The claim that the h/w itself could have been the reason would be valid..., but...!
It's just a situation that happened to 3 other friends as well and ALL had different hardware.
Single handed you would not stand a chance if you took M$ to court and even if you had mini companies capable and willing to start a class action suite the chances of success would be minimal.
simmer down, internet. I got this one. from AAA website:

It is unlawful to drive a motor vehicle equipped with a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other similar means of usually displaying a television broadcast if the receiver is located in the vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat.
so it's not the san diego PD being google haters or anti-technology, they're just enforcing existing laws about monitors viewable to the driver. nothing to see here.
There are plenty references in other threads and I have to ask here, is it illegal to have a GPS with a display that tells you where you are going?
I first started with hard iron machines, tabulators, collators, etc. They had control panels that were wired to perform accounting functions using punched cards.

Autocoder (a predecessor to Assembler) was used for real applications.
Nielsen may have coined the term 'Designated Market Area' and hold a trademark on it (won't go into the lack of logic to that) and certainly 'DMA' (just do a Google on that) is an acronym that represents multiple institutions, chemicals, etc. (if there is a trademark on that somebody in the trademark/patent/copyright office is playing far too much 'Grand Theft Auto' designed by Rockstar North Ltd. and formerly DMA Design).
If they in fact reacted to that 'Nielsen DMA # nnn' (see It's a clean remake) then Nielsen's copyright claim is vexatious and should pay for abusing the DMCA (won't go into the lack of logic that went into it's conception either.)
Wikipedia has not been much clearer and what that '# nnn" refers to is not a 'market area', it is a ranking number that has changed on per city basis each year.
If anything the link to the Excel spreadsheat is the same for any '# nnn' -- http://www.nielsenmedia.com/nc/nmr_static/docs/2007-2008_DMA_Ranks.xls -- this is public knowledge (it is on Nielsen's site for anyone to see) and where Wikipedia (as a matter of completeness in making a reference) has failed, is not be accurate or consistent in the numbers used -- [just take a look at the spreadsheet and it will become obvious].

Subject: Re.: Bell defends 'shaping' Internet traffic
Dear Editor:
This is tantamount to an invasion of privacy:
"Bell began implementing traffic shaping measures for its own retail customers last October between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 2 a.m., which is when traffic on its network is highest. Its rival Rogers Communications Inc. also employs similar techniques.
Both rely on deep packet inspection technology to determine the protocol of individual packages of data as they speed across their networks, routing those with a peer-to-peer signature into the equivalent of an Internet slow lane."
In my opinion this makes Bell and Rogers law breakers.
If they want to protect the bandwidth used they should expand it, otherwise; they are thieves by not providing what customers have paid for.
If on the other hand the CRTC or whatever regulatory body decides a specific protocol is illegal then let them find that way and declare that to the public.
With the price of oil going up, it is only a matter of time that the USA will uncap their reserves in Alaska. Hey!, wouldn't you do the same?,...it seems to cost $3 to bring up a barrel of oil and sell at $150 seems like a hell of a deal.
So spillages will undoubtedly increase in the future. Good thing we (actually MIT) have discovered this "Nanowire mesh."
Better a little too late than nothing ever.

If we could chip away at the world problems we might be able to save it from natural causes and ourselves yet.
Since 1492, through five centuries, the Ottoman sultans and the modern day Turkish Republic, welcomed the Jews and offered them a safe haven from persecution in the European countries. The Ottoman Empire at its zenith became one the largest empires in World History covering most of Mediterranean basin region extending from North Africa to Eastern Europe. It has been suggested that one of the characteristics that extended the domination of the Ottoman Empire was its allowance of religious freedom for the different nationalities and minorities under its rule. While many European nations expelled, persecuted or tried to convert the Jews under their dominion, the Turkish people of the Ottoman Empire, remained as an outstanding example of tolerance of different nationalities with different religions.

There is a Constitutional Challenge to the Canadian Human Rights Act underway to have section 13(1) taken out. If you're a Canadian you might consider:
Subject: Constitutional Challenge to the Canadian Human Rights
Act I'mvery surprisedabout how little I
knew about this issue and the dangers thereof, until brought to my
attention.Here is a link that explains it better than I
can. Let me know if you still have questions, though.http://www.freedomsite.org/legal/april30-08_letter_to_civil_liberties.html
Below you will find what I wrote, you may have
other arguments. The important thing is to write these people.
The
result of Marc Lemire's Constitutional Challenge could literally make or
break our fight against Section 13. It is IMPERATIVE that you email these
people, and get EVERYONE YOU KNOW to do it, too!
We can put an end to Section 13 without having to wait for
Parliament to wake up...but we have to act today!
Here is
the list of emails:
THE CANADIAN CIVIL LIBERTIES ASSOCIATION
A. ALAN BOROVOY, GENERAL COUNSEL
e-mail: mail@ccla.org
BC Civil Liberties Association
Jim Braunagel
e-mail: jim@bccla.org
PEN Canada

Your letter just has to ask them to "intervene as an interested party" in the Warman vs Lemire Constitutional Challenge of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
Make it short and sweet if you like...even two sentences, but PLEASE write!!!
Please send a letter to the CHRC asking for intervener status.
I want you to be an Interested Party on the Constitutional Challenge of Section 13.
TRIBUNAL FILE: T1073/5405
STYLE OF CAUSE: Richard Warman v. Marc Lemire on the grounds that this section violates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948] and should be removed from the Canadian Human Rights Act ( R.S., 1985, c. H-6 ) ...the Universal Declaration's Preamble:
"Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,"
The freedomsite.org quotes:
"Just to give you an insight into the mentality that permeates the Canadian Human Rights Commission, read the testimony of Dean Steacy. He is the lead investigator at the CHRC on internet cases (Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act)
MS KULASZKA: M r. Steacy, you were talking before about context and how important it is when you do your investigation. What value do you give freedom of speech when you investigate one of these complaints?
MR. STEACY: Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don't give it any value.
MS KULASZKA: Okay. That was a clear answer.
MR. STEACY: It's not my job to give value to an American concept.
Warman v. Lemire Transcripts, Volume 21, Page 4793 (2007/05/10)"
and Mr. Steacy's statement the "Freedom of speech is an American concept" should have in of itself declared him incompetent.

Take your IDE disk cable and cut it in half and then randomly solder all of the wires together and see how how well you can get data to and from the disk drive.

The U.S taxpayer pays over $30 million per day on care for spinal cord injury and only $68 million per year in a search for a cure. Common sense tells me that by taking away two days of our care and in its place use this money for a cure, time will inevitably be on our side.
