forward this message to all your frends! Microsoft corp is going is conducting a test of email tracking software, will pay you $2500 for every message you forward. Intel, AOL, ICQ, and Disney corp are also somehow involved!
Heh, this I find interesting. I remember swareing up and down that getting a virus through email was imposible once, to.
That dosn't sound anything like Gibson, I'm not saying it isn't interesting, but there is no way it come close to something from the keyboard of William Gibson.
By circumventing DirecTV's security measures one is depriving them of income that is rightfully theirs.
How so? I would never pay for television, and if I were to get one of these devices (as some of my friends have) it wouldn't change the amount of money flowing into DTV one bit. They get Zero dollars from me whether I watch the signal or not.
In fact, I believe that this kind of action on the part of Hughes is the best, when dealing which hackers or whatever. Instead of brining in lawyers, and making laws that stifle freedom, big corporations should hack back. Hughes was a company with enough technical talent to pull this off, but unfortunately the record companies and other media conglomerates were not.
I don't know what contracts you sign when you get the serivce, but buying the dish dosn't require service. and if you're hacking the system, you don't need it.

Nintendo makes its own stratagy guides, and trys to sell them. If people can already get all the info they need off the 'net. then they don't need to buy nintendo's.
I'm not saying that what nintendo is doing is morraly right, but it may be legaly right.
Actualy, pages using CSS for layout will be a lot more readable to non CSS-browsers, then table layout and the like. The point of CSS/XML/XHTML, etc is to make developing web pages, and technology related to the web easier to develop. While those things won't make the content better directly, they do allow designers to spend more time thinking about the content, and less about they layout.
I doubt that i am smarter then most of the people who run seti. However, It doesn't mean that they are not wasting their time. Just because "hundreds of people" believe something, does not mean that it is correct. "Lots of people" have done lots of stupid things. Give me valid mathematical reasons why I'm wrong, or shut the hell up. I won't submit to the "They're smart, they must be right!" line
look, an iMac comes with a 350mhz g3 with 64megs of ram. on pricewatch, you can get a 1ghz pIII system, complete, with twice as much RAM for $804. And please don't tell me that clock for clock a g3 (g3, not g4) is three times as fast as a pIII. For $1499 I could get a 1ghz micron PC. The iBook looks like a god damn toliet seat, so I won't even get into that... and as for comparing anything to a sony on price, well, they are a company that dosn't even pretend to charge more money based on their brand name.
Being able to detect a cell phone as far away as one of Saturn's moons is actually pretty lame. Remember, the intercity of a wave in space is relative to the square of the distance. So, if you tried to find something a thousand times the distance of Saturn to earth, it would be a million times weaker. Saturn is only about 1/14,000th of a light year away. IIRC the nearest star is about 10 light-years away. So, in order to year a signal from there, you would need a transmitter about 140,000^2, or 19 billion times as powerful as a cell phone. Take that out from 10 light-years to 100 and you'll need 190 billion times more power then is used in a cell phone.
I don't know how many objects exist that close to earth, but I don't think its that many. While there very well may be something out there, sending signals, I seriously doubt that it will ever be picked up by seti at home.
Uh. The guy above you did a search for the man and the code name of the product. Not just the name. Since "Ginger" is a pretty common name, searching for it alone would have been worthless.

Of course, java runs about as fast as C++ nowadays...
You slashdotted Penny Arcade!!! Gah!

If I'm not mistaken, all gigabyte ethernet automaticaly does this. I'm not exactly sure, though.
Well, like starwars, the matrix was orgionaly planned as a trillogy. And considering how much everyone is looking forward to the movies...
um...

I don't think gravity waves move faster then light.

This year. Actualy, you can get an 80gig HD for around $250 nowadays. And I don't see why you couldn't just compress it...
Wouldn't that be the developer of the applications fault?
No, it would not be. The App is not responsible for keeping the box up. Thats what the OS is for
That is some sweet flash....
Not only do they have to take COBOL, they have to take it from Beca Wemhoff, AKA THE DEVIL.

Sadly, it hasn't been working at all
Unlike the music industry, the book industry leaves the copyright in the hands of the authors. As far as I know, all book's IP stays with the author.
That's why you're dealing with the authors guild, and not the publisher guild
