So what happened to innocent until proven guilty and due process ? You've made your decision based on WHAT FACTS, or legal process ?? I agree that pirating MP3's is a crime, but to compare an adminstrative order issued by the COMPLAINTANT (RIAA), to a legally binding write issued by a federal authority after an investigation is foolish. Make the RIAA go to a judge and provide basis for a write and require judicial review JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER NON FEDERAL entity has to go through. The issue of the crime is moot here it is the observance of DUE PROCESS as required by OUR BILL OF RIGHTS.
he did not work for direcTV, he worked for an outside legal firm that was hired for an UNRELATED incident, he was an office assitant making photo-copies, he was a MINOR at the time of the violation, though he is 19 now, so the NDA does not hold water, HIS UNCLE, a partner in the law firm SHOULD be the one in trouble, he HAD lawyer/client relationship with the DirecTV and then allowed the documents into INSECURE hands.
I do agree that this IS NOT a freedom of speech issue or a constitutional one though...
I understand the difference and I am currently paying for a business class connect thanks.... My point was unless the PROVIDER includes limits and details them in the contract they are just whining, and even if they do, to then advert ALWAYS ON instant connect without noting subject to system availablity is BS. I do agree with about you multiple hosts != higher usage.
"Don't rant and rave about..." why else would anyone come to slashdot ??:)
but I can remember when the phone company, and there WAS ONLY MA-BELL back then claimed to OWN the phones inside your house. The first cable companies regulated the number of TV's you could use by lowering th power on the line, but again why is it my problem (Joe User) if an ISP has been foolish and promised customers always on bandwidth and then doesn't have the bandwidth when those customers try to exercise the service they've payed for ??
BTW how does my use of the end product affect ANY OTHER USERS ? we are not talking token ring here what hits my house ends there cable TV speaking ?
!!!"But that doesn't mean they should plan for an event in which all users want all their bandwidth simultaneusly." !!! Why not ? Fail to plan for a viable worst case and you are a FOOL, and generally a bankrupt one.
As an employee of a major bank, I'd suggest you read your account agreement, they HAVE thought of that and you will be stuck with a Cashiers check if the manager decides the case warrants it. As an Aside I do have a business class SDSL connect with redundency and a rate for redress if they are down outside SOW for more than 2 hours, and it is quite a bit steeper 149.00 for 384 sdsl.
if they can't or DON't want to deliver the bandwidth they advertise then STOP ADVERTISING IT. I pay for a 383/384 SDSL connection, I expect to be able to use EVERY MBIT at ANY TIME I SO CHOOSE. If that is a problem for my ISP then they #1 had better stop overselling their lines. I am curious as to how this differs from the cable companies trying to limit the number of TV's you could have plugged in to cable, or the phone company telling you how many phone extensions you could install ? These practices were struck down before, how can they get away with it now ? This is like the airlines selling to many seats on a particular flight, and then not understanding why someone is upset when they can't get on board because the 'unthinkable' happened and everyone showed up....
unless you generate traffic, extended power needs, or use controlled chemicals. I run my business from my home, I have a license, but none of what I needed, power, T1, SDSL etc needed upgrades beyond residential needs. Now if you decide to say start a manufacturing business I could see some issues but otherwise screw em.
Who is Using SCO these days ? When we had CRAY systems we used lots of code from SCO but we've since migrated and to my knowledge other than the claims they are making to code included in Linux Unix I can't think of any SCO code in use ?
"Some top-selling bands such as the Beatles and Rolling Stones have not agreed to let fans download their songs, limiting the music supply."
LOL if this is not a major symptom of the ROT at the core of the music industry, The BEATLES have not made a tune in decades and yet they are one of the top selling bands, the Rolling Stones are older than dirt and riding on fame from 20 years ago, JUST LIKE THE RECORD INDUSTRY. Gee that means the combined might of the record companies have not been able to produce a better band in 25 years ?!?!?! It must be MP3's killing music...
Don't get me wrong I think the whole concept is SCAREY, but MY BOSS just loves it. Imagine if we could push by GPO an expiration that was imbeded in the document, so that it would self destruct 90 days after creation...it makes info security nearly WET themselves in anticipation.
like say clustering up from 2 node max to 12 nodes, addressable memory support up to above 64 GB, 64 bit OS support, NIC load balancing, TRUE DEVICE ADDRESSING (ie no drive letters)for extended SAN support, and from what I hear a.8 version of a connectix vm system, plus features like BUILT IN document license management, full remote control support. The primary reason we're moving is for the extended clustering support.
We purchase custome instake filters made just like your AC filters. Some plastic hooks and it woks great. They hard part is remembering to replace the stuff, the clog up hard and WILL BURN out your machine if you don't stay on top of it. Have you considered enclosing the entire machine in a plexi glass bubble ? Sounds silly but a large, standard air filter could be used then and the only exposed parts could be a sealed KB/mouse combo...
the laws of conservation are going to ensure you can't spend 10 calories vibrating to generate more than that, so taking advantage of the already operating equipment seems very feasible but generating new vibrations to power existing devices seems silly. The a mandatory vibrate() every 3 minutes probably is a power waster, while harvesting from the already vibrating ring could gain some energy back. I wonder if it could get so sensitive to derive energy from the rumbling of your HEART:)
since american companies did away with salary policies based on performance, job class, and started basing salaries on negotiating skills. Hell even vacation is negotiable where I work now.
BINGO, I can't say as the response was very professional but you are correct. I am sure the MOZ folks just gathered and took submissions till they found one that sounded cool. I am just as suer they did not intend to step on anyone toes, certainly not another OSS project from SourceForge. This is just overreaction and when the dust settles, firebirdSQL will have their name, and the Browser formerly named Pheonix will find something new, how about NEWT:)
from the treatment the employees get from the employeer and the government. They hand around your info freely. If perhaps we were treated with a modicrum of dignity and respect, it just maybe it might get returned, NOT. Treat your employees and idiots and crooks, and you will get morons and thieves:)
Why is salary and compensation secret ? I can remeber getting bonuses in front of people to HIGHLIGHT your work and effort and to illuminate to the rest of the staff that such things happened and extra effort was rewarded. Now we are told this is confidential information not to be discussed with anyone, SCREW YOU, we get tohether and compare notes all the time. If the company wants to play games and not pay based on solid criteria and reviews and performance, vs private negotiations then they had better be prepared to deal with the kind of environment that generates...
Nextel radio is awesome, clear very very cheap and easy to use, their phone coverage is not very good, but with a nextel I can connect to buddies who work other places via the radio with no problems. I am near SF, Calif and regularly chat with a friend in Reno Nevada via the radio function.
I personally did not, no. Nor did I make the decision to close. It was done at the behest of legal counsel. It was a small satelite office. From what I understand our lawyer seems to think it won't stand very long, but we are not in a position to spend the money, nor do we have enough resources commited there to make it worth a fight. We have however contacted our reps here in California and pointed out the basic stupidity of such a law.
I ride bikes as well, both street and dirt, and yes we have helmets pads ect. but the basic design of a bar stool racer is BAD:) to high up and unbalanced. Just the slightest wheel nudge and it will go over. Running around by yourself is cool, contact with anything or anyone else and roadrash..
Michigan and layed off 18 people as a direct result of this law. We've relocated operations to another less intrusive state.
