Not necessarily. I would be totally cool if (with the purchase of my DVD) it came with software to rip it in a format that suits my DRM enabled media player best. This means that only I can use it, I can't use it to distribute to the whole world. I'm totally fine with that because it fits in with the idea of Fair Use (because I still get to use it the way I want) and they still 'feel' better that it has some form of DRM on it. That's a win-win to me.
Very astute, but, if you had listened to the report, if such a thing occurred, it would prompt you for other identifying questions to prove your identity.
Shameless wikipedia article says that they already do: HD Radio stations must pay royalties each year to iBiquity, plus the costs paid by the manufacturers of the transmitters which are then passed along to the stations that buy them.
I did buy a new machine today, but I wiped Vista and put XP on it. HP didn't offer XP drivers for my particular model, but when you go peruse the drivers of earlier models of the same product family, there they are. Since the hardware is essentially the same, that's what I went for. The fact that I could 'downgrade' was the motivating factor in my purchase. I simply made a backup set of restore disks for the time that Vista is mature enough to use, and when that day arrives I install my 'free upgrade' to Vista.
What drives me crazy is when that manager tries to come and do dirty work and makes things worse, leaving us to clean up a bigger mess. Manager should stay on his side and let us earn the trust to make things work on our own.
From my perspective, it seems that many people almost disdain the idea of progress in culture and arts now.
Or is it just hard for us to admit that the majority of us trace our roots back to a European civilization that in many aspects was intellectually inferior to that which was at the time far superior.
...Which has been done before too. What you're saying is that the relationships between your photos and the meta data is *not* hierarchical, it's relational. As the founding fathers of the RDBMS discovered, relationships between data need to allow for more than one parental relationship, as in a many to many relation.
The usage of said VCR. My parents are one of those that own a VCR, but it does not get any usage. They were just talking about that this last weekend that they would probably get rid of it by donating it to Good Will or something like that because it has more usefulness as a tax write off that playing a video.
So, this study begs the question, of those that do own the VCR, how many actually still use it? I would dare say that it would be pretty scant because of the ubiquitousness and superiority of the DVD.
I'm not sure what is entailed by 'technician', but I'm assuming that they will need *at least* some troubleshooting skills. Even non technical ones. I remember when I got a job doing tech support and the preliminary interviewer asked me a question: "I'm thinking of a product in a grocery store, find out what it is in less than 15 questions."
They didn't care that I had any IT background; they could provide me the training to fix issues, but I needed first to have the skills to find out what they were. I would suggest following a similar pattern. You've got people with little experience, skills, and knowledge concerning the subject matter, but the basics of logical deduction will get you the most value as an employer.
Frameworks help decouple a lot of things. For example, instead of using M$ 'Atlas' Ajax framework which is not only a bugger to use but introduces a lot of unnecessary coupling, I use Anthem.NET. It takes the existing ASP.NET form tags and extends them. This produces 3 net effects: 1) I don't have to do the crap load of mundane javascript coding (Anthem.Net takes care of that), 2) Should javascript functionality be disabled on the client, the form objects revert back to their regular POST behavior (because of inheritance), and 3) Should I wish to strip out my AJAX functionality there are a lot less dependencies in my code.
If you go the Atlas route, you're looking for a load of trouble in any of those three scenarios.
at taming the Wild Wild Web. When are people going to learn that attempts at regulating the Net in one country do not really affect another. If such an incredulous bill were passed, I would be looking into taking my operation off shore. Too bad. Then you start driving honest businesses out of your country.
The Web is an ethereal place with no borders. Trying to apply geographic dominion over such a thing is a fruitless exercise since the population exists all over the planet.
I'm no advocate of kiddie porn, but this is just ridiculous.
A security freeze means that your credit history cannot be seen by potential creditors, insurance companies or employers doing background checks unless you give consent.
Gee, it isn't that way by default? I would expect that that information too would be safeguarded...
What are the credit implications for placing a freeze on that information? Does it affect credit scores in any way? If not, I would like to place one on my own, just for fact that I don't want anybody looking at that information without my consent...

That's what M$ wants everyone to believe and if that is the case, then they've already won.

The only vaporware that will give you bad breath.

In a few years.

I'm curious what the preemptive strategy would be?

What and have it *really* be "Knee Deep In the Dead"?
On an egg...
They will certainly not get into trouble for the purchase of stolen goods, and if they do, any reasonable judge would automatically acquit them.
Unless eBay was being used to launder them...
I'm preemptively adding it to my list of Vaporware 2007-2009

By the same token, how many sequel movies have been made but clearly shouldn't have been? I'd like my money back from them too.
Oh well...

You've got a deal. Free would be nice, but not bad considering I can call anywhere anytime for that much...

I personally like octopodes.
Not only that but $299*2 of worthlessness.
