In Sweden my ISP has this link on their website and are the main supporters of the site.

Its in swedish but it basically a site that explains the situation of filtering and the freedom of the internet. It gets normal people aware of the situation. Im proud of my ISP.
Take a $200 device that is fragile (it's ruggedized but still electronics), is an environmental hazard to dispose of, and has a lifespan measured in years...and use it to replace books, which are far more rugged, cheaper to produce, and have a lifespan measured in centuries. There are good reasons to spread information technology, but "should be used to replace books" is not one of them. Now your talking hardware. Once your fragile $200 device is getting old. just transfer your books to some new platform. Electronic books for schools are good ideas. Some textbooks get expensive especially if you need to get the latest edition every year.
I look on the internet nowdays if I need to look up some information. The last time I picked up a physical Encyclopedia has been many years ago.
Also to note, schoolbooks used over a period of several years by 5th graders do not last so long.
I agree with the whole expresso machine metaphor however
OLPC is a rich man's idea of what poor men need. It's like donating an expresso machine to a homeless shelter.
Havn't I already paid for my Bandwidth and Doesn't Microsoft get money from game developers to have there demo on LIVE (maybe).
I download tones of shit off the internet on a daily basis. I dont need a gold subscription to get everything else off the internet.
When I bought my xbox 360 this gift was something that was in the product description and every game i buy says "downloadable content" available on the back.
Anyway the whole subscription thing for consoles is something I can get on my PC for free. I can download demos. I can play online for several of my favorite games for free.
If there is a game that is available for the console and the pc. I usually buy it on the pc if it has online play.
The only use for a wireless keyboard is for example using your media center from your sofa. Or in home environment where you want your desk to look "pretty". So in this case the keyboard hacker has to worry about breaking down my front door first.
Wireless keybords at work? I dunno.
There was no good reason for them to have it, other than looking cool, but they got it anyway.
as said above -- maybe to be cool. What are we in high school
I use skype because of the encryption. Its fast too. And sending files is quick as well even if i am behind a firewall. Unlike other messanger services I know of.
Here in Sweden I don't think we will have this problem. I think the infastructure is set up quite well. I got a fiber going right into my house and for 100 Mbit/s up and down I pay about 40 bucks a month. However this is not the same for everyone. I think only newer neighborhoods have the fiber. the rest have adsl.
I dunno about you guys but when i buy a game I play it and finish it (or quit playing because it sucks) and then on to the next one. The rate they are pumping out games now days, I see no reason to worry about past saved games.
But on the other hand if I were in the middle of a game such as Oblivion and I have finished all of the guilds perhaps I may back up the saved game but once i finish playing it doesnt matter anymore.
what's with all the common sense about teaching children about the dangers of the Internet before allowing them to use it? That is just politically incorrect, the author can't possibly be an American! Does Homeland Security know this guy is trying to take their job from them? Absolutely criminal!
hehe Taking away homland security's job. Thats a good one. Good point though.
Its like doing a huge research project or a book with a bunch of people and not being able to have your name on the end. It has nothing to do with the public except those who are interested.
I would be royally pissed off if I worked one something for many months or years and I dont even get to have my name on the product.
The prefect situation for me would be to have a e-paper module added to the top of a small laptop lid. That way i can read any documentation off the back of the laptop without having to even turn it on. You can cache emails, webpages or anything that you need to read from the laptop while its on and read it later from the lid.
Games are fun because they are a challenge. Sure the graphics and content are aimed towards different audiences but when I am playing a game like zelda and hitting buttons like crazy to swing my sword to kill bad guys it feels good when I succeed. This is a feeling of acomplishment and it is the same in all games. Just because I feel good at beating up a guy playing some adult game doesn't mean I would get the same effect if I were to go out in real life and do it.
It's the same thing with tv. Home alone is a kids show and the kid is running away from bad guys but other horror movies are the same thing (good guys is getting away from bad guys). Its just aimed at a different audience. And sometimes the bad guy even gets to win (or kill almost all the main characters anyway).
Ok to the point. Its entertainment. We to it to challenge ourselves or entertain ourselves by being scared or happy becaus the guy finally got the girl. There is different forms of media for different audiences.
I dunno. I sometimes think that companies that offer overtime pay you less to compensate for the wage difference. I would rather get paid a monthly wage that is quite good instead of overtime. That way I can work harder at work so I dont have to stay after hours and still get a nice pay check.
Is it done on a server before it hits your phone or does the phone change the html?
If it is done on the phone just use the opera browser for your mobile phone instead of the build in browser. http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/
I think it rocks.
And why have a white list. Why not get the sites targeting the mobile market to use meta data much like the meta data used for search engines.
meta name="transformhtmlforbetterviewingsuage" content="nochange"
to me to have a white list is not very good. Imagine if all the mobile suppliers use this technology and all have a white list. bad idea. People develop there sites so they are displayed the way they want it to be. I would be pissed as well if someone changed the way my site looked especially if I made it especially for mobile phones.
Exchange is in the mix, too, because of the links between the office suite, email, and intranet.
I agree. You can also look at Sharepoint. The new 2007 release of SharePoint is top notch. If you had a very customizable portal product that is incorporated around open office it would be a very attractive alternative to Office 2007 bundle especially if you had an email platform along with it.
I dont know if there is, but if open office had a great api for both the web and desktop applications as well as for several development platforms it could be a nice alternative to the office suite. Looks to me there is still alot of work to be done.
Perhaps then it will be the web 2.0 compatible... or was that 1.7.
Well I always find when I play even games like Oblivion and Im doing the Dark Brotherhood guild I will start off playing happily.
But after an hour or to when all lifes problems have dissapeared and I am fully consumed by the game a ghost will come popping out of a side hallway and it will scare the crap out of me. Now if I were just miniutes into the game it would not have had the same effect.
So it is true the more you become immersed within the game the more the game elements affects your emotions including fear.
I know it is the new way of making a product attractive and sell more.
1. Make a generally good product 2. Make sure its hackable 3. Let others develop add-ons(hacks) and make it more appealing 4. Sell more units without the cost of development & support. 5. $$$$$$$$$$
Real player is soooo not good. I will never download it again. Back in the day when i actually installed it, it was suck a pain in the ass. And the download process was horible. I for one agree that the Real brand is dead. I havn't even seen an rm file in years. And if i seen one I would not even attempt to watch it.

Also to note. I live 20 min drive from the city.

Very true. I mean if something does its job perfectly well why change it. Its like recreating the wheel.
Of course perhaps now it has some reason to change

Sounds like a Halo Situation
perhaps Dr Freeman's suit in HL 2....
Uhh.. a comment like this makes me think I gotta quit playing games for awhile.
Dude. I finished the game without any help and yes it was really hard. many many hours
I remember having to jump of a ledge and shot the guy in the cockpit on the way down because if i missed i was a dead man.
ahhh good times.

sweet. I'm gonna love this e-papper era.

I dont see why they dont have 1 big tank that can be shared. I mean all you need is hoses after that.
On the other hand I have no idea what the f*** im talking about. I've never even thought of building anything for space before.

Ah yes the noise.. Now if you combine that with a liquid cooled system you have complete silence.
That would ROCK.
I would actually consider having a media center pc in my living room.
Do you think other people in the world accessing sites in the USA are also affected by this "Content Filtering" that these bastards do?
