The reason is called the Data Protection Act. An act which was created to protect citizens and their data that is being held about them.
A judge's personal info was put on a website, without his consent. The police are contacted, and a server was taken away to find out the poster.
Indymedia's role in removing the message is in reflection of the terms, but since a "crime" has taken place, the Police can have further powers.
This is similar to a physical Crime.
Suppose a murder was conducted in a building. The police have all the rights to shut down the said building, seize CCTV tapes, to investigate the murder. In normal cases though, the owner of the said building usually co-operates with the police, even though the owner is a third party.
Indymedia removed the post. But may have not co-operated with the police in a manner. AS such the servers were seized.
Put the boot on the other foot, and suppose it was YOUR details that was posted on a web site, with info inciting people to attack you. I am sure you would wish the same to happen to find the person who has posted such information.
Ok, I myself have a PS3, and i know many friends who have a PS3 (as well as some who have an Xbox360).
I have noticed that newer PS3s (without the PS2 hardware) DO tend to keep cooler. Mine was warm, but certainly not uncomfortably hot. And that is after switching the hard disk to a 120GB model, which admittedly runs hotter than the stock one.
However, no PS3s I have seen runs as hot as you describe, so I would strongly suggest to have it checked. Either dust has built up, or the onboard fan has failed.
In retro respects, the XBox360 DOES run significantly hotter than the PS3, however, not "Space heater" type hot. Newer ones are better, but somewhat a little more noisy.
So the reality is the PS3 is not ice cold, and the XBox360 is not as noisy or as hot as a jet engine. Those are just exaggerations. However, the XBox360 is noisier/warmer than the equivalent PS3.
Sorry, but you are both wrong and right in equal measures.
Sony does not MAKE Plasmas, they may SELL them (and only in certain markets), but they do NOT make them (usually made by third party OEMs with a Sony sticker on).
And, at least here in the UK, for the last year or so, they have stopped selling new Consumer Plasma TVs (only LCD, and OLED), and that is according to Sony's own web site.
Yes, I am aware that SOME shops advertise "Sony Plasma TVs", but either they are extremely old models, imports or just plain false advertising. For example, look at this model, advertised as a Sony Plasma
Unless of course you were going to spend 24x90 anyway. Its not like you get a reduced rate if you buy the equipment outright, so you might as well take the subsidies.
I hope the USA eventually catch up to Europe in this area too.
Here in the UK, T-Mobile does offer incentives for people NOT wishing to take up the subsidiaries.
For example they have a special offer on their Solo (Sim Only) tarrif, where you have 600 minuites of calls (Landlines and mobiles), unlimited included SMS in the UK to UK numbers, as well Internet (1GB per month limit), for £20 ($30) a month. There is no lengthy commitments, as the contract is a 30 day rolling contract (cancel at any time, but subject to a 30 day notice). And of course we don't pay to receive calls or sms/mms in the UK.
Those who are on an existing contract can on completion of their minimum term, elect to NOT upgrade their phone, and sign up for a discount of about £15 per month (12 month minimum period). on a contract of £30 per month, this leads to an effective tarriff of £15 per month.
And finally, when threatening to cancel, or move to another provider, they usually offer good deals to keep you on if you are a good customer, on a case by case basis.
up to and including the 80386 the Floating Point unit was a separate chip with the number 7 at the end instead of a 6 or 8.
the 8086 and 8088 had the 8087 FPU.
The 8088 which was a version of the 8086 with a 8 bit external data bus, instead of 16 bit, and was the actual processor the Original IBM PC and the XT was based on.. NOT the 8086 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC
the 80186/80188 had the 80187 FPU. the 80187 was a rarely used for PCs (IBM didnt use it) as it lacked full compatibility with the 8086 real mode addressing, but was used for some computers such as the RM Nimbus
The 80286 had the 80287 FPU or the 80287XL FPU (which was really a 80387sx with its extra instruction set).
the 80386sx (basically an 80386dx in a 80286 bus/packaging, to fit in 80286 motherboards) had the 80387sx.
the 80386 (full 32bit internal and external) had the 80387dx FPU coprocessor.
the 80486 was a pipelined evolution of the 80386 with 8kb of cache, and the 387 included. The 486sx was initially a normal 486 with the FPU (387) disabled. the 80487sx was actually a full 486, with a slightly different packaging (to prevent it being used instead of the slightly more expensive 486dx). when the 487sx was inserted into the socket of the motherboard, the existing 486sx chip was disabled, and the new chip "took over". Yes it was a bit of a con job. They did it again with the so called "Overdrive" processor.
