They only complied with HIPAA if they said nothing. If Apple had said NOTHING about his health it would be a non-issue. They did say something. The SEC is looking into those public statements were false, whether they were KNOWINGLY false, and whether that was done to keep stock prices up.
I really wish I could mod you up. Flash SUCKS. It just flat-out sucks.
But my opinion apparently doesn't matter becase I'll be WORKING during the inauguration, not sitting in some dank basement railing against the injustices of the tech world not fully supporting whatever random system most of these slashtards run.
Not necessarily. The only Belkin products I have ever used were gender changers/adapters and minor accessories. They always did the job with no issues (exception was the ADC-DVI adapter for a G5 tower - didn't realize it was DVI-D only). Did I just astroturf?
Beyond that, how do users get Opera without IE? Is the next step a CD with every known browser on it from your PC manufacturer? Clearly in the EU you can't favor one company over another...
"No. The FCC is damned clear on the subject. NO RESTRICTIONS CAN BE MADE ON DISH PLACEMENT."
While I know you are referring to HOA's in particular, this statement is untrue as written. Try to mount one on a registered historic building you own. That falls afoul of both law and zoning requirements.
Unless you are in a homeowners association with their own rules that you agreed to you when you bought the place. That's what started this whole conversation.
Not entirely. You can be refused the right to mount the dish to the building's side, roof, or railing of a balcony, but cannot be prevented from putting a pole in a bucket of cement.
And A gets the case dismissed at the first hearing when they produce subpoenaed records from Apple showing they never purchased the songs. End of story.
I have never gotten notifications of Defender updates, they just install around 6:30 am the day after they are released. Don't know what I would have set to cause that, though.
I own 2 consoles and neither has ever destroyed a disc at any time. One is pre-launch 360 won in the Mt Dew contest, one is a Wii. Both get used on an almost daily basis. Of course, I don't watch commercials and let that determine how I place my consoles: horizontally on a sturdy stand with lots of airflow.
So, either I'm not normal (possible, but my treatment of game consoles isn't proof) or the problem is being overblown by blowhards.
Private money paying for something on a public university's campus doesn't make it public. It makes that portion of the public university's work/property private. For example, I can rent the auditorium at a local public university's campus. When I do so, I am allowed to refuse entrance to anyone I choose. The campus is still public and operates under the normal rules, except that I am allowed to control access and use of the room.
The same goes for research. If state/federal money is used for research it is considerably more open than if Pfizer pays for it. The reason is simple. Pfizer has basically bought use of the facilities and staff for a length of time, and controls access both to the people and the data.
"a) Most people in education barely know linux exists. I was running XP in virtualization under Ubuntu one day when a guy from IT came over to put Active Directory on everyone's computers. (Long story.) This guy in *IT* had never seen anything like it before. "That's so cool," he said. "
The incredulous way you tell the story (i.e. He works in IT and had never seen VMWare on Linux) loses a little something when you claim he was "putting Active Directory on everyone's computers." Stones, glass houses...that sort of thing.
"b) For the faculty, using some other OS is inconceivable. Literally. Trying to explain some of this stuff to them feels just like going all the way back to teaching kids the alphabet."
Oh, I get it. You were at Directional Backwater State A&M, where Windows is king and only those who use Buzzwordflavorofthemonth distribution really know anything about computers. Carry on then.
"Maybe I didn't phrase that correctly. Artists have the right to make money from their work, they just are not entitled to enforce a way of making money this way. They don't have the right to prevent an evolution that will bring change to the way people enjoy music. And it just happens that today, they can't force people to buy disc in order to enjoy their music."
I will agree that they don't have a right to force you to pay for their music, but you don't have a RIGHT to their music if you don't pay them (or an agent working on their behalf - as the big recording companies are by way of their personal services contracts) for it. That is the issue here.
If you want to take a stand and not pay for music that is your prerogative and I can support that. What is harder to support is the ideal that you shouldn't have to support the creator of a work and still have full access to said work. If you don't want to pay for a Renoir, you are welcome to paint your own copy for your own enjoyment. If you don't want to pay for someone else's music, you are welcome to record it yourself and listen to your own recording.

And how long has it been since a true virus was attacking windows? It's always trojans, worms or adware and has been for several years.

So...you were a script kiddie with an ERD disk and you think that makes you cool. Got it.

I have UMA and nary a T-Mobile in sight.

Get a UMA-capable cell phone.

Somehow I doubt Natalie will be disappointed at all...
As opposed to over 6 GB for OS X or 4.x GB for the latest centOS? Wow. Such a huge disk image....
Fanboy math. Either that or he lives in a 2G-only area.
Did you pay with your Best Buy card or use their Reward Zone program? MY spider sense says there is a good chance you did.

This is twice you've said he deserves to die. So man up and do it or shut up about it.
I'm glad that Geek Squad gig is working out for you, Timmy.
