Or here's another thought; walk out to the freakin' lobby and use a land line. If someone need to reach you in an emergency they can call the lobby and have someone get you or they can page you. There's no nead for a cellphone inside a theater unless you expect evil terrorists to blow up the lobby and trap you inside. If that happened, I'm pretty sure someone outside would notice anyway. I could be wrong (though that hasn't happend since '87).

I wouldn't be terribly suprised if there was a project out there somewhere... to basically turn a bunch of RAM into an IDE drive.
I have seen products available that do this, but I don't have the slightest idea where it was or what it was called. And just to throw in another link for CF adapters, here.
He never said it was started/complete in the text you quoted. "Will it be possible..." - Future tense. "this gives us great flexibility..." - The infrastructure can be present long before all the resources are in place. Where are you coming from?
Anyway program which insisted on the CD being in the drive all the time would be a very unpopular form of dongle.
Many games have been doing this for quite some time. Most have a small crack available since all the necessary data is already installed to the hard drive.
And what happens when the contained program decides it wants to query the cd as to whether it's valid or how many licenses you have left? It'll require patching the software as well which could be difficult.
If you bought a puppy at a pet store, would you rip off one of its legs so that you could keep it in your car? Maybe one of its other legs to take with you when you're out on a run?
No, but he may put the dog in a pet taxi to take it in a car or put it on a leash to take it for a walk. Same dog, different mode of transportation. By the way I know this was a troll, but I bit anyway.
From what I gather it should work on all cd-roms. A light sensor on the cd recieves signals from the read head on a cd-rom. If the embeded smart card is happy it uses a LED to send back the proper key. If there is only one LED then I'm guessing the software would read that same spot multiple times (whose position [1|0] may change each time) then aggregate the reads into a valid key. It's impossible to make a CD-R have a bit that dynamically changes. If this works the way I think it may, the only way to copy a cd is to decrypt the data with the valid cd then distribute the decrypted part and include a crack that bypasses the authentication. Of course this would be meaningless for media (audio tracks, movies, etc) since they can just be played and recaptured.
First of all, you can already watercool every major component in your pc. You still need a fan or two to keep other minor circuits from over heating the inside of your case. As far as condensation goes, unless you use peltiers or something it's not a problem. A standard water cooling system stays at about room tempterature or maybe a couple of degrees over. Condensation will not form unless the water drops below room temperature which is literally impossible with just a fan and radiator. If you do use a peltier or something to further cool the block, there are gaskets available to seal off your CPU and block from the surounding air so condensation shouldn't be a major problem if done correctly.

Watercooling Made Easy

...for the future, I can envision a water-cooling system that can collect heat from several heat sources in the machine, and cool them all using one radiator and one fan.
You can already do that. Just add more blocks to the line. There blocks available for all the major video cards, hard drives, and the northbridge. All the major components of the computer can be water cooled today. There are still many smaller components that are impractical for water cooling (unless you totally submerse) and need some air cooling. For those one large fan at a low RPM should suffice and be nearly silent.
I'm not really sure how this has anything to do with evolution. They built the "bird" in its entirety and provided the logic it needed to arrive at a conclusion. The program they wrote worked. How in the world does that demonstrate any kind of evolution even vaguely? Did I miss something in the article?
No he didn't. You just restated what he said. Perhaps you misread his comment. Michael is the one who misread the article.

No, it means you own the CD itself, not the software on it. This man does not have to pay for the book, but he certainly cannot ignore the license/copyright and reprint it to his heart's desire. He would still be bound by whatever is in that shrinkwrap license as if he had bought the book in a store.
Do you think the 3G phones will be able to be used as a wireless modem like current phones? I'd love to use left-over minutes near the end of the month for some decent gaming over the internet. DSL here is rediculously expensive. I wonder how the latency will be...
Yes the vendor is at fault, but so is MS for not including a mechanism to manage messages or at least identify where it came from. Why in the world is there no way to identify the source of a message? Security is a multilayered beast. The apps shouldn't display windows running as system, but Windows shouldn't allow just any program to send anonymous messages to any window it likes.
User habits have nothing to do with this. What if its that user who wants the priviledge escalation? If you had read the paper, you'd know this exploit isn't run by simply clicking a button or two. Anyone who does this will know exactly what they're trying to do. No ammount of "encouraging good user habits" will stop this unless it involves a cat of nine tails.

No, Microsoft effected the Corporate Edition quite some time ago.

You weren't quite subtle enough on that troll, but you were close. Keep working at it. You can do it!
Actually the Vivastar RS-111 burns DVD-R/RAM but does not burn cd-r/rw. Of course it is only $220.
Actually Fark.com had it Monday around 7:30AM (Probably PDT or close) if you really want to get picky.
No respectable hacker (or any respectable person) substitutes every letter in a sentence with that dribble. Grow up.

i hate to break it to you, but most companies care a lot more about their profits than your 'feelings'.
But its difficult to take into account the cost of lost business. They probably don't realize in a lot of cases just how much it is costing them.
