Of course we all know which operating system is getting p0wn3d so quickly. Linux (as long as you don't from install a CD more than two years old), BSD, and OS X have a much higher tt0.
It should be fairly simple to put together a "CF-raid" drive for way less than $1K/GB.
But then it's not going to fit into a hard drive form factor, and use a single plain old IDE interface, is it? I'm sure that's worth the extra cost to some people.
The real threat is that somebody will take this and figure out how to fake being an AE, then you essentially have iTunes doing the work of defeating its own DRM for you.
It's a good thing it doesn't let you burn DRM music to regular audio CDs to do the work of defeating its own DRM for you!
The linked article refers to a specific model of lock, not laptop locks in general. I just needed one look at the picture to see what the problem was. Yeah, a Bic pen cap would be perfect for tickling one of those things.
For one thing, you could get one with a combination lock. Then you don't have to worry about losing your key. Four digits, 10,000 combinations, that should keep them reaching for the bolt cutters. (Unless there's a problem with four-wheel combination locks that lets them feel out each digit individually.)
Dubbed 'ucard', the format will support up to 2TB of storage capacity within a 3.2 x 2.4 x 0.1cm card - the same size as a standard MMC unit. The new cards are said to be connector-compatible with the older format.
She should move her own web site and e-mail to katie.katie.com. Then she can exploit the original domain name. While she probably won't want to run a pr0n site, I suggest she have katie.com and www.katie.com point to something which will make her some cash. And throw the luser e-mails away. She's probably got enough regular spam coming to katie.com anyhow that the domain change will help a little.
It's refreshing to know that there's at least one non-stupid person out there. In the past when I've said about it, "do NOT look at this site, seriously", no link, just the name, usually quite a few people just have to see what it's about.
I run my own domain too. I did a little research and chose two blackhole lists which were concerned with known zombies, then added a third one to catch a few that got through the first two. Now I'm down to maybe 10-20 a day. (Don't ask me which ones. Not only am I too lazy to look them up, there's no need to effectively slashdot them by encouraging more people to use them.)
It's enough of an improvement that mail.app's spam filter doesn't have enough samples to properly detect them all.
But a railroad, on the other hand, is another matter. There's been at least one case in the USA where a railroad company lost its rights to fiber lines it had buried along its tracks... because it had buried them. Turns out that the railroad didn't own any subsurface ROW along the tracks.
...is that they're going to be using VDSL to go from nodes to homes.
Pushing fiber farther out and closer to customers is a good thing, and concentrating on putting FTTH in new neighborhoods rather than having to tear up old ones is a smart thing. Me and my 6M/512K SBC DSL will be happy to upgrade when this becomes available.
so they will have to spend some serious $$$$$ to do software emulation.
They already did. Ever hear of Virtual PC? The NVidia issue is the most likely problem, and that depends on whether a game was programmed to the chip or used a 3D library with an API that can be emulated.
Perhaps they could sell a boot disk with an x86 and NVidia emulator? Then they would only have to pay royalties to NVidia for just the folks who wanted backwards compatibility.
The 7800 plays Pitfall 2 just fine. The only incompatibilites were with timing of the bank switch hardware in certain cartridges vs certain versions of the 7800 console.
And just for the record, the 5200 had an add-on unit (with the graphics and I/O chips of a 2600), but it was incompatible with most of the early 4-port base units.
Also, for whoever said all of Atari's later units were backwards compatible, they forgot about the Jaguar, which wasn't backwards compatible with anything. But their 8-bit computer line maintained a lot of backward compatibility, if you don't count wierdnesses with the 1200.
As for the Super 8, I have a Tri-Star which is esentially the same thing. It's another case of a whole game system (including the CPU, apparently) that goes into a cartridge slot. The only thing it uses the base unit for is power and I/O (since the controller port was esentially the same between the NES and SNES, only with a different connector).
You can emulate the CPU, but they cant emulate Nvidias propriatary GPU.
Who needs to emulate the GPU? As long as they had a 3D API (I would be surprised if they didn't encourage game publishers to use DirectX), that's all they need to emulate. And the emulated graphics libraries wouldn't even need to be x86 code.
all they had to do was give the extension only to people who called in to report that they'd been unable to pay.
Which she did. And they didn't. Except, oh wait, Mona is totally made up for melodramatic reasons, and that would spoil the sappiness of the melodrama.

This won't be a fully complete standard until they include squant in their color model.

Oh, wait...

It's a 2 terabyte maximum, not a 2 terabyte card.

Oh wait, that's not GPL. Not free enough for RMS, I guess.
So you're saying the robots all have Courier modems? All right! (Unless they use Sporsters, in which case, never mind.)
Intel's sales figures for Itanic^Hum CPUs more than doubled as a result.

If you really want to erase that image, just look at tubgirl for a few seconds. It makes for a good mental cauterization.

Also, love the Sig, but I like the P239 more than the P229. I'm rather partial to P41 myself. Unless you meant Pu239.
4 gigabytes? You mean you can make a routing table with one byte per address? Send your resume to Cisco right away! :-)

I don't know what conventions you've been going to, but a small "b" means bits, and a big "B" means bytes.
