You are so wrong; first, there is no crime saying what you can or can't accept as a business. Second, if you read the article you would have been informed of this. Third, how many people are actually dropping cash in a store nowdays?
In this case this was an order, not a binding precedent. And it was from another jurisdiction for which the judge in the present case can wholly ignore. And, unless there was an issue at hand for which the judge was ruling on, immediately does not mean drop all cases to telephone the judge. (I think you would agree it would be brought forth during the next hearing/conference/meeting with the judge in person?)
While I do not know all the facts of this case, an argument can easily be made that the vacated order was showing logic of a legal argument and was not binding, therefore the vacated order was not necessary to bring forth to the judge in the instant matter because it is not binding and your honor already knows this. And the fact that the order appears to be vacated because the defendant in that case appeared in the matter does not invalidated the legal argument set forth in that order.
This happens all the time. Of course the RIAA is not going to "rush" the court to bring forth the case. Geez, get a grip. It's like no one has ever seen the way the legal system works. When something bad happens to you, you aren't the one to bring that up in the court--the other guy does. It's amazing to see the amount of stories about how the RIAA does something in court and how people are shocked, shocked I tell you, to believe they did that. Let me fill you in--most of the stuff they do is what all lawyers do.
Because a screenshot can be easily faked. Posting a video so quickly after it happened gives credence that the hack was real as it takes longer to fake a video, and the longer the video the longer it would take to fake. Immediately post a video of a hack and you are sure that the video was messed with (unless the video was made prior to the hack, but that's another story).
NTP might have had a hold over RIM because their business was depending on continued service, but NTP just picked a fight with multi-billion dollar businesses who are not going to roll over. This is just like SCO picking on IBM. When you fight a well funded opponent you better make damn sure you got the goods because their *multiple* law firms will eat your lunch.
That's where you are incorrect. There was never any privacy when someone was using their "work" computer for "personal" use. If you think you have any privacy using a computer provided by your employer, using your employer's resources to access the porn, you are mistaken. Courts have held numerous times employers own the equipment and have the right to view (i.e., spy) on your usage.
There was no privacy here, therefore no ethical issue.
You can google this, but the iPhone is not subsidized by AT & T. While most phones are, the cost for the iPhone is around $250 for materials. This is way lower than the $600 purchase price, which leaves a profit for Apple no matter who buys the phone. AT & T does not want the iPhone out of its network because they spent a lot of money on the virtual email/voicemail setup. They need to recup those costs which are probably substantial. That's why AT & T sent out its lawyers immediately when the hardware hackers of the iPhone went public, but did you hear anything from Apple? Nope, nothing. No lawyers, no press release. That's because Apple really could care less. And in a perverted way, if the iPhone was hacked they would just sell more and still make a profit.
You are talking about consoles and watching movies, however, the battle will not be won there but with stand alones. Right now you can get a HD-DVD stand alone for $299 at Best Buy. The corresponding Blu-Ray player goes for $599 (double the cost). In just two months it will be Christmas season and guess what people will be buying? That's right the cheaper one. The $299 cost is the price point at which consumers jump on these things. That's why there has been a huge increase in sales. Blu-Ray may be ahead right now, but they will price themselves out of the market. The selling point for the HD-DVD will be something like this?
Why pay $600 when you buy ours for $300 and buy 15 movies to go with it for the same cost of just buying the other?
What's that? Your favorite movie isn't on this format yet? Wait to next year, they release it then.
And, btw Bourne Ultimatum is one of the movies which will be on HD-DVD, not Blu-Ray.
This is funny because I wasn't going to buy a version of Vista at all.
But when I saw MS was going to let you virtualize the lower rung I changed my mind. I was going to load a purchased copy in my Mac. Changing their mind lost my sale.
Part of the problem is that is expensive...that is the same thing that resulted in the cancellation of the original series.
About the first series... "It was the most expensive television production of its time: $7 million (U.S.). Each weekly episode cost a purported $1 million (U.S.). "
I've been here before for the first series, and am seeing it now. In another 30 years when the third version is made I'll bet it won't last for the same reason.
Seriously. If there is no exclusion in the warranty proper -- then tough. HP is avoiding their contractual obligations. And because it would be easy to prove more than a few people use a different OS on HP computers they are possibly in a world of hurt.
(Of course the settlement for the lawsuit will just be a coupon to HP buyers and fees to the attorneys, but that is another matter).
He was suggested because rather than having the most elite hacking skills, he was actually a very, very good social engineer. In fact some will say that is why he was *successful* during his crime spree despite his technical skills, not because of them.
I was mainly trying to say that even if 99% of the people hate it the phone would reach the target set by Jobs.
However, I have seen the numbers on that research and it is based entirely on photos and what others think it will be. Until the public starts putting their hands on it and try it out in a store the numbers on pre-purchase items are always fuzzy. I wouldn't put much stock in them even if they said 50% of the people would buy one. There is just too much about the phone people don't know yet (the general public).
But that's okay. If 99% of the people hate it and don't buy it then Apple will have reached its target goal.
Personally, I think opinions will change once people actually have the product to hold and look at. Then you will start seeing real opinions on whether people like it or dislike it. Until then, blah--it's all made up.
Actually there was 3 1/2 years of data before the 5 years. And the drug is long out of phase 2 testing. Phase 2 testing is dosage levels, followed by phase 3 which is human trials. After human trials (phase 3) the data is submitted to the FDA for approval. A lot of people are saying the drug is in phase 1 or 2 which is wholly inaccurate.
As for boosters, the current medical information says it will not require a booster. Gardasil operates similiar to Hepatisis B vaccinations which have been going on for 18 years and they don't need a booster. Further, at last report for the ongoing study effectiveness has not decreased at all for the patients who have taken Gardasil.
HPV Types 16 and 18 cause 70% of cervical cancer cases. Gardasil offers 100% protection against these two types. That's what I meant (stopping those few types stops cancer). Gardasil does not stop all cervical cancer, never said that...and not all HPV types/strains cause cervical cancer either.
Last year approximately 3900 people died from this *now preventable* cancer. You can't directly compare deaths from flu because deaths from the flu are lumped together with deaths from pneumonia by the CDC. The CDC tracks the pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) Mortality Surveillance as one lump sum number. This number is larger and is listed by the cause of death as a standard item on a list which also leads to reporting deaths from complications from the flu or pneumonia not necessarily as the primary cause of death.

then don't publish it online.
Ditto, wtf does this say?
You buy something from a corporation and after you own it; you take it home; they still control it. See, for example, iPhone.

No, it runs on the vast majority of computers in the world at home and in the workplace.
Seriously, this article has pre-determined outcomes and therefore irrelevant. And yes, with VMWare you can run it on Linux.

Sound great. Why don't you paypal me the money and I will hold on to it until the auction?

The report released in 2007 says the rate has went up.
