D-link makes very poor equipment, definatly Netgear anyday of the week (just make sure its not in the slick silver cases, those are made by a third party, not sure who and they suck). BTW cisco and linksys arn't even remotly in the same market, so its really not a conflict of interest.
If you read the rules, the first place entry was determined by (votes total/bytes) while second place was (votes total) and third was (votes total/(bytes^2)) screwy really.
Torrents are very slow when your behind a firewall unfortunatly. Try port redirect. Btw you shouldn't expect more than 120KB from anyone unless you are on an OC line seriously. the 1MB (which is probably actually 1 megabit not 1 megabyte) will only be filled when you are downloading from multiple sources at one time. You will almost never see a single download faster than 150KB.
Your probably right, but they arn't sold for recordings, and noone really is going to go buy prerecorded tapes at a much higher cost, just to not pay the tax. So its a mute point.
Actually it DARPA specifically required that no government agency help allowed. (though universities are quasi government, but you now..) Anyways I heard that the university that developed software that went on the mars rover also has a different team that worked on this project, but wasn't allowed to use the software. Though it probably wouldn't have worked as the rover goes real slow and spends a lot of time analysising the environment to get the safest path. This project will require real time calculations that picks the best route given the time, but not nessesarly the perfect route.
I don't know I think they should be able to use their existing money to start new divisions. Lets say Xbox didn't exist, and they wanted to create it. Would they be required to get a loan from a bank for the initial upfront or could they loan themselves the money, of course this runs into the problem of a loan without expectation of payback. Though couldn't a not so honest bank loan them money with no expectation of payback with the realization that he will get other paybacks from the rest of the corperation. There are many ways to push money around from one corperation to another which arn't always quite as transparent. Atleast it would be an obvious law breaking manuver if they did get caught.
They say that many people actually watch less tv with tivo, because you watch just want to want to watch then you can turn it off not having to worry that you might have missed something interesting. No time wasted flipping channels or watching commercials. Though of course there are the people who want and excuse to waste time.
You've obviously never lived in a small town. Or been part of a labor union. But there are plenty of people who would be professionally or physically damaged if their vote wasn't along the lines of what was expected of them. We are just lucky to live in a country were its not quite as obvious, probably because of the secrecy of our ballots.
Yes, but how the hell do you get a rocket with enough fuel to mars in the first place. You'd either have to bring it into earths orbit in pieces, assemble it space then send it off to mars or use one hella big rocket to carry another rocket.
Or maybe they purchased it real cheap, many insurance companies will place take a few hundred bucks to cover a multimillion dollar loss if that loss is very very unlikly to happen. Its legal betting basically.
Wow, apparently according to the rules has to be an "ocean" of water, literly, that has to cover so many million square miles. I'm sorry but the insurace company screwed them on this one they knew perfectly well that nasa wouldn't be able to announce any exact diminsions so soon.
Na rules said it had to be announced by feb 29, also they purchased in insurance policy to cover them if they did have to give out free shimp, and you can bet the insurance company wouldn't be paying out just cause it was close.
I'm confused, the link to the 3rd page of the article is "Your cause should be just -- why amoral games like "Grand Theft Auto" are wrong"
But nowhere in the 3rd page, or in the entire interview do they talk about GTA infact the Eugene Jarvis talks about how we need to stop blaming games for our problems.
Ok maybe I'm just being stupid, but in the year 2008 the comet and earth are fairly close to one another. I know with our current tech we probably wouldn't be able to succesfully land on it, but wouldn't it be sad if in 2008 we had the ability to launch a craft to beat the Rosetta to its goal.
There are places that do this, generally along side computer game rentals. Most pay an extra fee to the game maker for permission to rent the use of their games. Many just say, hey we are renting out the computers, which happen to have games already installed on them. This second process while technically illigal is generally accepted and software makers ignore them, except the few that actually have a procedure in place for someone to pay for the right to rent, then they encourage the rental place to pay the fee.
Hmm what I see is an ati page that list a driver download for 4.1 a different one for 4.2 and another for 4.3. How does this contradict the statement that drivers don't exist before 4.1 and won't work cross version?

if the wire unspooled from the probe thus not requiring the tether wire to have to move this would work just fine.

Only one problem is that hdtv is government mandated.
Ok, so taking iraq for example, you truly believe that all those people voted from Sadam in the last election because they really wanted to?

Wow, yea you have any idea how hard it is to bring anything BACK from mars, hell you might as well have a manned mission at that point.

I doupt he could retract SCOs license to use it, but definatly can retract their license to redistribute it.

Its probably that google didn't realize who these people were looking for so it never got on the list.
The early iPods only worked on macs, But I assume they started making good profit from them because the current versions work on PCs too.
Because its not legal, and atari or other game maker doesn't get any cut for their initial work.
