maybe you don't understand. Misdemeanors are fines to encourage people not to do something again. It doesn't stop it altogether, but it lets police take action and mitigates the action.
Misdemeanor fines could be in the thousands, and that would absolutely steer a reporter away from endangering themselves. You don't have to haul their asses to jail as a felony to accomplish this. Giving the option of a felony to police? Do you think they're going to accuse of that before dropping to something less? Possibly. But is it going to be abused?
again, you're focusing on the distance being a factor for safety - that has nothing to do with it. Really, it doesn't. Take that part of the concept out of your brain for a moment.
Now look at what's left - a felony for being too close to something?
Have you never seen news reporting on a crime near where it's occurring? You know, like interviews during military deployments? This has nothing to do with safety.
Meanwhile, what's the crime actually committed? None. So classifying this as a felony would easily not hold constitutional muster, and I bet the ACLU will get involved. This is clearly to prevent interviews.
I think this is the issue. Not a matter of the 65 feet being reasonable or not. That's not focusing on reality.
anyway, they're still at $275-$400+, which is still atrocious. Sony just doesn't want to give in to market pressure, you know, demand, which says that lower price = higher demand and a better revenue (Although a smaller margin). Given mass manufacturing, shrinking your margins to raise your revenue is an obvious decision.
Sony has been retarded on this. Anyone with basic economics could have told them this from the start.
How do people fail to understand that we are individuals? The average slashdotter, humorously contrary to supposed stereotype, does not exclusively live in their basement - most know that there is more than 1 person or opinion in the world. I find it completely unlikely that anyone fails to understand that, even if they are incredibly closeminded.
Meanwhile, any product that you decide to buy without logic and strictly based off of emotion shows that you didn't make a logical decision. When the result sucks? well, gee, whose fault is that? Not everyone can just turn off their emotions when making purchasing decisions, but it would be to everyone's benefit to do so.
Sales concepts - peer pressure sales such as what apple does and hard sales such as car sales rely on the idiocy - aka people's lack of cognition about their emotions - to convince someone that a piece of shit is a polished piece of gold, and to defend it, no less.
not only that, but the price was atrocious at launch. Did it really take them 4 years to realize that they needed to lower the price from the straosphere?
what the hell are you talking about? You are off on all accounts.
Yes, intel has H264 hardware support. so does nvidia and AMD. Intel's support however, runs shitty and has horrible framerate. Integrated graphics from nvidia and amd run significantly better on all accounts.
From that list I see: Update: Industry support announced at I/O -- including Adobe, who'll be rolling VP8 support into Flash Player. Take note of the hardware partners, though: AMD, ARM, Broadcom, Freescale, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and TI, among others. Missing in action? Intel.
as others have replied to you, the issue is that VP8 has the control here, and all they can do with H264 is saber rattle. If the MPEG-LA crew tries to sue VP8, we'll have one less patent to worry about: anything relating to H264.
MPEG isn't in a position to do anything other than cry. They have lots of money, and VP8 (On2) is protected by google (who has plenty of money). If they are so desperate as to sue someone other than google, don't be surprised if google steps in.
so you're saying an x264 development blog by an x264 developer is going to be biased against vp8, has been quoted a million times, and has no real world tests (there are real world tests out there). color me surprised!/sarcasm.
Saying that H264 is better or worse than vp8 shows straight up ignorance because they both have specific scenarios which they cater to. To avoid recognizing that is a lie.
In the real world, studies have shown the two perform quite similarly, actually. Also, at the rate VP8 adoption is going MPEG is going to have to sue a lot of people, and they're going to lose in public image among other things.
no, I'm not wrong. ASCAP's customers are also customers who have potential to be RIAA customers. So they are in the same boat. They both are licensing schemes.
In ascap's case, going after: coffee shops shows that Ascap is doing the same thing as the RIAA.
Same results, too. I mean really? going after creative commons?
Slashdot Mirror
wha? my point was that both our points were moot. *WHOOSH*.
what makes you think that people who discover 0 days couldn't use them to hack microsoft?
your point = moot

easily.

reckless endangerment and any kind of actual criminal charges require proof. Especially a felony.
At sea, yes, reckless endangerment is probably easier proven.
However, on the beach?

the latter is correct. filesystems that mac and linux use don't have fragmentation issues anywhere near the extreme that NTFS does.
it's also old news.
why are we covering such an old fucking article?
uh, what?
"Seriously, the Chinese, Asian and rest of the world hate and fear by Americans is getting beyond ridiculous."
can we get this translated by someone speaking english as opposed to sopssalanguage?
investing in your employees advancement is one of the smartest decisions a business can make.
BC? (what does that stand for)?

why would this even matter? It's a modified linux kernel, people would easily rebuild it without chrome if concerned.
scholar.google.com is as straightforward as it can get.

$400-600 for a console is retarded.
I'm impressed that people don't understand the psychology of sunk cost.
wow, you sure put up quite the debate there. Way to go ad hominem. *golfclap*
it's not even restricted to android.
what the hell are you talking about? You are off on all accounts.
Yes, intel has H264 hardware support. so does nvidia and AMD. Intel's support however, runs shitty and has horrible framerate. Integrated graphics from nvidia and amd run significantly better on all accounts.
Meanwhile, intel is not the only one to accounce support. They have the highest share, yes, but not by much anymore.
From that list I see:
Update: Industry support announced at I/O -- including Adobe, who'll be rolling VP8 support into Flash Player. Take note of the hardware partners, though: AMD, ARM, Broadcom, Freescale, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and TI, among others. Missing in action? Intel.
notably intel joined later saying they might support it.. That's hardly intel announcing support.
well if a court declares comcast a public utility that could go a long way in making some necessary changes.
as others have replied to you, the issue is that VP8 has the control here, and all they can do with H264 is saber rattle. If the MPEG-LA crew tries to sue VP8, we'll have one less patent to worry about: anything relating to H264.

who cares about intel supporting vp8? Their graphics capability is so shitty that they barely handle H264 at 1080P.
AMD and Nvidia? Probably could support it quite easily, and (strictly a guess here) are probably already preparing to do so.
so you're saying an x264 development blog by an x264 developer is going to be biased against vp8, has been quoted a million times, and has no real world tests (there are real world tests out there). color me surprised! /sarcasm.

shhh.
go watch 3d movies! 3d is amazing! Health risks! what are those?
