We purchased a Pioneer TV that has a built-in CableCard slot. Unbeknownst to my dad, it's only CC1 compliant (as are all cablecard readers right now because CC2 isn't out yet), but doesn't have any means of communicating back to the cable card company. So, rather than dish out the extra money for a digital tuner (they are cheap and complain enough as it is for paying for standard cable, imaging hearing them complain about the digital starter packages would be too much for me to bear), they just watch the local programs that are in 720p and watch everything else in either 480i (regular cable and TiVo [series 2]) or 480p (dvd's).
Your rant on religion is targeting the people that hold extreme views. Religion itself isn't bad, and often times is very good. The problem lies with the concept of "a bad apple runs the whole bunch." I know many religious people of varying religions that all get along. The problem isn't religion, but intolerance.
And with my reference to scientology, let me say one thing...
The only thing about the gap, though, is realizing how many missles is enough. Isn't it something like more than 8 nukes being detonated in our atmosphere in a short period of time (Let's say, oh, 24 hours) is enough to have dramatic effects on the environment? How did the weather change after dropping the two bombs on Japan? And those bombs weren't anywhere near as powerful as what we had in the 70's and 80's, let alone now....
So what I'm trying to say is, if Russia had 50 nukes and the US had 1,000, what's the incentive for Russia to catch up if they can destroy the US with what they've already got?
Dell's selling Linux boxes now, because most of the grey-box builders offer cheap computers with Ubuntu installed, and they don't want to be left behind. But you can bet your bottom dollar they'll be shitting bricks at the thought of having to compete without that MS built buffer.
Funny, I always thought that by offering Ubuntu in addition to the unadvertised Redhat, that Dell would be trying to hold onto its current corporate customers and attract new corporate customers that are currently using Windows and will continue to use Windows for a little while, just in case this 'Linux thing' 'ever takes off*'.
*We can debate whether or not Linux has already taken off, but from the corporate perspective, it's still a backend thing because most of their mission-critical desktop applications are neither ported over yet or have comparable products that they can transfer their data to.
This guy clearly has no imagination! Honestly, how are we going to be able to colonize the galaxy if we have guys like him who only think inside the box? What we need is someone with a vision! Like L. Ron Hubbard!
Honestly, where the hell are they? Did they not realise that they grew up just fine? Or maybe they didn't, and that's why they're as wacked out as to think that the government should become their children's parents, or possibly even their own parents?
I'm all for a cable system where I can pick and choose my own channels. Then I could get just ESPN, ESPN2, Comedy Central, and HBO. But no, instead I'm forced to pay for WE, Lifetime, Lifetime Movies, Oxygen, and a bunch of other crap that I'll never use. This is why I will not pay for TV any more. I remember reading on a PBS page about some guy in Canada becoming his own cable company for his neighborhood. He only had to pay something like $0.50 per channel per subscriber, so if he had 2 subscribers, one of them ordered Disney and ESPN while the other ordered only ESPN, he would only have to pay $1.50. It sounded really cool, but I'm sure that due to differences in licensing laws and the like that such a thing could never happen in the US.

Due to the previous 6 or 7 years of republican stranglehold over the government and diverting all funds from where the nation needs them to pointless, yet strikingly bloody wars, NASA's had to make some budget cuts. In addition to purses for technological competitions that can solve real-world problems, they've had to downgrade from a DS3 connection to an IDSN line.
That is an interesting story but has nothing to do with this case. Your case revolves around whether or not police are allowed to place a particular wiretap, which is a completely different matter. Bear in mind, when police tap a phone, neither party to the conversation is aware of the recording. A warrant is required for this, and the government must meet a certain burden of proof to get such a warrant.
The present case involves civilian wiretapping, which is probably completely legal in PA if all parties consent to the recording, but illegal if one or more parties is unaware or does not consent.
