As nerds, and political activists, how can we promote competition in the wireless market on a metric more similar to "how fast does nytimes.com load" than "what is the maximum theoretical limit using the network?
AT&T recently invested $65 to upgrade towers in the SF bay area. This upgrade was to the lower 3G speed. They have plans to upgrade to the higher 3G speed again in "2010".
I would love to get access to that data. It could easily tell me which companies are working overtime and at what capacity. I could then correlate this to all public companies and trade based on that.

It's only illegal if Sony, or Apple, or *AA says it's illegal.
Read the first link. There's about 1000 people basically arguing that "if any one Fedora-signed package is compromised, then all default-install systems can be compromised by unprivileged users."
Then read comments by Richard Hughes.
It's like having an argument with someone who believes in god.
I may have run into this exact situation in US government websites. Also, I have found many other serious bugs in financial websites. I document some on my blog, but I am seeking advice on how to handle, and monetize my future findings.
The last time I found a large bug at a large online trading account (with a pink logo), I gave up the bug, and signed an NDA. They barely fixed the problem and they didn't listen to my other advice. When the FBI got involved... well, let's just say it is interesting what they focus their efforts on.
I'm am sure I will find these bugs in the future. How do I turn security disclosures into advice that will be heeded and consulting fees?
>> Yeah I had that same thought. The Chinese have as much standing to complain about IP violations as the United States has to lecture on fiscal responsibility.... or freedom of speech...
these graphics cards, in addition to today's or the future's implementation of Grand Central Dispatch, are really going to be powerful for processing arbitrary data.
aside from all the obvious arguments about how all the high taxes are the reason the US/its states can fund all its defense operations, create social programs that make everyone dependents, and create an inventive for corporate control over a political process instead of the liberty that we founded this country on...
aside from all that, the money I am saving in addition to the convenience really makes the decision for me and now i don't need to drive a car for shopping. that's green.
>> Who the hell cares what Amazon claims? If you think it should be taxed, write your representatives and demand they do something about the bill that's been renewed through 2014.
Please read your link:
"Contrary to popular belief, it does not exempt sales made on the internet as they will be taxed at the same rate as non-Internet sales just like mail order sales. The Act did not repeal any state sales or use tax."
>> I'm too frugal myself to deal with luxuries in the +$200k range, and I cringe at Rolex watches, but you shouldn't be surprised if a few slashdotters do have quite a bit of disposable income.
Yes, many slashdotters even wear underwear. Let's post articles about underwear, that should be relevant.
so... if we could just find some un-greedy (thus by your definition, necessarily not-human) to make and enforce all the rules... then we would all be fine, right?
Slashdot Mirror
in other news, so does google:
http://google.cn/mp3
only accessible from certain countries' IPs
well, that's easy... just attach 30 bathroom mirrors IN SERIES. that would reduce it it 1% of the original.
I am using Safari 4.0.4 / Mac 10.5.8:
Acid 1 - pass
Acid 2 - fail
Acid 3 - 100%

I think this illustrates the degree to which AT&T is supporting its new "faster than Verizon" 3G network.
I would love to get access to that data. It could easily tell me which companies are working overtime and at what capacity. I could then correlate this to all public companies and trade based on that.
So... I hope that secure that info.

... and what would the restrictions be for "derivative works"?
>> Clearly, we need a map stimulus spending.
I personally believe that, U.S. Americans are unable to do so, because some people out there in our nation that don’t have maps.
>> R&D spending is important, but it should be in it's own bill covering scientific advancement
R&D spending IS important, and it should be done by companies and non profits that are motivated to create things you need, not politicians.
/me gives a hand. Stop rolling and stand up.
If it were convenient and profitable for users to sue providers for provable instances of data breach, do you think they would act differently?
You can easily find the provider for a given number. Here is an example that works in the US.

That website also allows you to charge arbitrary amounts of money to arbitrary phone numbers using SMS spam signup.

Mac support.
I'm waiting.
In his posts in May 2008, Cuban sides with Murdoch against Google during their recent paid content discussions.
>> Lastly since Psystar modified OS X to run on X86 computers, it is guilty of creating a derivative work without Apple's permission.
I modified OS X to run OpenOffice.org (by installing OpenOffice.org). Is that illegal?
Watching TV on the Internet?
Good, then people will finally be up in arms about net neutrality.
