sure, but what about the first guy who figures out how to get skype to work? Yes, I know what Steve Jobs said about developer's abilities to write programs. (they just appear to be fancy scripts) But as soon as someone figures out how to hack the limitations out, then we can use some of that free bandwidth.
how about now? (I'm talking about the DVD player issue) When the first AACS key was made known, a second key was developed. At some point the the very-near-future, HD-DVD players with the old key will now be able to play new HD-DVDs, unless the user upgrades. I think DRM will always be around, but it will need to get more agressive, for it to work. The problem is, when it gets to the point that it's in-your-face all the time, eventualy the general public will say "enough". I just need to wait untill then. In the mean-time, the cat-and-mouse game will continue with hackers (and crackers) breaking the newest "best" DRM, and the companies pouring more money into a broken system. (IMHO)
so that makes the church kinda like the senate of spirituality?
All in favor, raise your right hand and say "amen", those opposed, you're a bunch of hell-bound flaming liberals.
the desktop is just an optional interface. Just like running Gnome or KDE on a *nix box. On the Plan 9 site, they mentioned "The system as a whole is likely to feel tantalizingly familiar to Unix users but at the same time quite foreign.", so it's not just aimed at a supercomputer, but can also be used by the average hacker.:)
Ah, what the heck. I might as well try it under qemu or vmware. light system requirements. (32 MB ran, 300 MB HD)
ok. say there are 6 people, that's 1200 pounds. bugger chutes, more fuel, who knows what else, that would add even more weight. Falling out of the sky mach 25 (at 120 km up), think about the extra trusting power it would take to avoid wither shaking to pieces or leaving a crater at Edwards. The more powerful thrusters and extra propellant would take more fuel at launch, requiring more space for the extra fuel, requiring slightly more fuel.
Then there's storage of these things when landing. I know how annoying it is to have something sliding from side to side in the back of my truck, but while flying your shuttle home at the end of the day? That would get on anyone's nerves.:)

yes, they did. With discontent, lack of freedoms, and economic failure. These (might) be part of the reason that all the czars are gone (dead).

Home, with an ssh connection to my uber box at "work".
I agree. They could have just dumped the xVid on bittorrent until the digg/slashdot effect is over.
