Yet another case of a conservative moving with the herd and not thinking for himself. You may be right, but how is that any different than what happens on Fox News or CNN? There have been multiple scandles over the years about how mainstream media menipulates the facts, left and right wing alike. Fair and balanced my ass. Unlike the mainstream medoa however, Moore openly claims to have an opinion, and tells you about it before you see the movie.
Good. I hope they nail these fuckers to the wall. Recording from theatres is not only ethically wrong, but stupid. I have a hard time understanding how this is such an incredible threat to the motion picture industry. Nobody wants a camcorder recording of a movie. For all the trouble it takes to get one from the web, it's easier to just go to the video store and wait for the release. Unless you like spending the weekend downloading, only to get a camcorder recording of some movie you were never really interested in to begin with.
Not necessarily. They just opened that Xml installer program. But that's not what I'm concerned about.
The thing that seems very strange to me is that they start opening up source code with real open source licenses, then they go on several notable tirades directly, and indirectly about how open source is inferior and costs more money than you expect. Can you say the same for the utilities they've released themselves?
If so, could you say by using their own rhetoric that using Microsoft products are just too costly, inferior from a quality stand point, and cost a lot more money than anyone expects? Wouldn't more Microsoft "open" source just be more of the same? I was saying that anyway.
I just wish they would get their marketing straight. Are they for, or against open source? Is it a costly horrible thing that destroys businesses and governments, that isn't really free? Or is it a useful tool that they encourage their developers to take part in from time to time, even going as far as to open an open source demonstration lab?
Is this one company making concerted informed opinions... or several?
Really?
I was under the impression that if you had trusted computing turned on, it wouldn't run any of them without certification from microsoft. I could be wrong.
" No man, it's a different CPU endian since they're going PPC instead of Intel for XB2. They'd need to emulate an x86 CPU to get the XB1 game bytecode to run on the XB2. That's fine for normal proggies but for graphics instensive, CPU optimized code like games, it would take a hell of a lot of CPU horse power to make the games enjoyable under an emulator."
Even though ms hasn't said anything about this yet, why would they make such a big change in the architecture when they're trying to gain market share? Doesn't sound like it would make business sense.
You might make your commission on a click basis, but commission junction and most other advertisers everywhere sell ads on a cost per impression basis. The idea is that they get a thousand impressions for every click they pay out. That's called... a business model.
Read the article, it has nothing to do with affiliate ad sites. It talks about people who area selling ads. Could be anyone, and it's not specific to affiliates.
Not complete rubbish last I checked. Seriously, look into advertising rates anywhere but Google or the search engines who have their own separate business models, and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
That's why the standard is per impression CPM (cost per thousand). One user even from home could generate hundreds of impressions if the content is interesting enough, and the pages are chocked full of useful ads!
Per click is another methodology, but until Google came along, it really wasn't the standard on the ad sales end. Still isn't outside of Google and the search engines.
That said, most web sites do know exactly what demographics are visiting their web sites and when. If it's important enough to buy software to do it, and most do, there are several useful software packages that come to mind. Web Trends is the first one I think of. That program in particular actually catches many of the problems described in the article, and it's not unusual. Many such programs have similar functionality.
Honestly, it would have been nice to see them do their home work before writing yet another scare piece.
Hiring anyone based on education or certification alone is always a bad idea. When I hire people for my projects, I look for people with years of real world experience, and good references.
Now that is what the GPL is about. Saving money&time in development, making money in sales & support (of course I probably wouldn't want France supporting my KMissle Launch Control System), and giving back to the world an improvement on what they borrowed.
Usually when countries make big announcements like this, it's usually a ploy to get microsoft to "cut their software bill in half." But I think it does point to the idea that there is going to be a standard for govermental use of open source softare eventually. And there could be huge or at least modest money in it for those that create it. Even if this doesn't result in france moving to oss, at least the dialog is opened. I have a feeling we'll see more of this from governments trying the waters of open source software, and the tides of change.
