All my bills are paid through a service known as Billpay. All the banks and credits unions have something similar.
I use a billpay system also, but:
The billpay system has been unable to get my home mortgage billing details (I think the mortgage company would prefer that I use their own system to pay the mortgage, but I refuse to hand control of when my mortgage gets paid over to the biller)
There were some changes recently which meant that some bills stopped being available through the billpay system for about a month, and then I had to sign up again.
In summary, checks still needed.
Oh, and when my employer made some changes to the payroll system, they required voided checks to set up the direct deposit of pay. At least one employee had to get his first ever book of checks so that he could hand in a voided check.
If they don't restore your video, then they can be named in a criminal lawsuit for violating the DMC Act. And they will be punished. So YES the law does compel youtube to restore your video.
Actually, NO. 512(g) does not say this. It says that the ISP cannot be used for replacing content if they follow the procedure, but if they don't follow the procedure, they lose immunity from being sued. What it does not do is create a cause of action if the ISP does not follow the procedure for a counter-notice (it does not have a clause that says the ISP can be sued under the DMCA for not replacing material subject to a counter notice)
Imagine that you have a contract with the ISP to post some material. In this case, if the ISP failed to comply with the counter-notice procedure, you could sue them for a contract violation. But you don't have a contract that compels Youtube to post any material for you, so you are SOL if Youtube won't replace material subject to a counter-notice.
Youtube would yank your video and you had no way to get it restored. At least now under the DMCA you have the legally-protected right to get your video put back up.
Nope. You have no right to have your content restored. The law does not compel Youtube to restore anything -- it merely provides Youtube with a safe harbor against being sued if Youtube does restore the content.
Please, the BES keys have not been handed over... because they can't be...
I don't know how BBs work, so this is pure speculation, but when connecting to a BES server, does the device require a specific key that is tied to that server, or merely any valid key? If the latter, then a man-in-the middle system could allow connections to BES servers to be spied upon.
So, basically, RIM is handing over its own private keys, with corresponding public keys built into all Blackberries, worldwide, to a government agency.
Why don't they just do it the simple way and post their private keys on their website?
Maybe it shouldn't matter, but that's what Verizon agreed to when they signed a contract with the FCC (paying for Spectrum without arbitrary limits on usage). If they don't think that's acceptable, and signed the contract anyway, well - that's just stupid, and trying to rationalize unethical behavior is simply disingenuous.
Verizon didn't deny any device access - they just charged for each device, something which wasn't denied by the rules.
But the did not just "charge for each device", they added an extra charge for devices that were not connected to their network
If people hadn't gotten greedy, violated their contracts,
But that's the point of the ruling: Verizon wasn't allowed to put those limitation in their contracts. According to you, only Verizon's customers have to abide by contract terms, while Verizon itself doesn't have to abide by contract terms it agreed with the FCC
"shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee's C Block network, subject to narrow exceptions."'
The restriction which Verizon agreed to was they would not limit or restrict " the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice". Clearly, retricting tethering is limiting the ability of their customers to use the applications of their choice.
There are a lot of songs you can recognize instantly from the 60's and 70's because they used unusual instruments like the sitar.
For me, the '70s brought synthesizers which introduced a radical change in music. Prog Rock from the '70s was significant different to its predecessors and successors. Think of Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, etc..
And really WHAT DOES IT MATTER to ANYONE that he's broke too? Does the knowledge that HE RUINED HIMSELF TOO make it any better on the others???
He is "ruined" in a fashion that many people would envy. He will have pensions from his sporting career that will make him wealthier than most Americans.
It's annoying that critics of the stupid way Americans pay for health insurance fall back on aggregated statistics to convince us to move to an even stupider way of paying for health care that seems to result in inferior outcomes.
So, basically, your answer to my point that your statistics are meaningless in the context of the argument you were promoting is an ad-hominem?
"The cohort of Japanese men in the Honolulu Heart Program studies has a life expectancy that is longer than their counterparts in Japan, and Japan has the longest life expectancy of any country in the world."
I don't see any attempt to make adjustments for the different lifestyle the cohort had, for example, being in internment camps might contribute to a longer lifetime, also, the cohort were not exposed to the Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs which may result in a lower lifetime for the Japanese people in Japan.
What about a no-sports plan where you don't pay for the sports channel
FTFY
Really, that would have the most value to me. ESPN is (or so I have read) one of the most expensive sets of channels for the cable companies to acquire, so it annoys me to pay for them, when I never watch them. Of course in the scenario where I can choose (and actually pay less) for not getting ESPN, that is going to increase your cost of ESPN.
but i wanna see the maths on how many setups will save you money if you grab Your Channels and also grab say "The Fae TeaGarden Channel" or some other channels that they just can't get viewers for
I think that your example is exactly why the cable companies don't wnat to eliminate bundling. The cable companies don't pay for "The Fae TeaGarden Channel", but how to explain that if the customer doesn't want that channel, there will not be a reduction in the monthly charge?
But once you look at the numbers for energy conversions, it is actually more efficient to mechanically couple an ICE to the wheels than to use it as a generator and run an EV motor.
That is not the end of the story. Engines have an operating point at which they are most efficient. If you couple the engine to a generator/battery system, you can use the engine ONLY in this mode, while a mechanical coupling to the wheels requires operation of the engine at lower efficiencies. Perhaps this does not outweigh the losses of the generator/battery/motor train, but I wonder if if might with an engine that was a completely new design aimed at single-mode operation.
If he has something to hide, he must be a terrorist or criminal, according to all the comments from people who want to take our privacy away from us on the basis that it should not matter if we don't have anything to hide!
The facts are, the judge has a history of ruling AGAINST Microsoft, but you wouldn't know that from the groklaw article. That is how they show bias.
Perhaps he had such a history 10 years ago, but in this case, he has consistently ruled for MS (and been overruled on appeal). What the motivation for that is, I don't know.
Nokia Lumia does not cost $49 to customers. It costs (and makes profit of) $49 + whatever mobile operators make during the two year contract. God americans are stupid if they still go for this marketing trick. Even Slashdot runs bullshit story like this!!
You are still wrong. The costs are $450 (the advertising cost) plus the handset subsidy. AT&T pays more than $49 per handset to buy from Nokia.
What? Death row inmates get full appeals, and usually have to wait 15-20 years for their sentence to be carried out. This gives plenty of time for new evidence to be discovered, new technologies to develop, etc. This isn't Soviet Russia where a kangaroo court declares you guilty and they pop you in the head as soon as you walk out of the courtroom. We have due process, we have an appeals process that has been proven to work. Your argument is nothing more than tin foil hat and makes no sense.
I have three words for you: Cameron Todd Willingham. Convicted and executed on the basis of junk science. Actually, that's not true. The "expert" testimony was an insult to junk science even. There was no science involved, just pure speculation and mythology dressed up as "scientific".
Slashdot Mirror
Darl managed to lose all or most of what he got from SCO, I think his house was foreclosed on some time after he lost his job at SCO.
Portfolio of what? A jury decided that Novell owned the old Unix copyrights and SCO only had one patent.

Submitter here: RTFA!!! The point is that music has become measurably more similar over the last 50 years.

Most jurisdictions consider that a criminal offense.
No, it isn't that simple. Only if the key design elements are orignal does it get protection.
Give them Ubuntu 12.04 and tell them it is Windows 8!

Why are none of the patents owned by Flexera software cited as prior art?
