The RIAA insists on a forensic examination of your computer hard drive by their expert, and one case so far has been lost be the defendant due to a LACK OF EVIDENCE on his hard drive. The assumption was that he'd erased incriminating files and was therefore guilty without any actual evidence of illegal music files present.
What information could you maintain on your hard drive that would PREVENT the plaintiffs from legally being allowed to inspect it at all?
Also, if you've encrypted it with a number of commercial products, including those that require the inserting of a unique USB Key Device that you need yourself in order to use your computer system, can you Constitutionally be forced to turn over this information to your own disadvantage? Allegedly they already had sufficient evidence against you to have filed a case in the first place.
Now we know why the PS3 is going to be late. Component shortages, according to Sony. 16,000 working Cell processors for this, and I'll bet it doesn't even play Halo!
Alan Turing, the man who felt a computer intelligence could have a soul if God wished it. And who died Snow White style, via a poisoned apple at far too young an age. RIP.
O'Reilly points out that if igorants in a 3rd-world country like Brazil can wean it off oil and onto ethanol, there is no reason why people in the supposedly most technologically advanced country (i.e., the USA) cannot do the same.
Which does essentially nothing to reduce C02 emissions!
I've been using Microsoft Expression on an ASP.NET site with master pages and custom.NET control and find it usable due to many crashed of the application.
Actually I agreed with the Kelo decision.
I'm as against the growing power of government as anyone. But I believe that it's the growth of federal power which is most destructive. Even if you believe in the doctrine of incorporation, all the federal constitution says is that there must be due process. There was due process in this case. For the federal justices to barge into Connecticut and say "We just don't like what you're doing, stop it or else" would have been a greater tragedy than what did happen.
And would you feel the same if your Constitutional right of Free Speech were left to the states? Or what about Freedom of Religion? The Constitution exists to protect individual rights uniformly across the country, and the right to own property safe from government seizure strictly to benefit another private party is -- or used to be -- one of those rights!
it's the end of MAC spoofing on wireless networks.
That would be nice. Wake me when it happens.
Of course, there goes your defense when the RIAA sues you for filesharing, and your defense is, "It musta been someone hacking into my wireless network."
Front Page was pretty good when MS first acquired it. Easier and cheaper than InterDev, but still needed those pesky FP Extensions. It just failed to keep up afterwards, as if it just wasn't important enough to MS for regular updates. Much like IE6.
Now does Expressions start that same cycle of neglect all over again?
persons who were at the time employed by or later became employed by Apple were present at both trade shows and viewed Contois' software. The suit charged that Apple later 'copied' the invention and used the design ideas in the interface for iTunes."
Yeah, Apple does have that reputation. At least, that what my mole at PARC tells me.
Some people clearly just have too much time on their hands! Writing a serious paper about movie monsters is like thinking some silly reference to the Simpsons or Futurama is really funny.
Who cares about the biology of B-Movie monsters? How about the biology of B-Movie Actresses instead? Brinke Stevens and Julie Strain are my favs, and they span the gamet between small and sexy to big and sexy.
I mean, think about it for a moment. What surface area do you really care about? The monster's hide, or the amount of boobage exposed? Does anybody really watch those movies for the monsters, or for the showers?
So TiVo has a great story to tell, obviously intends for it to be seen since it's on their web-site to start with, then hides it as best they can? If this is TiVo Marketing at work, than it's no surprise to me why they can't gain traction in the marketplace except through lawsuits.
My personal rule is to avoid whenever possible companies who compete via lawsuit, rather than by price and/or quality.
Verizon, huh. Aren't they the nice FIOS people that are trying to give us an option to the rotten Comcast monopoly? Now they're jerks too!
It's really too bad that enough people don't get together, buy their stock, and make them treat their customers -- who are now also their stockholders -- nicely.
next time you're faced with a decision to use either DSL or Cable, buy the one that doesn't give your neighbors the ability to waste all the bandwidth.
You are assuming that the DSL ISPs aren't throttling traffic at the higher level of their network. You are wrong in that assumption. DSL is no panacea to cable oversubscription and traffic-shaping.

Now we know what's really important to Microsoft. It isn't Vista, and it isn't Zero Day Vulnerabilities. Mess with DRM, however, and you're dead.

With a name like that, I would have expected him to be in the p0rn industry instead.
I'd hardly call that free.
I don't know about this. All those ancient Egyptians, Greek and Romans are dead now. Do you know what killed them? I sure don't.
AndrAIa is my favorite AI. Making her 200X better is an amazing throught to speculate on.
Which does essentially nothing to reduce C02 emissions!
If so, then how many more Betas do you think they need?
Past a certain point they'd better start working on Vista 128-Bit Edition.
Al Gore, you go first.
Did you, perhaps, mean unusable?

This just follows that once they've taken your land and your house, they can take your life too.
Expect the ACLU in 5...4...3...2...

Or a PhD dissertation on Star Trek.
Opps, someone just did that.

History doesn't always repeat, at least not in the same lifetime.

I'd love to have 728 MegaBYTES of bandwidth from my ISP.
