My LG 24LF452B from BF2016 has a joystick control which can manipulate everything the OSD does. Don't need the remote at all except for direct numerical input.
That looked like a Right Stuff quality ride. I hope they had enough sensors in the capsule to simulate it. It might be a case of being able to successfully land a tub of goo.
Yet another secret out-of-court settlement. And somewhere (not the Times article) I read that both parties agreed to vacate the previous ruling. So NOTHING is official.
And a reminder, the court ruled that Warner Music did not have valid copyright. That's not the same as ruling that "Happy et al" is public domain. American courts never do something so useful. Instead they leave the situation open to future litigation.
So the next product out of china will be a counterfeit counterfeit detection tool. Then FTDI will have to invent a counterfeit counterfeit detection tool tool. So the next product out of china will be a...
An opportunity for JMS to conceed that in a couple hundred years news will not be distributed by printing it out on paper. Hell, people barely get their news that way now.
My pet theory was... Google would load the barges with every book, CD, DVD, film that would fit then tow them to Antigua and make legal copies of it all.
In fact, it may take something this drastic to make video streaming viable.
The disinformation regarding Check21 has been a pet peeve of mine. Unfortunately, it's a futile fight and I don't have a list of myths at the ready.
Check21 drags paper checks into the digital era by declaring that a digital image of a check has the same legal standing as the original paper check. But this is NOT what happens to consumer's checks. Those are converted to ACH debits, sent through a completely different network goberned by different regulations. And these conversions predate Check21 by a couple years.
The only ways the two are similar are: 1) someone takes your money and 2) your check disappears
Get a robocall--press *13 (for example ) to automatically report the previous incoming call as a do-not-call violator. Reports will dwarf web-based reporting even though awareness will be minimal.
Then have the NSA use their AT&T "listening rooms" to track down Rachel.
There's already a * code for reporting harassment. It costs money and requires separately filing a police report.
Thing is, the modern Republicans demand strict conformity to an arbitrary standard of political correctness. If you miss out in any dimension, you're a "Republican In Name Only" and they'd rather expel you from their gated paradise.
Yeah, that would be the "One Drop Rule". Something no doubt familiar and comfortable to Republicans.
The Left has their own extreme PC stupidity. My favorite is the documented Undocumented Immigrant.
I still own an MP2K.1. It lost the ability to set the date sometime in 2010. It reverts back to the 1970's. If Apple wants to patent something, they should patent that.
The tablet gadget I use now is a Nokia N810. Best tablet Apple ever made.
Speaking of bears......a large culture decides that bear gall bladders will make them horny. Before ya know it, the last known bear dies at the hands of someone who bribed its zookeeper. Everybody wins (unless you were a bear).
Yeah, it cost your right nut and, even worse, still works as well as it did when new, but now it's just a valueless collection of plastic and toxic metals.
Almost half of WB's Ka beams are on Anik-F2. They should also be out unless "out of control" has a some very subtle nuances. Maybe CBC doesn't report on anything south of the border.
This summer ATT Long Distance decided to impose minimum charges. So, anyone NOT insane enough to pay $0.39/minute gets to pay $2 anyway. And it's not $2, it's $4.50 after the below the line fees they now add. I figure that $2 is their internal usury cost for collecting the fees, which makes sure that those fees remain pure profit. Blatant greed.
You are not the only one. Reminds me a but of the sentiment that cropped up in Western-genre stories where the old-timer sees the frontier close and feels a sense of loss that none of settlers understand.
It mystifies me that there were people who invented a programming language and thought it was a good idea that you turn over control of browser to these programs whenever and wherever it found them. Genius!
newegg decided that their product pages wiil now only display pices with javascript (I wonder how many realized that). How can I convince newegg to not do that? I can't--"be a good little consumer and run our javascript, we wouldn't hurt a fly". How can I run just the javascript to show the price? That's web2.0 heresy--run it all or get off the net. Like grandma says, a little bit of javascript is like a being a little bit pregnant. (hint: the price is in a javascript array of html snippets in a separate js file. Genius!)
Several years ago some hucksters proposed capturing water from some rivers in northern California during the peak winter runoff and dragging it down to San Diego in a giant plastic bag. Since freshwater is already buoyant, er, floats in seawater, all they needed to do was keep the water from mixing with the ocean. The locals began to yell and scream immediately. I figured that the most likely outcome would be that the con men would vanish the instant their multi-acre bag of muddy water broke open and draped the coast with the mother of all grocery bags.
browser.display.use_document_colors defeats background-image in firefox. At least I think that's the correct one. Whatever it is, it's user accessible through the gui prefs interface. There may be some side-effects, like not being able to buy from amazon.com, but they're pretty insignificant.

And add fine-grained cookie permissions like another browser has. Oh, that other browser is older versions of Firefox.
Letting sites track you until you close your browser is not the same as NOT being tracked. Even the hoard at slashdot doesn't get that.

Aereo took great pains to follow the rules set forth by law and court rulings. And it did not matter.

Your right to not choose their service means just as much as your right to not buy products entirely or partly Made in China.

SF's composting law caused businesses to compost edible food that they used to send to charities for people to eat. Yay good intentions!

I wondered what an EMP will do to LEDs, particularly the ones in a flashlight.

As a monument to bureaucracy. It also "landed" closer to Houston than the others.
