CDMA is a method of transmission, GSM is not. GSM is a collection of technologies for communication, of which transmission method is one of them. If GSM decided to include CDMA into GSM it would be possible, but it would not necessarily use the same data format across those frequences, nor the same frequency band. To find out more, see the GSM Technologies page.
Betamax is to overtake VHS because it is the better technology. Doh, they just killed Betamax and VHS has the market!
CDMA vs GSM is more or less the same given that GSM is the standard technology in almost every country bar two - www.gsmworld.com has GSM coverage details.
This is where proxies come in handy. If there are 1000 people in a large corporation trying to access the web at once on such a day, then a proxy would reduce the number of duplicate requests being made to the web site involved.
At the same time maybe the HTTP procotol needs a version that is capable of UDP broadcasts in special cases?
he USA trying to push it's own agenda on the world, enforcing their laws and beliefs on other countries and cultures, makes me sick. If there is any hope for the USA or the rest of the world, America must be restrained from trying to enforce its own laws in other countries. Trade embargoes are needed against the USA for such disgusting practices.
With previous presidencies there has been the same thing happening, but never to the scale that the Bush administration is trying to go to. The best comparison I have is of a teenage brat who hassed pissed everyone off and then wonders why nobody supports him when he goes an picks on the next guy, whether or not this time he may or may not be in the right. Until the USA can start acting a team player, it is going to feel that it lacts respect - this goes to any country acting in the same manner.
There are countries around the world, that still 'interfere' with the foreign policy of other countries. But at the same the methods appear to be more to keep things calm, than to fluff everyone's feathers and to risk a bigger problem down the road. Sure Russia and Chechnia probably is just as a bad, but not everything fits into a generalisation:/
BTW In the case of the story, it would probably have been wiser for the Russians to charge these guys, if they were resident on Russian soil. It does happen in the international political arena that if a crime is judged extreme enough that criminals can be handed over to the other country. Ironically, they will probably get better treatement in a US jail that in one in Russia.
I am starting to get the feeling that Intel is trying to hack USB into a direction that it was never designed for. What we are likely to get as a result is a standard that will not be fully implemented by all manufacturers due to the growing variety of extensions. The x86 and the BIOS are already two Intel based technologies that have been hacked to bits. They work, but they are showing age and a replacement is long over-due. If Intel hasn't learnt with their chips, why should they learn with anything else?
One thing which is interesting is that T-Mobile has an address in Canada, even it does redirect to their USA web site. Maybe they have plans for north of the Border? Or maybe they just bought up the address just in case.
It would be nice to be able to buy their phone for use up here.
Reading the article gives me the feeling that the author is the sort of person who enjoys starting a flame war and sitting and watching the trolls move in. Much of what is said in the column is FUD. To quote two parts: Here's the most compelling reason to abandon Motorola's PowerPC chip: It's falling further behind in the speed race as Intel's chips leave Motorola's in the dust.
Yes, if you are going per Mhz this is true, but once again Intel is a CISC chip with plenty of legacy components and the PowerPC is a RISC chip, with plenty fewer transistors. Mhz is not an indication of work or performance. It is on the other hand a good indication of the heat that the chip will emit.
Several engineers familiar with the hardware work that goes on inside Apple wrote to say that, yes, it has quietly developed a Pentium microprocessor that could power a Mac.
It is a known fact that Apple has an internal project, known as Maklar, where MacOS X works on Intel chips. Apple is a hardware company and while plenty of R&D might be going on, only so much actually ends up as a product. It may end up being real, but any smart company has backup plans, even if they never see the light of day.
Add to all this that e-week, the same source that started this hornets nest, also mentioned that Apple is working with IBM to use the 64-bit PowerPC chip in future Macs. The truth is, Apple is likely to abandon Motorola, as Motorola is incapable of developing any chips that have a market other than embedded solutions. Motorola has really appears to be trying to get out of the desktop processor market.
These are my points of view - you are free to disagree.
Despite the foot, this is apparenytly real, as can be seen for the zoo's press release. There will be genetic tests performed to work out what happened, to quote the article:
Genetic testing will soon begin on the newly hatched sharks to demonstrate whether or not they are indeed true parthenogenetic sharks, or if another explanation is available. For example, the tests may reveal that the mother could actually be both male and female, thus capable of fertilizing its own eggs. This occurrence is common in invertebrates, such as snails, and some lower vertebrates, such as the mangrove killifish and the goby fish. Another possible explanation could be that the shark was fertilized by a male at a young age.
Looks like Crusoe could be a nice alternative if you still want to keep on using the x86 instruction set and avoid Palladium. Otherwise, its time that maybe you asked yourself how much your freedom is worth and switched to the Mac.
While it may be true that you may have developed the product in the company's time, the company can still treat the employee with some sort of consideration. If a company rewards the employee correctly, then the employee is more likely to respect the company and do better things. On the other hand if they are shafted by the company, and the employee ends up realising, then the stress of the resentment against the company will kill the person's creativity until he or she moves on. In this case giving the employee the right to be named on the patent and giving 1% gross profit of the product, is certainly something that is going to make the employee a happier person and the company will earn the employee's respect.
You're right to do that, especially with the new Blu-Ray DVD specification and Toshiba's and NEC's new blue-laser system, which hasn't been given a name yet. This is all according to an article in the New Scientist ( 2002-09-07, page 7 ).
From what I can tell the only reason DRM was introduced in the first place was because with digital copying you get a picture perfect reproduction. This means that no matter how many times you copy the video it will always be prestine. The odd thing is that your average Joe will record it for themselves and probably never buy the hardware to make a copy for a friend. On the other hand your average commercial pirate is going to pay for the technology that allows him to by pass DRM, since the whole point is about selling the copies for profit.
I wonder whether the industry would simply be better off making recorders that simply reduce the quality of the recording to VHS quality. Sure this means there isn't much point in buying a DVHS player, but given that most films that you will buy will be on DVD, is there any point anyhow?
D-Link has also been producing one, that is also MacOS X exclusive.
I would imagine the exclusiveness would be because Apple provided support for Bluetooth and saved D-Link et al. the software effort. So if we want to see these devices working on Linux and MS-Windows, then it is a matter of the relavent groups writing the necessary drivers.
With drives getting so big, I am starting to wonder whether compression is even worth the while. You could rip your CDs to disk, without any patent infringing compression techniques and save processor cycles in the process.
One market that would really appreciate these drives is home movie making. With digital video cameras becoming more affordable, and more popular, these drive will be great for storing your whole library. Especially, considering that the price of DVD burners are unnecessarily high, as is the media and add to that the lack of industry wide standards (as opposed to one company wide standards).
Why on Earth would we need to spend millions of dollars to find out how to mine the stuff when we are already producing plenty of the stuff? Every rubbish dump on earth is producing methane as a side product from the decomposing waste. Surely it would be cheaper and more ecologicaly sound to use that as a source of methane? The frozen methane is best left where it is, otherwise who knows what additional environmental issues why might face?

ResExcellence has some skins for MacOS X, and plenty of other customisations too.

There is a new version currently in Paris: http://www.blinkenlights.de/arcade/index.en.html
Blinkenlights has a version of pong that really is quite fancy, it is building sized. Though it apparenly isn't chic enough for a story.

Format the disc in FAT32 and it will work with MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

Does problematic mean "I can't get to the machine to upgrade because there's shards of disc flying at me when I go near it!"?
;)
Probably something like that. They probably require you to use the new incompatible disks to upgrade the firmware
