This is utter bunkum because there are hundreds and hundreds of UK channels
They just realized that Rowling was wrong. Magic and muggle tech work very well together.;) They just enchanted a few 16Mb Flash cards to actually hold 16 Tb. They don't need a separate tuners because they have 2 really cool enchanted chips. The magic decypt any encrypt signal into a viewable channel and magically enhancing those broadcasts.
The only problem is that it requires proof of the deflowering of two virgins to buy.
The next revolution in AI will be when someone figures out how conciousness in the brain works, figure out how to imitate it on a computer, and finally use it to create a truly intelligent AI, not just a bunch of heuristic scripts.
The final revolution will be when the first self aware AI is created.
I really hope that doesn't happen soon. I don't care that AIs could take over the world. I'm thinking that humans would create human level AIs for slavery to do the one task that humans want done and try not to think about anything else. That would encourage AIs to do away with humans or atleast leave us behind and go else where. (When AIs could pick up and leave it would cause a global problem and civilation would be knocked back by a few centuries. (That's if we are lucky.)
Of course it could be worse. We be playing with "transfering" human thought to computers and some idiot does it, but the process isn't perfect and the result is an insane human in an AI form. Depending on how linked the world is, then alot of damage could be done. We really need to create some sort of civilization renewal college where all the basic tech to get back to where we currently are at is taught. Most humans don't tend to think that long term though.
Can we make it mandated that all telemarketers must have this product installed and if they don't remove a customer from there call list when asked or violate a do not call list, all the telemarkters at the company, the advertisers and the CEO of the maker of the product get shocked.
O.k. I want it hooked up to the pain centers... O.k. we can do one for the pleasure center, and they get a mental orgasm when they remove some one from their call list and if they go a month with out crossing the do not call list.
Or are you just somehow magically able to know just what each and every key combination does in a program you've never used before?
Shh, my boss thinks I do. Have no idea what most are but thank goodness its usually easy for me to find out. Though usually I don't need to learn much. Most of my support calls are for teaching ctrl-A, ctrl-Z, ctrl-X, ctrl-C, and ctrl-V to some one that already knows how to do it.;) (I know taught 'em half hour ago.)
My boss thinks that I have magic computer renewing powers as well. Just by touching a computer that we took out of service and have replaced, I'm supposedly able to instantly repair and reload it ready to be "donated" to someone the boss is sucking up to.;)
She's already starting her run to the center for her presidential bid in 2008. Hopefully most people will see right through this.
She represents the worst of the Democrats in that she doesn't have any positions that won't change based on tomorrow's opinion poll. Not only that, she repesents the "government knows better than you" wing as well.
Well, damn. It looks like I'll be going for who ever the republicans push. I actually had a hard time deciding back between Gore and Bush. You wanna know the deciding factor? Liberman's views on video game censorship. I've been happy with Bush since and really upset at the Democrats for their lawyering. This time around I stuck with Bush. Gosh, can't the Democrats push anyone with some common sense? I'm netural, but if they go towards censoring my medium of entertainment, I'm voting against you.
Who knew that the republicans where more into free speech in video games than democrats?
Only because the majority of American's don't know what the word "buoyant" means.
Hey, I don't mind you insulting those of us in the US (we generally deserve it anyways), but please leave the Candians, Mexicans, Central Americans, and the South Americans out of it.
Hash spoofing may not be usefully possible now (oh sure, you can brute force it, but by then everyone looking for the file will be long dead anyway), but in 10 years, 15 years, who knows? All Macrovision cares about is that if it becomes possible, THEY'LL be the ones doing it.
Should we warn Macrovision that the NSA with quatum computers may be very displeased. Men in black may show up at the patent office and classify something that obviously Macrovision doesn't have working otherwise the men in black would just buy it from them from their super secret classified men in black catalog.
So Nintendo won't be selling systems outside of your country anymore?
NOA will only be selling it in the US. I'd assume other countries have sex offender databases as well. Heck, I'm sure that other countries would want to provide that information to keep those individuals off networks dominated by childern. Actually, this has little to do with the hardware. I could care less about Sex Offenders buying game consoles. I just don't want them creating accounts for use on the online network that my kids may be using. I'm sure Nintendo could request the information from the government and have those individuals blocked from the server side.
Yeah, yeah, I know, dramatic license and effect. I miss Babylon 5. Wait -- they had the Minbari using melee weapons too. *Sigh*
The Minbari only had extendable sticks though. They didn't have glowing swords that could cut through blast doors. Actually, I think that I like the Minbari sticks more. Heck, Marcus easily bets Luke and Vader in coolness. Poor Marcus died saving the girls life though.
This is a great idea for Nintendo. It means that parents can let their kids play these games without worry that they would meet any one. I'd think that there should be options for discovering others in the same zipcode or region though. I never knew who had what system when I was growing up. I still don't know who owns what and I'm not going to ask. I'd like to give my kids the option of connecting to unknown kids in the same area.
