If they would have licenced this, he would be looking at a hell of a lot more than $9m since '93...$9m is nothing when they are making a few billion on Office each year!
Coming from Tornado Alley, I can tell you that we may have 5 minutes warning tops, IF WE ARE LUCKEY!!!
There was a violent storm here last spring; I was at work, in a concreat building, in an internal office with no windows, but the public alert siren for a 3 mile radius was mounted to our building, so we all could hear it plain as day...I didnt hear the sirens for 10 minutes, so I thought it was all clear, on my way to the door, a security gaurd infomed me that the siren went quiet because a tornado just ripped it off of the tower outside!
With all of the interesting stuff that could have been asked of or quoted from a newly non-MS Scoble, why site only the gay rights thing in the blurb? Is this Slashdot or the Daily Koz?
If I were the RIAA, I would pay a highly skilled team of scientists, engineers, and coders to decelope a platform independant DRM that could be used to tag any format of file, then make iTunes, and all other legal sites use that, and make it easy for all portable media players to be updated to it. I would also release enough specs on the DRM to let any device maker or OSS project play nice with it,
The main security feature of this would be a unique ID on each file, so if one did show up on Gnutella, Bittorrent or whatever, you know who to sue.
Screw the changable plates, retro fit an LCD projector in there and hace a private pr0n-capsual...WOW...with that one minor redesign, the inventor of this contraption may be able to...idunno, sell one!
The crunch that is being felt isnt because of sites like youtube, google or iTunes: It is the bells and cable COs that have been selling 3-6Mbps connections for years when they thought "no one could ever use that much" but those idiots forgot the golden rule of bandwidth, peope find new uses for bandwidth when they have more at their disposal!
If the bells sold these connections knowing that they could not support them, they should be sued for fraud, they shouldnt be charging us MORE money to fix their fuck-up
This story referances the MSRP...Apples (and dell, sony...) deals are set on a bulk rate basis, think price/1000, they already sell at a much lower markup to OEMs.
Web2.0 is nothing more than a grouping of dymanic technologies like DHTML, CSS and RSS, that stuff just makes life easier and information more conveniant for apps iother than web browsers to use as well as being more efficiant than static pages
The problem is the same age old problem that dates back to when the mases got net access: the problem is stupid users giving too much fucking info to the wrong people!
they were just sayin g NA NA NA NA NA NA: you cant catch us!
Now they have been busted and they cry fowl...How immature!
I love torrent, I use it all of the time, and there are freat uses for it, but if you are surprised that a site called the PIRATE bay would last, you are just being foolish
It isnt work ethic, it is enviornment in the IT sector, IT is the whipping bys of every dept in the orginization, we are told to enforce security policy then bitched at by those who issued the order while we carry it out, we are on call all the time, we are somehow responsable for every userland mistake, spam, popups...it all falls to us. The users f**k things up, the IT guys give up their weekends to fix it.
Given Reco, and standard, legal wiretaps and bugging, the Feds still cant touch Mr Soprano! The NSA spying program could revitalize and de-criminalize all of NJ!
only shows that are availible in my cable package but that I forget to DVR, am I a criminal? I am already paying to watch the shows, and archiving is fair use...if others DLing dont have the legal right, that is their problem!
high school kid in an average middle class family that can afford Photoshop, Office, or even a retail copy of windows XP? they pirate it because they want it, sure it may not be "honest" but do these companies not realise that todays casual pirates are tomarrows customer base?
They pirate specificly because they CANT buy, it is not a lost sale

Now you can find that tax loophole with the power of google parsing through all of those IRS publications... Thank you Google.
To charity ought to cover his ticket on the karma train...no matter who you are, that is a shit ton of cash given for human betterment.

We were all promised 6Mbps and there is no way the backbones can take it, sue the ISPs for false adverts.

As if geeks didnt have enough trouble getting chicks...Now we have to show crack at work?
Methinks that will not help matters at all!
Untill they start jailing parents who take their 7 year olds to an -R- rated movie, they should leave games alone!
What is the opposite of progress? Congress!
