Then why not just use the copper as a backup power source rather than a mandatory signal medium? This gives the customers the ability to select from the multitude of VOIP subscribers as well as have a stable backup power supply in the event of a blackout.
An amendment to the Canadian Copyright Charter is being passed that offers the same protection as the service being offered. The other schools are banking the bill will pass, rendering the fee obsolete. These other institutions are obviously do not feel the same. This is what raised the fee from approximately $3 to the $27 dollar figure, a comapny with a failing business model trying to sustain an unsustainable business. For what ever reason UofT and Western feel the governments protection by law is not sufficient and I would be very interested in finding out why that is.
If that kind of vague claim is all they need then you would be able to trace the drive from Newegg to your door. At the very least they will know the brands,model and specs of the drive. Everything about this Ask sounds wrong. There are more people here that already think some how the drive's previous owner was either some CIA agent or the most notorious pornographer known to our times. If this was the top CIA officials very own SATA drive wouldn't it be best it was accounted for ? It is your drive if you paid for it and was not stolen. Therefore you can do with it as you wish, knee jerk reactions in to fantasy land not included.
If I sell or give away my drive with data on it doesn't the buyer have all rights to the data transferred to them? If I buy a book and it has the answer to life written in the margins who has the rights to it now?
As a Rogers customer myself I can guarentee you don't have close to the cap you stated, which turns out to be true as you would only get 12Mb/512Kb plan with a 60GB cap for $46.99 plus taxes and modem rental fee (as per the text below the price).
Rogers has spent more time telling me their network sending reset packets downpipe is all my imagination and even their modems have 2 radios which brodcast your wifi signal as well as a "ghost SSID". I detected 2 SSID's wich had exactly the same signal and sequential MAC addresses. I call Rogers and they straight out tell me I'm lying. Since then all I can do is think about ditching them. SSL connections are flakey and their connections go down for some reason for 30 mins every morning at around 6am. Well the list goes on.
Just out of curiosity if anyone else here has a Rogers modem and has the ability to check for WIFI APs see if you can find a hidden network with WPA2 flags with a sequential MAC to your regular AP SSID. If you do find this please reply to this thread with any info you care to provide.
AMD bleeds money to Intel for the x86 instruction set. At one point this was manditory since all the programs out there that were able to be run by a comparatively inexperienced computer users were written for the computers they could find at Radio Shack et al. Now that Microsoft and Google are popular and platform agnostic (Linux/Android vs win8) AMD has a window of opportunity to start from scratch and just offer a kernel patch to have your apps run on their chips. This new direction is going to be interesting to see execute. Intel was and is the gatekeeper of the consumer PC space now that is not so stable. Android can and has already been ported to x86,MIPS and a whole slew of variant ARM archetectures. To top it off millions of people use and enjoy Android, distributors like that they can make the products cheaply and must stay with the platform to keep their purchases/investments, lastly carriers love it cause they can lock you in for 3 years at premium rates.
It looks like this time Intel might have to tighten it's belt for a change.
It is topical and relevant to the conversation. The American Founding Fathers were inundated by intrests other than what they though was right. They wrote down their experiences and came up with the best way they knew how to make sure divide and conquer tactics would not work. The people could decide amongst themselves their destinations in their own lives and with whom they wished to travel with. This is shown by the First Amendment.
While not being from the US but close by I can understand why people would refrence the American Founding Fathers in a time where the same issues they face are being encountered today.
In the same manner of speaking maybe testing it around charged multi watt coils should be on the board. If the receivers were out of spec and not actually FCC compliant then you couldn't really fault the carrier. It would be the same as Bell having to work around me mucking around with some electrical equipment and broadcasting on their channel.
If they want it to be a reasonable test of the systems capabilities you have to test against all parts of the spectrum equally. If indeed tests against faulty hardware were a subject to be tested then I would wager all of the carriers would fail as well. But if they did not include functioning equipment how would they determine if it was the device or the system?
Basically just because someone survives a faulty test it does not imply they are capable.
So they shutdown 'your' web site because you say X and you are under the belief if you say X at *another* web site then that one will stay up? Please explain.
