Im inclined to agree. It's too complicated and CPU intensive to have hthe thing recognise individual tracks. In addition to this, who picks individual tracs on their MP3 plater anyway? You're far more likely to want to select and ablum or playlist.
If it's intended for simple navigation, then there are fr simpler ways of achieving this. Steering wheel paddles or remote controls spring to mind.
Then, no matter how good the technology, there's always the matter of contect. Can the driver not participate in converstation in the car for fear of changing tracks, ejecting CD's etc?
Better in car displays for selecting tracs would be a far better invention. If I was searching for a playlist or album, it would be far safer to have it displayed in a HUD on the windscreen rather than on a hard-to-read LED display in the dash.
This isn't a troll. Can someone actually articulate the difference between Mozilla and Firefox (from a browser perspective that is) I know Moz has all of the mail reader and composer built in, but from a pure browser point of view, what are the fundamental differences?
they just wouldn't go blow out at speed on the freeway - which is a good thing
True, but there are other safety concerns. Delamination of the tread, catastrophic failure of the "spokes", etc. If you com outside and you tyre is flat at the bottom you know there's a problem, how do you tell with tweels until something lets go?
I don't want to get in the way of progress and innovation, but like the man said, it's going to be quite some time before we see some commercial evolution of the tweel at each corner of the average family saloon.
South Africa has yet to join the Western world as a premier nation
Define "premier"! South Africa is a country in its infancy as an integrated nation, we probably have more liberal, open minds and a better acceptance of diverse culture than most other 1st world countries.
South Africa has been through more terror and turmoil in the last half-century than the USA has experienced since it's inception.
Making flippant, uneducated comments about a nation that you know nothing about simply highlights your ignorance.
Anyway, we have better wine, women and weather than you do. That makes it a premier nation in my book.
Certainly one of my biggest concerns as a newbie Linux user. Everything workes fine out of the box but when I tired to upgrade KDE to 2.2 it was a nightmare.
OK, I learned a lot about packages and dependencies and some of the various components on my system, but as a newbie I'm concerned about --force'ing updates.
I must have fetched nearly 40 RPM's and still had problems. Did I miss an easier way to upgrade my KDE? A step-by-step guide somewhere (I presumed Red Hat's site would have one) would have helped a novice quite a bit.
The USB spec specifies that a device must support up to 1500 insertions. Not many when you think about devices like these keys. The device manufacturers state that their keys will last far longer, but will your USB port? You'd need a USB hub or an extension cable (better than crawling under your PC every day anyway).
Isn't PAL better quality (more scan lines) than NTSC though? And in the UK some of the new digitalTV broadcasts are in widescreen format (is that the same as HDTV?) Surely with MPG2 satellite broadcasts they could sacrifice some bandwidth to provide HDTV signals?
Napster has had some coverage in the technical press over here, but nothing mainstream. With bandwidth so low over here (dial-up and a bit of ISDN) and call charges so high it's not made much of an impact. Like most countries, it's legal to make MP3's for your own use from music you own.
We don't have much in the way of pirated music (online or offline) and with one of the highest violent crime rates in the world, MP3 pirates are not on the "10 most wanted" list.
I presume you are using Bordermanager as your proxy? You could add an OU to you NDS tree and create users and then just use the Bordermanager Java login applet to authenticate them without them having to log in to NDS in any way.

Hmm, perhaps I should have used speech rec instead of a keyboard for this post. Sorry for all the typos, must learn to use the "preview" button.

We need a compression method that is lossless, not one that creates compact files. Space is cheap, CPU cycles aren't.
True, but in many countries, bandwidth isn't cheap and 30% smaller images mean I can share more pictures of the kids with granny.
I agree with a previous post though, that with faster processors becoming available that alternative compression methods could be revisited.
And let's limit the processor to a 386, can't have your roboplayer smarter than the average Beckham!

Spock got rid of the ice age?!
Now's the time ti sign up with EMC and get your sales boots on! Think of the disk required to store all of that drivel!

Both Aladdin and Rainbow make USB tokens with crypto engines on them for storing private keys and performing crypto functions (key never leaves the device). They come in 8/16k versions (more than enough for a few key pairs) and use the Datakey CSP. It's just like a smartcard but uses the USB port as the reader.
