patents should be on a process and as such software should not be patentable
its like saying I have copyrighted the ability to write trashy novels
there is no way that you could get away with this
simple because its too wide rangeing people argue that their software patents cover very specific things but unfortunatly you cant have them if you dont allow the wide rangeing
first of all the bios will be updated and so I am guessing will be the OS to support Windows Media
MS has signed a bunch of DVD people to the wmp format and will at some point start to release films now for a studio whats better DVD
o expensive media due to the newness
o lots of region independant players (so they cant really relase when they want)
o cracked so that people can copy them
WM format
o can use a CDROM and boy are those cheap
o Control over regions
o Control over Copying
o Control
o Total Control
yes if it starts up then soon their will be a crack for wmp formats (search theregister.co.uk for version7)
now the mods will have to be invented for the Xbox as sson as then change the bios
thank god MS didnt use a decent arch and put the whole thing on a chip so we can Bus snoop (-;
oh for gods sake ive been running apache on ARM for a long time
the reason that you run apache is that it is threaded and can handle multiple connections at the same time and a bunch of other features that I wont list here see httpd.apache.org
compared to thttpd wich while tiny has no real performance
I wrote a webserver in about 200 lines so its not hard (mine had images as well)
the cool thing would be porting a 802.11b stack to a uCOS or eCOS now that would be cool
if you are a company dont try this stick with passwords
just actually force your users to change them and use decent hashing on all your files
wake up the only people who can do biometric are guv's beacsue its so damn expensive TO GET RIGHT most are cheap fail within 6mths or simply by blowing on it you can fool them
yes and to get this working they did Nothing haveing already done the work
hey I'm not saying it was easy to port x86 windows version of the sim's to linux but they would be in a world of pain to get it to run on a big endian RISC machine without doing the transitives thing
basically transitives can emulate x86 on MIPS/ARM/(custom hardware) they then run linux (x86) which has wine installed(transgaming wineX to be exact) which runs the sims
so to get the sims running they did sweet FA
transitives had to doo all the work of makeing an x86(screwed) run on a MIPS (nice)
this is U.S. taxpayers money where's the source ? (my yank mate is always on about how U.S. guv gives stuff away that has been payed by the tax payers)
plus is there a linux version ? PS2 ? Xbox ? playstation?
just beacuse your guy in the white house wants to destroy habitat to keep his country going (only his country) does not mean that they really dont want to do research or something worthwhile with it
dont shoot it down simply because your guv doesnt like it and is going for mars
read it(the article) people accept what they get given at a conf and this guy set it up
I would be amused if I could see what other people where doodling

p.s. laptops are easy to clone all they do is put it through a Xray machine take a good look at it then ask them to unpack it then put it back through Xray machine, hold image on screen Xray off hidden compartment opens remove hddrive replaces it or clones depending on risk and then sends person on way..... detailed in MI5 docs

yep
its all stupid

frankly its all a mess
just say no to software patents in europe
write to your MEP if you live in europe

if they ditched the VGA it would be better
simply because you would not have to add all that redundant crap into the hardware
I dont care much for VGA other people do because they are lazy or cant modify their source code (-;
(even MS will be ditching VGA for longhorn)

yes bash for a shell and *.so in the right place can make or break it but the real nice thing is GCC
they have put up the fact they will use 3.1 guess whats in redhat 8.0 (-;
and what will be out quicker redhat 8.0 with all the same features and compilent with LSB or United Linux ?
now if people would sort out the BSD's and Debian to use gcc 3.1 then we would be rocking.....

john 'I dont care about gcc for the PDP' jones
well I'm sorry but all the benchmarks seem to be cache hitters and so run pretty damn fast
real systems are about BANDWIDTH
memory bandwidth/latency is the reason AMD killed the P4 in benchmarks
lets see INTEL go up aganst a SUN on a large oracle DB then I will take notice
really this is where SUN make their money

cambridge thought it would be a good idea to give people public bikes

they got stolen by a few people and then they didnt try it again
it'll be the same with the wireless points some people will abuse it and all the rest of us wont be able to use it
who cares really
I want my 384Kbs to my mobile phone NOW......
then I dont have to share my bandwidth if I dont want to

Java presents a Virtual machine which is NOT hardware
.net
they emulate the whole PC
while java is just a common runtime like

john jones
congrats

john jones
they emulate a whole system so they dont care
see my post above
sheesh

john jones
it works on existing hardware and a MIPS/ARM cpu has the same power saving or better than the crusoe...
so the question is why do custom hardware ?
I've spoken to them and they seem like a nice manchester company (-;

this is U.S. taxpayers money where's the source ?

PS2 ?
Xbox ?
playstation?
if they gave the source away

it suck's
I cant sync it with my linux box
it uses old mcore like cpu (non arm/mips)
and it looks silly
get a

or take alook at how GUI should be done (looks nice like java swing done right)

its not that hard
allspam folder grows and the sensible people who dont send you worms + virus because they use a decent mailer dont get abused
simple why are you haveing such a hard time ?
ah you must run outlook or be unable of adding filter rules OR even asking you local sysadmin to do it for you all of which mean your a moron

yeah its called streaming
wake up Video + music will be on a server and you select what you want when you want it
the tradtional ISP is gone as soon as the Mobile networks have enough bandwidth to do Video
that way if you have a TV/STB then you put in SIM chip and recive what you want paying for rentels via sim(what we think of as the phone)
and if you want music plug in you earjacks into phone and away you go
I have not seen a single new phone (based on OMAP) that cant do streaming MP3
its only a matter of time until the networks (mobile) work out this revenue generator and kick the cable co/baby bel/incumbant ARSE
muh hahaha

right get this gcc2.6 is ALOT better than 2.95
before I get people whineing that debian/***BSD and the rest use 2.95 thats because they dont care about speed
2.6 was a branch off what has become gcc 3
3.0 was pretty bad beacuse redhat/cygnus did not care about it so much and frankly it had taken 2 years to get there they just wanted it out the door
3.1 will I think after a couple of months bashing and a few point releases... rock in the end
dberlin whys that down I want to try out bugzilla ??
