Your Already looking for a Dumb TV that doesn't have any capability of network access... Just simply don't give it any.. Problem solved and you get the low price point... and if you feeling your paying for something you don't use you will see you getting a discount in the long run... Its the product of the economics of scale...
Your looking for a item that would be for a very niche market and the price will be influenced by that... Just treat it like a dumb TV and it will be...
Kind of like a Car... If you live in central america and have no needed for a heater in your car are you going to be able to find a car without a heater that meets your other needs? Probably not... or if you do will you be getting the best value for your money? very unlikely
Seriously... Fine them and put the company into receivership... to collect... Corps need to learn they are not above the law. Bankrupt a few large companies and they should be less brazen about not giving a crap about anything but how to make money regardless of what they are allowed to do.
"Later this week Microsoft will provide more details of Windows 10, most likely focusing on how the new operating system will look and feel on smartphones and tablets."
So basically what they are saying is they are still forcing the Tablet/Smartphone interface on PC's and laptops.
Unless Netflix is furnishing them with access logs.. They have no idea how many people are circumventing the access controls deployed by Netflix... And in the end Netflix doesn't care if people do as long as the courts agree Netflix is taking reasonable measures to restrict content to the licensed region..
Windows is not free.. Its built into the price... Saying Windows comes free with your pc for free is like saying the CPU and memory are also come free with your PC..
I hate when people use the wrong terminology.. Its specific technical knowledge not skills.. Skills are things like reading, writing, typing or chewing gum while walking (which apparently the author cannot as he doesn't seem to understand what a skill is).. Things are getting more and more slack around here for the stories that get posted... Soon I suspect that we will start to see fox news stories poping up on here.
Hackers have been getting dates longer than there have been computers around...
Go look up hot rodders... They were probably the most sought after hackers for a date in their day.. even today they are still sought after by alot of women..
Your totally wrong... They will buy the new spectrum to keep out new competition... Possibly using it in the future... Look at the articles on Cramming (2 Billion a year for bogus fees) Its not a problem for the big carriers to buy spectrum in the billions and not use it just to keep competitors out of their back yard..There are only a few densely populated areas where licensed spectrum is utilized and its hard to find unused spectrum... Usually if you find unused spectrum and approach the owner they will not lease it to you and if they do the fees to do so are made to prevent you from making money... They will almost never sell it...
For new spectrum going forward they should only allow bidding on smaller regions and bidders would need to have a development plan that will put the spectrum into use within a time frame of say 1 year... if their deployment is derailed and a significant portion of their plan isn't in active use then they should lose ownership of that spectrum and it goes back on the block for auction...
That will force utilization of spectrum and spur competition..
Sorry to rain on your parade... But ping latency has little to do with voice quality(unless you are using a horrid codec that has super crappy buffers...).. most of the quality comes from jitter.. (Packet to packet delay) as long as you have a fairly steady stream of packets moving (IE your buffers don't run empty then get a wack load of packets then go empty for a while again) You quality should be fine... if there is a large amount of latency you will start to get an echo if poor/cheap handsets are used... but with a proper/robust echo cancellation this can be overcome... But once you start hitting 800+ ms of latency the talking delays do get annoying but the quality is still there.. Please stop using latency as a measurement of VOIP quality... what your really looking at is jitter... on FDD networks with high latency thats usually a sign of high congestion and you will get alot of packet clumping which is the real reason why quality starts to go to crap(The codec can't handle that amount of clumping hence the inconsistent quality of the VOIP call)...
Its soo rare that there is actually someone that you want to vote for on a ballot.. Most of the time your trying to figure out who will do less evil..
They should just change how voting is done... you might as well go in and vote against someone.. It would make figuring out who your gonna mark on the ballot alot easier..
That or add in a No Viable Candidate(Aka they all suck)..
If the application contains the Words "A System" send it back and tell them to elaborate in higher detail.
There are two major issues with patents.. They are far too broad and are used to stave off competition... and they allow patents of the baltently obvious.. (One Click Purchase)
Then to top it all off... there is nothing but sheer reward for waiting until infringement is mainstream and you can reap huge bucks from settlements..
Well.. Like so many people these days... rather than do a wee bit of research you resort to the internet without looking into it yourself... Some situations are a bit different but this one is just too simple. Ask him and observe how he utilizes the second monitor.. Is he using it to be effective? can you justify the cost for the man hours that it will save.. (Which is highly likely the ROI will be rather low unless you are really under paying him at which point you should fire all of your developers and get better ones that work for a good wage and do good work rather than crappy work for crappy pay)
So the more interesting thing here is.. Is it comcast thats blocking it or something else... IANAL but I am pretty sure as long as they do not censor sites they are not liable but the second they start they are liable for everything... This could be a very dangerous situation if it is not backed up by law.
You are sadly mistaken.... FULL cooperation with the BSA would only end up lining the pockets of Exec's in massive companies... It wouldn't create any new jobs... Just more revenue from the same amount of work done.. If anything we would see less innovation as there would be even less incentive for companies to produce stable feature rich software to win your hard earned money... Would is likely is that even more money would be dumped into software patents to prevent competition and they would start to work on shortening Product life so that they would have everyone buying ever single new release they put out..
A Group like the EFF(not the EFF itself) should be posting reports that show that Overpriced Software and Software Patents are destroying the economy and use actual real credible numbers rather than the fictional numbers the the BSA comes out with.
Its for the good... They know honeycomb is not acceptable to run on phones and the second they release it to the public people will start to port drivers needed for their phones to it and run it anyways.. After that people will start to download these custom roms and put them on phones and have a poor user experience and possibly get turned off android..
Its probably a good idea overall... The only thing they could have done diffrently is hold off on honeycomb period untill ice cream sandwich was completed and rolled it into a single release... But with the fast pace of tablets they couldn't do that..
iOS Serisouly??! You think Apple wants(will let) you to look at or listen to content that they are not getting 30% of??!?! No way will google be able to build an app for iOS that apple will approve of since all your going to be doing is looking/listening to content that you should have gotten from iTunes anyways..

Nice April fools post... Secure credit card transactions... That's as likely as a honest politician
Pay close attention to the safety demonstration... It does the trick for me... I usually fall asleep during the seat belt part..

And the plane crashed... This is why they tell you to swtich off your phone..
But really.. They could have been using cell phone triangulation to find this without GPS for years.. I dunno why people don't think of this stuff.
Google should just buy em and rename the company G-Mobile and expose the real cost is to customers that's not gouging..

Nothing that a Linux install CD wont fix...
It would be easy to fix it...

It would be funnier if they Open-Sourced Oracle DB Kept Oracles Patent Portfolio and put all the different parts of Oracle up on EBay or Craislist.
