So by this logic I should throw out all my classic movies that I'm not currently watching?:\
If the movie projector has been in a closet for years, then you might want to think about it. OP said the stuff was in a closet..which means it isn't being used.
I was going to mod this discussion, dammit. You call yourself a nerd? "Buy a copy?" WTF, son? It's online!
Turn in your geek card. Since I posted in this thread, someone please mod the parent... well, there's no moderation for "fucking stupid" or even possibly "shilling for a corporation that wants your money". Overrated will have to do.
Nail on the head there, mr. coward. This shouldn't go anywhere, and would be easily defeated in court should it get granted. The likes of JEIDA for example released EXIF in 1995 that does what? Allows a user to add "tags" aka metadata to digital media.... I'm sure there's even older examples of prior art on this, that was just an easy one to find.
Other systems at the time were updated by sticking a floppy in the drive and either booting directly from the new disk, or copying files to your hard drive (if you had one). Some users were comfortable replacing the chip themselves but many ended up having to go pay a computer shop to do the upgrade for them.
Amiga's had some features that were totally ahead of their time, but imo this is more of a design flaw than a feature to be reincarnated in new systems. Commodore apparently recognized this as well, since they created the ability to use disk based kickstart on the 3000.
It was a total pain in the ass. You had to replace a chip in the Amiga to upgrade your OS. Not something I relish the idea of returning to anytime soon.
Depends on what you mean by bad. Colloidal silver is considered a "health drink" by some, however, imbibing too much or taking it too frequently causes your skin to turn a very noticeable grey. It is called argyria.
That sounds awesome, I'll have to look up where to get some!
Blocked and reported to FB. 10 minutes later her profile is completely gone and her name is no longer searchable
That's unbelievably fast. My daughter signed up (twice) before she turned 13, and each time I reported it it took Facebook over a week to delete the account.
Yep, I remember similar performance from ymodem-g and zmodem. I often wondered why the bbs software I ran at the time (celerity) even supported kermit. I don't recall ymodem1K, though...
I don't see how this would have any effect on the "identification" of a dope farm. If you're using a lot of electricity (more than the norm) then they already know it since they're billing you for the juice. If they know the time of day that you're using the juice, how does that help nail down whether or not you're a grower?
The only thing I can immediately think of this being useful for is to develop a profile of times when you are not home for potential burglary.
Slashdot Mirror
My guess is it will, unless there's some big flaw found in graphene. Why wouldn't it?
You guys watch too many movies...
In my town they already give every high school student a kindle. They could upgrade to a netbook for future classes and problem solved.
As Bitcoin gets more attention
That seems unlikely.. outside of the bitcoin forums and slashdot.

"Buy a copy" my ass. Now get off my lawn!
MrEricSir's sig. Clearly he can see the future.
The movie industry would never allow the use of p2p because p2p is evil.

That's because shiny is much more important than secure. Learn to live in the parameters of reality, and improve upon weaknesses when possible.

I can't put my finger on it, but this all seems very, very familiar, as if this cyclical expansion of government has been repeating for 200 years.
I think it's more like repeating as long as humanity has existed.
They do. http://www.pokerstars.com/ Here's an example. There's an ad for the FBI :)

You're old fashioned.
It's a great way to quickly test ideas like this.

In fact, short of carrier pigeons it's probably one of the most painstaking methods I've heard of to send a message.
Is today backwards day? In other news, satan showed up and solved world hunger.
What would the credit ratings agencies suggest? Don't do business with companies who are likely to lose your data, I would imagine.
These days, that's pretty much every company in existence unless maybe there's an Amish company out there somewhere that doesn't use computers.

Ahh the good 'ol days.
It's already been established.
