or college student with a MS "dreamspark(tm)" account that is grabbing a copy of every MS product available for free while they have they chance so if they ever need it later they won't have to pay through the nose for it. Or some one that likes to play with blender and has large cg renders, or uncompressed video for editing, or even a moderate music/audiobook library in lossless audio, or several virtual machines, or some one who backs up all of their software on optical disks to iso images (took my civ v disk shattering and sibling who liked to "barrow" (read; scratch) my infinity engine games to learn the value of backups) or if you back up multiple computers with clonezilla, i can think of lots more reasons to have many large hard drives that in no way infringe on copyright of others
Its not Spam if you opt in. Spam is unsolicited. For this you have to request. Now is it possible the guy is bull shitting that part sure, however if we accept that the articles are bull why bother to read them?
new colors? If you count each rgb hex code as a unique colors and each competitor get a single corporate color then there would have to be 16,777,216 competitors before you need more. But i have met people that thought that netflix owned redbox simply because of the colors were the same.
No just go with netflix redbox and library dvds/blurays and rip them to you harddrive in as high a quality a file as you can(you can always make the video smaller for portable devices later after all). format may change but you can format shift it now. connectors won't mater any more either as you can just copy it from one drive to another. Optical disks are great but is nothing compared to external hard drives. DRM skeams will come and go but my copy of handbrake vlc and libdvdcss are forever. (best of all open source so if i change processor families/OS later on i can recompile)
Can you really look me in the eye and tell me with a straight face that you belive that something in streaming today will be available for streaming 20 years from now?
Absolutely.
Do you trust the content owners that much?
Don't trust them at all. I do trust they enjoy recurring revenue from the content they already have streaming right now, and can't see them giving that up.
The real trick is to get someone to START streaming. But once they have done so, it's going to be streaming somewhere forever...
really? might want to ask stars about that they pulled their streaming content from netflix. Although it may not be streaming forever, but it will be on the web forever be it torrents usenet ftp, linking sites, or darknet, or shared friend 2 friend
they will use a hardened 486 instead? or maybe they could harden a newer more powerful processor? Or is there some unwriten rule that all space going computers have to be so antiquated as to be as near usless as possible?
so that is the signal embedded in the cosmic background microwave radiation the ancients sent the destiny to investigate was.
on a more serious not even if you could encode your intellect into some cosmic game save that would survive the end of the universe and the creation of another there would need to be something on the other side capable of decoding and executing your consciousness program. So unless you plan on building a computer outside of space time itself like Asimov wrote of in "the last question" your pretty much out of luck.
it wasn't cracked for five years because it was wide open for the first few until sony decided that they needed to be a douche and screw look people out of using a feature that they had paid for.
until we can blow up the sun at will military minds will keep wanting bigger bombs let them keep developing though lots of our current civilian tech is derived from military research. Besides if they don't pour it into research they will look for places to spend it, or rather places to blow up.
I honestly hope the patent wars continue to escalate until the only people making any money in the tech industry are the lawyers.
I hope things get so bad that when all is said and done, patent-mania makes tulip-mania look like a small price fluctuation.
Do you mean you want to turn the whole tech industry into SCO like IP zombies? are you insane? What we need patent and copyright reform, not a dark age.
How is it that Ms can tell dev's that they are not allowed to use system 32 libraries on metro and rt but they do so themselves? Didn't. They get in trouble for using secret api's to make office better than the competitors products (word perfect) back in the anti trust suits? If it was an illegal anticompetative abuse of monopoly then why is it okay now?
Well the starbucks drip coffee is actually pretty good but to expensive so I only drink it when someone gives me a giftcard. Not all of their coffee is drowned in sugar.
or cat'ing a bunch of mp3 files together from an audiobook, or re-encoding the audio of a large number of files adjusting the bit rate of the audio or video files
Can and have installed debian still use ubuntu due to not having to track down propriety drivers, and other "patent encumbered" software. I just purged unity from the system and use a sensible DE, mate, instead.
no it is more like cutting the nails on the human. the feather like hair and fingernails are dead tissue, they grow back and it does not hurt the bird where cutting the finger tips off oh the human as you suggested.
If you are going to that much effort why not run your own DNS sever? Bind9 is fairly light weight. Hell I run it on my Linux laptop without noticing much of anything in the way of a performance hit, and it will fallow you from device to device if you set your dns service provider to your home server.

well he all know he must of had Riser for his filesystem
they plan on buying lots and lots of pringles cans.
that or Microsoft offered it for free or is paying for it just to get the publicity.

No, Watson was an answer engine more like Wolfram Alpha. Where this is more of adding contextual comprehension/understanding to search terms.
Since your Slashdot ID is almost 3 Million...
said the 8 digit AC.

and how much hardware support does it have again?

as i understand it ibm doesn't some much sell you the hardware as lease it to you but i may be wrong on that

How? This is not related at all to desktops. It looks more like a maneuver to keep MS out of the enterprise mobile market.
You can tun that "feature" on and off with a simple check box in the plugins configuration dialog.
