Sony's defense will be that this state is "standard industry practice" and to expect Sony to have taken more elaborate steps at being secure like updating the software or running firewalls and other protection services as well as things like honeypots and other intrusion detections measures is just not done by major internet service providers.
From my reading of these. All the technology was fine the failure predictions were based on not understanding the socialogical impact of the technology.
Google -> search Internet -> sharing and remote access ipod -> really personal applications TV -> advertising
The most important part of these technologies seem to be the humans in the loop and what the technology does for the humans. The predictions failures seem to be failures in understanding the sociology. The message seems to be understanding the sociological market for the technology.
$900M is less than what the last 3 CEO's of Nortel walked out the door with in salaries and benefits. We really really need a corporate revolution where executives are not rewarded in ridiculous amounts.
John Roth pocketed $100M in 2000. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2001/03/14/nortel010314.html
If CEO's get options they should be at only a slight discount on the current stock price and not execisable for 20 years. Long term value is what is needed. Not short term decisions which strip assets and long term strength in trade for short term magic accounting numbers.
The question is what was the base efficiency they were starting from ?
If the efficiency was 10% before it is now 1.8 * 10 = 18% If the efficiency was 15% before it is now 1.8 * 15 = 27% If the efficiency was 30% before it is now 1.8 * 30 = 54%
If the efficiency was 60% before it is now 1.8 * 60 = 108% - > thats unpossible
The crappier it was to begin with the easier it was to make it better.
Where they actually are "With this approach at the laboratory scale, Xu and colleagues were able to obtain a light-to-power conversion efficiency of 3.2 percent compared to 1.8 percent efficiency of conventional planar structure of the same materials."
Wow 3.2% efficiency. Great stuff indeed.
But if you look around other people are doing more than 10x that or a 1600% increase over the base line for this report. Crystalline silicon devices are now approaching the theoretical limiting efficiency of 29%.
Get a content provider to file a DMCA take down request against Mediacom. Or file with our friends the *AA
The content provider creates a copyright protected page representation. Mediacom is violating the copyright by modifying the representation on the fly.
The DMCA notice to Mediacom should say "stop this or be forced off line" and "Have a nice day"
These are not names the CA should be issuing. The only reason for issuing them is greed.
Make the CA aware that should any illegal activity be done using unqualified names that the CA will held legally responsible. Watch the unqualified names disappear overnight.
I would argue that the payment mechanism can also form a significant barrier. Having to create a paypal or other account or enter a credit card number is a barrier. The entering of the information is a barrier, trust of the system accepting the information is also a barrier.
Simple fact is Microsoft does have some outside software.
I would like to see some company buying a Microsoft product ask Microsoft to do a full audit of all their software for licenses under this requirement. I want every desktop and corporate mobile device in Microsoft reported and individually inspected for what software is installed. Then I want information on the license status of all software on that device. Also as they continually buy Microsoft products Microsoft is going to have to repeat the audit every month.
Every business that buys Microsoft software should ask for a copy of that information. That would be pretty much every company in the world. It would be nice if they all asked for a different reporting format.
The US constituition is founded on the belief that the populace is allowed to bear arms. The government/army has now declared that anonymous accounts are a valuable military asset.
This would seem to indicate that US second amendment rights should apply to anonymous posting.
I await the following legal battle especially given the legislative branches move to prohibit anonymous on line presence.
And yes the same bandwidth. I bought internet access, not me sitting infront of the computer pushing the mouse access. Downloads happen in the background all the time.
I missed a 0 from 1000 and made it 100. The math is still correct in the end.
The governement administration was pretty quick to hand them money to keep going and the oversight seems to be uninterested in putting people in jail. If you pickpocket a $100 store item expect to go to jail. If you force thousands into bankruptcy and put several nations into financial stress you will have no problem collecting your yearly bonus pay.
It seems to me we need a crack down on white collar crime.
