Running a phone switch might classify them as a CLEC, which would require them to fill out a zillion forms and be subject to regulation. Complying with that regulation is apparently pretty expensive. This was mentioned in a recent/. interview with somebody who's running a DSL co-op.
Right now, a DVD mastering station is about as expensive as CD-R recorders were 5 years ago. That is, they cost ten's of thousands of dollars for the hardware and software.
The proposed BPDG regulations (which the FCC is considering adopting) say that you can build an HD PVR as long as it uses a CPRM hard disk and there's no way to get digital video out of the PVR in the clear.
Making Blu-Ray players might be a problem if nobody makes any Blu-Ray-ROM drives. Have you ever opened up a cheap DVD player? The cheap ones have IDE drives inside.
The movie studios probably consider that a mistake that they don't intend to make again. Looks like Sony is doing something similar with SACD.
DVD-R seems like a useful upgrade to CD-R. But copying those 27GB Blu-Ray discs might be a problem if The Man never makes any Blu-Ray-ROM or Blu-Ray-R drives.
Does IPSec even have clients and servers? I thought it was P2P, but then I don't claim to know anything about it.
Anyway, Apple really could do some work on LEAP authentication. A password in the style of is not quite user-friendly (plus if you mess up on the username, it's a pain to fix it.)
Have you used LEAP with AirPort? I can't even get my AirPort card to see a LEAP-enabled Cisco base station.
One person designed most of the icons, and some of the fonts, for the Mac, Windows, and OS/2. She's famous in the design community. She's freelance and does design jobs. Do you know who she is? Did anybody in the Open Source world, back when the Linux companies had money, think to have her do the design?

Because writing a fixed-point decoder without the spec (which only came out recently) is pretty difficult.
I'm not sure I'd want my house to be controlled by something called Echelon. :-)
The answer is never none, since the framebuffer has to be stored in video RAM.
The future of fiber-to-the home is Ethernet-like passive optical networks.

Apple would lose AltiVec, but they'd gain SSE and SSE2 which are almost the same thing.
Why wouldn't Carbon work on x86? It's just C code.
Whoever moderated me down as flamebait ought to fine-tune their sense of humor IMO.
Obviously this contest is rigged; the Pascal programmers are a shoo-in.
The more Rendezvous-enabled devices and apps are out there, the more useful it is.
What's Microsoft's incentive to remove unlicensed MP3 players? It's not their patent.
If their policy hasn't changed, then why did they change the wording on that Web page? Sounds fishy to me.
But if you just want to listen to it or show it to your friends (as the article says), a DVD burner and appropriate software is all you need.

I guess this guy hasn't heard of the iMac.
Creating a personal music library does not require a license, but the software you use to do it does need a license.
I was talking about the QuickTime file format, since NSV is a file format.
NSV has no advantage over QuickTime and questionable advantage over MPEG-4.
That's not how it's going to work. The switchover from VeriSign to whomever won't affect the expiration of existing .org domains.

Perhaps they've hidden the SSID? In that case, you'll have to type it in yourself.
I tried typing in the SSID, but I just got an error message.

Yes, they did.
Now to top it off we just need a standard protocol so you can slave an Audiotron from an iPAQ Music Center, ZapStation, etc.
Packets are not packets over cell phone networks, either. AOL Messaging does not take the same form as a tcp/ip connection over cellphones.
That sounds like a bug, since history shows that IP beats everything else. But I don't feel like arguing.
