According to the minutes of the selection committe. "The company will provide a large screen machine that has been used in the Netherlands and in Cologne and Düsseldorf in Germany."
So looks like its already in use in Germany dude...sorry
A source close to Government Intelligence services in the UK said: "This is complete cobblers. For a start, the suggestion that there's a shortage of standard PC hardware in Iraq is silly. PCs are commodities like cars and washing machines, and they can get as many PIII and P4 PCs as they like, sanctions or no sanctions".
I feel I should make a WMD joke here...but I won't.
The first Australian Computer: was developed in 1946 - and one of only four in the world at the time.
If you really want to consider the speed of technology - check out how American Cell phone market penetration compares to Australian Cell phone market penetration
I think I might be able to fit a few more computers in to my bedroom. Bring 'em on I say!
Hmmmmmmmn, I'm going to take a punt & presume you're from Central Europe.
According to the Australian Postal Service's site a 20kg parcel to zone 5 is going to cost minimum $AUD116 - I imagine they can buy a few months of storage for that.
He's using a lathe plugged into the mains to supply the kinetic energyy to make the magnets rotate. (Using mains electricity to generate electricity)
I know he's just doing that for the sake of experimentation, but it would have been nice to see some real world figures (ie using wind/water to supply the kinetic energy)
Is that Software has to be updated every few years. Software makers don't expect to pay coders a flat fee to produce a product and sit on the profits for the next 70+ years.
Movie makers do. They pay artists a flat fee to make a movie, grab all copyrights & sell the movie for the next 70+ years.
So - Software makers dont *need* DRM as much as movie makers.
We're going to have to wait for (or force) a change in the (frankly corrupt) Hollywood business model.
Interesting. This site defines techno as "styles of dance music" derived from the prefix techno (as in technology)
If however you were talking about the prefix rather then the word, you are still incorrect.
Techne the greek word the prefix techno comes from, is generally accepted to mean the systematic treatment (ie industrialisation) of arts/crafts (including building, manufacturing, etc) or just skill.
The idea that it is literally just "art" is one propounded by undergraduate lecturers who haven't the slightest idea about greek culture.
By the way - Whilst we're on definitions - here is a definition for engineer: 2. One who operates an engine.
So any Arts student who rides to school is already an engineer.

The bottom line is that it's social issues that will block the way to Video on Demand.
Technology wise, we should have had AOD (Audio on Demand) about three years ago. We had the codecs, we had the bandwidth, we had a variety of server/client technologies to deliver.
We even had some AOD trials similar to Disney's VOD service you mention.
But the music industry lost its nerve & we've ended up with the mess we have now.

Aibo's don't have enough memory to run linux
A href="http://computers.cnet.com/hardware/0-16332-
Features: 64-bit RISC processor, 32 MB built-in memory
32 megs not enough for you?
Nice looking watch
Look at loads of pics from thinkgeek here
Believe it or not, the engineers predicted your pervert ways during the design phase
heh
lol
Hmmmmn
I wonder if I can get someone else's Aibo to wander round looking up skirts, watching peoples banking passwords, etc etc
I'm sure anyone able to forge email headers are looking foward to this.
sigh...
I'm Australian and I'll bite.

Thanks for the offer tho'
It's in Sydney.
You find it buried on this page - looks like its currently at a self storage center in Sydney. (Near where the olympic village was).
Why post an Auscentric article like this to a USian site is beyond me, but for those interested, the map is here
True, but the point is that hard drive magnets are very cheap for the magnetic field they produce.

Unfortunately that judgement preceded the DMCA by about 15 years.
The law has changed since then.
With any luck however, the judge will understand the insanity of limiting fair use.
An item such as a DVD copier has a multitude of non-piracy (aar me hearties) uses.
made out of material which won't melt or dissolve in the iron
Well...thats easy then
FUD FUD FUD!
The US fully complied with the agreement.

jhunsake - that is the single most ill-informed statement I've read on
I *was* going to slap you down, but I can see a million people have allready. Convincingly enough to make you retreat from this thread.
Goddamnit! I wish I hadn't used all my mod points. +4 insightful. What a joke.

Is the Motion Picture industry any different?
Yup.
It's really hard to fake that login information to.
I mean there's nowhere in the world where you can use a computer anonymously? Right?
Morality is a luxury many people can not afford.
Fortunately, anonymity is a luxury everyone can afford.
There's no reason that the media couldn't have been tipped off earlier with an email from disgruntled_employees@hotmail.com.
Don't use morality as an exuse for their timidity.
Yup. Thanks for that.
The article text is really helpful without screenshots.
Thanks for parsing out the carriage returns too...
After all one nice big clean block of text looks much neater hey?
Moderators - give the parent plenty of points for this
The guy should do something worthwhile with his bucks
Like maybe donate money to save forests? or to "sustain" the Seti Project? and severl other things.

Yawn.
Its not anywhere near as wll thought out as the GPL.
