    Actually . . .
    Mach 10 =~= 7600 mph

    Mach 1 = 340.29 m / s
    Mach 10 = 3402.9 m / s

    1 meter per hour =~= 2.237 miles per hour.

    3402.9 * 2.237 =~= 7612

  12. And they hated Google . . . on Blinkx and You Won't Miss It · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Wow, and people made such a fuss over Google reading your e-mail for ads, doesn't look like this is any better:

    And you have to do nothing! Whenever you browse a website, read a news story, check your e-mail or write a document, blinkx automatically delivers suggestions from the Web, news or your local files; which you can view by simply clicking the links or rolling over to get a summary of the information found.

    Not only email, it does everything!

  13. Well on Sculpting Interface Prototype · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Welll on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: 1

    Well yes, their website *does* violate the DDA, but it's not in the hands of J Random Public to take matters into their own hands, there *are* proper channels for this.

  15. Welll on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: 3, Insightful

    IANAL, but 'letting people browse a website easier' doesn't trump 'copyright law' where I live. He (Somerville) is using their (Odeon) IP without their permission (now).

    So, why is this a bad thing? Yes their site may suck, but violating Copyright is violating Copyright no matter how you slice it.

  18. Re:Corp Keys on Microsoft Delays Windows XP Service Pack 2 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In my eyes, IANAL, it's perfectly legal, we paid for the (insert num of licenses here, 5-10 iirc), so we should be able to install XP Pro that many times. To me we pay for a license to use XP, not for a specific CD Key, so to me, it shouldn't matter that we're using the Corp version of XP Pro, it's still XP Pro just w/o the pointless activation. Again, IANAL.

    the XP Pro Corp Installer wont take XP Pro keys and vice-versa. And it's only a few comps anyways, nowhere close to anything serious :)

  20. Re:invalid product keys... on Microsoft Delays Windows XP Service Pack 2 · · Score: 4, Informative

    There's a bit more info with the first few links. Some speculation is that they're blacklisting all non-registered Corp keys, which is pretty much what all warez copies are of.

  21. Cannot validate the product key on Microsoft Delays Windows XP Service Pack 2 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hmmm, I guess MS has decided to take a little (read: tiny) more aggressive stance towards piracy, no more automagic updates for you. Although we do have an Action Pack subscription (XP Pro), so we do have more then enough licenses, we use XP Corp CD/Keys to ignore that stupid activation, but it looks like it came back to bite us in the ass.

    Obvoiusly you have no clue as to how Freent works. Out of the box, it's just like a baby, it has no clue where anything is, nor what anything is. You have to leave it connected for a while for it to learn this things like routes, etc. I left mine running overnight, and I could get all but the most obscure sites to load.
