Yes. And it's has organic in the name, so no one will have to feel bad about adding to the trashpile. Even though it probably takes an insane amount of natural resources to make a panel. I hope it will have some recyclable properties.
And as far as price goes, if it would cost less than 50% of LCDs than it would be comparable. The backlighting on the LCDs fades away in 5 years too. And the MTBF on them is not much longer than a decade, so you thrash your LCD every ten years anyway. Heck, even CRTs don't often last 10 years, altough in that case it is more like tech-rot gets to them, the resolution, the bandwidth of a 10 year old CRT is just not capable for more than 800x600 at 60Hz interlace at max 16 bit color.
I wish your argument would be accurate, but let us use another example. If I let my gun be stolen and you gun down someone with it, you go to jail, and I may or maynot get my gun back. But I am not responsible. Why is my connection being stolen any diff?
A) Prohibited sharing your connection with anybody else; an end-user is not a reseller;
A) In other words, ISP fear free competition. See google:lilypond networks. See also Linux vs Microsoft on the aspect of open vs close
B) Held end users responsible for their connection, including maintaining
reasonable security over their password and physical security over their connection.
Emphasis added. It is hard to argue that he is not maintaining reasonable security, when 90% of fellow wireless-lusers have the exact same security over their net (or the lack thereof).
And he did not argue that it might earn him a disconnection from his ISP. He made the point that it might be a viable defense against P2P convictions...
But take a more likely situation: the RIAA comes knocking. You might still need to spend a good deal of money on lawyers, but at least RIAA won't be getting it...
According to OLED rumors, it is excellent (ie. better than anything we have currently) out-of-the-box. However after a year you will notice fading, and in two years it will be worse than LCD.
Agreed. However you might get out of paying RIAA or MPAA an arm and a leg. Plus you might avoid the sex-offender conviction... (No beyond reasonble doubt)
Writing an article touting these acts is stupid. Without the article the author could claim that he did all this, because he got tired of applying security patches and typing all passwords and clearing out logs.
He could also shrink-wrap license it, by saying something like "by establishing connection through this wireless access point, you hereby agreed to accept these terms: blah, blah...". Where would be a good place to do this? I don't know, not a witeless expert. In fact I will not build one even if they pay me (if they payed me, I'd recommend going copper immediately).
a. 80%-90% of wireless users never secure their net b. securing the net require way above technical knowledge c. even when you think you secured it, it is probably not secure (see built in factory passwords) d. even if it is the most secure at the moment, it requires constant updating and patching to stay that way
All of the above reasons will stand in a court of law.
It is a fact after you do open your net up there is no way for them to proove that you commited the illegal acts. The fact that you did this opening up by stupidity or on purpose does not change that fact.
They can maybe get you on intent, as it might be argued that you opened up so you can do illegal acts, but that is far fetched.
1. read first 3 bytes with http bytrange 2. if id3, process tag from byte 0 3. else read last 10 bytes 4. if 3di, process tag from backwards 5. else, see if there is a id3v1 tag at the end 6. if yes, read last 10 bytes before id3v1 7. if 3di, then process backwards
So it is possible. He just needs to read the fricking id3 tag definitions.
I like reading, Library of Congress gives a pretty good selection, IMHO.
Anyway then we can conclude that almost all movies on DVD, all CDs and all book in the LoC fit on this PetaBox. Probably would fit a good chunk of all published photographs as well. That is a good start for a Media Center.
But (as you can probably tell I am reading William Gibson), it would only fit a small portion of a complete sensory input. That bandwidth must be ginormus. To record that even in compressed mode must take multiple petabytes.
Even what we can record:
visual: about 5GB/hr in crappy over-compressed DVD native format. audio: included above temperature (touch): probably less than 1K/hr pressure (touch): ??? probably less than 100MB/hr I am too lazy, but body-surface/pressure-sensor-area * pressure-range/pressure-sensitivity * pressure-sensivity-dynamics-time * 1 hour smell/taste: can't really measure...
So we process 5.1GB+ per hour, probably even more (much more).
So in a lifetime of 80 years we percive (as we can record):
3.6 PB (peta).
Conclusion: you just need 4 of these PetaBoxen and you can make a complete DVD of your life 24/7.
Given that Moore's Law seems to underestimate the storage size growth (they doubled every 12 months, instead of 18).
2004: 250GB... (left to reader's excercise) 2018: 4PB
So by that time we can have a single harddisk containing the complete "DVD of Your LifE (TM)" or DOYLE for short.
BUT WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT TO WATCH THAT BORING SH!T???

Doh.

Viva la anarchy.
A gridlock is essentailly anarchy, the legislation is effectively tied up, or in other words non-effective.
I would not be suprised to not hear about CmdrTaco (poster) or phr1 (sumbitter) ever again. Their are probably working on their tan in Gitmo.
I am not sure who was heading the "its-only-getting-wierder dept.", but hose are gone as well.
And now it's my turn. I breached the secrecy, just by disclosing the above.
We got $~2.50 a galoon here in SoCal.
even tastier.
have you ever noticed what tastes good is going to give you cancer???

Assuming 2 layered disks that is 10 GB per disk (feeling generous).
100 disk -> 1 TB
15000 disks -> 150 TB.
Netflix has a "mere" collection of 15000 disks. Your patebyte disk is only 1/6th full.
You upload all music CDs: 1 GB per disk (feeling generous).
How many CDs can be in print? Maybe a 500,000?
That is only 500 TB. Now your disk is 2/3rd full.
Lets upload all printed material. May or may not fit in the rest.
Then again, if you want to archive the internet: ~6G pages. 10kB each. 60 TB. each run. Store the last 16 versions -> 1TB.
I guess it was not clear. I meant the "post" was a little testosterone filled, not the arrangement... :-)

Well put. This is really what I was trying to point out with my parent post.
I love pocky too.
