What about pay tv? transforming from DVD source->radio broadcast (possibly with analogue encoding), for profit? (presumably the license for tv broadcast covers this).
But of course any time you play *anything* you are transforming it from magnetic/optical recording into air pressure waves.... If you do this in public I guess you are already breaking public performance laws, but are you also illegally transforming a copyrighted work?
I think that argument is fallacy, if you are not attempting to modify the way the work is percieved you are not transforming it in terms of copyright. I don't agree that changing format is creating a derivative work, adding a mosaic or a red blur filter to a video is, even if it's still kept in the same format.
We are throwing it out. As long as it ends up in an orbit other than ours it doesn't matter does it? Can't it just stay in a "sun orbit" until it hits something? (or doesn't hit something I guess). It's just got to break out of earth orbit.
Escalation path:Fix it or under the contract that has been negotiated you owe a penalty large enough to make you beg to cisco to fix it for you, and to take your first born son as a trade.
The risk is now all on the professional consultants end, and if they want to call in some favors/friends/pay the "world class" guys to fix it, they can. Of course, the sort of professional consultants that would enter this agreement, presumably are really quite skilled in the area. But really, this is about risk mitigation, you just need to prove to your boss, it wasn't your fault something stuffed up. While ever someone follows "best practice" the beaurocracy won't fire them, but they won't innovate or try to do better than "procedure" either....
Whats the solution when you have to call the support line 5 times to get off hold and talk to someone who can understand what your saying? Or they want to treat you like you don't know what your doing, and that your problem couldn't possibly need escalation because you haven't run through all the suggestions of likely fixes (which you already tried *before* calling), and which you know do not apply to your problem.
Here in Australia, I noted with interest from Jaycar (http://www.jaycar.com.au - an electronics distributor), had a fuel cell model car in their latest catalogue, along with a (small) fuel cell. Generates hydrogen given electricity, produces electricity given hydrogen.
The model car is here:http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=K T2525
Since you find the block by it's checksum, if it was written incorrectly the checksum will tell you so. Since you will never write over it software corruption is basically a non-issue. You would presumably be using this file system on a high redundancy medium, or doing regular back ups of the data that had changed.
Valid cards have a simple check sum on the magnetic stripe. It's an algorithm, you don't need to know every single valid cards number to do *some* validation. It's easy enough to make a card that passes this simple checksum if you have a card writer.
Of course ATM cards have certain formats, compared to say, motoring club cards, but my motoring club card passes the ATM kiosk test (which arguably it shouldn't).
Wine/Cedega do not try to "equal or surpass" windows, because they are not attempting to be an operating system. They translate binaries from win32 to run under linux. They certainly don't try to do it by imitation, because that would imply they took a similar approach. In my view that approach is writing an operating system. ReactOS is an example of an emualator of windows.
I have always found that humans en masse appear to be morons. It seems whenever people act as a group they get worse. Each individual in the group might be logical, and have common sense, but when you put them in a mob suddenly you see nasty patterns emerge. Ask anyone who has worked retail.
There is a finite supply. This means that with any level of demand, supply will eventually become less. Thus the price is pressured upwards. Sure there are going to be some movements outside the trend, but oil almost inevitably must become more expensive in the long term.
It'll probably still go up in price before a long weekend and down again afterwards...
You can import the appropriate keys using PGP. If I recall correctly a google search for the error messages apt is emitting will find you some discussions on this matter, including fixes.
In the same way the extra forces on a sailing ship cancel out any gained energy?
There have been several successful Verticle Axis Wind Turbine powered protypes, you just need a wind much faster than the speed you wish to travel relative to the sea currents.

Yeah, and they're usually telling me my windows registry is corrupt!!! And I need to download (insert name of crapware) to fix it..... Oh noes!!! what will my debian machine do without an intact windows registry!!!
The "audio-only" cds have always been more expensive as far as I know, so everyone burns their music on the "data" cds. I've never tried burning data to an "audio grade" cd (they are more expensive;-) but I imagine that works too. I still don't know if there is any difference between the discs except some "professional" level equipment requires the audio grade ones. But seeing as it's digital, it's going to sound the same in any case.
Sound is pressure waves travelling within matter.
As i understand it light is "electromagnetic" radiation, the same thing that radio transmissions operate on.
To me it seems silly that the law would treat a mix tape destined for a wife/live in girlfriend/live out girlfriend differently. I mean, the intent is the same, and if the law does treat these cases differently it is discriminatory. Still, It's an interesting point, since the law could easily be worded in a way that is intended to be fair, but not end up being interpreted that way.
I have cd suspension sleeves in a "suspension file" box. You can flick through the CDs, see the titles on the top of the sleeve, and stick on labels that stand above the level of the other cds to seperate sections. Plus you can sort/reorder discs by just popping them in where they go, unlike a wallet/spindle where you have to move all the other cds out of the way first.
I agree ticketmaster extra fees are quite unacceptable. They could learn something from google video, where the terms seem to be quite reasonable for both vendor and consumer, and the party facilitating the transaction isn't making an excessive profit.
I guess the only way it will change is if there is a competitor that gains some of the market (impossible with all the ticketmaster exclusive deals I guess), or people just don't buy tickets through ticketmaster (Yeah right)....
Isn't this just the logical conclusion of capatilism and the free market economy? Supply is limited, Demand is large, thus the price should go up?
The only reason scalpers exist is because there is a gap between the price of supply and the price at which there is still demand.
I will start by noting the following is not based on what I believe to be true, instead it is based on what I think is the way things should be.
People shouldn't go to movies for star power (but I admit they mostly do). They should be going because it is well written, or well shot, or the acting is good. Most stars don't tend to produce this. I'm actually really bad at remembering celebrities names/faces. My wife is forever telling me "thats the actor from ". And I have no idea who that person is. I'll remember a movie more so than an actor. And thats how I think it should be. A movie starring unknown actors (who aren't getting paid way more than anyone should ever be worth) is just as likely to be a good movie as one with megastar $$$$$ actors (at least to me it is). I know this is not the way the general populace sees it however, but I couldn't care less if the movie studios saved money on producing a film by paying the actors $200,000 instead of $2 million. Especially if it means the movies are cheaper, and thus I can go see more good films.
I can see how that might work. I am assuming the granparents point was that the cost of welfare is not that expensive, if a country that has no particular enemies or threats spends a comparable amount of money on a particular facet of defense.
Here in Australia, Full Social Security payments are around (AUD) $8000 per year. From a news article(http://www.couriermail.news.com.au/story/0 ,20797,19005086-953,00.html) we bought 22 choppers for $1.9 billion, with the original contract signed in 2001.(The article was about the problems requiring an extra $625 mill to deal with problems in the delivered product, but we will ignore the extra cost).
Now that is enough to support 237,500 recipients of full social security payments. We have a population of 20 million (roughly), so this is ~8% of the population. We have an unemployment rate of around 5%.
Of course I don't know how many choppers we maintain in total, but this purchase covers a large part of our welfare expenses for 1.6 years (all in ballpark figures).
Now I'm not even really convinced Australia can support an army capable of defending a large scale attack. So it's usefulness is debatable, so surely we can spare the money to support some people who would otherwise starve/steal from others/beg/generally make life worse for everybody.
