Re:PSP's Batery IS replaceable Read the specs

PSP Battery Journal

That is entirly incorrect. I own a PSP and the batteries are replaceable.
With 3 batteries it is possible to play the PSP for LONGER than the DS.
Now of course their batteris are for PSP only, you cant say pull the battery of of say, a Digital camera, but unlike my nintendo portables I CAN replace the battery.
Also unlike the offerings from nintindo they PSP uses standard interfaces. I don't have to buy headphones or memory cards, or PC link cables to interface with the PSP.
I dont think there is much to be worried about. The system the article discribes seems to be using capasitors spaning 2 chips to interconnect components on the system. One plate on each chip. The gap between the chips woudld work like a dieletric on a normal cap.
I don't think they are trying to make a small computer with bluetooth or wifi glueing components together. Cables have more bandwidth than wireless.
The security riskes for these "wireless" connections would be no more than that of a normal capacitor of the same size.
The number one feature I want in firfox is automatic referencing of source material when useing OLE.
Tha way if I see something cool I can drag it to my HTML editor of choice and cite the source of what I found in one step. The Firefox should add the proper citation when it builds the data to put in the clipbord or drag target.
This would make doing web research MUCH easier. Implementation can be done in DOM and DHTML and is not that hard to implement.
In school for a research project I implementd this feature for images as a interface hack of mozilla.
Thin Xservers would are option. There are alot of cute little thin clients that are realy running Xwindows. Also old intel boxes running linux could do the same job. X was designed to run with as client/server application from the start so this is a natural use of X.
If you are running linux or unix and have a LOT of bandwidth you may be able to get VNC to work. There was a single floppy distro that woudl run VNC. If you have bunch of outdated boxes you may get a little more use out of them before they go to surplus. I do not recomend useing windows as a backend for VNC, under M$. The vnc server has to guess about some events, so some apps just wont work under vnc.
As far as I know, if you must use windows, thin clients are probibly not the answer. Thre is talk about a windows "terminal server", but I have not seen one up and running. If it is anything like the win2k "telnet server" it's next to useless.
c is the speed of light traveling thru vacum, but light propagates at different speeds depending on the medium. Changeing the medium changes the speed of propagation and makes the light bend. The propagation of an electrical signal thru copper is indeed quite fast, a good percentage of c, but it is NOT c. This experement is a cool thing to do, but it isn't mesureing the speed of light.
LAME is released under LGPL with the folowing condition:
Link to LAME as separate library (libmp3lame.a on unix or lame_enc.dll on windows)
Fully acknowledge that you are using LAME, and give a link to our web site, www.mp3dev.org
If you make modifications to LAME, you *must* release these these modifications back to the LAME project, under the LGPL.
The Universal page says:
The Content has been encoded using software that incorporates the LAME encoder; more information about the encoder is available at http:// www.mp3dev.org. It does indeed mention LAIM but it dose not LINK to it.
Universal claims to use Blowfish to encrypt the mp3's. With the massive amount of mp3's that would need to be encoded universal must have some tool to encode and encrypt the trcks. BUT if they are using sutch a tool, they are using a program with LGPL'ed parts.
Universal claims that:
* Player and Content. The Player and Content comprise intellectual property owned by us and our licensors, and they are protected under international law, including patent, copyright and trade secret laws...,
But GNU in LGPL: Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. LAIM is LGPL, I do not see how the method of encodeing including the use of LAIM can be considerd both "INTELECUAL PROPERTY protected by Trade Secret, and Patent Laws" and "consistend with the full freedom of use specified in (LGPL)."
I make small programs to solve computing problems at a cyclotron. I could care less if some one else at some other cyclotron used my solution I would be happy. I work SOLVING PROBLEMS not to Makeing Products .
This whole argument is wether or not making a program is making a product or selling a service. From the product point of view, copying a program is stealing. If everyone were to "Steal" from someone else then programers would starve.
From a service point of view copying after the job is done has no effect. The programer was paied in full for services renderd and the client is free to copy at will. Even if everyone who could were to coppy the program the programer can still eat.
The problem is that most companies bough into the product point of view and it would be expensive for them to change perspective. There are alot of managers, lawyers, and other people involved in selling product that are needed in s service industry. This suggests that the product paradigm is less efecent. Abandoning it woud require major restructuring of a company.
There is no perfect way to stop people from copying software. Software Copywright holders need to understand that it is not human nature to respect copywright. What they are doing in not effecent and causes all sorts of problems for them. Copywright Breakers need to remember, and Children need to learn that copying software can interfear with the way many people make a living.
Why don't the record companies just sue everyone in a kind of reverse class action suit? If thousands of smokers can sue 1 company, Why can't 1 company sue thousands of copyright infrengers? That way everone can owe the record labels millions in damages. Then everyone can go bankrupt together. Afther that the CEO's of the record lables can jump ship enron style before the music industry goes out of buisness for lack of demand as all the consumers are without money.
When I went to highschool Mac was the computer of choice. Education is the only large area I can think of that Mac has a stronger following than M$ that I can think of. If PC's were to fill school with m$ products,then Mac would lose a large amount of sales. This is more of a long term investment than a punishment to m$.
I do not think that the slashdot effect will bring hobbes down. I know a few people who have massive hit counts for there boxes running the same connection. Sorry.
What annoys me more about hobbes is the daily root login attempt from hobbes that shows up on my log files.
Well as a matter of fact hobbes changed hands last semester. The layout changed when the owner changed. But the point is that hobbes, or at least the search engine was started by someone else.
Is Deckard's humanity, or lack of it, all that important. The argument I think is more important is whether or not Roy Batty is human. The film and the book discuss what it means to be human. Roy seemed to have quite human qualities. He saves Deckard's life. He seems more concerned with Priss's welfare than his own. In the movie empathy was the mark of humanity. Roy's actions, at the end of the film, suggest that he has empathy for other living things. The question we should ask is: Can a replicant be human?
I own a bunch of reagion 2 DVD's and a few reagion 1 DVD's All the coding does is make you a) get reagionless equipment or b) get a DVD player for each region you want Both are more of an anoyance than anything else. MMPA or not.

Will the DS interface my MAC, I don't think so.
They did.
Extra batteries cost about ~$50 bucks.
You just slide off the battery cover and replace the old battery with a new one nothing hard there.
And yes I am one of the lucky first 200,000 resedents of Japan with a PSP.
And Lumines is a cool game, I can see how IGN spent 5 hours straight playing it.
1) I live in Japan, and I managed to download and play HL2 via STEAM. Without STEAM I would still be waiting for HL2 to ship here.
2) I was playing HL2 this morning, no server problems noticed so far.
I saw this concept in Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Season 1 ep 1.

If the clipboard does not work on your system then it is a bug and you should report it.

LD sound is infact better thand DVD sound. This is yet another reasion LD's are more robust than DVD's
