How many times do we have to go through this. The GPL states that you don't have to give away the code unless the person already has the binary, it also stats they they don't have to be available together.
So, once you download the binary, you can send them an email saying "hey, I have the binary of your software, it's GPL, please give me the code"
Then, if they don't give you the code, that's when they are violating the GPL.
The sticker says "Anybody pulling over this car will be video taped, if you don't like it, don't pull me over". Then the cop knows he's being video taped.
Seriously.. I've been pulled over a few times, I don't know if they were taping or not, but if they were, I did NOT know about it.. And if you watch these police videos on TV, the drunk people that get pulled over also don't know they're being taped, so how could that be evidence?
From the article:
"If the plaintiff can present evidence showing a likely case against the defendant, the court still must "balance the defendant's First Amendment right of anonymous free speech against the strength of the prima facie case presented and the necessity for the disclosure of the anonymous defendant's identity to allow the plaintiff to properly proceed," wrote the Appellate Panel."
But:
The constitution doesnt guarantee anonymous speech. In Talley v California (1960), three of the justices said "I stand second to none in supporting Talley's right of free speech -- but not his freedom of anonymity. The Constitution says nothing about freedom of anonymous speech." --
You could upgrade the hard drive, and swap out the video card, also add memory.. Sure you can't add 4 more cards that do whatever you want, but it has USB and Firewire for external devices.
Well, with most PC laptops things can change, and they do change, constantly.. But with macs things stay the same for the most part. Usually the only difference from one Powerbook to another is memory and hard drive space, but all the hardware is the same.. But with say Dells.. the screen can change, it could have an internal modem or network card, but it may not.
I hope they improved the TV out on the iBooks.. I have a Pismo Powerbook G3, it also has TV out, but even on my 27" Sony Wega TV with S-Video you can't see text at all above 800x600.
I don't remember the site off and, but it's the same guy that made the kernel I use on my Pismo Powerbook G3 and it works like a champ.. Sound, airport card, and all..
In NH they do this, but you can opt-out and not have your licence picture kept on file by the state government.. I'm sure it's the same in other states as well.
They don't require a thumbprint in NH. And they magnetic strip doesn't have anything on it except your license number (to save the cops from typing it in). That's all it needs anyway, the computers in the cop cars just radio that shit in and they get the most updated driving record info. That way they don't have to radio all that stuff in over voice so that people with scanners can hear your entire driving record. Also, in NH it's illegal now for them to put your SSN on your license.. The stopped doing it about 3 years ago, and before that they had an check box on the form for your license to not print it on your license.
Of course NH seems to be a bit free with driving laws.. We also don't require a seat belt over 18 or a helmet on a motorcycle, also don't require car insurance.. Another thing we don't have lame emissions tests. (The only reason I call them lame is because the more serious offenders, like diesel and commercial trunks are usually exempt, so they just screw the normal joe that can't afford anything better then a 1982 shitbox that burns a little oil).
So you plug in your camera and WindowsXP sends you to this thing to get prints mailed to you.. Kodak is saying that this denys the user of a choice to who they get to send the pics to in order to get real prints mailed to them..
But the kodak software forces you to use kodaks service for the same thing.. so you still don't really get a choice.
And how is advertising not a form of free speech? An advertiser is trying to get you to buy a product yes, but how is that different then say any site trying to get you to buy into they belive in?
These cameras are out in the public, not in my house.. If you're out and about wandering down the road ANYBODY can see what you're doing from their windows, cars driving by, people walking buy. They could be snapping pictures.. Hell, I'd rather KNOW that they have cameras then have a cop up in a window taking snapshots and not telling anybody...
What you describe is them coming into my HOME, that is a TOTALLY different ballgame.
"If you have nothing to hide then hide nothing. If it weren't for a criminal minority then this sort of thing would never arise. Target those who this is aimed at, not the people who are actually trying to work at making the streets a little safer."
I think this is lost by most slashdotters. If you're doing nothing wrong, why do you care! These are on the streets, there could easily be undercover cops wandering around looking for evil doers, why is a camera that much different? It's not like they're in your house.
I've had mixed success with Gnutella.. The biggest problem is that it doesn't show you the bitrate that the mp3 was encoded at.. I tend to like mine at 192 or higher, most of what I pull from Gnutella is 128. The other thing is, with a large number of clients (lime wire being the biggest problem) will give you results with the sharing IP as a 10net or 192.168net address.. these are not routable on the net, so you can't even get files from them.
Also, I'm not sure if this is a problem with just this program, but the same has happened with other.. When using bear share and I search for say "Pi Soundtrack" I get results for anything with either of those words rather then the google type of results matching that exactly.
Very true.. I never understood why you would firewall ping? The machine still needs to take time to dump the ping request, so you can still be DDoS'd.. and it makes troubleshooting a pain...
"First, anyone who thinks any signal that they can reach is free for them to use should go to radio shack and try to buy a scanner with cellular frequencies. They're illegal -- and it's illegal to build something to listen to them. It's been a long, long time since frequencies were free."
It's also "illegal" to listen to cordless phones, but you can buy scanners just about anywhere that pick that up. Also, I have a nice Yeasu FT-530 that I legally modified (having a ham radio license) that now gets in the 900Mhz range (where there is a ham band). The side effect being that I can now pick up cell phones.
As many people pointed out, this is kinda legal in Canada.. I really think it's more about getting the signal rather then descrambling it, but that's me.. Because sure, you can't get DirectTV, but buy descrambling it from them means you're not getting it from the local cable company, or some other provider in Canada.
Also, you've been able to do this for quite a while now, a friend of mine does it. I think it's a dos program and not a linux program.. but that doesn't really matter.
Actually, you can get IE5 for Solaris.. I've used it, it's not to bad. Some people have gotten it to run under linux, but it's a huge pain in the ass.. or so I hear. --

The reason they're going with the new version and the new way to identify songs is so they can offer more songs on the service again.

also, isn't it against some RFC or something?

Actually they are saying that they can't use the term "instant messaging" also.. they trademarked that as well.
