Agreed, but it's more complicated than that. Even if they'd get slightly more sales from this, it would hurt them legally and as I mentioned, it would give the public a good example of what fair use is. That would hurt them more than it would help.
It's a bad precedent. It gives us (geeks) an example that we can use to explain to normal people what "fair use" means. If such a DVD player were common people might understand what fair use is exactly.
Of course it's not very feasible, but I was just talking in theory. Using enough pen and paper or some beads or whatever he needs, anyone can follow any code he wants, including chess code. Why can't the programmer just follow his own code and win that way, given enough time?
Given enough time, the programmer could just follow his own code and win that way. I think for someone just following code, more time would be much more valuable than for someone like kasparov. I think for a human (using a brain, not following code) there is a certain amount of time that anything beyond that provides no additional benefit. In other words, taking 5 days instead of 4 days for a human offers no additional advantage. It does for a computer.
In fact, I'm a big supporter of public transportation. I vote for it whenever I have a chance. I don't drive, and I take public transportation everywhere.
That's not true, it's bullshit. The hard drives in the xbox have a special chip that identifies itself as an xbox drive. Maybe you can hack a regular hard drive to make it seem like an xbox drive, but it's not as simple as just installing a new drive.
When you say "USians" are you referring to citizens of the United States of Mexico, or the United States of America? If you meant the former, they're called Mexicans. If you meant the latter, they're called Americans.
Yet the entire field of chemistry uses CGS units. As in, centimeters, grams and seconds.
Even if your units are more standard, they just don't have any meaning to anyone. 2.5 Pb/m^2? That really has no meaning to me. (For a second I thought you were talking about lead.)
Yes, of course, and they returned 7 years later after destroying the galaxy-wide network of borg controlled wormholes. I think I saw a documentary on it.
Someone should propose legislation for banning cellphone use in public places like restaurants, pubs, buses and trains
They already have in NYC.
I don't even mind people talking on trains as long as they talk low like the way you'd talk to someone next to you. I REALLY HATE it when people yap and yap at 3 times normal speaking volume.

Why would they use signed ints to store address locations? And even if they did, they could still have 4GB.

Okay, maybe. Tell me what you mean. I figured that if you gave the program more time it could come up with a better move.

Read the other posts in this story. Sensors in the road which can pick up RFIDs are a real threat to privacy. Serial numbers or barcodes are not.
A barcode on the tire would also do just fine. You can't track a barcode with radio waves like you can with RFID.
I can't figure out how to play divx on mac os x, can you help me out? I installed the decoder from divx.com but it won't work properly.
Frankly I wish cars would cease to exist.
Yes, me too. Check out this website, and the book on the site.

Sorry, I don't understand it either. I also think it seems to contradict itself.
Yeah, you're right. I thought I read that. I guess I remembered wrong or something.
I don't really understand what you mean. Can you explain?
Very cool, I didn't know that. Thanks.

Upshot does not mean "good part". It means, "skipping all the details, the end result is..."
Upshot means end result or something like that.
This has nothing to do with patents.

You do know that Voyager is a fictional Starship, right?
