From TFA: Yarnton encouraged commentators to "look beyond just the name, at the whole philosophy of what we're about," and said that he expected people to have a very different perception of the Wii once they've played the device at E3. [Emphasis mine]
This makes it sound like there will be a Wii playable on the floor at E3. Other reports I've heard made it sound like it would only be playable by a few select people.
I would add/usr/bin/sort to that list. I don't think I would be able to live without being able to do: du -ks * | sort -nr to find out how much each sub-directory is taking up.
True, if you just gave a revolution with some games they may not be visiably excited. But, what if it was given out on an Oprah show about the revolution which also demonstrated it's cool capabilities and controls. Maybe also get a few audience members to try out the system, and then everyone will be excited when they look under their seats and get this super cool revolution that they have been watching.
Nintendo is too smart not to do a multipronged marketting strategy like this with the revolution, especially if they are targetting non-traditional gamers who have pretty much just given up on games and think of them as being for their teenager.
Oops, apparently they are talking about 100Gbe, not 1000Gbe, in which case it's only a PCIe x40 which isn't too bad since they have a standard up to x32. It would only take a year or to I imagine to get to the bandwidth needed.
I'm curious, what does one do with ten 60GB iPods? It seems that you keep one for yourself and sell the other 9 on eBay. Maybe give some to your friends? Maybe give an iPod to your senator?
It just seems like ten iPods is a lot for one person and will just end up being given away.
You need to see the movie 'The Producers' and it will explain everything. Basically he can make more money with a flop than with a hit. Combine that with a loophole in the German tax code and he is rolling in the dough. The guy is probably having so much fun making movies, combine that with no financial incentive to make the movie do well, and you have a guy who will just continue to make bad movies.
The site is just pointing that those phrases you mentioned are not in the constitution verbatum. Some similar ideas may be expressed or implied in parts of the constitution as you said, but those exact phrases are not present in the constitution.

Most people think that computer attacks/hack attempts are personal and thus think 'Nobody would want to hack MY computer'. Explain that these attacks are not personal and are often carried out automatically by an infected computer. Explain that there are only ~4Billion possible internet locations the computer can search and it will only take a few days for a computer to search all possible locations on the internet. Remind them that a computer can do over a billion things a second which is why it can search so many computers locations so quickly.
Clinging to a principle for no practical reason is fanaticism, it's just that when it's YOUR principle, suddenly it's all about morality and your rights. Right?
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
What everyone is missing is that they don't pay taxes on the revenue from the movie until it turns a profit and that the entire expense of the movie is tax deductable, not just the loss from the movie.
So, if they make $50 million a year, that would be $27.5M after taxes if they didn't invest.
But if they did invest $20M in a movie, they would end up with $16.5M after taxes. Now, if the movie makes $12M (technically an $8M loss), they will still end up with $28.5M (a net gain of $1M vs not investing).
Yes the movie still had to make some money, but it can take a loss and still make the investor end up with more money vs not investing.

You may like the movies in 30 seconds done by Angry Alien. These are 30 second movie reenactments of popular movies done by bunnies. Quite entertaining.
It seems that they will end their flat fee sometime within the next 12 months. This gives them plenty of time to decide on pricing and get public opinion on the issue.
If there were a major backlash, I wouldn't be surprised if they back off the decision.
Actually, wouldn't the company in this case be guilty of circumventing the "locks" the programmer put in place? That'd be a DMCA violation wouldn't it?
From TFA, this was filed in 1996, pre-DMCA. Now it would be a DMCA violation, but back then it wouldn't have been.
That's fine, as long as I can have another code for space (.nil?) where specific countries' laws don't apply, and I can put a satellite there and host my datahaven in the.nil TLD.:) Maybe I don't want to be forced to choose a country.
And who would maintain such a country code? Which countries would recognize such a country code? Who would regulate such a country code? It has to be done by someone and by definition that someone must exist in a country and as such must be governed by their laws.
Sorry about that. I guess great minds think alike:). It just seems the most obvious compromise. The fact that the internet has existed for so long without forcing country codes is kind of amazing considering it's rapid globalization.
Forcing country codes just seems like the next logical step.
A shared parent would be required for the two "Root" systems to interoperate. That parent would then be a single "Root". Then you are right back to where you started.
Not necessarily. If each country had their own 'root' server for it's.NN country code and there were no true TLDs. Each country would just set up their root servers to forward to every other countries 'root' server. This would yield a more P2P type system where each country just 'peers' to the other countries, but maintains control of their own.NN country code without a need for the OTRSFTI (One True Root Server For The Internet).

I think .m would be a better choice, only one keypress.

It sounds like we just need a PCIe x400 standard. At 2.5Gbs per link times 400 links is a nice 1000Gbs.

we are developing technology that will change the way people play First Person games by doing away with the whole concept of 'levels'
Guess they have never played Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime: Echos. This is not a new idea and has been around for many years.
which has been the primary progression mechanic every first person game has used.
Maybe this is true for every first person that they have played, but certainly not every first person game in existance (see example above).

The DMCA does not apply. From TFA, this suit was filed in 1996, pre-DMCA.
Remove all domains entirely and operate soley on IP addresses.
So how do you refer to sites in the case of multiple domains hosted on a single IP address?
Isn't this a direct contradiction of the DMCA?
From TFA, this suit was filed in 1996, pre-DMCA. Now it would be a DMCA violation, but back then it wouldn't have been.
