Hard Core... as in Blood & Gore... not petting kittens and riding ponies, the Wii is generally (if not always?) targeted at whole-family orientated stuff, killing Nazi/Gargoyles/Aliens doesn't really fit in.
Big difference between "hard-core genre, and hard-core gamer
Provided you only do it once (or a couple times), or never use the same network twice for the same activity.
1. Use anonymous network for "illegal" activities 2. Get spotted in XYZ location on ZYX network 3. "They" show up, find nothing suspicious by then 4. They sit there and watch the network 5. You show up again, they see your (same) network activity, do a triangulation or whatever 6. ??? 7. Loss of profit.
But... there is also new servers, storage, replacing broken parts, web design/maintenance, and paying the people, and paying for the stuff they use who take car of all of that, the power bill, legal battles, etc...
I don't, nor am I an expert, but wouldn't it work if you had a fixed receiver, and another one that rotates around it, then compare when, and what signals are received between the two? If they both receive the same signal at the same time, then you take the 90 degree angle from the line the two points make, and you have a direction.
Would be largely be dependant on Hz, the lower the Hz the larger the orbit would have to be to increase accuracy, etc. And if the orbit was large enough, you should be able to measure the difference in signal strength between the two (when they are parallel to signal direction), and roughly estimate how far away it might be, especially if you impose a material that has X amount of absorption between the two antenna.
Biangulation(?) can work really well provided the computer has been adequately trained.
Your eyes for instance. You can judge how far away, and how much left or right, provided that you have previously witnessed the same, or similar object at that distance. Sonar, Radar and Lidar basically have only one eye.
No, XP, Vista, Win7 all have the limit, but I'm not so sure about Server versions.
They don't consider it a "flaw", as they boast it as malware limiting, and under most situations, it's irrelevant because 10 new connections a second is about 5 times more than most applications need. Excluding P2P, and a few Games.
I went Outdoor Life Network today, to do a little National Geographic Channeling, and stumbled across an Animal Channel, what a Discovery Channel, I was so Xtreme Sports Network about it, I blew my HBO, and had to buy another one from the Shopping Channel.
They likely would, or at least consider it. But that is entirely up to the company they try and buy out. If the company is that against Microsoft, why would they sell to them? What about the people who don't give a damn about profit, and just do it out of interest.
How would they go about purchasing Debian? there isn't really a company to buy, or a solidified piece of software/source for that matter to lock up. They could maybe buy out each individual maintainer, but it's already out there, in many mutated forms, it would be a huge nightmare for them to try and rope all of it in, they'd probably go bankrupt in the meantime.
The only way to keep bloated software out is to race to the bottom, the only way to keep Microsoft out is to provide an alternative that surpasses it in desirability.
If we all used $100 machines, that were 500mhz, and 10GB's of HD space etc, Microsoft will just create trimmed down versions to run on it, thus not getting rid of Microsoft.
But if you have something that personal and corporate users prefer over Microsoft's products, then it doesn't matter how low or highly spec'd the machine is, they'll want that software.
Or a limited amount of free/public ones, like 5, that all share the same allotment of 2mb/368kb or something, seems ridiculous to me why anyone would "sign up" for this, when any router can toss out free IP's if you let it, I dont see what good an account will do unless it's only for accountability which can't really exists unless you catch them in the act, or the router can keep a huge log file, then try and prove it wasn't you...
Why not create a router that has a sort of temporary/really limited connection, that allows anyone to post comments to the router or something: "hey can I use this connection?" then the host gets it, %Comment% [Allow][Disallow] from there, any regular/trusted/liked user can be granted their own account on the router. Automated messages/[non]access when your away/asleep/etc...
It directly reflects how the government works, what else would you expect?
A decade behind the population, complicated as hell, and you are worse off for interacting with it. If anyone asks you: "how does the government work?" simply point them to that site.
