SDMI *NOT* Cracked!?

The article was quite explicit about the fact that all the reports were unconfirmed. Shame on the `readers' who never read it!

I don't think all NP problems are decision problems. Factoring an integer is NP, verifying that a factoring is correct is P.
Yes, the original definition was correct, but the parenthetical comment negated whatever limited insight the original definition provided.

Humans can not solve NP problems in polynomial time (unless P=NP). NP essentially means a correct solution could be verified in polynomail time, while P means a correct solution can be found in polynomial time.
It should also be noted that the 1600SW *is* a digital input device, not analog. The only drawback is that the XFree86 support is very weak, it mostly works under 3.3.6 (but no DPMS support) and there is no 4.0 support.
X is not a slow as people seem to think -- witness the good showing of the NVIDIA Linux drivers against the Windows drivers. There is no magic bullet that will give you substantially better performance under Berlin than you have in X.
...is that the University owns the notes. If you are teaching a course and you give the administration a copy of your notes they'll copy them and sell them just as they please. All you teachers out there, it is your course, don't give them your notes!
Our boundries have only been expanding with any velocity for a brief period - perhaps a few dozen millenia. This is not a stable state, and will probably lead to real problems not too far down the line.
Solar cells generate electricity for less than 15 cents per kwh, (depending on where you see interest rates going) which is about what I paid for the stuff coming out of the wall here in san diego last month. Deregulation is going to give a big boost to alternative energy sources...
At siggraph last year I saw a guy who was drawing digital holograms onto film with a computer. He used some film that did hundreds of thousands of lines per inch.
but the problem isn't resolution. The problem is lens selection, the dynamic range of the photosensor, size, and battery life.
There are only three or four cameras that aren't monsters that can take real lenses - a Minolta, a Fuji, and two Nikons. They all have flaws, including prices starting at four grand.
Furthermore, the photosensors don't have the nice logarithmic response of film. Backgrounds are much more likely to be washed out and so on.
The Minolta RD-3000 comes closest, but its still a little bulky compared to the film version, and I've heard it is rather slow and can't handle low light situations very well. So I wait...

Those of us who left would probably be the intelligent ones..
I guess it won't be the modest ones!

`Theoretically they microwaves should have no effect, so they obviously don't cause cancer, but wow, they *do* have this other cool effect!'
Huh?

Of course people can modify it as they please, the only question is whether Tivo will still allow those units to contact its service.
Or the Aspire (s to be a better car.) I'm always thinking up cool new car names. How about the Ford Aggravator?

My impression is that most of these things would subvert their business model. They really need that $10/month subscription to be a money maker.
Why not let market forces drive people elsewhere? Is a Democrat just a Republican who got stuck in traffic?
`This reduces the incentive for companies to write good code that can be easily ported.'? What incentive? You can't reduce what doesn't exist.
How about making each employee a separate company?
If you can't tell the difference don't worry about it.

And Sunview was the successor to Suntools...