I hate to say it, but they should request lists of registered sex offenders from all 50 states, and ban those individuals from creating accounts. Hey, I don't mind sex offenders living some where in my town, but I don't want to let my kids loose in a play ground where sex offenders would flock to or be tempted by.
Therefore, there should be one big huge company that always employs everybody in the labor force
I thought we didn't like communism...
Nah, this is different in communism the government owns everything including you and is responsible for trying to get everyone to live and work for it. This beast is corporatism. Corporatism is slightly different. Shareholders own different parts of the beast. Some shareholders are employees, some are managers, and some are just rich owners (hey lets be honest everyone always wants to fall into that last catergory at some point.) All shareholders have medical, education, and retirement benefits. The big difference is education will be drastically improved. There would be 2 branches of "education" basic education and research. Most of us would have not much above an elementary school education, but that would be o.k. because we'd all have excellent jobs, benefits, and toys. The only thing that would really force us to improve our education would be greed for more money to buy more toys.
It's a flawed analysis. They study implies that these people otherwise wouldn't have these days off.
Actually it's a stupid story. Why don't they write a story about lost productivity around November 15th - the start of hunting season?
Because that's a seasonal event usually that the same individuals will always take off on. That can be planned around. Of course, some one could do a study about lost productivity on Holidays in general like Labor Day, Memorial Day, and 4 of July. I don't think that it will effect the economy badly at all. I do think movie sales, merchanise, and fast food tie-ins will be making the money to off set the lost productivity out of other sectors.
I only remember Iwata saying that they would launch with the PS3 or beat it to market. Every story I've read suggests Nintendo thinks Microsoft is rushing their next console to market too early.
If the next Xbox isn't backwards compatible, it may be dead in the water shortly after PS3 and the Revolution launch. I bought a PS2 mainly for the ability to play all those FF games that came out on for the PS1. I'll be getting a Revolution mainly to play all those Gamecube games that I haven't played yet. I'd think that Gamecube customers may buy P3s just so they can also play that large selection of titles.
I have seen an increase in shoddy writing and poorly attributed quotes since the mid-1980s. Because the larger American public doesn't seem to give a rats-ass, nothing gets done.
This is a hand wringing exercise by the American press. Readership has and will continue to fall off in favor of other news outlets, robbing the public of the detail that is required to make informed political decisions.
I don't know, but that sounds sorta like a catch-22. The news media doesn't seem to be able to type up a factual artical that has been spell, fact, and grammar checked. One no is now taking the news media seriously any more.
I wander what you'd find if you compared higher quality newspapers with average newspapers how their respect differs among their readers.
I'd like to know what percentage of magazine stats are fact checked as well.
tHere wAs always supposed to be oNly Six... He said "nine" back in the eighties, because the technOlogy To make only six Films dId not Really exiSt at The time.
now the series is completed the way he originally intended.
Wait. I'm sure he, his family, or his estate is just started. I'm sure that he can get 12-15 movies out of these series easy. I'm sure that we'll be see a trilogy of the adventures of Han Solo and another trilogy of the rebillion troops. He could also random stick filler movies in there Star Wars 1.5 (What Made the lead character a jerk for Star Wars 2). And that doesn't even include remakes, expanded editions, VHS, DVDs, the BlueRay set which is slightly different from the HDVD set and then the format after them 2. I'll predict that we won't ever really see the end of Star Wars. Have we seen the end of Star Trek yet? Nope.
Actually, I think I'd rather have a Star Wars TV series similiar to B5 than more Star Wars movies.
but what could possibly be so important that your kids need 14 character passwords to protect it inside your home?
Oh, he is just protecting his porn from his kids. He most likely just issued them longer passphrases and told them to remember them. It's for the children so its ok.
Does this mean my Windows XP machine wont pause when I put in a floppy or Cdrom? Wow, sign me up.
Nope, that feature isn't scheduled until after we have 16 cores on chip, 32 Gb of RAM, 10 Terabytes of HD storage, and optical media is at 1 Terabyte per disc. They said it was a wierd hardware limit and it would require at least that much processing power for Windows XP to read a floppy or CDROM and do anything else. You don't even want to know what it will take for Longhorn to do that.

We can blame God for all kinds of things like hurricanes and Godzilla but it's a safe bet that we brought THAT scourge upon ourselves.
According to http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0196589.html
"Tomoyuki Tanaka
Godzilla creator
Tanaka created Godzilla in 1954 in an effort to illlustrate the terror Japanese felt after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki."
I never knew God liked to come down and create Japanese Monster films. The things one learns on slashdot.

Are you talking about the spyware writer, or the team at MS responsible for the registry?
Am I the only one the looked at the pictures and thought of core wars?
You are what you eat, and that includes your brain.
/. folks, to be smart just target all those modded 5 (but avoid everyone that is modded funny.)
Are they suggesting that I eat my own brain to become really smart?!?
If you decided to target us
Good, I'm safe now, the only time I'm ever modded over 2 is if its funny.
The reason we don't have systems like that is because there isn't any financial incentive to implement them.
When it costs them several hundred million in federal fines, then they will fix the problem.

May I recommend Fluorinert FC-70?
For new customers, 1 liter bottle ~ 4 lbs = $240 plus shipping. Existing customers pay $220 for 1 liter.
