Which devices need/support/write/read FW 800? (As in, fully utilise the bandwidth). I'd be interested... Not to mention you need FIBER OPTIC wire to achieve that speed over 3 feet, which is extremely expensive. Already firewire is 30$ for a small wire.
As for HyperTransport, PCs will be using PCI-Express which can reach 32GBit and is the official standard that PCI-SIG approved. Apple once again has chosen to stick with the obsolete or "minority" technology.
You've just noticed this now? What do you think.NET is? If I remember correctly, Synapse's motto was "Any device, anywhere, any time".NET's motto is something like "Anywhere, any time, on any platform, on any device."
Then if that highly unprobable scenario turns out to be true, switch to Mac or Linux, or make your own OS or support the underground OS movement.
MS became popular because it challenged IBM's closed and proprietary ideas. MS and the creation of the first IBM clones made the PC the popular machine it is today, outpacing Apple by 80% of market share.
If MS decides to make the same mistake IBM did, then someone else, a new Bill Gates, will come up with another, brand-new, computing platform that will be open.
No, as a matter of fact, that's not what trusted means.
Paladdium is designed to give programmers and users a medium of trust between the software, hardware and computer data.
As a programmer, you dictate who, or what, is capable of disassembling, reverse-engeneering or modifying your code, or even running it. As a user, you choose to allow what kinds of actions the program can do on your computer (read files, delete files, write files, etc.)
Microsoft will of course sign their programs. As such, you will not be able to crack WPA anymore. However, the author of Kazaa Lite will ALSO be able to sign his executable, making it impossible to be modified by the **AA. Furthermore, Paladdium could be applied to the whole network, choosing what kind of uses to "trust" (for example, Microsoft's Source Code Site looks for a smart card in your reader and then asks the passwod).
There is nowhere in this system where Microsoft has to sign anything. The only thing that could be kept private is the mechanism to read and sign keys as an OS and as a compiler.
I don't think it will happen, and if it does, XBOX-style exploits will appear (I'm not talking about modchips, I'm taling about the newly discovered savegame bug)
Where do you get the idea that MS has to "Sign" trusted software? It's up to the user to decide what rights an application will have. Stop spreading FUD.
I'm not Korean but I have many friends that are...and whenever I had to signup for as little as gaming sites to play online games with them, I was always required to input a "Korean Registration Number", which is basically a citizen ID. Even if I had nicknames, they could always trace it back to the ID. However, the ID mechanism is pretty well known, and I was able to create a random generator, which is why I guess they now want real names.
Have you actually looked at the screenshots? It looks nothing like fvwm-95. Yes, perhaps the window manager is similar, but their goal is to re-create the whole shell apps, icons, and functionality of Windows, not simply display Windows-looking titlebars.
Stop bashing because of Bullshit!

I think its about time someone points out that this article, or whoever those "testers" are, are full of sh*t, or have serious problems using a computer.
Saving in XML format keeps 99% of all the formatting in a.DOC document. I saved a 20-page research with all kinds of pictures (stretched/cropped etc) and using bullets, italics, bold text, different sizes and fonts. I re-opened the document with Word, and it looked just like its.DOC counterpart.
*FURTHERMORE*, Microsoft has even added an option called "Data Only", which will save only the Data itself in the XML file (-as the format was MADE FOR-). You can then choose to append an XSL file for the format.
MS pleases both sides, both the strict-XML-Data-Only group, as well as the maximum-openness group, and yet over 550 post are complaing about an article with no substance. I don't love MS, but don't bash them for something they've done right.
The XML saving feature in Word is flawless and semes to be standard-compliant. Any XML reader should be able to display the document properly, under any OS.
I don't know if you are trolling but get some facts straight: Terminal Services in XP is not on by default, the service you speak of is ther for compatibility and other internal functions to work. It doesn't allow ANYONE to remotely admin your XP computer. Firewall is enabled by default, at least when I install it, and file sharing is disabled by default, you have to share your files/folders yourself. Guest account is off by default as well. XP isn't as insecure as you think. As long as you made a strong admin password for both the Administrator account and yourself, there is no real easy way to remotely crack into the system, unless you use a really old version of Outlook and never let automatic patching run. I mean, the damn thing even makes a seaparate account for the main user, unlike other Windows versions where you always logged in as Admin(root) by default. And it also lets you run applications in guest mode. Besides, if someone has physical access to your machine, it isn't hiding the last user name or encrypting the temp folder that's going to help.
I don't know if you've actually USED XBMP but it can do the exact same thing, stream media files over your network from any computer. It also doesn't need a separate broadband adapter as the XBOX has it built-in. Besides, I'm pretty sure it doesn't support that many formats or features (Post-processing, strechting, zooming, etc)
Not 100% dumbass. They plan to sell a hardware video-in adapter for under 100$. Therefore, to get the Media Hub working, you'd need to buy that, and the company will profit. Besides, open-source doesn't mean free. They could decide to charge for the software, and make more profit.
Yes it's true, it's not bullshit. The XBOX Hard drives don't have any "special chip". They just have different partitioning and use an HDD Key. As long as you have a modchip (which you probably do, if you want to run Dreamix, you can easily install your 120GB drive, format it to FATX, write the key to it, and reboot the XBOX. All new modchips support this.
I think you mean 60MB/s (MegaBYTES per second, roughly ATA-66) and nor 60Mbps (MegaBITS per second, rougly 8MB/s, which is something like first-generation IDE drives). 178MBps would mean about 22MB/s, fast enough for any computer with as little as ATA-33 support.
It's lbTitle, for "Label Title", a place-holder they probably put on the first beta builds of their Window Manager before being able to show the title.
A lot of people are complaning about the links. First of all, NONE of the links contain the game itself, except the second site, whose links have been taken down, and I triple-checked before posting, I'm not stupid. Nowhere does it say I've even downloaded the game, and the truth is I haven't, simply beacause I heard the shitty FPS. There's nothing illegal about posting a link to a screenshot or cvar list, AFAIK, many big fan sites have done the same.
You can get the Microsoft Virtual Desktops for Windows XP right here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/In stall/2/WXP/EN-US/DeskmanPowertoySetup.exe
Actually, the screenshots are 100% real. There was even a 6-minute long movie made of the OS with HyperCapture. Don't tell me someone spent time faking that. And yes, betas can expire after a year, but this is an alpha, and since the whole program will last till 2004/2005, it's very normal for such a high expiration date. Alphas sometimes don't even have one. As for MSN 5.0, that's simply the person who had the leaked version that decided to install it, it's not part of the OS. Trust me, these are real.
He said 100Kbits, which translates into roughly 12.5KB/s, well within the GPRS standard which allows up to 384Kbits, or 144...I'm not sure.
With compression though, you can reach around 100Kbits on a 56Kbit GPRS-modem, which is what we have in Canada on the FIDO network. Nothing spectacular.

Who buys Matrix anyways? It's such a piece of ****. Get an Xecutor2 Pro, or Lite, with the pogopin adapter, if you don't wanna solder.

Hillary Rosen is a woman...
Nevermind, got mixed up with the first key that had leaked.
Actually, the Private Key they are trying to crack is a "simple" 64-bit RC4 key.

Actually, AMD agreed, and co-developped Paladdium long before Intel.
