Yes. ZiLOG makes the eZ80 Internet server appliance platform based on a 50 MHz pipelined Z80 processor, which is 25 times faster than the non-pipelined 8 MHz Z80-clone processor in the Game Boy Color system.
Apple has required minimum versions of system software to boot a Macintosh computer since at least 7.0.1, when the Classic II, LC II, and Quadra series couldn't boot anything before 7.0.1. It lets Apple gradually get rid of legacy hardware in a computer, something the PC side can't seem to do for some reason.
I live in Louisiana. My bank is in Texas. When I sell things on eBay, often times when a person mails me their check and I mail the check to my bank, it takes less time to get my money than it would have taken through PayPal.
What if the only person offering the product you seek allows payment only through PayPal? Do you expect every individual to have a Visa/MC merchant account and accept credit cards?
nor is he talking about the sticker to cover the heatsink compound. He said "the sticky protection of the top of the silicon"
Perhaps by "silicon", he was trying to refer to the "silicone" of the heatsink compound, not knowing the difference between silicon implants (processors inserted into a body) and silicone implants (fake tits inserted into a body).
You are mistaken. The GPL does not require [those who modify the software to distribute their changes].
Look at it in context. Omnifarious specified: "then sold back to me." If you distribute GPL binaries compiled from source code you got from somebody else and subsequently modified, you have to distribute either source code or an offer to give anybody the source code at cost.
Hook your computer up to your digital cable system, and have it do the QAM demodulation. Then, pump the results to an MPEG transport demux and MPEG decoder. Boom. Instant digital cable box.
Boom. Instant jail time. Digital cable systems are scrambled with 3DES or Rijndael or RC4 or some other cipher. This is what the DMCA was actually intended for: to prevent piracy of cable and satellite television service.
so all copy protection schemes become hackable
By people who don't mind being sexually assaulted in the anus. Homosexual rape is one of the biggest problem in American prisons (and I'd imagine, prisons worldwide).
and, having said that, this is not a new concept - winmodems have been doing this for a while now
That was my first thought: "What the heck? A winmodem for 802.11? And it's actually endorsed by the FSF?"
What APIs are you talking about?... nowhere have I seen an NDA or request for corporate ID
How about these? You need at least a partnership or corporation to get a D&B DUNS number, and you need a D&B DUNS number to get the protocol documentation.
The latest release of Compuserve uses Gecko. The latest AOL client for Mac OS uses Gecko. Beta versions of AOL 8 for Windows use Gecko. AOL was waiting for its Netscape division to finish Mozilla 1.0 before switching away from Microsoft browser technology.
double-clicking an html file would bring up IE unless you also removed the IE files themselves (not just the shortcuts).
On my WinME and Win2k boxes, double-clicking a.html file brings up whatever Mozilla build is installed at the moment (currently 1.1). It did so even before the relevant Windows 2000 service pack was released.
You'd have to go into the registry and edit/remove the file type associations.
Or have your competing program's installer do it for you. This is the approach AOL has chosen with its "Netscape" web browser and "Winamp" media player.
Now that Tremor has been released under the BSD license, try petitioning your manufacturer to release a firmware upgrade that adds Ogg support. That is, unless your car player has a cheap dedicated decoder chip that takes an MPEG audio bitstream on one pin and puts a WAV bitstream on another.
Try 128 kbps joint stereo. Try harsh swooshing and ringing in the high frequencies. Try a flattening of the stereo field.
Try 32 kbps mono (standard for streaming over dial-up). Try the whole thing sounding underwater.
Now try Ogg at each of those bitrates. (Use OggDropXPd to find the quality levels that roughly correspond to the popular MP3 bitrates.) None of the artifacts I mentioned are present. Ogg Vorbis is designed to create complex and subtle "differences" in the signal rather than easy-to-pick-out "artifacts".
I wonder how it works for Chinese since it's traditionally written from the bottom of the page, starting on the right hand side. Do they do even have this functionality on computers?
Yes. That's how Japanese newspapers are typeset. However, most text entry is done left-to-right, top-to-bottom like Latin, and then the top-to-bottom, right-to-left formatting is applied from some stylesheet. Most heavily internationalized DTP programs support it. CSS2 doesn't support it, but CSS3 will.
The only common language that's written in columns from top to bottom but does not have a common row-based variant is Mongolian.
I have no idea how long it takes to code a game, but if it takes three months, as you say, then $11,000 is pretty damn good. That would be $44,000 a year.
In terms of monthly income, yes, but in terms of annual income, no. "Limit one entry per team" per competition. Besides, many will enter; few will win.
For example, AOL for x86 requires Windows

