Well who knows, maybe one day they put little nuclear reactors in the PDA. The fun will be when one day these battery packs explodes. (its only bound to happen).
Artcile previous on Slashdot about Batteries.
well you have the choices, of having the current standard, or you can have the more secure standard (which I am sure China can easily hack into) so I think the choice is clear, I am going to surrender all my files to china.
The BBC has an interesting article about the overflow created by e-mail. Where 31 billion e-mails are sent every day, you think that systems might need to be updated to handle such volume (and help cut some unessary volume out)
a thousand robots at a thousand typewriters in a thousand years could reproduce the works of Shakespeare, but now its just a lot quicker to pull it up.
Well that is where the fun comes in. Because the FCC rules are enforced by the US Marshalls, so it be amusing to see them go to the movie theater and bust some heads.
While it is clearly illegal to jam the signal their is nothing against constructing buildings that jams the signal by just the nature of how the radio signal travels through the building.
The operation of transmitters designed to jam or block wireless communications is a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"). See 47 U.S.C. Sections 301, 302a, 333. The Act prohibits any person from willfully or maliciously interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or authorized under the Act or operated by the U.S. government. 47 U.S.C. Section 333. The manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is prohibited. 47 U.S.C. Section 302a(b). Parties in violation of these provisions may be subject to the penalties set out in 47 U.S.C. Sections 501-510. Fines for a first offense can range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the U.S. government

we already have a partnership in space for building a space station... its called the international space station. But its funny how current political leaders are contemplating going to the moon and all, and make a permanent presence there, when we havent even finished out permanent presence above us. How about we finish what we started and then move on... otherwise something is doomed to fail.
I love how they charge us all a flat rate fee on our cell phone bills for 911 service. Its because they have to update their systems to meet FCC requirements for E-911, but the way I see it, is that I am being charged for trying to call for help. So the first time I see a telephone in a car accident, I will ask for the dollar they charge me on my cell phone bill before calling for help. And then charge him for the help i provided.
I'm not collecting a salary for my service (that would void me out of the good samaritan law), i am mearly getting a service fee for the training needed to help him.
Is there a difference?

Now I doubt that the companies intentionally make the mistakes in order to extract more money from the customer...
Now that being said, I think that the companies intentionally do make extra charges all around and hide them intricately in deals as they see there. It wasnt 800 minutes but 700 plus 100 minutes. Now no one in the world is going to ask about that. I know to ask about extra hidden charges, but no that.
I think that the companies then through the complication of such systems easily profit from mistakes related to calculating the charges and fees. And they are not going to do anything to fix such errors.
So the question remains by not doing anything is that the same as actually cheating the customer... This client says YES.
Use of spyware removal software may conflict with user license agreements of other applications installed on your system.
Because i know when i buy a computer there is a contract I sign that says I want it fully loaded with spyware. Now granted when the computer boots up sometimes there are user agreements that needed to be clicked, but I just have one of my siblings that are under 18 click agree to those. So How did i violate a license agreement?
ah but iTunes is diferent. the case on the DVD was that he needed to be able to play them on a non windows machine. With iTunes, you are entered into digital rights management which you agree to in order to use such service. And by hacking it you are violating such terms of the agreement.
yeah but wait till they start the lawsuits over the harm to their business by you not purchasing their music. Dont know what legal grounds they have for that... but i wouldnt put it past them.

My security is a big ax. Just try breaking into my computer, and I will HACK you.
Well you know Bush is going to get re-elected now.

Can we now hold them accountable for any problems, viruses, spyware, annoyances that use this?
well you have the choices, of having the current standard, or you can have the more secure standard (which I am sure China can easily hack into) so I think the choice is clear, I am going to surrender all my files to china.
I hope that their layoff comes with a nice deal, like maybe getting an AOL CD in the mail.

only problem is in the US these frequencies are not for broadcasting TV. 7Mhz is for Amateur radio frequencies. US Radio Frequency Allocations
80 Minutes? Obviously we just are not using enough power.
And neither does the FCC know if that is legal. This story talks about using buildings to block the signal
Well in 1999 a man in Germany was beaten to death with a beer bottle all because he was too loud with his cell phone. See beer can solve everything.
Although, according to a report out of Singapore - Drinking beer will not prevent SARS... So i guess it cant solve everything. I feel so disolutioned.
Well that is where the fun comes in. Because the FCC rules are enforced by the US Marshalls, so it be amusing to see them go to the movie theater and bust some heads.

Maybe he is trying to see if can induce the slashdot effect on slashdot itself.

I got 5 to 1 odds on the RIAA.
But even if they dont convict, he probably get brought to trial then on hacking iTunes.
Maybe I get lucky and the new law get named after me. I can see it now Medic's law.
