The point Negroponte was making was that p2p has not yet achieved its potential. You must admit that after the boom in filesharing, new applications of peer-oriented network protocols dropped off dramatically. But the economies and liberties enabled by p2p have not yet begun to emerge in many areas where they can be applied to good effect.
The binary computer was invented in 1937 by John Atanasoff of the University of Iowa, and it was from this binary stored program design that John Mauchly derived many of his significant contributions to the design of Eniac.
Hardly a loophole. It's quite carefully and explicitly written into the law, after extensive lobbying, negotiating, and politicking by the representatives of the involved commercial interests.
I don't think (IANAL) that you would incur any added legal liability by broadcasting content obtained by copying a source which the copyright holder did not explicitly grant permission to you to copy. If you think you would, please post a citation.
It's rather amusing. Photos of torture and dead bodies? Ban cameras. The President expresses revulsion at the photographs, but orders the deeds recorded in those revolting photographs. Got to get your head back in the sand, I guess.
I think it's more like: In a 50-50 competitive market for windows customers, the first company that snatches up the 10% remaining non-windows customers will crush its competition.
That argument might hold water if it weren't for the fact that all the binary drivers from nVidia and ATI suck ass, while the open source 3d drivers written by the user community actually work, and don't crash your system.
So, the end result is that instead of buying $450 video cards, I buy $30 cards which actually work. I buy them for myself, for my employer, for my family members, and especially for my friends (who would otherwise frag me far too easily).
It doesn't matter one bit whether Bush or Kerry wins. The rulers of the nation own them both. The fix was already in. You've got to let the slaves pick between potatos and rice, or they won't feel free. But don't give them beans, or they might grow strong enough to mess with you.
After the new fascists evacuated northern France so that hoi polloi wouldn't interfere in their reindeer games, D-Day can piss off. I guess Hitler won after all.
Well, Latin pretty well died in 454 A.D., but they still speak it in Vatican City in 2004 A.D., and I recall the film "Rushmore" posing the question "is Latin really dead?" almost as recently, so we can put a firm lower bound of 1550 years...
For some of us, the ability to use assembly-language to optimize critical sections on sensitive platforms or to access memory-mapped hardware registers is the sine qua non for the very option of writing portable code. Absent this ability, we'd have to write entire systems in low-level asm.
For that matter, neither does the description indicate whether the diameter and circumference are measured from the inside or from the outside. If the diameter is measured on the outside, and the circumference on the inside, and the vessel was taken to be perfectly circular, and the precision of the measurement to be infinite, one could trivially compute the thickness of the vessel wall.
Or maybe the hebrew word for "hexagonal" is translated as "circular".

OTOH films based on videogames seem to be doing quite well. Case in point: Tomb Raider 1 & 2. Despite miserable plots, comic-book acting, and mediocre effects, these turned a pretty damn good profit.
but yeah, most people with money are fools. put them out of their misery by parting them from their money: give them what they want. think of them as children, not as rational economic agents. give them shiny toys, and they will be happy. do rocket science, and they will whine and pout and probably piss on you.

You *do* know that registered RAM is shooting your
bandwidth to hell, right? Don't use registered
unless you need it for SMP.
Grandpa's on crack again? Bummer. Well, at least
that's better than my mom on meth.
But that "drive" can be a ramdrive, or a tiny partition which is mirrored and never mounted after
boot. I don't see the disadvantage, frankly.
Even the CPU cost of soft RAID is vanishingly small
these days, when caches are 2-8MB and CPUs are
approaching 5000 bogomips.
I see the difference as being MORE PORTS. Lets
me cram more drives into the box.
