What makes it from a bad batch into a bad company is that they have told different storys to different people and are, if these reports are to be believed, that they are lieing through their teeth about it.
Its one thing to royally screw up a product, its another thing to lie about it.
If a store trys to stop me whipping a camera out to compare prices ill just not shop there. If they dont stop me theres just a possibility I may not shop there. If they try to stop me using my own device they can fuck right off, even if they are the cheapest. ill just go to the next cheapest etc.
Pretty drunk so please dont mod me harshley for this mini rant
Yeh but thats counting all of the private entity Cameras. There seems to be a widespread myth these days that every camera you see everywhere is linked together. So that perhaps a mean with a white beard and an over exuberant use of visa vis can watch us 24/7.
A fraction of the cameras are owned and controlled by the government and even then, from the limited information ive obtained from watching crime programs, getting detailed information accross even county borders isnt easy.
History has proven time and time again that with freedom as a goal amazing achievements have been accomplished. Unfortunately it often takes the removal of those freedoms for the majority of sheeple to take note of whats actually going on.
The point is they cant prove you gave it to anyone else.
Your wrong in a few things, the copyright holder cannot violate their own copyrights, therefore no matter who is uploading no law is broken if someone authorised by the copyright holder downloads the information.
Making the songs avaliable isnt distribution. Following (and Fixing) your analogy
If I'm OFFERING to hand out copies of the latest Josh Grobin CD and I hand one to Josh Grobin himself (he's probably the only one who would take it) that continues to make it OK to OFFER so long as noone actually takes it except Josh Grobin himself.
Since the RIAA cannot prove that you handed it to anyone else they cannot get you for it. And you dont need permission to give it to the Copyright holder, they cannot infringe their own copyright.
I dont see how they can justify making software in the UK cost more than in the US, they have no language translation to do, short of adding a U to make colour. Yet they are charging $663.755 for Dreamweaver here in the UK and $339 in the USA, whilst this price gap exists and I am unable to buy the USA versions i will continue to refuse to pay at all.
...That the best solution is to wait until it gets so close that "I can see my house" and then open up a Hyperspace Window to take the thing to the other side of the planet.
In my opinion if Person B is using the software commercially to make a profit then they damn well should pay for it.
If person B is using it at home just to mess around with it for personal non commercial projects then there is no harm done, Person B was never going to buy the software in the first place, they arent profiting from it and no harm is done to anyone.
Id say that software should have specific Home Editions which should be alot cheaper, but then Small to Medium business could potentially exploit this system.
Piracy seems to be becoming the new Home Use Only Licence, but only because one isnt provided or is still far too expensive.
You mean the free consumption of infinately reproductable content?
I think we all can see the Industrys position, they dont want to evolve and create new business models so they are paying off politicians to pass laws so they dont have to.
Having actually read both the article and the proposed legislation itself none of it makes sense. Pirates will find ways around it, and those of us who legally consume things from P2P will be screwed. They clearly havent heard of VPN's based in countrys without amazing industry Lobbying. Sure itll be slower but they wont beat the determined Pirate, they just make everyone elses life that much harder.
Its one thing to stop signals from your mobile accessing the outside world whilst you are on their property, its another thing entirely for them to access my phone without authorisation (If they want to turn it off they are going to have to connect to it in some way) and turn it off.
If they want to stop me entering the theater if I dont agree to let them turn my phone off or turn it off myself thats their call, they wont be getting my business.
Also as phones are getting more and more features of a computer, when does a Phone with computer functions become a computer with phone functions and therefore covered by the Computer misuse act (UK) about unauthorised access.
One method is controlling what signals enter and leave your premesis, and im not disputing your perfectly within your right to do that if it is legal within your country.
The other method is controlling my personal property without my consent. And no, signs saying "By entering this theater you agree to give up your right to prosecute us for Unauthorised access to your phone" Wont cut it, or else I may soon put up a sign outside my house saying "By entering these premesis you give up your right to not be bludgeoned to death with an Amstrad GX4000" sit back and wait for George Bush to accept my offer of a cup of molten lava. Which is, as I understand, what creatures of his subterranean nature enjoy.
Or welsh ones, even if you speak the language the place names will take you so long to read youll already be through the village before you work out what it means.
THis post raises an interesting point. For the most part what Ive seen is that the IT or general tech industry has no large union. At least it doesnt in the UK.
THink about it, If they did they could bring a country to its knees with say a 7 day strike. People have become so dependent on things just working, and when they dont they call in the tech guy that they would be going crazy after 7 days.
Sure youve got that one guy in every department who is or thinks he is really good at computers, but how long until this guy runs into somehting he needs a higher access for, but cant get.
Whats that RIAA, your doing your old tricks again. Whoops the tech industy has a strike. (Obviously I know it doesnt work anything like this but its an interesting scenario)

Just realised that i replied to an AC, what a waste.

Take off the tinfoil hat please.
Its not really free cereal, More like half price cereal.

Check YOUR math. The parent already accounted for the difference between bits and bytes. Notice where they said (16000 bytes)
16000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 31 = The answer he gave...
So his answer is actually correct. Well Played tho.
But imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these!
Ill get my coat.
Did anyone else think that this was a Robot Sub Sandwich that could make itself? My laziness would know no bounds.

Im glad i dont work at NASA, im dreading the call to Martian Tech Support.
Translated for your benefit
Martian tech support (Clearly recorded): "Hello Sir/Madam/Smismar how may I help you today?"
NASA: "Hey yeh we need someone to go and reset Phoenix, someone told it to lick its elbow"
Martian tech support: "Have you tried Clearing your lander cache sir?"
etc...
You thought that the centers in India were hard? Ive got some news for you...
Unless your robotic wrist is absurdly massive theres a good chance anything it could deflect would burn up in our atmosphere anyway.
Your just going to break a robotic arm with no point.
I cant see any situation where it would be better for the mission to purposefully break off the wrist of the robot.

Im sure that they have thought about warp before.
One problem amongst many many others is the storage of the antimatter. What do you store antimatter in if it explodes on contact with matter?
It sure isnt an empty jam jar.
Or welsh ones, even if you speak the language the place names will take you so long to read youll already be through the village before you work out what it means.
Someone Did that already, turns out the solution is an integer. 42 actually.
I want my Mr fusion and I want it now!
*cant, damn it i knew I should have checked it first
You still need a detonator though, which it would detect. You can just ask the C4 very nicely to explode.
