I wonder if this applies to Family Pack owners. After all, since I have 5 Macs, you can bet one of them doesnt have a DVD drive. I'm going to ask for the CD's for my (insert mac without a DVD drive)
Here's Nasa's close Brayton Cycle unit http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/RT2002/5000/5490 mason. html
Only 24% of the thermal heat from the reactor is converted to electricity, but then that's probably pretty good for a closed cycle unit. No good heatsinks in space.
All the parts on a motherboard are installed by pick and place machines. I wouldn't be surprised to find that on high volume runs, no human hands ever touch the board or any of the parts on it.
A big part of the cost is hazardous waste disposal. In the US you have to deal with all the lead and chemicals used in PCB manufacturing, in China, they basically flush it down the drain.
The best way to fix the problem would be if all that stolen information got published on FTP or USENET or torrents. The outcry from 1 million people would finally get things fixed, especially if some of them were of the elite class.
So, info theives.. You up to it? Steal as much personal info as you can, and publish it. The free-for-all should be fun to watch.
It's the one thing tha most annoys me about Google News.
I'd like to filter out all the sites that require some sort of registration to view them. If Google did that and made it prominant, a lot of those sites might change their policy since poeple would be ignoring them. If not, then too bad for them.
This thing has tons of wasted space inside. The CPU location blocks the use of higher performance video cards and there's all this empty space up on the CPU board area. Yeah, it's got a nice VFD (vacuum florescent display),
but it only works with the latest OSs from Microsoft. This is still a desktop form factor machine, you cant put it into your stereo rack,
and it wont go on the floor either. You cant put anything on top of it because it will block the CPU fan.

Fansubbers Under Fire

Under the Berne convention, everything copyrightable is copyrighted by default. You don't have to include a (c) either. The copyright is equally valid in all signing countries, which is ~100 nations, and all of the important ones. This post is copyrighted in the US and Japan. So is yours. It's as simple as that.
But it's shown on TV in Japan, so it really is freely available. Any local otaku who might have ever bought this has already taped it or can get it from thier otaku friends (they travel in packs, you know..)
Re: DVD prices, they are the real reason why anime doesnt sell, who's going to pay $120 for a 1/2 season show? Or $500 for something like Full Metal Alchemist that went to 54 eps? Or the $1000+ that LoGH would command?
The only hope for sales in that price range is to people who have seen the entire fansubbed series and want the high quality DVDs. I've never bought any Anime series that I've not seen in it's entirety fansubbed. That includes OVAs as well, although some of them I saw in the theater first. (and wish the DVD was as good, but they dont compare to film)
I can see the others, but Genshiken? AFAIK there's only the 12 episodes and the subject is hardcore Otaku culture. How many people are going to even understand it outside of japan.
Non-Otaku that is.. After all, it didnt even make it for a full season there. It has it's moments, but now way is anyone going to pay $7-10 an episode for it, which is what the typical DVD set costs here in the US.
I guess paying for DSS TV service must really bum you out, after all you bought the dish and reciever, the nerve of them expecting you to pay for the content. You pay for Internet Service, but you bought the firewall and your ethernet card...
What Tivo owners are paying for is the directory service and database compilation that makes the search functions of the Tivo useful. If you want to use it as a simple PVR, yuo can buy a 1st generation box, they had enabled that feature. If you buy a Series2, you buy it knowing that it does not work without purchase of the Tivo Service. It says so on the Box. Tivo does not charge by the Gig, you can upgrade all models without incurring any extra charges.
All but a very small minority of Tivo owners will continue to buy the serive as long as it is available at it's current pricing and features. What will kill them is if they disable commercial fast-forwards or jack the price or do some sort of pay per view for previously recorded shows. The second they do that they are dead.
MythTV is free if you value your time. I dont have time to program or manually search for things to watch. I also dont have the interest to mess with building a linux box just to watch TV, for that, I'll buy a tivo and it's service and get on with working and playing with more interesting things.
I've got a better solution.. gather up as much of thier seeds and fly over as many fields as possible and distribute the seeds over them, eventually you'll pullute the entire soybean crop of a nation with thier IP. at that point something will be done to solve the impasse.
He did say the Pu was BURIED and encased in an RTG, his kids would be grown and moved on before the RTG case corroded enough to release any alpha-emitting metal, in anycase, it's still not going to be a particulate which is where Pu becomes really dangerous. And even then it's BURIED!
Now if it were a gamma emitter, well that's a very different story.
It's not really security, it's just the lines for the ticket counters. Kind of usefull really, if you live close to the airport, just check in, see how long the lines are and adjust your schedule accordingly.

I think better might be your local legislator's office,or local megacorp's executive office.
What happens to ordinary citizens means nothing to them, but when it affects those with money or power, that's when things happen...
Espcecially if part of "almost nothing" is a 302 redirect. Well, that's something, but it's really "almost nothing", but it's not ABSOLUTELY nothing.
I cant give away my music to my friends.
I can give away or sell my used CD's
I cant lend DRM'd music to someone.
I can lend a CD.
If the future of music is DRM, then these
activities will no longer be legal.

I'll concur with the review, I saw that book at Frys last night and took a look at it.
Waste of paper.. is my opinion.
Which makes it a perfect way to get out of jury duty.
If you really want to monkeywrench, tell everyone
in your Jury Pool to say "I'm in favor of Jury Nullification in cases where it is a appropriate"
IMO of course.. :)

There.. I just 'stole' your post..
How does this work with satellite radio?
I dont see any of the Sirius channels, nor any way
to tune and timeshift a Sirius show.
But it's shown on TV in Japan, so it really
is freely available. Any local otaku who might
have ever bought this has already taped it or can
get it from thier otaku friends (they travel in packs, you know..)

They just left out the final words.. ... tested and documented ... to do absolutely nothing.
Turbo-WiMax of course
But not better than my DirecTiVo..
And it doesnt have dual DSS tuners either.
Oh and it didnt cost $99
ok, $12 a month, ya got me there, why that's 2 whole hours of billings vs how many hours to setup Myth?
For the shows that I want to keep, there's bittorrent.
But Myth is a cool hack and all that, maybe someone will start selling a complete system for somewhere around $250 or so..

Sounds like a repeat of the iOpener business plan to me. And we all know what happened to them :)
