month for 1, $39.90 a month for two but divorced or $49.90 a month for two married.
Aside from that, anyone who has a website with a public comment section has the responsibility to remove content which violates the rights of others. In other words if I post hate speech (which is NOT protected "free speech") the owner or administrator of the website has a responsibility to take it down as it serves no possible good and serves to harm innocent parties
Maybe you should go read up on the laws again. Hate speach is protected by the 1st admendment if its not used to intimidate a person. If I wanted to post a website saying I hate all left handed people in the world and they should all die, I have every perfect right to do it. We cannot pick and choose what speach we protected because who is to determine what hate speach is? Next thing you know, any antigovernment speach is hate speach.
The database is flawed in that it doesn't cross-verify addresses/credit cards with previous orders or e-mail addresses.
Doesn't work. 800.com did unique credit card numbers for $1 for 3 movies deal. So all you had to do was to use 1 time use credit cards that most of major credits cards are doing. For Addresses, a directv installer taught me that if you live in a house, just make up a unit number if they verify by unique addresses.
More people died last year from drunk drivers then terrorists attacks. More people died from cancer. More people died in car accidents in the last year then have ever died from terrorists attacks in this country.
I am a liberal, and I can't stand Bush, but I can't possibly fathom your stance, (poster or moderator,) which I feel actively encourages terrorism.
For Someone who can't stand bush, you already bought into his fear mongering and propaganda.
One of the main reasons that many corporate/commercial servers are still running IIS is because of the ease of use in integrating MS SQL and specific data export services from what the desktop is running: Windows.
Umm IIS doesn't intergrate with SQL server or export data. What crack are you smoking, IIS is web server that has ISAPI filters for addons. The Isapi filters are the programs exploited. Last time I checked common MS SQL access is with oledb or ODBC which are standardized.
Umm unless the rape happened on school ground during school hours, it should be left up to the local police department and DA for final punishment. And even if this rape did happen on school ground and during school hours, this type of matter should be left up to the court room decide. I assume forgeting to checkout a computer is just a school violation, therefore its up for the school to decide.
Patents aren't holding back development. You think biotechs and the drug companies would spend billions of dollars into R&D if there wasn't a patent system? How the hell would they make the money back if any company could copy it.
Thats good, lets not make java better than.net but let the courts decide. I love how everyone is against lawsuits and the government mendling in things until its apple,sun or whoever on the suing side.
Search engine is like an automated yellow page book but lot bigger. This would be like pepsi taking an advertisement out on the listing of coke in yellowpages. Its not a trademark violation. When someone asks you were a mcdonalds is, and you say there's burger king down the street, are you committing a trademark violation?
Umm I donate money to EFF, and I don't agree the with your belief that EFF should be protecting open source IP. EFF is not about open source, its about our rights online. They protect our privacy, they protect our right to fair use. If you want to protect open source IP donate your money else where.
AT&T was a great provider with TDMA, when they started switching to GSM, GSM sucked and they started neglecting TDMA maintence. I heard from AT&T reseller the reason why my call kept getting dropped was that regular maintence on TDMA cell site was not being done in order to deploy more GSM sites. This was almost 2 years ago and I don't how long they come since I promptly switched two verizon after most of my calls would drop within 10 minutes, which sucks when AT&T puts you on hold and you get connected and then you call gets dropped a minute later before you can even tell them that their network is dropping your call.
Take a cell picture of crappy movie your watching and spend a year in jail and $2500 fine. I don't have license to distribute a video recording of a baseball or football game, but I'm not going to go to jail for snapping a few pictures off, why should the MPAA get special rights? Same things goes with art galleries, its all copyrighted material and illegal to distribute.
Another thing is that what If I'm reviewing the movie, its not copyright infringement if I record some scences for my review. Its perfectly legal and falls under fair use.
States have no right to tax interstate commerce, buying something out of state is interstate commerce and constitution clearly states that states have no right to levy tariffs or taxes on interstate commerce.
Its show LA metro and average speed, Its not uncommon to see 80 to 85(the max it registers) in most areas during non commute hours. I personally go the speed of traffic, if traffic is going 85, i'm going 85. Its puts me and other traffic at risk if I go 65, the limit, when everyone is going much faster.

Here's a hint, stop buying their product.

Or it could hook into the "Girls who put out on the first date" list so I know who to hit on at the bar.

Just use the same key and don't active it, especially in a test lab where you need to scrap everything every month,
Missing matter is in same place as my socks
MS XML is really proprietry code. Look at that proprietry code. Oh wait it looks like any other xml document.

It is backwords compatible MP3, only difference it has a watermark and some extra for multichannel. So All you have to figure out is how to strip it.

I never actually heard britney sing, I watched her concert on showtime with the tv on mute for obvious reasons.
I sure hope they cut it out and stop trying to hack their way around the gpl.

They are ojbect collections. Not a collection of your specified type, until .net 2.0 comes out with generics. It won't have resizable arrays.
