Are there repair persons anymore? Seems stuff is so shoddy nowadays it is not expected to last more than one or two years. Even if I want to have my machines repaired, they are either impossible to repair or it is cheaper to purchase a new one.
BackupPC does deduplication. So if You take a backup from all your filesystems with BackupPC, You have identical files stored only once. BackupPC uses hard links to do the deduplication, so another copy of a file only takes a directory entry. You can then discard you current backups, if need be.
I do not see the sense in translating closed source games for free. The translation is usable only by the game company, most likely there is a clause somewhere stating the translator loses all rights to his/her work after submitting the translation to the game company.
Surely there are umpteen open source applications needing translation to any language. There the translation also becomes "free", so it can be used in other similar appliations or in other contexts.
Perhaps age difference itself is the reason. Young persons may not like the 20 years older hackers. And old wizened developers may dislike young whippersnappers.
Using optical aim does not really give an advantage because the maps in Counter Strike are so small that accurate shooting with iron sights is possible, especially because CS shows the crosshair in the screen.
Hiding does not really work, small maps are partly to blame because sniper can not be far enough from targets. Another factor is not being able to go prone, so sniper is easily visible to targets. If the first shot misses, sniper usually loses because the target can shoot back faster.
The AWM is a finger of god only to cheaters using aimbot and wallhack.
Perhaps spammers have discoverd this phenomenon already. I have wondered who buys anything from advertisers who send e-mails where almost none of the words are spelled correctly.
With this scrambling technology fooling spam filters is a piece of cake, no two sent spams need be identical because every e-mail can have the middle letters of every word reordered ramdomly.
Filtering based on typical words fails also, there are 4! = 24 different spelligs for Viagra. Enlarge can be spelled 120 different ways.
Interesting to see how GSM data connections affect voice call pricing. With a laptop connected to GPRS enabled mobile phone it is already possible to use VoIP programs to get voice calls essentially free if a fixed monthly fee data connection is available.
Even with a data limit of 1M Bytes, two hours of voice are possible with 64kbit/s data rate. More hours are possible with compression, I believe GSM phones use about 8kbits/s and voice quality is still acceptable.
With a mobile phone that can run TCP/IP and some VoIP program like GNU oSIP voice calls can be free, so charging current prices works only if mobile operators can ban VoIP.
I understand this particular camera is aimed at newspaper photographers shooting sports events. For that WiFi is good, but a consumer camera this is not.
What about having a standard way to move pictures from the camera via a GSM phone to the recipient? This would work where there is GSM coverage, i.e. pretty much everywhere at least here in Finland. There are printers that can accept pictures directly from the camera, something similar might be appropriate for GSM phones. If the camera and phone have Bluetooth, it is also wireless and the photographer can keep the phone in his/her pocket.
I would assume that reporters would buy this, they could send the photos to office right after having shot them. A paparazzi would love this, the shots are sent to the newspapers before the victim has time to break the camera.
If it is so easy to get the ISP to reveal the identity of a P2P user, why not get them to give the names and addresses behind the accounts that send SPAM?
It does not matter to whom the money goes. If the spammer must pay a fee, it becomes less profitable to run the spamming busines. Even it the fee is very small, it may make spamming unprofitable, because the spammer may need to send one million e-mails to get one sucker to part with money.
If the ISP charges the money, so much the better, because then it is bad business to run open relays. Better to set up the SMTP properly and start collecting fees.
Telecom companies provide a needed service, a phone is considered a necessary household item, and an Internet connection is becoming that.
Now, in many countries a telco has been forced to provide it's services to all parts of the country, even in sparsely populated areas, to get the telecom license. Now it is possible, with the new technologies, for startup telco replacements to start offering their services in big cities. By offering data connections and VoIP there, they can get all the traditional telco customers to switch to the new services. This may of cource take time, since big companies may have made investments in their own infrastructure and are unwilling to do a forklift upgrade.
But this leads to telecom companies going bankrupt and sparsely populated areas losing all service. A telco can easily make a profit in densely populated areas, but may run to red where there is only one customer every few kilometers.
Pumping money to failing companies is just rewarding badly run businesses, since there was no law that prevented incumbent telecoms from offering these same new technologies to their customers. They would even have been in a better position to do it, since they already had the customer base.
Sooner or later it becomes a problem when something that people need in their normal everyday life is run by market forces. Banks and railroads are good (or bad?) examples.
Make the phones more durable. Using an expensive phone for 18 months only and then throwing it away is silly. My mobile phone is from year 1998, I still use it and the newer models do not offer anything that I need.

Does Microsoft for some reason want to keep on using names that are similar to what others are already using?
Seems also birds are afraid of snakes. I place rubber snakes on places like boat decks and balconies, they are very effective and birds stay away.

What about selling air in bottles with sticker stating "Regular inhaling of air significantly increases life expectancy".

Clive Sinclair and Sinclair Research worked on
Wafer Scale Integration in 1983. http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/z005.htm
At first glance, this cell processor thing seems
about the same, i.e. use the whole wafer of circuits, instead of cutting it to individual processors.
