Its stored internally, and no you don't have to take the disc out to use the browser. It also looks like there functionality is there to pause a game and do stuff like this while its paused. The function doesn't exist currently, but it seems possible based upon the GUI structure.
JK, though it is theoretically possible to make a game like that semi-open and make money off it at the same time. 1) Provide an open server architecture so that anyone can run a server who wants to. 2) Release a small part of the game open. 3) Sell expansion packs to server operators for a percent of profit.
Are you building these machines for clients. Unless some specifically ask for XP-64 I wouldn't install it. Personally dispite all compatibility claims I've run across a lot of software that won't install correctly on XP-64 for no good reason. (Apparently the "reason" is that installers are often written in 16 bit, but I've even come across recently made applications whos installers will tell me they won't install on XP-64 and give me no way around).
It depends upon the rule set. If your rules say. "This MUST stay inside the cooperation and can't be emailed or turned into a regular document." Then thats exactly what it will do. But if you allow that, then you aren't really "protecting" your cooperation. The thing is that there are some industry standard DRM schemes that allow you to keep the files locked but work with several vendors. The MS scheme is not compatible with any of these.
A friend recently had to sit through a sales presentation of Microsoft Corporate DRM (the kind that keeps your documents and other corporate files secure based on a rule set like the music DRM). And came out of it realizing that for the Corporate DRM to work they would have to replace ALL their software with Microsoft software. Lucikly they told MS to get lost with their solutions, but the point is MS sees DRM as a way of locking customers in perpetually to them. If you create a MS DRM document you will never, outside of hacking it, be able to transfer your files away from Microsoft.
Developing? I mean seriously.. How much Developing needs to be done to make a barebone phone?//Reading the link I see it uses E-ink, neat, but did they do this to drive up the price?
"We can't sell a barebones phone for more than $30, we gotta add SOMETHING to it???..."
Read signs? Seriously if we are going to have robotic cars, I would only trust them on roads with radio transmitted signs. How hard is it to have signs in the road that say, which lane to get into, and what the speed limit is and whatnot. A fairly cheap implementation, and would allow you to have roads for robotic cars, and roads that only humans are allowed to drive on.
While I agree with you post, it ignores the history of US telecommunications. First of all the US government paid most of the initial infrastructure cost for the phone network in the US. Time for an example. Lets say the US government in its grand stupidity had contracted out the creation of the Interstate system. They said, OK private companies here is a load of cash to build the interstate, you build it, and you can charge fees, and 95% of those fees have to go back into maintainance and building new roads. That is exactly how the phone system was build and maintained untill the mid 90s. At that point they said, Hey there is demand for an all new phone (sorry falling off the methaphore here, oh forget about the raods) system using fiberoptics. You remove that 95% requirement and give us some extra tax breaks, and we will be motivated more to build a newer better system. Congress fell for this (bribed, whatever..) and that is where we stand today, with the new system that was promised never built. The phone companies are now saying, hey we are thinking about building extra toll booths, ones that allow us to charge large trucks based upon the value of their load and not just how much it weights, and other stuff too. Technically there was nothing in law to stop them from doing it besides oversight, but the new HR 5252 was going to remove a lot of that oversight. Now we are just waking up and realizing the boondongle we got ourselfs into.
Personally I think the government should claim ownership of ALL lines, and then remove all regulations. Meaning if you want to build new lines and compete with the government, thats fine, but you're going to have to do it on your own penny. But the current system which was created from government money really should belong to the people, not these companies.
Apparently as the Wii is fully compatible with the Gamecube you use the same method as you would with the gamecube, using the "Action Replay". The action replay is sorta like a game genie for modern game systems, it plugs into the memory card slot.
The full instructions I havn't been able to find, but lots of confirmation that "it works".
BTW, there is already instructions on how to load an emulator and old games into the Wii. And if one actually owned the old games I don't think they should have to feel guilty about doing this.
Yea, though to go from getting $1,500 a year to getting $1384.62 does kinda suck if your on a monthly budget like most people. Though those two months of extra paychecks with no insurance detucted is nice as well. Its a tradeoff I guess.
Well, actually the Wiimote can be used at a wireless mouse. Search the web, several people have made drivers for it already and the Wiimote uses standard Bluetooth communications. BTW while I'm positive the Wiimote designers in no way were influenced by this patent, it is very similar to the wiimote in Several ways, and as patent law goes nowadays, these people stand a high chance of winning.
Just make the system admin, and other people who's job is to wait till there is something to do pedal:)//Or call it the "company gym" and people will volunteer to do it for free.//You might even be able to get strangers to pay membership fees.
Well for collaborative projects of course you have to set a schedule, but do you really need a boss to do that? Coworkers can get together and meet at the office, or a coffee house or wherever, and it would be in every bodies best interest to do it at the same time so that everyone isn't working 24/7. Its more a matter of self organization. Though yea it wouldn't work so well with people across the globe from each other, but thats a different problem entirely.
treason war? Yea I'm licking at the flames now.. But I didn't think wars agreed to by the congress could ever be called treason or illegal. Oh yea we've been calling the Iraqi war illigal sense day one despite congresses initial approval. So I guess so..:(
He probably bought it when he bought his Wii by waiting in line. Right now the Buy it Now auctions on Ebay for Zelda are about $60-$65. Which isn't much more than the game itself.
Anyways Nintendo has been shipping out a new batch of Wii's almost every week. You might have to wait till after Christmas, but you might not either. The local stores that are carrying it have been getting used to this, and can generally by now tell you when they expect their next shipment in.
What would be really great is the ability to use calibrate and use the pointing feature. Sure you'll need an IR source, but the ability to say, put an IR source on the floor and use a projection screen with a true pointer would be very very cool.

Open Source it!! :)

give them an understanding of where the libraries they are suing will come from.
SCO stop teaching our kids for pity sakes!!
he probably used html codes.
You can also hold alt while you type numbers on your keypad. like alt(128) = Ç
Note: most password forms won't allow anything non alphanumeric even slashdot didn't allow alt(127)
When you use the "hosted web browser" Oh noooes.

Geez..
So Hans Reiser has more rights than me? Is this what this is all about? I'm confused...
You're involved in this project and only replied to this one comment? Should I feel honored.
Yea I looked at your profile hoping to see if you made other insightful comments to this article.
Hey, I didn't claim I had the instructions simply that they exist. I'm sure one could find them.

explain? How is
.5*10=5.0
point five != point fifty
are you saying that point fifty =

because I can't find a Wii to play on.
