Burn them in lover speeds. 2 years durability thats what you get when you pay a lot of bucks so that insted of waiting 15 minutes, you only wait 10 minutes.
And then there is all the windows lamers who dont understand that windows cant multitask, and that multitask doesnt mean what bill gates says it means, so they sit and do a lot of shit stuff with their computers while burning that cd for five minutes. Then they wonder why it doesnt work, why the cds doesnt last or why some computers cant read them.
Why should i choose a format that have all possibilities to have DRM included in the future thus allowing only one read. And will require Electricity to read.
This is especially true for for factbooks who are often used as reference and not to be read just one time.
So far Ebooks cant beat the paper version in portability, convenience and ease of use.
Well at 02:24 CET their page is up. I know it was down earlier today. When someone posted about them in an earlier story.

ITs a monitor with the text: Relax Worry Free software
What an doubly ambigous meaning. They probably meant Worryfree software, but instead it became a warning to worry for free software. Atleast I read it that way.
Q:We are constantly losing PCs and PC parts to thieves. The NIC is physically smaller. Do they make a more attractive target for thieves?
A:You shouldn't be losing any. The NIC will not function as a standalone computer so if a machine is stolen, the thief will soon discover that there is no market for the machine.
Uhhhm, no market? Well to me it feels like they are dooming their own device right there and then from the start...
The article submitter says: "I don't know if they have any patents, we all know some prior "art" from 2001, er.. 1968. HAL's accomplishment was also mentioned by CNN during 2001 in an article about this group's work."
Is there not a difference between the idea and the way to implement the technical solution. Meaning thay cannot patent the idea, but they can still patent the code itself for the way thwe code works.
There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired.
Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multi-million dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine fixed, but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past.
The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small "x" in chalk on a particular component of the machine and proudly stated, "This is where your problem is."
The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges.
The engineer responded briefly: Chalk mark $1 Knowing where to put the chalk mark $49,999

While Cheapness is important, I dont think that should be a limit, since it can create a lot of discussion and manipulation of the cost.
The best is if they try to take in as many contestants as possible.
If they want to use an economical limit to reduce the number of contestants they should decide a maxcost or something such.
Thats a lot of porn...

Its a secret killer robot , which the Japanese prime minister uses as a bodyguard.
When the japanese have finished this robot it may perhaps become the governor of California?

Why dont you Americans vote for Alan Cox's MBA as a Governor of california.

The article lists one of the features being:
a biometric room safe that uses a thumbprint as the lock and key
Ok, what do they do if the guest leaves without reseting the safe?
Or do they have someway to open the safe without the guests thumbprint. Do they not eliminate the purpose of the safe then?

Paperbook still seems more favorable to me.

Not frightened me so much but the atmosphere was one of the best gameexperiences I've ever had.
The border world Xen part wasnt as funny.

Just curious. What does everyone think?
