Their US URL is www.crumplerusa.com and they can be found for purchase on eBags. They are great bags. I have traveled numerous times in airports, cars, etc with the Farmer's Double with my laptop and my Nikon N70, plus I carry it every day to work, and I have not had a problem yet.
No, the phone companies can still offer the service, since it is not to their disadvantage. If I understand correctly, this law only applies to technologies that would block information from the ISPs / Telcos / other corporations with lots of lobbyists living in Lansing. With Caller-ID blocking, the phone companies still know the origin and destination, so they aren't missing out on charging everyone lots of extra money.
In a perfect world DN3D would be ported to Linux. On the other hand, I would just love to see the sound and network support function properly on any operating system > Windows 98. I have 2 Pentium class machines sitting around with Windows 98 for the express purpose of playing multi-player Duke3d. I would love to be able to use Kali and DN3D in Windows XP to play internet games.
The question is, will the process of disabling the anti-overlocking measures be considered a violation of the DMCA (breaking encryption, or some loophole thereof). Well, like everyone else is saying, as long as AMD doesn't follow the same path, we have nothing to worry about.
Granted, you can go on KaZaA and search through 4 petabytes of data fairly quickly, but keep in mind, a large portion of that data is redundant, and the data is not what you are searching. In the situation of TIA, the software would have to analyze every portion of the 150 tb of data to perform a search, whereas KaZaA has a set of meta information for each file. For example, for a 1 GB copy of the Matrix (not that anyone would have an illegal copy of a movie on KaZaA), there is probably 1 kb at most of data to search.
If Fluorinert were used as the coolant rather than water, it would minimize the risk of major damage being done to at least some of the components (though I still can't imagine an LCD screen would like getting wet). I believe it would also answer the question of the freezing point, as I believe the freeze point for fluorinert is somewhere substantially below 0 degree Celcius.
Now we just need some giant E-scissors to cut some of those lines. I wonder if that map would allow a person / group to take some sort of preventitive action against the spammers (aside from avoiding subscribing to the names on the map)
The question is, is it illegal, or just breach of contract? The cable modem industry is, as of yet, unregulated to my knowledge. The end user signs a service contract dictacting the bandwidth provides and terms of use. Should it not be the responsibility of the provider to monitor that contract, and take any action they have within their private jurisdiction to prevent this?
Also, where the $250,000 term come from? You would have to download a lot of stuff at really high speed to run up a bill that big.
The code generating the countdown uses a Javascript function to get the current time from your computer, then calculates the difference. If your computer data were off by a year but the correct date, the result would be the extra 356 days.:)
Every time I download a big movie or file from a fast server, I cause degredation to my connection, and so my computer system. How does one define at what point it is intentional, and at what point serious damage is done to the system?
I wouldn't be a good/. reader if I didn't jump to correct your errors here, but being a Superman fan, I must. It was Superman III, not Superman IV, that had the banking plot, and it was Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) who thought up the plot. Lex Luthor didn't even make an appearance in the film.
"A machine that combines the features of the Xbox with UltimateTV" could mean one of two things. The way I understand it, you would have to essentially buy a new Xbox (if you already have one) when you purchase this device. Wouldn't it make more sense to provide expansion and upgrade features for the current Xbox, rather that incorporation its technology into a new device?
The post states that Microsoft will need to rewrite "all" of their code, from MSN servers to Office products, in order to take full advantage of the new security systems. While the phrase used is "to take full advantage," one still has to wonder about compatibility. Microsoft is not in the habit of rewriting every single piece of their software each time they release a new OS or Office version. With security however, the question arises as to whether using Longhorn and an older version of Office compromises security, or whether the OS will cover that. It seems like everyone will just end up having to spend a lot of money upgrading their software to get the fixes for things Microsoft (or any responsible software company) should have accounted for when writing the software originally.
As I am sure many people will post, do we really want the computer tracking everything we do and everyone we talk to? I am happy that Microsoft is aiming towards better security, but is this new method just leading towards more exploits? Also, one might wonder about compatibility issues if they are talking about redesigning all of their software in order to be more secure.
Some PDAs have already started moving towards this end. The Visor Edge and some of the other Handspring Visor products have rechargeable batteries built in. My Edge charges in the same cradle as it syncs in, making it quite convenient.
Although for those of us who have older computers that we are perfectly happy with, but which lag a little, this might be a nice solution. I have an AMD K6/2 550 which suits me perfectly for most things I do, aside from snapping, crackling and popping a bit during movie playback. I could see this card as a viable alternative to a complete system overhaul.

There is in german, though the "and" is in a different place. Pronounced in german word order, 4729 is four thousand seven hundred nine and twenty.
