apparently the CRTC pre-empted it and put some "canadian content" on instead. oh well... i got the thing from apple's site within 10 minutes so i didn't miss out.
sony's probably (hopefully) looking at linux on the ps2 to be a useful way to introduce further iterations of psx technology as "home stations" (sic) rather exclusively gaming consoles. sure, not many people are going to buy a ps2 just to put linux on it, but the consumer electronics movement is moving towards a One Box solution... it will provide TV, movies on demand, broadband access, etc.
microsoft knows this and is trying to further their monopoly with the x-box and the future homestation. they have the advantage of already having an operating system and development platform to put on it... sony doesn't. they're likely looking to linux to provide competition for microsoft on that front. by porting linux, they allow for a large amount of already-existing software to run on the PS/2 with little or no modification necessary to the existing sources.
you're one semester away from graduation? man, stick through it. i went through something similar a year and a half ago, and while I don't regret taking the time off, it's damn-near impossible to find a job in computer science without a degree these days... or even a piece of paper at all.
what do you want to do for a career in CS? program (heh)? be a sysadmin? research? if research is your bag then pour on the work and get those marks for graduate school! grad school may be where your dreams come true...
... but for the love of [anything] GET THAT PIECE OF PAPER!
are there any software design courses offered at your school?
while i was at university, i found myself embroiled in a lot of competition with other students, but i was the biggest source of it. i personally find it rather difficult to trust someone else's code, especially when we're graded on style, when my marks are on the line and my name goes in on the project. of course, most software is written in a team, so i'll have to learn somewhere.
this problem of mine eventually led to a burnout and i'm currently "between schools"... what was offered at my old university is a course in software design where you were forced to work on a project as a team, and it was much more involved than most group projects. i was waiting to take it in my fourth year (which never came) and i certainly regret it. it would have helped a great deal.
i think courses like this are being offered at more schools each year if they're not already common. people like me are all too common in this field...
...getting old, but you could copy it thru either the digital cables or the analog cables onto your comp and then burn it... this is just an annoyance for informed consumers.
As most/. readers know, the United States is not the only country in the world. How does Judge Kaplan's ruling in this case affect those of us in other countries (Canada, for example)?
It's important to keep in mind that a Trojan is not the same as a virus.
A virus is a self-replicating piece of machine code that usually attaches itself to the end of executables. It does not have to be malicious. It merely has to be able to replicate itself and spread. Just like a real virus.
A Trojan, on the other hand, is a program (not necessarily self-replicating) that piggybacks along with a familiar, trusted program. Malicious hackers and computer criminals have been using Trojans to propagate malicious code on other systems since computers and criminals met each other.
Viruses are often Trojan'd onto familiar programs as a method of introducing them into a system, but once there, they take care of spreading themselves.
...just as 2600 said after being hit with their first injunction:
As we've stated repeatedly, this is NOT about piracy of DVDs as the MPAA wishes the public to believe. It's about ACCESS CONTROL - in other words, the ability to play the DVDs that YOU'VE BOUGHT on the machine or platform of your choice. We challenge the MPAA to deny this.
I'm not too anxious to get TPM on DVD yet, but the Star Wars classic trilogy (or even all six) on DVD all at once would be a nice thing to have.
Especially if Lucas actually does want to release a good set...The Shining in the Kubrick Collection is terrible; it has mono sound and no letterbox format.:( If Lucas puts the trilogy on DVD with the option to view it in letterbox (widescreen) or in pan-and-scan (edited), I'd be happy. If Lucas adds the option to view the Special Edition changes or to turn them off, I'd be VERY happy. I'll wait for them to come out.
Besides, we want II and III to be good. Then again, I suppose there's no guanrantee they will be with Lucas's full attention...
Yeah, it doesn't really seem like something that would happen. Then again, I wasn't instrumental in reverse-engineering CSS and I don't live in Norway.
I honestly can't see what this will accomplish...unless there's more [sic] here than what there seems to be. I honestly don't think so, but what could possibly be the motivation for bully-tactics like this, unless they want people like us to find out about it and get scared. That's a good idea. Revolutions have *never* been started by people under oppression...
Actually, it depends a lot on the prevailing winds...there's a lot of radioactive dust and such that was carried around afterwards...depending on where you are (I'm in Canada), it *could* be your problem...
"Historically, the Church has a reputation as an aggressive competitor, leading crusades to pressure people to upgrade to Catholicism, and entering into exclusive licensing arrangements in various kingdoms whereby all subjects were instilled with Catholicism, whether or not they planned to use it..."

It is a pretty terrible change though.

it wasn't on Global on the Canadian east coast, apparently it wasn't on FOX Rochester either.
...
at least, not the FOX we get

but i'm not a nethack dude, so it's not for me.

all sound ridiculous to me. sure, he may own the ideas, but who's going to implement them?
ok, let me rephrase this: who in the open-source world is going to implement them? what will the IETF have to say?
i'm not worried one little bit.

It makes sense. In fact, wouldn't you be worried if they didn't?
I've been told by a friend of a paramedic that he heard ... that in about 3 years head/spine transplants may be a reality.
far fetched, perhaps, and no proof to offer...but it poses an interesting quesiton.
The TNT2 chipset is actually a TNT chipset made a lot smaller (0.25 micron), so I guess it depends on the drivers.
