Wheeler says the problem stems from Apple's slot-loading drives. "It uses an ejection system that doesn't get approval from the DVD Forum." He claims the EcoDisc should work in other types of slot-loading drive And this disc... did it got approval and certification from the DVD Forum? Is it like sony branding DRM CD as AUDIO CD without adhering to the CD-Books standard?
at least it sets a clear case where a copy of the medium and not a original is needed in order to play in legitimate apple hardware.
No way to take it out at security check points (or if it catches fire)? BURN BABY BUUUURRRRNNNN;D And don't forget the lack of a heatsink!!!! Better not import that in iMovie while flying!! ahahahah.
Finally a very very luxury item from apple;) how strange. Some considerations:
1) I won't do anything with just a USB port. Two is few and I usually carry a powered hub with my macbook. 2) The multitouch stuff is interesting I can't wait for people to port it to the other macs. 3) Where the fuck is the battery!!! Can't see that, maybe is it a iPhone trap? 4) Dealing with wireless on my macbook is as pleasurable as dealing with a sandpaper anal indruder. I hope they made some progress on drivers before relying on it for software installs
Looks a nice expensive hi tech mobile, somewhat superfluos but I guess people will flock to buy it nevertheless.
Well I don't want to discredit their work or depress them to the point that they are not playing. I just check that they just keep real and play for chicks and booze insead of big cash. If somehow cash and fame will be coming that would be good but it's not needed right now.
You sign contract
Produce the code
Wait to send a legal term invoice
Resort to a lawyer
Menace a Suit
Get the money if the committer didn't file for bankruptcy yet.
Or otherwise:
Get racomendation from corrupted politician
Subcontract the code
Get big cash from the government
Shutdown the project, keep the money, give share to politician.
Basically I think (I am not a engeneer) that building a multicore is easyer than further development of Hyperthreading. In other words I suppose replicating 2 or more copies of the same "work" on a chip is faster and cheaper than continuosly developing new architectures that share a common pool. Otherwise your comment makes much sense.
. Car performance is wirelessly monitored in real time to give the customer the option to add in additional power according to his needs if he has signed to a plan designed to optimally fit his profile So, generally speaking, you wouldn't have a problem with microsoft software monitoring and runming your car? Seriously, get a grip on reality, there are already jokes about that.
In the sense of Digital Restriction Managment a part of the article states:
This can be accomplished with small pieces of logic incorporated into the processor that enables the vendor to disable/enable individual cores Now think once or maybe twice about it. The situation could be that of a manager of a datacenter, which probably handles sensitive data, and lets the vendor mess realtime whith the CPUs (and possibly the data) driving the system just because he wants to save a few hundred dollars on a digitally castrated chip. Though idiotness is a widespread illness I don't see who could be such a moron. This could only be acceptable by the CIA or the vendors themselves; not long ago the pentium whith Serial on chip were rejected by the market, this is much worse.
This business model is dead meat to me. I think that the market will continue to offer processors classified on the maximum data processing rate and pricing them accordingly. I don't see a future for this Processor Restriction Managment nor for the career of the guy who wrote the article in the first place. Suggestion: after he's been dumped from University don't get him as datacenter manager.
Politicians who play for the antipiracy team should be aware that they have allied themselves with a special interest that is never satisfied and that will always demand that we take additional steps toward the ultimate control state. I want to vote for this guy. And hope he stands for this. Here in italy it works in another way. For instance the italian piece of...... that proposed IPRED1 is from the Democratic Party (PD) - the very same ones that said "free downloads" in their manifesto. We are waiting for a bloodless revolution http://www.beppegrillo.it/eng/2007/05/otto_vasken_and_p2p.html
I've kept my mobile numer as SSID. If anyone needed wireless they could call in for the password, none did. After one year switched to FON ( http://www.fon.com/ )
..automate requests with a dictionary? Make them bankrupt themselves purchasing bogus domains? Looks like they are not paying for the domains! The article writes about a 5 days grace period that they enjoy because of their position.
Funny answer, but I didn't place such items on sale anywhere; I didn't brainwash people into thinking they are needed to live a happy life; I didn't pay any radio/tv station (against the law) to broadcast such personal data; I don't starve the designers of such documents with the excuse of recovering overinflated investments.
