3.

For four years before going to uni to get my CS degree I'd worked as database programmer for a smallish company using dBASE IV... also did alot of other programming/IT related work in my spare time. After losing that job (the firm went bust) I went to uni... the next four years at uni I learned very little new (most new stuff was formal design methods etc).
Since I finished in 98 I've not been out of work other than 2 months off after Marconi did it's thing... (those 2 months where my own choice - got 6 months pay so thought may as well enjoy it a while).
So its not so much what you know as what bit of paper you have that confirms you know what you say you know.
About the only thing that's new about this is that is in one package... I've done something similiar along time ago with an old iPAQ 3660 and a dual PCMCIA jacket with a gsm card in one slot and a 802.11b in the other.
Okay it didn't do auto handover but if I'd bothered to write a litte app to monitor the 802.11b/GSM connection status it could easily have been setup to fail over as needed...
IANAL but I do have experience from working with computer security firms and from what I've read hear coupled with the various computer misuse acts if someone wanted to give the legal system a tug Beastie Boys may well find the cost of the lawsuite would make the idea of a few downloads and the lost royalties seem like a good idea.
ANY SOFTWARE which installs without prompting you is in breach of Comp. misuse act...
If it doesnt' cost more to make the high-end one (and it obviously doesn't if they the same damn camera), why not sell it full featured for cheap, while customers flock to it for it's awsomeness among rave reviews and compeditors struggle to keep up with the feature/price level? Raise that bar and stand out that much as a company, even if your lower end model has to have a slightly higher price then you planned.
It is not the same camera. The 300D has a plastic body shell, isn't designed to be as robust as its more expensive rival the 10D.
For serious photography the heavier weight of the 10D helps avoiding camera shake (or atleast it does for most the people I know).
Also the 10D has built in PC socket (no not a PC as in computer - its a flash connector for studio flashes), I doubt the software hack magically opens up a new socket on the side of the body:>
The 10D has a higher frame rate which implies a larger buffer between the CCD and the flash memory.
Okay, the differences don't add up to $500 but the targeted markets arent the same and so the price does vary.
My film based 30 doesn't have many features above the 300v if you ignore eye control but still costs 200 more - for the features I do get and the better quality build etc I think its worth it.
So in short as the cameras are different beasts for different markets why should Canon be accused of fraud....
The original post to which this is the reply is a typical/. response - attack first then look up the facts if you can be bothered after... Sun Tzu would be proud of us all:>
To me my PC is more simple than even relatively low-end PDA's - to fit a reasonable processor, memory, graphics driver, screen, 802.11b chipset, bluetooth chips, serial, memory card support etc into that small a form factor with all the problems of power consumption, heat dispation with out using fans, rf interference between densely packed components etc makes a desktop pc look clunky by comparision....
Aren't the white plastic bits just supports for the m/board and usually slide into mounting holes on the mounting plate for the board... (Well I know what I mean, whether I can explain it is another matter:( ).
The trouble with no viri line is that when linux becomes mainstream the virus writers will switch their attentions to Linux and so we will end up with the odd outbreak especially as I imagine more than one or two home users will run as root all the time... despite all the warnings not to..
Oh goody so now the power companies will have even more control as they blat out most LF/HF wireless within a certain distance of their transmission lines (or should that be antena lines now?)...
Not to mention won't people who choose not to receive broadband via power still be able to tap into the transmission signal and so monitor other peoples traffic easier than trying to splice into the fiber backbone (oh hang on.... wonder if the gov't might not be keen for this very reason)...
This surely begs the question if NASA have as much trouble with their mainstream programs for space missions how the heck can someone expect them to reliably mine data for terrorists... I think this is probably another of Bush's slip ups - he meant to say NSA when he dictated the request but ended up saying NASA instead:)
Yep, the consumer has spoken and killed off the consumer compact film camera market but there will be a market for the high end SLR camera's until some of the issues with digital camera's are resolved - including the following:-
Shutter lag,
Resolution - digital cameras with the same image size as a 35mm are expensive, a medium format almost unaffordable and large format? forget it...
Perception in the pro world - film is still considered the best for colour and clarity etc,
Battery life, a modern digital SLR will kill a set of batteries many many times faster than a film SLR.
And no doubt a few other reasons....
(I've recently just gone back to using film as I wasn't happy with my digital but my concession to technology is doing my own developing, scanning the output and printing off just what i need burning the rest onto DVD's for achiving.)
Hmmm... what do you mean like GPS? GPS is a receiver based technology (leaving aside DGPS for now), and so is purely passive, gps boxes do not relay your position to other people unless designed to do that (such as position reporting systems in trucks or geo-fence type kits for cars etc).
So baring tempest attacks etc my GPS receiver lets one person know my position - me (unless i choose to share this information or somebody looks over my shoulder at it - but then they probably can guess where I am;>).
Okay fair enough... and given planes like the later Airbuses are based on fly-by-wire the plane already has veto over pilot actions to a certain degree...
But most hijackers won't try hacking or interfering with normal auto-pilot or fbw as does not gain them anything. Hacking this system would and there would be bugger all the pilot could do about it. As another post says corrupt the database so an airport is defined as a no-fly zone... watch what happens then.
Wonder if MS might not decide to use some of the info gathered about what is in use in the field to decide what applications to include in their compatability testing for their fixes and future releases. If they intend to use this information for this purpose and this purpose only then fair enough... otherwise the usual anti-ms bit can return...
Hm, not sure about when CVS came to life but RCS predates CVS and I'm sure someone somewhere can come up with other packages that do a similar job from before RCS...

Hm, what's prior art got to do with getting a patent and royalties from a patent these days?
Just patent the idea above and leave step 2 to some bored student... then when they make money from 2 wave your patent and get 3.

PGP was brought by Network Associates Inc. (or is it Int.?) and not CA. NAI being the same people behind McAfee.

Better than a mix of accounting and cooking unless your going for a job at Enron...
SCO seem to be saying IBM knowingly contributed code to Linux knowing it would help linux succeed over traditional Unix flavours...
So let me get this right IBM gave code from their expensive product to a free product...
Hmmm.... why???
SCO should be made to demonstrate what motivation IBM had in acting this way -- other than IBM knowing they could sell services better than OS's...
