What's your argument here? How are they less relevant now than 30 years ago?
Everything and it's dogs toys, is getting networking and computerization; heating, stoves, fridges, vehicles, television, stereos, etc.
Wouldn't it make more sense (10 years down the line) for each household to have one mainframe that runs everything, including your normal PC needs? If you are one of those who thinks 'cloud' computing is the next step, no one will stop you from adding your mainframe.
And what are the benefits of having a desktop at each desk, compared to a giant mainframe in the basement, especially when stuff like your cellphone/pda/laptop, could transmit data to/from it via wireless, you don't really need the physical object there to plug in to, and it saves a lot of office space, wiring issues, and instead of having the desktop die, and the worker screwed for the day, the mainframe can lose hardware, and just route around it, and you wont notice.
You could argue that keeping all pennies in one jar creates a greater risk of losing it all at once, but... it's just as likely that the entire building could burn down too.
It's not an end-all-be-all, but I don't see why it's suddenly irrelevant, electric cars have been around for 120 years, funny how they came back.
I don't use NetFlix, nor do I really know how their conversion from original-to-internet goes, but given that Columbo is old, it was likely converted years ago, and since it isn't exactly a popular show, they just haven't gotten around to reformatting it for Silverlight.
Fire up an episode/movie of something released this month, and it will probably ask for a player upgrade.
First of all, it wasn't "at the expense" of any of the other industries, they didn't lose anything... secondly "One step at a time" or more like one brick, yeah sure he could have said "send money to our hospital" or something, but he was probably thinking more about how pissed/upset his wife would have been than actually having any influence on economies...
If someone discredits you and yours, is your immediate reaction "shit, we need to help the local manufacturers"...
Hmm, stop copping out and using english, use your own fucking language!
Maybe she (could be male) has already tried, or maybe she doesn't have the time. If you get subpoena'd, is your immediate reaction "pfft, fuck it, I can do all this lawyering myself", it's part of the foundation of society, families, employers, and employees, we all can't do everything, so we specialize, and use those specialties where applicable, otherwise we ask for help, as long as there is someone to ask.
But, who asked is irrelevant, the idea behind questions being posted on Slashdot, isn't really to answer that one persons request, but also to answer other peoples, and get more peoples attention on the matter, which means more people investigating, a broader base of knowledge, eventually it's common knowledge, and no one really needs to do your own fucking research. Hundreds (thousands?) have people have done this already, and considering it's not physics, or chemistry or anything, chances are whatever their conclusion is, is perfectly usable, but since it's not commonly known yet, it still needs "advertising".
Or in brief: this doesn't hurt anything, it's making people think about a (plausibly) good thing (education, better/cheaper/more efficient/more open), so stfu.
I presume given your sig, and your comment, that your interest, and therefore your consciousness is tuned toward quantum += mechanics, so thats how you relate to things.
But I think that basically what you are saying is what Karl Marx said about the transitions of government: Capitalism to Socialism to Communism, and then repeat, or reverse.
So fundamentally anything related to laws and regulations, may go through the same sort of cycle.
Or I could have misinterpreted what you said entirely. After reading the wiki you pointed to, perhaps what you meant was more like a radical freedom, or even what could be called chaos, and then inevitable reformation, but it's basically the same.
I am aware of that, however that is still a software problem, it's not designed directly into the hardware that reads/writes the CD's, you can put that sort of DRM on anything, a cassette tape, an SSD, a hard drive, etc...
How does applying the benefits of blue lasers, to red lasers, mean anything to DRM?
Yes, the new CD's might contain DRM, but it's not because they changed the optics/properties of the disc. But perhaps I was looking at this as more of an achievement in hardware, instead of just an opinion on new content distribution, ie: "new breakthrough in laser disc technology" and not "use our shit cuz our shit rocks da socks"
Fair enough, so theoretically (I haven't RTFA), they could opt for your second option, and conform better to Red Book, and thus make their claim of better reading ability on standard CD drives, while (possibly) increasing the errors on CD-Roms, or probably more likely vice-versa, as then more people would be playing them on CD-Roms where DRM implementations are easier (see option 1)...
Maybe I'm an idiot, but how could you apply DRM to it if it works with standard CD players?
DRM can only be applied (in this case) via software, naturally the data stored on it could be encrypted, but that has nothing to do with the technology here, you'd have to find a way to apply DRM to lightwaves or something, therefore DRM would be up to the content distributor, just like everything else.
If they had developed a new hardware (ie: new player + new cd format) then DRM could be embedded into the hardware. This is basically the equivalent of making your household taps spit out water at a higher PSI, it's not converting the water into something else, or adding anything to it.
Why does it have to be a forced choice? and what's wrong with a forced choice?
When you buy a new car, you have all sorts of "forced choices" you can make, 2 door, 4 door, I4, V6, V8, Petrol, Diesel, manual/automatic transmission, heated seats, 16, 17, 18, 19 inch rims, undercoating, paint color, warranty based on miles, warranty based on years, etc... even after you buy the car you have choices to make, insurance, premium/supreme/various octanes gases, what tires to buy when the stock ones wear out...
Or, you don't, you can by a preset configuration, use whatever gas you happen to stop next to, leave it up to the "default" or mechanics decision on new tires, and what anti-freeze to use...
If you buy a new PC, you have similar choices, processor (engine), HD space (seats), videocards (headlights), color, normal/slim form factor, etc, and most online purchases have a plethora of other options, like 4 different printers, 3 mice, external HD/mem sticks, etc...
