T-Mobile should be told they'll lose their radio spectrum if they stop providing universal service (i.e. you can call anyone, and receive calls from anyone, regardless of the technology involved), since that's what the "publicly owned airwaves" were sold to them for.
And then take it away from them if the don't immediately drop all blocking! Nothing less will do.
My thought is: How long can Intel and AMD remain interchangeable? For that matter, how interchangeable will Intel be in the same socket, if processors are going to vary this widely? In is this a good thing?
Oh My God. China is going to catch us in broadband penetration, and the world as we know it will come to an end. First it was the Russians racing us to the Moon. Now it's China racing bits to our houses. Declare a national emergency. Mobilize the Army. This Cannot Be Allowed To Happen!
The problem is that when I got my Vista upgrade discs through Dell for systems bought just before Vista was released, I don't have pretty hologram discs like that at all. I have just plain printed Dell labeled junk that anybody could counterfeit.
I have one of the great little devices available plugs my MP3 player into a small FM transmitter, allowing me to wirelessly listen to my music over my car radio. Here I don't just have files sitting on a mass storage device, I'm actively broadcasting music copyrighted by record companies affiliated with the RIAA. And someone manufactured and sold me this device with this precise use in mind. Other people also have radio receivers, and this broadcast is unencrypted.
Am I breaking the law?
Are the people who made and sold this device breaking the law?
If yes to the above, why haven't they been sued out of existence yet?
(Note: this is an illustration to prove the ridiculous positions that the RIAA has attempted to stretch existing laws.)
If you must have a paper trail, you still need a way to protect voter privacy. After all, if you just have an adding machine type strip of paper, then knowing the order the voters went into the booth tells you exactly how they voted. That's not good!
What if I personally declare and mark all "Goodmail" as spam? Will someone else decide I didn't actually mean it? Or don't have the right any more to mean it?
While I applaud having bulk e-mail senders pay a penny or so each to have to send e-mail, it's not like I'm going to see that penny for reading their junk, or get an AdSense payment for clicking on their link.
Wouldn't surprise me to see the ACLU complaining that this hurts the poor, promotes child pornography, or damages Free Speech. How long before there are subsidies for those who can't afford to send e-mail otherwise?
The only advantage of making e-mail more expensive for the average user is that we'll see less of it. 10 billion Viagra spam messages sent for free through hijacked users, bot nets, and China, wouldn't be worth sending if the return per e-mail on average was less than the cost of sending them. And I wouldn't miss them for a moment!
This is such a reach. Heck, under this interpretation, anyone shouting out loud at any public demonstration could not be videotaped by news crews without his permission. We know TV news crews aren't being busted for this. Where is the ACLU? They should eat this case up for lunch. Allow this to stand, and you cover up police misdeeds since they'll have the only record of the encounter as evidence. A total fucking crock!
The officer probably didn't know of the wiretap law either, and the DA was fortunate to find it, or they'd be even worse off than they are now. Arrested for no reason at all. They clearly wanted to harass and scare the kid, which the obviously succeeded at. Now the city should fork over $100K compensation, along with a sincere apology in the process.
If it ever goes to trial, and I was on the jury, it would be Jury Nullification all the way, baby!
Yes, do everything at once. Keep the copper first rate, and roll-out FiOS as quickly possible. You can do this all, because we Regulators have told you to do so. Nothing is impossible for us to order of you.
Excuse me but, what's to decide? They did it. They shouldn't have done it. They promised to never do it again. It's more a poke in the eye of justice and fair play than Paris Hilton getting sprung after only three days. It's a no-brainer!
My project consists of sending messages back in time. Although this is proving very expensive to accomplish at this moment, I'll pay you off as soon as I send back the first winning set of Powerball numbers from the future. Please send money to me now. Because of past banking "misunderstandings", cheques are best made out to Cash. Thank you!
The RIAA doesn't seem to feel their plate is already full. Now they're going after Hip-Hop mix tapes as well. I don't know what it's going to take to stop them, but I hope they hit it soon.
How asinine. He could have been doing it in front of his television set, seeing the same game, and there would have been nothing they could have done about it. He wasn't rebroadcasting their account of the game. It was his account. Next thing you know, cell phones will be banned -- especially those with cameras!
Time Warner today implemented a network management tool to improve the operation of the network for all subscribers. As a result, a small minority of users may experience slower speeds during peak hours when using certain applications that consume lots of bandwidth.
What outright B.S. It certainly doesn't help all subscribers from the start. It doesn't help at all the ones who actually use the network they were promised.
The Road Runner service may not be used to engage in any conduct that
interferes with Road Runner's ability to provide service to others,
including the use of excessive bandwidth.
That could apply to anybody who uses the network at all!
These people should be sued for consumer fraud, and into Specific Performance. If you give me 6MBs, and charge me for 6MBs, I'd damn well better be able to get 6MBs most of the time on any application I choose to run!

It's not a perfect sphere. If you zoom in really really close, it's got the jaggies.

And it's a good thing it isn't, lest people go back to the old fashioned method of stealing physical property out of the stores themselves.
Sure, I'll unplug it and send it to you right away, your Honor!

This just goes to make the iPhone just like every other mobile out there. The manufacturer's putth in great features, and the telcos taketh them away.
How long before iPhone unlocking code shows up, I wonder.
Reach out and strong arm someone.
Hey, if Audible Magic and fingerprint and identify a copyrighted song regardless of compression or transcoding, why not this?

Now there's a knowledgable, unbiased, accurate source. Are contract talks coming up soon?

And because our system is beatable, when you do beat it, we beat you!
Especially when significant money is involved?
Are you competent to even run this company?
