And a Real Name can be extremely useful as well, AC, so we can reply to you better, track you better, make sure we know that you're not doing anything "dangerous", etc.
I'd have to agree. While the benefits are certainly nice (who doesn't like free food that's actually healthful?), a city offers the subtle and not-so-subtle enjoyments of everyday life.
That is why they like to get "kids" off of campuses, they are not used to living life in the "real" world and are more maleable.
I'd have to say that it depends on the location of the campus. A campus in a city (or at least part in a city) may give the university kids some chance to see something "real". Of course, this could also just result in kids spending all their money in "trendy" (i.e. expensive) city shops.
I wonder. Would it be possible to create a system that used PGP instead of SSL/trust-hierarchy? I would think it'd be a lot more secure, not to mention easier to use.
I don't see why social engineering is necessary to obtain genetic material. People leave their genetic material EVERYWHERE, and it's not that complicated to obtain it.
Well, the card was transplanted into that HP from an old '90s Gateway or CyberMax. So maybe we're even.:-)
Were the drivers separate for those Sega Saturn ports, or were they part of the graphics drivers? Perhaps an emulator can take advantage of the ports. The controller looks similar to a Genesis controller, and I'd do anything to get that experience, short of actually buying a Genesis and games.
No no, I do understand this. I really do mean a very small amount of oil when I say "not too bad". Perhaps a surface sheen, or maybe 1-2 millimeters thick.
I think it was because the technology wasn't ready for the market. CD-ROMs were still being used heavily, and the drive will add weight and drain battery life, and take up valuable space. Flash memory was still expensive, so it wasn't practical to use. I don't know about the touchscreen response quality, so I won't comment on that. Last of all, I don't think that processors were up to it yet.
I started reading this site about 6 years ago. It's been the source of tech and YRO news for me, as well as great insight, information, politics, opinion, and laughs from the other readers here.
You've definitely wasted my time efficiently and enjoyably. I've learned so much from this site, it's changed who I am.
I wish you the best, man. Take care, and thank you so much.
Experiment is nice, lovely, news-worthy and, I think, kinda pointless. Mostly because Universities never seemed to have suffered from the lack of or "slowness" of internet connection in the first place
Well, if it's successful, Google will get a LOT of good PR out of the thing. And what company doesn't like to get good PR?
Jokes aside, you are right. What we also need is a tighter grip on telco powers, so that municipalities can roll out their own broadband or wireless systems.
Otherwise they risk being marginalized, and if that happens on the tablet side it may leak over to the phone side.
Well, Android already has its "cult following" due to heavy marketing on Motorola's part. I don't think it's gonna fall that easily to an Apple product.
All they have to do is port Angry Birds to Android to keep their userbase! *ducks*
Well, of course. The longer you have any product, the more uses you're gonna find for it.
Have a product for long enough, and you're eventually gonna figure out how to port a certain 1990s hell-themed god-awesome FPS to it. And Tetris, too.;-)

How about they just make it an opt-in system?

I think I got you beat. I've got an S3 ViRGE running in my circa-2001 HP Pavilion. And I actually use that computer for day-to-day stuff.

If it's not too bad, then the microbiology will take care of it.
So, couldn't they just design some system that wipes the RAM if a live removal is detected?
This guy needs slapped.
Sorry, we're all out! Though, we've got a nice discount on kicked!
Which company do you think has a better clue about what consumers want?

With a spoonful of Sugar(CRM, that is), of course!
(Sorrry, I'm losing it.)
Perhaps, but when you say "antivirus software", I think of memory-, processor-, and time-draining.
If there is some way to optimize the software for pre-boot, then maybe I'd be less wary of it.

ILEC? CLEC? ISP? CO? ADSL? DSLAM? Y2K?
OMG!!!
Jokes aside, you are right. What we also need is a tighter grip on telco powers, so that municipalities can roll out their own broadband or wireless systems.
That may be, but the ISPs are probably already selling our information to advertisers.
The only way a Google ISP would be different in this regard is that people would just become more aware of it.

Why the hell would you want to write antivirus software into a BIOS?
So, like a version of Deep Freeze for the MBR?