Stop jailing people for grams of pot and start jailing people for ((( some smart saying I can't think of that means investment people who steal money))).
The drives have internal overprovisioning and perform internal garbage collection. This means that marked for deletion data has an unknown lifetime and may disappear at any point without interaction from a controller.
The hard to erase bit means that you really can't be sure something is totally erased without a full specific erase command to all flash blocks. Without that a page marked unused but not erased may be nestled in with a bunch of valid pages. As all pages in a block are erased together that marked unused page can hang around for a wile.
On the other side the firmware does garbage collection it actively looks for blocks with many erased pages and then tries to consolidate things so it can create more free blocks. This means if the drive is powered but not connected to a host machine it can still be doing data moves for consilidation and erasing marked for deletion pages.
There are thresholds for the garbage collection so it won't overwork and try for 100% consolidation. Thus you get both the presence of some really sticky stale marked unused pages and some active erasing of others.
Perhaps people would like to know tha the 10Mb/sec speed advertised by their provider is only available from 4am to 6:30am on weekdays. These actual usable bandwidth numbers should be general public knowledge. It would enable consumers to make valid choices and perhaps make providers do some real provisioning to support their advertised bandwidths.
Answer #1: Attention world please find attached a list of materials MPAA members or agents have directly released to the internet. We belive these are now considered free use to all.
Answer #2: Discovery request. The MPAA is requested to turn over all authorship and ownership rights documentation on all material the MPAA claims to have authority over. Note we are Google. We mean ALL. We will take paper napkins and scan them if needed. We want all physical mail and all email correspondence between the MPAA and members for the last 100 years or life of claimed copyright, which ever is longer. Note we are Google the amount of material is not a problem to us. Have a nice day.
In the latest technologies a lot of current is wasted to subthreshold conduction . Current that flows then the transistors should be "off".
A material with a higher bandgap 1.8ev to silicons 1.1ev will naturally have less leakage. As it is an exponential thing the leakage should not just be a reduction of 1.1 to 1.8 thing but much more significant.
Your company needs to seriously rebalance its internal strucutres if the productivity of a >$50k salaray employee is being impacted by the failure to make a yearly $2k investment in hardware. The simple numbers say a 5% increase in employee productivity justifies the expense.
If the problem is staff funding vs IT funding the managers need to escalate it. Save on the staff funding by doing the IT funding. If the company can't do the math and do the rebalancing then it is a bad corporate structure.
I thought the fee was $1000 per song or whatever the RIAA argued in that US case. It seems they are getting of rather lightly. Especially since they did this knowingly and in direct violation of signed agreements.
I would say any casual user could use this to set a low limit on the fee per song. They paid a little more than $100 per song title. And I expect each song title was reproduced several thousand times if not more.
Also what about seizing the physical devices that the RIAA used to make copies? If the RIAA did not lose their hardware then nobody should lose their computer.

It all begins to make sense now. Nokia does windows phones and they get their multimedia content from the Zune store.
Ahhhh.
And yes the same bandwidth. I bought internet access, not me sitting infront of the computer pushing the mouse access.
Downloads happen in the background all the time.
I missed a 0 from 1000 and made it 100. The math is still correct in the end.
I just want truth in advertising.
If they are setting a cap then the equivalent bandwidth rate to the cap must be presented more/in larger print than the peak or line bandwidth.
250GB/month = 250*100*8/(30*24*60*60) = 771Kb/sec
Then let the different services fight over the prominent number the capped bandwidth number.
Having a 20Mb/sec connection is not that usefull if you can't use it most of the time.
The governement administration was pretty quick to hand them money to keep going and the oversight seems to be uninterested in putting people in jail.

Pretty good for a "science" that states the sun is in capricorn when it actually is not.
Did they rule if this was valid for old astrology dates or the new aligned reality based astrology with Ophiuchus or both.

Are you breathing? Are your saliva glands, stomach and intestine working? Do you have white blood cells?
If any of the above are true your body already is a micro-organism slaughter ground.
