Discovery Channel's Mythbusters got clearance to 10,000 feet for their salami rocket test, the thing flew only 20 feet but it still counted as a rocket launch.
With the Republicans now evicted from the House and Senate, is it time to look at the Microsoft Anti-trust Suit?
Fat chance. There may be some Congressional Hearings under the new Democratic-led Congress, but the Justice Department that would handle any anti-trust suit is still under the Republican President. Gotta wait a couple years (or two quick impeachments) for Democrats to get ahold of that.
Source code is 100% open to find exploits and bugs, when you vote you're given a ticket with a number, anyone can go online and see how everyone voted but only you are able to tell which vote was yours by the corresponding ticket number. That'd allow for everyone to do their own count if they wanted.
You're as clueless as Diebold. We don't want a reciept. Employers could require that their employees show their reciept number, and then verify that they voted as the company said so or else...
XM counters with an XM Public Radio channel that grabbed Bob Edwards off of Morning Edition and gave him an hour-long self-titled show. The channel fills the rest of its day with programs syndicated from individual stations that may be NPR members but aren't pushing the show through NPR, possibly using the competing PRI network.
The "educational band" of FM runs from 88.1 to 89.9 MHz... stations in this area must be non-commercial and are power limited as well. (The power limit is what makes the band so attractive to "Part 15" consumer transmitters, there can't be a strong station present nearby on those frequencies because there aren't any anywhere.)
Still, just because there's an area of frequency spaced carved out for educational stations, doesn't mean they're restricted to those frequencies. NPR programming can be aired anywhere on the dial, it's perfectly legal to have a commercial license and then opt not to play commercials.
XM has already admitted defeat in this area. New radios that will be on sale at Christmas will no longer allow wireless FM sending of the signal to a car radio. All XM radios from this point forward will be hard wired to the input of the car stereo.
Really this phone is doing nothing much new, all newly-activated phones in the USA now must have some way of determining the phone location (GPS, tower strengths, whatever) for e911 compliance. This phone is simply giving the user the right to transmit that value to somebody of their own choosing... that's the news.
...mechanism is a non-standard UDF
A non-standard anything on a DVD makes it not a true DVD. We've seen this tried before on CDs and the response was that they'd have to stop using the "Compact Disc" trademark because that's only for people who follow the standard.
The point of the article is that within supposedly identical devices, the individual electrical components are not exactly the same, and it's the minor faults in capacitors that they're picking up and calling a "transciever print".
Losing the contract with Verizon had nothing to do with the recent store closures. They changed over to Cingular, which is just as easy and profitable to sell. They did close a whole bunch of stores because they weren't making money keeping them open in the first place.
Nope. This is just the HR side to AOL's decision to only charge for ISP connections... much fewer paying customers, much fewer people needed to handle the support, sales, and retention operations. AOL figures they'll get more cash from ads being shown to many more eyeballs than they're currently getting for subscription revenues.

We're now analyzing an ad campaign's casting moves... must be a slow Saturday Night in geekland.

It's 1/3 of the Senate that's up every two years, 100% of the house goes up every two years.
Try again after 2009 January 20.
There is a short circuit possible. Impeach Bush and Cheney without approving a new VP selection... result is an unelected President Pelosi.

Diebold actually licensed the clippy AI from Microsoft for that one.
Actually, they'll give the technology behind Clippy to anybody who wants to play with it.
I should correct this post, the education band is 88.1 to 91.9...
NPR is exclusively on Sirius. It's NPR's fault they're not on XM.

Ananova was an automated presentation system, but she/it read from scripts generated by humans.

By your standard, everyone who operated a .com that IPOed and went straight to zero deserves jail time as well.

The service will simply have too many enemies to exist without regulation in the long term. Slingbox isn't a place shifting service, it's a device.

The focus of Icons has changed so dramatically that the original video-game focused episodes that ran under that title have been renammed Game Makers.
