...you "only" need to have deep knowledge of the internals of Windows (one thing I don't have).
I do. I even know the error code in hex by heart. I can even recite you all the hex codes on the blue screen (it happens so often that I can remember this, amazing!).
Well, according the "specs", this thing is not that hard to build. It's basically a computer with the right interface for TV and sound system.
It's still vapor right now for sure, but there's nothing in this device (according the description) that requires anything not developed yet. If you have the $ and patience, you too can build one yourself.
Yeah, that's nice that someone is paying attention and asking the right question. But this is nothing until there is a follow-up on all this mess caused by RIAA/MPAA etc.
If some congress person raises the question, and suddenly he/she is silenced by a flood of lobbyist money (Boucher is not like that, is he?), then we are back to square one, and nothing is achieved, besides shining a bright light in this age of darkness for a little while.
Now, if this can build up a momentum of grass root movement, and put real pressure on the legislation people to change things, then that would be a kudo.
What you can do is, go to those spammer sites for opting out, then fill in the email address of you congress person, your senator, your mayor, your president, John Ashcroft, and every other politician that you have the email address.
That's what I do.
I believe that, sooner or later, we will get a really tough law against spammers, especially if you do this at the pr0n sites.
Well, this kind of things suddenly become a horror to the US/.ers, just because the case has something to do with CDs, copyright, "piracy", RIAA,... which are things that/.ers care most.
However, the US government has been using this kind of economic imperialism tactics in almost every domain and industry to bully other countries, big and small (not that everything always works the way the US government want to, though). Unfortunately, a lot of those are not interesting to the typical/.ers.
Well, get out of the US, talk to the honest people who are trying to do business with the US (which shout out loud on every roof that they are pro-free-trade, human right protector and freedom figther), and you will get really nasty horror stories.
Maybe next time, you will think twice before electing (or letting the court appoint) a president. Or maybe you will get involved more too. And maybe, some days, the world might be better too.
Airborne internet access would, if successful, help diversify the Boeing group away from the cyclical jet building business.
And how?
Boeing is going to install internet connection on their airplanes, and Boeing is still in the business of.... building airplanes. How is installing a few more wires going to change that?
Great, I thought that as long as I used cash only (most of the times) for my consumption, I can keep my consumption behavior pretty private. That last means is being "worked on" too, eh?
Good thing the technology is not very practical at this point, and I doubt it's going to be implemented, as it is described in the article.
Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space and time that are set off by accelerations of massive bodies, such as black holes or supernovas.
Sounds like string theory in applied science. Could anyone explain/comment how much of string theory affect research in space travel?
The problem with my mouse is not me, but my boss. For some reasons that are too difficult to grasp for my techhead, she just loves to play on my computer. The problem is, she never washes her hand after toilet, according to a female colleague who was horrified to see the boss play with my computer.
Now, only if I could get a mouse to wash and sanitize itself too....
Bruce Eckel has put his very well written books for download. That's very nice of him. For those of you who can afford, don't forget to buy a copy too, just to show your support/appreciation. I've bought a copy of "Thinking in Java", even though I've never opened the hard copy book. I end up giving it to my brother-in-law.
I haven't finished downloading the last release

yet on my 56k modem, and a new one is already out? I'm hopeless...
Better yet, could any organization sponsor a tour of townhall meetings across America, to educate the general population what is going on? And have Larry Lessig explains in the "easily comprehensible english terms"?
If stupid legistations like this can be passed, and can never be struck down, wouldn't any political activism be a lost cause, then?
If this is the case, what's the message to the mega corp? They can buy all the laws that will favor them, as they know that none can be struck down later.
I believe there's a need to "do some clean-up", at least, clean up the irrelevant, the stupid, the ugly, the unjust, and the redundant laws.
Or can this only be achieved through a bloody revolution? I hope not.

Standards, standards, we only want standards implemented in hardware!

The next thing you will see is insurance companies will lobby to pass a law that CTS not eligible for any compensation anymore.
The worst thing is to have bad laws stacking up on each other.
When a product is still vapor, ...

But that's a start.
It runs on linux, but looks like ass, and is slow. It runs and looks *great* on win2k, though.
Totally agreed. If only it runs as well on Linux as on W2K, I'll be using it everyday. And for god-sake, why Motif (when was Eclipse first developed)?
And, how about customizable key bindings? I want my Emacs keybindings in Eclipse too.
And their logo should be something like this:
A chubby face is blowing wind, while with a naughty half smile, and a window shatters into pieces.
That's a connotation for an overall wiping of the Windows desktop.
... and 70% of the population will spend 10 times longer per day interacting with people in the e-world than in the physical world.
Don't worry, I already have my avatar ready, and ready to log on to the Metaverse, as soon as it is open for business.

And without the noise, how am I supposed to notice that my NT box just went totally blue?
As soon as I stop hearing disk trashing, I know it.
Darn, I'll use an MD5 of a pass phrase next time.
Copyright owners might be interested in it as a way of saving back-ups of their paper-work that cannot be destroyed by some freak accident
That's easy. Publish it on the usenet. Short of total Earth destruction, that piece of work will never get lost.
Oh, don't worry. You wouldn't get cracked. A secure embedded XP will be installed on every bill, so you'll be just fine.
And now, "going to get a new computer" means going to the bank ATM machine.

Comon... nice hack, but, get up and walk outside for a while.
Ah, from this statement, we know you are not a real gamer. Dude, real gamers don't walk away from the game, this is about professionalism.
