Home printing is way better than online. A correctly profiled home printer has a way larger gamut (=color range) than online. And with good paper and ink, the quality of home made is bigger. And of course, brand name 3rd party ink is way cheaper than the original.
And A4 size prints (20x30cm, or 8x10 inch) is way too expensive online compared to home print.
Personally, I print only few 4x6" photos at home. They mostly go to the online shop, or the 1 hour service (which is a $0.20).
Here in Europe MTV is probably still transmitting music videos 24 hours. But it is around 24 hours a day, not a week. So personally, I never use it anymore. Maybe I am just too old, expecting music on MTV.
I wonder why the features has to be scapped / delayed !
Microsoft has sent lots of its development to India, where there are lots of people, so what is wrong with the company ? Apple gets far more done with fewer employees.
I know from a competing store, that way over 80% is coming from the back catalogue. Those nice-price CDs.
Sales of new title are small compared to this, yet I believe it might be neccessary to charge more for new stuff. But this would also be bad. Paying $1.49 for a song makes it $14.90 for a CD, which is too expensive compared tot he physical product.
Well, not everything in z/os is unix, but UNIX is now the one part you can not take away. And you can download binaries of most of you standard unix utils from IBM.
Problem is, the dinosaurs wrote much of the code to an ancient virtual machine, os/390. The problem is maintaining this code.
Refilling the computer with oil and water is the easy part.
In Europe you have a right to reverse engineer with the goal of making things compatible. You may even pay others to do so. So if I want the HD signal, I can get it. This is making it compatible with my monitor. This has nothing to do with breaking copy protection:)
I find that it is a great game. Objectives and teamwork score gives and older guy (38) like me a fair chance of doing well. I do better than many of young kids with no brain, and a big trigger finger.
I find the game is pretty well balanced, both in characters, as well as weapons. Only weakness in balance I experience is air (figthers, helis) which seems difficult to shoot down, repairs too fast, and they have lots of firepower. It would also help balance if a pilot could not capture the flag, but needed to get out of the heli
is a good example of the one big point where US laws needs to get in sync with the laws in the sensible part of the world.
Here, you MUST react within reasonable time (6 months has been established as general standard) after you find out your rights are violated. If you do not do that, you wate your chance.
So you can not bet on everybody using your thing before you want money. You must play fair.
I have real SIP based IP telephony, and I have an extra number set up ($1/month) which when I call will require a pin-code, and then give me a new IP-telephon dialtone, and I can call for free to SIP phone numbers, or real landline numbers in the whole world for 10% of the cost of the Danish Telecom to somedestinations.
There is nothing new about it, apart from it using a proprietary protocol, rather than the free and open SIP protocol.
The worst solution is the most widely used one. You get a digital certificate from the bank, which is read by some Java applet on the website after you enter a password. So it is not imported into the browser keystore. The security is thus both a file on the harddrive, and a password. Works only with IE.
The 2nd best is a keycard, with 80 one-time 4-character passwords on. To logon you need your SSN, card identity and a 4-digit password from the card. To verify transactrions you need to enter another 4-digit password from the card. Works with any browser, any platform.
The best solution is the one I use. It is based on a tokencard. To log on I need a username + a 6 digit numeric one-time password I get from my tokencard (after entering my pin). To confirm any transaction, I will be presented with a challenge I have to enter on the keypad of my token card, and gets a response back I enter on the website. Works on all platforms.
It is totally unacceptable that US banks to dot care about security, and will use a username/password only.
In most European countries, spam is directly illegal. Before sending spam, the user must opt-in.
And the spammers are also stealing ressources. Whenever I set up a honeypot, spammers think they send 100.000+ e-mails through it per day. It takes less than a week to get that amount of spam.
Since the USA does not protect freedom of our mailboxes, but only freedom of commercial interests over the freedom of its people, we have to fight back.
IMHO, USA should think less about supporting people that often defrauds other people, and make spam illegal. Use the Air Force for what it does best. Take out the spammers surgically.
making maps for orienteering. That is high-detail map, scale 1:10000 and 1:15000. And the best way to make maps is to draw them on top of aerial photos. You draw most of the map from home, and then go out in the terrain afterwards to fill in the blanks (tree/foliage covered areas etc).
Only use for a GPS is to adjust/correct perspective of the aerial photo. Most of the other stuff can be done to a reasonable accuracy using the brain, legs, and a compass.
Yeah, all the noise from 28 harddrives will save you a radio, which you can not hear anyway, and a heater, as they will keep the room warm all year around.
But at least Apple uses the sides for menubar in the top, and apps bar in the bottom. It is way more important to use the borders than Microsoft ever realized.
They have not even invented hot corners for screensaver yet.
it is not just about marketing. I have a 4B Creative Muvo2 - It feels like a $1 platic toy, with lose buttons etc. The no moveable external parts is one of the things that makes the iPod feel solid, to be the great player it is.
Also has an el-cheapo player, and my mother has another of those. She can't figure out how to use it.
Remember, the iPod is more than the player. It is also iTunes, the syncing etc.
The other makes a player - and then remembers that they need to get some software hacked together as well. Apple is way stronger in hardware/software integration.
What we need to do the SPF thing is a checksum/messageID whatever in every checksum, and then a sender mailserver to contact to verify it has been sent from there. This will allow mail forwarding.
Since Apple will release the core OS (Darwin) Open Source, it is trivial to get the core OS to run on standard Intel hardware. So moving the OS X libs etc to Darwin is probably easily done from a real OS X installation
But since the end user will have to do this himself, it will only happen with hackers.

I agree. We need somebody to download the OS X for x86 first release that was on the Internet.
The one that booted into Linux and displyed a goatse.cx picture.
Show that in court to convince the judge that things are not what they pretend to be. Case closed.
I have seen that it is possible to read out RAM contents today, with an acceptable low bit error rate.
So shouldn't the RAM be removed as well ? Or is the US not concerned about secrecy but only bureaucracy ?

First the british showed what happens if you try to use the Metro without ticket.
Now the Russians shows what happens if you send annoying mails.
Do you see the pattern ? A new learning process has taken form. The ultimate punishment is the only way to stop crime.

Mainframe guys thinks everything on the computer is secure. The hardware is bulletproof after all.
Windows guys thinks that security is impossible, since every machine is spyware infected. So they do not even bother writing secure code.
Mainframe guys think, that because they know assembler language, they are way superior to the rest of us.
Mainframe guys tries to keep things secret and mysterious. Or we might find out they are easily replaced.
Mainframe guys knows that they company can't get rid of the mainframe before they are dead.

So unless Microsoft falls in, they will make sure the oil price goes to $75 a barrel.
Pr0n is the #1 driver of the Internet, so why is it not legal to upload that ? They should categorize video contents in two. Adults and non adults.

MacOS X for Windows will ship with a program called WINE. This allows you to run MS Office for Windows and other crappy buggy software on it.
The good news is, that you do not need to reboot every month.

2x 1280x1024 - So why 2560 x 1024 ?
I would have made it 2048x1280 - 1:1.6 is a more natural aspect ratio.
The onbly large resolution screen that is made right that I have seen is the Apple 30".
