I'm not saying that i do this, not do I condone it...
digital copying may not be possible, but wouldnt sampling still be possible. I dont know of many algorithms that encrypt audible sound in a way that you cant just rerecord it.
Lots of projects, grand in scope, have been kept secret for months, years, decades and then released.
Some of these things were truely fantastic. Some of them were also just things that helped out NASA and found commercial application.
Hell, there's an uber-secret project going down at CalTech that I've only heard rumors about for years. And only one article written about it.
Oh yea. Just because somethings has been released at version 1.0 doesn't mean that people should have access to it. It's simply stable enough to "use". I don't even want to see the operating system until its fully-functional or able to be dealt with.
Give them time. Has MIT ever given you a project that has disappointed?
simply get 1000+ computers with as many large SCSI hard drives as possible.
[1000+ can easily be 10000+ or 100000000+, but lets be realistic:) ]
not for nothing, but is this for either
1. a reality based web-tv show
2. some bizarre web porn thing
3. some actual legitamite venture
4. security issue ?
the "killed" napster, and three offshoot services became big.
then kill these three and you'll get more.
if they thought about things for just a little bit, they would understand that they are just taking up too much time and making the problem bigger for themselves.
what they SHOULD do is go bother some annoying people... perhaps the HarryFox agency could help out this terrorist hunt -- if we dont catch the terrorist, we could at least strike in him the fear of taking away his mp3s.

i invented reading. i also copywrited everything i've ever written.
reading my post and thinking about it violates some sort of law, i think.

makes you think.

you could sell it to microsoft.
they win in that it is
1. less competition
2. borrow the technology
you win
1. you can swim in a lake full of cash

What ever did happen to the leisure suit larry series?
Graphics cards have advanced so much since the last revision... there should be another!
And if it was around... I'd want that first.
Then CIV3... but i've already had it.. in its unadulterated tin glory! (yea! it comes in tin!)

nothing is quite as irresponsible as supporting your software.
but think about this... is it not irresponsible to release code that isnt tested enough?
--donabal
usually i dont feed the trolls...
if by my website you mean one i post on ~3 times a year, yea. this is my website.
if by my website you mean the one that is put in my profile by DEFAULT, then suck my left testicle.
man, its people like you who rejected the fine art genious Adolf Hitler from art school who then got so angry that he decided to start world war 2.
ugh.
--donabal
yea. i hear about this EVERY TIME I START UP BORLAND C++BUILDER. [since last year...]
man... if only i cared.

sounds like a fad.
betcha those paper conservationists will be all over this saying that this will become too popular and we will lose the rainforest.
and god help us all if one of these caught fire.
think Wooden Athlon. "Warm in the winter"
--donabal
so the combination would be...
:)
Soyota?
or Tony?
a nice Tony, with leather seats. sounds italian enough for me.

lets fix all our social problems with the moon.
perhaps we can give israel half of the moon, and the palestinians the other half.
then no more land disputes.
plus, if they wanted to terrorize the earth, we'd seem them coming from over 100,000 miles away.
heh

this will be a powerful laser...
superfine precision, able to make fusion possible
perhaps drive-thru lasik surgery? =)

first my quantum fireball harddrive, now this.
compaq should just introduce an athlon with a quantum fireball, firewire, and no cooling devices ever.
if it doesnt catch fire, at least it will make you sterile.

ok. now these AC adapters cant come on airplanes. worse than box openers.

There should be a new operating system that is wholesome, healthy and comes in various flavors, from plain to sugary to apple-cinnamon-y.

IBM has been developing stuff like this for years, but little credit is given to them.
typing solutions aside, pointing devices without the devices!

18k isn't too bad.
didnt someone say that 640k would be enough for everyone?

feh. damn html.

Well, other than that... I don't know how to respond.
Perhaps some perl coding is in order.

excellent.
but can it run Embedded Windows XP? Which requires the processing power of an Alpha (yet doesnt support it)

but then walmart will want to sell family-sized black holes...
whats the world coming to?
seriously... first fusion, then black holes. what's next? soon we will be back at the arms race... again..