Isn't this the same genius who proposed that everyone committing digital copyright infringement should get their computers blown up, only to be revealed a few days later that his home page was made using illegal pirated software? What a schmuck.
It's nuts. And it doesn't solve the problem, any problem associated with DVD's. I bet I could still copy them if I wanted to... which is a major problem with DVD's that no one seems to be addressing.
Maybe this is part of microsoft's strategy the bleed money slower over the next few years and actually start using their existing investments in useful ways. It's nice to know that third rate Anti-virus company they bought last year is going to good use. Now Microsoft can be a third rate anti-virus company as well. I can't remember who said it, but someone at symantec last week said that he hoped microsoft wouldn't try to do this because they don't have the credentials. Still. It's going to be fun to watch.
Your missing the point. It only doesn't apply to you if it's a contract. So look at it this way: Does the constitution constitute a constitutable contract? I believe it does. Anything less would be unconstitutional.
Security expert, diabolical mastermind, software company owner, and over achiever, Sam Samuelson has discovered a land based phone Virus. This Virus transmits itself through phone lines and speakers to other compatible phones in the area. The virus generally spreads through Nortel multi-line phones, although Experts at Sam Samuelson's software company expect variants for Nortel single line phones, SBC switch boards, and a variety of office devices created by Lucent Technologies. The virus, also known as a "worm" in tech circles, uses the phones to spread throughout a network, and attempts to scan customer databases to make obscene phone calls. One customer remarked "It just said, 'I want to see you nekkid' over and over again. Caller ID confirmed the call came from my local Office Troth. So I called Office Troth and they said they had no interest in seeing me nekkid. They had apparently been having similar problems the whole week." Sam Samuelson predicts that this could be the beginning of a huge big incredible money making trend, and that you need to buy his Nortel phone protection software before the Virus gets you too! AT&F is confidant in their network, and said in a comment to the press "We're confident in our network and it's security. We buy plenty of software from Sam Samuelson. Under the terms of our contract with Sam's company, we're fully protected from phone Viruses, Worms, Trojans, and the Boogie Man." A company representative said in a taped interview.
I thought it was neat to see the pioneer, NEC, and nintendo models that never made it here to the states. Not to mention the playstation cards for the PC. That would be neat to have. I don't know if I would try to build a cluster out of all of these assorted machines, but if I did... all your base would belong do me!
Well, maybe they understand that the SCO thing didn't work, and now they have to have to do their dirty work themselves... as themselves, in true extra kitchy Microsoft style.
Just once it would be great if they could come up with an original idea. Unfortunately, they seem to have ripped off another one.
I wonder if Ballmer said, "You know, those Republicans are being too innovative. I think it's time to steal their thunder with a tour bus of our own. Yes... get on it right away Chris Sharp, you former Red Hat Whipping boy whore!!! Get on it, bitch!" "But my name's Nick McGrath, sir." "Whoever."
And the Diabolical Microsoft Bus of Destruction, was born! CRASH thunder and lighting, que dramatic music!
Actually, NT service pack 6 broke my Win sockets on several machines. Then service pack 6a (which was supposed to be the fix for the fix) made the machines impossible to turn off without rebooting.
It was widely covered everywhere. It was talked about on Slashdot and even MSDN. I personally haven't had trouble like that on XP, but I haven't worked with XP as extensively as others here on the dot.
So there's your instance of one or more service packs screwing up one or more machines. I've heard of others having similar experiences with different service packs, but have not experienced any of them personally.
Over the next few years, there's going to be a huge market for redio jammers to block RFID chips. If I had some money to invest, I would start looking there. Just a thought.

I wonder if asus over riding it could be considered a DCMA violation.

Yes, but the whole point was that a privacy policy is not a contract. It's a policy. A best practice declaration, if you will. Nothing more.
Yeah, although they're still devoted to their core business, litigation.
Your missing the point. It only doesn't apply to you if it's a contract. So look at it this way: Does the constitution constitute a constitutable contract? I believe it does. Anything less would be unconstitutional.
