They are aloud to file lawsuits, they just cannot use the software if they do. All it means is that by using this software you are allowing all of your patents to be used in other open source software.
The company is not even giving upo thier patent, they could at any time stop using/distributing/deploying the software and sue to their hearts content.
Because it is a patent and not a copyright, it can be selectivly enforced and compettors not releaseing open sourced software that benifit everbody still cannot use the patent.
The current stable is 2.4.17 bigger then 2.4.10 which is bigger then 2.4.9
If you are too dumb to undstand that it is integer.interger.interger not one big long number (and where are you from that numbers can have two decimal places?) then I pity you.
In Star Treck most of that stuff is done with physical interface to the computer. With commands like, "such and such, set Tachyon emmission..." then beep beep beep, and it is done by a person. or ensign, set course blah blah blah. The whole talking computer thing is Star Treck is not as all encompassing an interface as people seam to think. All it really does is answer factual questions when people cannot be bothered to type. I think that even the view screen is handled by crew taking captain's orders.
If the speach reconignition software is truly so good you do not nead to proof read it for comma placement (or do you say comma?) then I really nead to look into it, but until it is that god (so good you know it has what you want, no proof reading) it is not a problem. Both those typos would have been caught by the spell check.
Actually treck with a c was a mispelling, not a typo.
Voice will never be more effective then a good keyboard. A good typist using a bad (QWERTY) keyboard gets 60+ WPM, try talking that fast and keeping your thoughts together, or even accuratly reading that fast. Even A modest typer can type better then speak. Imagine an office with everyon talking to their computers.
Even in star treck there was very little actual voice command, they had keyboard things all over the place. I would say most voice interaction was information lookups to the point that google will be able to do in 15 years. But for real commands and interface it will be non voice.
I actually disagree wiith your windows stuff not getting modded up. It doesn't happen as often, but a well written post that is pro windows gets points. Of course a fairly good pro linux post would get just as many (instead of redundant?)
lets see, if we take a cutting edge computer from 4 years ago as the average power of d.nets computers (a sloppy assumption), and then say only half 500 of them are working at any time (more sloppieness), that leaves us with 500 computers from 1998. missusing moore's law to say it is seed and not just transistor count (fairly effective approximation) and go 11 years from now, that is plus 4 years is 10 18 month doubles.
2^10 = 1024 times the power of a dnet computer.
that means it will take one computer 4 years to solve the RC5-64.
obviously at that point the super computers can chew right througgh it, but for even a network of desktop 10 or so desktop computers this is non trivial.
I am having luck with the other architecures section (including i486). The sights still say i586 for the folder though, so I am hoping it is that. Anyway, there are rc3 files there with the same MD5 sum as on mandrakes sight.
there would be no nead to connect me to my neignbors, you would nead to connect my cable block with the ajacent ones with a router (the cable within a cable block is shared media). This is of course done already, just at a centralized location (the cable company). There would be no benifit in routing my cable to my immediate neaghbors. As for DSL, again, if my DSL goes done, most likely other peoples in the general area have too, for a backup I would nead a secondary connection, not a split of my DSL.
No matter how many connections I have to neighbors, if MY access is down I cannot hit them, if the Gateway goes down then everyone on my network sharing that gateway is also trapped. If the backbone goes done you and you nead to get accross the country you nead direct (non internet) connections for every hop alonge the way (that is a whole lot of we are connecting to neighbors, even in a broad sense).
Super graphics card (Gforce 2 ti) 50 dollors proc upgrade to 1 Ghz Celeron 90 dollors More ram 30 dollors
total, 170 dollors, Console, still 200 dollros.
I can play everything thats out good enough, especially what I want to play (CIV3, Warcraft 3, CS, AAOP, Diablo II, Commandos II, X-com, Nesticle, Snes9x). I admit that with doom III around the corner I am pretty much at the peak of what I can play on the system, but will probably be able to play 75 - 90 percent of the games coming out for another year, and since I usually don't shop until it's in the bargin bin, thats 1 and a half or two years of gaming still.
I do have a Dreamcast I baught for 69 dollors, and a lot of games I got really cheap also, but must of my solo at home gaming is PC. I went online with the dreamcast, and the TV is just too low res to read the chat, web.
No, not everyone does, but if you are not doing 3D you do not nead to even think about this question, duh. Most cards give crisp 2D now (anecdotally from other posts I have read over the last year or so) and all have enough ram and speed to drive affordable monitors.
This is like you replying to an article comparing a TI-85 and TI-89 calculator and saying my scientific calculator works, does everyon else do graphing?
