They arn't blocking trade against anyone, they are willing to purchase software. They just won't buy software that doesn't come with libre source. And this is only the government, citizens or companies are not in any way controlled on what they may buy. Many many government put trade restrictions on themselves (not the people) in order to encourage ideas that they consider important.
This market is for a entertainment product. Very very few people would ever have to buy a game console (game mag reviewers would be the exception if they didn't already get them free) The only time the government has ever stepped in is for essential services. Gas, telephone, Buisness computing.
I'm about the same way. Personally I don't expect them to make it any cheaper than 150, BUT if they included an extra controller (how many comes with it now?) maybe some memory, and a game. I'd be all over it at 150.
The headline was misleading. About a month ago, AOL released a beta of AOL using mozilla technology (mainly gecko). Yesterday they simply released the demo for Mac too, they havn't completly switch over either, but it shows signs that they are ready to do just that.
So then can a judge apply a criminal charge of contempt if they don't comply. If so, couldn't a civil suit be filled along side a criminal one, in order to get evidence???
But the point is Windows was made with the idea of it being a closed system. So they would have to fix many many security holes before they opened up there code. And everybody would have to update there windows too.
Yes, but they have to publish them for developers. Anyways, the point if if they would just make the APIs right in the first place, it wouldn't be a problem. But they tend to not think about security when they add a new whiz bang feature.
Yes, but if the total weight of you plus what your contained in is less than the weight of air, simple priciples of boyancy state that you will float up in air. If your weight is controllable (through a system of inflatable bellows for instance, like a submarine does) you can control your altitute and everything. Kinda like a blimb, only without the huge airbag.
Personally I'm hoping the money goes into researching the domain holder to make sure they are truly what they say they are, and making sure they stay that way. So that.pro can actually be what it claimes to be. But seriously who looks at the.xxx anymore anyways.
There are two tough parts to this, one, people may have identical ip addresses, and would upset eachother, two computers trying to reference ip addresses that exist out on the internet could accidently hit other computers on the network if they are ipd wrong. So the only way I could see this working, is to have a small device on each ethernet port that on the network side, has a preconfigured ip address assigned by the hotel. And on the laptop side, reads whatever ip address the laptop that gets plugged into it has, and just accepts it, and then just translates one to the other. I don't know if this device exist, but if its a large enough hotel chain, I bet they could find a company willing to make it, should be simple enough of a device.
Hmm, havn't you ever noticed that all 30 minute shows start at the same time. Given only 30 minutes and generally the same amount of commercials, the need to spread the commerical out, seem to dictate that the commericals would start within 30 seconds to a minute of eachother. No big divious plot, but you think what you want, you could be right, you never know.
Well too many of the questions were about theories like evolution. Neither True or False is correct. But what really suprised me were the responces to the facts.
54 percent, answered correctly when asked how long it takes the Earth to orbit the sun. (One year.)
Lasers work by focusing sound waves. (False. Lasers focus light.) 45 percent.
Antibiotics kill viruses as well as bacteria. (False.) 51 percent.
So in most of these questions the responces were 50 50 thats just sad really.
Well, currently Gateway is a parter with eMusic.com, which is a subsription service, you pay per month (14.99 per month for 3 months or 9.99 per month for 12) and get unlimited downloads of legally provided songs. I'm assuming they plan on having instore kiosk, where you can purchase songs, and burn cds, and probably pre-burnt collections and albums. Currently though, I don't see the advantage of the eMusic service to mp3.com which has more artist, and is free.
Also assuming its "state" university. There is some legal precidence for state governments not having to bend over to copywrite law. Something about individual state rights.. which are being slowly erroded but I digress.

So how is this ANY different than alcohol? Please tell me oh wise one!
I've never heard of this, but at the time, I'm sure tabacco was considered an essential service. As Grocery stores still are.

Exactly, also I believe there is such a thing as the 5th amendment. The judge is asking SonicBlue to give up info that would incriminate them.

How about "The Politics of Tech"
I'm sure they mean WinXP embedded, which can run on much smaller devices.

I don't know, its frames per second is kinda low, its very jerky during fast movement. But what do you expect at 1Mbps
Hey, have you tried out any of the new movies encoded in realplayer 9 format. Amazing stuff.
Hmmmm yummy, then we can get in into war with them, and have Bill Gates knocked off! YES!

You didn't know that RIAA had rights to any and all music. Period. So of course they are pirates for selling their own music. Duh!
No, but according to some states, the gun manufactures are.
Insightful?
This is not insightful, its funny, but he's not being serious you guys.