I guess this is true. After returning back to Katz v. United States, I found this section in the opinion of the Court
We decline to adopt this formulation of the issues. In the first place, the correct solution of Fourth Amendment problems is not necessarily promoted by incantation of the phrase "constitutionally protected area." Secondly, the Fourth Amendment cannot be translated into a general constitutional "right to privacy." That Amendment protects individual privacy against certain kinds of governmental intrusion, but its protections go further, and often have nothing to do with privacy at all. 4 Other provisions of the Constitution protect personal privacy from other forms of governmental invasion. 5 But the protection of a person's general right to privacy - his right to be let alone by other people 6 - is, like the [389 U.S. 347, 351] protection of his property and of his very life, left largely to the law of the individual States
Apparently, PA is just messed up. The article in the original topic's summary did not state which law the DA is relying on, and I'm too lazy and probably incompetent to discover it on my own, but it appears that they need to pass a new law to overcome these vague laws.
I know I'm going to be modded troll here or off-topic, but terms like 'Schools' are extremely vague. For the purposes of this article, which I refuse to read because I am to lax, what type of schools are we looking at here? K-12? Elementary? Secondary? Post-Secondary?
I forget which case it was, I had to do a research project on it about 4 years ago, but it involved wiretapping in public areas. The incident involved wiretapping a payphone booth that was used regularly by the defendent for placing bets on sports events over the phone (both betting on sports and gambling over phone lines were illegal at the time.) The FBI claimed that because the pay phone was in a public area that they were free to tap it because it wasn't considered a private area. The court ruled in favor of the defendent, stating that conversations in this type of pay phone booth, which had a door that closed so nobody outside could hear, was reasonably expected by the publicto be a place where one could hold a conversation in private. The general ruling is that if there is a commonly accepted expectation of privacy, a warrant is required.
The incidence for the case here is that the police were out in public on the streets. Nobody can reasonably believe that a conversation in the street is a private event. Therefore, this case should be closed and in favour of Mr. Kelly.
Update: The case I referenced in the beginning of this post is Katz v. United States. I found an audio recording of the case 4 years ago that was in mp3 format.

...how much of their data retention is because of any pressure from the Bush administration, especially with things like the Patriot Act. It will be interesting to see how Google will act when being pressured by the US to do one thing and by Europe to do the other....
...how about asking for receipts of emails? That's what I do for important documents that I email out any way, just so that I know that the recipient doesn't accidentally delete it and then blame me for not sending it. It also helps confirm that I don't email something out to the wrong person without knowing about it.
Another solution would be to extensions with Thunderbird or whichever email client you use that provides a certificate and requests a confirmation upon receipt automatically. This could be protected from spam by only sending automatic receipts to addresses found in your address book.
A: We need a new database system because the one we're using isn't supported any more B: Should we use *Insert OSS* A: Is it created by Oracle? B: No A: Then that's your answer
...then there's no hope. I'm sure there will be *some* adoption, but I doubt this new 'policy' will have any net effect.
While I agree with you that they simply just dont get it, I can understand multiple buttons.
eg: Power on & power off as separate buttons (which has been debated here before)
Power button & back/cancel button
If they use one of those buttons as a replacement for Enter, then they are freaking idiots and deserve to be fired.
Fox is apolitical. They're simply in it for the money. If being propogandic in favor of the Democrats had more money, I'm sure they'd do that instead of the GOP. Take a look at their shit for TV shows. American Idol? Honestly, how much more rubbish can you get? Even worse: the episodes making fun of the people who didn't get to go on stage for American Idol.
Such as, capture cards/encoders that support CableCard or CableCard2? That's one of two reasons why I havn't put together a media center yet; because I'm afraid that I'll lose analogue and have only digital right after I purchase a TV tuner card that doesn't have CC(2) support yet.
One question I've always had in the back of mind is, couldn't we use solar power for manufacturing solar panels? I know that it requires a tremendous amount of energy, but we have capacitors, don't we?
create an empty file in the player's root directory named.is_audio_player and enjoy with programs like Rhythmbox. This was the piece I couldn't find for a long time when trying to get my Sansa e260 to work nicely. Oh yeah, also make sure it's in UMS mode.
