So your point is, the iPad is worse because iPad devs are actually rewriting their UIs to take advantage of the new controls available, and to take advantage of more screen real estate, and this is stupid, while Droid devs are using the same UI on every resolution, and treating all devices the same, and this is somehow better?
So the bandwidth is only limited by the amount that AT&T is willing to invest in its network. The problem is that they seem to be refusing to do that, yet still willing to sell higher speeds that they apparently can't deliver.
It is easier to make that argument with the level of the caps given in the story here. However, a cap by itself is not, especially if it is set to low as to discourage use. Such as the caps Time Warner was trying to roll out a few years ago.
oh, thanks, I needed that this morning. Thinking there's actually competition in the broadband space, especially among service providers which can adequately stream Netflix, let alone in HD.
There should be a fund that BOTH sides have to place all the money they intend to spend on a case and then the money is split evenly between both sides for lawyer fees.
Won't work. Each side will end up giving like $5. It wouldn't be in your interest to put any money in the pot.
If its always, then if you are poor, you still can't afford to take the risks of legal action, especially against corporate lawyers who probably cost more than you make in a decade.
Unfortunately, nobody has come up with a system that is significantly better. Loser pays is something that often comes up, but that has the same effect of dissuading lower income people from taking action, particularly against bigger companies that can send wave after wave of corporate lawyers after them. You could suggest some kind of "Socialized Law", where the state would provide you with legal representation, but aside from criminal defense, this isn't all that feasible either.
Well, in cases like this one, I would first write to the ACLU, the EFF, the Center for Democracy and Technology, and any other group that has an interest in defending rights, especially technology related ones. However, if those appeals all failed, I'd probably be looking at a 5 or 6 figure expense for legal services, which I may or may not get back. On top of possibly having to pay damages.
Sucky. The local libraries in places where I've lived (Medium town South Dakota and Orange County, CA) have all had computers with internet access (since internet was somewhat popular, around late 90s), and recently have offered free wi-fi.
I would disagree. If he had gotten those documents to someone in American media, perhaps. But by sending them to an international leaking organization, he did specifically put them on display for the whole world to see.
Moving from Office 2003 to OO Writer can't be anywhere near as difficult as moving from Office 2003 to Office 2007 or 2010. The UI change is much more pronounced in the latter case.
No, in this case he's right. They said that limited liability was good for "the public". Unfortunately, when they said "the public", they meant "the top 1%".
And we'll completely reject that claim. The Assembly Line worker had no input into the process, they were just a cog in the wheel. You can look at design specifications, engineering memos and the like to see who's responsible.
The person directly in charge of those who performed the act is responsible. The person directly in charge should be paying attention to what those below him are doing. If his orders came from above, then the person those orders came from is also responsible.

If that's the case, then why bother with Honeycomb? What's the point of having a tablet specific version of Android?

Uhhh, no. That's just an annoying, anti-Apple fanboy way of looking at it.
You are in the vast minority, I hope you know that. Most people in the US have access to 1 or 2 ISPs. That's it.
Fuck you too, pal. Clearly, there is something wrong with wanting a company to actually be able to deliver what they promised.

If you really are in that business, then you already know how.
You assume he didn't do anything else net-related over the same time period.
How does one do that on a console? Specifically, the Xbox 360?

And any laws against trolls will invariably harm legitimate rights holders.
Ideally, that's what the judge is there for: To determine the proper application of the law.

The one where "the enemy" was anyone who believed in states' rights?
The one where they demonstrated those "state's rights" by participating in armed revolution against their country?
He exposed a lot of shit. That being said, the article does state that the prosecutors are not looking for the death penalty.
I would disagree. If he had gotten those documents to someone in American media, perhaps. But by sending them to an international leaking organization, he did specifically put them on display for the whole world to see.
You don't see a reason why the US Diplomat's comments on, say, the Prime Minister of Italy should be kept secret?
