I still consider ram baed stuff for when I want something like that won't mind getting bounced around a bit. I can't help but think a hard disk based player (which is heavier) reacts well to being bounced up and down all its life...
Also RAM based can have quicker access although there is the obvious loss of storage. Now if there was a CF based player...
Where I live 40% of the people can't get cable or ADSL. A majority of people are on 56K or less modems. I live in the UK. We are now offically becoming a techincal backwater
So the bids at $20 when I could just buy it for $0.99.Of course I don't see why he can't transfer it. I can sell any CD I buy and surely this is even simpler as it is digital with no shipping costs etc.
IT nice to see a current state of the market however I have to wonder out of those that are unusable do any include some major functions that most people use. IT would be nice to have the way things are broken to be quantified a bit more
Also from this months Stuff Magazine there is a perview of this phone on the inside back cover. One other funky thing it can do is that if you rotate it 90 degrees it will actually flip the screen orientation
You are wrong about open ports. If you take OpenBSD which is the most secure OS on the planet ships with SSH open by default. Now yes it secure but its still an open port.
One thing against clusters rather than machines designed for the ground up is memory access. If on a n Single System Image (SSI) system is that any node can access memory of another over fast internconnects. With a cluster the memory has to be transfered over ethernet which even if using 10GB Ethernet is still a number of magnitudes lower than memory
Now this is cool and if they can make it show itself as 4 CPU's instead of one it might neven mean that porting existing software is easier. Of course I'm not sure what the performance overhead would be
Now it would be cool that if you had some of these roming free in an office building and they communicated about what they had done the you could just havea small pack of the robots constatnly cleaning
DOes anyone know (as I can't work out from the article) if this is a Single System Image ala SGI Altix hardware or it is a cluster? Would love to see the interconnect spped
1/2 the enjoyment of listening to music is that differenet artists sound different. That there is something extra at live performances. If I wanted to hear the same music over and over I would leave a Britney Spears CD on auto repeat

I would also like to point out our companies donation scheme at JVDS.com

I can't see the difference. If anything pkg_add -r would almost be suprior

Of course there is the DRM

I guess you could just email their tech support to help you :)

Of course we need to upgrade....We need to see how annoying the new animated logos are

So there is about 1 in a million chance but taking that 1 in a million chances happen 9 times out of 10 we are all doomed

Most phones have digital focus which take the quality from bad to worse

Cool now I can zoom on the phone camera and get close ups of girls bums :)

Well planes release worse.. IT nice to have ablock of frozen urine come through your ceiling

You have to wonder how many hidden calls there are? I'm sure at least on major one will be hidden making this all nice and hard

Just change the ID3 tag on all the files and that will break any existing MD5 checksums. Even addiing a capital will do it

Some sort of redundant bug system

The next Windows releaase will be guarenetted to be bug free and work on 286+. Also it will be free. And fairies will becomign out of Bill Gates' Arse

Just wait until MS comes along and offers deep deep discount with lots of tech support.
