It's quite interesting that I've been using gmail and google maps on a T-Mobile branded v360 since before this article was written. Hell, I'll even tether it to the laptop for an internet connection if I'm really bored . . .
At least I wasn't the only one who felt the GSM reference seemed completely unsupported. While I know what GSM is, I have no personal familiarity with the GSM stack or how it has anything to do with restrictions on the use of digital content in computers. Why can't the author explain those things? Simple journalism: who, what, where, why, how.
Well, according to the article, fewer than 1200 people constitute the actual "class" represented (about 1150 Washington State residents). While over $700 000 in legal fees certainly seems quite excessive -- I'm willing to bet that any attorneys involved are actually salaried, and paying for 50 000 hours of law clerks' time on this case would be completely irresponsible -- money paid to the state actually should help all Washington residents by ever-so-slightly reducing their required taxes.
Population density certainly has a lot to do with a carrier's ability to charge more or less in certain areas. For instance, the United Kingdom and Japan serve about 250 mobile phones per square kilometer, while the Unites States only serves 23 (CIA World Factbook). In effect, a provider needs to cover more than ten times the area in the United States to reach the same number of users in the United Kingdom or Japan.
But there has to be actual parody to uphold. Outright claiming the man sodomized llamas and spent time in jail isn't parody unless his past indicates some sort of association with llamas, jail, et cetera. Otherwise, it's simply slander. And that sure looks like slander.
If you come in with third year standing as a math major, that certainly could help one do this anywhere. The 72 AP credits would certainly help him not have to worry about getting into the overcrowded lower level courses and a third/fourth year standing might allow him to register before the classes become full.
My Gamecube isn't currently connected, but it previously was (the video connector is still plugged into the display, if not the console), even though it's far from being capable of outputting 1080p.
(8) if it includes any use of encryption, provides that the encryption algorithm is usable on a royalty-free, nondiscriminatory manner in perpetuity, and is documented so that anyone in possession of the appropriate encryption key or keys is able to write 2.20 software to unencrypt the data.
I'm fairly confident that this section cannot successfully be complied with. US federal law already codifies compulsive discrimination in the use and dissemination of encryption.
Sanctioned by what? The IT department? And is that sanctioned or allowed? There's a big difference between a non-academic, infrastructure support department permitting a staff member to use a large amount of bandwidth and an academic college sponsoring an open research challenge. Until such can be clarified, attributing this occurance to the University is exceedingly disingenius and misleading.
Like hell. Most hardcore Linux users I know have a Powerbook.
And? I presume most people who make comments like that have some knowledge of logic. Unless "most hardcore Linux users [you] know," qualify as typical Mac OSX users -- perhaps we can have some indication that they number well into the millions -- it's completely useless to even consider the apparent implication that hardcore Linux users possess computer security knowledge.
But not when there's a gap of two years between. According to the CDC, 95% of 10 year old boys are taller than half of the 8 year old girls, and half of all 10 year old boys are taller than 95% of 8 year old girls.
Do you even know what a profit margin is? Clearly you don't understand the concept of profit -- which EBIT (and its buddy EBITDA) aims to undermine. Profit is the net earnings AFTER taxes are paid. Even before taxes, the company sees less than a 6% monetary gain on their investment; rather poor margins. Random House may actually lose money after taxes!
It seems he knew exactly how to prevent Google's caching of his pages, yet decided not to disallow it. In fact, the ruling seems to indicate that he submitted his site to Google and created his copyrighted works in order to bring about this lawsuit.
Have they ever actually gone after someone for simply downloading? Although their rhetoric would lead one to believe otherwise, suits filed have all been against those who have shared (uploaded) files. Without the actual briefs, I assume that this line is being followed because the RIAA identified songs, in a lawsuit, for which no evidence of actual distribution exists.
That's entirely because a moves cannot be copyrighted: they are only facts. Facts are legally free for the taking and there is nothing illegal in failing to cite a source for facts.
"The objects in the scene that were stationary photographed normally, while the objects that were moving were twisted and distorted into wonderful shapes. At first, I thought that this was a mistake, that something was wrong with my new contraption."
He can't be serious. He goes through all the trouble of constructing a method for scanning the real world and doesn't even realize the fact that he's going to have an incredibly long, non-uniform exposure? Does he lack a fundamental grasp on how scanners and photography work?
But writing an algorithm on one's own has certain advantages, not the least of which being free of the GPL. Whether you can actually trust the data from wikipedia on which code is based . . . that's another story.

nope, you're not the only one.

Sounds illegal to me.

Why would a penguin wield a pitchfork?

You actually think the car stunt was practical?

It seems quite obvious that, with DRM available to potential Linux vendors, a fully legal DVD player might just be produced.
