It already happens. Time Warner and Comcast both have botnet detection. They put you a restricted walled garden until you take steps to remove it. There is no email and there is no hugely complex packet sniffing software. Its quite easy to detect such botnet traffic as such traffic is very predictable in nature. Your computer sending large amount of traffic to some known botnet location? Redirect all traffic to some basic HTML page with instructions. Customer does nothing and just lets it stay that way? No prob you can pay for service that you don't use all you want to.
You obviously understand nothing about Libertarians. The belief that one should be permitted to conduct your own life how you wish, as long as it does not infringe on the liberties of others. You akin us to anarchists. Government and its rules will always be needed to ensure the liberty of its people since not all people are equal and some will need more help to have freedom than others but there should be a limit to that. Make government too powerful and you will end up just like you would without government at all with power in the hands of the few dictating the lives of everyone else it just has a different name, dictator instead of warlord. Its all balance and libertarians think that balance should be scaled slightly one way instead of another.
I wouldn't even call myself a true libertarian as I believe some things are necessary, like the EPA..I just think they are far more aggressive than they should be.
Points aren't necessarily free, points take time to earn and time is money. Spend a day earning points could be of equivalent value as spending a day at a job earning real money with just a difference in currency (& currency value) . You are right though this is nothing new with facebook you can make this comparison to almost any other online venture, warcraft being one of the most popular where there are people exchanging virtual for physical currency. I imagine one day we will not even distinguish between the two and just consider them no different than the difference between dollar and euro. I have a friend who has no problem at all with buying virtual currency with real currency, his point of view if it takes him a week to earn that currency by ingame methods but he can skip that whole week and buy it with a single day's worth of labor at his job then he buys it and then considers it profit and spends that week doing something else.
No language to prohibit, I was understanding that the federal government has no power that is not specifically given so would the lack of such language mean no permission to do so? Or am I just wrong on that?
i was about to say this same thing. I am able to claim any time i spending answering emails if responding off hours is required. Currently I have no such requirement I am allowed to ignore any messages while off hours until i return to work as a result if i choose to do so i cannot claim that time.
There are some employees that monitor at all hours of the day (my supervisor being one) however they are all exempt, they are not hourly employees like i am and that time is part of their contract salary.
I have a feeling that this is an intentional feature break. I'm sure somebody will soon figure out how the bootloader is unlocked and provide an alternative means to do so without disabling phone features.
Good at book reading? Sorry it takes a turn for the worse for book reading. The display has a horrible glare to it, it attracts finger prints like its the next big thing, and the page turning is atrocious. You have to very carefully hold the device on the edges to avoid turning the page because the slightest on screen touch could jump you pages, or depending where you press even chapters ahead. The volume control is definitely an annoyance as you have to obstruct your view of whatever your watching or pause it. I also hate the lack of "forward" button. Its easy to press back on accident and there's no forward. When your going through book collections it will not remember your last location in the list forcing you to rebrowse from the beginning after going into a book, plus for a book reading device there's no button to go to the book list other than the home button and then the book list. There's no directory structure or categories for books its all one big jumbo collection with no organization. The apps market place is restricted to amazon app store only and many apps are blocked for fire use for no good reason(like twitter, but i don't use that one). The android market place works perfectly fine on the fire but you have to root the device to get it on there.
The screen can be very sensitive but it doesn't always work, sometimes you have to press something 2 or 3 times, but the very slightest touch elsewhere will trigger something you don't want.
Make it easier (reduce the cost, even subsidize if necessary) to become a doctor so that we can get more of them competing against each other. Help reduce operating costs for doctors so they can run at a profit without charging as much (limit the damages for litigation etc...). Force health insurance companies to compete for customers by not allowing employers to choose the company for them (public exchanges would be fine without a state subsidized plan running companies out of business). This would allow individuals without decent employers to get better rates. Remove insane requirements to force health plans to cover certain things, If i don't want to buy a plan that covers therapy, pregnancy, and optional procedures then so be it let me buy the cheaper plan.
I just couldn't find information from the article or the links in the article. I was curious if this was just theory and design from a thesis or if she actually did any actual experiments. Did she design the entire nanopartical treatment or just the part about adding gold/iron based tracing compound. Did she actually verify that she could monitor a treatment in real-time with these metal additives by MRI or is this all on paper. Real time imaging of cancer treatment does sound like a good idea for measure effectiveness I just want to know how much of this work was hers the wording suggests she developed the entire nanoparticle treatment process in addition to enhancing it with a mineral they could image. I'm impressed if so and wonder just what stage her research is at.
