These would be a lot more interesting if they included the orginial included. And I'm not saying that cause I want to see porn. For all we know, they could have just taken pictures and claimed they edit out the porn.
Seriously, they could do that with out being porn, that would be cool for any picture.
evem more interesting whould be if they could edit that out in real time. How'd that be for censorware =]
We just launch eGain for this type of application to replace inResponse which is a former product of GTE Government Systems (They've been sold off and that product is no longer supported.)
This type of application if more complex that it seems at first, with syncronization of knowledge bases and track "Tickets" of question response systems.
We use it afer the user has gone through the "Self Help" system and answer the "is it plugged in" questions themselves. Then if email cannot address the problem we make phone contact and eventually send out a technician.
Our system is designed to support upto 50 operators in a normal call center handling incomming request/complains/problems.
Maybe someone can correct me, but I thought Cyrix stopped making x86 chips about a year ago. As memory serves, they sold their x86 division and dedicated to embeded chips for appliances.
The real problem I see with the DMCA is that (evil software co.) can put a clause in their click-through license that says you can't disclose problems with their software, and it's legally binding.
That's a small aspect of the problem with DMCA. I'm more worried about the retroactive license changes that I'm forced to accept. And the fact that those who don't use it (Free Software/Open Source License of Choice) are more liable for their charitable contribution to society bugs than the evil software corp that I paid to provide a product.
DCMA strikes me as an attempt to slowing or stop the opensource movement while increasing Evil Software Corp.'s power/control/whatever.
Am I the only one who think this looks fishy? Something about the whole think makes me wonder if this is really a product ready to hit the market.
Follow me here - Does Samsung really need suppliers?
Why is there no info on the amount of RAM?
It suggests that I can watch my soaps (oh joy) which implies a TV tuner which is not listed in the specs and I cannot believe they intend to deliver real time video in 65000 colors over a cell modem.
also no real information on the processor (strong high performance doesn't say any thing)
Then english translation is poor, which doesn't mean anything itself (mine isn't great either) but with every thing else...
As the story poster noted, the title of the page is wrong, which as an ex-webmaster suggests to me a copied page or misused template, this isn't to say that the product doesn't exist, but a major product like this some exec somewhere would complain. (at least the always caught my minor foo's =])
This looks to me more like a product concept, they may even have a prototype, but I'd be willing to bet they are nowhere near production with this.
I carry a Visor and love it, but if something like this were offered at a reasonable price, I'd be all over it. But I just don't this is will be that device any time soon.
Backing off on a lawsuit that they were bound to loose doesn't make them any less evil in my opinion.
I doubt they'd care, but before they ever want any of my business again, they'll need to make major restitution to the internet community at large.
maybe throwing some of those high dollar laywers at helping the DVD/DeCSS issue or huge donations to FSF, EFF, and other non profit orgs would be a start.
but until they do, I'll still loathe them as an organization and they'll never see a dime of my business. Or the business of anyone who will listen to me rant for about 5 minutes on the subject.
Thanks but that's not quite what I was looking for. the page I remember was specifically transmeta killing wintel with a revolutionary chip, which at introduction could do every thing a wintel box could do (100% capatible) only faster.
I rememeber someone posting a link to a fictional timeline about transmeta revoltionizing computers and destroying microsoft and intel. I really cool, and often comical but I cannot find the link anywhere. Does anyone have it?
I wonder if the real problem is not CyberTerrorists attacking computer infrastructure but using the computers to manage other more conventional attacks. I've commented before that a denial of service is not a real attack - I can't get to a web site, oh well! I guess I'll have to get some real work done.=] Even a power outage isn't a real problem unless you can take the plant off line for several days or cause a meltdown at a nuke plant although I suspect that there are several failsafes you have to over come (remember Homer Simpson mans his post most of his sober hours.)
I think the greater threat in the Information Age is the terrorists using computer systems to manage their attacks, things like coordination of the strikes, development of new weapons and interception of communications of antiterrorist response teams could all make the terrorists more effective using more conventional forms of terrorism.
It's been said in previous posts that its probably a given that terrorist already have crypto, and we all know that off the shelf hardware is extremely powerful in the right hands. So attempting to deny computer power is not the solution. Increased intelligence of terrorists would help, but if they already have the crypto...
I'm not sure the best defense against this type of threat, but I wonder if sharing technology isn't a better approach that denying it. If terrorist are motivated because that don't think their group/race/sect/branch/nation is getting a fair shake in this world, I wonder what would happen if we gave them a fair shake.
Amen brother. this is not warfare, redirection on a web site or email will not influence the outcome of a conflict. real cyberwarfare will involve disruption/faking of communication between command and combat units. The US touched on this in the gulf when the first targets that were attacked where communication systems and effective blinding Iraq's intel sources. but that doesn't even touch on what a real cyber attack could do. Imagine if, instead of blowing up communication centers, you took over communication centers. you could then direct enemy units to engage each other by telling each them that the hostile target are just over that hill - go kill them! by the time the units realized what had happened they i've taken massive casualities, morale will be decimated, and future intel won't be trusted. next, they call for reenforcements. The captured commo center intercepts that request and forwards it on to higher command, except they change the location that the troops and supplies needs to be sent to and the new location just happens to have an enemy battalion waiting for them.
In a real cyberwar you would defeat your enemy my using his computer system against him. trying to deface a website will not effect combat effectiveness or the outcome of a battle.
I'll probably get moderated to hell for being redundant. but we need lots more info to use this with our PHBs.
how much higher?
what kind of benchmarks were used?
what was tested?
exactly how did other machines fair?
If I'm going to argue that our multi-million dollar SAP solution will run better on linux versus solaris7/NT4/DOS3.3 I gotta be able prove my point before it will even be considered.
bottom line : this is the information age, and I want more!!

