Following reports that the newly appointed Court of Appeal judge in Pirate BaymÃ¥let previously been a member of the same compound as the copyright jÃvsanklagade District Court judge, asked the Court of Appeal president yesterday to hear unless another law departments should determine jÃvsfrÃ¥gan.
Wait...I can't read Swedish, but from the context, did that just say that the Court of Appeals judge was a member of the same copyright-protection groups as the biased District Court Judge? Wouldn't that make her biased, but in the other direction?
This case gets more entangled and ludicrous by the minute...
Presumably, you can get all the information you need from the Wired story. I wouldn't know of course, because as a Slashdotter I have a pathological aversion to reading the articles.
Uhm, wouldn't the illegal transmissions emanating from your house constitute probable cause to believe that a crime was being committed in your house?
Mmmmm, yes, but the FCC aren't law enforcement. They can, in rare cases, refer repeat violators to the USDOJ for criminal prosecution. But this power exists outside of that, I believe.
For the most part, I agree with you: I have seen some very stupid implementations. But we don't live in a homogeneous world.
One of the principle advantages of virtualization, however, is that the guest operating systems need not be the same OS. For example, you could have a LAMP stack running on one VM guest and an Exchange server running on another.
Furthermore, there are specific reasons why you might want at least the appearance of separated machines for each tier of N-tier solution. Most of these aren't really technical, but are political and economically related because bean counters like to think of different functions of a system as being completely separate from each other, and they think, for some reason, that having your MySQL server on a different physical (or virtual) machine than your Apache server is going to ease administration of both. Admittedly, it does simplify a few things, but not much.
There's also the security angle, but I'm not one of those people that think the virtual machine separation is the same as physical machine separation.
One technical reason is when you want to do "cloud" computing: you can bring as many virtual machines online as you need on demand, without much regard to the underlying hardware structure.
They've had this power for decades. This is nothing new. Fire up a transmitter and start broadcasting overtop an FM radio station, and just see how fast the FCC sends out their goons.
This is certainly true of most servers, but is it true of virtualised servers in really big data centres?
No. The biggest reason for virtualized servers is that everyone noticed that typical servers spend much of their time idle, so if we throw a 4 servers into one physical box, the hardware will stay utilized. This means we need fewer physical boxes, which means we need less power.
I have. I'm a Unix systems engineer. HP-UX includes fully supported SSH in 11i and later. AIX has supported >8 usernames and passwords for since 4.2 and SSH is included in the box. Both have support for LDAP and Kerberos, again, out of the box, which allows for >8 character usernames and passwords.
Solaris, for it's part, has supported MD5 passwords since version 8 and 9 and 10 have it enabled by default.
Not a parent, huh? You have to get them to cooperate enough to get the nitrous dispenser hooked onto their face. If they view the headset as a toy to be used while videogaming, you're far more likely to get them to cooperate.
Yes. That's why we now have replaced telnet/rsh/rcp and authenticated FTP with ssh and scp, NIS with LDAP+Kerberos,/etc/shadow, authentication in NFS, support for other filesystems like CIFS, etc.
Microsoft, for their part, haven't changed all that much.
Before you decide that I've bolded completely random sections of the parent post, consider this: Linux is great at almost doing most things for a lot of people if you have a bit of time to fiddle with it and ask around for help. I don't really know how to make most of this stuff work right in Linux, but somebody probably does. Maybe the guy that wrote the software? Well, if he's not helpful, there's this other software package you can try...
Before you that I've bolded completely random sections of the parent post, consider this: parent and grand-parent poster are Microsoft schills or at least fanboys. If you don't know enough about Linux to make OpenOffice.org work for you, make iTunes run under wine, or getting BDs to play in Linux, or at least enough to find out, then WTF are you doing posting in a Linux thread on Slashdot?
1) Who needs Microsoft Office? The answer is: unless you're in a corporate environment, almost no one. OpenOffice.org works just fine for Aunt Tillie who needs to write letters and keep her recipes on the computer. And even those in a corporate environment have gotten by with out it.
2) Photoshop is not needed by nearly as many people as you might think. Unless you're a professional photographer or a serious amateur, Photoshop is simply overkill. Krita and GIMP will meet the needs of 99% of anybody who needs photo editing, including a lot of those professionals and prosumers.
3) iTunes is reported to run under Wine.
4) I don't stream Netflix, but have heard that you can do it under Linux.
5) Playing what games? There are plenty of native Linux games. Oh, you mean playing the latest-and-greatest RTS/MMORPG/FPS/etc.? Well, if that's your bag, then you need Windows. BTW--you're still in the minority of computer users.
6) There are ways of playing Blu-Rays on Linux....
Agreed. It's not even the first battery powered by air in this manner. As Taco ever heard of zinc-air batteries? These are commonly used in, among other things, hearing aids.
I used it only because the page includes links for sources that are impartial and well-informed. But, if you like, here's another one. If you Google it, I'm sure you can find tons more just like it. Which only further validates my statement.:)
This is a possible application of all the anti-satellite and anti-anti-satellite technology coming out of the U.S. and China as of late. Blow them up. Hell, why not?

Wait ... there are articles on this site?
Are they trying to make their legal system look like a circus? If they are, they're succeeding, in spades.
Ha! They'll never make their legal system look more like a circus than ours! U-S-A !!! U-S-A !!! U-S-A !!!

So as to reiterate my point, it sure as hell better not be MPs on my property.
And what -- exactly -- do you intend to do about it?
Thanks,
Department of Homeland Security
Nope. Every device that emits a radio signal is licensed. Your wireless router has an FCC ID, does it not? Then it is a licensed piece of equipment.

You're not putting the nitrous mask on your kid. The doctor/dentist/nurse/tech is. And those masks are kind of scary to a kid.
That has to be the funniest review of a consumer electronics product. Evar! My sides are STILL hurting from laughing so hard!
Thanks, man. You just made my whole week.
I agree with that. It would be nice to see Apple transformed from Arrogant to Humble and Appreciative.
So, exactly how are you going to get Apple to replace Steve Jobs with Steve Wozniak?
Hell, yes!

Please place your geek card in the depository on your left.
Thank you, and have a nice day!

Oh, you mean dull. Or as Homer Simpson would say:
B-o-o-r-i-n-n-g.
I think the figures refer to the combined mass of all aatellites over the period.

Because 100,000 Kg just sounds BIGGER than a 100 megagrams! :-P
