I use iPlayer, I dont care what format they choose to deliver their content in or if it has DRM. If I want to watch it, thats the flavour it comes in, if you dont like it then dont watch it. What does annoy me is the Kontiki P2P service, its constantly eating into my bandwidth by uploading my downloads to other clients. My bandwidth costs me money, why should I be paying to help the BBC redistribute its content ?
Does going digital mean missing music ? MP3's contain less than 10% of CD music. Am I missing something here, are do you listen to analogue CD's ? Its digital being converted to digital, there is no "going digital" involved in the process anywhere.
OK, bad choice of words, but you get what I'm saying. A decayed signal may be more readable with technology 100-billion years in the future.
And whats wrong with Beef Steaks ???
Most of these "tech predictions" cant even get 10 years ahead right, now they are trying to predict science in 100-billion years ?? Oh please.
"Its wavelength will have been shifted to a full meter, and its intensity will drop by 12 orders of magnitude." - Perhaps in 100-billion years they may have slightly better technology than we have now, or did you miss this ?
On my phone, if I miss a call then my answer service calls me back immediately to tell me I have a missed call. Does it expect me to answer this one, when I missed the last call ????
Its not going to make the country any safer, the police are still failing (due to no fault of their own). This is typical Blair policy, don't do anything that actually makes a difference - do something that looks like it should.
Yes, its old news. Your hypothetical conversation recorded in 2002/1999 would not be OLD if it were published today, but if it was published in 2005 & re-published today, then it would be OLD news. The links in question have been published a long time ago, hence OLD news.
Just downloaded & installed PowerShell. First command I tried was cd\ (I never type spaces), it would work under DOS, PowerShell didn't like it. Think I'll stick with DOS for now.
But no suprise that the US makes this announcement in response to Castro's comments, but its not a response - its totally unrelated - they were going to say this anyways (Yeah right). Shamed into saying it ?
It will change something. It means the hijackers can now be anyone, not just those who can fly a plane. Now any nut with a gun can kill the pilots, and threaten to kill all passengers unless they get landed where ever they demand.
"why experienced Web developers find themselves struggling to learn a GUI toolkit"
You should be using engineers who understand what they are doing, some of us know GUI toolkits inside out & never touch web apps (unless we have to). Your coming at the problem from the "what we know" angle, not the "what we need to know" angle.
When Microsoft got done for anti-competitive practices a few years ago, they decided their own punishment - and donated computers & software to schools - effectively giving the competitors an even harder time in this market. There is no point punishing M$ - they are above the law.

We are going to start charging the stupid more for education.

11 months is quite good really, it took Deep Thought 7.5 million years to get to 42 !!!

My next PC may well be my phone, but it will be running Linux.
So where should he go ? British Columbia of course !
"If computers were secure, we wouldn't need to make them secure". OK, Einstein, how do they get to be secure in the first place.

So M$ is going to develop internet based apps, laden with adverts ? Great, just fugging great. :#
Cause MAC users hate M$ as well as /.
