Don't know when, don't know how much, won't be in the US for a while... we need a tag for concepts that people 'claim' will happen... or just use Duke Nukem Forever...
I'm not saying I would every pay the brand name tax for monster cables, but I would at least hope there is a purity difference and better sheathing / shielding on the monster cables. Copper may be copper, but 90% pure copper is different that 75% pure copper. As a disclaimer I should state I have no clue how pure the cables are, and how much difference purity would make in that application.
After 90 days, I will get between a 5 and 8% raise at my new job, then another raise at the end of the year, so I can make the 11.6% mark. Course I work for a forbes top 100 company, and to balance it out, I'm salary, so no OT, and they started me out about as low as you can go for the position. I think the big thing TFA missed is that many get a high percentage raise, but the jobs are so low paying to begin with that it doesn't put them where they need / want to be anyway. Just last year I was making 30k a year as the systems / network / security / phone admin for a bank. I got a 9% raise, or about a dollar an hour, still didn't put me near what should be paid for that type of skillset.
Wouldn't normally bother with a post just to say 'good job', but since the flamers are out in force, will throw in my 2 cents.
as far as dropping the case, I think he could have fought harder, but when it comes to family, it's a tough call. Personally I would have fought on, and just played some of the same delaying tactics the DA would use to keep dad from missing his trip, etc. I shop at sam's, and when there's a long line to get out the door, and 1 60 year old blind woman taking her time to check reciepts, I walk around. I've been chased down once, and complied while on the walk, but I refuse to waste my time after I've made my purchase. As far as CC goes, that would be an interesting case, because like florida police, I carry a taser, and would use it if I am being illegally detained.
I've been missing out on the military channel just because I don't want to pay for all the digital tiers, and I can only take so much fox news and espn. As far as pricing and everyone that says this wouldn't work because of the demands ESPN puts on the cable companies, I'm thinking espn would change thier tune when the people that pay them for advertising bailed due to dropped subscribers. It would be a long painfull process, but any type of major change is. I think more good than bad would happen, just might need a government subsidy (i know i can't spell) for the small channels.
I want a heads up in the back, facing outward, so I can put 'get off my (picture of someone mooning)' for tailgaters... I can't wait till people start playing GTA on this thing and get a little confused... Or playing halo, hop in a warthog and do some real 'war driving'... here's to hoping they never had more capability in graphics than needed, to keep creative hardware hackers from being a road menace.
By sueing a critic of his theories, the author of this book threw away any claim he might have had to any kind of scientific credibility.
I think he did that just by publishing the book...
You're missing a few hundred million extra people... not that all of them vote, but hand counting is getting to be very time consuming, and people are hoping that technology can do what it does best, simple tasks faster and cheaper than by hand. This is just one more growing pain of technology, like you have in any field, only it can have more serious side effects.
I never even bother searching. When I get fraudmail I just forward to abuse@. If it goes through, kudos to them for using a standard, if not, they may deserve any fraud and odds are they wouldn't check into anything anyway.
I'm guessing that's a global number (RTFA? who has time... besides me), but if that was just America, that would be more than half of the population... wonder how many of those numbers are dupes.
Long time ago, the local Bell was having a problem making too much money. To cut back on profits to get the government off thier back, they started running fiber to every single subdivision in my area, and we're not talking huge city. There's fiber all around me, all of it neglected and cut up by now. Now the companys are saying it costs too much to do what they were blowing money on before...
One of the most famous scenes in the film shows the bus jumping across a gap in an elevated freeway-to-freeway ramp while still under construction. Both sides of the gap are at identical heights, making it impossible that the jump would work in real life. I've seen the movie plenty of times, and while I'll admit my memory isn't the greatest, I would swear that the gap was not level, and the section they landed on was lower. But my opinion doesn't count, one of my favorite things to do in movies is spot where physics went out the window, or the wrong techno-babble was used. Watched T3 again last night (yes i have too much free time), and bust out laughing when they talked about skynet spreading into all the computers around the world, there's no way to stop it... then all the nukes go off. Would love to see how they explain skynet surviving all the emp's, downed networks, loss of power, and getting the computational power it needs to survive / evolve from my mom's old celeron with 128 ram, and the like.
I'm not on the RIAA's side, but I can completely understand the delay tactic. It's not about the money in this one case. I'm willing to bet they have accepted the loss internally, but want to keep the 'official' loss off the books until they can collect in the countless other cases. IANAL: legal standings and precidents aside, not paying now could keep other currently undecided cases in doubt, instead of fueling the other people into fighting. just my 2 cents.

Would be interested if someone could find out more, TFA didn't have much in the way of details. Was this a server in a DMZ, completely internet facing; hardware or software firewall; was the the file sharing ports left open, or the everything? I've made a few mistakes in my time, but never that big, not to mention the fact that (and i'm saying this without real details) it's pretty sad if you have to mess with a firewall to do file transfers...
Any self proclaimed basement dwelling lawyers know if criminal charges can be files for HIPPA violations from individuals, or does the corporate liability umbrella going to save someone's ass.
Offtopic, but I really like these '10 years after' articles, because it helps me sit back and think about the last decade. I was thinking this had been more recent, didn't realize an entire decade has passed... Kinda fun to actually think about what all has changed, and what hasn't.

Only thing I ever tell the floor guys at best buy is 'no thanks'.

because 'off the record' is soo respected by reporters anyway. I don't even want to read TFA to see what spawned this blunder.

best buy. I've been really happy with my samsung, but that list has several upconvert, not all of which I would call 'good', but a few that I would.
I've always made them pay, couple more expensive tickets, and I'll have recovered my money from them spent up to windows 3.1...

Some friends of mine started making thier own world a long time ago, gotten pretty detailed. Here's a link

Saw a demonstration once where they took a blowtorch to one of the tiles, it was little more than a few inches on a side.