I mean the X-Box hasn't sold like they wanted it too. Ask them if your money is better spent on a PS2 then paying to repair the defective X-Box. I doubt they will charge you given that choice, or atl lieast give you a fairer price. That's how I would handle it anyway.
lets see, you want it to prove it's you, and make it free? And the test really can't be open,I mean, testing is kinda where the whole obscurity thing actually helps.
What we really nead is a good formal testing, that costs money, but without it, there is no real proof. It will cost money, it costs money to verify the conditions, but then again, even cheap college costs 240 dollors, a course, and you nead to take a lot of bullshit. If a test was 75 or 100 dollors, that would be fine.
Free and Open just really don't lend themselves to accurate testing unfortunatly.
They have not been selling it a too high a cost, they are making lots and lots of money, that is there job. Too high a cost would be when the lack of sales mean they loose money. Example: expensive stereo system, over 200% markup at the retail level, too expensive? nope, the right price, or they would only do a standard 100% markup.
if CD's were $25 each nobody would buy them, they would boot leg them instead (as I said, pallidium cannot hurt an anolog bootleg, and a damned good analog recording can be made).
The black market will correct any gross injustices in the white market, thatr is a fact. And they are currently about to cross that threshhold as is. The price will not go up much for the average person, if at all. Idealy it will stay the same, and they will make more money by capturing some loss from piracy (there is some loss, the use Napster to preview crowd can probably still get exposure from cheap streams, and the use napster to steal crowd will be thwarted.
What is the point of palladium if it allows non signed apps? I mean what trust do they gain at all of it being in the prossessor, if the prossessor will wantonly run anything anyway?
Because my fricken walkman is not broadband capable, nor is my car (though that is really changing). they won't sell only the streams at an unreasonable price (I am sure there is a fair price point there) because we have lots and lots of CDs already, if new music is priced too expensivly it won't be baught. How hard is that concept? We live ina mostly(semi?)free market, and it will adjust itself against grave injustices. Kind of like during the prohibition, people got plenty of liquor, even if it was of a slightly lower quality. If music is too expensive/pain in the ass to obtain, there will be people making recordings and selling it on CDs, even if it means putting a good mike next to a good speaker and doing it analog.
What does ebay gain by only accepting passport? why would it possibly be a good business move for them? Ebay is a fairly unsecure service (I had a four digit password with all numbers for a while), and protects nothing critical. Ebay is inharently secure, because you get eachothers addresses.
Enter pallidium. They are well aware of the inherent roblems with software playback. When the homebrew app that captures these bits is not signed, oh well for you.
why risk flashing your drive (there has to be some risk, right?) when you don't nead too. I mean, if I can be 100% sure there won't be a problem with my new drive I just baught why go with the 99.9% sure way of flashing?
correct, I don't usually fill them out either, but I would for this. Obviously when you look for a server it is gonna send out some info too, all they would nead is to include the OS in that info and then you get the accurate info you want.
why the hell would ebay require you to use pallidium? that just doesn't make sense. They would have nothing to gain. All that will really happen is you may not be able to play the next audio/video formats on your computer, and evebtually maybe no games/apps too. Really though, this is for now going to be a media protection. All you who download MP3s just to samplpe will have to pay $.10 or $.25 to stream the songs and hear them once, then make your damned desision, big deal.
And what about the apps, is photoshop 9 going to be SO much better?
I know that I would be perfectly happy if Wine did well enough that I could by a computer and run todays, apps, even probably the next generation of apps before win 2000 and XP are obsoleted enough that the apps don't nead to run on them.
I pallidium ends up being so bad and the only option what you will end up with is massive amounts of piracy, like in China now. So it must remain at a reasonable level.

At least I didn't call it star track :)
and while your correcting my punctuation and spelling do it correctly. "Star Trek" (quotes and all).

The MD5 sums of RC3 are the same as the final!
The mirrors listed under i486 are unjammed and have the i586 rc3 (actually I couldn't find the i486 stuff at all).
I am right now downloading off of cable (well probably done now). at under 2 hours a CD.
I am having luck with the other architecures section (including i486). The sights still say i586 for the folder though, so I am hoping it is that. Anyway, there are rc3 files there with the same MD5 sum as on mandrakes sight.

funny hpw sega missed the whole 3-d thing after they braught the idea to the masses (virtua series). what on earth were they thinking?
The dreamcast does have some really sweet 2-d stuff though. I am personally partial to cell shading.

hmmmmmm.

The key word being MISSING, as in not found.