I wouldn't say that's always true. Its true that she should not have offered this coupon at a below cost discount but not because its a bad idea it was just a bad idea for her and for several reasons.
The most important being this was an untested, unknown advertising venue for her, when you advertise in a new market or with a new medium you don't go into blindly with an offer you cannot sustain. The company i work has well established return rates on various types of advertisements and they set the amount of the discount so that the amount of return that effort traditionally gives doesn't hurt our margin. If we went into groupon, a medium we've never tested before we would do so without the benefit of all our marketing research data and so our discount would not be as good as our more targeted advertising the amount of the discount would be such that should we had an overwhelming response we could maintain it without loss. Once we established a history with them and know the amount of offer takers that venue traditionally receives then we would adjust our promotion offer to suit it better.
Am I the only one who finds it strange that an 80 year old man was permitted to fly high speed low altitude stunts at an air show? Most people that age have difficulty driving cars. I wouldn't care if the man knew more about flying than any man alive reaction speed and strength diminish with age its a fact of life.
It might also have something to do with having crap for gfx that would have been subpar even 10 years ago. If they want to be even remotely serious about gaining new audience they should invest in a graphics engine upgrade. I can forgive sloppy graphics if it has great gameplay, and even sloppy gameplay if it has great graphics, but having the worst of both and it will go no where.
Every now and then i get a very nagging message to remove paper from the receptacle tray with threes NO GD paper in it and the printer will not print until the non existent paper is gone.
This seemed like a poor test to me, they tested a really small hand bag on a luggage system that normally handles well...luggage. Why not test it with suitcase or duffel bag?
Your Comcast High-Speed Internet service has a monthly data usage allowance of 250 gigabytes (GB).
Funny i don't see the word bit in there.
I stream HD almost every day(dont even watch tv anymore) and download quite a bit through torrents (and no my torrents are not throttled I easily hit 1.6-2mib/s ). I average about 150mb/month.
I wouldn't say punishment is harsh either, usually they'll disconnect you and won't let you get it again for 6 months to a year, but I've never seen a case of this where it happened without at least 4 months of pushing the cap in a row and not without many attempts to contact them to warn them to slow it down or to suggest a business class service that doesn't have a cap.
The only way I could see myself hitting this cap if there was 2-3 people feeding off my router who were just a heavy user as I am, which would drive me nuts cause I use QoS to throttle my room mate just to keep him from lagging me out.
I got a message from tivo today about this exact type of breach, i guess they use this company also although the email was vague on the name of the company and the reason they had my email to begin with.
According to this own article this is the EU's obligation to make this information available, not the US authorities. I also cannot seem to verify any part of this disclosure requirement unless its related to some other EU compliance law related to subpoenas.
I know a former train dispatcher and according to him passenger trains always have the right way. Making a mistake and not planning for a passenger trains arrival would immediately cost the dispatcher his job. Someone likely got fired for your 4 hour wait.
I think this is a bad idea, i think its just asking for a counterfeit market to spring up once the new chips are out there will certainly be someone using a cheap tainted discontinued chip and tooting it as the new version.
I'm astonished that they are still pulling in enough money to buy anything. Also why does this need government approval at all they can't still be considered monopolistic or hold any important stake in our economy, defense, or anything else for that matter.
p2p is just a distribution channel, and only the most public one. These groups have been around a lot longer than bittorrent has and most of them don't want the publicity torrents give them as publicity leads to idiots like this articles author writing about his ignorance.
leading edge right now is pushing $500, so technically it is exactly mid range price wise. Performance wise nvidia models under in the x60 generally would less powered than older generation x70 models, or as close to it to not be a worthy upgrade.
I do buy high end cards but I usually buy 2nd gen. I have a 275 right now, and my next upgrade will either be the 475 when it drops under $200 or the 570 when it eventually drops to $250-300 range, at the going rate I expect that by the 4th quarter this year I will have one of these cards.

Yes but if these thieves had a rifle it would of been a dead neighborhood watch.

Maybe, but you can be certain autoupdate is not turned on by default either. Which case this update will not hit any of those.
It also measures blindness as uncorrectable. So if that damage can be fixed by glasses then its legal per this convention.
