So, 6 to 8 hours is the optimal range? That's how long I usually sleep, mostly towards 7 hours per night. And no alarm clock. My favourite alarm clock is the Sun, so if I really don't want to risk oversleeping, I open the blinds/curtains/shutters before going to bed.
The WIFI is on-board. Ethernet,usb,etc are supposed to be provided through a docking station (which I haven't seen anywhere). If you view the video included in the article, they mention this as well as point out the WIFI led on the device.
I think Rapidshare not being responsible for infringement must be contingent on what Rapidshare does to fight it.
Well they have damn good lawyers, since now they don't have to check filenames, check checksums, IP addresses, manually check lists of links (according to your post below) and whatever else.
So what does that leave Rapidshare with? Do they just have to manually check files when a copyright owner submits a complaint with a list of links?
(On a sidenote, I could make a pretty good link finder and make it send complaints automatically, there must be some good money in offering such a service to copyright owners)
>It's a huge win for the site, which suffered a major setback in the case before a Düsseldorf court back in 2008.
A huge win for Rapidshare, a loss for website owners, since this implies that the responsibility lies on those who host or publish links to Rapidshare.
That post uses Domains by Proxy as an example, which is an awful service. Towards the end of the article, Dynadot explains the whois protection service THEY offer themselves. That's what Namecheap (and other registrars) does and it's what I've always used.
I can tell you for a fact that I receive a lot less email spam at the email address I use for whois, because Namecheap changes the address (which forwards to mine) listed every other day. Also I don't get any snail mail junk, although this was never a big issue.
What is so wrong about body odour? I'm sure there must have been a time, not too long ago, when people smelled like people.
Sometimes, I don't shower for 3-4 days. You don't sweat that much if you are hacking away at a keyboard for 12 hours a day.
I don't see how showering ever day is hygienic. You are stripping your skin and hair of natural oils,bacteria and whatnot. Then you have to use more substances to fight the negative effects of the above. On top of that, you spray yourself with long-lasting synthetic smells or things that stop your armpits from sweating.
I shower every other day, more or less. I don't use deodorants. I don't use colognes, except on rare occasions. Haven't had any complaints from other people.
I've used whois protection services for years (and for thousands of domains), there's never been a problem for me.
When the whois protection service is provided by the registrar you used to register the domain, how is that third party ownership? They already have a lot of control over the domain.
I don't know about ICANN rules on the matter, however I think they would have pressured registrars to stop offering such services, if that was the case.
If you have further information/links on the subject, please elaborate.
At my current location in Europe, low cost items usually pass through customs without a lot of extra tax, although sometimes it comes down to luck. Should be 20%-25% total if they decide to tax it.
On a sidenote, the seller I linked to is flexible about what price they stick on your package. You don't want to overdo it though, otherwise you might end up paying even more tax than normal.
I like this model. Surely the developers behind these games are going to get some new fans and customers.
As an anecdote, I played World of Goo at a friend's once. He copied it on my USB stick and I played more at home. A few months later there was a "pay what you want" promotion for just World of Goo. I bought it to support the developers, even though I had already finished the game and there was nothing new to play with. It's a great game and I recommend it for a few hours of fun.
It comes with Android 1.6 but there's a comment on the above website saying it can be upgraded. You can also find it for less than $100 on sites like alibaba.com and dhgate.com but you will have to buy more than one unit.
An interesting point is the counter on CaptchaAd's homepage saying they have served over 23 million ads. They must have some data on how effective this is.
