This is exactly to the point. User A should have to show damages. If it's the ISP that's lodging the complaint, then they should require their users not to share bandwidth as part of the terms of service.
Unencrypted radio signals that enter public space should be presumed to be for public use. That being said, the correct answer when the policeman asks is *not*, "I am connected to this open access point." If they actually have to prove you were connected, they may not bother, or they might not be able. It does not pay to be honest to a cop.
If these people are hiding something... they are hiding something.
That's a tautology, not begging the question. Even the actual point of the article, that encryption must mean that you are hiding incriminating evidence, is wrong, but does not beg the question.... which raises the question: Why would you defend the use of a phrase when you do not know what it means?
The later case seems much more likely - that you'd need to clear your name after the bum commits a crime. Maybe a bum isn't the best choice for this ruse.
Do you think you can find a college professor that needs a fifth of scotch?
"if the history of the Earth was condensed into a single day, then at 2 minutes to midnight - apes started to walk upright... 2 seconds to midnight, Homo Sapiens arrived."
Well, you can't expect us to do much in two seconds!
Try a lawyer, too, and get him to explain to you why it's better to shoot your home invader in the leg rather than in the heart.
I'd expect the lawyer to tell me I'm much better off if the invader does not survive. Not only are you more likely to avoid prosecution, but the civil awards for debilitating injury can exceed those for wrongful death - counterintuitive, I know.
Of course, when dealing with this situation, you better not be compromising your reaction by thinking about how you want to shoot him. Aim for the center of mass, because the one thing you do not want to do is MISS!
RCTV are the victims of more Chavez authoritarianism and greed. If your allegations of inciting violence are true then it's a criminal matter, which deserves a presumably impartial courtroom to determine. Your comparison with the FBI fails, because under no circumstances would they steal the station's equipment and land. Moreover, since this is a political matter it makes it even worse than any of the state robbery that has been going on up to now. Silencing the political opposition moves you from being a socialist to being a fascist. So does criminalizing anti-government dissent. So does making himself president for life - when he gets around to that.
Thanks. I think that was instructive. As someone who knows it exists, I wouldn't have found it (without search) if you had given me all day. If you are looking for an Inspiron laptop, you click on the laptop, select home, and you are told there are 4: Inspiron E1501 (lowest price) Inspiron E1505 (desktop replacement) Inspiron E1705 (good for gaming) Inspiron E1405 (good for travel)
Face it, they're not going to sell many that way, but maybe they're not ready. Maybe they need more time to put it in the OS selection for the regular E1505. Or more time to put it side-by-side with the Windows 1505 model. I hope they do. I'm not complaining, just stating the facts. I'm happy it's available at all. I hope they put it on the E1405 too, 'cause that's the one I would normally choose.
I figured it was just an obscure path, but after verifying the it is in the USA->Home and Home Office category, I'm sure it cannot be reached. Even the full customize option of the Inspiron 1505 only allows the following OS selection:
Genuine Windows Vista(TM) Home Basic Genuine Windows Vista(TM) Home Premium Genuine Windows Vista(TM) Home Premium + Belkin Easy Transfer Cable - a little know OS variation;-) Genuine Windows Vista(TM) Business Genuine Windows Vista(TM) Ultimate
I suppose the Linux machines need their own model number, so that the "as low as" price doesn't lead people to think that's the lowest price with Windows, but do you suppose they can't even show the lower priced 1505n on the same page as the Windows model, for fear of angering Redmond? They sure would sell a lot more 1505n's that way... if they're serious about it.
It's sad, but anyway I know what my next laptop will be... unless they make it even harder to find!!
This is mentioned a lot, but I've never seen an estimate of how much they get paid. I assume it's a small fraction of what they pay for an OEM Windows license, but since it's free money (i.e. there's no user backlash) they continue to visit this on their Windows buyers, and likely soon on their Linux buyers too.
Milanowski, who eventually swore out a warrant for Peterson, doesn't believe Milanowski knew he was breaking the law. "In my opinion, probably not. Most people probably don't."
Where I grew up, the police would've just come over and said, "Hey, you shouldn't be doing that. Don't let me see you down here again." Instead, this jerk writes up a warrant. I guess that "To protect, and to serve." idea is really an anachronism these days.
You think OLPC will come back once Intel gives up? People will have moved on, investors already got burned. There would always be the threat that Intel would respond and give them another beat down. If they already lost that battle once, why would they want to fight it again, without the headstart this time.
I don't think your last bullet exists as a real possibility.
You have misunderstood. The photo, along with her explanation and the hundreds of comments that followed are not restored. Still deleted. They have simply apologized, to her personally, not the community.
I agree they have a way to go before making this right. She's one of the important members of their online community and her post was rational, restrained, and polite throughout (something most of us probably would not have been able to manage.) It's not a big deal that they've recognized it was a mistake.
It was shipped to the address that you had defined as being your current address.
No, it just picked the first one. They're all assumed to be current.
Just 'cos you used the system incorrectly does not make it a bad system.
Actually, it might. Have you ever used a computer feature that doesn't appear to work, and then you find out what you were supposed to do? You might have said, "How the hell was I supposed to know that?"
I have brought this up when I speak to other users of Ubuntu, but they tell me it's just a codename, so it doesn't matter... then they go on to use the codename exclusively, even with newbies. This is truly a blind spot with them.

I tried this feature once. My order was promptly shipped to a prior address. I guess there's more than one reason to have an intermediate step before confirming the order.
One click is now turned off for me. I wonder if that's part of the patent, "AND you can turn it off. Oooooh."

That's not irony - if anybody cares anymore.
I appreciate that she is protecting her job, but I don't think the confiscated licenses should become property for her own amusement. Does this crime deserve to be preserved forever on a blog? It's not as if Rachel represents a government agency. It almost doesn't bother me that the DMCA was used against this person... almost.
I assume you're referring to the "intentionally similar" line. And for this, D-BUS is a KDE technology? Might the improvement over DCOP be attributable to GNOME? Seems a little petty to me. It's not like it was a fork.

Back to the topic...
No, you're eternally off-topic for responding to a troll post just to get a higher placement.
If these people are hiding something... they are hiding something.

Did you try downloading without an e-mail address? It works just fine for me.

You don't get to judge your own brilliance. Those are the rules.
Go back to running your business and quit worrying about your slashdot mods. Does your business involve selling french fries?
You obviously are not paying the bills for them as a customer.
