Auctions are a good way to disperse spectrum.. But There needs to be guidelines put in place.. like "Use it or Lose it" and usage guidelines aswell to prevent companies from just simply occupying spectrum to prevent competitor use. There is just not enough competition to promote a customer service oriented Cell service.
There is something seriously wrong with the contracts your signing if you need to wait untill your contract is up to switch carriers.. If you are paying for a service they cannot provide you should not be bound by the contract.. If they also change the terms (Eg get rid on unlimited data) that should also void the contract you signed and you should be able to switch providers without termination fees. There are laws that are put in place to prevent companies to abuse contacts in manners like this... Or are Carriers exempt in the US from these types of laws?
"We can not tell you because its secret.. but I can tell you this.. You owe someone 1.3 million per infringement and I am unable to tell you what your infringement was or who provided us with the proof and on top of that.. You can't see the proof all due to National Security reasons. Your going to have to take my word for it... Your screwed.. Calling a lawyer is futile."
This will be very interesting to see how this will work out as every Cell Phone Carrier will do what ever they can to Quash this as its attacks their revenue streams.
This should prove to be an interesting battle as google has the funding to fight tooth and nail to ensure the cell carriers don't lock them out.
You say this... but yet you do not complain about a 1TB drive only having 931GB of usable space on it...Where are those other 69gigs? Its advertised at 1TB (in the small print you will find that its for unformatted capacity ect.)
As seen in the past.. They do stupid things.. Remember when Comcast was sending a TCP SYN/RST packets on your behalf to close your P2P uplink connect for you?
But ultimately.. someone will make a traffic shaper to get the most you possibly can out of comcasts new bandwidth management system.
The only way to get them to back out of it.. is disconnect and move to another provider.. or move.. and get everyone you know to do the same.. They are doing this for a single purpose.. to make more money.... they have no other motivation...
How is Adobe Reader not Crapware? 43 MB of security holes waiting to be exploited.. There are other free PDF readers out there that have a fraction of the footprint and don't seem to be affected by the same security issues...Not to mention how slow reader is.. I will get on a friends computer and go to open a PDF of the web to show them something and 3-4 mins after the document is done downloading Its still not displaying the document. I move them over to something quick and simple like Foxit reader... and Bang I am browsing the document a moment after its done downloading.
The failed to mention Age group or any details about the test audience..
Was this test conducted at a school for the deaf?
Was it conducted in a home for elderly people?
How many suffer from mid-range hearing loss?
The results are worthless as they did not test the hearing of the individuals to see if they all fit within some type of range to qualify their ability to hear. the limited scope of the testing invalidates it even further.
Well if thats the case.. is it a good thing that someone has recognized error of their ways and did absolutely nothing about it? After all.. how many complete rewrites have the done on their software and how many other changes have the done that completely broke backwards compatibility for some things?
Not to mention especially in todays era when virtualization is cropping up everywhere... If you really require the old OS.. run it in a VM.. problem solved.
But thats the thing.. they are trying to get software developers accountable for bad software..
But its likely as with most attempts to make big business accountable.. This is nothing more than a PR campaign to give voters a warm fuzzy that the government is actually doing something for the people that voted for them.. The laws will be riddled with loopholes and ways for vendors to get out of being liable(Despite the fact it would be very hard to come up with something that would get "commercial" vendors to be more responsible with software releases.)
In the long run... its total waste of time with the excepting of giving the false impression that government cares about teh common person and not the big businesses that fund their campings to put the in power and line their pockets in some way.
Well it just depends on how big of a corp and how strong of lobby group he can buy before the bank is empty...
After all.. Would it be beyond big business to get laws passed to extend the life of a bad business model?
Next thing we could start seeing the end result seeing "We have the rights to this story and you have to pay us to read it on our news site" start to pop up..
For ever is a TAD long... but for Music sake... what the life expectancy of a Compact Disc that is properly looked after?? 100 years? They should support the DRM for that long..
I heard it came down to a coin toss between Pong and Asteroids... There is too much going on in asteroids... I think they could have gone with Pong as the story line is much easier to focus on. With Asteroids you never know which angle the most danger is coming from.
There are alot of apache attacks out there... it is the dominant webserver... but if your out to pick some fruit.. IIS still has plenty of fruit thats so close to the ground that you don't even have to reach to get at it.. where in apache.. you need a ladder to reach any of the fruit left there.. Plus IIS is a sure sign of an admin that is under the impression MS can make secure software its kinda like a kick me sign...
Repeat Issues.. Ineffective IT will see an issue that reoccurs and never fixes the source of the issue instead supports and extends the issue rather than fixing it.. and if you think there are issues that cannot be resolved.. then your not using the right tool or educating people correctly..
Resolutions that worked. If someone comes to you with an issue and you get them to "try" 22 "things" and the problem still persists.. You have either not asked the correct information.. Received the correct information.. or you do not understand the issue and are trying the pin the tail on the donkey approach of support which makes more issues than it solves.
PEBKAC Factor User training issues need to be identified. Admin wants to see IT be more efficient.. educate users so IT staff does explain to someone how to use the tools they need to know how to use to do their job properly.. Mechanic's that would call to ask which way tightens and which way loosens should never pick up a wrench to work on a car.. why do we let people that don't don't understand there is a right click and a left click work on computers..
If you see a theme.. its because there is.. reduced call volumes.. That is effective IT and it needs to be looked at differently than most anything else because its a dynamic environment. Increased Call volumes come from change and decreased call volumes come from people working effectively..
So what your saying is you consider pretty much every app out there as being "Linux Native" as you are pretty hard pressed to find a OS that doesn't run in a VM..
They should just use simple RoT13 or something else thats lame make it part of the protocol and copywrite it. then slap anyone that comes up with this type of technology with a DMCA Takedown/Cease and desist for circumventing the Packet inspection protection.
If it doesn't vibrate it can't make a noise.. This sounds like it might require a illicit substance like.. Normal everyday house glue or if your in a big hurry Super Glue. Good thing criminals would have a hard time finding any:)
So a probe needs to be done on Why this is deemed legal.. Is it based on legislation that was past after the wiretaps started? and also is the legislation that this ruling based on legal itself or is it all a smokescreen to make the general public think its legal and make these cases just go away.
But the real question is.. When they do a Radio Spot for a new Album and use Music off that Album do the artists get any royalties for their music being used in that Radio Spot?

I can see it now..
"What am I guilty of?"

DItch DDWRT and go with a openWRT derivative that plays nice.. DDWRT is phat with stuff you are likely not using..

Disconnect.. its the answer.. Business thinks consumers need to meet their needs.. not business meeting the needs of the consumers.
But the real question is.. When they do a Radio Spot for a new Album and use Music off that Album do the artists get any royalties for their music being used in that Radio Spot?
