the ipone 4 is 137 grams, the N900 you claim is 181 grams, thats 44 grams lighter, for referance, thats ~9 nickles. something sure, but my 5310-xpressmusic is 71 grams(66 grams lighter than a Iphone. No I doesn't have "apps", but it plays music and browses the web(well about as much of it as apple does), plays videos, and most importantly makes phone calls. The 5310 does use microSD, has a replaceable battery and a standard USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack.
and my free nokia phone[1] is rather smart already. It has 2g internet access, a music player, a video player, a clock, a stop watch, a note taking app, a calendar, uses uSD cards, has bluetooth 2.X, it's smaller and lighter than a iphone as well. It does pretty much everything i want, except control MPD on my server so i can change the music in the house from it. Would i like a iphone 4, sure something like it anyways, or even it, running andriod. I must admit the iphone 4 looks decent from a hardware perspective.
At most they should want the amount equal to their real liability
Yep, so ruined gulf fishing for years, clean up costs, loss of taxes paid on that oil(if they don't need to pay taxes on it), some extra in there for hardship(remember there are family incomes riding on it being cleaned up right and quickly), some more for any loss of marine life(it has a worth), some huge number if something goes extinct because of the spill. Yep looks near the worth of BP. They wouldn't be in this predicament of they had done it right. Yes yes, i know i know, not all problems are foreseeable, but from what i have heard the rig was having issues earlier and they were fairly sure their valve was bad.
yep i copied it all right, to my harddrive to stream to my ps3 in my living room. They have not been released to the public, and i own >95% of the content of my movies folder. 4% of it is friends/family owned stuff. leaving just around 1% of "bootleg" stuff.
Still worth 2250/movie?
For the record around 1/3 of my music collection is from an ex girlfriends collection that I ripped. Some of which I actually bought and paid for and gave to her, where she then let me rip the CD later. Others of it is from official Youtube pages or sites, where I grabbed the stream and saved it. To be honest I could just pull them up again, but no one has written a music player that will let me shuffle them into my normal collection, and again, my PS3 doesn't do that either. I know I know, page views, if you would like I could write a script to go and fetch those sites with chrome 2-3x a day, so it would look like views.
I don't know, I think I'd take 3 months in jail over a 675k or even a 67.5k "fine". Seems like I would need to be making over 240k/year for it to be more expensive(overall), and thats just the 67.5k award, or 2.7million/year for the larger award.
I would argue against the 3 month sentence, as i can drive home drunk, physically endangering hundreds of people and get far less than that for a first time offense.Maximum penalty for a first time offender with no aggravating factors, with no priors, is 30 days and/or $1000, and goes up to 3000 and 1 year for two+ aggravating factors, in the state of Minnesota[1]. So yes, sharing 24 songs a few hundred times, for no commercial gain, seems to me to be less of an issue than driving with a.19 BAC by yourself home from the bar. Think of how many traffic lights are between your bar, and home. How well could you drive with a.19BAC(0.08BAC is the limit in Minnesota). Now i'm not saying that driving below.08 is legal, it's just a DUI instead of a DWI[1]. Your second offense in 10 years is 2 days in jail/workhose and 8hours community service per day less than 30 days in jail[2].
So yes, a basicly harmless act(at most a few hundred dollars of losses, counting the cost of each album shared* number of times shared to a unique computer), is getting someone a 67.5K fine, but no jail time, and no community service. You would need to pay back around 7k a year to pay it off, with interest, in ten years.
Not stating that drunk driving is good, to be honest I think the penalties aren't harsh enough, but then if you take away a license to drive in the USA you really have no other option. Go us not wanting to pay for anything that someone else might use.
You are doing the same as I am. Been using netflix + ps3 + OTA DTV converter box, for around 2 years now. I really have no idea what commercials are like anymore. I was at a friends house recently, and was amazed by the stupid commercials trying to sell me stuff(mostly stuff I already know about, burger king, coke, pepsi, etc) like some loud annyoin gad, with a guy snowboarding down a pepsi avalanche, and then ending it with "YA DUDE!, BUY A PEPSI"
... and few drives can steadily saturate a USB2 link at all.... </quote>
Really? i get 130MB/sec(output from dd; "1024000000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 7.88258 s, 130 MB/s") reads from my 1TB Seagate barracuda, wikipedia says max transfer of USB2 is 50MiB/sec looks like about half of what my drive can do, i've done this over 10GB, and 50GB transfers and it never gets below 100MB/s, so your USB2 is still to slow, and yes my drive can saturate it.
But lets say something needs port 11234 open in both directions to work*, a sys admin that knows about the flaw(before the fix is out) can make some attempts to limit his exposure to the flaw. Without that info in the wild he things he's safe and all is well while he gets back doored.... Some of these flaws have way to limit or remove exposure to them while the vendor is producing a fix. You may be able to disable a feature, firewall off the machines that need o run it, block all connection attempts on a port with a payload that matches "foobar". Making sure people know that helps lessen the problem while the fix is getting out. Also it does apply pressure on the vendor to fix it fast as all of the people with support contracts are bugging them for a fix for "the foobar bug" There have been few bugs that can't be band-aided recently discovered, so the harm is really only to the people that don't follow security in the first place(home users that put their birthday pin and mothers maiden name into any form they see on the internet.).
*Bad example i know as all ports not known to be doing something useful should be blocked in both directions, but you get the idea.
iPhone 1 went on sale June 29, 2007. The damn thing is only 3 years old. I expect 10 years, or until it no longer runs, pesky thing about solid state gear is that it tends to run for a long long time. I guess 5 years would be more correct for a cell phone, but less than 4 on a $500 device is insane. 20 years is about right for a car, at least IMO.
then skip the compress(and rar) and just use a small bash script and dd. no slower than writing it over USB anyways.... 80GB over USB2 must be painful.
but 144k(max) of them world wide wouldn't be all that odd, and I would have to expect to see a much smaller number of them, people not piloting a vehicle getting chosen, think 71k accidents in one day would be noticed?
how many "john smiths" live in this country? how many have a particular SSN? Yep thats why we need some sort of government number, it has nothing to do with repressing us, but you try to keep the 700 john smith's taxes correct on the governments end without them. Simply names are not unique enough, nor stable enough.
not to mention the right to have your loved one make medical decisions, show up at the hospital, file joint taxes, get family insurance, all sorts of other everyday things straight couples do.
And now to temper this back to 0, you also have the right to live in a poorly decorated place, they don't. jk.
work for hire, they transfer the copyright when you buy them. So not your own work but you do get to own the paper. HOw is this different than EMI/WMG?
depending on your state they may not even need to do that. MN is an "at will" employment state, that means on monday when you get there you can find you can't log in to your computer followed by the HR girl showing you the door, with no more than "We regret to inform you that you are no longer employed by ACME."

WD's RE drives are nothing more than the normal drives with a different timing oh how long they take to respond on a bad block.
Do 2.5" drives need 12V power, or just 5V? and how many amps?
it being spherical has some advantages, namely less surface area to loose heat though. If it keeps my coffee hot 3 minutes longer i say it's a win!.
