This new chipset might very-well prevent people from recording shows on VCRs - which is allowed per the beta-max ruling that happend over twenty years ago.
IIRC the beta-max ruling applies to recording shows onto dvd (just another medium...hell some people don't even have VCRs anymore - just DVRs and the like).
I hope the judge lays the smack down.
I also find it disconcerting that it has been mentioned that advocate groups cannot contest FCC rules...since when can't the public contest a law/rule by a gov't agency...last I heard gov't agencies (i.e. FCC) work for us.
Thats nothing, I have detected dark matter galaxies all the time. If you want I can send you a picture of another constellation...I will even draw an arbitrary circle near by it. I promise it has a dark matter galaxy. If you want I could license the galaxy to you.
Thats not a complete answer, however. A 30 year old can't sleep with a 14 year old (unless married). If the person is under 18, the older person can be no more then 4 years her senior. So a 14 year old can sleep with an 18 year old, but not a 19 year old.
Age of consent, in the US changes from state to state and what kind of sex (male-male, male-female, female-female). Male-male sex in New Mexico is consented at age 13!!!! Check out Age of Consent
Not true. Lets say the bid is at $100 and there is a minimum $2. increment between bids. and I place my max bid at $300. The current bid will be at 102. Now lets say the next person who bids is willing to pay up to $400. If he puts $400, the current bid will be at $302 ($2 above my highest bid.)
So the bid was at 260k, and the company who made that bid probably placed a max of 380k (or some number), and the next bidding company thinks it is valued more then that. It can be very legit.
I am of the complete opposite mind-set. While I do not subscribe to digital cable (network channels and high speed internet access are what I want) I think it is a much better product then Satellite.
I had Dish Network.
1)they have poor installation (they just dropped wire in the middle of my living room floor, instead of putting it behind the walls). They installed my satellite on my neighbors roof
2)Their services DOES go out when it is bad weather, and bad does not really have to be a major storm
3)They lack customer service skills imho. When I had problems they always tried getting me off the phone, and then their next response "you will have to contact a local authorized dealer who will come out at their given rates."
4) They charge an arm & leg for their boxes and once you bought it, god forbid if it breaks.
With cable tv:
1) They wire behind your walls
2) If the service goes out they come and fix it (no charge to you)
3) Unless your wires are faulty - bad weather RARELY (less then 1% for me) affects your connection
4) High speed cable modems are way bettr then DSL...and satellite high speed is a joke.
Though I will admit, comcast lacks in service and reliability as far as sending people out - and I always end up spending HOURS on the phone, and long hassles and delays...a lot of undue stress.
5) If the box breaks due to it being faulty (as opposed to you breaking it) they fix it. Frankly, I don't even use the box (in philly they REQUIRE you to have a box even if you are not on a digital plan which is lame.)
Yea this guy probably knows how to p0wn people who mess with him (as far as his field is concerned). His credentials gave me a woody - and I am straight for crying out loud.
you know, I did try and post the latest Paris Hilton story to/. It got rejected - though I think that is definite news for nerds:) I mean who here wouldn't want to her her (and her friends') e-mail, phone number, etc....even if you are gay you want that list as she has gay friends. And the pictures --- well they were nice pictures:) Lots of lesbian, topless action.
I had a toshiba laptop, and now i have a dell 9100 laptop and have never had any problems plugging in any pci cards. I have gone from older cards (cisco, linksys, intel, netgear, and more) all the way to the latest and greatest...
W/o RTFA, it would be nice to have a whitelist in the bios (easily accesed) to show what brands/models work...and I am sure by "worked" it means without any problems (hopefully).
I think you are elivating Mozilla to a holy plane of existence where it really should not be. Mozilla had very few users for a long time so the advertisers did not care about trying to write code to circumvent its safe gaurds. Mozilla, under this benefit of obscurity was able to protect itself through the typical IE methods... now that Mozilla is in the limelight, it will be targeted, and more security holes will be found.
I think it is unfair, to say the least, to make Mozilla sound like it is the best thing since sliced wonderbread - when all in all it got away with a lot due to it being the ambiguous product that marketers didn't care about
Mind you, I am not saying Mozilla is bad - I use it at home exclusively, and tell people about it left and right, but it is just a matter before exploits rip it apart like they did IE.
I do run the latest version and have been experiencing full page pop-ups recently. Myspace.com seems to have found a way to circumvent the Mozilla pop-up blocker for me.
That's a lot different then a contract having to be fair - that is, coersion (sp?). They are trying to muscle her out (in a white collar fashion). In cases of disputes, the judges also tend to favor the people who did not write the contract. So if 95 year old grandma says "I thought it meant xyz" and the judge finds that "xyz" is worded in a very archaic way that a 'reasonable' person could not understand, then grandma will probably win.
On the whole, however, if you sign a contract and after you get the benefits of it you complain that it "wasn't fair" then tough noogies.
Part of the problem with our legal system is the people it represents. People want it all. I remember when I was a little kid. I went on a school trip and won a six pack of soda (we toured a 7-UP factory). I sold a can of soda to a girl in my class for $1.00 She drank the soda, then complained to the teacher that I sold it to her for $1.00. I had to give the money back, and had my soda confiscated...This mentality is seen in adult life with bigger deals then a soda for $1.00.
It's a shame - but in the end everyone is to blame (remember that large corporation is run by people who are the same as the rest of us.)
Even if this was the case, when the FBI come a knockin' they won't really care too much about FL wire-tapping laws. FBI supsersedes state law when it is a federal investigation.
I've seen it happen. Devils Advocate. At the end he says he refuses to continue his representation. In "The Practice" the lawyer thought his child-hood friend was innocent...got him off clean, and at the end learned his child-hood friend was guilty (murder). They do the ethical dilemma problems every now and again - but usually it is the "if i don't represent i lose my job, but if i do i lose my soul..."
I think they took a number of factors: 1) how many security holes 2) their severity (so probably a severe threat is worth 3 points, while a minor threat is worth 1 point), and 3) the speed of the patches once the threat becomes known to the company.
Number three is very important and easily rated. If a company finds out today of a breach, and takes a few hours to fix it -- that is a whole lot better then a company that takes two weeks to fix it.
As for the speed of the admin - The OS providers responsibility ends once they release a sucessfull patch (as far as this study is concerned). If it takes the admin a month to install it because he has been sitting on his butt for a month - that is his fault alone and has ZERO relation to this study or the quality of the OS.
