Are you saying HDMI actively strips the closed captioning from the video feed? That is evil.
more like, passively strips. I guess.
Somehow over the air HD channels can send captioning through a digital only signal, but HDMI cannot/doesn't. I've never been able to understand the distinction.
This could be a very simple process - the business would charge whatever the sales tax rate is for where it is headquartered
This would just get every online business "headquarted" (with a PO box and an accountant) in Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire or Oregon. The states with no sales tax.
He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round Perdition's flames before I give him up!
Ironically, the primary site for which I really need a faster Javascript engine is Slashdot. For a heavily-commented article I switch to Chrome.
Is chrome the only broswer that has problems with the idle.slashdot comment thread. It anytime I try to open a closed comment, it refreshes the page and only gives me the comment, it doesn't expand the comment inline like it does in a normal comment thread.
I've always been to lazy to try other broswers.
I second this.
My closed captioning disappeared on me. It took a lot of time to find the secret hidden combination on my cable box to enable them. All because they don't pass CC info across the cable, or the spec, or something.
You'd be surprised what an older G5 desktop sells for on the used market. Any software dev that supports PowerPC apps needs testing machines, and dev boxes. Faster PowerPCs like G5s are in demand out there.
There's the whole visited link color issue.
basically the page can see the tell what the color of a link is, and if the color is the "visited link" color, you know the user visits that page.
so the page puts up a bunch of urls, checks to see which of the URLs are in the visited link color, They now know which sites you have visited somewhat recently.
Apple is complaining that Nokia isn't offering the Standards based cell phones on Reasonable and Nondiscriminatory basis? Isn't Nokia required to do that as part of submitting those patents as part of the GSM standard.
It stated that in the lawsuit that nokia wanted a patent cross-license agreement with apple for the rights to the GSM patents. That's not reasonable and nondiscriminatory.
They already have access to jailbreaked phones. If they are going to do something this nefarious intentionally, they aren't going to care if hacking iphones is illegal.
Last November [2000], a Congressional aide named Mitch Glazier, with the support of the RIAA, added a "technical amendment" to a bill that defined recorded music as "works for hire" under the 1978 Copyright Act.
He did this after all the hearings on the bill were over. By the time artists found out about the change, it was too late. The bill was on its way to the White House for the president's signature.
That Mitch Glazier, the congresional aide? now an RIAA lobbyist
It certainly wasn't an accident.
I've never understood why they just didn't fix that.

Yes it does. I suggest you learn something about HDMI and digital video in general.
And yet, for years I'm unable to get closed captioning to work across an HDMI cable between various tv's, cable boxes, and DVD players.
HDMI supports FULL closed captioning, It has supported it since it supported video.
HDMI supports NO closed captioning, and it hasn't supported it since ever.
Have they fixed the lack of closed captioning in HDMI? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Except, insurance (generally) doesn't cover them. Mine surely didn't.
According to wikipedia, they where bought by Maxtor in 2001, then Maxtor was bought by Seagate in 2005.
HDNet showed it a lot recently, but they show movies in cycles.
Sooner or later you will have to let go.

Targeted at business users but called a playbook, eh? Seems like an odd name for that.

or some early parts of it (download on the same page). That seems even more interesting to me.

I got excited for a minute because I thought the header read "Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Babies".
That would have been interesting.
So, Windows 7 is still killing babies?
They haven't denied it yet.

Aren't works for hire generally owned by whoever is paying... City pays contractor for work, city owns the work, not the contractor.

I've never understood why books are (C) Author, and music is (C) Publisher

I have no idea what I'm saying.
isn't there a -1 joke was way to obvious? (to be fair it was the first thing I thought of too)
Which is weird, because in the Wisconsin case, the officers had a warrant. The judges there said it wasn't needed!
All right! Wait, is this The april fool thread?