Using a real-time collaboration tool such as Google Docs could increase costs by $700 per person per year, as people outside the office would need to use 3G data plans to view and edit the document online instead of updating at the next Wi-Fi hotspot.
You are incorrect.
You CAN do that with Google Docs too. Install Google Gears (built into chrome) and you will be able to offline access Google Docs (without a internet connection) and when you have a connection again (such as at a WiFi access point), it will re-sync with the server. try it....
though, you have to "remember" to press "i" for insert, or "a" for append first, after which it does "almost" meet the same criteria!
But imagine a first time user of Vi (like myself in 1995) faced with THAT challenge!
Don't get me wrong, I use vi now a LOT as it just works, but back then............... coming from notepad/edit.com/etc.. it was a brick wall...
And as for ed, and edlin. I agree that real men use the command line. I also agree that ed may have its uses (such as trying to edit a known file when the screen is hosed), but using it for day to day use, I cannot imagine how it can possibly be more productive.
Not really, because price is not necessarily going to stop a person from getting a song. People are willing to pay more for certain songs as the market demands, and selling some songs at less, will generate more sales of those.
Removing DRM is a big thing. Overall I dont think it woudl make any difference in sales, and may even increase sales overall, as that is what the trends are.
I hate to make this post sound like a "me too" of lore, but I do agree. Vista (especially the 64 bit version) is pretty good, for what it is, a general purpose entertainment OS.
For my work PC I use a customized version of Ubuntu (with a WMWARE version of WindowsXP). IT works well for my development work. I dont need windows there.
I use Vista-64 on my home computer (which DOES have a dual boot with Ubuntu), and Windows XP on my laptop (which also dual boots with Ubuntu). I use OpenOffice, GIMP, Firefox etc across the board.
Its not bad for what it is, especially running games.
I am not concerned about lack of 16 bit support in Vista 64. If i REALLY need to run a 16 bit program, I am sure my laptop will handle it fine.
The 64bit kernal is very stable, and is noticeably faster than the 32bit version.
I don't like DRM, but I don't handle DRM files either.
So those putting down Vista for everything. Well I am not a MS supporter, however: a) you can dual boot b) Vista can be configured to be more secure c) so what if its defaults are crap, it doesn't affect you. d) the more broken installations = more revenue for you to fix it (Geeks have to eat too) e) We have Linux/Solaris/etc for more Serious work.
You will find the most probable reason why Scandinavia, have such low murder rates, etc, is simply because they are much more tolerant to others. I have visited Sweden, and have been totally impressed by the way they are so friendly, peaceful, and genuinely try to talk out of problems that take to mindless fights.
I have lived in the UK for all my life, and I see the tolerance levels are dropping steeply, as people become more selfish, and regress into a "me me" society.
Although I am a Hindu, I have lived in the UK all my life, and I see the swastika as an "evil" symbol because of the actions of a madman in Berlin over 60 years ago.
In India though, the symbol is revered, as it is a Symbol of peace, tolerance, and welcoming.
Its really sad, as some countries such as Germany and France ban the Swastika. They do allow exception to Hindus as a religious symbol, but its very difficult to use it still. A hindu would offer the symbol as a welcome to all, but if it still gives the wrong impression to a normal person receiving it, its no point using it.
There is a grassroots campaign by some Hindus (and Jains, as well as other Dharmic Faiths) to reclaim the Swatika back to where it belongs, and restore its original meaning, but I think it will not be easy.
Read again _carefully_ what the Grandparent wrote.
i actually have seen albums that have an m4p (itunes DRM'd AAC) file
the m4p (as opposed to mp4) is the DRM version of a file. Standard (non DRM) AACs have an.mp4 ext (or a slightly incorrect.m4a if bought as iTunes Plus non DRM file)
Buying the CD, then "cracking" the DRM, may land you a lawsuit, however may be un-winnable for the RIAA or copyright holders.
Downloading off a torrent, and landing yourself a lawsuit is a sure win for the copyright holders.
The former is "unauthorised removal of CopyProtection mechanism, in order to play your purchased item" (note this is different to "Unauthorised removal of copyright protection to copy and re-distribute")
The latter is "Copyright Infringement".
