The editors no longer write or read anything. They just cut and paste. Submitters no longer write anything, they just copy the first paragraph or two of an article. I swear that some days all of the articles are probably just submitted by a very short perl script.
Come on, America, at least move onto GSM. Now that it's all being ripped out and replaced with 3G there's a lot of GSM hardware on the second-hand market. It's not even expensive.
You do know that the 3G you are referring to is also known as Wideband CDMA or W-CDMA, right?
They are offering the mp3's for free... Did someone tell Birsmarck about all the money he's losing?
Might as well use mp3s since you're going to digitize it anyway. I'm telling you, there's no way digital interpretation of the medium can faithfully reproduce the warm, rich feel that you get from the original analog recordings.
It may be against the stadium rules. That I don't know. But it isn't against the law.
Both the NFL and CIB, who manages Lucas Oil Stadium, have banned firearms from the stadium. It is one of the terms you agree to when you purchase a ticket. Bring a firearm with you and you will be turned away at the outer gate.
Why should a content publisher have the right to make content available in one country, but then take steps to block third parties from exporting that content to another country (eg region restrictions etc)?
You don't see that happen with physical goods, there's nothing to stop me purchasing a laptop in china and either bringing it with me or having it shipped, and for digital data that can and should be even easier.
Incorrect. This is done all of the time with physical goods at the supply chain level. As a quick example, pilot pens makes a basic fine point rollerball pen that I really like. Pilot has distributors in the US, but they do not distribute this particular model there. It is only distributed to their Japanese market.
Plenty of pirates only pirate because they have no legal option to acquire the content. Sometimes its not available on DVD/Blu-Ray (or digital stream/download) in their country. Sometimes its a TV show that has yet to be picked up by any local TV network (or where the local network is 3 seasons
behind or something).
Having no legal means to obtain something in their location, illegal means are therefore justified.
Sometimes its available on a streaming service but the streaming service has DRM (or restrictions) that means they cant watch it on a mobile device or on a TV. Or maybe its a sporting event they want to watch but cant because its blacked out on their local station.
Having no legal means to obtain something in their location, illegal means are therefore justified.
Sometimes the only way to get the content is to spend huge sums of money on other content they dont want and have no interest in (this is common with various cable providers and premium channel packages)
Having insufficient financial means to obtain something, illegal means are therefore justified.
If I could buy some of these documentaries on DVD at a reasonable price (or better yet, pay something even less to rent the DVD or streaming copy) I would do so. But the option is unavailable to me.
Having insufficient financial means to obtain something, illegal means are therefore justified.
Does that about sum it up? Sorry, but pirating something because you feel you are somehow "entitled" to it does not cut it.
I'm a bit confused. If the exemption was approved in July 2010 and it lasts for three years, shouldn't it be good until July 2013? Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves a little bit here?
In fact, autonomous cars could be *LESS* susceptible to the problem than people are, since they must consider local environmental factors as taking priority over any other data it might have (because things like other cars, emergency vehicles or operations, or pedestrians will not be on any map or direction data, and an autonomous car must navigate correctly in the presence of such conditions).
False local environmental data will be the attack vector. If you can convince the autonomous system that authorities have closed the road ahead and update the route with the "official" detour, then you can control where the vehicle goes. This will be no different than the current real time traffic data that GPS systems use. It would not be difficult to transmit fake data and detour people onto a different route. I don't believe that the protocol provides any form of authentication.
Warrants take too long, so instead they arrest them for anything, dangerous driving or whatever they make up, then they get hours to search the car as slowly and thoroughly as they wish, no warrant needed.
They're not searching the car, they are conducting an inventory of its contents in conjunction with impound proceedings. Searching would be illegal without a warrant and probable cause.
Call me nuts, but I have a friend, who lives in a much less densely populated country than the US, but has good cell coverage anyway, and pays $4/month. And no, it isn't a 3rd world country.
1. You're nuts. (hey, you asked me to.)
2. Your friend's country is likely smaller that at least 50% of the states in the US. In terms of square miles I would guess that it is less than 1%, and maybe not even 0.1%. That's a lot of ground to cover with infrastructure.
