Wow.. That looks like a cool little box.. more info here
I guess the main selling point would be simple set up and config tools.. You could probably build something with more power for cheaper, but simplicity can count for a lot in this market.. -
Hm. So will I be able to take AfterEffects from this G4 and run it under OS X?.. And what about reverse compatibility.. Since OS X is built around BSD, will that have any effect on porting (Mac) applications to *nix?
Who will ensure the interoperability of viruses if MS were to be broken up into multiple companies? And what about innovation? Geez, I mean who invented the mouse and GUI anyways.. Oh wait..
Universal Access to computers doesn't guarantee any sort of social or techno-utopia, but would spread free speech and bring ideas like online voting closer.
Hmm.. wouldn't this make 'free' speech even more expensive? If your access is controlled by your employer, you better make sure your 'free' speech is aligned with theirs.
Every computer user could shop globally, every retailer sell all over the planet.
Wow! Just like the Home Shopping Network! Lets just give everyone cable TV..
Hmm.. I guess maybe its time I got rid of this old solbourne workstation with the 25Mhz sparc chip.. I wonder if I could just pop that alpha onto this MB.. Ha Ha.. Yeah, its fast- but can you heat your house with it? -
"The bus will certainly be faster," Brookwood said of the Duron. "That may make a slight difference. But in the value segment people generally buy on price, rather than features or performance."
I count myself in the value segment (i.e. cheap bastard), but I want the best performance and features for that price.. Does anyone know what the bus speed difference (200mhz) makes on performance? I imagine this would be a prime bottle-neck, and I'm curious why Intel is not working in this bus speed range yet? -
Would it really be his responsibility to be a police-force for Trademark and Copyright infringement?.. Why should a registrar limit the registration of "mcdonalds.god" or "pepsi.god"? Unless these domains are actually used to infringe the copyright, why shouldn't "Joe McDonald" be able to own "mcdonalds.god"?..
Taking it one step further- even if the site is a parody or direct rip-off of the trademark.. should the registrar really be held accountable rather than the owner?.. The internet is not like TV or Radio.. It is a "many to many" medium, more like the phone system.. Do we hold the phone company accountable if someone has a number that could "potentially" infringe on a copyright? (1-800-FAT-FOOD?) -
I've got a proposal to make the net safe.. Although it may run against the current US proposal.. One of the key points is the transfer of responsibility from Janet Reno to an agency with more understanding of net technology, such as the National Dairy Council.. -
Well.. As long as we're talkin about web-comics, I might as well plug PopeAlien.Comics..
I know I for one read more web-comics than paper-comics, and I'm wondering if that goes for others as well.. There's quite a few good ones out there (I like sinfest).. How about you? -
I know that this has been gone over and over.. But how can a EULA in an EXE be binding? Using an unzip program is hardly "cracking".. This sounds like one of those nice items thrown into the UCITA.. Agree to the terms.. THEN we'll show you the terms that you are agreeing to. -
From the FAQ: I am frustrated. We reached the moon over three decades ago, and since then we have been marching in place. It is as if the American pioneers of the previous century reached the banks of the Mississippi River and decided to quit the westward march.
This is interesting.. I've been thinking the same thing. Here we are in the future -The 21st century no less, and where is my jet-pack? Where is my rocket car?
[Insert conspiracy theory] Did we ever actually make it to the moon? -
From the FAQ: 9.We currently do not support Pay per view or pay channels (HBO etc.)for legal reasons, only commercial supported channels.
Does this make the service legal? If they are recording shows with Ads, Isn't it the advertiser that is paying for the content to get eyeballs looking at their product? From an advertiser point of view I imagine something like this would be a good thing(tm). I guess this brings up the question- If you are watching a cable channel that is antenna broadcast, but not in your area, are you paying the cable provider for the content or for the service? -
"It is simply impossible with present technologies to supply film prints of a movie to all of the theaters around the world at the same time. Motion pictures released by the major studios are generally released first in the Untied States and subsequently overseas."
Is that whats wrong? The States are Untied when they ought to be united.. -
This issues makes me ask: How many people actually give accurate personal information online? Why would you? I assume that a majority of people when faced with an online form to fill out (name, address, etc.) feel some sort of obligation to tell the truth, but I'm not sure WHY. There are too many stories of this kind to ignore the fact that personal information is VERY easy to track and store. Now how much do you trust the trackers and warehousers? Even if their intentions are good, how much do you trust their security? (CD's anyone?)
I understand that with IP addresses, etc you have less control of (unless you want to get techy and spoof) but you can certainly limit the amount of personally identifiable data you send out. I personally feel that it is important to stuff the warehouses with bunk. Increase the noise to signal ratio. Some ideas to this end:
In cases where you NEED to give personally identifiable information (i.e. ISP service, etc) why not throw in some creative spelling? Let 'em track David Smith, Daveed Smyth, and Dayvid Smeth.
Everytime you are in a store that offers one of those shopper member tracking cards (i.e. SafeWay), get one for a different person.. I've got one for Don T. Botherme and Anita Prawduct..
If you need to give out a date of birth, take the first day of the month you were born on (easy to remember)
Another thing I do.. (once tracked and marketed to) When dealing with physical junk mail, I save all the postage paid return envelopes and return the contents of the junk mail to the sender.. -
