If a line enters your house, regardless of whether or not you have service on it, you can call 911. This is what the 25 cents we all pay for is, to make 911 work from any phone, anywhere, without restriction. Its a good thing that they are regulating it, it means that they are considering this a real option for phones. It also means that the VOIP companies will have access to the 911 taxes and the cost will likely go down to the end user, not up. The problem is a technical one, how do you determine a caller's location. IP addresses can be located but not with that much accuracy, just to the last ISP. The easiest implementation would be for the end user to declare their whereabouts, not perfect but it would probably satisfy the govt without us having to get our tin foil hats out of storage.
as i understand it, they would have to spoof to someone who you know, a virus could easily do that (after it has your address book) but not so much for spam.
It's not useless at all. He just got national fame thx to/. Now he will be able to build the site he wants if he has the guts to do so, likly could even get sponsers.
not so much replying to the comment as to the sig. I would hate to have edit to posts.
Someone posts: Would you really like to see a ditro grandma can use?
I say: Yea, I'd like to see it, and im sure other's would too. And I know my grandma wants it.
Someone edits so now reads: I like to run naked on the weekends. I'm hung like a horse, you wanna see?
117 years of law be damned? Even if this is the true origins I feel that we can move on to laws and cases passed in the last century. It is an organizational structure. That is all. You will have a hard time finding a union, church, or government which is NOT a corporation. If a union has a protected union bank account, a congregation owns a church building, or a city owns a city hall, they did so through the laws established for corporations. Defining it as a person is what allows it to own property, stock, money, and conduct its own business apart from a single persons interest. What kind of situation would we be in if the treasurer of a union actually personally owned all of the money in the union account? Where would we be if the pastor of a church personally owned the property where the people meet? In the case of small corps it is true that it is more difficult to hold officers responsible. However, regardless of size, why does a person awarded a lawsuit from a company have the right to take everything from an individual who was working in the best interest of their company. The only logical answer is there was something which this officer personally did to wrong this person (in which case you should have sued the officer) or a law was broken (in which case the courts will bridge the gap for you). The difference wasn't drawn when you filed the paperwork, the difference was drawn when you choose to let the wealth of the company stay there rather than paying your personal house payments. A DBA is a fake name to make personal money under, a corporation is a real company who keeps its money.
corporation
n. an organization formed with state governmental approval to act as an artificial person to carry on business (or other activities) (dictionary.law.com)
I assure you it is considered equivalent to a person and is treated as such.
I have no knowledge on the "ONE" case to which you refer, I have never heard of this history before, I would love to read it if you have any ability to find it.
What you say about the differentiation of liability is true to a point. This is a common misconception which people have. If the corporation is found to have done nothing illegal then it is true that the liability of the company can not propagate to its management. Having said that, all corporations are required to keep a list of officers with they state and in the case they are found to have done something illegal, those responsible for the actions of the company are liable for it. So, first let me remind you that a corporation has no "owner" only officer(s). If the officer was the one who wronged you, you should have sued the officer, not the company for whom he works. If the company was the one who wronged you, you do not deserver to bankrupt the officer. If, in the unlikely case, they both wronged you, you should sue them both. If the corporation hid its money by calling it the officer's when it really was the corporations, he has committed fraud and you can receive the remainder of the settlement. This all sounds just to me. Where is the problem? The concept was inventented so a person doen not have to give up their personal life and put their family's welfare in danger because they want to run a business.
says who? I don't remember anything saying that the interests of a person are more important than the interests of the corporation which puts food on their table (which by the way is defined as "a legal person" and should be considered a person on its own accord).
"worst case it goes out... nobody is even ruined"
First, when a corp goes under usully everyone who was associated with it is hurt, many are ruined.
But consider three cases: 1. You work for someone else and they pay you, you buy a car, you drive it. 2. You run a sole proprietorship, they/you (one in the same) buy a car, you drive it. 3. You work for a corporation, they buy a car, you drive it.
Now, in all three cases, lets say the car is taken away. All three paths lead to a bus stop. You might be inclined to say in 1 and 2 it was an injustice because the car was yours. This is a matter of wording. The money you had came from the company or was joint property of you and the company, the only difference who wrote the check. You might be inclined to say that only 1 is an injustice and 2 and 3 don't matter because it was a companies. This is saying that working for yourself is a bad idea, you should choose to never run companies because companies deserve to suffer. I'll defer to all the private contractors for that one. You see, those that build companies and choose the corporate route rather than the proprietor route have the same vested interests as their counterparts. They walked the same road as someone who started their own business as a proprietorship only they got lawyers involved before the lawsuits came. If you hate them because they are successful, call it what it is... envy.
Corporation is a business structure.
Corporation is not a large company w/ lots of money.
There are plenty of individuals with millions.
