From the article: "Why doesn't Blizzard provide facilities that enable these emulators to authenticate CD keys through Battle.net?
In order for us to keep our proprietary CD-key algorithms secure, we cannot allow outside servers to query for the validity of CD keys."
This is an outright lie. Pass on the CD-key (if you're worried about security, ssl-it) and have it respond with a checksummed "yes" or "no"
Let me know when I, a typical home user, can afford one of these chips in place of a "regular" one, and then we'll look at what OSs properly support the CPUs. In the mean time, it's the corporations that will be buying computers based on this chip, and have the money to purchase the OS to match.
Spare CPU cycles are not free. I was running dNet clients on a solaris farm for about a month. The temperature in the room dropped 5 degrees c one hour after shutting the clients down.
Being a Canadian Satellite company employee, I can tell you that, no, it doesn't really help. Although the PVR (which is essentially a Dish Network 501) is a great unit, you can't do any of the cool hacks to it that you can do with the Tivo and Replay units. If you have a PC with a tv capture card, you can do everything with a 4500 or better ExpressVu that you can do with the PVR (though it's a lot messier and arguably more expensive) and then some. The PVR is just a nicely integrated package, giving you timered recordings and pause/play buttons.
Was it in an oven? Seriously, I do wonder how much tech support they hand out... My visor installed flawlessly from step one. I've even bounced it off the pavement once. Still chirping at me!
This says nothing of being able to move a fetus between real and artifical wombs. Read the article please!
This is about starting the embryo out in the artifical womb, and having it stay there. Re-attaching a plecenta isn't what I'd call trivial, and that is what is necessary to move a fetus between two wombs.
Don't you think they'd do this for unborn children whose mother has died if they could?
On one hand, the preempt patch makes heavy use of SMP spinlocks, and the stability of preempt in parts of the kernel that arn't SMP capable (which are few and far between at this point) and on SMP systems is questionable. On the other hand, an awful lot of users have been testing and reporting back to lkml, and Robert Love has been persuing the bugs with the dedication of a first love. I'm sure that scores points with the power(s) that be on LK.
It matters not what you should or shouldn't be able to do after agreeing with a licence. Once the agreement is made, it's made. I should be able to do whatever I want with my computer programming assignments, but the teacher picks the licence. I agree with it, otherwise I don't get the marks. In this particular case, the users aren't even creating what they sell. They are selling items and tokens granted to them by the program.
Not quite - the tools used to create the world, the tools used to create the music, are licensed or sold to the creators. The creators make the music, or game. The consumers play the game or listen to the music. If the consumers want to sell parts of the game, then the creator has the right make efforts to block it, same as music copyright owners making efforts to block the distribution of lyrics.
Telecommunication and television satellites ALL paint all of the continental US with microwaves, and many of the DTH satellites are 120 watts. Regardless, there are 30+ satellites all painting the us with a minimum of 40 watts of microwave energy each. This town is no exception.
Again, WRONG.
I don't know mi/hr, so I'm going to present you with something in m/s.
Gravity on the earth's surface is 9.8m/s.
If you have a payload on the ground of arbitrary weight and a motor that can provide enough thrust to lift it at 10m/s, in second 1 it will have.2 m/s of speed. In second 2 it will have.4 m/s of speed, second 3.6 m/s of speed and so on, until the motor runs out of fuel. A rocket that would provide 9.8m/s of thrust would provide constant upward velocity, so it would hover, or if you threw it straight up at 1m/s it would maintain that 1m/s until it fell sideways. Let's say for arguement's sake that our payload makes it into orbit, and it's a stable orbit. Once it is there, it is traveling around the earth at a very high speed in relation to the ground.
The space shuttle does about 17,500 miles an hour in low earth orbit. Last time I checked it doesn't fly off into the sun when it reaches that speed. Why? Because earth escape velocity at sea level is 11.2 kilometers per second. That's somewhere around 40,000 km/h, or around 25,000 miles an hour. Now, escape velocity for the shuttle in a LEO would be less than it would be at sea level, but it would still need to reach it to leave orbit. In fact, by firing their engines and accelerating, they could achieve a higher orbit. They would also be going faster. Keep in mind that the moon is in orbit - So an object 'about as far away as the moon' is still in orbit of the earth, and will remain that way until it reaches a velocity that will remove it from orbit. That aside, back to the inital arguement. Nothing can go faster than the speed of light. The gravity around what has been described as a 'black hole' is so intense that there is a point around it at which light can not escape. What this means to you is that the acceleration at this point around the center of the 'black hole' is equal to the negative value of the speed of light - translation? You need a rocket that can produce 299,792,458 m/s of thrust, and not only produce that amount of thrust, but to simply maintain its position on the event horizon, it must continue to maintain that thrust FOREVER. At any point, if the rocket stops producing that thrust, it will be pulled farther into the 'black hole' and will will need an even higher amount of thrust to stop 'falling in.' If, by some magic trick you could go FASTER than the speed of light, then you could escape, but seeing as we can't even reach that speed yet, let alone exceed it, I don't see how your 10 mi/h rocket is going to do the same trick. Here's a link for you that might help explain escape velocity for you, but you'll need a calculator. What is escape velocity? Oh, and stop wasting my time.
bzzzzzt - WRONG Rockets leave earth orbit by reaching escape velocity. Thrust provides ACCELERATION which is measured in distance/time(squared) - speed is distance/time - the reason thrust is distance/time(squared) is because the speed is INCREASING.
Now, before you try to tell me that you can use thrust to hover off the ground, yes. That's because there is gravity, measured in distance/time(squared) - HOW ABOUT THAT!! Gravity is measured as ACCELERATION... holy crap.
light doesn't have thrust either. Light can not escape the event horizon of the black hole - the point where the escape velocity is faster than the speed of light - the gravity pull is simply too strong. Find me a rocket than can exceed the speed of light, and then we'll talk.
I have friends in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario. Even in Thunder Bay and Dryden, which are in Northern Ontario (and have already had several feet of snow fall this year) people have AC installed. Lakehead University in Thunder Bay has thermally insulated doors on the enterances to the AC'd server rooms, marked "Keep Closed" - Yes, this is Canada. We have -40 (centigrade) winters and +30 summers.

I'm not mixing anything up. If you don't understand that acceleration is necessary to reach a velocity other than the original, that's your own fault.
Again, WRONG. .2 m/s of speed. In second 2 it will have .4 m/s of speed, second 3 .6 m/s of speed and so on, until the motor runs out of fuel.
