How are service providers responsible? they have almost no control over the content delivered over the content that networks deliver. its ridiculous on the level of making The Department of Transportation responsible for noisy cars on the highway.
Of course I have download maybe 200 different torrents this month, all of it copy-written. it only found 4 items, but whatever.
Just for the sake of not wanting sleazy Russians to sell my torrenting habits for profit I look at the removal tool and figured it would be better to leave my torrent habits in their hands then give them what they really want which is access to my facebook account.
USING THIS APP REQUIRES:
Your e-mail address
Your profile info: description, hometown, likes, location, relationship details, website and work history
WHAT DO THEY NEED THAT INFO FOR?
The whole thing is a scam on a level ALMOST on par with the RIAA/MPAA. If you are a facebook user now is a good time to click through and report the app as malicious.
wait...we needed a conspiracy nut to inform us that Stuxnet was written by the CIA??? i cant be the only one that figured it out a year ago. But really why is it a surprise. this is basic espionage.
So, i guess these are the questions...
1. If you are streaming your music to a device that belongs to you does that count as broadcasting?
2. Does your "personal" license to music allow to remotely broadcast music to a device even if you are the only one that can access it?
3. If you are considered to be broadcasting, shouldnt this effect other devices such as sling box? (im pretty sure rebroadcasting sport events is pretty much frowned upon)
4. Does this mean that uploading any music to a personal server makes you a "broadcaster", even if you are the only one that can access the stream? Am i a broadcaster if i email a song to myself for easy access?
5. Where does playback start? Does it start when i select the songs from my server that i want to hear or does in start inside of my device?
of course, i take all this with a grain of salt. i have been streaming music from one computer to another for years. as far as i am concerned, this is no different then having a radio in one room and speaker in another. the fact that anyone feel that they deserve "their fair share" when they arent having to invest in the innovation is offensive to me.
honestly it really pisses me off. i love my zune's and have been waiting for an update. they are they best mp3 players on the market. hands down. i am not going to stay with zune just so i can use the software.
so fuck zune. i hate to jump ship so quickly. but its not worth staying with for an mp3 player that will never get updated again. also...it will be a cold day in hell before i use a winmo phone.
i actually did something similar to this for about a year and it worked very well. I had a sprint Razr V3M that i used for data and VOIP with Vonage and it worked reasonably well all of the time. I used the cheapest Vonage box i could find, my old landline phone and my wrt54g/ddwrt router. in order to get internet to the router to be shared with the vonage box i turned on internet connection sharing on the computer and plugged it into the router "internet" input. after that i had shared wifi and LAN internet. Vonage used about 75kbps and EVDO top out about 125kbps in my area. and keep in mind, this was FOUR YEARS AGO!!!
Now keep in mind, this was EVDO, and at the time there wasnt much faster then that, and if there was other stuff going on over the internet then i would have the voice quality degrade to (or most likely have no sound at all, but my calls still did complete). never had latency/lag issues either. and yeah, i was still paying for data through Sprint and Voice through Vonage, but the savings were about $50 a month as i always went over on my available airtime, for unlimited voice voice and unlimited data ($40 a month to sprint and $25 to vonage versus $90+ a month for unlimited data through sprint and limited voice through sprint.
What you are proposing isnt really a terrible idea, and so long as WiMax stays neutral to services, it should work great!
Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
But some think our attitude
Should be one of gratitude,

Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun.
i got hassled for saying "bomb" on a train...really. i was going to an airshow at Scott Airforce Base near St Louis, Mo and i was told i couldnt enter with a BOOKBAG...SPECIFICALLY a book bag...i could have a small canvas sack, a purse, a fanny pack, and, the one that pushed me to the edge...a camera bag. i was told BY THE AIRMEN that i could put my bag in the field T the parking lot by the gate i was at (not on the airbase) but i couldnt bring it with me. i found the logic behind what i was told mindbogglingly retarded. i was taking a public train there so i just hoped back on and dropped my bag at another stop, well hidden and safe. while i was on the train, i called my mother and listed the absolutely retardedness of what i was told, explaining how my have a camera bag that is TWICE the size of my book bag, that it had tons of tiny hiding spots for whatever they are so scared of and that if i was truly determined that i could fill a lens with "whatever" because they only had peole looking through bags and no real detection equipment.
I didnt care who heard what i was talking about, because it was the truth, what they were asking for was unrealistic. but i complied anyway. turns out there was an airman a few seats forward of me, and he had called the base because i guess i posed a threat to freedom....or something.
so when i got back to the airshow, the gate security pulled me aside, then the county cops detained me, but didnt handcuff me or put me in the car...they just asked for ID and asked me all the usual questions (warrants, have you been arrested, you know what county jail is like), but i wasnt "arrested" they kept me there for 20 minutes before i said, "i dont know where i am, but im not staying any longer, so i am going to find out when i either get chased down by the airforce or by the county cops." 1 minute later i was pulled into the airforce base where searched in the same manner they do at airports now and i was interviewed by a couple of FBI agents about what i knew about everything i said, then told that talking about it publicly was irresponsible (i reminded then that this base was pretty much a tribute to my right to say what i wanted, and that its here to protect those rights). i was in with them for about ten minutes before some guys came along and told them that they couldnt hold me. 30 seconds later i was out the door and told i couldnt come back "that day"(dont come back ever).
all in all it was a great day for me, but i really wanted to go to the air show:(
having been arrested and detained on two occasions for fighting for what i believe in, i can honestly say FUCK YOU. sorry you didnt like my attitude that ONE TIME, but im honest about it. and when i am one a FAMILY VACATION with my kids, I'm skip the civil disobedience for once. Could i have done more...fuck yes, do i feel bad about it...not at all. pick your battle, dont be a fucking retard just because the law says you can. Unlike you im not going to talk big on the internet and judge other people about their decisions.
oh yeah, here is a video of me getting arrested . now kindly, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
last time i was in Chicago, i was trying to take a picture of a seagull with my Canon 50D, i was told that i could not despite the fact that i was on public property along the Chicago river. the officer told me it was for "security". and i had no idea why until i got home, I was on the same block as the Boeing world headquarters and i GUESS that i COULD have been taking a picture of the Boeing building SO it was just easier to tell me know. i didn't really bother with arguing, i didnt want to spend another vacation getting patted down by the FBI, even though i should have.
Thankfully, we dont have LAWS like the one in Kuwait!
but then again, thats one of the things that made Crazy Taxi Unique. it had super sharp graphics, decent music and the real world locations added a feel of realism to a completely unbelievable environment. In some way it would be like if they took the Pizza Hut ads out of the TMNT: The Arcade Game on the NES, sure the game would be the same, and not even matter to a new generation of gamers, but its all about the nostalgic feel for some games, and pruning that ruins that experience.
It should also be noted that CT hasnt had music from the offspring OR KFC, Levi's, or Pizza Hut ads since 2006 (roughly) none of the portable versions have the orignal ads or music, so i dont know why this would be much of a surprise.
and with that said, it should be noted that CT has one of the most significant patents in console game history. Its still a fun and groundbreaking game, but ill keep playing it on my Dreamcast for now.
SEGA is allowed to got batshit insane IF they are using Sega's code in their custom BIOS. they could also freak out about them calling it "Dreamcast" but unless its being sold as a NEW system instead of a used one that has been modified then they wont have an issue. Sont still has alot of IP tied up in their dreamcast library. the last thing they want is to seem soft on piracy. Hopefully this will be more of an enthusiast item the n setting a new market (thus attracting more attention...because i REALLY want/need one of those SD adapters)
So Sharon Apple in Macross Plus was a hologram. She was an experimental AI but her emotions were provided by a human. Eventually she fell in love and gained her own emotions, and then tried to try to kill everyone after hacking into every military computer on the planet...
what was my point......OH YEAH...dont trust singing Japanese holograms.
Although we do find your language offensive, we would like to extend somewhat of an olive branch.That is, of course, what we might say if we weren't money hungry control freaks. We need to buy money for our families.
We are sorry to hear about your lack of respect for our "rights", but we all here hope your mothers are buggered by syphilitic bears.

well he is a big guy so thats gonna be one heck of a food bill.
will they use chip smashers too?

its a good thing the US Government created Stuxnet so they know how to protect their systems from it.
GREAT SUCCESS!
