OK, maybe they don't want the money, you have a point there. But they *need* the money to at least pay the bandwidth bills. We aren't living in a dream world after all, and neither is FreeCache.
even if someone has pirated copy of Windows, it is more important to keep him safe than it is to be concerned about the revenue issue.
Of course Microsoft don't care about being kind to their pirates, but to save their asses and get a better rumor about providing secure operating systems.
It's really hard to checksum MP3s, though. First thing I do after downloading an MP3 is change the ID3 tags to my liking, which changes the file, and generally makes it unique, with only one source, me.
Yes, but since I doubt the majority are as careful as you to fix metadata (at least past experience on P2P nets seem to show this), the "real" music in its most spread version often still have sources in the hundreds for mp3 music.
For me to be fooled when downloading, many people need to share the same file. If it's a bogus file, users usually delete it from their hard drive. Also, modern P2P networks build file identities on file hashes, not "similarity" in size, name, or even sound. Two slightly different versions of the same information will look entirely different to the P2P clients.
Seems logical that, as the OS grows more and more complex, and the same product needs to do more and more (since it's closed source no-one else can offer assistance on the OS level), a single company with developers might not be enough to create an OS.
I think Microsoft is struggling very hard to get Longhorn out reasonably quickly while still having enough features to encourage users to upgrade. It will be very interesting to see where all this goes with, say, the "Windows" two versions later than Longhorn or so... And how quick/efficient open source software development will be then.
Firefox *do* have something to do with the local filesystem: when you're about to save downloaded files. I think it would be nice if Firefox supported the WinFS "Storage" devices, but maybe it will anyway if it just uses the default file dialog, which it should absolutely continue doing like it does now.:-)
Other than that, I can't see a reason to use XAML etc. since it would probably break the GUI look & feel and annoy people using Firefox on multiple operating systems. But I'm sure someone will do an own branch for better Longhorn integration, just like there's the Camino browser for MacOS X. And that's the beauty of open source.:-) The main development team doesn't need to do these sort of decisions, but another developer might, and then the end users have the freedom to choose whatever browser they want.
- Intel has never used to comment unreleased products, or so called "road maps". And there is no press conferences or presentations planned for today where this kind of announcement can be made.
But can't the news about the Tejas and Jayhawk cancellations still be true?
- I doubt that. In that case, it is the first time for seven years that I have not had the information available in advance.
So either it's a miscommunication on Intel's side, or the news are false...
Personally, I think the best way to just to replace the crappy fans and heatsinks with a tempurature controlled themaltake... Then when your processor is cool the fans will be slow and silent, but when your processor are running hot, the fans can cool everything down. I happen to like that tradeoff the best.
Yes, this work great, and I'd also like to point out that noise-absorbing case paddings can significantly lower the noise generated by vibrations for a rather low cost. Combined with your solution, you should have a not silent system, but silent enough to not be too annoyed by it.
Click "Target Body" and enter "Toutatis". The body will be found, and you can then request the data. The question is what (if any) options to enable for it, etc...
I'm afraid I couldn't find the path files (3ds model is available though) for this body. However, Celestia 1.3.2 is currently in beta testing, and it now has support for JPL's "Ephemeris" orbital data that might be usable instead of Celestia's.xyz trajectories. There seem to be some interesting stuff in a Google search. Maybe you can download 1.3.2 (I could only find a Windows binary) and read up / ask at the Celestia forums for more help about where to get Ephemeris data, and how to use it.
Bad idea. Disney would just buy a 10,000,000 year copyright on everything they could get their hands on.
I liked this idea, and of course the costs should be set so it isn't economically possible to buy a copyright for 10 million years.:-)

If they're fighting against copyright they are fighting for freedom, believe or not.
Yeah, the freedom to copy any author's work without any respect for his/her rights. Yes, I agree about that.

Once that's done then by defintion you can't infringe on someone's copyright and thus cannot be a pirate.
No, maybe I should've worded myself differently, but I hope you get my point anyway. Obviously, if no copyrights would exist, it would be called "software copying" instead of "software piracy". However, the end goal for these guys are just to download and spread the latest music, movies and software, while pissing on copyrights and the rights of the authors. Heck, they even have a BitTorrent tracker ("The Pirate Bay") where the only stuff they do is copyright infrigement, even if it's illegal today.

They think piracy is a right. They at the very least wish to get rid of copyrights so they can perform software piracy without a fear of getting caught. They encourage people to swap copyrighted works burnt on CD's on the demonstration, etc. "Piratbyrån" also means "The Piracy Bureau" in english. Miles from what the EFF stand for, for example.
I think there's a line between fighting for freedom (software patents and so on), and fighting for piracy, and these guys crossed it.
