What would be next? Movies? Certainly most of the major blockbusters that leave us ooohing and aaaahing would have a much more difficult time getting funded if protected distribution channels (yes, yes, for profit, no less) collapse? I want my Matrix sequels, goddammit!
Why would the digital home recording act, a law about audio, have anything to do with moves? Also, it isn't as apperant that Movie studios act in the same, well, evil, way that the members of the RIAA do twoard video recordings.
From what I've read, an ISP is responsible for its hosted content once it's been made aware of the problem.
Napster dosn't host content? Are you one of those people who think napster is a website to (A fact I'm painfully made aware of by reporters consistantly refering to napster as website...)
I just kept thinking this all applies to DVDs and DeCSS.
It does, but it looks like one of the main points in the defense of napster was that it shared music and was therefore covered by the Digital-home-recording act.
If boils wins this case, I'm sure new laws will pass invalidating them.
I'm guessing it's not full-color-ultra-hi-rez that humans normaly have... but can their eyes do things that normal eye's can't? IE Infa-red vision, etc (like sony's night shot cams).
My guess is 'no', but I certanly think it would be cool:P
How are they planning to make money off this software? It seems like they just give all their apps away for linux for free, are they just trying to hurt M$s marketshare? Are they planning on charging money again once Microsoft goes away?
And, I suppose this question is kind of offtopic, but how is the linux community going to compete against microsoft's '.net' initiative? anyone have a clue?
Don't forget that you'll have to buy twice the RAM chips to get the same amount of memory (effectively.) And programs will be about twice as large on your hard drive due to the 64 bit instruction words.
I'm not sure this is actually right, Data will still take up the same amount of space, and since x86 is a CISC instruction set, the size of the instructions won't grow to much. Doing something like MOV xEAX, xEBX won't take much more space then its 16 or 32-bit counterparts.

There are tons of tools out there that can speak HTTP, infact, HTTP is so simple that you could probably do it by hand (in fact, I know I've been both client and server)
And as far as 'multiple channels' that can be done with multiple HTTP connections over TCP. BXXP may be a little better, but it's got to be a lot better for people to want to use it over HTTP.

the RIAA is an association of Corporations. It doesn't seem unlikely that they would structure it's command system in a similar manner to their own.

2) CDs are not non-degradable. After 10-15 years, they will degrade. After usage, they will get scratched and skip.
You're off by an order of maginitude, CD's last 100 years, not 10. CD-Rs don't last as long if you don't keep them out of the sun.

AMD's desperate plight for technical superiority
Does 'krautt' even know what the word 'plight' means? I've descovered its best not to use words unless you have some idea what they mean...
Thank God for the Fox News Channel.
Good work
I signed up for the member-at-large position, but I don't belive that I've ever gotten a conformation-slip. Have other people actualy gotten them?

Unicode can be extended to 16 additional 64k segments by paring two of the reserved extender characters. That's 1 million extra, RTFFAQ

they all so give students an easy way to access their data...
Unicode already includes Klingon, in an extender set. UNICODE can actualy contain 20 million, or something.

I'm thinking that this may have an adverse affect on Transmeta's plans, and by extension that open source movement in general.
and how exactly, woud that harm the oppen source movement?
First of all, we havn't entered any era yet, all we have is a map.
And second of all, I don't see how stoping "perfict babie" stuff is worth letting people die of cancer....
Or will he actually make it into space and realize that he forgot to find a way to get back?
Well, getting back won't be a problem. The question is wether or not his rocket will blow up before he gets there. I'm betting that it will.
Btw, that rocket care thing was a hoax.
It was Zephram. And it wasn't a rocket, it was a warp drive.
But that, has nothing to do with reality.
I'm not sure how enforceable 17 USC 117 (a)(1) is, but the 'coping into RAM' thing was held up in Court.
Because it specifically states that you do not have to agree to it if you don't distribute the software.

All software should be covered by the same warranty. "If you are in any way not satisfied by the software, you are entitled to a full refund."
I think that could work...

that certanly sucks
Uhh, I've never had System.currentTimeMillis() do that. It just works.
Well, you arn't using the win32 implementation, then

I thought RAMBUS claimed their patent covered ANY synchronous DRAM access from a processor.
:)
Maybe they did. But the 'S' in SDRAM stands for 'Super'. See, it's SuperDynamic RAM. It was probably named in Japan
