next time, just go to IANA website. Now, there's about 38 class A network, 9 of those belongs to the US Govt (mainly military).
Eh, I remember reading in some US newspaper that it was the US government which imposed that oil sold by (old) Iraq has to be at lower prices than markets...
If you go to MARID meeting minutes of 18.08 (http://www.imc.org/ietf-mxcomp/mail-archive/msg03 200.html)
"And for the trademark, it is the opinion of Microsoft that "Sender ID" is too generic to be a valid trademark. He then solicited questions from the floor."
Yeah... Windows... Office... are no too generic, eh ?
"as far as the sterilization in 1970, im not saying i dont believe you, but such things were not widespread past ww2"
I wouldn't bet too much on that one, Sweden and Switzerland used and acknowlged this kind of techniques over the same period of time (but againt mentally disabled ppl).
Even if there's the law, during the last presidential campaign, that didn't stop a very popular caricatural (?) show to design the actual president as "SuperMenteur" ("SuperLiar"). Try to do that now in the states;)
And it didn't stop either all the scandals that led to that. In fact, especially for the Elf bribery, at least one past influent member of the government got judged.
no, even for that, IBM Power5 CPU got better SpecFP score.
And when you compare with all the factors, it doesn't mind if they're faster than opteron if they cost 4x the price and takes 2x the power (and generate 2x the heat).
The rant against EU regulations falls someone flat for me. The main point is that micropayments are considered as electronic payments (!) and this fall under the same regulations aimin to protect customers against fraud/bankruptcy/... and to fight against money laundering
Another fact they forgot is that (micro)payments trough SMS, for SMS or web services, are largely used and probably generate more revenue in the EU than the other forms micropayments worlwide.
IANAL and don't want to be, but I always wondered what were the implications of this RFC (which is about intellectual property rights & IETF publications)
Ok, a athlon64 3000+, a radeon 9200, 2 HDD, 1 DVD are consuming from the wall, 80W idle and 130W max (3d+cpu). With a cheap 300W PSU, not stability problems.
Yes, but this kind of argument comes only after. And in rare case does people mention that a (put-your-favorite-brand) 300-350W PSU is more than enough for a normal* PC.
As I said, my dual AMD which consume max 170W from the wall !. I guess an athlon64 won't go over 120W... if I have time, I'll check at work tomorrow and I'll tell you back.
Note : there are some reasons to buy oversized PSU. But just saying that a 500W PSU is needed for an Athlon64 is pure BS.
* = not overclocked, not intel P4, no top graphic card
For motherboard, check silentpcreview.com (esp. the forums).
For the PSU, there you'll have also a impressive list of "what can run on a 300W PSU". FYI, my dual Athlon 2600 is between 100 and 170W (not overclocked). So far for the 500+W PSU myth.

I don't have time to search, but the consumer union UFC/Que Choisir previously won against record companies selling copyprotected CDs...
I guess this is some followup to this judgment
Sad, really sad. It's a lose-lose situation, and the biggest losers are linux users [who have pwc-based webcams].
Anyway, the last release files can still be found online, backup fast (e.g. gentoo distfiles : pwcx-8.4.tar.gz, usb-pwcx-8.2.2.tar.gz).

Are you really sure about that ?

ther'es only one answer :
MOD PARENT UP !!!!
You don't take much risk : Nokia bluetooth keyboard
So, when this guy wants to install something, he
1. Read the doc
2. Install it on a test box
3. Test it
Impressing, I wonder how much ppl do the same.
Heck why do you think most products comes now with little or no printed documentation ?
no, even for that, IBM Power5 CPU got better SpecFP score.

yes, and the famous "pot belge", which was widely used amongst clyclist, contains antalgics, cafein, cocain, amphetamins and ... heroin.
The source has been published and is now on the page, so this problem is solved.

top of the page, search for "license" in the "whole site". Seem you didn't searched.
BTW, google feel lucky as weel.
