Most cop cars have dash mounted cameras. It's not the idea that a cop does not want to be recorded, they want a system that the end user does not have the ability to alter. The individual cop can't get to the video, I am sure only internal affairs and their superiors have access.

The problem with these cell videos is they don't capture the whole event. A group of cops beating up a person looks extreme until you find out that person was resisting arrest and put both the cop and civilians in danger.

No doubt power can corrupt but most cops, and I know from personal and familial experience, took the job to "protect and serve".

So will this be the next weight loss method? If I am powering electronics it must come from burning calories correct?

The answers may have changed because of all the ash in the air. I come to slashdot to stay up to date on its readers current air traffic patterns.

So Apple is willing to take a 2.5% hit just to ensure nobody buys more than X. How sad and pathetic their "Iron" grip is getting.

Well they would only need to exist long enough to put the work / master into public domain. From there it should be our ( people who are interested in the work ) job to take the ball and run with it.

and

What if you had to apply for the copyrights to your work but in doing so you have to turn over a master to the copyright office and when the copyright expires the copyright office turns the master over into public domain,

I don't think so only because the auto manufactures are deeply ingrained in the used car industry. They use the trade in to up-sell a new car and they use the certified pre own program make money as well. Certainly they don't own 100% of the market but they own enough for it to be profitable.

$440 Million for the development environment and cost of serving the apps? I doubt it.

When I lease the line it becomes my property, the same when I lease an apartment. The landlord can't come in with out my express permission unless it is a great emergency and I expect my ISP to act the same way.

The judge isn't going after Trudeau, your ire needs to be directed to the prosecutor. It is their job to push the case forward. This judge is upset because

and this is clearly Contempt of Court.

Please let it be an early April Fools' Day joke.

Nextel was headquartered in Reston, VA and as far as I know it was Nextel who was pushing the 4G network Before the merger. That would explain why the test cities are more focused on the east coast.

You can find the 4G coverage on the sprint site, it just requires a bit more digging.

From there open "Data, Email and Multimedia" then click on Sprint Devices with 4G.

Here is the coverage info for their 4G service.

Thankfully I live near Baltimore.

The private copying levy is distributed as per the Copyright Board's allocation as: 66% to eligible authors and publishers,18.9% to eligible performers and 15.1% to eligible record companies.

I may be wrong but aren't the Record Companies the Publishers?

I think you are confusing selling pot and coke to the local HS/college kids and selling crack on the streets.

The individual selling pot and coke to HS/college kids is selling almost exclusively to friends and friends of friends. He carefully cultivates his contacts and (should) act in a business like manner. He buys from some other low level dealer and makes that kind of profit because they are the only game in town.

Selling on the street is way different. It's gang work mostly. To make one sale you have 4 to 6 people involved. 1) The person who takes the order 2) the runner who takes the order back to the safe house 3) the second runner who takes the drugs from the safe house 4) the money collector 5) the person who makes the final drop off. Each person in that chain needs to get paid along with the rest of the gang.

Then you have the risks. There are two big risks for the college kid: Cops and getting killed when he goes into the city to pick up his supply. The street dealer has many more. 1) Rival Gangs are always looking to cut into the turf, find safe houses to raid. 2) Inter gang politics 3) "Clients" killing over their next fix 4) Getting busted by the cops.

So yea if you are living the suburban dream selling pot and coke will pay the fancy bills while you get your MBA.
