I'm not talking about the software on the CD or floppy. I'm talking about the software withing the cuecat that turns a bunch of lines into a
bunch of alphanumerics.
Ahh, I see what you mean. I guess they need to put the EULA inside the microcode on the Cuecat in the next revision?;)
The retreat of the traditional firm and the rise of the guilds definitely mark a new phase in the
history of work. What nobody knows yet is whether this new flexibility is a great step forward for
individualism or another heartless Darwinian profit-making tool of the new corporation. If history is
any guide, it's probably a bit of both.
Your understanding is wrong. The issue with Digital Convergence here is that they WANT you to use their software, and by using your own software with the Cuecat you're infringing on their IP (or so they claim). It's the hardware that they have an issue with.
you can't seem to argue against my logic though.

Kuro5hin Update
·
· Score: 1
a little slow with your reply there, champ.
The saddest part is that you bothered to go through all your old posts to check for replies. Too much time on your hands, kid, or just not enough friends?
n any case, you missed my point, and that's ok, you're yet another one of those gimps who thinks/. and/or kuro5hin have anything
intelligent going on within their walls:P
Yet you continue coming back on slashdot, for the same reason that I even bother to reply your post.
(I'll go with all lower cases just so ebbv can understand it better, since he had such an issue with Carnage4Life's mispelled "auther")
i'm sorry, but, ebbv or however you pronounce that name, is a boring and silly little kid.
am we going to start having to wade through every single post by ebbv? i say we bitchslap him so we don't have to read his posts again.
on the other hand, i suppose we can just ignore his posts. but then again, ebbv seems to have such a problem scrolling past news with websites that he has a personal vendetta against.
To point out that the worlds biggest GNU/Linux zealot's personal website uses FreeBSD.
Well, you certainly got the wrong person. Stallman isn't the world's biggest GNU/Linux zealot. In fact, he has told everyone to think of Linux as something to use in the meantime while HURD is still in the making.
Together with the ease of buying with one-click-shopping at Amazon, can you imagine what they can do to exploit customers that are just plain loyal to Amazon and not care about the prices?
Right now, I bet they are keeping track of customers that are buying their products irregardless of the price (the price is marked up way higher than other stores). Now that they realize that the customer doesn't care too much about the price As Long As It's Amazon, it systematically marks up every product that customer sees with another $10-20 bucks. Quick easy cash eh?
Isn't this a little like that telephone company called "I don't care" that charges outrageous monthly rates?
It can also run other OS's such as Solaris or OS2.
Interestingly enough, if you look at the product specs for VMWare, Solaris and OS/2 are not listed as supported OSes. I browsed the VMWare newgroups a while ago, and they mentioned that they don't plan on support OS/2 for sure (I don't know what their stance is now).
Dude there's a +50 karma cap. What the heck do I care about whether my posted is moderated up or down?
Karma aside, getting moderated up is a "pat in a back" by moderators for some people. Even so, (I'm not calling you a karma whore), why did you expect to get out of whining about *predicting* people will moderate you down?
So this means I cannot make observations based on the evidence that is available for all to see?
Heck, you can make observations based on NO evidence if you want. Just that your observation based on the facts accessible by you thus far about Transmeta probably can't be treated seriously...
Looks to me like Transmeta jumped the gun on their speculative announcements and have realized they cannot put their money where their mouth is. Unfortunately since this is Slashdot
and Linus works there, its likely that this post will get moderated down and even though people here slaughter Intel when it comes to bad news, this will be glossed over. *sigh*
If I am a moderator now, I would moderate your post down simply because you're exploiting reverse-psychology by whining about how this post will be moderated down.
since you don't attend Transmeta board meetings, I'm sure they know a lot of things that you don't know...
why not fully kill the dependence of cell phones with their cell phone providers. While having tiny smart-cards (that contains your account information) that you can swap in and out of cell phones is just starting in california, it has been around in Asia for FOUR years.
With those tiny smart-cards, it's trivial for anyone to trade in old cell phones for new ones, and it breaks the current phone companies monopoly, since currently there's a pretty darn high barrier of entry to switch phone providers (you have to get a new phone if you want to switch from ATT to Verizon).
For $30 US a month, you can get 2000 minutes in Hong Kong. Cheaper service means more customers, which means a larger market for cell phones.
It is illegal to have any portion of the "egg" song contain the copyrighted work. If those making eggs used the real song they could be banned and are just as guilty of breaking the law as any other user.
Then the illegal songs should fit right in;)

What if China decides to hold back their modifications and make Red Flag Linux proprietery? How well does the GPL stand in China?
Problem is that we don't even know yet if the GPL holds in the US, and just because it holds in the US, doesn't mean the Chinese government will play by the rules.

How do you know they know anything at all about crypto?
Oh please. I'm not even going to argue why mathematic professors not specializing in algorithms and crytpography would touch crypto. You might as well say "how do you know if they really got their PHDs?"
We are smart people here. John fucking Carmack posts here from time to time. I'm no John Carmack, but I've got a good mind and I know how to use it. So, yeah, why shouldn't we be able to?
Too bad smart people wouldn't doubt Brown professors based on their lack of access to a white paper. So I'm pretty sure that person wasn't a smart person.

Since everyone's DNA is different, how do we determine which part is what makes us unique, which part is changable (to a certain extent to make us humans "compatible") and which part is disposable DNA? Was the genome a replica of a caucasian, asian, black, or a bit of each?

Depends on what kind of family... I have enough electrical appliances in my dorm room to drain out a couple of third-world country power plants...

$118 certainly sounds a little too less. I wonder if that's even enough to pay for one meal of a UMG executive?
Or do you mean $118 MILLION? ;)

Actually, I think the title meant that Hotmail is going to collapse under its load soon, ("about to"), since it's switching to Win2k.
ahhhh. Cute humor, too bad it was badly phrased ;)
