With a firmware update created by homebrewers that replaces the DS's ability to run GBA games with a new ability to run DS-mode code from the GBA slot.
Not really. What the FlashMe modification does is: implement a check whether a DS-binary is present on a cart in the GBA slot. If so, it points arm7 code execution to the binary; if not, it loads up the ordinary firmware with unaltered functionality (this includes playing GBA-games). Kinda nifty!
This isn't new tech there either. I stayed for a year in Japan in 2002, and at that time was the then one and a half year old car we rode fitted with gps-nav with a map with highligting of jammed roads and such.
You could with this system set it to calculate the route from A to B differently depending on how small roads you were willing to drive, how much in road-tolls you wished to stay under, or if you say wanted the quickest or the by petrol cheapest road. All of these kept traffic-jams in mind...
We've had these installed for at least 5 years all over Sweden.
It's kinda neat driving in the middle of the night getting the reds to switch to green over and over again as one approach them and noone is waiting on the sides.
This isn't a sollution to them not being available. This is to make it possible to play them natively (ie. no emulation). The Snes-maniacs (me included) drool at this sort of stuff in the same way as audiophiles do at Tube-amps. It makes it sound more genuine and alive... Could turn any gamer into a nostalgic hearing those tunes as they sounded on the console.
Especially for making links on flyers easy to follow with your i-mode or ez-web (two largest mobile online services in Japan) enabled phone.
You just smack a barcode on the bottom of your ad-flyer (for the latest PS2-game, or whatever) and have people shooting them with their phone-camera and instantly get redirected to the product homepage. Kinda neat and really handy as entering URLs on a phone is a real pain in the ass.
These barcodes also confirm to some sort of standard (dunno the name), so it's easy for whoever to print out their own barcodes recognizable by the phones.
It means mobile and is used as a slang (or rather abbrevation) for mobile phone (which is keitai-denwa). So keitai watch is a news site about phones, not wireless stuff in general.
For example as it says in the Main results part of the abstract on the first page of the article: [...}In stratified analysis, heavy computer users with refractive errors showed a significant positive association with FDT-VFA [...], while those without refractive errors did not.[...] (Emphasis added for clarity)
I.e. other factors than mainly computer usage appears to have significance...
If by Windows you mean the Fat32 filesystem you have a filesize limit of 4GBytes, but if you use NTFS (Standard if partitioned from Win2k/XP) you don't have an upper limit.
...if it detects a video camera in the theaters is stop the film, turn the lights on, and make an announcement that there is a person in the theater who is illegally recording the movie and this is the cause for the delay.
This would just be really stupid and stop a lot of people from coming to the theaters. I mean, I would never pay a nickel to go se a movie in a theater which has a policy of stopping the movie, thus ruining the experience (IMHO is the only reason it's worth bout $14 to see a movie here in Sweden the big screen and superior sound system compared to home) which I've actually paid hard bucks for, just because some stupid detection system makes a false positive. And even if it actually is someone filming would it still ruin my $14 investment.
As it says in their PR that all entries are verified by a real person can't the detection algorithm be that foolproof. Also as it seems as if it detects the lenses in some way, why wouldn't a pair of glasses, a missdirectioned wristwatch or whatever trigger it?
Over here in Sweden, we have all the unies connected through an own network with a good connection to the other ISPs of Sweden.
So with a good DC++ hub (read ancient][spirit (only 10Mbit+ users with proven 600KB/s upload speeds allowed entry)), even me with community fiber, get a speed at around 800KB - 1MB/s most of the time.
You also won't have snooping up your arse as of yet.
I've lived in Japan for quite a while and spent some time with Japanese hardcore gamers. I just have to be a detail-nazi... =)
1. It won't work with existing mod chips.
Japanese people in general don't mod their ps2s. They don't need to: new and used games are cheap enough, and the fact that most people get a "refund" on their games when selling them after completion to some used games dealer (and there are looooads of those all over Japan) makes it even "cheaper".
Also, Japanese people are in general much more reluctant to illegal activities. (I don't claim mod chips illegal, but most uses of them are...) All Jap friends I have would think twice and even trice before modding their ps2s.
2. It won't work with the hard drive for Final Fantasy.
This is probably true, but those already playing FFXI do at least own another PS2 already, so they will rather not buy it of that reason.
So I guess the main reason for poor sales is that most people over there already have a ps2 (Every household owns a ps2 - and I mean every.), and those who don't will rather buy an old one since those are really cheap atm. And it's of course always hard to beat a hyped up product as the DS.
I saw the commercials for it in Japan last month - it looks soooo sweet...
Sony released their LIBRIÉ earlier this year utilizing e-ink with a scren resolution of 170 dpi.
It's not 600dpi, but according to users does it look as crisp as paper.
The new screen-tech does apparently also save on batteries since it only needs power to refresh.
To bad it only supports Sony's DRMed books so far. Can't wait until one of these baibies (or the DRM-format) gets hacked.
With most banks in Sweden you get a little calculator look-alike with which you RSA-encrypt two fourdigit strings recieved from the site and use the ciphertext as password.
Nowhere can the user access the encryption-key.
The thingie itself is protected by a userset pin-number and locks it self up if invalid pass is entered three times. After this you have to exchange it with the bank for a new one, with a different key.
The good thing with this is that no keys are reusable, so it's in practice impossible to misuse a sniffed password since a new one is generated for each signing of a transaction.
It's also impossible to sniff the pin for the thingie unless you have some sneeky CCTV in the building or someone watching over your shoulder.
The only drawback is that it uses RSA - i know it should be better to promote the use of DSA.
Time to move openbsd.org to OpenBSD then ...

SMP Now In OpenBSD HEAD

since the reason to why they use Solaris for it is that they need SMP.
Looks a bit bad with an OS-maker not using it's own OS for it's website.
Even thought that in theory, the encrypted messages (or whatever is sent) can't be read, you still have the problems before and after encryption.
Especially these days with worms and trojans affecting even the most _secure_ environments (*bad memories about some american nuclear power plant*). You can expect someone somewhere to get some spyware or keylogging-thingie onto a sender or reviever's system. (or sometimes even enough with just getting it onto the network on each end in question.)
I recall visiting a webshop somewhere who sold a small (read less than half an inch) plug, which you put in between the keyboard and the comp, which could log several megs of typed in text. Later it's just to harvest...
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but if you can't trust your coworkers 130% in these cases, you're still toast unless you put the machine (and yourself) in a vault and throw away the key./joda

not oragami.
ori means to fold, and gami is the sounded variant of kami which means paper.
oragami could be some surname or something, but heck, i dunno.
