We're flipping through the manual, assuming that it is an NT machine when I notice they talk about SMB shares, so I'm assuming SAMBA
SMB (Session Management Block) is the Microsoft protocol for file and print sharing. Samba is just an implementation of that protocol for Unix machines. Just because you see 'SMB', it doesn't necessarily mean Samba - it could just as well be a Win3.11 box.
They lie that way because you are too blind to see the truth. Christians have an obligation to set right the wrongs of the world, and if this leads to violence, it is only because others are too blind or too evil-hearted to accept God's truth.
All of your beliefs seem to based entirely on what other people have taught you, and what you have read, and not at all based upon your own observations of the world we live in.
You're a very good troll if that's what you are, but alas, I fear the worst.
The technical intro does not mention how fast the devices will be.
I bet they'll be a few orders of magnitude slower than conventional electron-based storage since the bits are stored by using atomic phase changes, which are much slower than the speed that electrons can zip around.
As far as "I own the material." not being a valid argument well I'm sorry but it is. I for one don't see anything wrong with ripping MP3's for my own personal use as a method of backup for my investment in a CD. It's only when I distribute them that it becomes a problem
OK, so when you rip an MP3 that you already own, where do you think it's coming from? That's right, from someone else who is distributing it, and in your own words, this is a problem.
This guy has a point. If there is more dark matter out there than we expect, it will create a drag on the sail and cause a small negative acceleration.
You simply fire up Napster and search for 'Metallica'. Now you have a nice list of all the users who are very probably making Metallica's copyrighted material publicly available. It's not the people downloading the songs that they are catching, it's the people sharing them.
The transmission, routing, provision of connections, or copying must be carried out by an automatic technical process without selection of material by the service provider.
With Napster, this IS the case - The user searches and manually selects what material they want to download.
I think you're wrong, the Napster servers do the searching, and the user just selects from the search results.
So Microsoft are not granting you the right to implement. Maybe you had this right all along. Microsoft's wording here does not say they are removing any of your rights, it just says they are not giving you additional rights.
It's quite easy to enforce. Suppose all 300,000 odd accounts are closed, and they all sign up again under new accounts. Well, it only took a weekend to find them the first time, so they can be found again. If Napster has to close 300,000 accounts each week, every week, they (and the lusers) will soon get very fed up.
And this is just one band. When others follow suit... Napster deserves it.
80 dollars? Redhat 6.2 costs $3.50 from cheapbytes, and thats for two cds.

To generate anything approximating a square wave at 400MHz would involve harmonic frequencies of many GHz. The rambus clock will look something like a sinewave on the PCB tracks. Maybe it'll be a bit squarer once it gets onto the die though.

Your right about the latency of RDRAMS being higher, but the raw throughput of 133MHz DDR SDRAM is faster than the fastest (800MHz) RDRAMs.
133MHz DDR = 266MHz x 64bits = 2.128 Gbytes/sec 800MHz RDRAM = 800MHz x 16 bits = 1.6 Gbytes/sec
The big difference is that guns are designed for wounding/killing. It is their purpose. The same can't be said for cars. You may argue that guns can be used for recreational use (which is true), but they sure as hell weren't invented for that purpose.

You may reproduce and distribute, in executable form only, programs which you create using the Software
Exactly, the source code is not created using the software, (it is created by you), so Borland are not preventing you distributing it.
Jeff
Yes, but the first line reads:
GENERAL TERMS THAT APPLY TO COMPILED PROGRAMS AND REDISTRIBUTABLES
Surely this means that anything that follows does not apply to source code?
Jeff
Why not just re-write the dialectizer as a Java applet, so that the translation is done on the users machine? Surely this would constitute fair use?

OK, offtopic, but the 20th century began in 1901. The 21st century begins in 2001.

It's the people offering Metallica tracks for download that are the main problem, not the downloaders. They are also much easier to find.
Jeff
The 'secret recipe' is very simple:
You simply fire up Napster and search for 'Metallica'. Now you have a nice list of all the users who are very probably making Metallica's copyrighted material publicly available. It's not the people downloading the songs that they are catching, it's the people sharing them.

3. The user selects the recipient
No. The user selects a recipient from a list of recipients selected by the Napster server.

That won't matter - TCP/IP is designed to cope with packets that go missing. I am assuming they will send TCP/IP over this thing.

Actually, it might be cheaper to buy linux (eg. from cheapbytes) than to download the thing over a modem, buy a CDR, and burn it yourself.
Jeff
This is a redundant story. In this slashdot article the same magnetic memory technology is dicussed.

I can't really see how Napster can win, even though they claim that they cannot be held responsible for their user's actions.
It's a bit like taking a ride in someone's car when the driver is drunk. You are aiding and abetting an offence, which is an offence in itself.
IANAL of course!
Jeff
Hey, they might look cool, but do people really use them for their own benefit, or for impressing friends?
It's the PC equivalent of taking a rusty Ford Escort van (1.1 litre), painting it vomit yellow, adding big wheelz and turning it into a rice burner.