Right now there are so many company names when Joe Six-pack goes shopping most people come out with stuff from obscure Taiwanese companies that are comprised of components from other companies I can't even begin to read let alone pronounce. While brand names can be a deal closer it is not necessary. Don't forget with all the cheap Chinese manufacturing everyone is getting into the small portable device category, this breeds all kinds of ecosystems.
I think with the new quad core ULP CPUs we will be pretty close if not fully able to virtually host a desktop system. A year or two after that you might have all of your data and multiple VMs and all kinds of hardware virtualized. At the end of the day with some highspeed wireless you could just feed the image as a simple file to a desktop system save the changes and take it with you.
I've been a geek or at least a pretty advanced quasi-geek for many years now. The first Apple product I bought was the 3GS. It was one of the first well thought out designs as far as I found smart phones / portable computing devices to go. I got it, hacked it and spent most of my time with SSH shells than tapping but as the thing gets older the deterioration of performance and brutal software upgrades make me say, screw it. I have been lurking since waiting for a phone with decently advanced hardware and open. I am sick of these stupid games played by these companies and they look at me like they are shocked, stuff it. I am more than willing to wait for a more advanced Raspberry PI type device half of what is coming out in the next 6 months. Hell a dual core SoC with decent GPU acceleration and decoding / encoding hardware would be great with a decent honed OS, 1GB of RAM would make me feel warm and fuzzy all over.
So I'm with you buddy. I would be more than happy to auntie up some cash with others to get something like that off the ground, that way I can finally just sit back and laugh rather than jumping to patch the next version of the OS just so my device works properly. Hey if everyone on this site ponied up $50 we could get a solid real piece of hardware that would actually make it to be an antique rather than just somehow disintegrating after the next model comes out.
You have to be kidding me. How would you find out who was taking supplies from an office? Maybe we could start with the people with access to the supplies?? How many people in a production have complete access to edited footage? Nah let's just blame the guy who found a stolen post-pad on the street and make an example of him.
Lets be serious for a second. If you were a part of the FBI and a business reports missing valuables do you start scouring chat rooms or start questioning people that were in charge that stole it in the first place. You guys make it sound like this guy has some contacts within the industry and is likely to do it again when he doesn't have access to anything to begin with. This was just a witch hunt and no one in the production wanted to get fried for it so they throw a grandpa behind bars instead. Stay classy guys.
Personally I believe the whole thing should be handled in civil court. The guy did something wrong but no one was hurt, nothing physically stolen and he didn't profit off of anything. If the FBI were really on top of their game they would have tried to procecute the handful of people working in production who actually stole the material in the first place not the guy who found the spoils on the street. It like someone stole trade secrets and started sending copies out to random people just to charge one of the recipients with the actual crime. Maybe this will set presidence and come back to bite them but from either pirate/anti-piracy viewpoint the wrong person went to jail.
You know it's not only that but the big problem is these guys only produced a very small number of these devices to begin with for dirt cheap and now they got so many back that they can hype another sale??? Doesn't that just sound a bit off to anyone else?
Why should any piece of hardware be rendered obsolete when it really isn't? If I have an old Radeon 9250 that can render basic 3D and drive 2 monitors why should I need to buy another one?

Ou mean like copying the video to an SD card and set up a user with only execute permissions to one file on the system
.... Nah that would never work.
But you would still open it to look.

You must be trolling. Of course Android supports ARM most of the devices out there are ARM now.

She says that about you too?

No loaves, no wine, no song, just politics.

Ugh. You have reminded me why I left Perl behind for a language that has strict typing.
umm you mean ?
sec += ((mon == 5 && mday == 30 && hour ==0 && min == 0 && sec == 0 year == leapyear) ? 2 : 1);
Still, that is pretty ugly but at least it works. Other wise time will only advance by 1 second every 4 years!

Mod this shit up.
The ultimate question would be answered if Watson himself realized he was a junk patent ;)
You know it's not only that but the big problem is these guys only produced a very small number of these devices to begin with for dirt cheap and now they got so many back that they can hype another sale??? Doesn't that just sound a bit off to anyone else?
Pro Tip: Never run power and data cables in parallel :)
Why should any piece of hardware be rendered obsolete when it really isn't? If I have an old Radeon 9250 that can render basic 3D and drive 2 monitors why should I need to buy another one?
