Same with the power plant. Your office is now located in side the containment building. Do you think they would pay more attention to the network security?
Not only that, but biomass is essentially a closed cycle. All of the CO2 that you're generating is coming from plants that recently took that same CO2 out of the air, so there's no net addition of greenhouse gasses. This is a direct contrast to fossil fuels, where the carbon was previously buried in the ground for millions of years.
Burning fossil fules is closed cycle too, it is just that the time line for the cycle is much much longer...
Change the price of a CD containing 18 tracks to $9.99 and sales will recover nicely. It's really that simple.
Ahh, but you hit on one of the main problems facing the recoding industry... there are few bands out there, willing to sell thier souls, that have the talent to make 18 tracks for one album....
Music downloading levels the playing field for the local bands, they have a larger audience to play to now, that they would have otherwise never reached. The RIAA hates that!
Because if it REALLY sucked, I imagine they wouldn't be downloading the same artists they keep saying suck.
Well, to me it sounds like there are at least two classes of people here. The first (The old farts) who are dissatisfied with the avaiable choices that are avaiable, and might download music to try it out, which I do not. I've just given up on music, I have neither the time now the money to throw away. And the second class of users (lets call them the young leachers). They download everything that is not nailed down. They may or may not listen to the downloaded music but they can get it all for free so why not? Disk space is cheap, bandwidth is relativly cheap, so what the heck?
I think both classes of people are fed up with the over priced over hyped products sitting in the music stores and online.
Like I have said before, there is no viable way to check out the product with out paying though the nose for it. Once you take the product home, your stuck with it, even if it sucks. And IMHO, a lot of it does suck, so why bother.
The continious downloading is a result of the lack of choice and lack of a better pricing model. It may not be lawful, nor moral, but the market place is never moral, just efficient. What the Recording companies are refusing to do is acknoledge that there they need a new buisness model.
It is a bit surprising that they haven't switched to DVD or something similar yet. New media, new players, new sales. All in the name of "better technology."
And excellent point, but new technology means more compact storage, and the ability to hold more music. The RIAA and its members would have to come up with innovate ways to make the average joe want to give up their CD player that works with all of their current music just fine, thank you very much.
I do not see new technology supplanting the current tech until there is a compelling reason to do so. And I do not see the RIAA providing ANY compelling reasons to do so that does not involve the legislature.
Because the artists don't see a dime from these "pirated" cd's.
What makes you think that artists see a dime from the purchased CDs? Perhaps the largest acts do, but it is well known that the largest artists start thier own recroding lables just to make sure they get a cut of the take on record sales.
While there is undoubtedly a lot of piracy going on, I attribut it to the lack of avaiablilty of different types of music as well as the rediculious cost of the product. The record companies brough this upon themselves.
All I see in most of the so called music stores is POP tripe. I like Jazz, heavy metal, clasic rock, and clasical piano, to name a few. But I will be damned if I'm going to pay $15 for a CD just to try it out. If I do not like it I cannot return it.
If the music were more reasonably priced I would spend some money on it. I don't bootleg music, I do not have time to spend doing that. I just stopped listening to new music.
IMHO the record companies have screwed themselves. People (the ones with the time) are copying music because it is easier to spend the time "stealing" music then it is to buy it. That speaks volumes about the record industry, and how they are screwing the public and the artists. Right or wrong they will eventually have to adapt or be crushed.

2) Form your service as a Limited Liability Corporation that has no assets.
IANAL, but my 'L' told me that this will not hold up in court. To form an LLC you must put some assets into the company, otherwise it is just a shell to protect you. The court will see right though this and allow the plantif to go after you directly.
The Site is/.ed so I could not read the article, but I would suggest that after you finish with the work, get your client to sign off that s/he is satisfied with the work. That will not help with getting sued (any one can sue you for any reason), but it might speed the process up a little to get the case dropped. Again, IANAL
Wouldn't you need some sort of interpreter for asp running on the linksys box (assuming that you mean active server pages by asp)? I don't think being able to run a shell though the web server on the WAP would be that easly to do.
I do think that unpacking the cramfs file system would be interesteing. You probably can get a real good idea of just what tricks linksys has up its sleeves for running the unit.
Believe it or not, OxyClean works every bit as well as chlorine bleach, without as much of the fading of fabrics and colors. I've used it to clean out coolers, unsightly stains on clothes, and many other things.
I use a similar product to clean my beer bottles. It is an oxidizing cleaning agent. It is not a good idea to have left over chlorine on/in your bottle when you are bottling beer. The stuff works pretty well.
Resale value only matters if you own the home. If you're renting,
screw that: drape the cables over the curtainrods and duct tape them
to the tops of the doorways.
Well, by definition, there is no resale if you rent. And on the otherhand, as a landlord, I prefer not to have duct tape no the walls, thank you very much:-0

I think that the screen writers typicaly cannot adapt the story with out butchering it. That happens more often then not. I will read a book before seeing the movie, otherwise I never want to read the book. Movies typicaly are geared for the lowest common denominator, and I get the feeling that the lowest common demoninator does not understand subtle plot development.

That was one frightning book! I normaly do not like horror, but this book was really good... I like his work in general too. It also read like a horror flick. I could picure the movie in my mind. I will not be surprised when some movie studio latches on to it. Lots of room for cool special effects.
True. But this means that the court should do something along the lines of squashing that version of Java, not promoting the "real" one.
The court was doing something about squashing that version of java. The court forced MS to ship the real Java to undo the damage that MS did with thier fake windows only version of "java".
However, by now the damage should have been undone, and the market should have adapted, so this is a real big *yawn* story. Yeah, MS "won" this round, but the previous ruling did the damage to MS already.
There's 3 types of lightning: Cloud to ground, ground to cloud, and cloud to cloud. I guess you can figure out which has the positive and negative charge if, as stated above, charge flows from - to +.