I hear more people complain about a lack of options when buying a car then too many options, as far as "confuse non-technical people" goes, that's up to the dealer/website descriptions of benifits/drawbacks...
Should OEMs be forced to provide choices? No, but it will usually if not always help their business, just like a Porsche (only) dealer, probably makes less money than than a Dodge + Jeep + Chrysler dealer will... just like AlienWare Vs Dell, or HP, etc...
As for DAC/ADC most people would only look at them like they are crazy if the retailer just said "so, do you want DAC, or ADC?" and when the customer asks "whats the benefits?" their only response is "DAC or ADC???"... if the retailer explains the advantages/disadvantages, almost anyone would be able to pick, those who don't care, will just ask "well what do you think?" retailer (usually) sells them the most expensive one...done...
The customer should have choices, it benefits both the customer (oooh specialized) and the retailer (more units sold), but those choices don't have to be every option every known to the product, usually just the "expected" options, and right now, people don't expect a Web Browser option, and that's what needs to change.
As far as the retailer is concerned, I don't think they really care about browsers, it wont change their per-unit costs, but it will (most likely) attract more customers, and as a psychological effect, once you provided choices, people tend to want to make more choices.
Possibly, but it could also be from... Fuck Off = Middle Finger and/or whatever you call that fisting version = long pointy object = pike = tip of spear
It's not considered a swear, but can be backtracked to its original meaning visually and literally.
Even something as obtuse as "fsck" replacing "fuck" still can be derivative... "Generally, fsck is run automatically at boot time when the system detects that a file system is in an inconsistent state" generally when someone is "inconsistent" with your "state" (thought, motive, etc) you tell them to fuck off...
The average user, is entirely unaware of this whole heated battle of the browsers nonsense.
To them, all they see is "new update to Safari available", and they install it, and suddenly they have all these new amazing features, because to them, they are new.
Stability and consistency is far more important than the latest and greatest toys. Personally, I have no real use or preference for Safari, but I'm not going to attack them for simply bringing in some features their users might like. Chances are pretty good that every feature of every single browser, of every platform, was already created somewhere else beforehand.
Likewise, especially if you are a fanboi of whatever browser you use, you will rant and rave about how it has this feature that no other browser has, yet, you don't actually use it.
And lastly, it's not exactly an instantaneous thing, there are quite a few factors they have to take into consideration, it's not just as easy as "hey thats cool, lets add that to ours" and 2 days later its coded, tested, packaged and posted. Much like any software, there is a 1 to 1.5 years between major releases, and you can't exactly force every browser to align their releases.
Besides, Safari 4.0 has been around for almost a year as a developers preview.
Because the BBC (and many others) have thousands of employees, and millions of dollars, and can potentially publish hundreds of stories/articles a second.
Slashdot, has like 35 employees, and fuck all for money in comparison, and the stories are published in sequence/intervals, rather than as they happen, or even as soon as possible.
It's been said before, but this is by no means the latest, freshest, most up to date news on the web, frankly I'm surprised it got here as quick as it did (although a few people mentioned it in off-topic comments hours ago)
You were doing pretty good till...pay for Opera... which has been free for like 4 years now, but even worse:...never in my life buy a German car, simply because it is not American... What? never? I suppose you dont use Opera because it's Norwegian, or Firefox because those 'grubby little europeans' might have their source coding fingers in the pie. You wouldn't even buy a BMW, Volkswagon, Audi, Benz, etc or Volvo if it was a better price and offered more that you needed than any American car in the price range? Does safety come into your equasions? What about Chryslers? they were with Daimler (German) for a decade ('98 - '07).
What make is your TV? What about your bed, you might be getting some foreign cooties in your sleep.
Sadly I think your comment will fall on deaf ears. Or skimmed to something like:
...Because Microsoft FORCES you...five BILLION other fucking icons...which will confuse the heck out of people...or...shells that barely work...Windows becomes a clusterfuck
Did I miss something, or have you? That is exactly what my Windows does... I'm really not sure how long it's been doing it (as thats something I never do normally), wether it's because of IE8, or XP SP3, but it launches Opera (my default) for any url typed into the Explorer address bar, as well as any shortcuts with urls.
The only things that force IE, are Microsoft products (MSN, some WMP stuff)... which I'm ok with for two reasons, #1 I think they have the right to do that (provided IE is installed, otherwise it should go to *other* default browser), #2 I don't use them either.
"...who hasn't yet learned to not re-invent the wheel."
Are you serious? re-inventing the wheel is pretty much the basis of our existence.
You can claim otherwise, but you'd better pull up, naked, riding on some wooden rollers, shaving your beard by chewing it off.
BASH et al, certainly has it's place, but considering the article is about BASH 4.0, even the people who originally developed this wheel, thought it wasn't good enough as is.
Why not? They could make it like racing and flying simulators, where you have (usually) 3 stages...
Arcade Semi-Pro Simulation
Or sliders for various things like time-scale (60x, 30x, 10x, double, real), and physics accuracy, etc... if you can run multiple missions at the same time, then you could start off heading for Mars, then switch over to another mission, but have the ability to say run the Mars mission as a screensaver, so you can see how far it has gotten... could also run various experiments the same way, like growing food in 0-G, where pure simulation, and exact phsyics/biology could be really exciting (to some), and for those where it isnt, you skip it, or stuff just finishes instantly.
