If anyone wants the specifications and RAR files, I have sucessfully reverse engeneered a turkey bagel. I plan to create my own turkey bagels, and market them under a diferent label. Would this be considered fair use? or THEFT! you decide.
My only point is that for the vast aray of non techie americans, the X-box will probly perform all the functions they ask for. No, it's not upgradeable (ya right, like the i-opener? heheheh)but it's cheep. gets old? buy a new one v2.0, with MPEG-bazilion and the ablility to pick up the kids from school and cook dinner. It's all about marketing, and right now MS still has more in petty cash than anyone else.
Develop away... won't do you any good. with MS's entry into the console market, esentialy a PROGRAMABLE console, they can offer firmware and software upgrades to enable just about any function on these things. play games, DVD, CD audio, MP3, and TIVO like functions. And they have the marketing clout behind them. With the pretense of a "gaming" console, MS is puting a box in every house that can compeete with any of these products.
But most education and media institutions still refuse to take this new form of culture seriously, dismissing videogamers as either a trifling teen entertainment, or a corrosive influence on young minds.
Ya, but havent they been saying this since the 70's when stand up consoles (pong, asteroids...)strted appearing? all of the arguments, good and bad, seem to just be rehashing old ground from days gone by. Were just not poping our milk money into machines anymore. If your woried about a corrosive influence on young minds, it helps to pay attentin to what your kids are doing for a change.
OKiedoke, but this would involve converting 250+ servers and databases. can we say political suicide? We just signed (Not me, someone else..)an enterprise level agreement with $MS, so were stuck.
ahem, in response to all the WINS answers, we HAVE wins enabled, But the wins setup is not allowing us to browse the network. We can find any computer by name, (I.E.: running \\computername or using "find computer")but we can't open "Network Neiborhood" and see computers on other subnets. A wins server on other subnets is unable to push/pull with the primary wins server.
Understood, but Gore is still taking the credit for creating the internet. Didn't the internet exsist before Gore had anything to do with it? Yes it was military and school based, but it exsisted. I would agree if he had said something like "I helped take the initiative in opening the internet to the public..." but saying he created it is a little (lot) over blown. I'm shure he didn't do it alone either, someone had to vote on something somewhere.
Well, they did go over a lot of 10' pole issues (abortion, ect..) and being that for the first hour, all Gore was doing was agreeing with Bush, I would have expected some sort of comment. The fact it was a rebutal never stoped him from chiming in before.
"Great, let's teach Christianity to everyone because we know it makes them a more caring, less psycho-killer person."
Well, besides the fact that is actualy dose, why do you assume he is talking only about Christianity? I am a devout heritic non-believer myself, but I can't fault him for promoting other solutions instead of regulation of the internet.
"most everything, has millions of people who will twist his words to find some meaning out of them that fits their personal idealism. "
Oh ya, speaking of twisting words, the actual quote was: "have their heart turned dark as a result of the Internet" sounds like he was blaming content more than the concept.
During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet OK, let's break this down.

5) Who would Carnivore Really Affect?
by drenehtsral
In the end a system like carnivore will only work for a while, and only against fairly unintelligent users because end-to-end strong encryption is no longer compuationally infeasable. Joe Schmoe with the middle of the road prebuilt gateway could easily handle the processor load of encrypting all his e-mail with 2048 bit RSA (which is now freely available, and even exportable). Not only that, but even with existing (and reasonably near-term) quantum computers, we are not even near enough qbits to start tackling these cyphers, since they can't be broken down when being fed to a quantum computer.
So in short, is this whole thing just a moot point? Who would Carnivore really catch?
Perritt:
Any electronic eavesdropping technique or system is subject to frustration by new technologies. It is appropriate for law enforcement and national security agencies constantly to be developing new technology to keep pace with technological developments generally.
So far as I can see, he has not realy answerd anything.... my confedence in all this is still in the toilet.
that Bush's coment was a short scare tactic, and he never actualy said the internet was responsible for killing anyone. Instead he was trying to make the point that parents need to take more responsibility for the upbringing of their children. People are scared of what they don't know, and just 'cause the nutballs in Columbine were on the internet, they imidiately attach that to the kids behavior while searching for the "real" cause, instead of asking where the parents were. The trend nowadays is away from personal reponsibility and the internet is a perfect target. Back to the original point, while he did mention the internet, he placed far more emphasis on the role parents need to take. Gore, of course, had no response.
NASA made headlines in June when photographs from the Mars Global Surveyor, a satellite orbiting the planet, showed scores of gullies, channels and deltas on the sides of numerous Martian craters.
I don't think they were attempting to say that all the chanels on Mars were formed by carbon dioxide, just the ones on the sides of the craters. The major gullies on the surface may still have been from water at some point in the far past.
That's because it's NOT a freindly pet, it's a robot. Anyone who spends $2500 on something, is NOT buying a cute widdle puppy. Besides, a response to one of my posts tells me that officialy, this model is designed after a baby lion, not so much a dog.
The "AIBO" ERS-210 has 20 degrees of freedom, giving it realistic movement, allowing AIBO to flap it's ears, wag it's tail and make cute and energetic gestures.
I'll be shure to keep my leg at a 10 degree angle or less......
is it just me, or dose this generation look more like a cat? Anyone know if they tweeked the programing at all? There was a story from the robot games recently, featuring Abido, that stated they moved much better if you scrubed and re-did their programing from the ground up.
Bush was using the "Dark heart" coment as a scare tactic, to make a point, But he never actualy balmed the internet for the increase in violence in our culture. Instead he imidiately turned around and stressed that we need parents to be (rightly so..) more responsible in the upbringing of their kids. Some parents are, some are not. Gore didn't adress the issue, but just agreed in some vauge fasion. Taking his stance on the enviorment (cars are the greatest threat humanity and the enviorment have seen ect ect...)and the wishy washy government-should-fix-everything-for-you attitude, I can guess where he realy stands.

remove the hubs and go to swiches, should cut down on broadcast trafic, and increase your speed.

"Al Gore never claimed to invent the Internet. That story was started by none other then Declan McCallugh
So that video clip I saw of him SAYING he invented the internet was just CGI?? prehaps a clone? His evil twin?
