heh. Personally I don't want to pay $15-$20, but I don't really want to pay $0 either, I'd be happy to throw some money to THE ARTIST.
Personally, I'm not all that interesting in funding the RIAA...
The other thing you can do as a security check is to transmit a CRC check of every few frames and store that data elsewhere in some sort of write-once format. Even if all you do is burn it to CDR with some serialized or preprinted discs, it would be immediately obvious if somebody attempts to tamper after the fact.
Not only would it be against regulations, but it would be fair to say that if the cop doesn't hit record or subsequently loses the recording or whatever, then as a matter of law the suspect's account would be considered correct and binding.
IOW, the recording would be used to protect the officer against false misconduct complaints.
It's no different then the current system, all this suggestion was intended to do was extend the record buffer from 3-5 minutes to the maximum available free space (3 hours was used as an example)
I've always wondered why my PVR only lets me scroll back up to an hour when I actually have significantly longer then 1 hour available on the drive. Granted, it would be rare that I'd go back more then an hour, but it just feels like a limit for the sake of a limit, rather then a limit for any practical purpose. Same concept as voicemail limiting the amount of time you can store a message -- WHY??? Limit the size of the mailbox (Number of messages, total number of minutes, whatever), but what's the problem if I want to save a message for the next 10 years?
True, but if it's that specific then all I have to do to "protect" myself is reencode all the the MP3 files I have, it wouldn't be hard to alter the hashes of all my music if I wanted.
And more important, what about legal music?
If I own a CD and make an MP3 of that content, it is 100% legal. How do they get a list of all the CDs I own legally to ensure that they only delete illegal music?
C:\MP3\Commentary\artistname - tracknr trackname.mp3
That's not an inappropriate name for a commentary, and the commentary would be legal to distribute over a P2P network.
Would that be entrapment, even if it was set up by police? And more importantly, isn't it only entrapment if it is set up by the police?
While technically true, I doubt you have enough memory that you could spend minutes reading it without rereading any portion. The same applies for drives.
Going faster may shave a few seconds/minutes off your boottime, but aside from that, personal experience is that the system doesn't spend enough time waiting on drive reads to make it worthwhile investing serious cash on a cache or faster drive.
With the current hardware? Would be nice if it worked, but the last few packages I've received they didn't show as being received until 6-8pm that night (local time)
The data I really want, as a receiver, is to know whether or not UPS has already made a delivery attempt today or not (If I haven't been around) so that I know if I should go home and wait or not...
No problem, get the SecurID card merged with the door access cards, then wander around the office and take them all. Anyone that gets locked outside the next day no longer needs their job.
Because a lot of these people strugle with booting a computer, copy/paste is beyond them.
It doesn't apply to everybody, obviously, but there is a large segment it does apply to.
As I understand it the issue is bandwidth between the PC and the wireless display. It's much more efficient to use RDP or X or even VNC rather then trying to pick up data from VGA.
So MP3 in bad quality format should be legal then, as long as you make it challenging to download, not as simple as just typing what you want and downloading right away?
That was the whole point of my post -- The capicity limitiations that cell companies always claim (at least, the ones around here use it as an excuse for everything) is bogus, since we're not using over-the-air bandwidth for this project.
True, except that as I understand it, the telcos don't use "real" numbers for this process, they use transfer codes (to avoid wasting phone numbers)
I may be wrong though, I didn't deal with that portion of the system very much.

No no, they just blame the problem on pirating, rather then coming up with actual solutions
Fuck, it's almost worth paying the $4.95/month just to see what it makes of the various misspellings spammers use.
Get the reverse going, how do the "Come in at 7" crowd know if the "Come in at 10" crowd really stay to 6 or not?
The only problem with flex hours are the retards you work with.

That's your problem... Humor Jokes aren't normally recognized here, "non-humorous jokes" (See: ??? profit, all your base, etc) are preferred.
Welp, you're half right, it is illegal...

They were waiting on the original to go through so somebody could post a dupe...

From what I've seen the current ones take down information, but until they get to their shipping outlet the information doesn't go anywhere.

They're actually spitting out cleaner code to IE then other browsers?

Not sure where you are, but there may well me laws to assist you in handling the voice telemarketers...
