I wouldn't buy a television with an HD tuner in it either. I would buy one that is HD compatible (supported HD resolutions). I just can't understand why you would be so adamately sp? against having a television with higher resolutions. Further, if you just bought a new tv you can't say that the gov't is making you go out and buy all new equipment. HDTV may progress to a higher quality digital signal or some sort, but its not going to go away. I have yet to hear one good argument as to why SD is better than HD.
You have a screw loose if you think no one is getting them. More accurately I should have said many people are getting them. Maybe things are different with us city-folk, but anyone that I know buying a new TV is purchasing an HDTV even if they can't get HDTV broadcast yet. I've seen the difference between SD and HD and I think that there is a huge quality difference. Further, I think that the technology is extremely useful when you talk about connecting your computer to your television set. If you've ever done that you should know how much of a quality difference there is. Its like reading a new book compared to a book that was left out in the rain. I'm sorry you don't think that HDTV is worthwhile. I do. I must be brainwashed because I couldn't have possibly done my own research and evaluations and come up with a preference that is different than yours!
This may be a silly question, but can you do data for VOIP? I guess what I mean is in relation to a call originating with VOIP and ending at a modem on a POTS. Granted, it would be stupid to go from a high speed digital network to a slow analog telephone system, but is there any way to do this? It would be similar to a VPN type network connection with a virtual VOIP modem.
Did dinosaurs drive cars and use cans of aerosal hair spray? How did global warming occur if it wasn't their fault? Must have been due to methane gas release (flatulence sp?).
It certainly couldn't have been caused by nature...
The report is a little sketchy. Do you pay to rent Outlook or do you need to have Outlook to start. Is hotmail going to be an exchange server or just POP3. I'm going to assume Exchange since they are talking about using Outlook instead of Outlook Express. Frankly, for 60$ a year, I would consider using this service (that if my experiences with hotmail weren't filled with spam nightmares). I don't know of any common ISPs that provide access to an exchange server. Exchange server vs. POP3 is a HUGE improvement in my opinion. Further, since I can't get any of the national ISPs where I live using hotmail would make my email address portable.
But can you import a product MADE with a patented invention? If I have an infringing hamburger maker and I use it outside the US than ship my hamburgers to the US I'm not importing a patented invention.
I wish I had a mod point for you. I just attended my first Contracts class for law school last night, so this post was rather interesting. Thanks for a brief overview of Contract law!
I wouldn't say that it has nothing to with the Blackberry product. After all, email is a heavily integrated and crucial part of the blackberry device. Its not like this is just some standard email server that blackberry accesses. This is THE server that routes mail for the blackberry. The best analogy I think can think of is: I can't assemble this car in the US because there is some patent on the assembly process. So I go to Canada with my parents, use the process to put the car together (or better yet all the parts meet me in Canada from differnt providers). After the car is assembled I ship it to the US and sell it at car dealerships. I'm only studying patent law so I don't know the answer...Would this be considered infringement. I know you can't make or sell a product that infringes a patent, but can you make or sell a product that was assembled with a copyrighted process? I would tend to think that the answer is still no.
hmmmm, that is interesting then. That would be huge precedent for web servers that reside outside the US. Is the maker of a web browser responsible when a user connects to a webpage outside the US that contains copyrighted materials? What if the maker of the web browser is the is the one who is hosting the servers?
I don't know what the deal is in this case, but often Company X creates Company Y to handle patent litigation. Thus, Company X is a real company selling products trying to compete, but they use Company Y to consolidate their patent portfolio. So, while on paper Company Y does nothing but litigate patents, Company X and Company Y are really the same thing. Maybe that makes you feel a little better maybe not, just trying to help!
I don't see how you could have this fall any other way. Lets assume for the sake of discussion that NTP does own these patents and that the Blackberry does infringe them. Why should a company from Canada be able to come to the US and start selling a product that is infringing a US patent. The minute their products crossed the border, they became subject to US laws. Of course, they are free to make and sell what they want in Canada, and this lawsuit does not interfere with that. In fact, as the article points out "In August 2003, a U.S. court awarded NTP $53.7 million in damages and an 8.6 per cent royalty on all the revenue from U.S. BlackBerry sales." I.E. none of the sales in Canada are at issue.
I guess I don't see how this could fall any other way. Think about what would happen if international companies were allowed to make an infringing product then ship it across the border and start selling it. Why should I invent something if I could just move to Canada, wait for someone else to invent it and perfect it, then copy their idea and start selling it myself. Heck, while I'm at it I will even use their name and logo.
Gotham racing has been out forever on Xbox no less. It has the same basic premise. Power slides, air time, clean sections all provide extra points. Some "missions" require that you reach a certain point level rather than pass cars or beat a certain time.
From the article, it sounds like if we stop polluting the world will overheat due to the effects of global warming...thus, I propose that we keep polluting at our current levels until more pollution is required to keep global warming under control. We need to shoot for that equilibrium.
Windows Movie Maker...video editing suite including with Windows XP already at version 2. Does simple video editing includings combining clips, adding transitions, using multiple audio channels...basically anything that a typical user would want to do to edit home movies.
Maybe we should just stop treating an SSN like its some secret that no one will ever figure out. The SSN is so commonly used that no company should assume that if you know a person's SSN that you are that person. Its like saying, if you know John Doe's birtdate, you must be John Doe...its going to generate a lot of false positives.

Not a fan of watching baseball myself (though I enjoy playing), but at least I decided that after I knew the sport.

Last I checked, no one has been forced to buy an HDTV compatible TV yet, but suddenly everyone is getting them...
And the general public gets nothing...errr...wait, better quality sound and image. hmmmm.
Oh, I realize how silly the question is now. As long as you have a converter box to interface your rj11 connection to the pc you are good. Thanks!

Well thats pretty rude. I thought it was a little too good for a post on Slashdot.