F1 is top dog, so I don't think a monetary limitation should really take place. It's where most of the major experiments take place, so shouldn't really be limited on price because developing new materials is expensive, especially if it's rare/new, so they might be able to build most of the car for $60,000, but the new allow/polymers/etc that make up the frame alone might be another $60,000 by itself... instead of "well what can we do with $20,000? - hmm, carbon fiber and aluminum?" They need to build new machines that build the new machines, get/make the new materials which are basically one of a kind, etc, a set of tires is about $5,000 because they are so customized down to the molecular level.
F1 spends the money + time, which trickles down to GP2, A1... those trickle down into GT, Rally, StockCar, which have more "real world" limitations, those trickle down to 'supercars', and then down to normal passenger cars.
So I think limiting displacement, fuel type, etc is a better way to go so they can sort of invest/start it, but everyone else gets the benefits of the product (eventually). Theoretically your idea is what happens already, Mercedes, Honda, BMW, Toyota, Renault, etc all have road vehicles, so basically they are spending the huge amounts on F1 and GT, to create their road cars.
Side note, I'd like to see an official electric/alternative F1 start, instead of these little parade events once a year.
Indeed, but they had a safety net, a "shield" around them as they did.
Any reasonably intelligent person at the time wouldn't have believed it, but some did. Similar to the Mach barrier, where even some (rather poor) scientists thought that an object traveling at/above Mach would disintegrate at the atomic (particle/fractional) level.
Which is interesting in it's progression, less doubt as the speed increases, but even now, most (all?) people think nothing can travel faster than light, someday even that may seem like absurd skepticism.
In 1848, a steam train broke 60mph. But yeah, common trains were doing about 40-50mph in 1909 on a good stretch.
I know, I was simply contesting the "goes against moore's law" part.
Coincidentally, that's when the greatest blasphemy to Moore's Law -- and the biggest threat to Intel's dominance -- is expected to make its entrance into the PC market.
When it isn't, it's similar to automotive racing, this seasons F1 has all sorts of new limitations on engine size, RPM, and materials to promote more power/speed out of smaller, doesn't mean they will stay constant at 750hp @ 12,000RPM, by the next couple of years they will likely be back up to 1000hp, just on a smaller platform.
In 10 years time, there will likely be some even more efficient processor out there (likely already exists) It's all effectively a part of Moore's law, the current base has certain limitations limiting it's linear climb, so a new twice as good base is developed to continue that climb.
Yeah, but even your average phone is more powerful than your average PC was in 1982...
So "in the meantime" they will somewhat stick with the low+low, what happens when laptops, phones, GPS, etc all become the same device? People are content with the low power they have now, and with stuff like anti-jailbreaking etc, puts a limit on the push for better/faster/stronger because not many see it yet. People thought your body would fall apart at 50mph 100 years ago... "640kb ought to be enough for anybody"...
PSP (not the most relevant example) might be 300 MHz now, what about PSPII, still 300MHz? Doubtful.
But it will do exactly the same thing, 0.5 Watts now, 100K transistors now, 300 MHz now... it wont stay that way though, it's just a slimmer base to build upon, like using aluminum instead of steal. People will still keep reaching for the sky, and with a lighter structure, means they can reach even higher, even more MHz, more transistors, etc...
Couldn't find a sex device, but Eco Drive could work. Not quite the same, but better than nothing kinda thing.
Not sure why there aren't more (any?) MP3 players that use it, think there used to be some jogging radios that used kinetic energy to power, or help power them though. Phones, would probably last much longer as well. Kinetic from walking/etc, temperature from holding it, solar from having it on the desk/dash/etc...
Slashdot has days where there are only about 70-100 comments on articles, does that mean people are against reading, or people don't like websites that start with 'S'?
Let me know at the end of April, if the amount is significantly lower than March.
I know quite a few people that were scared about Conficker that stayed offline too.

Mankind is the reflective stuff on road signs? Is that why they are red, or what they mean by sacrificing one, to save a thousand?
