How is this article the least bit interesting. Everyone who does not live in a cave knows about the Microsoft trial, and the link goes to a 1/2 page story with almost no information. There's really nothing to *discuss* in this story.
I'm starting to think the/. crew is intentionally posting lame stories to keep the trolls amused.
I will probably get flamed for saying this, but I fail to see how reverse engineering a company's product will "increasing the capital value of the product" Digital Convergance gives away their hardware on the premise that the user will use the product in the manner it was intended. Their only profit comes from selling targeted ad data. By reverse engineering the:CueCat you are effectively robbing DC of their only source of revenue. How does this help the company?
"Boo really screwed up, they burned through something like $200 million dollars before they even went live, then sold something like $1-$2 million in merchandise. Not a good business plan."
Does anyone know if the 760MP chipset is scalable to over two processors. A large portion of the high-end server market focuses on 4, 8, or 16 way boxes.
1. Build your own PC and put whatever OS you want on it.
2. Purchase a computer from a reputable local shop. You will most likely get a higher quality machine, more hardware configuration options, *and* your choice of OS's. Not to mention you're supporting the growth of local commerce and small mom and pop shops
You *are* aware that the Nobel Peace Prize is not the only Nobel prize awarded. There are Nobel's for all fields of science. I believe that several contributers to the first Atomic bomb were awarded Nobel prizes.......And oh dear, I've just been trolled!
I don't understand the whole appeal of the spud gun. I mean, who would want to shoot a potato? Potatoes are quite tasty and rarely ever do anything to anger people.
If the source was ripped from a DVD, the ACT itself of ripping the DVD would violate the DMCA. I believe the distribution of the 2nd generation digital copy would fall under standard copyright law. I could be wrong though. Maybe someone out there could answer.
This has already been done. Anyone with a relatively fast connection (Cable or DSL) can go into an IRC channel and download most movies that are still in the theatres. DVD is not the only way to watch movies. At this point however, it is the best way to watch movies at home, because like most other analog formats, digitizing a movie STILL won't look great if the source came from a guy in a movie theatre with a palmcorder.

I've got a bunch of optical switches in my house. By flipping them to the *on* position one is able to see things better at night.
Try this.
Pair this CPU up with the low power consumption organic displays seen here/a&g t; and you've got yourself quite a nice notebook.

If I remember correctly, the Earth's population passed 6 billion late last year. October maybe.
This is not news. It's perfectly normal. If I remember correctly, the last chip Intel released when they *said* they would was the 486.

Microsoft agrees to design the software and Cisco does the hardware that powers Al Gore in exchange for no taxes.