As I recall, a citizen living and working abroad still has to file for income tax in america. I don't remember all the details from my business law class, but there are some games that are played... like you were a resident here for one month so you have to pay all the taxes - vs - you didn't live here so you get a discount, but you're still paying.
anything the government can get you for they will, especially when its something like this that doesn't effect john q. public and the handful that are effect just cant scream loud enough...
The author of this article suggests that Lucas was somehow successful in stemming the flow of the bootleg TPM. The only movie easier to get than TPM is The Matrix. This article is just spreading censorship propaganda, saying specifically that public information should be controlled in the name of privacy.
While I'm all for privacy, public information should be readily available and the Internet is the perfect medium. Phone numbers, addresses, criminal records, and anything else that is considered a matter of public record should not be censored.
Texas has an excellent website at www.publicdata.com that contains all sorts of useful stuff - all public record.
Yes, that is exactly what I was implying. While I realize that many (probably most) American corps are good companies, there are a lot that are sue happy or pratice poor ethics and I'd rather not do business with them. Remember Colgate-Palmolive, Microsoft, Compaq? to name a few.
It's not the features that bloat the ware

All Hail Bloatware

I hate bloatware, but, at least with M$ the problem is not the features, the problem is usually easter eggs. Why does Excel need a 3D flight simulator? why does word need a pinball game? why does outlook need a picture of the developement team. These are not features and I doubt they were on "consumer wish lists" if they are features they should be advertised as such. but they won't be because its just wasted code.

Stem Cells don't come from adults, they are "Adult Stem Cells" i.e. stem cells that are fully developed.
saying which... when Bell and GTE were merging and before they picked a name, I thought the choice should have been Bell OR GTE.
These would be a lot more interesting if they included the orginial included. And I'm not saying that cause I want to see porn. For all we know, they could have just taken pictures and claimed they edit out the porn.

I only done shareware so far. I guess I'll need to check into that before I spend the 20 bucks to check out the real thing.
I'm sure interest in that level editor - it'll suck if my visor can't do that.
I test software for Visor Insider. I loaded dreadling up this morning on my Visor Deluxe and haven't had any trouble.
admittedly I've only played for a few minutes, but it works.
Maybe someone can correct me, but I thought Cyrix stopped making x86 chips about a year ago. As memory serves, they sold their x86 division and dedicated to embeded chips for appliances.

Christ was the first Icon for CHRISTmas, which is the the day we celebrate his birth (reguardless of the actual day of the event)
A few years after the initial event the people he came here for (israel) turned on him and had him killed.
now we have an addition icon for christmas, santa claus. and now the people he's was created for (childern) are turning on him....
