Yeah, but the guy is so vague as to be worthless. Wow, Something's going to happen on a day with two ones and a three in the date. As the great Sollog says, even admits, himself, there are shitloads of dates with these numbers. Without specific years, the predictions are pretty much guaranteed to happen simply due to the broad scope of the predictions. If he stated on March 11, 2004, there will be a train bombing, that would be one thing, but he said that on a date with two ones and a three, something bad is going to happen.
Which is exactly why apple's going to lose. Instead of doing like MS does and licensing their DRM so that they let other people do all the sales, etc, they're holding onto their DRM tech and not letting the market develop around apple-made solutions. The end result is going to be hurtful to everyone as WMA becomes the prevalent standard and fairplay becomes an also-ran. Were apple to have opened up their markets, you would have seen more choice, and apple becoming a dominant force for years, instead of dooming themselves to becoming less relevant in the market as MS's marketing juggernaut starts licensing music stores by the dozen that use WMA-encrypted files.
Apple's dooming themselves to a death by a thousand cuts by not playing fair.
RTA. They're multiplexing; using several different channels to allow many different streams of data simultaneously. Yeah, it makes it a bit more complicated and error prone in the protocol specs, but it means a faster signal. And yes, to some degree, it will make other mobile broadband solutions obsolete, that is until they spec out the next generation of wireless to use similar methods. Remember, this is something that's going to be rolled out 10 years from now. I'm sure wifi is going to get a lot better in that time.
dude, the sound that joke made when it whizzed over your head was kinda cool. Play with eliza a bit and you will soon forehead fwap with enlightenment.
You'd be throwing away billions if you did so. The oil companies would be as relevant as ever, since they're about the only people with the infrastructure to survey, explore, mine, and refine anything of any significance. Might as well screw them a tiny bit in the process.
Throw away that 40 year old set of lights before you burn your house down. Seriously, lights nowadays are much more reliable, safer, brighter, and use less electricity.
Not to mention the fact that IE for the mac is abandonware.

I don't know if they still make them; it's been a few years since I've seen them, but acoustic couplers eventually got up to 9600 baud. Of course, they were of limited usage, mostly around for places like hotels which had digital phone systems which would fry a modem hooked up to them.
Or do what I do whenever I discover inadequate integrated peripherals. Turn them off at the bios and buy my own cards. Thus, business continues as normal. Real hard concept, isn't it?
Uh, many social gamers now go to things like LAN parties, where it's useful to not have a bigass machine to lug around. This is why SFF has gotten so big as of late. Throw a miniatx board, a couple PCI slots and an AGP slot in for audio/video, and go to town. No need to bring your 5 hard drive server into a party where you're just going to be playing a limited number of games.

Nope. The only NeXT hardware were the slabs and the cubes. There were no PPC NeXTs sold.
*Disclaimer: I am tired. It is 6:30 on a sunday morning. I have done the one task I gave myself before I allowed myself to sleep, which was to make pawgloves for my halloween costume. Thus, sanity is overrated right now.
Okay, the classic beowulf cluster is a 4x4 matrix of computers. Now, to have a beowulf of beowulfs, each of those computers on a cluster must be connected to its own 4x4 grid, so you now have a cluster of 256 computers, arranged somewhat suboptimally. Now, in order to communicate with these systems, you are going to need some library functions. Classic beowulfs work well with the industry standard pvm libraries. They can also use openmosix if the application is not natively cluster aware. As we are dealing with clusters of clusters, some applications may not function properly if they were designed to work on just a single cluster. So, most likely, we'll end up needing to use a variety of techniques to beowulf squared an application, such as combining pvm and openmosix
Also, "freedesktop.org" still sounds like they are not building tools that would really become a core part of Linux; they are mostly working on desktop related issues. For something like a user-mode VFS to catch on, the libc maintainers would have to be on board, at least providing hooks into libc.
The thing is that fd.o is about the free desktop. They don't care what OS it's implemented on. By moving the hooks to glibc, it shuts out the freebsd users, the aix users, etc.

Just tested it, both of those things are fixed.

Most likely, it'll be a scaled down version and/or the TV will have built in extras, like a PVR or ability to download web content without a computer.
It's one of via's low power chips, perfect for embedded applications. They're based on Cyrix's work, before they got eaten by AMD.
yes you still have to pay. ASF, among other components, is patent-encumbered.

The difference is that you can write to ftp sites with kde. FTP is a lot less useful when you can't write to the remote site.
