Could someone please enlighten me on what an eBook reader is?
A program just used to display a document?
A program used to read the books with a voice?
A device on which you can upload documents for the sole purpose of reading them?
..we will see space-shuttles being hacked in the same way wii gets hacked: People tears it apart and use it for pretty much any neat project.
"Hmm, i wonder if these thrusters could heat up my apartment, instead of the old fasion fireplace i have"
I am currently working on using a wii controller as primary pointing-device for my livingroom. The goal is to make it the only device needed to controll the projector + PC i use for DVD, TV, and Music playback in my home. I will post info when i've figured it all out.
Microsoft and Google have been strengthening their fronts against eachother for a few years now before the epic battle. Personally i'm just happy that Microsoft has a competitor that not only has the strength required, but also has a very different way of running things, thus resulting in one of them remaining as the evolved winner
that Microsoft will not support it.. afterall they never fully supported HTML in the first place:P
on a serious note, though.. i urge every web developer to stop treating MSIE as a special case, since it does not follow standards. Instead, code it according to the w3 standards, and if IE doesn't display it properly, add something that redirects users to an info-site about why they can't view the site, and recommend that they download a decent browser.
yes they should.
Wikipedia has always been my source for information, but when i need something in perticular, for example a guide to a method or a procedure, i've always used everything2.com since i have a largere chance of finding it there. I would love for wikipedia to have all the knowledge i need. Plus... wasn't just that their goal anyways?
Ah, i wish i was around when the transistor was invented. I, like my father, and my fathers father, am an electronics geek. My grandpa used to be a teacher in the field of electronics, and he told me that the invention of the transistor led to all electronics-teacher were called in for a course on the transistor. I doubt that any device to come can change or suplement so much in a field anymore as the transistor did to electronics.
..this means that people covered by US law can refuse investigators access to their PC, for example if they are under investigation for piracy, but they also have 5Gb of childporn on their PC? Or did i misunderstand completly?
agreed.
If they tell the customers that they are being monitored, they will behave differently, no doubt
If the don't tell them, wouldn't that be a breach of the basic privacy laws?
Regardless of the lisence, people still breach it by making backspacewar eof it. I've seen it happend to alot of my work, which is why i avoid making it opensource unless people ask for it, or when it's a project i don't really care about. I don't make much commercial software, although i like to keep my name on my work to receive credit where credit is due.
...is that changing the name of the author a breach of pretty much any lisence there is, as well as the general copyright law. I am aware of this happening alot, which is why i rarely release source code of my works, unless it is a project that took less than a day to write.
Agreed. Without napster 10 years ago, we'd still have to buy overpriced albums, when all you really is to hear a few songs to figure out whether it's worth buying at all. I, as most people here i bet, download music in the old way of pirating, but good music always ends up being bought. If it wasn't for napster leading the way for p2p downloads, thus allowing me to easier find new music to listen to, my CD collection would have been tinyer than my penis..

Anything that can produce ethanol is good. Hopefully the increased energy output means more drunk. (fuel was never my primary use of ethanol anyways)
I doubt i'm the only one who didn't need PCworld to say that before i realized it
..he just demands, thus nobody dears opose him

If this is what i think it is, then it's exactly what i need, since i don't have the law-background needed to write a lisence myself.

THAT would have been news
...unless you count "acting as any company with some sense of business-strategy would have done" as news.
That's what you get for not educating your teachers when it comes to modern technology. (yep, i am being sarcastic)
Because alot of people just want an excuse to wear their tinfoil hat in public

Wasn't this covered a few days ago?
read the faq, it's explained there. plus i am a web developer, not a designer, that's ahuge difference.
q: What is the definition of someone who codes php and html?
a: someone who hangs with programmers

I gotta get one of those. I've always been a fan of retro and nostalgia when it come to technology. I can't seem to find a price, though :/
