Actually, what they're probably looking for is a court ruling granting her immunity from prosecution by the RIAA/MPAA dudes. Or at least to prevent the RIAA from using the information obtained from Comcast as evidence in court, a far more likely ruling.
Ya, Comcast won't service me either (not like that you pervs). Some stupid cable company i've never heard of owns the south end of where I live (Whidbey Island), and they don't do digital cable.
Yes, this is offtopic, but I have a question... are you a whidbey islander? lol
Ok, dont get a political flameware started. Quite frankly im pissed off with everything became a redstate bluestate thing. we're ALL americans, no matter what state we're from, and no matter our political affiliation.
And where are the libertarian states?
Next time you bash someone, try and use the right county. I don't see what the non-existent Kent County has to do with King County....you really are supposed to be laughing now.
What do you mean a "far better online time"? You mean they dont get hacked as fast? Thats a laugh. You must be new to slashdot or something, cause in the last... year or so there have been AT LEAST 5 articles showing that a Windows machine gets hacked into in almost 1/0th the time as a Linux machine.
Just for the record, my home network file/database server has been up and running for 682 days, 4 hours, 32 minutes, and 7 seconds. Running Debian. Which is a linux distro.
This is true, however overall Linux is patched faster than Windows, and typically doesn't require a huge-ass download to fix. And better yet, if you do HAVE a good admin, he can patch the security holes himself most of the time, submit the patch to the creators of the software, and now everyone can be patched. In my mind\ that makes Linux ALOT more secure than Windows, and probably in the minds of most of these other admins as well.

Actually, its a quite speedy thing to do. the KDE project on linux has been doing this for quite some time now, and I've found the Explorer in WinXP actually lists files SLOWER than konqueror, even though it doesn't do previews of any files. Also, Konqueror displays the filetype icon first, then replaces said icons withe previews as it loads them. And, thanks to the thread scheduling and priority handling in Linux and other POSIX-compliant OS's, the thread that processes the threads is put on hold when another program/process needs the power its using.
Well, moneycentral.msn.com gives general advice about finances based on their hired experts. Google Answers lets people ask specific questions. I don't know. Ask Google's PR department.:-p
I meants googlebucks coffee. unless you want your briefs to be made of recycled coffee grinds.
That'd be great, coffee ground briefs. wash a load of them and drink coffee from the washing machine.
The "financial advice" is not provided by Google. Google instead provides a conduit to a appproved professionals thatget paid by the question to answer the needs. Not google providing the answers...
And Hello is not for the purpose of IM-ing/chat, its for sharing photos. Its entirely different from focusing on chatting, like YIM AIM ICQ Jabber MSN, etc
Because google is about innovation, not reinventing the wheel. The music industry has been bombarded with online sites to distribute music, and while yes I see where you would think Google would be "innovating" by allowing normal users to upload content, they're really looking for commercial content.
Well, it WAS just released, and it is in beta... although from goggle that doesnt mean much. Give them time, they need to hire people to do the verification, and they're probably being slashdotted with videos.
Give them time. If it were anyone else, you would expect at least 3 days for verification.
While it is a publicly owned company, i believe a majority of the stock is still owned by the founders, so really... they don't have to listen to the investors much at all.
Or is my understanding of the stock market just completely fucked?
Yes, it is a gutsy move. But that's really what Google specializes in. I mean look at GMail. Everyone thought it was a hoax cause it was so far out there (and the fact that it was released on April Fool's). But now most of the major email providers have followed suit, and Google recently bumped the storage up to 2GB (and climbing by the second).
If anyone could really pull this off it'd be Google. or Apple.
Perhaps the two should collaborate.

They have to have a name on the subpeona, so they'd have to rush off and get one made after getting her name. But ya, good point.
Yes, thank god. Because of this our justice system works very well, save the ridiculous suits like the SCO Vs. IBM fiasco.
"...so why would Comcast bend customers over like this?"
...you're suppose to laugh now.
Maybe after reading through her web access logs, and seeing all the porn, they thought she liked being spanked.
the thread manipulation and regulation in NT is far from being truly POSIX compliant. i know this from experience

Here's some python code for ya.
class Windows:
def __init__(self):
self.securitylevel = 0
def enhanceSecurity(self):
self.secuitylevel +=1
win32 = Windows()
win32.ehanceSecurity()
print win32.securitylevel
Make sense? Enhancing adds to it. Even if it started at 0.
Its working well as a storage room while i move into my seattle penthouse, thanks for asking.
Oh. Ok. Wow... thats sad.
Correction, if you're an admin and have a Windows box as a server, you shouldn't be an admin.

That wouldn't be competition. They don't have the same resources, users would have to host the content themselves, AND i don't see any payment method.
