Thanks So you can tell that if the field is at 65% that it has been written as a 1 4 times and as a 0 3 times? How do you tell the order and timescale of the writes?
How do you get the super sensitive read heads to the hard drive. I thought platters were sensitive and fragile that just by opening the case you risk destroying the data. I remember seeing in a textbook the relative size of a spec of dust to the distance the head floats from the surface. Sure you can open them in a clean room, keep clear of all magnetic fields, but I'm amazed they can line up a new set of read heads and accurately get the data off. What about LBA? Arn't all drives blocks arranged differently?
What about people on dial-up? That {often longer than 9 digits!!} ip address could be changing hands every couple of minutes. Can the riaa and the isps keep track of them over such short time frames?
"We're requesting the identity of the person using 65.43.124.25 between 19:48:03 03/04/03 and 7:49:35 03/04/03 as they were sharing 2348 illegal files on Kazaa causing damages in the amount of $352,200,000"
Said person was actually just checking their email kazaa signed them in automatically.
This microscopic magnetic field is now a 1, but it was a 0 last week and a 1 two weeks before that. Six weeks ago it was a 1 and made up 1 bit of a 200k pornographic image. With this evidence I can sentance you to prison for 8 years.
Sure you can tell what the state of the disk is now, and deleted files are still there until they are overwritten. As soon as some new data is put it its place there is no evidence of what it used to contain.
Compaq introduced their Tablet PC in November 2002. The keyboard is completely detachable. I expect they changed it so that people didn't first go looking for their keyboard and re-attach it to the PC before looking for the "any" key on that.
"It keeps telling me to press the any key, but I left the keyboard at the office, what can I do?"
9x etc wasn't designed with security in mind but NT was. There is no reason that an NT machine couldn't be just as secure as a UNIX, if not more so. It's just that no one sets up all the ACLs that way be default because of usability concerns. The Security model is there and is comprehensive, it is just not applied very often. There are a lot of applications designed with the 9x system in mind, that will not function on NT unless they have Administrator rights, but hopefully these will decrease in future, or Win32 apps will be sandboxed as people progress to a newer API.
I really wonder that people still believe this stuff. It may have been true in the '50s but it certainly isn't true anymore.
I don't believe that an honest and hard working person can become a multimillionaire.
Yes, maybe people who found multinational companies deserve more than what they actually put in in labour, but a lot of people who are CEOs are not founders. How many people are CEOs because they went to business school and managed to bullshit and pass-the-buck, their way to the top? Do they deserve $1m bonuses because they work harder than everyone else? Because they have more responsibility than everyone else? Neither is true. A CEO can run the company into the ground and still make sure their own pension is safe and they leave with a multimillion "golden parachute" of severence pay.
The US indoctrinates everyone with this attitude that anyone can make it. Nobody realises that it is only at the expense of someone else. Work hard, go to college, get a job, buy a house, a car. Your still just a wage slave like everyone else.
So Bill Gates manages to sell someone elses quick and dirty OS to IBM and eveyone else. Does that make him deserve to be the richest man in the world? Just coz he was in the right place at the right time with the right connections? It's not like he started from nothing anyway. Why does he have a much bigger share in MS than Paul Allen? Coz his parents were richer.
Don't we live in the best country in the world. The only place where people have the freedom to screw everyone over on their way to the top. Where only the rich can afford medical care or a decent education. Where the government solution is less funding and more "Compassion" and "Faith Based volutary groups". Sure I wouldn't have it any other way.
Thats not true. I have used the MS mouse with my Tecom BT3030 Dongle and Widcomm stack 1.4.1 You don't need to actually pair the devices to get it to work. Just set it to discoverable and connect to the HID service from the pc.
As far as long messages with the T68i are concerned there is an attachable keyboard called the Chatboard CHA-10. http://www.expansys.com/morepics.asp?code =100742
Or use software such as Floats Mobile Agent which works with both the MS bluetooth stack and others via virtual serial ports. http://sourceforge.net/projects/fma/
This is a very important issue. I am glad to see someone willing to take it as far as possible.
When you buy a track with DRM what are you paying for?
iTMS gives you The right to authorize playback on up to 3 Macs The right to burn the music to standard audio CD The right to copy the music to an authorized playback device (iPod)
Microsoft DRM thas a set of varying rights provided by the retailer.
x Number of playbacks on this pc x Number of CD Burns Ability to back up licence or not Track playable for x amount of time Can copy to DRM capable playback device or not.
At the most restrictive you could have a track that is only playable a single time on a single device and not transferable. MS just designed the system, so they claim that any rights you have are just between you and the retailer.
So with the iTunes system, you can authorise a Mac and deautorise it if you want to sell the computer. What happens if the hard disc crashes, or a powerbook gets stolen? You loose one of those autorizations. If that happens 3 times, you loose the right to play back the music you paid for forever? Ok so you can have backed it up to an audio cd, can you then rip the CD back onto a mac as an unprotected AAC, or is that in breach of the copyright?
If companies want to sell you something intangible that you have no right to copy or resell then they should have to provide you with a duplicate download forever. If you are only paying for a license then at least that license should last forever.
I remember watching a kids TV program where they had a record executive answering questions. One question the kids asked was "Why are CDs so expensive when they only cost £1 to produce?"
Of course the executive went on about artist development, recording studios, marketing, etc. So when you buy a CD you are paying for more than just a piece of plastic, you are paying for the money spent on the creation of the track and its presentation.
So what happens if your CD gets scratched? Are you expected to pay full price again? For the right to go on listening to stuff you already paid for the development of? There used to be a fair use right to make a backup, but these new copy protected CDs have put a stop to that. You should be able to buy replacement media for no more than the cost of production + delivery.
When CDs were first sold they were presented as everlasting digital perfection. A lot of people bought CDs of records they already had on Vinyl to preserve their music collections forever. Its become clear that CDs are far from indestructable. Also the industry is trying to get people to upgrade again to DVD-Audio and SACD.
If I want to buy a SACD of a track that I bought on CD should I have to pay for the artistic development and recording studio time again? Or just the media + packaging and possibly remastering?
All this needs to be resolved and soon. Before the matter replicators arrive. You downloaded the pattern for a loaf of bread? You are only allowed to make one loaf and not keep a backup of the pattern. Any further copies of the bread require payment to the Grain Industry Association of America.
I think that was MP3.com You could put your disc in your drive and send off the identification codes. Then they let you download the MP3s. I think the RIAA said it was illeagal because MP3.com was storing a huge library of MP3 tracks that they had not purchased themselves.
An update you can only get if you are a hardware manufacturer or you bought an MS Bluetooth Keyboard or mouse.
Even if you get it its not a very good implementation. No PAN support, no virtual serial ports, no FTP Profile, OBEX Synchronisation, Headset Audio etc.
The update seems to be an SP2 thing, but that has been delayed now. They could a least make a version of activesync that uses their bluetooth sockets when working with PocketPC 2003 which has bluetooth built in.
It will probably not be until longhorn that they support bluetooth properly.
Slashdot Mirror
It said somewhere that it would be Richard E Grant.
I think that was the marketing department at the Sirius Cybernetics Corperation.
"A mindless bunch of jerks...
Your plastic pal who's fun to be with.
Well they said their recreated file system actually gave better performance than the real thing. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Thanks

