It's too bad they don't still produced it or support it. The CIT400 is a great little phone, and when I moved across the world I got one for the folks and I. Now with smartphones and skype being everywhere, it's less of a necessity, it's still a handy phone for it's dual mode operation.
Not at all. Enemies will know it's a camera and try to destroy it. Booby trap it so that if they try to crush it, it explodes, or fill it with explosives and have a remote trigger. Throw it in, grab a few pictures, then detonate if there are no friendlies in range.
The problem is that people have the idea that photojournalists are dodging gunfire to take shots as they happen. When a lot of people see these pictures they expect there is a camera man hiding under a burned out car with a zoom lens taking these photos of action as it is happening.
They recently deleted my account. After not having used it for a few years, I started getting several messages about old comments and reports I'd made being deleted, then I got a message saying my account would be deleted as well.
They kind of lost a lot of credibility with me when they insisted I make good on my pledge to buy a copy of the program when some random person claimed to have gotten my requested app to run. Except you couldn't open, work with, or save any files, and no one verified the report. But hey, give us your money now!
so you could never race it or breed other racehorses from it.
Because what? The police would arrest you? The racing overlords would have you killed? What would stop anyone from setting up a competing race with their own rules?
Actually they are often instructed on what is and isn't legal for liability purposes. Property owners would face lawsuits if security guards were just winging it as that would be very likely to end badly.
On private property in Canada, a property owner who allows public access can remove that with a warning. Even if there are no posted signs about no-photography a security guard can tell you to stop taking pictures or leave the property. If you took another picture at that point you would be trespassing and and since that is an indictable offence they could actually arrest you at that point and hold you for the police.
Private property is very different from the sidewalk, and in fact it isn't the photography that is illegal. It's the fact that you're trespassing.
I would actually argue that books are currently way underpriced. A new release of a movie gives you two hours of enjoyment for $20
Whatever point you were trying to make was wasted by that statement. It's a pretty tired old statement that really ignores dozens of factors and really isn't remotely relevant. Why is a movie the benchmark? I could go to the country fair all day for $3. By that logic a movie is seriously over priced. Movies are overpriced though. But you'd claim the county fair is under priced.
The servers aren't in italy..end of story. While editors in italy might potentially be in trouble, this law has zero impact on the italian wikipedia staying up or down.
I think the problem was you were spending $120/month on cable.
Last time I had satellite I had 3 receivers setup and it only cost $40/month with more channels then I could watch and it included everything I wanted.
This is an awful mess. I can't find anything. Stories are all out of order. I like to log-on and scroll back until I see a story I recognize and catch up and check out anything interesting. Now things are all over the place, we're forced into top stories (which I've always considered useless and never used) and there doesn't seem to be any way to change it or opt out. Taking away choice is never a good thing.
Google's personalization as a result of creating a google+ account is just terrible.
Despite creating my account in Canada, using it for years in Canada, I added Google+ to my account while I'm living in Korea. This immediately broke my news archive searches. They would only search Korean language papers in Korea, they wouldn't even search any of the major English language Korean papers in Korea. my account was fully set to English, and I even went through and purged all mention of Korea from my profile, no change. Logged out my searches were fine. I encountered a google employee on here a few weeks back who said he'd submit a bug report
I was just doing a google news archive search (logged out) this morning, and suddenly I'm getting nothing..only korean results. Yet I'm logged out. Great they must have added some kind of persistent cookie to screw with me I thought. This is despite being at the Canadian portal, google.ca and having clicked the button to "Serve me in English". I logged in to try clearing any residual cookies (log in then out) but upon logging in, suddenly I was getting full english archive search.
They reversed the behaviour. Logged in, I get proper archive searches, logged out, now suddenly I can't search the archives of any English news source from Korea. Absolutely stellar. This is the kind of work I'd expect from some start-up being run by one guy in his basement that doesn't quite have a full grasp on what he's doing. The result of this is anyone who travels to Korea will not be able to do a proper news search in Korea unless they've logged into google+. Business traveller? Don't have google+, hope you don't need to look up an old news report while you're here.
the fact that this story is 2 years old is rather relevant..it's not like google is taking both actions at the same time.. apparently timothy must have gotten mod points..
That's not how it works. The real name is only attached to the back-end, not what people see. Even then, this story is 2 years old and the government here is moving away from it in a sense. They're now encouraging the use of the real name system through a proxy. Your first create an ID at another site, you then use that ID to sign-up at the target site. At some point your ID is verified, but not on the main site. They won't have your identity to reveal, but it still allows them to permanently ban trolls.
We're looking for legislation that basically stops online piracy and illegal file sharing
Legislation just stops nothing. Criminals will do whatever they want.
Last I checked, murder is nailed down pretty well and it still happens every day.
Exactly what kind of legislation do they think they could enact that would "stop" online piracy?
Perhaps something of the nature "If the movie industry even thinks you've shared one byte of a pirated movie they're entitled to schedule a predator strike on your house" might work, and I probably shouldn't have given them the idea.

aren't you edgy. I bet you got a barbed wire tattoo too right?

Right, I was thinking of Crossover. it's been a few years.
my account from the appdb was deleted though.
I got no such e-mail from them.

if polaroid makes a camera with an SD card slot, then it already exits.. The eye-fi wifi SD Card.

Same in Korea. Every kid in grade 1 and up have a phone around their neck. Mostly for tracking.

Facebook has had circles in the form of lists for a long time. Lists are not that different from circles really.

This is pathetic really.
2 year old stories, slashvertisements for plastic toys, there really isn't anywhere to go but up at this point.
I might as well get equally as relevant tech news from TMZ.
Actually in Korea they have a history of wearing special masks while criticizing the government..
the fact that this story is 2 years old is rather relevant..it's not like google is taking both actions at the same time..

keep in mind this story is 2 years old.
Timothy has apparently taken leave of his senses.
Google did this over two years ago..seriously slashdot.. I know you're usually behind but this is embarrassing.
Wow timothy you are really clueless aren't you?
Cmdrtaco must be spinning in his grave.
This is extremely easy to bypass, just set your location to another country, done, you can upload and comment just fine.
Because..well.. who knows why..
and yet for some reason it gives me messages about learning English in Russia..thanks but no thanks.