There are plenty of one person corporations with nothing.
If you want to make a fair system, you can get caught up in the way which the company chooses to process their paychecks and pay their taxes.
You should be considering a fair system that protects those who are wronged regardless of how they choose to organize. In any case, the reason why we allow the system to run the way it does (capitalistically) is because there is no other fair way. Civil courts are meant to decide who is right. If party A feels they are right and party B feels they are right, you go to court (or arbitration) and have someone decide who is right. Would it really be fair to have whoever thought they were right but ended up losing foot the bill? Would it be fair to say whichever party is richer should pay? Would it be fair to say if you are the richer party and you were wrong then you pay? I mean, the current system does have the problem of adequate defense being too much for the middle class to poor. But remember two things, first, it's rare for anyone to sue the poor anyway, second, if we wanted to list how every system ends up favoring those with money, we will need alot more bits.
And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and
guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy." - Arlo Guthrie(Alice's Restaurant)
Perhaps this is the next ploy by the RIAA. Make the P2P diluted w/ crap and people will stop using them. An ingenious plan, free deployment, cross-platform, and at the end you can blame the market itself for the downfall.
Yes, it was a typo, and even worse a typo done twice. I thought it was kind of funny when I read it myself. I'll spell check this one. In any case, The purpose of ATM is to act as multi-layer (on the OSI) solution to bring different forms of connecting together (notably synchronous and asynchronous).

ATM
DSL is a form of ATM. I don't know if I would call that a "dud". I agree that we were hoping to move all forms of notworking to ATM and that didn't pan out, but still is one of the widest forms of notworking currently in use.
I should have been more clear before. I do not believe that (normal) men have a different number of ribs than (normal) women. Nor do I believe that the Bible states otherwise. Nor do I believe that when a man has a rib removed that this would somehow (unlike all other surgeries) be a trait passed on to his offspring. I am not tiring to defend the Exploratorium in the way that they have passed on bad information. My point is that a single case of misinformation isn't reason to condemn an institution. This was possibly anti-science in that facts were not checked thoroughly. I don't see how this is anti-mind, and I'm not even sure if I understand what anti-human means. What I meant to say is that science and religion are not mutually exclusive. It seemed to me that your outrage wasn't because there was misinformation given out, but that this misinformation was likely based on some religious belief system. Would you have entered the same boycott if the Exploratorium had an exhibit stating that the nearest star was 8.4 light years (double the truth)?
My name's cavebear42, and I'm a caffeine addict. You see, I used to drink coke then I switched to Diet as that it has more caffeine and no calories. I currently drink 4-6 liters on the average day. If I haven't had one by 10AM, I get the splitting headaches, by 2PM I can't keep my hand steady enough to hold a screwdriver. When I realized it was a problem, I quit. A week of water and Aspirin (please note that most non-aspirin pain killers contain high amounts of caffeine) and it was all over. The problem then came from me not having the load of artificial energy, my friends all wanted to know why I seemed so down all the time (recommended counseling), my grades slipped, my boss told me that I was working too slow. Life was bad. Then I realized that caffeine is good. Sure, the $300/month soda budget kind of wears on you, but my quality of life makes up for any of the negatives. So as I crack a fresh one, Ethanms, I'll drink this one to you.
Did it say that this was from the garden of Eden or was that implied? Is it reasonable to not be interested in a science facility nor help children explore science because once there was an exhibit which merely suggested that there might me some basis in a story which has been told for at least 3,000 years? Maybe someone is a little insecure in their (lack of) beliefs.
Don't be silly. Prostitution is a crime. Just because you don't think she is hurting anyone doesn't change the state of laws. She clearly broke the law. She should plead guilty, pay her fine, and move on with life. If she feels the law is wrong, she can either continue to break it (and suffer the consequences) or she can lobby to have it changed.

I was offered a job working in the Altimont wind fields. The problem is that there are several carnivorous birds (birds of prey) getting caught up in the mills is due mainly to the ground squirrel population. This is prime hunting grounds for the birds. They spot the ground squirrel and dive in at high speeds just to find that there are windmills around. They wanted someone to walk around all day in the heat poisoning the fields and collecting the dead ground squirrels. Turns out that the problem is serious, not that a few stupid birds die but that they break the windmills hitting them at high speeds. Those things are expensive and run at practically no profit.
Apple has a habit of releasing at the Expo. Then the people at the expo order, well, all of 'em. Then it takes 6 months before they even start to have them again. The way I count it, this was released just in time for wide spread sales on Christmas... 2004. BTW, I saw one/.er guess at 1.5GB flash. Apple claims 10,000 songs on a 40GB, thats 250 songs/GB and 800 songs would be 3.2GB. If thats Flash, its the cheapest flash I've ever seen.