Should have been

Can someone explain how that might work?

AFAIK
Or English either it seems
Yeah your right
Guess I shouldn't try to correct people when I don't know and maths
That wasn't me, and yeah I messed it up as well. It was should have been 2.4 Ghz not 2.4 Mhz
It's interesting that they are going to call it
Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP 64-Bit Edition For 64-Bit Extended Systems
rather than AMD64 systems or x86-64 systems. Perhaps it does contain something Intel specific as well.
Is this a joke?
The speed of the signal is the speed of light.
The frequency of the signal is 2.4GHz
The distance the signal was received at was 110Km
The wavelength was 299 792 458/2 400 000
= 124.913524m
I take it you never did any physics then
Mr Amalfi we are ready for takeoff
Spin-Up!
Lets move this city to India, I hear theres pleny of work going there.
Oh I'm getting dizzy
Confused?

No, the t68i does not support the HID profile.
Whats this "paired via hardware" business. AFAIK you pair via software with the MS keyboard as well. I'm only using the MS Mouse.
It would have been good if apple had built the Bluetooth stack into the firmware for configuration.
If everyone is out walking, why don't they take their dog with them?

This deserves to be modded up
incontinence smokers
Yes thats the problem. They didn't want too many people waiting in line for the rest room because there was someone smoking in there.
Who caused people to be fed up with forever having to upgrade their software?
An update you can only get if you are a hardware manufacturer or you bought an MS Bluetooth Keyboard or mouse.
Even if you get it its not a very good implementation. No PAN support, no virtual serial ports, no FTP Profile, OBEX Synchronisation, Headset Audio etc.
