Verizon was approached before AT&T, but Apple and Verzon could not come to terms on payment because Apple wanted some of the monthly fees and Verizon didn't want to hand them over.
The educational discount applies to kids going through school, not everybody who is related to them. Just because I'm eligible for an educational discount doesn't mean my parents are, or my grandma is.
If the situation calls for a gun, then no other tool will fit the bill.
Your argument is wrong from the very first situation. If a situation calls for immediately stopping somebody who presents an imminent threat, a gun and a taser will do equally well. Except the taser will probably stop the suspect sooner and has less of a chance of killing him.
Do you think that the South should have been allowed to secede from the rest of America? How about Chechnya from Russia? The former resulted in many more deaths, why are you not defending those poor Southerners and their slaves, if you favor secession so much? How about a little selection of the horrible misdeeds these poor "people of Chechnya" have committed?
In October 2005, at least eighty-five people were killed in street fighting in the southern Russian city of Nalchik after Chechen rebels assaulted government buildings, telecommunications facilities, and the airport.
A three-day attack on Ingushetia in June 2004, which killed almost a hundred people and injured another 120.
A December 2002 dual suicide bombing attack on the headquarters of Chechnya's Russian-backed government in the Chechen capital, Grozny. Russian officials claim that international terrorists helped local Chechens mount the assault, which killed eighty-three people.
A bomb blast that killed at least forty-one people, including seventeen children, during a military parade in the southwestern town of Kaspiisk in May 2002; Russia blamed the attack on Chechen terrorists.
In Moscow, an August 1999 bombing of a shopping arcade and a September 1999 bombing of an apartment building that killed sixty-four people, and two more terrorist bombings in September 1999 in the neighboring Russian republic of Dagestan and southern Russian city Volgodonsk. Controversy still surrounds questions about whether these attacks were conclusively linked to Chechens.
In 2004, when Basayev, ordered an attack on a school Beslan, a town in North Ossetia. More than 300 people died in the three-day siege, most of them children. There were thirty-two militants, all but three or four were non-Chechens, and all but one were reportedly killed during the siege.
Why should the people of Russia demand change in the policy against Chechens when the image they portray is not that of the righteous freedom fighter, but that of the ruthless, child killing terrorist? If my child was held hostage and then slaughtered, I wouldn't have much sympathy for their cause, either.
One fool with a knife, about to attack somebody, is exactly when the taser should be used. Tasers should have the exact same rules of engagement as handguns. They were supposed to provide an alternative to handguns, not an alternative to a lazy fat cop not wanting to do work. I encourage anybody who was tased when they weren't presenting an imminent, life-ending threat to sue their respective police agencies for as much as they can. Hopefully the agencies will get a fucking clue and start using them right.
While I was away, my parents decided to get WiFi, without telling me until I returned. I looked at the configuration and they did not put a password on it. When I asked them about this, they said they didn't know about adding a password. Did they intend to make their internet available to everybody? NO. They just didn't know to protect it. An access point is open by default, so by your logic, all new access points are free to use until they're passworded, even if their owner doesn't know to add a password.
If by setting up a Web server I'm tacitly permitting inbound traffic, then surely setting up an unprotected wifi access point is the same
Only if you name your access point "FREE WIFI", or by some other means convey that it is free, since a website is implied to be public by default, and an access point is implied to be private by default, even if there isn't a password.
This is not the same thing as piracy. Stealing WiFi REALLY IS stealing, because you are depriving somebody of the bandwidth they are paying for when you use it without permission. That you think anything unknowingly left unprotected is fair to steal illustrates your lax morals. Would you steal somebody's car if they left it unprotected without knowing it? Well then why would you steal somebody's wifi if they left it unprotected without knowing it?
More likely in a mansion swimming in caviar from the money he made in the lawsuit on behalf of the American public.
The court might send you and I a quarter, though.
you mean the rocket and missile technology they stole from the germans?
Yeah, okay.
By the way, Mikoyan Gurevich and Sukhoi are companies, not technologies.
There are so many things wrong with your statement, so I'll summarize them in bullet points so they can't be misinterpreted.
- Encrypted traffic can easily be detected as traffic that isn't interpreted as legitimate traffic. If the traffic clearly isn't http, irc, ftp, etc, any one of the limited number of protocols, then it can safely be interpreted as encrypted.
- It is possible to automatically filter bittorrent, but impossible to automatically filter child porn. A company is not legally obligated in any way to manually filter one type of content unless it manually filters other content. To expect comcast to automatically filter one type but give more consideration to, and manually filter, another type of traffic, is wrong and illogical. I honestly don't know where you got this idea either, it's like you made it up on the spot.
- Comcast isn't guilty of contributory copyright infringement because, as a service provider, they are given immunity for user-provided content under the Communications Decency Act.
Comcast can easily block your VPN' by blocking encrypted traffic it doesn't recognize, that is if they so chose to. Of course, that would get them in a lot of trouble, too.
Moreover, bittorrent is a protocol, whereas child porn is not a protocol. The Bittorrent protocol is easy to detect and distinguish from other traffic, and thus easy to block, and child porn is not easy to automatically detect and distinguish from other traffic, and thus not easy to block.
If comcast went on TV and asked it's customers to not use Bittorrent over a certain bandwidth between 7-9 AM and 7-9 PM i'd just program my bitorrent client accordingly
Eventually, the gravity of Saturn will suck the rings in
The particles in Saturns rings are in no more of a decaying orbit around Saturn than the Moon is around Earth. The demise of the rings around Saturn will occur when they eventually dissipate into space over the course of tens of millions of years.
Telephone lines have common carrier status, so they can't do that
Internet lines were denied the same designation, so they can, hence network-non-neutrality
The idea, however, is that if they do that, they will lose all their customers, and be sued for it, too.

You call not stealing "being penalized"?
I can't tell if you're trolling or you actually hold these disturbing beliefs, but either way, you're sick.
it is absolutely amazing to see that the slashdot groupthink is that taking advantage of people is okay as long as they aren't technically literate
Because content on the internet is fair game, and free to access.

That's US law. The case in question takes place in the UK.
You LOOSE, good DAY sir!
If it's less, duplicate the data or pad it. If it's more, compress the data or duplicate the original random data (requiring a larger key).

BULLSHIT.
the company is producing something of value, the customer isn't
You don't think MONEY is something of value?

all you have to do is re-activate it. in fact, when you turn it on, it will prompt you to do just that. it literally takes one mouse click.
