This is something linux could definatly benifit from. A form of plug and play that not only detects the new device, but will goto a internet repository of drivers, and select the correct one based on a device id provided by the new device.
The Woz suggested something similar to this once, his idea was based on including the driver in some rom on the device. A good idea, but limited because then mfg cost goes up to include a memory chip on the device, and if the driver shipped with the unit is buggy, that can be a problem.
With an internet based driver warehouse, you could always get the latest driver. There would need to be a new architecture for this, a standard driver interface, that would be compatable across all kernel versions, and possibly even multiple os's. I think there are a few things in the works like this, but if you're going to do it, do it right and make it robust as possible. This is the open source community, there is no reason we should accept any less.
In this age where net connections are nearly standard, and high speed connections are making there way to the majority, there is no reason we shouldn't make this a reality. And it doesn't have to be LIMITED to downloading drivers over a network, it should also be able to load them the old fassion way from a disk.

This is probably the first time in many years the government has actualy done something pro consumer.
This is great for consumers, because it means the os company will be forced to release API informatino to everyone, if they did not the app company would tank. This will put all software companies on a level playing field, and windows software may begin to not suck after people figure out the right way to write for windows (right now I would say its a black art like voodoo).
Better software is good for users. Now we will be able to get the functionality of Office and all the integration without the crappy microsoftisms. Tyranny = Government choosing how much power to give the people.

You can't even sell a t-shirt with the likeness of billgates or any comment about microsoft without getting in huge trouble. But if you have a name or anything else microsoft wants, bend over and prepare yourself for the rod and shaft of microsoft!

Who cares? Even our largest nukes wouldn't make a crater to compare to the astroid hits that mark the moon. And radiation? so what? one warhead detonated in space is like a m80 in a bonfire, don't people realize that the hippies 'smiling sun' is the biggest dirtiest nuclear reactor for several lightyears?
Some people are just so incredibly ignorant about anything nuclear it's painful.
A nuke set off on the moon would have been a huge victory in the cold war, saying to the russians 'hey, we can hit the *MOON* with our missiles, you think you are safe?'

Socket coppermines are flipchip designs, and require an adapter for use in a regular celeron s370. This wouldn't be much of a problem except for the space limitations in this device.
Also, there is the concern of voltage, the motherboard may not support the lower voltage requirements of the cu chips, requiring an even more extensive adapter setup to use a cu p3.

Fighting UCITA
·
· Score: 1
A community was formed to fight DiVX and was successful in its goal to protect consumers. If a similar organization could be made to educate people and prevent them from buying UCITA software, we could put stop to this kind of insane law making. Perhaps a Ribbon campaign to start with, to get the word out and drum up some support. If we can defeat the corporations anti-consumerism (DiVX) the government anti-consumerism (UCITA) should be easy. Tyranny = Government choosing how much power to give the people.
When a sex offender is convicted of sex crimes, they don't castrate the convict and brainwash him from ever having any sexual thoughts again.
But when a cracker is convicted, they can no longer go near technology (total hypocracy, let us not forget all the convicted sex offenders who are found teaching at schools etc by the evening news) and now they cant even TALK about technology!
The fellows involved in watergate are free to talk about their stories and make major amounts of cash, but Mitnick can't say cellphone without violating his probation?
If this government miscontrol of the technological revolution continues, they are going to end up with a REAL revolution on their hands. Let us hope some people with the ability to think are elected before the U.S. totaly goes to hell.

Metalica is now the Gary Coleman of the Music Industry....How soon till we see this lars fellow in UGO banner ads whining for people to give him money.
This is another example of Lucas giving up on his original dreams to make more money.
He realized he can release a regular dvd now, whicheveryone will buy, and then again the special one he originaly intended when all the movies are done and we will all buy that too.
Maybe if we are lucky the episode1 special edition will edit out jarjar...
I dont know why everyone is all excited about this, we havn't won anything.
I would rather developments be made by a military designed for combat then a corporation designed for capitolism.
The saying 'give me liberty or give me death' applies here. You can be enslaved by corporatism (think divx, DCMA, UCITA) which would be the loss of liberty, of benifit from the military (which exists for war, war being controlled death to acheive a goal).
Besides, a game where you drive a tank around is always going to sell better then a game where you file paperwork for your supervisor's supervisor in a megalomerate.

A 'stock eye' does not average less then perfect, and average eye IS perfect, because in eyesight perfect is defined as the average.
This is why people with 20/10 vision are said to have better then perfect vision (colder then absolute zero, below the baseline, I know I know).