Covad On The Mend
·
· Score: 2
This is a story about COVAD the internet access provider, not Microsoft Windows.
That is unless, in the future, Covad decides to require proprietary software to connect to its network (think AOL) and refuses to make that software either 1. Linux/BSD native or 2. Wine compatible.
Such a situation is not very far-fetched. From the blurb: "They've also struck a deal with AOL to provide high-speed connectivity to AOL customers." If the deal includes gradually moving customers from Covad to AOL service, and AOL doesn't release a Linux client, Covad customers who use Linux may become screwed.
I wonder where they keep 246 million dollars in cash. If anyone has the address, please englighten.
If you're planning on robbing the bank where Covad keeps the cash in a checking account, don't. Bank robbery is a felony in all fifty U.S. states and in most other jurisdictions worldwide. Besides, the bank has probably already loaned out the deposit to other borrowers anyway.
The estimate that I have heard thrown around is 10^120 [possible chess positions].
For comparison, there are about 10^80 to 10^85 atoms in the universe. (A googol is 10^100.) So we'll never be able to solve chess until somebody discovers some sort of magnificent reduction.
if you try to hijack a concert, you'll just be singing your song with N'Sync music blaring in the background and your band playing instruments that aren't even plugged in. And nobody wants that.
Not even "Weird Al" Yankovic, Bob Rivers, and the rest of the parody artists?
[Sharing of live recordings] ALSO worked for Metallica until they forgot their "past" and became the RIAA's bitches.
Live Metallica was never RIAA's dog. Metallica has a history of granting royalty-free licenses to all comers for non-commercial copying and distribution of the sound of live Metallica shows. The studio recordings, on the other hand...

Are [ZiLOG] still around?
Yes. ZiLOG makes the eZ80 Internet server appliance platform based on a 50 MHz pipelined Z80 processor, which is 25 times faster than the non-pipelined 8 MHz Z80-clone processor in the Game Boy Color system.
Can they really do this?

Then use Western Union's Bidpay service, as another poster in this sid pointed out. Bidpay will mail you a money order.

AOL browser still uses IE for it's underpinnings.
The latest release of Compuserve uses Gecko. The latest AOL client for Mac OS uses Gecko. Beta versions of AOL 8 for Windows use Gecko. AOL was waiting for its Netscape division to finish Mozilla 1.0 before switching away from Microsoft browser technology.
There was a release of documentation for a few APIs a couple weeks ago
What percent of AOL users use something other than an MS operating system?
I don't know, but there are plenty of devices that run AOL clients without running Windows: AOL Mobile Communicator, AOLTV, Instant AOL for Internet terminals, AOL for PDAs, AOL by land phone and by mobile phone, etc. How many of those are used by Mac users rather than Windows users is anybody's guess (unless you work in AOL marketing).

What about my car audio that only plays MP3s?
Now that Tremor has been released under the BSD license, try petitioning your manufacturer to release a firmware upgrade that adds Ogg support. That is, unless your car player has a cheap dedicated decoder chip that takes an MPEG audio bitstream on one pin and puts a WAV bitstream on another.
What do MP3 artifacts sound like?
Try 128 kbps joint stereo. Try harsh swooshing and ringing in the high frequencies. Try a flattening of the stereo field.
Try 32 kbps mono (standard for streaming over dial-up). Try the whole thing sounding underwater.