Both are illegal, but one has a chance of being winnable, IF you REALLY need the Song.
The G1, like all HTC devices, have this weird USB mini connector(called the EUSB), with a strange shape.
The rason is that it is actually a dual sided connector, with one side for the USB/Charging and the other side for the headphones.
You can connect ANY normal USB cable to the connector, data or Power (I use a motorola charger with my G1). they will only connect their pins to the USB side..
The proprietry HEADPHONE can only connect to an EUSB, to prevent it from being connected to a normal USB mini port.
WHy have HTC done this? speaking to a HTC employee, I got the following answers.
a) a USB port is stronger mechanically to a 3.5mm jack. in a phone use (people suddenly yanking the device out of the pocket when it rings) causes higher stress on the jack than normal, therefore using a USB port as a headphone delivery system lends to a robust connector, and less returns (adapters are available)
b) Motorola uses a usb type headset, which use the standard pins to deliver analogue sound. However, HTC found that humans, being the curious beings they are, like to try and insert the headphones into devices they are not supposed to mate with, causing damage. The proprietry socket prevents this.
c) earlier (pre 6.1) versions Windows Mobile had certain limitations with its sound device handling. If you were to fit a 3.5mm jack and insert a normal pair of headphones into the jack, the software would be unable to use the headphones as a output, and the built in mic as an input (which is a different channel), causing all sorts of issues. by using a ESB adapter, at least the adaptor can be made to have a normal mic (and switch)
Not all HTC phones use the EUSB connector. the SonyEricsson Xperia (also manufacured by HTC) uses a 3.5mm jack, so has a normal USB connector.
The hardware actually HAS mutitouch support. This is proven because the UI doesn't go all wonkey when two fingers are used, like other single touch devices, it will "choose" one of the touches, and respond to that, ignoring the other.
Its just due to the silly patent, they cannot make use of the hardware in the software.
And I dont think Google will battle Apple, they have a nice arrangement for Maps etc, on the iphone, and Eric Schmitt is on Apple's board.
On the other hand, 'expensive as hell' is not that much when compared to the cost of getting a pound of stuff from Earth to Mars - so if it allows us to use the rover twice as long
These rovers were only made to last 90 days. AS far as anyone is concerned, they have ALREADY lasted nearly 20 times longer than they were supposed to last (1760 days versus 90).
So it would not be unreasonable to assume that maybe just maybe, if there was a choice of paying X for a part that lasts 1 year, or 100X for a part that lasts ten years, they would choose to get the 1 year part.
To be fair, these things were only supposed to last for 90 days. I do not think, looking back at the original remit of the project, that anyone truly expected them to last THIS long, nor travel so far.
So great credit to the engineers for making the rovers last so long already.
As a Brit, obviously i "was" disappointed at the time with the loss of Beagle 2. But the success of NASA's wonderful landers have more than made up for it. The huge contribution to science and learning, in this time when all other news is about the Credit Crunch and global meltdown.
As a kid at school, I always admired America, specifically NASA, watching the space shuttles, Rockets, Apollo, etc. When Challenger exploded, it was at the time a horrific and sad sight for a young child to watch. IT was sad to see the loss of lives, and the loss of a beautiful craft.
Later on, when Columbia disintegrated on re-entry, it hit me personally for ever since I started my love of space I have seen "The old faithful" launch, do its mission, and land safety bringing back the astronauts. I always expect it would be around for ever, and when retired housed, in a museum somewhere. The loss of the craft was as sad as the huge loss of the human life.
I hated the idiots who actually celebrated.
But the fact is, NASA is usually more successful than not in their missions, and this particular mission far exceed most peoples expectations. 5 years, for a 90 day lander is impressive, and has achieved a lot of scientific goals.

Except that on the only Andriod phone released so far.... You can't.
Citation please!
I HAVE the Android G1 phone, and guess what....
you CAN install apps from sources other than the Android market.....
Please find facts, before opening your trap.
Citation needed.... Who says you can download apps to the device other than through Google's marketplace?
I HAVE an android (G1) phone, and i CAN install applications from sources other than Android Market.
I have done it (an SSH client) and it works fine.
Wrong, the G1 has the same type of capacitative glass touch screen as the iphone. there is NO stylus for the G1, nor option of getting one.
