Can we start splicing chromosomes with humans please? I want my catgirl, dammit. What use is bringing food to the masses when I don't have my fucking catgirl?
Take a look at technologies like AMD's Pacifica, which provide a lot of the resource protections you're describing; future iterations are supposed to provide the iommu capabilities to allow for pure virtualization of even tasks like DMA. While right now there are some risks from buggy drivers killing both sides of the system, these risks can be mitigated through studious use of features like W^X locking and watchdog timers to ensure that vital executables can't be overwritten. Many of these expensive server technologies are commodity level products these days; tivoization is pretty much as easy as ever.
By putting all the restricted software elsewhere. The easiest way to do it would be as such:
Linux---UDP SOCKET---Nonfree Controller atop of Hypervisor running NetBSD/xen or otherwise
All the linux side is doing is slurping encrypted data from a network socket, and storing it, and replaying that data. All the Linux kernel would be concerned about, or able to see, is that it's running on some xen box due to the hypervisor. All the nonfree kernel needs to do is take data from the encoder/decoder, encrypt/decrypt it, pass it on; it doesn't need disk controllers or any other real tricky parts. Neither side is fully aware of the other's existence, all they're doing is passing network traffic back and forth. Regardless of what updates you do to the GPL side, the DRM side invisible and protected unless there's some flaw found in the underlying hypervisor.
In such a system, the GPL 3 is followed to the letter. You've got a fully open source operating system running in a virtual machine. Anti circumvention methods are neither needed, nor particularly useful. If someone wants to write their own frontend and storage controller, they're more than welcome to do so. All the interesting bits are safely on a flash chip elsewhere, free from prying eyes.
and have to show an ID when boarding a plane (state issued DL or passport or military ID)
Untrue. You can, right now, go to any airport in the country, and fly without a state issued DL, passport, or Military ID. The only additional things they do is they swab your bags for explosives and pat you down if you don't fly with ID. I just did it last week, added maybe 5 minutes to check-in time.
Thirty seconds of bliss? Hon, you and your wife need to have a good talk, because if you're only getting 30 seconds of pleasure, you're doing something wrong. I recommend going to your local erotic shop, picking up some toys, like a riding crop, maybe some handcuffs, etc. You should be feeling good for hours, if not days.
I'm not saying it's worthless for everyone, just for me. Additionally, I have better things to do with my time than sit around waiting for a silly phone to be released, like have sex with my boyfriend. You may come to the conclusion that an iPhone is better than an orgasm, in which case, more power to you. And I'll awaken saturday with certain urges temporarily sated, with my trusty cell phone that doubles as a data modem close at hand. Have fun browsing the web on a 3.5" screen.
I mean sell the phone at the apple stores with out any service whatsoever, like you can with Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, etc, phones. I'm criticizing apple for not having the balls to do something different with the iPhone.
The featureset is not a horribly radical thing. I can get phones right now with all the features I listed today for a cheaper price than the iPhone, including things like VOIP, plus have more choice of service.
I will agree, I dislike this phone. It could have been a great phone, however, apple spoiled it for me and a lot of other people through downright silly moves.
And one more thing. It was a fox in the fables, not a wolf.
Depends. Those of us who actually like their phones to be useful are criticizing the phone on the conspicuous absence of features. It's 2007, why doesn't the iPhone have features like VOIP, MMS, real 3rd party application support, etc? Seems to me that Apple sold their soul to get the iphone in, to the detriment of the end user. Apple would have been better off going on their own; perhaps then, they could have had a real chance of going somewhere with their phone.
More of the same. The more I hear about the iPhone, the more I realize it's completely useless for my purposes. No real expandability, no real messaging applications, no real improvement from even phones such as the sidekick. Add a lack of ability to serve as a data modem and being tied to a crappy provider, and I would have to say no thanks.
I sure as fuck expect my provider to offer such things. I mean, the phone company offers damn near 100% uptime; if I don't get a dial tone, I am finding a phone and calling the operator to ask what the hell is up. This includes with doing things like having the phone connected 24/7, etc. Why should an internet connection be any different?
I hate responding to humor-impared people ruining perfectly good jokes, but I live in LA, which gets a decent amount of water from great basin watersheds which do in fact have species of fucking fishes that live in them.
Again, you are missing the point. Herbal remedies have not been scientifically tested. We don't know which of these remedies are good, which are bad for you, etc. Side effects don't need labelled, in short, we don't know which remedies are worth truly exploring. Classifying them as drugs just means that the same testing and quality assurance guarantees that exist for pharmaceuticals exist for herbal medicines. You want equality, but you're not going to get it by keeping herbs untested and unproven.
What browser are you using? If you're using some outmoded browser, then of course you're not going to see any difference in your browsing; the innovation comes from sites that are actually using fairly recent standards. You're not going to find too many sites coding for lynx these days; the market is just too tiny.
Well, git is old fashioned and a lot of people consider it deprecated. But, if you want, you can get the kernel from git.kernel.org via git. What's your next question?
Yeah, version one of this technology sucks. But just wait until version two comes out and brings a whole new meaning to the term phone sex.
(Yes, I know what day this is;3)
The AppleTV's been out for 1 day, obviously the hacks at this point are at the quick and dirty level. If you fully RTFA, you'll learn that they're working on ways to streamline the process, and should have something a lot nicer soon.
I'd say the big advantage this has is multiple computer syncing. My roommates and I can all stream content to it without any problem, which is something the iPod can't do easily, especially given that we have media collections that are in the hundreds of gigabytes.
Why would you need Linux? The thing already runs BSD, Apple has even said so. I'm just waiting to see how long until someone gets a browser running on it.
You do realize that the Apple TV can stream from windows too, right? And that some of us have multiple computers with content on them, right? Will the 360 let me stream stuff from my computer and my neighbor's computer?
You know, you can disagree with a law, but agree with the few provisions in the law that actually make sense -- right of response, no yo-yo wars, etc. She was well within her right to file a counterclaim; the DMCA allows that in the case of legitimate ownership disputes. The NFL was in the wrong when they, in either bad faith or through a lack of due dilligence, filed a second takedown notice on the piece. Either situation, the judge is not going to look too fondly on the NFL's legal department. Furthermore, she broke no law; commentary on a portion of a work is well-protected under copyright law.
Would you feel better if they would have done like most people who try to find security holes and simply sold that info to the highest bidder? Least with reasonable disclosure, you have some chance of trying to mitigate the problem through security policy.

Hey, it's a step up from my ex. You don't even want me to go there...

I don't have a copy of excel in front of me, but what happens when you try (8500 * 1.000) * 7.71?

So lemme guess, you don't drink water either, right? I mean after all, fish fuck in that stuff.
