Not break...."embrace and extend" is the slogan, isn't it?
The nice thing about XML is there IS nothing defined...just the structure of the document. The user can make up whatever they want basically, so long as it is well-formed
Secondly, how much of a song does a phone have to play before it becomes copyright infringement? A bar? A chorus?
If they're referring to the playing of theme songs on phones, does copyright still count even if the phone doesn't contain all (or even most) of the song?
If it does, I think I might just go copyright a few bars of music, and wait for the $$ to roll in..
Not true. With smaller, more modern electronics, it sometimes only takes a very small amount to flip a bit. This is compared to the older larger components (transistors and the like) which would just absorb the radiaton and hold their state.
Hey, my degree in Microelectronics came in usefull for something!
Maybe we're a little slow here in Aus, but the only robot wars we got to ever see were remotely controlled by people.
Robot wars won't really appeal to me until the humans are taken out of the loop. A neural net willing to kill tied to a metal body...now THAT'S entertainment!
Heh, either that, or watching the sportscasters go nuts trying to work out what the robot is thinking...
The point I'm trying to make here is not about vandalism, its about privacy.
Its the difference between having your box hacked by a script kiddie, as opposed to someone breaking in and stealing it.
Its also a pretty serious vandal that would go around ripping up DSL lines....both in equipment and intent. The air equivalent would be someone broadcasting a tone in the DSL frequency range to interfere with transfers.
Wireless DSL is good and everything, but what sort of security is being put on this link? From what it sounds like, it isn't a directional link like most Microwave/Sat links...its more like radio.
I know that there are a lot of good encryption techniques out there, and that they're widely adopted, but I still like the idea of having the privacy of a wire line, which not every freak-with-an-antenna can pick up.
I thought that the major processor companies had been working with multiple execution pipelines for years now. Doesn't that fall under the category of ILP?

So..before getting attacked by "correlation != causation"...
Does this mean that ThinkGeek is the fountain of youth? (Bawls, Jolt, mints...you name it)

Is the company that makes it called RinSpeed, or RINDspeed?
Second one sounds more appropriate, doesn't it?
-Scott
First off IANAL.

If you were in Amsterdam, why would you need to collect pr0n? :P
Spare a thought for us poor Australians. We've only got a choice of two major media corporations.....
;)
Thats outside of the Government news service, but they wouldn't be biased, would they?
Script Kiddies? Nah, we're looking for intelligent extra-terrestrial life ;P

According to this law, they will only have to get one more atom to dance every 18 months...

Also, will the software industry be able to keep pace, writing bloated code to run on these things?

In answer to your question, "What can a single 400MHz machine do to make the average household 10% happier?" - Everything.
Name one common everyday application (excluding games) that can't be run on a 400MHz system?
Likewise, name one common everyday application that requires a GeForce2 to run.
It has always been Games pushing the envelope of consumer-level computing power, and it always will be for some time to come.
I'd like to see how far you'd get these days trying to import "moon dust". :)
What did it cost the government to bring it back? $100,000 a gram? Must be some good stuff!
