If people want to use the Internet to download massive amounts of p2p content, do they really expect they should pay the same as Grandma who checks her email once a day? Bandwidth is a finite resource, even if we don't believe it.
First "Grandma who checks her email once a day" should be getting the internet for $1.99 per month with a $50 install fee.
Second "Bandwidth is a finite resource", it is not. The ISP I work for currently pays for 20Mb/20Mb and expects to be able to use 20Mb/20Mb 24/7/364. When we NEED more we will upgrade, but not until then. If our customers started using 19Mb/19Mb most of the time, not just 6-9 (when they use 19Mb/5Mb), then we would upgrade immediately. As it is we are upgrading to a 100Mb/100Mb circuit, of which 40Mb/40Mb is for our customers and the rest is to expand when needed.
My Inspiron 1501 running Linux can play 1080P just fine. The HDD and GPU is what caused it to lag for me. I just put the files in a RAM disk and have the CPU process the video and it plays smoothly.
Stick a SD card into a floppy shaped device that your drive can read like it's a real floppy. The drive can still read floppies, and there's no evidence for the warranty people.
That device uses SmartMedia cards not Secure Digital cards.
How on earth can you map the MAC (of assuming you wireless router) to a facebook account? Besides, it's the MAC which might be visible (don't know if it is) in the WIFI data a different one that the MAC used by the external interface which connects to the ISP?
It is different, but usually the WAN interface is next to it.
Also MAC addresses do not traverse the internet, they are only used between devices on the same network segment. As soon as your traffic gets passed through a router, the associated MAC info changes to the routers MAC. AFAIK.
Sorry but for example I rather keep the sex I have between me and my girlfriend our own private thing and not let everyone see it, or have videos of it. If I want to keep that to myself, according to Schmidt I shouldn't be having sex at all.
No, you shouldn't be recording the sex and placing the videos in a public location.
What they are doing is not even questionable, it is completely legal. They are just making a Wi-Fi map via scanning, not attempting to connect to the Wi-Fi.
It is high time that all police officers carry smart phones with remote blue tooth video cameras fitted to their badges which must be on display at all times whilst on duty. Two functions, one as a means by which to reference the law, which they should do for any citizen upon request and, the second the live recording and transmittal of any arrest or similar interaction with any person.
It should either be a wired camera or on public safety frequencies. Bluetooth devices are typically FCC part 15 devices (must accept interference) and run on 2.4Ghz (Wi-Fi, Microwave ovens, Bluetooth, Some cordless Phones, Baby Monitors, Wireless Cameras, Etc).
what ~$5k per month? that sounds reasonable to allow them to have access to your LAN and WAN, assuming you are an individual and not a company (then it would be ~$5M+ )
I'm fairly certain the reason the multiform taunted the Doctor about it was because the Doctor, or at least the Timelords, are the root of the problem. I'm aware he's supposedly the last Timelord alive, but we've seen how thinking you're the last often turns out...
There are actually two left, The Doctor and his "daughter", Jenny.
It's so because there are no working cracks for Settlers 7, and the anonymous coward is just shouting out the usual piracy shit that add nothing to the conversation. It's not a valid point until the pirates can actually pirate it, and it's been 1.5 months with Assassins Creed 2 now that uses the same system.
Slashdot Mirror
Where do you think that leaves Nintendo in 5 years?
Making Hanafuda[1] cards and a new console? 3D anyone?

Calling Michael Pachter an analyst is akin to calling your local butcher a surgeon. This so called analyst has a long history of ridiculous claims.
It is more like saying a cave troll is a brain surgeon or particle physicist.
he got the Microsoft one close. (or at least better than the Sony and Nintendo ones)

There are a few undelete programs. I know I have had to use one (windows program in wine tried deleting the computer)
and the internet uses RF spectrum to get to your computer. Even if it comes to your home on fiber it is converted to cat5 at some point.

Price premium = $2 less at Walmart.
No, turned into a CyberMan running on Windows.
What about something like this? http://www.memorysuppliers.com/smartdisk-flashpath-smartmedia.html?CAWELAID=327820619

and why online stores sometimes make you add an item to your cart before it will show you the price.
and then you remove the item from your cart because it is almost twice the price of a competitor with a similar product and quality.
I have legal Wi-Fi connections going up to ~10 mile PtMP and ~20 Miles PtP. So yeah, Wi-Fi can reach MUCH further than ~50meters.

Broadcasting? By making a search within Google?

but that is a setting that has to be enabled to work, and even then the files (and possibly file system) are encrypted for that device.
This is Marvel's Avengers not the UK Avengers.
How do we know it is not a type 2 Dyson sphere?
I cannot brick my Android phone. Event deleting the firmware it still boots to the flash loader.

Assassins Creed 2's DRM was cracked in one day, it was even on Slashdot.

if there is no search button on the screen, then there is one under the options menu in market
I would have called it a "Fuzzed Cluster"
