They are. In fact, Sony is using the Crusoe chip only in its long (battery) life computers. In a new twist they are also using AMD chips and not going exclusively with Intel.
Can I use the service on more than
one computer?
Yes, customers with home networks may order additional network addresses in order
to connect several computers to the service through one cable modem.
You must first subscribe to the basic Comcast @Home service.
Once you become a subscriber, you can sign up for the second and third addresses
through the @Home member services section.
You will need to have access to network expertise because Comcast @Home
neither installs nor supports networks.
The cost is $6.95 per month for each additional outlet. Customer can have
two additional addresses, for a total of three.
Comcast @Home will install the network card and software on the second and
third computer for a charge of $49 for each computer.
How often do you see Playboy or Penthouse in a library? How often to you see Hate speech in a library. Without the censorship, this is essentially what is happening as an unfortunate side effect.
I have no trouble with filtering. But I also have an optimistic view of the filter that it set set up correctly nd blocks the appropriate sites. For the most part, it does but there are sites that get blocked which should not. If every library and school had to install filtering software, that should be a lot of leverage on the filter maker to do it right. If they don't, then use a different filter (ah, capitalism at its finest).
This is a public service paid by taxpayer money, I am not one for subsidizing hate speech and porn at my dollar.
Products commonly get renamed when they enter different markets. Some well known products in the US have vastly different names because translating the product name into the native dialect creates an insulting or embarassing name. I wish I could think of some offhand.
In any case, get over it and have a different name under for SAMBA in Germany. If the other company has been around first and flaunting their name first, then they have the rights.
Imagine a Japanese company having a computer product called Windows before MS. MS would have had to sell their product in Japan under a different name. (Would have been pretty funny too)
The trend of the future will be Internet applicances running on web browsers. For example, walking anywhere on a corporate(or college) campus to a kiosk that just has a web browser running, logging in and there is all the info you need. There will be lots of these and they will be running linux or something cheap because of volume. Windows will not fit into that category. Developers will have to cater to the kiosk.
The other big area is having a web browser built into the tv, not buying an extra part(like web TVtoday). Turning on the TV will place you on the Internet so you may seemlessly flip between the Internet Browser and TV station. (And you thought channel surfing was bad now). Those web browsing tv's will not have MS software on it because they are expensive and proprietary. Linux has a much better chance with this market, but don't be surprised if another custom OS makes its way into the tv instead.
In a nutshell, MS may dominate the home/corporate computer market, but that market will be small compared to what is really available (tv, cell phone, kiosks,...) and their dominance may be short sighted and short lived.
Every manufacturer has been manufacturing this type of RAM for a while. It wasn't until RDRAM looked liked a crappy competitor when RAMBUS released the lawyers. So since RAMBUS wasn't enforcing their patent at all, is there a case? (Or am I confusing this with trademarks)
But the support technicians could not provide a scenario where their product will work under Linux. If support cannot provide a scenario where they can prove Linux works, then release the lawyers (or at least your state attorney general)
What is the problem with the wiretap? If you find them tapping and recording you for no reason, you can sue because of the right of privacy. If you are doing something illegal, then who cares if they are tapping the wire, you're doing something illegal.
Not really. Servers are meant to be stable and fast, with stable being more important than fast. In servers, the bottleneck is generally not the processor but the IO subsystem. So small incremental increases in processor speed don't add much except for boat loads of testing to ensure the hardware is stable.
Compare that to the desktop/workstation market where there still exists a number of processor bound applications. Any increase in processor speed is greatly appreciated in these applications.
Skimmed the intro, Skimmed the reference. It doesn't really offer anything significant compared to Java, with one exception, versioning. You can have the same class declared twice in the same area but differentiated by version, thus allowing upgrades to be "easier" without breaking old code (because its still there). In concept it seems neat, but I see that being more of a headache than its worth.

If you can talk to the right people. I bet it can be done cheaper than wasting your time doing that. (Unless that is your job, than I am sorry for you)
Now is the time to plan to bring one of those asteroids into a earth orbit. If we (not me personally, but the human race) really want to get off this planet, using near earth asteroids for resources will be a key. Mining the resources from satellites will also bring about tons of new experience in space travel. For more info, read Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
Of course conversely, altering the path and being a little off does have some nasty side effects. (Eliminating civilization instead of preserving it)
Actually, if the company does business(meaning physical presence, such as a warehouse, etc) in the same state as the ship to(? or is it billing) location, then sales tax should be applied. That is, if the state has a sales tax (go delaware!) Who cares if the internet was the vehicle to make the transcation. A sales is a sale.
When you copy one cassette to another cassette you get a loss of quality on each copy of the copy. When you encode to MP3, you get the loss of quality only once. Copying an MP3 to a destination gets you no loss in quality. To get music for free(pirated), most people can live with a slight loss in musical quality.

This may still be premature, but I think the question to ask is:
How make unknown artists have made it "big" (or somewhat successful) because of Napster? (Or similar exchange)

IANAL, but I think this is how things work now...
If you sample music, you must work a deal with the original artist (or their lawyer). Ask Vanilla Ice when Queen went after him. Or the many artists who sampled without permission at one time.
If I make a remix of a song. Then you buy a copy of my song, I am responsible to pay the original artist, depending on the deal made.
However music is delivered, the distributor must have some process in place to ensure they distribute stuff they are allowed, and that the appropriate party is paid.
I have heard on the news this morning that the DOJ is investing the major record labels for price fixing or cd's. I cannot find a link though. Any else have luck?
