I thought that Common Carrier status means that you are an unbiased transport of content. If AT&T is going to selectively filter content based on someones whim, then wouldn't that be a violation of Common Carrier status let alone the Net Neutrality issue. But wait, AT&T is in the back pocket of the NSA so why not in the back pocket of the MPAA, RIAA, and anyone else that gets cozy with the Southern Boys Club and throws a few simoleons their way.

SCO, welcome to Business 101. Linux is a better mousetrap in terms of customer perceived value than your product. You can't blame Linux for your misfortunes, only yourself.
Both NYU and UCLA are rather liberal leaning schools of indoctrination. The results are no news here. But really, the main parent post topic is a polarizing troll from the start. Yawn.
is one where the rest of the team members don't show up for meetings except Me, Myself, and I. We can get so much done in such a short time that the whole process is a cinch and really does not detract from the day at all.
Besides, the rest were only there to say that they have a meeting to attend to...
I patently refuse to buy Sony products. Their quality went downhill way before all of this digital shenanigans. The only thing that I have that actually still works for 16 years is a My First Sony "Electric Etch-a-Sketch" that you plug into the TV. All the other Sony junk has died within one-two years of purchasing. At least my IBM laptop didn't have a Sony battery in it.
So, they wrap the drive in foam to quiet it down - that makes the cold plate mandatory. No news there. We now have some kind of a pump - more noise added unless they are planning to use a thermosiphon setup. Now a heat exchanger/radiator is needed - free cooled maybe. But if a fan is needed - more noise. If a larger fan is needed for double duty - more noise. Now about replacing the drive when it fails and all the attendant issues with air bubbles, leakage, etc. No thanks - don't need the engineering/service headaches and ridiculous marketing hype.
Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick...rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo...the sky's the limit!-The Tick
But then, when correctly viewed, everything is lewd. Here again, it's the gun that kills people, so say the Brits. I say, it is not the gun, but the person that pulled the trigger.
ZDNet introducing Pot to Kettle....Physician heal thyself.
In reality, I prefer AMD over Intel any day. Everyone knows that benchmarks are rigged. Is this going to tilt my sale one way or another? Not at all. I have not bought a computer where I got to choose the make of processor in several years and I probably won't buy anything until my desktop draws 8's and Ace's. I have a feeling that websites that offer comparisons are biased as well.
In God we trust, all others pay cash......
and what they think about this UNANNOUNCED AUDIO RECORDING and processing? I mean, they complain about the public (the people who pay their paychecks) keep tabs on them courtesy of video cameras.
Yea, and? I used to have a Creepy Crawler maker that had the electric hot plate, the metal molds, the cooling water bath, and GOOP. I knew it was hot and was careful about it. Never burned myself. Now, its a lightbulb and a temperature regulated door. Sounds like the Feds want to pull a China on the internet.
Here in Wisconsin, AT&T has been running a virulent astroturfing campaign via their fake storefront TV4US.COM. The bill that is currently in the state legislature, courtesy of this campaign and probably a few well placed simoleons, completely guts the current "Customer Bill of Rights" for video services. So, if the bill gets passed, the customer will have little or no recourse against AT&T, let alone any other provider, if the service takes a dump, does not perform as advertised, etc.
At this rate and how little programming is out there that is appealing to me, I may chuck my video service, just watch the regular off-the-air services for their edited news, and listen to vinyl or CD's.
$50 for an insulating mesh beekeepers hat. I have some left over 1/2" hardware cloth from making a dirt/stone sifting screen. I spent $6 for a 3' x 5' roll and I have enough left over to make my own version of his beekeepers hat. I wonder if his hat outperforms my tinfoil hat that I use in the presence of DC current...
I was going to go and get a 2GB microSD card for my cellphone. They were the only place in the area that had it. I saved the page URL in my cellphone browser and went to the store. It was posted at almost 2x the web price, and the page was not marked "online or web only". The salesman scanned it in and the store priced popped up. I then tried to correct him and he balked. Then I pulled up the page, on the cellphone, and showed him. He then entered a code and the web price came up. Hmmm... Then he started asking questions about how I pulled up the page on my cellphone. This gets even better, he was dressed in a white shirt, black pants and a black tie......
