Sure. Enforce a lockout.
Prevent me from changing the OS | upgrading to a more durable switch | putting in a more durable relay because the manufacture abandoned the device or purposefully engineered "planned obsolescence".
Apple has a service. The stuff they were doing wasn't working. So, they use something that works until they can properly perfect their own. Depending how that goes, maybe they won't even finish.
Nothing to see here, move along
A tablet can't match a keyboard, mouse, and monitor for entering information. This is because the keyboard is an efficient means of entry, and has tactile feedback, and you can be looking at what you are doing without your hands occluding part of your view.
What happens if you give a tablet a mouse and a keyboard then with USB-on-the-go like they did with the Nokia N8 (scroll down, look for the picture with the keyboard and mouse attached to the phone).
Yeah, and after awhile, you'd have so much ham you'd want to preserve it (so it'll keep for a long time), repackage it (so no one knows where it originated from) and then resell it as spam (profit!).
I suppose we could do away with the tracers on the mainboard completely. Minaturize the chip so that it can be embedded in the greatest of the required technologies: RAM, CPU, GRAPHICS, SSD. All of these devices would have the range of a few feet - the standard size of a full size atx case. Increase power draw for longer ranges for the display, keyboard and mouse/joystick/gesture pen. Include AES 256bit encryption and aconvient reset button for rematching components. Include a "volunteer" acknowledgement packet wherein if no other device is in range it automatically mates with the closest of components.
Now all I have to figure out is how to include multiprocessor situations, and a negotiation technique for automatic server farms with cloning and failover.
Really? I wanna see that! Lets get Dot to play Leela. Phong will play the professor (Imagine the professor with a chinese accent and speaking in riddles). Bob will have to be Fry I suppose, with like a -100 intelligence. Matrix can play Bender, AndrAIa should be Amy Wong. I think it would be fun to make Megabyte play Zapp Brannigan, and of course Hexidecimal is MoM. SCSI can be Nibbler. And just for kicks we'll have Turbo play Kiff. Lets make lil' Enzo play Kiff's & Amy's offspring...
I had evaluated many-a-free pvr about 1.5 years ago. I explored KnopMyth, MythTV on Ubuntu using packages, LinuxMCE and even Windows Media Center. Iâ(TM)ll tell you that Windows Media Center didnâ(TM)t last because Microsoftâ(TM)s totally anal adherence to the broadcast flag.
Being a geek and an owner of the fabled nForce2 Soundstorm, I wanted to use Dolby Digital Live technology on any and every piece of audio (including 2 channel mp3s) played through the SPDIF connector of my home theater PC to my Dolby Digital Amp. Because of this my choices were pretty limited.
Now, there are Ubuntu âoehow tosâ out there that can help you enable DDL? (multi-channel SPDIF out) under linux. And it actually works pretty well. I ran that for a few months and thats when I discovered that the hard drive I was using was too small + I wanted to evaluate other pvr software.
Vista doesnâ(TM)t support DDL for nForce2/w soundstorm, so Vista was short lived. And through a slashdot post like this one I discovered a Windows based Open Source PVR software from Team-MediaPortal.
MediaPortal allows me to avoid the broadcast flag, continue to use take advantage of proprietary windows drivers (XP on nForce2/w DDL Soundstorm) and be proud to use Open Source (albeit on a proprietary o/s). MediaPortal's community continues to be vibrant and actively developed including windows executable scripts to pull xml tv listings for my area. It's also nice to drop out of tv record mode and play the odd windows game.
Well, KnoppMyth doesn't run as a live CD distro (although I have yet to play with R5D1), and KnoppMyth runs MythTV 0.19 (not 0.20 like MythDora). That would be about the only critical parts you're missing...
I've been trying to get MythTV working on some older hardware (Celeron 1100A, 512MB RAM). My biggest stumbling block has been trying to get sound working - stupid Asus TV/FM 7135 (SAA7134 driver), stupid cheap Audigy SE (CA106 Alsa), annoying blob of NVidia binary drivers. I digress. Anyway, I think I'm getting real close to having the config settings correct.
Yep. Got me one of those. Not cheap when I bought it (99$cdn Walmart special) three years ago, and no WMA format (8.3 dos name MP3 though), PAL & NTSC remote button switchable. But There has yet to be a movie comercial or ad or warning that I couldn't skip over. It is the Audiologic 850 (I know there are letters in there somewheres). Plays DVDs way better than the samsung 611 I bought in 1999. Now if only it only was ffmpeg/divx compatible...
My upgrade from the 4MHz XT to the turbo-charged 10MHz NEC V20 brought those 99+99+99+99 (you heard right, 396) berzerker fight from like a 45 minute battle to 10 minutes.
This fixes and issue with 2003 SP1 (Being the idiot I am I downloaded and installed SP1 and put it on a production machine - because if you don't you leave yourself open) where specific setups revealed a bug in the tcpip.sys driver. I was on the unfortunate end of that suckah, before they had the fix available for download from the website (you had to call M$ support and M$ would send the fix by email). I argued with our vendor who supplied the database for two weeks:
Me: It ain't corperate firewall. It ain't the server's firewall. I can't access the database, but I can ping ip of the database server. When I reboot the database is accessible again. Wtf is wrong? It almost points out a bug in Windows' TCP/IP. Vendor: Dunno. Lets capture packets. Me: Okay. Here's the log. Now, tell me, WTF is wrong? Vendor: Interesting. We don't know what it is, but not our problem. The database isn't causing it. Me: To heck with you. I'm following what I learned from this knowledge base article from a completely different resource.
Viola. All fixed. Do not ever claim that all patches from vendors are polished fixes.
Not too long actually, maybe 15-30seconds tops. Although I do wonder about window focus, I mean, I saw the extra window in my task bar. But it wasn't the open window, but it wasn't until I brought that window up when I saw the javascript buffer fill prompt.
Well, the one on thier website does work, although I needed to remove IE pop-up blocker before it would. It takes a while, but eventually did cause IE to crash and launch calc.exe. The page referenced from the article, I copied the source into notepad, but cannot get work with from IIS in XP Pro (not that it matters, this is a javascript vunerability after all), not sure why...

Dang.. I'm sure I'm forgetting something!
This will be a reboot of Futurama ...

Of course, this is plenty open to changes...
Can I have my native 64 Bit build now please?
No one has mentioned "Savage, Battle for Newerth". Has windows, Linux, and MAC downloadable binaries.

Are there no prisons? Are there no work houses?
Thanks! This is just what I've been looking for!
You don't know that many other geeks, do you?
True, but then how many of these current Linux distributions can really run ont a P2 400MHz /w 64 or 128Megs of RAM?
Hurry, everyone buy Micron stock NOW!!!

Agreed. I also disagree on the point where company patches aren't beta or thouroughly tested: Case & Point, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack One.
