I your example the factory would have to produce 20,000 units that pass quality control per month. So they over produce so they always meet their quota.
In a province where a friend of mine lives, they make replica sports team shirts. Everyone in the villages wears them as they get the extra stock. The shirts are all perfectly fine and would have passed quality control, just they over produce to ensure they always meet the targets required by the customer.
They're using it to distribute their own content - they can still be draconian against other P2P content coming into their network infrastructure. Plus they've said they're not looking at putting the technology back into the community for other P2P clients to use. So basically they've done this to save themselves money.
Part of the problem with being at the forefront and creating the technology is getting economic rivals to then manufacture the newly created technology.
How much leading technology is developed in Europe & the USA and then made in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Korea, India, Vietnam, etc. Surely if we want to develop a lead and keep it we should be concentrating more on keeping the leading edge production within our own borders. In the past we've even ripped off our own allies to get technology, so who knows how much our 'enemies' obtain.
Why? When there have been other more featured phones out there for years:-) Back in 2003 - I got odd looks from Americans when I was travelling with my SonyEriccson P800i. Before that when I had my Palm IIIc and a PalmPix camera I got even more strange looks.
If he's not good at depositions then why is he giving them? Why doesn't he and the lawyers run through the deposition beforehand so they both know what they are after and how to get the info across. It is incompetence on both his and the lawyers NOT to sort out the problems in the deposition before it is given. Which is where peer review of his work would have helped and sorted out the problems detailed in the rebuttal expert witness.
Sometimes management doesn't understand that the little things are more important than the money.
In one job I had flexitime, but then we got new management in and tied a 5k GBP pay rise to loosing the flexi. I rejected the pay rise cause I liked the flexibility. They didn't understand why someone would turn down the extra money.
Another one was leaving a job and taking over 50% pay cut to get a more relaxed job not in the city. Lifestyle and lack of stress is worth more than money (once you've enough to cover all the bills).
As they aren't reselling the image it isn't piracy, its just copyright infringement. If they wanted to they could have gone to the same locations and taken pictures of the same scene and it wouldn't have been infringement. But they used the images and so should pay for the time and effort taken to produce the images they used.
New and refurbished? What about those of us who still have an original (admittedly with a modular plug on the end) but it thankfully still works, although I tend to only use it for incoming calls and don't dial out on it much.
He was flying about looking for a large flat piece of desert as the Black Rock Desert is getting rather cut up with Burning Man & all the other Land Speed Records there. A few years ago Fossett bought Craig Breedloves latest car with the plan to get it working properly and to challenge for the Land Speed Record as held by the British Thrust SSC team - who broke the sound barrier in a car back in October 1997, so its a record due to be broken.
Craig Breedlove was running the car that Fossett bought at the same time as the Thrust SSC team but they couldn't get anywhere near the speeds needed to take the Thrust 2 Land Speed Record.
Didn't they find out that the old ALL (Advanced Laser Lab) thats now retired at Wright-Patterson (arrived 1988) didn't work too well - the problem of tracking and hitting a target small moving at superconic speeds.
Why not use the money NOT annoying the neighbours so you don't need these multi-billion dollar 'anti-weapons'
There is a difference between reporting the results eg. "I the returning officer for Camden County hereby state that in the election of 2007 the votes were cast as follows:....." and "I'm in Camden County with Fox News and it looks like Billy-Bob Walton has a lead in the counting of the polls"
One is the medias right to report, the other is the official results. If the East Coast didn't release the results until the election is over, there wouldn't be a problem - which is oddly enough what almost every other democratic country does. The main problem in the US isn't the results, its the news channels exit polls. To the point where candidates have given speeches on winning or losing based purely on the numbers the media have given 'calling' the election.
Wait till the votes are counted properly and fairly. Your country depends on it.
Why do you need instant reporting though? The posts being voted on don't change for a few weeks after the elections, so its not as if you need an instant tally.
Votes should NOT be counted until the final polling stations have closed, otherwise the results from one station could affect the results in another. This could be a problem with the USA as it has multiple timezones, but they could just do their exit polls and then count the votes the following day and get the results in a reasonable civilised manner.
The info is in the 3rd paragraph, not buried half way down the article.
The BBC is also looking to being able to have users download content onto mobile devices over wifi, which is what the main jist of the article is about.
For those of you outside the UK, you can still obtain the content if you redirect your initial registration & download initialisations through a UK based proxy. Then you can download the content from the USA (like I do when I'm working at the US office and not at home in the UK)
He's sitting on a wall outside a residential home using an unsecured wireless point and you say he'd think it was a public wifi node, despite it being an unlikely place to have one.
So he wasn't stealing bandwidth - he was just connected to the access point and wasn't transferring anything or using any bandwidth what so ever. He was stealing bandwidth by accessing anything beyond the access point. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law. Afterall, it has been on the statute books for the last 4 years, and has wifi theft has been widely reported in the media on previous occasions.
The man was sitting on a wall outside a house. He admitted to the Community Support Officers (not quite the police, but close) who were walking past that he was sitting there to use the unsecured wireless link from that house.
Kinda deserved getting picked up by the police if you admit to them that you're stealing bandwidth.
In England and Wales (Scotland has a separate legal system) the Courts "take into consideration" such things as pleading guilty and admitting to additional offenses they have committed.
Spoofing of CallerID can be a feature though. If you have a number of phonelines with different numbers, you would prefer it that people saw your 'public' central number that someone is going to answer rather than say the number that goes direct to the fax. So if a voice call goes out on the fax line, you spoof the CID to the central number instead.
If you use VoIP - do you want your VoIP number, the Gateway number or your 'central' number to be the CallerID. If you use a web gateway to send SMS messages - do you want the gateway to report their ID as who sent it or your own phones number?
If the US Army had stopped at the German border after liberating France the British, Commonwealth, Russian and other allied forces would have continued to Berlin. Despite what Hollywood says - there was more than just the US Army involved in the 1939-1945 European part of WWII.

What about games for girls?
Grand Theft Pony & Grand Theft Barbie.
Got to mix and match those licenses and franchise.

And now its a singularity - its sucking everything else in around it and consuming it.

Yup - its a Microsoft product with a viral license
710 reasons...
oops - thats upside down.
In Iceland they have a golf tournament in the summer which tees off at midnight soley because they can.

Its not the submarines that is the problem, or the crew. Its the submarine detection gear on the other vessels - like the USS Kitty Hawk.
Trevor Baylis (clockwork radio).
James Dyson (Ballbarrow - wheelbarrow with a ball as the front wheel, cyclonic vacuum cleaner).
Both have developed ideas into products from their own companies after other companies rejected or tried to steal their ideas.
But they're not American, they are British.
