Netscape had Netcaster and IE had Active Channels, both http push sytems where you subscribed to a feed and had it sent.
Doesn't sound far from the claimed functionality.
I would expect the RIAA and MPAA to provide payments to every ISP and telecom company in the world to offset the labor and administrative cost of this requirement.
If they instituted a state income tax, there would be lynchings in Olympia.
You say that like it would be a bad thing.
I think Boeing having already done the corporate HQ move has had an impact on revenues.
I don't feel too sorry for them though, after the surplus they couldn't decide what to do with quietly vanished and Gregoire's been laying down taxes everywhere from the day she took office.
Cleanup in places like the Black Triangle and other places in Central and Eastern Europe would be the most obvious use for this if it can be done economically. The mining tailings and waste are only part of the problem, but anything helps when nations like Hungary are spending billions on inherited messes.
They should move on to molten-glass Thorium reactors really though, Uranium's so 1945.
Don't forget the royalties MS was also demanding on all PC clones, regardless of OS, claiming the BIOS routines were theirs.
Compaq wrote their own and were notoriously "almost compatible" because of it.
It wasn't until it was struck down in court I believe in 1995 that that cash stream ended.
You do know that even if the model IS of age, if they're depicted as if underage it's still child porn.
The laws in that regard are just insanely subjective, limited only to what a federal DA thinks he can convince a jury is in violation.
I know several photographers that refuse to work with teenagers, even 18+, at all because of what could be considered sexual.
The actual age of the model is irrelevant.
Why can't 14 year olds that "look" old enough vote? Join the military?
This is a legal double standard imposed by Congressmen later found to ride the line legally themselves.
They can come up with whatever they want, make rules everyone can live with, and be in complete agreement with every fine point.
Then Congress will scoop up their lobbyist money and ban it all with another DMCA revision.
Don't people know this by now?
Protecting Consumers? LOL
I'm no lawyer, but it seems like these cases would never make it in a traditional criminal prosecution. The prosecutor's there with a couple of screen shots and a letter from the ISP stating this account was it?
I'd think you would attack it like they do breathalysers; subpoena the ISP and their logs, attack their collection methods, and if proven unreliable, that'd leave an opening to sue them for implicating you. There'd have to be a standardized logging system to make these cases reliable and indemnify the ISP's from liability if they misidentified you, meaning more legislation.
Most ISP's wouldn't want to deal with more than a handful of lawsuits, with the RIAA's system of mass suits, they'd be finding resistance pretty fast.
POS systems all over are still using it. The office machines used to administer the old software's usually running windows and the POS software in a DOS box though, so even if FreeDOS was used for the sales floor machines, it'd be of limited use to the office where they need MS Office-type applications and other things currently not available for DOS.
Not that it can't be used, but I think the world's pretty much moved to GUI and won't be going back. I just don't see a killer app coming for a new DOS.
Isn't there still something to be done in New Orleans? Something other than sitting and waiting for federal money that is? There's a hurricane not too far away, just dumb luck they're not in this one's path.
I guess "for the children" legislation's just easier in an election year.
NASA's going to end up just a very expensive federal regulatory agency protecting it's monopoly by preventing all space launches from the US except by their own craft.
Let it go to court and file a countersuit for attorney's fees when he loses.
His "free" game would cost him hundreds or more. Rockstar doesn't make anything, but their attorneys' time is compensated and this idiot may not file another suit for a while.
Doesn't matter if what you're doing's legal in the country you're in or not, if it violates any country's laws that are party to the treaty, they could be required to gather information.
Post welfare reform, the "welfare queen" is largely a myth, one of many straw men used in political arguments. People who make a living working the system are doing just that, cheating and breaking laws and should be on the "3 hots and a cot" welfare plan.
A huge number of people who recieve food stamps ARE working. The poverty level's well above what people working minimum wage, and jobs that are scaled to the minimum wage earn. Either the poverty level's too high or the minimum wage is too low.
Unfortunately the ratings on video games is a much easier topic for politicians to handle.
I've replaced many office printers, the 4P (and most of the other 4* series) often are replaced while still functional with over 500k pages. I replaced a 4P a couple of years ago with over a million pages that'd been used as a main printer in a call center. They're generally limited by the feed gear/roller and when people decide not to replace the fusers.
The Si types were intended to be the workhorse versions. The L types, regarless of series, seem to have the most trouble. The 180 degree turn the paper makes just doesn't work as well over time and usage.
One caveat with eBay printers, I've seen more and more ten year old printers being listed with zero page counts. With no explanation, I'd assume they either can't print a self-test page or have been reset.
Just imagine, a Communist country run by a dictator who's repeatedly threatened to attack the US is believed to have nuclear weapons. With no warning, an ICBM is launched and according to tracking, is headed towards a US state.
Once upon a time, a response while the missile was in the air would've been expected, now it just means another press secretary task. No immediate action is taken until they see where the missile lands.
It's marketing. Most of the Chinese crap is just that. They set a low price point on a low-quality item, then also have the more standard fare. The price on the cheap stuff is lower than other stores because nobody else sells that junk, their prices on the brand names are actually a little higher than the local market.
Get em in with the price, then they look at the quality and step up one or two levels and you have decent profit margins.
Some apparently do buy the cheapest stuff, but most of it doesn't last long, so they either buy better next time or keep buying the same products. Works for them either way.
It's all about the "last mile", the actual drops. There's so much dark fiber already in the ground that any talk of the backbone being strained is just ridiculous.
How many CLEC's came and went after spending billions building fiber rings nobody needed during the dot bomb era?
You'd think that if this sort of editing becomes/is a market success, Hollywood would release re-edited versions of their own movies for this market.
So, if a company took one of these "cleaned" versions and edited it the same way as ClearPlay... who owns the editing that's been done? No derivative concerns on the source material if it's the original studio, but is the way it's been edited by ClearPlay intellectual property?
What standard will they use? Federal obscenity or "Can we create a sexual fantasy that includes it"? I'm sorry, I remember the investigation of Calvin Klein's ads as kiddie porn and just don't see how they can judge this well enough to make a reasonable system. There're lots of stories about photo labs notifying the police because someone turned in bath pictures of their kid.
Some of it's obvious and should be filtered or flagged, if the ISP's are willing to take on that role, but I really don't see a lot of this being practical. Will they also take the time to determine if all the porn spam involves models over 18?
Copyrighted material detection would seem much simpler to implement.

Try disabling jusched.exe and see how long it takes to reappear.
I prefer to run outdated programs to having things silently loading and running in the background.
There're enough things just with Windows running.

AOHell was a nice little add-on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOHell
If I remember correctly though, it was no more stable than the software it was designed to exploit.

They seem to be the only ones able to get anything into space with any reliability, normally with old rocket types.

To renew during this period, last I knew it was an additional $80.
That's like a 1000% late fee.
The US military can be and arguably has been used to protect corporate interests.
If the push to move oil and gold to the Euro and the doomsayers about the dollar valuation are correct, we may see this tested soon.
