We already know movie studios steal for a living. They steal from the consumer, the taxpayer, the director, the actors and anyone else involved. The term - Hollywood Accounting. Would Amazon be any different? Should we be making it easier for them to steal ideas now?
It's not just Aunt Mildred... Imagine Amazon already knows what I've bought online. It makes sense that I wouldn't want a second one, so they can automatically block the gift.
imo the rich are more willing to spend the additional money on gaming the system than on taxes. So when you have a complicated system, then you have alot of loopholes to exploit.
Actually, if you want to talk about precedence, the last time damning documents were released, the public was angry for all of a month before things settled down to the status quo. The lesson here? These revelations aren't worth anything anyway, we are just going to carry on doing as we please.
afaik the only forum that truly allows anonymity coupled with verifiability (that is to say nobody can impersonate your online personality) are the 2ch-style boards, including 4chan. For those who don't know, you can key in any nickname you want when posting, but trailing that is an encrypted hash of whatever password you attached to it - therefore no 2 people can post using the same nick. No registration, no verification emails, no password, no mothers maiden name.
What product are you referring to? The only product I see is the one sitting behind the box, that apparently is defective - it needs to be made to jump through more hoops dammit, or it won't be docile when delivered to the customers.
The branding Office 365 will not last until the year 2012, that's my prediction. Why? It's not nothing to do with the durability of the product, it's just that marketing folk have a way of coming and going quite frequently. And the next guy always wants to change something. But anyway I would have branded it Office 24/7 instead.
An American president's 1st term in office gets to show you what the man is made of - whether he can stand up to pressure or fold like a deck of cards. In his 2nd term, you get to see what he really wanted to do all along...
The company is right, the company is cooperative, and they have done nothing to deserve ridicule. This being said, they have also proved themselves to be irrelevant - there is no reason to get your dog chipped for identifying purposes.
Would you rather that violent and significant crimes went up in order for police to spend 90% of their time on the former? Because that's a description of New York before the turn of the millenium.
There has been a lot of branding going into the Pirate Bay, Pirate Party, WikiLeaks, and even the name Julian Assange, whereas none has gone into the "Free Information" party. If I were to be asked who I would vote for it would definitely not be a party I have never heard of, no matter how chivalrous the name sounds. Why throw all that away? As a matter of fact, the way that politics is going, when a politician says he is for something (e.g. protecting the children), I tend to think the opposite (exploit the children for my gain). It is the key to good advertisement - you know people hate flying because the seats are cramped, so you advertise that... your seats are bigger.
This would mean a phenomenal loss - Microsoft makes no phones. They would have to subsidize the operating costs of third party manufacturers to get them to make windows phones,or start making their own phones.
Isn't there some kind of protection clause against those who bid low, such as a ceiling or price cap for going over budget? In the industry I work there are clearly defined deliverables, and also clearly defined financial penalties not for going over budget - the contractor takes the loss for those, but for not delivering in a timely manner. Such practices go a long way in producing a streamlined and disciplined project that can be brought to completion.
Tor does not inherently have the right to exist. If you run an exit node, you take on the responsibility of all the anonymous traffic that goes through it, as though you were the source of that abuse. I can see how the malaysians may have to provide IP address details to your ISP, but I don't see why they should have to provide it to you. That's the price you pay for participating I guess. GP is right. Honeypots lose their effectiveness when their IP addresses are compromised.

Wait what? They want to moeterise a software company?

You're basically just asking to buy back a year and a half of time. Doesn't make the problem really go away.

In the movie District 9, DRM was used to keep alien technology out of human hands.
So is this guy going to make a superhero costume or not? What you've written is the premise for Batman Begins.
No pics? I'm shocked. Here's one.
No wonder. Women are an alien species to us too!

Nine out of ten that is a business plan likely to fail. You may not remember the dot-bomb years, but it was all about that.

why is the east coast that must more dense?

they want you to know they are able to track your activities? even if they aren't?
They're obviously being so kind as to assist us in nuking the site from orbit.

My area doesn't get Hulu, Netflix or Sky TV. Shouldn't I qualify for a discount then?
