This app generates CD keys, which you have to send to MS to get the activation key that you need to activate Windows. So the only way to use this tool is to "phone home" to MS.

IIRC the P7 ALUs are 32 bits, but they're skew-pipelined so half of the operation is done in once cycle and half is done in the next cycle. So in each cycle the ALU does the lower half of one instruction and the upper half of the previous instruction. The throughput is still one 32-bit instruction per cycle per ALU.
The agoric computing papers are much older than 1999. Although I admit that P2P adds a twist by assuming that most of the resources are at the edge of the network instead of in data centers.
The parent posts in this thread weren't talking about just detecting networks, they were talking about using the network while roaming at high speed. I don't think that's possible, because your IP address would change every time you switched to a different access point.
I think most DVD players have a dedicated MPEG decoding chip and maybe a 20 MHz general-purpose CPU for control. There simply isn't enough CPU power in there for loadable codecs.
They can't "stop kernel development dead" because if they tried to screw with Linus he would just export the code from his repository and stop using BitKeeper. Linux development managed without BitKeeper before; it could do so again.
Actually, I've read that Google uses legions of machines with a few IDE drives each. The Wayback Machine uses similar hardware. Keep in mind that these are custom applications, not off-the-shelf databases, so they are written with shared-nothing clusters in mind.
There are three differend boards mentioned in this story. The eval boards are indeed expensive, but that doesn't matter because they're not intended for the general public. The "Barbie" board is intended for the general public, and it doesn't have any price listed so we don't know if it's going to be expensive or (crossing fingers) cheap.
It turned out that in two Vendroids across town from each other were two items for sale whose prices we had inadvertently set lower than what a Pawn Machine would buy them back for: Dolls (for sale at 75T, hock for 100T) and Crystal Balls (for sale at 18,000T, hock at 30,000T!). Naturally, a couple of people discovered this.... The final result was at least three Avatars with hundreds of thousands of Tokens each. We only discovered this the next morning when our daily database status report said that the money supply had quintupled overnight.
Such a bug in Project Entropia could bankrupt the company.
What if I compile a GPL'ed app and don't distribute the binary? Certainly the GPL doesn't restrict me in that case, because the GPL only restricts redistribution.

Apple didn't say anything about QT Broadcaster needing QT Pro, so I'm guessing that MPEG-4 encoding will be in all editions of QuickTime.

Given that the specs don't mention any kind of external storage, I'd guess it has internal disks.
The article is a bit poorly worded; Farsite encrypts everything, so it really is secure to store data on other people's machines.

There are non-802.11 wireless systems out there that have different security properties.
If it's wireless, then it's not a Digital Subscriber Line.
Does anyone know what hardware they're using? I would guess Nokia Rooftop because that's the only equipment of this type I've heard of.

Money, of course. They're hoping to rake in licensing fees.
I get the impression the movie studios don't much care whether you can make analog copies; they are worried about the perfect digital copies.
IIRC, Ethernet was based on the "aloha" radio network in Hawaii, but there was packet switching long before there was Ethernet.

Obviously you want a Sun laptop instead of a Mac, so why not just buy one?
If they don't get their money back, then there won't be any more MPEG standards.
And if they're too greedy they won't get their money back, so there won't be any more MPEG standards either.
Power4 (despite the name) implements the PowerPC instruction set. Old POWER binaries are emulated or something.

Since the 3G service uses minutes from your plan, does that mean it's circuit-switched? I think I'll stick with GPRS.
(Also, can someone mod up the comment about how this service is not targeted to phones but to the AirCard that goes in your laptop?)
The Uni-N northbridge appears unchanged from earlier Power Macs. I guess Apple has decided to emphasize that now that the GHz gap is so large.
For a single machine I think Red Carpet is the way to go.
For multiple machines, RHN apparently can update multiple machines from one Web interface, which I'll bet is a lot more convenient.
How about two?
