The drive is preloaded with some software from what I understand. As well it uses a proprietary removable connection system. So you know, as with other propriatary stuff. You get what you pay for. I do wonder though if you can take the case off the harddrive put a new larger PC 2.5 drive in.. Will it work?
Its possible that they were selling the prescription notes (electronic or maybe not). Meaning the individual had to pick them up from their local pharmacy themselfs. This would have allowed the prescription pickup the be spread out enough to never no noticed by human hands.
You can opt to not have the mobile phone number stored. And if they did sell it then you could sue them. Their current claim is that they are doing this to limit the amount of gmail accounts a person can activate. Of course you still can use the traditional invite system, so it seems silly to me.
Sorry, my bad. Anyways my point is that google isn't interested in promoting Orkut, and isn't going to devote resources of other google employees to cleaning up the interface any time soon.
I think the common use for this is for having an insite search. Sure you can link to google and limit site to your domain but you won't get results as good as a search engine that completly indexes just your site.
He is saying they don't leverage the transparency features find in the newest X servers. Not that they don't use transparency. Anyways according to their documentation they are purposfully building it to for backwards compatibility to only classic X features. Hopfully they will find a way to use new features while gracefully falling back when they don't exist.
For this they generally find someone willing to sell such services cheap. They will probably pay some phone company some money for this or buy a small VOIP provider that overinvested in landline connections but has few customers.
Yes, but Orkut had the same interface before google bought it. Google hasn't really done anything with Orkut... If google every creates a orkut.google.com site and markets it, I would expect it to have a nice interface.
One feature it does have is great NAT penetration as other postered mentioned. I tried it an it worked perfectly the first try without any NAT reconfiguation. Has anyone tested it NAT to NAT?
Believe it or not, work in our society is defined as doing something useful. Weither it be building a house or a software application. Ordering people around may or may not be work depending upon how you do it. But creating software applications that can itself do work.. certainly is. Would you call someone who makes hammers a non-worker.
I didn't say this wasn't a good savings, I simply said that parent was over imagining the size of the savings based on the use of big numbers. Pretty amazing. Although I'd like to see real #s to back up that claim.
Well they did imply that the HD is upgradeable to a larger HD. And as its removable.. why not. The new systems will probably add spin to the mix. New Xbox 360 with HD-DVD and NEW 100GB drive!!!! (when its the minimum they can buy anyways)
You're wrong in assuming that a company the size of microsoft couldn't have an endless supply of small harddrives. iPod has a custom made harddrvie, no reason microsoft can't have one, and for cheap.
Authorizes the director of the patent office to regulate continuation applications -- subsequent patent applications filed by the same inventor, based on information included in an earlier application, but containing different claims This is common in the medical field. You invent a drug patent it, right before it goes out of patent, you repackage the same drug as doing something slightly different and your patent has just been extended by 20 years. (I'm not sure if people can now sell generics under your old claim or not.. anyone care to clarify?)
The drive will be removable. One of the selling points is a removeable drive you can take your saved games and such with you to your friends house. Do you really think most people would be comfortable lugging a 3.5 with its casing around. A small light notebook style drive would be much more consumer friendly in this regard.
The stated reason in the interview is that the original games expected a harddrive which was not optional. Essentially claiming that they games will fail upon not detecting a harddrive. Do I believe this? Not really.
I know that, you know that, I'm sure MS knows that. They seem to have some clever marketing reason for almost every decisions like this they make. Now the question is.. WHY?!
My only guess is that they realize that the people who buy the core systems won't be hard-core gamers. These people will not be buying Halo 2 and such. Hopfully game developers will be wise enough to understand their market and make games that make significant use of the HD. Sadly I really don't see a market for non hardcore gamers buying the Xbox in the first year anyways. But who knows.
After all, eventually Borg style networking will be more efficient than going to school for 16 years to learn what you need to know. It'll be like an instant college degree. Economics and the race to the bottom as people compete tends to compell certain life choices and the use of certain technology. And those choices change us as humans and as a society.
True but scary, picture any extremist(left or right or up or down) you know, chances are their children have a slightly different view, sometimes even their children have the opposite view. This comes about because all their knowledge isn't just from one place. Now imagine your knowledge being implanted at one time without a chance to challenge and discover for yourself. Clones.. Scary..
Generally its self pity that cause people to be overly upset at a funeral. The whoa is me.. whatever shall I do now syndrom. Though there are a few people I would think... Oh man that guy is gonna have a rough time in hell I feel sorry for em.
Whoa there, so you are saying they would make absolutly great solar energy collectors if we just just figure out how disipate the heat quickly enough and use it.

Actually there are high end wireless routers out there that cost 3 to 5 thousand. They are intented for high security/authentication purposes. Also it generally cost 50-150 a drop for ethernet. And you are saving significantly more than 11 jacks as the intentions are for a thousand users. Easily making up the cost. Big question simply is, does it have enough distance for these thousand users, probably not.

Your not trying to imply that a communist system is trying to activly encourage their people to become productive are you?

On electrical cost savings alone, PC users will save $1 billion per year for every 100M computers.
1 billion / 100M = 10
So your cost saving is $10 a year. Not hard to achieve. Don't be fooled by fancy large numbers.
