Sometimes just one word fixes everything. All these scientists had to do was finish their report with a one word sentence: Maybe. I vote all scientists everywhere add this final word.
That's done because phone lines have been multiplexed. Meant it is to run lines to a central location, convert the analog to digital across one line to the destination area and convert the digital to analog back and run it to the termination. This allowed utilities to run one line for long runs instead of 1+ per consumer location. The throat-cut for them was when DSL was taking off there were entire communities that had been multiplexed were unable to receive the service because DSL required individual lines. I lived in a city when DSL was humming and my cable provider didn't offer broadband and my telco couldn't give me the DSL because of multiplexing... the solution was iDSL which is essentially "DSL over ISDN" since the iDSL signal was only 14.4k and could be multiplexed. Applying to what your saying. Those runs to remote areas required 1 long with a single pair or 1 fiber line... the cost was minimal in comparison. I have seen as well that a provider would do the work for free if the run was under 300 feet. Unfortunately my run was 1800 feet and they wanted 3500 bucks with no ability for me to run or have the line run myself.
I am not a Tor user and don't understand it's inner workings but as I understand, on Tor, you are already doing this. Many people use the same exit node and that could already be associated with the data which is why it makes it anonymous. The fact that the data could be coming from any one of multiple users (100s? 1000s?) on the same exit node they can't associate any traffic with you any more than they could associate the other person with your facebook traffic.
However, this does appear to open you up to identifying yourself on an anonymous network. Why would anyone log into their real facebook account on the Tor network? I would think that if a user visited a nefarious site after visiting FB (without disabling referring information) and that site was being monitored... then data could be subpoenaed from FB for all users using the FB site at that moment. This would significantly reduce the anonymity to those capable of requesting such records.
Seriously? So I cut up a DRM'd pod removing the foil top and the bottom plastic. I stick my offbrand pod inside and stick the whole assembly in the keurig. Unless this thing is tracking individual serial #s on each pod how would it know the difference? I'm merely making an adapter using their own product and as the consumer I'm free to do so. That being said. When I no longer have a choice then I shall just remove my need to choose. I'll but a competitor device.
The problem with these is that they rely strictly on a guarantee of speeders. No speeders = no revenue = no cameras. Those who say they are not revenue generators are disproved by this fact. If income was low or none from a camera, how long would it last? It wouldn't, it relies on revenue being generated... PERIOD.
Hey phone manufacturers? Wanna kill this bill? Don't implement this kill switch and no longer offer phones for sale in California and overpopulate every border store just across the state line everywhere with TONS of phones. Revolt from consumers will reverse the bill along with the amount of revenue loss for state taxes, in-state phone stores, etc.
This makes me wonder. This past weekend I went out of town and visited a little scenic area in New England. A couple asked me to take a photo of them with the lighthouse in the background as he had just proposed to his girlfriend and they wanted to memorialize it. If that photo somehow was used publicly would I have the right to claim copyright on the photo?
I'm assuming since the $ sign was use it means US dollars. The current exchange rate says that's nearly 750,000 in Yuan (Chinese currency). Having a friend in China we discussed a few years ago about income there. She worked for a gov owned newspaper and considered her pay to be above average. She was salaried and in US dollars she still made less than $500 per month. Now if you meant 120,000 Yuan, not US dollars then the family came out with about $20,000 US dollars... still about 3-4 years of "above average" salary which is far less compensatory.
I think it would be great if she just started not using music... and then to see her income rise... then counter-sue saying that by using their music she actually was making less and therefore their copyrighted tunes were actually causes her a loss. Wouldn't that be awesome?
I don't see why the court didn't see it both ways... that the signal he connected to was being broadcast outside the confines of the home and therefore wasn't protected by "unauthorized access". Now if the home was in the middle of a 100 acre farm and the guy trespassed to get access then, sure, it's unauthorized but he was able to access an open signal in his own home. So while they were legally able to to track his signal on those grounds it's likely that he was legal in connecting to a signal based on the same grounds. While I may not enter your open door and take your cash, I believe it's within my rights to keep your cash it if you throw it through my window into my living room. Glad the guy got caught.
Hard to say Sony is "trouncing" Microsoft. Yea, Sony sold 30% more consoles but MS was charging 25% more. So in $, MS isn't "trounced" by any means. I find it funny that Sonys mis-steps are lauded as good deeds while MS's are laughed at.
We all know that if MS's original DRM was successful then every maker out there would have jumped on that wagon and rode it all the way to the bank...
Additionally, now that the XBOne and PS4 will be setting on the shelf at the same price point... that barrier to consumers has been removed as one of the choice options. Let's see if another 6 months shows Sony as such a "trouncer".
