Anyway, i can think of two reason for them ,
1) To stop people record a movie , and acting like its a gunine copy.
2) To stop other chanells nicking their stuff. Over here in Ireland they often show stuff from Sky Sports on the news (with permission i am sure), but there is no doubth where is from with the Big Sky Sports logo on the screen.

"An important note for those who have downloaded iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X:
Apple has identified an installer issue with iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X that affects a limited number of systems running Mac OS X with multiple volumes (drives or partitions) mounted. For those systems, running the iTunes 2.0 installer can result in loss of user data. While this error is highly unlikely to affect most users, Apple strongly advises that anyone who has downloaded the 2.0 version of iTunes for Mac OS X, as well as anyone who has a beta version of iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X, immediately remove the iTunes.pkg installer file from their system. A new version that corrects this issue, iTunes 2.0.1 for Mac OS X, is now available from this page. Users who have already installed iTunes 2.0 without incident do not need to reinstall iTunes 2.0.1, but they should still immediately remove the 2.0 installer file from their system. This issue does not affect users of iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS 9."
Its like they are saying , its out fault , honest....
That's like saying we are not responsible that the car you bough has a design flaw, which causes it to blow up... but were not responsible.... really , i swear...
"To accomplish the visual effects, Weta has put together an impressive array of computer firepower that includes 150 SGI Octane workstations, as well as 80 SGI dual processor 330 and 230 series Linux workstations. Two SGI Origin 2000s serve as the primary file servers for the facility, and Weta has also installed a TP9400 RAID storage array. "
This is some amount for kit. Would a Beowulf type setup be less costly, or provide more headaches.
"Nevertheless, it must be said that the facts as shown in the video remain plausible and can be reproduced at any time. At the moment, none of the mainboard manufacturers offer a solution to this. Even highly reputable companies such as Asus and Gigabyte offer no support for this particular problem. "
How are they going to pay for the bandwidth cos on this...if evan just 1000 people download it (and it has been slashdotted) then it will 5.8 Terabytes of information to be downloaded.
Is there anyone working on any type of decent digital video system. There must be alot of capacity in a standard vhs casset. Could it be used with the HDTV system to encode + compress the data. To then play back on your pc.
Slashdot Mirror
That would be more then enough to pay for dsl connection in the UK.
But what about Europe , i am heading dates like Q4 2002 at this stage... its getting redulicious.
Also , with the XBOX and GC comming out , isn't it irion that sonys campain for the PS2 is call The Third Place.
"had the game chugging along nicely on a Pentium 2 powered 300Mhz PC equipped with a TNT2 graphics accelerator"
How come games like this can not be designed to run on older pc's. As these graphics look like they would need at lease 600mhz running on a normal pc.
"Solar panels costing $20,000 apiece? The students used the panels that power emergency phones in deserts and national parks. Cost: $25 each."
And people ask why nasa runs over buget so often.
Would the Game Boy Advance be a better platform for this. Is has alot more power , resolutions , colours then the GBC.
I there any plans to stop this first post c##p in the code. I have not looked at the code, but i know there is some type of lameness filter.

That sounds like IBM trying to be "cool". They heard all the kids are doing this open source thing , let join it.
There is only two type of software schedules
1) As long as it takes.
2) Take your best estimate , and double it and add 5 or something....
It prefer the as long as it takes. Other wise you end up with something like Windows Me.

Great if you haven't just lost 100gb of data.

People are only divied when there is no outsiders. When a country is invalded any squabbling between states/counties is forgoton about.
I would guarantee that if Aliens landed in the morning it would mean instant globalization , becuase there would be an outsider.
"The scramjet needs to reach Mach-5 to start working"...
This isn't too practile... need to be moving very fast to start working

Evan bill gates pays by the gb of bandwidth.....no as much as us... but its not free....
How are they going to pay for the bandwidth cos on this...if evan just 1000 people download it (and it has been slashdotted) then it will 5.8 Terabytes of information to be downloaded.
This won't exaclty be payed for by a banner ad.
'sploit ridden, 5.8GB of intrusion collusion ever published. Free for the bandwidth endowed'
... on a 56k modem ,(if my math is correct) , then thats about 10 days...
You would need alot of and bandwidth and evan more time on your hand to evan start on.
Now , let my see
Is there anyone working on any type of decent digital video system. There must be alot of capacity in a standard vhs casset. Could it be used with the HDTV system to encode + compress the data. To then play back on your pc.
