Believe it or not, to reach people on the street, they need marketing (gosh!) without that WOW factor with the AMD name behind it, they can kiss theyre ass goodbye as Intel has the marketing.
I remember the days when my parents said "But Im waiting for the new Athlon as I hear its better than the Intel offering" because of the commercials.
With AMD changing theyre marketing to using theyre new Gigahertz and the Athlon XP (which may help, i dunno) they will loost to the men in the pink rabbit suits.
Just another example of human tendancy of people wanting to blame somebody else. Its all too easy to do that. "It was this , that, him, her. Problem solved... NOT".
Speaking of Service packs, I think they should be more frequent. Rather than waiting a longer time and putting many fixes into them I would rather have them more often (less included in them but easier to deploy and verify)
Ive got it installed here, but ill be sticking to Windows 2000 Advanced Server for a while yet.
Nice UI in XP, built in zip compression (a direct hit at WinZip and clones)
More services to disable:)
More soothing login logout wav:D
I expect more people to download DesktopX, WindowsFX and WindowBlinds (which is what MS licensed for the themes and skinning in XP)
I think too many things in XP are under the hood (not that thats a bad thing) and most people upgrading from 2000 wont see alot (on the desktop side), under the hood things like perf optimisations and bug fixes. It will only bite users when MS stop Service packs for 2000 forcing them to upgrade.
If you are comming from 9x codebase, sure it will be an experience, but from 2000, I dont think its enought to make me upgrade.
Well since there is an HD in the XBox, cant that be replaced by laptop HDs for space saving and power reduction, same for the CD drive too.
All this is based on the assumption that its comprised of common PC components. Except the XBox specific boards.
What would be the potential market for portable versions of every console or a console form factor that has both functionality, plug it into the TV for home use and take it in the car and caravan for the kids on holiday.

I'd really love one of those drones from Star Wars so I can practice my lightsabre techniques:D

Isnt there a risk of giving another country access to technologies if they capture the drone?
If the record companies are too slow to keep up with the pace of technology, so be it, its they're loss. Move on to new formats. They have to accept that theyre revenue has moved to other non physical formats.
We have a range of various formats, e.g., MP3, WMA, ogg vorbis etc.
Who needs a shiny disk? All it takes up is physical space.
The problem with WAP in the US market
1. The US market is too fragmented
2. Slow rollout of 3g networks in favour of intermetiade solutions
3. You guys still have pagers:D
4. Cost purchasing spectrum.
5. Not enought content.
I use WAP for email, news when im traveling. But its Too little content, too slow and to dev on wap involves using the W* protocols which is an arse to code. WAP 2.0 will be based on existing protocols thankfully to make it easier. But WAP in itself is predicted to be dead within 4 years in favour of broad band wireless solutions (3G).
I read these threads and what I see is fear.
Isnt that what terrorists want? Terror?
Fear of death, murder and fear of loosing civil liberties.
Everybody has views, that is why we are a diverse people.
That is why we invented Democracy, to let people VOTE. Why dont they take an opionion poll of the people on what measures should be taken?
Isnt that what democracy is about?
My greatest fear is loosing someone that I love and my own life. All that needs to be taken is a balanced approach that is appropriate for the level of threat.

Heh, Yup, thats the problem.
Human nature today is that of greed and based on status and wealth etc etc.
Just another example of human tendancy of people wanting to blame somebody else. Its all too easy to do that. "It was this , that, him, her. Problem solved... NOT".
Humanity is wonderfull aint it.
Sweden has an eCash card that can be used in the newstand and taxi's but nobody uses it.
In Finland, I heard that people can pay for items with theyre mobile phone account. Is this true?
Do we really need cash in any shape or form? Why can't a society be built on trust and goodwill?
With any form of monetary system there will always be the have's and have not's.
Is it possible to have a negative Karma rating?
:D
Dammit I hate the MS optical mouse twitch, now it went and made me hit the submit button
Oh ok, I was told they licensed it.
THanks for clearing that up.
I guess they just updated the old 9x themes and made it a service
www.windowblinds.com o wait thats not it :D nice if you want to decorate your appartment :D
www.windowblinds.net this is it :D
www.desktopx.com o wait thats not right either
www.desktopx.net here it is

Surely it would be quite large.
Whats the lifetime of the batteries?
Wonder what an XBox portable would be like.
1 IRA/Sinn Fein member was also arrested in Turkey recently.

Cant they just reverse engineer it?
Who said anything about taking on the RIAA? No me, YOU did. And do you run a spellchecker on every web page you visit?
I store em as MP3 320kb/s VBR and play em on MD for the convience. The choice of physical format.
What would you prefer? CD size or MD size?
MP3 at 320 VBR is good enough for me.
All I am saying is I'd prefer to buy the music on another format except CD for the convience. Its not about piracy its about convience.
Just my own preference.
Do the drones carry any onboard defence capabilities? AI in the code to take over when there is an oncomming missile? Defensive manouvers or flares?
Thats my point, they need to start shipping music in other (non physical) forms. Even if its not mp3, they can still use theyre own protected format.
Would that stop people copying music? Most likely not.
Does the DMCA apply outside the US?
