To add along with the downturn in the economy, many that already have a GPS may be finding that upgrading to a newer model or even just updating to newer maps isn't worth the extra expense. Most areas don't that that many new roads that yearly updates are a necessity I think.
Q: So what have I bought when I buy something from iTunes? A: You have bought a non-transferable, non-perpetual, revocable license of the electronic bit representation of a physical recording that doesn't actually exist.
Obviously it's going to depend on what the original source is as to if the quality is like the original, "good enough", or crap. If someone downloaded Transformers-CAM.mpg and was expecting Bluray quality, they are delusional. If they download Transformers-DVDrip.divx, it's going to probably be pretty high quality unless they screwed up the encoding. If it's Transformers-DVDRip.iso, it's probably bit-perfect if it hadn't been shrunk to fit on a DVD-R.
The same thing applies to MP3s, just that it's even easier/quicker to rip/encode CDs at a very high quality.
I can testify to that. My car is right around 4 seconds 0-60. I can jump ahead of just about anyone up through about 120mph. Pushing through 140, it's pushing. I've only accelerated just through 150, but ran out of road. A lot of the high speed numbers are worthless, because they'll never be reached.
You don't buy a $2.1m car that can go 245MPH to actually go 245MPH. You buy it to brag that you can buy a $2.1m car that can go 245MPH.
I think that was just a poorly worded maintenance. I believe what they are trying to say is that it has blocked 8 million distinct malware and phishing scams, and they are on target to block 1 million attempts to reach one of those 8 million distinct scams a day.
Both versions of SCO can use the same trademarked name of "SCO" without infringing on one another. Not only is similarities of the mark considered, but also the industry that the mark is used in. SCO the operating system company works in the computer industry. SCO the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a intergovernmental mutual-security organization similar to NATO between Russia, China, and a few other *stans. There wouldn't be a whole lot of confusion between the two marks.
If a company is an Enterprise customer, why would they not want to be covered under an enterprise or other volume licensing agreement with software assurance? If they already decided to drink the Microsoft kool-aid, they are fricking idiots for not pouring a big old glass of it and getting the most out of it. As long as you keep drinking, it's not that much more expensive and could actually be cheaper in the long run then paying "retail" during an OS version cycle. Plus it can simplify licensing tracking across the enterprise.
What does the D stand for in MSDN again? That's right, Developer. Which is also the only environment that a MSDN server license is allowed to be used in.
If your software license rep doesn't know about software assurance, run, don't walk to someone else. Any authorized Microsoft license rep that manages Open, Open Value, Select, or Enterprise Licensing should know about software assurance.
No she wasn't charged $2000. She asked Maine's DEP how to clean up the mess and they said to contact a haz-mat cleanup contractor which they admit was overkill. She was given a quote of $2000 reportedly and she declined their services. Maine DEP stopped out twice, the first time there was only a detectable mercury level that would require any action within about a 8" radius of the initial spill. This is when the DEP mentioned a cleanup contractor. On a subsequent visit, there were no levels above 300ng/m^3, even over the spill site, the level where no additional cleanup is required.
Unless I'm not understanding the process completely, it looks like ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy calls for a one or three-person panel to hear the dispute. There are several approved organizations to provide the panelists but all charge a fee for the panel. For instance, WIPO's fee is minimum $1500 depending on number of domains and panelists involved. National Arbitration Form sets the minimum fee at $1300.
I don't know about how it works in the US, but in Denmark the members of parliament are not all lawyers. Some are (educated as) teachers, plumbers, farmers, electricians, liberal arts and other assorted trades.
There aren't too many plumbers in Washington. If there were, I would have expected a lot of the shit plugging up the system to have gotten flushed out by now.
A lot of times it's not just for pain, but for anxiety. Some people have a phobia of going to the dentist. My wife was one of them. Last year she had to have a root canal performed among several other dental procedures. A cleaning alone was barely able to complete, but no way was a root canal going to be performed without some additional help. I don't remember what exactly the meds were, but I believe it was a generic derivative of Valium. Took one the night before to allow her to sleep, then another as we were leaving to go the office the morning of the procedure. The procedure itself still used a local though.
How exactly is this a patent troll? It seems to me that Toshiba retains the rights to patents legitimately obtained for actual innovation and have long been known about and licensed to others. Toshiba isn't holding the patents for ransom with outrageous licensing terms, submarining them, or keeping them a secret until after a standard was ratified and then springing them. I'd say that for a system that has all sorts of flaws and issues, this is a legitimate case where the system is working as it was intended in a legitimate fashion.
1. I don't believe so. 2. Yes, you just have to approve it's use, not all that much different then most web browsers 3. I'm not familiar with thunderbird so I can't say. Accounts are kept seperately but all accessible from the current user 4. I don't believe the stock IM app does, but there are numerous other IM apps available and I would be very surprised if at least one of them didn't offer it 5. Don't know
I could care less if I make a.99 credit card payment. I can type in my card number and expiration date about as fast as I can my username and password for some sites. The site that I'm making the payment to doesn't want me to make a.99 payment. Of that, $.25 to $.45 of that they lose right off the top just in processor fees. THAT is the problem with micropayments.
That would have been worth, like, a billion dollars in VC play money back before the bubble burst...
You actually aren't too far off. Excite@Home paid $780m for Blue Mountain eCards a decade ago. Turned out to be a pretty good investment for the @Home service and should be right up SCO's alley.
Thanks for linking to the original video. I hadn't seen or heard that in a while. Kind of ironic how you lecture Larry about what fair use guidelines are (notwithstanding whether you are or are not correct), but you have directly referenced the work in it's entirety that would have even less going towards it regarding fair use. While I understand that you probably didn't post the video, don't you find what you did a little bit hypocritical at some level?
Sounds like these guys are just being exploited by their own egos.
Says the person with a +5 Informative comment. Why did you post something that might be so informative to others? I bet it was your ego that made you post.
A few years ago I was made a MVM (Much Valued Member) over a DSLReports.com/BroadbandReports.com for my contributions to several of the forums I frequented. I'm approaching close to 9k posts there, a high majority of them in response to other peoples technical questions. I never have received any compensation for my time spend on the site other then a little tag that shows up next to my name and the occasional kudos someone might send. It did give me a big of a "warm fuzzy" when I learned that I became a MVM, and it is appreciated when someone says "Thanks, you helped me out" or "Thanks for the explanation".
I guess you can call it ego, but I'd say it's just people that want to help others and have the time to do so. If that help turns into a power trip though, then it become egotistical.

I'm not sure what I was thinking, but that was suppose to read "poorly worded sentence".

No, I don't believe you are wrong.

Right. Because Google really needed YouTube to drive people to their search.