Check out http://www.arrl.org/qst/worldabove/dxrecords.html for the Amateur Radio DX records. This was achieved long ago and at higher frequencies. Highest RF frequency used for a confirmed two-way communication was 403 GHz between WA1ZMS/4 (FM07ji) and W4WWQ/4 (FM07ji) on 21-Dec-2004 over a distance of 1.42 kilometers. Achieving a frequency is one thing but being able to use it is another.
and some are more equal than others. I believe that only the Star Wars movies show the correct wording from one of the Chancellors: "No one is above the law." Obviously the police don't like being policed by their own systems. The bad part about this is that I have seen the local gendarmarie here come up to a red light, not under call conditions, hit their lights and sirens to go through a red light, then kill them. I tailed a cop doing this once and he was headed right for the drive-up line at a McD's. I have no symphathy at all for them.
He did say that he created the internet. He will show us now that global warming is causing the sunspots to increase. Heck, I should belive him. Why? Because his monthly utility bill is equal to my yearly utility bill.
No fancy slanted keys, prettyprinting, funky colors, just pure vintage rugged HP calculator - molded in keylabels, silicone-in-the-plastic keys, 100% useful. I have a HP-32SII and had an HP-41 that was smashed to pieces (R.I.P.). I would love to see the feel and ruggedness of the HP-32SII and more power than the HP-41. Yes, I still have a good ol' reliable Post slipstick to use and teach with.
I have a quad-band world phone. Whenever it is in the car, I can tell that it is running GSM. When the phone chatters to a cellsite using GSM and I have my radio on, I can hear the carrier buzzing in the speakers. If the phone is running UMTS, I don't hear a thing, even when on a call. With planes being fly-by-wire, I don't think they want the risk of a phone pinging and, by chance, telling the plane to go into an uncontrollable dive as the cell phone signal gets into and messes with the data communications within the plane. Plus, the phones would have to run at full power to try and talk out of the flying tin can that you are in let alone that cell towers are all constructed with downtilt radiation patterns to limit their operational area to allow the cellular concept to work. Not a good thing at all. Maybe if a plane can be certified for this service, and by having its own cellsite inside and talk out via AirCall and bill the service to you, then it may happen. The plane would have to be tested with phones to see if they would interfere with the avionics. I doubt that this will happen in the near future, usless there is huge profit $$$$$ available and people were gullible enough to use it. Me, I prefer the caller to visit my voice mail.
IMNSHO, there is very little, if any, content on TV that is worth pirating, let alone watching. I have DirecTV and about the only thing that I listen to is the XM Classics channel (no irritating commercials). Once the kids move out, I will probably ditch the satellite, go back to OTA TV and an XM radio receiver, if they still exist, or do without. They can put on ALL the controls they want on their TV stuff. I have over 400 record albums and enough hobbies to keep myself occupied. Then when they whine and wonder why no one is watching anymore, I will then refer them to "Obviousman" for advice and consult.
I was going to purchase a memory module for my smartphone. I had a copy of the webpage, with headers and date, with me. The price in the store was SIGNIFICANTLY higher. When the salesman rang it up and I told him that the price was wrong and showed him the page, he doubted the printout. He then went to the BestBuy site there and had "difficulties" finding the product. So, I pulled out the smartphone and brought up the website page (Cellphone internet is SOOO useful). Just as I got to the page, he "found" the page that I had printed and I got the module for the price listed on the page. Fraud, bait-and-switch, wire fraud, and a few others come to mind. Sounds like fodder for some Attorneys General to have fun with. Here again, it pays to do your homework, so, Let The Buyer Beware!!!
I wonder if lessons were learned from the HP affair? Now making your contractors and subcontractors be ethical is good. This is like the seat belt law here in Wisconsin. If a car full gets pulled over and none have their belts on, the driver will only find moths left their wallet after the fines are paid. It is about time and, plus, I have absolutely no symphathy for Cingular/Southern Boys Club/Another Terrible Telephone at all - they deserved the leash. The fine is chump pocket change. Now I wonder what will happen when they inevitably screw up and the leash is pulled back hard. Now that is the question.
Since I have owned my Jeep, I have been rearended four times by the unknowing. I almost had #5 last week (squealing wheels - bobbing front end). Out of the four, three have decided to total their cars using my rear bumper. The worst damage that I have had was a bent bumper. This is honestly a good idea citing the tailgaters. It will help prevent the clueless from visiting my bumper, but in some ways, I would prefer Darwin to remove them from the road. It will make the road safer for the people who try to follow the rules.
