It's only worthless when it's recovered. Your bills should not devalue like that unless the bill is done away with altogether. A bill from 1960 is probably removed from circulation once it hits a bank, but you would still be able to use it to purchase things anywhere.
So should I feel justified for my illegal music downloads, as I'm really ripping off a large corporation rather than the artist so much? While I understand the artist is losing money, it just goes to further out the fact that the recording industry is still engaging in practices that worked when they had the market cornered.
The worst culprit is YouTube. As far as I know YouTube is one of the best when it comes to compliance. They are not responsible for content posted by users, nor is it feasible for them to police content. As far as them being the biggest offender I was under the assumption that if I posted a video with Alan Parson Project as the background music I am fully allowed to use it under "Fair Use", as long as I'm not making a profit.
To a certain degree? The only thing easier about maintaining my current network, mixture of FOSS and ADUC/Exchange is that it's easier to create a user account. Instead of 4 systems it's 1 system that gets propagated to the rest. Otherwise it's just as tedious if not more. I'd rather solve a problem by looking at syslog or messages than trying to decipher an event log about App hang 0x0000012C in pick-your.dll.
For the record used to be complete FOSS with NT4 handling Windows auth, we got an update/upgrade. Glad to see the NT box go.
Fuck that I got all excited from the Title. I fully expected that Jobs created a working Reality Distortion Field. Not just him dispelling myths or outright lying. People do that daily, why is it newsworthy?
I'm not an Apple fanboy, but Christ let the man rest.
I agree, keep them, you bought them knowing they are refurb. It means someone didn't do their job properly and wipe their data, both the original owner of the drive and the reseller (it's likely not New Eggs fault). You should wipe them, and let New Egg know there was data on them so they can inform their supplier.
I can attest to this. My child was going in a Title III elementary school. We moved to another district with a higher socioeconomic ratio the school was Title I. Within 2 months she got put into AP classes. Fast forward to today, she's in High School in the Academy program. Had we still let her continue at the Title III school I've no doubt she would be in normal classes and at best an average student. At least 4 times during her time at the Tittle III school she was referred to the AP program of her school but due to funding/teachers leaving she never got accepted. Most of the time the AP teachers were leaving the school. The turn over for AP teachers was 1 per year. All the while this school pushed teaching the kids what they needed to know to keep the score of the school up during SOL's so they could keep their funding next year. As a result my daughter never learned to write in cursive, so we have been teaching her for the last few years.
This is why I'm firmly against basing a school on a standardized test. They will create a curriculum based around it and the tests questions vs teaching the kids anything of actual value.
Someone modded this Funny, they must think you are being ironic. Given the current state of US schools touting SOL scores and pushing the curriculum for, I'd say parent is Insightful.
My thoughts, if someone on the inside thought enough to post it and people for it were so much against it being outed then there must be some bad in it. If you don't want the public to know of a bill being passed then there is something inherently wrong with the bill you are trying to pass.
“The agreement is seeking to address a number of very different issues of which some are serious problems of public health and public safety, for example trade in fake medicine,” Ms. Schaake said. “But that issue doesn’t compare to the alleged cost to society of online piracy
So human life that is damaged from taking a counterfeit drug is worth less than what rights holders lose due to piracy? Or did I just interpret that wrong?
Well since his light saber was stolen, I guess this proves his school a sham. Any Jedi master worth his salt would have felt a disturbance in the force the moment someone touched his light saber.
You won't have to do anything illegal. Say one day you are going about your normal routine, one of these drones is flying overhead and you do something in view of it that is deemed "suspicious behavior". Due to one act that was perceived as suspicious you get your very own drone following your full time. Sooner or later you will do something that compounds your situation.
You are right, the world would be a safer place, and I see no opportunity for abuse of these.
I sorta hope he does win. Imagine he wins, and because he is the patent holder gets sued by the *AA's for copyright infringement. I mean piracy wouldn't exist if he hadn't thought of making the web interactive.
It took them this long to sue? I realize that it may not have been granted immediately, but I recall using the web in the early 90's read before 93 and viewing images and text through a web browser.
10 pounds, really? I can do that with a ball point pen, suchers or liquid glue, and a sharp knife. Granted it wouldn't be the ideal toolkit but in a pinch it beats the alternative.
Seriously though you are spot on. Every member of the crew should have at least adequate training as a field medic.
And would you really want to operate on someone in zero gravity? Even on Mars inside the station/ship whatever how sterile could it be? Not to mention this assumes they will be sending painkillers a bit stronger than aspirin or ibuprofen as well as antibiotics.
If you don't know the specs on your PC then you shouldn't be looking at PC gaming.
Consoles filled the void of those able to look at System Requirements and know if they can run it vs those that buy the game thinking they can run it.
The PC also gives me the flexibility to extend a titles replay-ability. How many times do you play a 10 or more year old Xbox title. I've several titles on PC more than 10 years old I still play regularly due to total conversion mods.
Considering what you currently pay for new release game titles I doubt you would be able to touch an upgrade for that amount, they would rather have you buy another unit.
This is why the upgradable console doesn't exist.
Besides if you paid $100 every 6 months to upgrade your console, why not just take the plunge and game on your PC. $200 a year in upgrades is plenty to keep a mid to lower end pc playing newer titles. Plus if it's the controller you like there are PC software interfaces that allow you to use console controllers. If it's hackers or cheats your fear, well they are on every gaming platform.

+6 Awesome
I seriously lol'd.
We only reward risk taking if it's done by Wallstreet, but we don't call it a risk taking reward. We call it a bailout.
You assume what he created was unique in the first place. It wasn't. Has everyone forgotten Myspace already?

Let's see more artists go indie.
Let the big record labels die.

Yes but what of things a Dr can't see that a patient is doing. Like fidgeting or picking at ones nails. Subtle hints that lead to some insight.

I'll mod any female /.ers Insightful if in their reply they post links to webcam of themselves and their willing female partner performing sexy time.

My PS2 is completely capable of playing pirated titles without the need to mod the unit.