But I'll do as the music corporations do and be glad to provide YOURS to anyone:D (Do you realize that sony CEOs don't write songs... do you?)
The problem with your friend is that noone could care less.
It does not matter if this is a very good idea, it does not matter if it is good music neither it will matter if it's awayable in the shop at any price level.
Unless your friend is sponsored by some BIG oligopolist wasting some money on promotion the public will not look after the disk. You see I am convinced that there is a limited space for music in the average consumer and by filling that up with payola and MTV corporations instaurate a "de facto" monopoly on demand. Anyway... I've got Indie friends too and they're not releasing anything: http://www.myspace.com/theheatwaves (Downloads for free, no scratch cards)
alarming lack of either scruples or thought.
I mean, would you accept the availability of low-cost stolen car stereos and GPS-devices as a valid argument for why the electronics manufacturers should lower their prices? Brainwashing goes on. COPYING is not STEALING
'Deliberately disabling a desirable feature of a computer product is known as crippling a product, and software that does this is known as crippleware.' So can I use OGG/Theora on all the other pieces of hardware?
alleges that Apple dominates the market for online video, online music, and digital music players and that its dominance constitutes a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act Unlike Microsoft, which has been demonstrated used anticompetitive practices, the success of apple on the music market is due to superior products. Filling a suit to make out for poor competition is really lame and hypocritical.
As iTunes copies the tracks in AAC and MP3 then it is a illegal tool!
The RIAA whose members are financed by the iTunes Store with this precendt attack indirectly Apple. This is not FUD this is simply ridicolous.
In the short term Americans need to get rid of Imaginary Property claims as soon as possible as such models enforced in this way will have only the effect of suppressing free expression and creativity.
Actually the figure of pay per play in Windows Media is 10Eurocents. So you make it out that it is reasonable for those pigopolist to force you pay 130 times what you think is fair.
People when are you going to understand that this people deserves jailtime instead of a corporate seat?
According to a new report by Digital Music News, 36.4% of the world's computers have LimeWire installed. Given their claim that filling an iPod legally would cost about $40,000 LIERS!!!! DAMN LIERS!!!! If there were all this sharers then filling the iPod would take only MINUTES!
I know this souds paranoic, but my passwords, vital documents and logins are cripted on any machine I own. This way when my backup harddrive was fucked up and going to assistance I didn't have to worry too much on this issue.
BTW I wrote on that on epinions and got a very rought feedback from the "advisors" team...
HO MY GOD. I just watched the video clip. There are obvious lies allover the place and a terrible stench of shit.
Ok some lies are obviuos: We all know that a digital copy is a perfect original (digitally talking) so no one can tell the difference between a original CD or a copy just listening to the sound (the video states atrocious sound quality). We could make jokes about the suspicious packaging where some unlucky guy tasted a rootkit from sony and so on...
but most of the stench of crap comes from the assumption that only a pirate CD can contain the good tracks that make it "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE". This is just admitting that the music labels are producing and delivering inferior quality compilations. I repeat THEY DELIBERATELY SELL INFERIOR PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO SELL MORE AND ALSO CLAIM THAT PIRATES CAN DO BETTER. This also implies that there is NO COMPETITION. If there was some competition that would fill the gap producing legally these compilations. So in the USA now you have the signed proof that the music marked is not perfect and is in serious need for REGULATION to restore competition. If this clip was to be aired in the European Union they would be where they deserve (deep shit) with consumer unions already.
Now take MY advice for the shopping season. Don't buy any music, call the bastards airing those lies and... just if you really need then download some LEGALLY free at Jamendo (Guess none of these stations is givin this link)
Investment is a purchase of something tangible I was kidding indeed but I get you don't have any hint about the Futures and Options markets. In these cases you don't buy anithing but future property. Many use this as a way to scure transactions against incertainty while others just gamble.
As an horrible example (I know this is sad) it is rumored that some operators sold futures of american airlines before the WTC attak in order to profit from the subsequent crisis.
relating to the US passage last year of a law that forbids banks from handling money to and from online casinos Thus using internet to place investments in financial markets it is ufficially forbidden in the USA.:D

That's a lot of wasted toilet paper. Those prosecutors obviously don't care much about seriuos issues involving the environment.
And don't forget the lack of a heatsink!!!! Better not import that in iMovie while flying!! ahahahah.