Their are some types of Guns that are illegal, ( automatic weapons) because it is almost impossible to use them for legal purposes ( other then perhaps target practice if you are someone who enjoys that kind of thing)
Automatic weapons (and silenced weapons) are not illegal per se, at least not in the US. You still have to pass a background check and you have to pay the appropriate taxes, but other than that...
That air gapped system requires much more skill, patience, and dedication, along with some kind of feedback, than zit-face can possibly muster.
Exactly. This means that the only attacks you will get will be something like Stuxnet. It will be specifically targeted at your system and it will not be displaying a laughing face on your monitor. It will probably reverse the pump that sends fresh potable water into the sludge tanks.
but then comes the first question: how would one actually accomplish this feat, i.e. to "approach" google.<sic>
Well, you could start with the whois data for the domain. Alternately you used to be able to email abuse@example.domain.com and get a reasonable reply or at least a contact point.
Same about the young kids with high level PHD's and degrees.
Now if some kind was high along in some kind of a IT apprenticeship then it's a big deal but the degrees over real work and tech school is wrong with IT today.
CS does not give the skills to do IT work and it's to long in a class room for IT any ways and that some leads to people rolling software / ideas / plans with the knowledge of working with at user end and up.
theory does help but CS is over loaded with with. Some cert tests are some what theory / way off base from the real work place. Other cert tests can be done by people who are good test takes.
Your post might carry a bit more weight if you would slow down, check your spelling, and do a bit of proof reading. As it is you appear to be semi-literate at best. No one will take you seriously if they can't even understand what it is that you have written.
What I want to know is when are they going to start pursuing libraries for their egregious practice of making available copyrighted works for any Tom, Dick or Harry that happens to walk through the door. Each time a book is checked out it could have been copied so that's another violation right there. It's time to start cracking down on these serial offenders. Persecution shouldn't be too difficult either. I hear that they keep detailed records of each time a copyrighted work is lent out and potentially duplicated. My understanding is that they even collect money for this sometimes. This sort of thing has to stop before our entire civilization descends into anarchy and chaos. Won't someone think of the children?
They may be actually waking up, or maybe someone showed them the
article on Techdirt that seems to indicate a flaw in the plan. The author of the Techdirt article believes that since SOPA/PIPA are targeted at foreign sites and the registrars for.com and org are US companies, SOPA/PIPA are actually not applicable. It may be that the desired "amendment" is to try and patch this loophole.
I agree. Working in an MRI environment, some people have piercings in the usual places (genital area, nipple) and then discreetly ask one person accompanying them something about it but not mention it on their screening forms.
I assume you can guess what is pierced from the pitch of their screaming?
I may not remember correctly, but doesn't Office 2007 and above have an option where you can set what time to enable/disable the out of office message? That would seem to cover this patent. When was the application made?
Started with D&D, moved over to The Fantasy Trip and played that for a number of years. Hell, I helped out some friends who started Jersey Devil Game Company. Used to beta test games, and then help with shrinkwrapping and distribution. I even started designing the computer version of Silo 14 (one of their games). Those were the days (sniff!)...
Someone else who remember TFT! I still have the rulebooks for Melee and Wizard from Metagaming. Unfortunately I don't have the hex boards and pieces. Car Wars, Ogre, GEV, WarpWar, and Chitin 1 FTW. My friends and I lived on Metagaming's pocket microgames back in the day.
That's the point. The government wants everyone to be felons. It gives them license to pick on whoever they want, any time they want. This is of course perfectly fine for most Americans who are so stupid as to think that selective enforcement will never apply to them. Everyone is in such denial about our government being evil, that they're happy to continue pretending that it's not. In less than 10 years we'll be in another war where we'll kill another 100,000 non-combatants and call it freedom.
Give me six lines written by the most honorable of men, and I will find an excuse in them to hang him.

No child left behind sure made grades more comparable. For the price of dumbing down the curriculum to the point where the kids we get out of it are by no means close to what they could be. By artificially lowering the bar, sure, we managed that everyone's a winner... or more exactly, that the brighter kids are the losers. They could have gotten an education worth the name instead. Now all they have is an education that is on par with the lowest common denominator. If it had been coupled with a gifted handup program, we could talk, but alas, that would be against the ideals of NCLB, making everyone equal.
