Sort of, that's where eponymous words come into play, and you're not likely to get a trademark for a term that's already in use. Hence why you see all these stupid misspelled signs. They couldn't get a trademark for the name with its proper spelling so they misspelled it and there you go.
But, you can't trademark your birth name, such things are eponymous. I'm always a bit shocked at the lack of competence in some of these trademark applications. Even with a trademark, DidGlennBeckRapeAndMurderAYoungGirlIn1990.com would still be referencing Glenn Beck and ought to be permissible under trademark law. A more reasonable method to get it taken down would be libel, but even then I don't think they really could as it's a question rather than an assertion. Not sure what the content on the site itself was like that would figure into it.
Yeah, if it's a sizable prize it can be worthwhile, but most of the time they're giving out trinkets in exchange for a potentially large amount of wasted effort. The fame is really the only worthwhile prize from some of these competitions. And even then you'd be better off just giving the product away or selling it after you've finished it.
That's what they're hoping for. I'm fortunate enough to live in a state where the insurance commissioner has to approve rate increases. Which means that when an insurance company wants to raise premiums they have to provide the commissioner's office with the data that shows that it's reasonable from an actuarial stand point. Fortunately, this is now much more widespread as of the beginning of the year now that all insurance companies have to spend at least 80% of their premiums on care or improving the health of the customers and 85% for those issuing group policies. Unless they can demonstrate why they can't do it.
It's going to take a while for these measures to make an impact on health insurance costs, but it will eventually fix the problem when taken with the other changes.
In most of the country they make you fill out an extensive questionnaire. Around here it's pretty complicated and is designed to flunk ~10% of the applicants into the high risk pool. Which sounds bad, but up until now it was the only way that the state could guarantee that everybody could get access to health insurance. Previously some people couldn't get coverage no matter how much they were willing to pay. Now they just have to figure out where to get the money, which is not easy to do with the high risk pool.
But how common is that? This is more or less the first time I've ever heard about that, more generally if you're taking care of yourself the only reward is possible good health in the future, even as you subsidize the care for people that don't care about how they take care of themselves. People who have genetic risk factors benefiting doesn't bother me at all.
You mean or using internet based services, right? Sure you can do dual stack, but as services move to IPv6 you're going to have to start worrying about whether a key service that you use is going to be going IPv6 only.
That's been my thought for quite some time. The problem with NAT isn't that it's NAT it's that it's an N:M mapping. With IPv6 you can do an N:N mapping and do the adjustments at the border. It's not ideal, but it's hardly unreasonable, and probably a decent way of making the transition in those situations.
Because finding mock explosives is a lot harder than finding the real thing. Usually what they do is take a material and rub it up against a small amount of explosive, like say a little bit of black powder or rub it against a bit of TNT to get the chemicals on it. So, the material itself isn't going to explode no matter how careless you are with it, but there's still chemicals from the explosive on it for the mice to identify.
What are you talking about? They won't replace dogs in that capacity, but there's plenty of areas like investigating IEDs or looking for mines or crawling in places that a dog can't fit where these are going to be quite useful. I don't personally see why the obsession with replacing things is so prevalent, why can't it just be a complementary option?
This is similar to work that's been done with rodents being used to detect landmines. The animals themselves are light enough that they can stand on the mines without detonating them, and use their sense of smell to locate and alert the handler as to the location of the ordinance. Move over sniffer dogs, here come Africa’s rats
Strictly speaking, the models and thing necessary to run an app are usually included with the license for the source. In this case though the developers opted not to do that, which is their right. And personally, I think that it's a reasonable compromise given that the main interest people had was in the ability to use the engine, patch bugs in the future and port the game to other platforms.
Why would it affect the public opinion? Apple would have to arrange refunds for those that bought the fraudulent app and they'd have their money back. Apple is after all somewhat responsible in this case. It's not like the android market where Google wouldn't be responsible until somebody notified them about it, Apple does screen apps before they enter the store.
I tried gamefly, and quite frankly it sucked. I live in WA state and it would routinely take over a week for a game to make its way from their warehouse to my house. Which isn't too bad if I'm playing a game for most of the month, but if I found that I didn't like a game, I would be without a game for nearly half the month.
Steam isn't a rental service though. It is a rental service in that they can revoke at any time your ability to play those games, but they don't sell games on a time limited basis. You can get a demo for some games, but you don't have the option to rent or play all the games you like in a given month.
That being said, I really don't see how Steam is anywhere near an appropriate analogy for Netflix.
According to who is onLive a failure? I've been using it, I've got a couple games and the miniconsole and it works just fine. It's only going to get better as time goes by. I hear a lot of people claiming that it failed, but the subscription figures keep increasing and it's still able to pay the bills.
Personally, I do have a hard time using it, but mainly because Qwest sucks. Comcast isn't any better when it comes to latency, but that's going to improve over time. Even now it's quite playable and for those that are concerned with cheaters in their multiplayer games, it's more or less impossible to cheat.
That hasn't been the case for quite some time. The base maintenance was eliminated some months ago and they've got both a single game rental system and an all you can eat plan for multiple games.
I really wish people would double check these sorts of things before spreading those views, because it's not accurate at this point and is somewhat less than helpful.
Gamefly sucks. You have to buy an expensive console then wait for at least a week between games. Sure if you're living in areas that they're taking seriously the wait isn't that long, but the period that I subscribed it was an average of a week for a game to get from them to me.
Also, there isn't any lag significant enough to cause problems, the requirements they have ensure that it's perfectly playable. The only times I've had problems with it have been right before the connection drops due to the ISP not being able to give decent latency.
You should keep current. They don't charge anything any more unless you want more than a trial of the game. They're charging $9.99 a month for unlimited play on a select number of games, and include service for those that want to buy a game from them.
What you're saying is what they said at launch, but as of late last year they were able to balance their books and provide service without making everybody pay a maintenance fee. OnLive: Just Play for Free!
Yes, but what was the cost of the console you used to play those games? For the cost of a PS3 at launch you'd get 5 years or so of play for that. With the more recent revisions you'd still get something like 30 months or so of play for that. And that's assuming you just buy the unit, the costs of the games are obviously going to increase that.
So, I'm failing to see any actual savings there versus renting via onLive.
LOL, well yeah I misspoke, I meant that I'd hold off my judgment about flashing the next firmware until I get confirmation. And I'll not be buying any more of their products due to the other things that we know they've done, as in taking away the otheros feature and removing features from more recent editions.
The most important feature of IPv6 is a much larger address space than in IPv4. The size of IPv6 addresses is 128 bits, compared to 32 bits in IPv4. The address space therefore supports 2^128 or approximately 3.4×10^38 addresses. By comparison, this amounts to approximately 5×10^28 addresses for each of the 6.8 billion people alive in 2010.
It's not going to be exhausted anytime soon, and the shear number of devices that you'd need to exhaust that would be completely unimaginable. And not in the sense that we failed to imagine how many devices would be connected, but that would be more than every singe possession that everybody owns having multiple addresses whether or not they contain any circuitry.
I don't know about that. Qwest has yet to even offer an open beta for that yet. And while I see references to them doing it, I can't help but think that they'll wait to provide it with their fiber, which is to say only when Google or the city decides to bring fiber in to compete with them and starts actually laying fiber.

To be fair, sleeping with a Palin is always a mistake, so I'm guessing he wasn't bright enough to no better.

It's idiomatic in nature, as is most of the language. Or are you one of those people who gets asked out and immediately leaves the room?
