I dont know but I have never been a fan of Norton
It's bulky and uses way too many recourses for a program that runs in the background. I also dont know how they managed to get that patent. I have been using Fprot http://datafellows.com/ for close to four years and had much more success. ever since the begining they used virus signitures which could be updated just by replacing a data file. I remember way back when my first little Packerd Bell got a cold,and killed my homework. Norton didn't find it, McAfee found it but coudlnt' remove it. FPRot (fit one one disk at the time) Found it and four other viruses. Ive been hooked ever since.
I dont know about everyone else but I see this being a very cool pet project. collaboration of CS and amatuer rocketry. I am also very curious to knwo what sort of fail safe systems were in place back then compared to now.
it's not that technology is an enemy, it's a matter of how it is being used, and with what priorities it is being implimented. and why speak just about america, it's great what i'm eating three square meals why give a hoot about any where else. never mind the fact that all that food and clothes and amanities that you so enjoy are being made in sweat shops in china, or by workers making a fraction of what american counter parts make.
thanks for the grammer tid bit, I hear your point but nothing is black and white third world economies dont have the same bargaining power as countries such as the US for example. when your net income of foriegn exchange is limitied you basically take what is given to you. trust me jamaican polititians disgust me.
this really hurts transmeta, it's probable time they start expaditing the code morphing feature and not the power consumption. I would love to have a system capable of running multiple codes based on different architecture, but to be realistic whats the point. will we ever escape the evil clutches of intel ?
well Sudbury is one mine, most minig companies are worldwide having mines whereever ore is located. obvioulsy whenever technology is tested and proven in one area it is adapted to otheres. ok and about it not killing jobs. here is a factual account. I simple transport belt line was built to transport ore to the factory from a remote point instead of driving it vie dump truck that one convayer ( about 8 miles long) this negated the need for many drivers who lost there jobs. and ohh yea ll the jobs that this conveyer provided.... cleaning mud from the machinerey. obviously if implimenting a new system envolved having to higher an excess of workers it wouldn't be viable.
Here here to the technologists, I do want to add another perspective to this article. I grew up around mines all my life, in Jamaica there are very large alumina mines that spend all there time and efforts tearing up the soil to mine alumina ore which is just below the surface of top soil. here is the problem after mining this wonderful ore the top soil is then replaced and grass is planted back.. where once stood 100 year old trees and rain forest (not really but sort of) these plants hired local drivers and operators to move this dirt around and manage the plants. the mining process alone involves incubating ore with sodium hydroxide which is then then poored of into huge mud lakes, just mare miles from public schools. with no attemped what so ever to clean this up. so forgive me for not supporting or getting all google eyed over automated minds since for me it is just another way for these huge company to tear up more third world countries, not to mention relinquish any jobs that would have been available for the local people. plants spend so much time and money investing in new mining techniques but little and none is spent reclaiming the land, lives, and communities that they distroy. !!!!

perhaps not new but I do think there are some genre that are coming to the forfront. online ongoing games.
