There's nothing wrong with using PIs. When a company uses PIs to gain telephone records of their board of director under false pretenses/false IDs, there is something wrong with that.
Yeah. It's called the off road package. If you want a bare minimum vehicle, go with a stripped down Cavalier. If you want to upgrade to all sorts of luxury features, you are going to have to pay more to get a Cadillac.
a single user rootkitting a Sony server would never get away with only a $150 fee. Well, you probably could get more money back by firing the admin that was playing a CD on a server.
That's a bad analogy because what would be crimes in the US were committed in a foreign country where it was legal. In the case here the crimes they are being accused of were illegal in the US and involved US citizens. They wouldn't have been arrested if it was only British residents that they conducted business with. A better comparison would be if a Dutch company sold pot or alcohol to a US resident and shipped it over here. That person would be liable for US laws if they ever entered the country.
However, if you look at the a.b.p.e groups, how much of the content (spam, or obvious ads excluded) falls in that category ? 5% maybe ?
I don't know how much of it is. It's hard to tell. Many times it's a series from the same shoot and the site's logo is somewhere on the picture. If it was someone who was posting the site's contents, you'd think that there would be more (such as a site rip), but usually it's just a few shoots. That's why I would have presumed that it was more the content owners posting as "teasers" to get you to come to the site for more.
From this I would also exclude people to repost the same pictures later. Yes technically they are copyright infringement. But I compare it to people who find a commercial funny and submit it to youtube. It's free advertising.
However, there's one photo missing: one of these days, he'll have to sell that house. I want a picture of the real estate agent's face when they see that room!
"Captain, property values have slowed to impulse power."
From the looks of it, an overwhelming amount of the decorations are essentially veneered to the walls or otherwise easily moved. Those that aren't would probably take some sheetrock work or basic carpentry but would otherwise be easily changed. A coat of paint and the above changes and the room would look totally different.
I'm sure they care as they are a backer of HD-DVD. However I don't think they care in the manner that they are responsible for the success of HD-DVD. If HD-DVD used WMV DRM/encryption for instance, then I can see them caring.
Actually, there's as much wrong getting pr0n that way as there is getting music that way. It remains evil copyright infringement by horny Internet pirates whichever way you look at it (except for the home made stuff I guess).
Depends on what you are getting. If you are getting Hustler's Hot Honneies Volume 27 DVD Rip, then yeah it's copyright infringement. But many sites "advertise" by releasing still or short clips from there site onto Usenet/BitTorrent/et al. Then it's legal distribution.
Doom9.com: "Hello Microsoft. We are a domain squatter. We have no idea what you are talking about. Besides. We run Linux."
Microsoft: "Crap. We sued the wrong company. Refile for doom9.NET"
Doom9.net: "Go fly a kite. We run Linux as well so you have no authorization to do an 'audit'. And go fuck yourself with the DMCA. US laws don't apply in England."
Microsoft: "Shit. Wait. Why the hell do we care if HD DVD are cracked. That's the MPAA's problem."
It depends on what the "backup" is for. If it's for disaster recovery, then you are right. But if it was a on-line backup in case of an "Oh shit I didn't mean to delete that" type of thing, then dual partitions can make sense.
No the are not required to answer truthfully, but there is a line that they can cross. Police are generally allowed to use deceptive techniques to obtain information or to obtain a confession from a suspect, but the deception needs to be limited. An undercover narcotics officer can lie that he isn't a cop to protect his identity or a detective could tell a suspect that his partner in crime already confessed and it would be easier on them both of they both confessed together. However the police can go to far. There was a case in Kentucky where a trooper knocked on a guys door at 4AM saying that the guys roommate was accused of rape and they needed to verify the accuser's description of the room. The guy let them in but there had been no rape. The police used the rape as a way to perform a search for drugs in the house. The state Supreme Court later found that the trooper's actions had gone too far because search permission can not be coerced.
Plus, all media must be protected...even, and especially, the shitty stuff like this. I usually agree with statements like this. However I'm also a firm believer that a private store (in the sense it's not government owned/controlled) also has the right to decide what they do and don't want to sell. The publisher of the game would be free to continue to sell their game somewhere else, just not at Wal-Mart if the people fighting this get their way. Let the market decide if it wants to support such a game.
I would compare it to magazines like Playboy or Penthosue. Wal-Mart doesn't sell those, but they are still available elsewhere.
In some species I'm sure that is the case. In many many many more though they need significant help, from something, in order to survive. I know I wasn't born with all the tools I needed to survive, and I'm going to guess you weren't either.
Bullet #2 already is pretty much the case now anyways. If you have been following IBM vs. SCO, IBM had to turn over their CMVC system to allow SCO to inspect code. IBM had to provide a server as well as basic instructions on how to use it, sign in, etc. Just handing them a CD or DVD of all the data and saying "Here, it's in a obsecure binary format, figure it out on your own" doesn't meet discovery requirements. You don't have to make the other side understand every detail of the technology, you do need to assist in letting them retrieve information though.
The network adapter wasn't launched until after the XBox, with it's included network adapter, was available. Sony needed to compete or lose significant sales due to a lack of online gaming so they came out with the network/modem adapter in 2002.
In related news, Microsoft has announced that they will have BluRay players for the XBox360 available approximately 1 week after the launch of the PS3. Up to 200,000 may be available for sale.
But from the article: Price: DSLR cameras are practically affordable nowadays. The big two (Canon and Nikon) currently offer DSLRs for as low as $500-$600. I challenge you to find a good non-DSLR camera for under $600. Oh wait. Just about every non-DSLR camera is under $600. Nevermind.
Well it's obvious that Google.cn just hasn't had the opportunity to index the entire internet. You know that the internet is a pretty big place and Google.cn is still fairly new. Give it 10-15 years and check again.
In a past life when I worked at Blockbuster Video we could routinely "rent" movies and video games before they were officially released. It encouraged the staff to be knowledgable on new releases in case we were asked. If indeed he was playing the game, and based on his very high gamescore, it may not be out of the possibility that he could work someplace where they get advanced access to a game.

No. That would be silly. But once rigor starts setting in, spraying the joints with WD-40 will make them movable again.

Apparently KFC never heard of Maxim's giant magazine cover of Eva Longoria.
