Last I checked, in the US at least, one could have a copyright in ones pen name, so I'm not really sure why there would be something special about using a CC license.
Whenever I see a site that bars free email addresses from sign ups, I interpret that as them not wanting my business. I've learned from past experience not to use an ISP email address as the don't let you keep it when you change ISPs. Likewise for school email and anything which I have to maintain something in order to keep. I'll log in periodically to maintain an account, but that's it.
Services that require one of those special addresses aren't doing themselves any favors.
Rights are not typically unlimited. My right to swing my fist ends at your nose. But, I do still have a right to swing my fist even though it could potentially hit somebody. I can say what I like so long as it isn't slanderous or fraudulent etc.
The second amendment is a really, really bad example as it wasn't ever ratified and the language itself even if it had been ratified is such that it means a lot of conflicting things depending upon whom you ask.
The lawsuit has just been filed and the judge has allowed it, we won't know until the conclusion of the proceedings whether it would have applied to AT&T. If Google wins the suit then it's a moot point as far as AT&T goes.
If you're doing that properly, it's an open AP that only allows a connection to their website via SSL, and any traffic elsewhere gets tunneled to the router. Just because most coffee shops don't bother to hire a consultant to do it correctly does not make it a reasonable way of doing it.
Right, unlike giving a key to the neighbors for safe keeping or leaving your door open, a person that happens upon an open AP has no way of knowing that the user intends for it to be private. However, if I leave the door to my house unlocked, it's still trespassing to open the door without my permission and go inside.
If you type "sniff wireless traffic" into duckduckgo, the first result is a tutorial related to, you guessed it, sniffing network traffic with wireshark. That's about as trivial as it gets.
You're splitting hairs in such a way that defies reason. If the constitution says that Congress can't restrict something, I think it's a perfectly reasonable basis for claiming that there's a right involved, certainly more reasonable that claiming that there isn't.
Assembly line music was literally what Motown used to run on. One person to teach the singing, one to teach the dancing, one to teach interacting with fans etc.
Because it's extra money for something that I don't want. Additionally, because the laptop comes preloaded with that software it's a lot harder to get it serviced if by some chance you manage to get them to refund your money.
Windows isn't free, it's $90 or so that goes to MS that I can't readily get back. And some hardware vendors won't let you return just the OS either.
Pretty much any genre of creation based upon personal taste is going to have some sort of a formula that's pure lowest common denominator. The more likely explanation is that it's what record execs think will sell and consequently it's what they push. Way too often the songs that get popular get popular because they're frequently played, not because they're good.
It used to be extremely unusual for songs on the radio to break out of a standard format and going beyond 2 minutes wasn't typically done.
People flock to Windows 7 because they can't get Windows XP, don't want Vista, OSX or Linux. Given that MS stopped selling XP and that 7 is the only choice most people are willing to consider they would have had to work really hard to screw it up.
Personally, I hate that MS is allowed to get it's OS bundled with computers. I shouldn't have to buy a Mac or over pay for a poor quality bit of hardware to avoid having to give them money.
If the consumers are that stupid they deserve it. The problem though is that companies like AT&T don't offer plans that don't include the phone. Meaning that you can use your own phone, but they just pocket the cost of the phone. Meanwhile none of the carriers permit you to get 3G with a phone that wasn't designed for their network. With Verizon and Sprint refusing to activate any phones that don't have their logo on them even if it's an identical model.
Well for one thing, most people aren't required to have cell phones in order to have a job. And for another, cell coverage is hardly the only issue at play when living in France and working in SPain.
Crashplan allows you to back up to a local HDD as well as to their data centers, and automatically, all you need is a connection and your computer to be turned on. It's a hell of a lot easier than managing and tracking DVDs.
How often does your average American leave the state? I don't personally consider that to be a major concern when I leave the state so infrequently. The bigger issue is the shit service around town.
The fact that I can't get decent coverage in a major city is an absolute embarrassment. And As for ISPs, Qwest apparently has written off much of Seattle in terms of upgrades deeming 1.5mbps to be fast enough. Same basic problem, shit regulation and a company that's figured out that it's cheaper to not bother to invest in infrastructure due to a lack of competition and regulation making them do it.
The reason why it's more likely is that they don't want to compete. When you've got an oligopoly, it's advantageous to compete as minimally as possible. With T-mobile out of the picture, there would be no reason to continue to provide an unlimited plan. Unlimited plans certainly aren't any more profitable than ones with limits. They could just set the included amount somewhat higher than AT&T and pocket the extra money that they aren't having to spend on bandwidth costs.
Sure, it's somewhat fallacious to suggest that it's inevitable, but I'd be very surprised if it didn't play out like that just after Verizon buys Sprint in order to remain competitive.
People have been working on increasing the cost and decreasing the reward from spamming for some time now. From discouraging people from buying from spam messages to grey listing, to shutting down botnets, all of that has been largely for the purposes of making it less attractive to spam.
I'm just a bit surprised that it's starting to have an effect, it's hard to compete with basically free server capacity and bandwidth.
Indeed, I've got a dual core Zacate clocked at 1.6ghz, and I'm not having any performance problems, even when I unplug and start working cordless. Sure it can get hot and the battery life sucks when I turn it all the way up, but the entire laptop maxes out at about 25 watts.
In fact, the next time my folks are in need of a new computer, I'll probably recommend that they go with whatever equivalent is available at that time. Apart from gamers and people that regularly engage in computationally stressful tasks, most folks don't need any more power.
Yes, but this is hardly the correct solution. The correct solution would be to fix the system so that one can't just pay whatever one wants for attorneys even if the amount is grossly disproportionate to what the other side can afford.

The weather in Burma is quite warm this time of year.
Ah, but it isn't yet time for shorts.
Seems like it's not that hard to do.

The TSA does NOTHING but waste our money, and it needs to go away - NOW.
The TSA is a jobs program for pedophile pervs that spend too much time thinking about the children.

As long as there's a huge number of bumpkins that fall for it, why bother to stop?

I'm watching the development of Open CL fairly closely, because it's probably going to end up making or breaking Llano in the long run.
