It will cost close to nothing to do the change. The date for changing from daylight saving to normal time (and the other way around) is supposed to be configurable by timezone (the date is different in different part of the world and some part of the world don't change time).
Europe just changed their rule to synchronize everybody on the same time. In the process they changed the date of the change (this year it was a week earlier in europe than in north-america). Beside the impact on peoples (some part of europe changed the time advance their clock 2 hours) I haven't heard anything involving cost in modifying computer software.
I don't think one absolutely need to be able to write UMD to provide software for the console.
From the system menu, it does appear that one can load games from the MemoryStick... So I assume that provided some SDK, it would be easy to publish small games or other software for the PSP that people could download on the MemoryStick and play/run on the PSP.
It will not work... The PSP support only the MP4 container... Not AVI ot any other. Also the audio must be AAC... Most divx files has their audio encoded in MP3 (some OGG).
Also the PSP support bitrate not exceeding 768kb/s.
If you do not like "floaters" or ad on a web site, just don't visit it.
I agree that popups are bad because they grab your screen real estate, they go outside the content provider space into your personal space.
But floaters do not use any of your personal space. When you visit a website, you are giving the content provider some space on your screen. In return it provides you with content of interest. If in addition, in the same space you are allowing him to use, it provides ads, just live with it.
And if you don't like the way he serve ads, then just leave the site.
If a web site become too anoying, I either complain to the site operator or just leave the site and not return to it anymore.
We don't need to escalade the arm race against ads... We already have way to disable ads images ans popups. We also have a way of saying to content provider that the way they display ads annoys us. I believe that's more than enough!
One of the obvious advantage about distributing the show that way is that they will not be bound by existing FCC regulation, for over-the-air distribution, regarding advertising, ratings, etc.
The problem with producer having to distribute their own show is that they take the risk on their own shoulders. Because there is no distributor who is paying them a base amount so they can cover their production fee. So if the show is not popular enough, they will loose more money that if they have a contract with some distributor which will pay them some known amount even if the show is not popular.
If at some point a producer want to actually "test" this business model, they will probably go with a new show with a small production cost. Not with a show with a number of viewers in constant decline.
The user interface is really nice and cool while being simple.
However, like most other online mapping application, they don't provide geographic coordinates which could be used in a GPS device.
Right now, I'm using using Multimap most of the time, even if their maps are a bit outdated, because they provide geographic coordinates.
If they google where to provide geographics coordinate, at least for driving direction, with a way to download them in a text or xml file, it will beat the compitition without any doubt.
Double layer staganography will not be very practical. When you hide someting, you need a lot more data than what you are hiding. For example, if you can hide 1 byte of data within 8 bytes of data, your will require 64 bytes of data to hide the same information in two layers.
It far more practical to encrypt the data you want to hide (making it look random), then you hide it use steganography. This has the added benefit of making it more difficult to find a pattern (encrypted data should appear random) in the data that hides your secret.
The Versa Mail application included with Palm One devices is able sync your mail when you do a hotsync. The computer will d/l e-mail from an IMAP or POP3 account and store it on the PDA. It will also send e-mail your wrote on the PDA via a SMTP server.
And there is always the infrared port which can be use to connect to a cell phone.
If you paid for access for a month and you were unable to access their server for most of the month, then you bet that you can sue them to have a refund for the month in question.
You would not even have to hire a lawyer... Just go to small claim court.
However, if you were not able to access the server for one day, than I doubt you would have a case.
The fact that part of the ToS in invalid would not invalidate the complete ToS (I'm sure there is a clause to that effect in the ToS).
Actually... beside open source software, a lot of software that you can get for free comes with EULA that are more confusing and much longer that EULA for software that you paid for.
The thing is, AFAIK, that your cannot terminate ones copyright by contract. One can transfer his copyright to some other entity, but copyright cannot be terminated.
So this clause of the contract would be invalid. I'm pretty sure that the father will win in court if it ever goes there.
The only problem that he may have is probably within Yahoo right to not let anyone else access the account. But should not prevent Yahoo to provide the content of the account.
It is also possible that Yahoo will only be forced to provide the e-mails the deceased wrote and not the ones he received.
By I can see application of this for the military... Squirrel^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HPara-trooper could use techniques and technology "developed" by this guy to drop somewere fast and with little exposure.
Even better for suprnova is that it didn't even personally chose the torrents it hosted.
That is not entirely true... Suprnova had moderators that check the quality of the torrents. Maybe the moderators were not linked to host site, but I'm pretty sure that the line is grey in this case... And when the line is grey... Lawyers are happy!
I'd specifically stay away from the Minolta Z line myself (very disappointed with the Z3)
I just bought the Minolta Z2 and so far I'm quite happy with it... I saw review of the Z3 and they were not that good. However, the Z2 score fairly well in reviews. The Z2 has no image stabilization but so far it's not a problem (I've used the zoom at 10X only on well lit subjects).
I have a similar system... But I generate random passwords and keep them in an encrypted file on my Palm.
I don't really understand the noise with memorizable passwords. A random 8 characters password with mixed cased and numbers takes me about 4-5 times (number of time I have to enter it) to memorize it.
For those I don't use very often... then my little Palm app will help me remember them.
I would like to add that when you buy some software... The only contract you agree too is within you and the place where you buy the box. You are in no way linked to the entity who produced the good. This third party cannot enforce any contract upon you. Now if you copy the game to give to someone else, then you are comitting copyright violation.
If for some reason, Valve is disabling your account, it is the reponsability of the store to fix the issue... If the store cannot fix it, then they have to issue a refund or provide a replacement... If they do not solve the problem to your satisfaction (in this case you being able to play the game), you can sue them in small claim court.
Now if you modify your copy of the game, then the warranty will no longer apply... They may be allowed prevent you from playing the game (or using the network play), but if you reinstall a fresh, unmodified copy... They MUST allow you to play.
You must note that in the biodiesel equation, the renewal of the energy source is included. With oil, it is not!
You can easily overcome the deficit in biodiesel with other source of renewable energy.
We will always spend more energy producing energy (in a useable form) than the useable yield. Oil is no different, we just profiting from a slow preproduction process thank to all living matter that died since the earth has been created.
Slashdot Mirror
It must be noted that the one who leaked the information are the one who release a document with a really weak way to censure the sensitive parts.
The one who should be blamed are not the people who made it public, but the people who released the PDF document.
Publicizing this will just help (I hope) in preventing the same mistake to happen again.

This remind me of the old saying : The difference between kids and adults is the cost of their toys.
It looks your are the first person who had a clue about the real reasons for the disparity.
Fines are not based on how bad the society (people) think the crime is, but about how bad the lobbies (corporations) think the crime is.

Java source code is available with little effort. So if you want to check it out and do some security analysis, you can do it.

This was the only Tablet PC that Gates could rely on. This particular implementation never failed him.
But as with any Microsoft OS, access to the data is wide open.
The same way that : ...
- Windows 3.11 got to 95
- dBase got to II without ever going to I
- Netscape 4.8 got to Netscape 6.0
