Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Defense Dept. help develop the current IPv4 system decades ago? If so, they've (the Pentagon) had a part in the Internet for a long whiles now.
Okay, so Phoenix was renamed to avoid legal problems with the Phoenix BIOS people. Now I'm wondering whether we'll see more name changes to avoid legal problems from the Firebird people or the Thunderbird people.
Maybe that's why they're going to show the trailers for The Matrix Revolution and The Lord of the Rings after the 9 minute-long credits for the Matrix Reloaded. They were probably thinking the same thing.
* got this info from a friend who's editing the movies.
Officemax has the HP Laserjet 1200 as an end-of-life product that's selling for $199. If they're out, just go to or order from Staples. They'll price match it for you plus give you 10% of the difference which would make it $179. Just got one myself. Not a bad price at all. It's end-of-life because it's being replaced by the Laserjet 1300. And the cartridges aren't too bad either.
It's got PostScript Level 2 emulation and 45 scalable fonts plus 35 PostScript fonts built-in. Should be fine.
"If sales levels remain basically unchanged then they're going to have to admit that either:
a) people weren't pirating much anyway
or
b) their copyprotection doesn't work."
or
c) piracy is still rampant (or has increased) therefore the RIAA will need to develop and implement a stronger and more secure means to protect their profits.
I hardly doubt AMD would promote this. Why? Because currently if you overclock your processor and then fry it, you'll void your warranty. If AMD were to promote this, then they'd be forced to cover all those fried processors -- an unnecessary and unwanted expense.
" Windows crashing is simply a power saving feature."
I think that's why "less than one percent" of their call volume is in relation to bugs. It's because MS insists that they're features. Just like the one in Word 97, 2000, and 2002 which "could permit a clever cracker to steal copies of files on your hard drive."
So this must mean that over 99% of their call volume is in regard to "features." Yeah, that's it!
The fastest dual processor Mac has been soundly thumped by one of the fastest single processor PCs. If this report had included a dual processor PC, the PC's margin of victory could have been even greater (at least in the multitasking tests, and for other PC software that may be optimized for multiple processors). Even the Dell, a modestly equipped desktop by current standards, matches or bests the dual 1.25GHz desktop Mac in numerous benchmarks. And the recently discontinued Powerbook G4/800 trails by a significant margin throughout.
Unlimited? Geez, no wonder they're losing money. The first mistake was raising the price. The second was making the talk time unlimited. I haven't used a payphone since it cost $0.25 a call.
For the price of the Samsung ($10,000 CDN / $6,400 US) I can get 2 of the Gateway 42" Plasma displays ($2,999 US). And they both have more or less the same specs:
42" across
16:9 aspect ratio
160 Degree viewing angle
852x480 resolution progressive scan display
Same Dimensions
700:1 contrast ratio [Samsung] vs. 600:1 Contrast Ratio [Gateway]
"If AT&T (or MCI) wanted to provide their new dial-tone customer with DSL, they could do so," said (SBC) spokesman John Britton. "In fact, one would think they would be eager to generate more revenue from the access line they just won over."
Couldn't the same be said of SBC? I mean, if SBC continued to provide DSL service to those customers, then they too would "generate more revenue" than if they were to just hand it over to AT&T or MCI. Is it greed? Or do they just want to control our means of communication? They can't have it both ways.

There's also a write up of this over at wired news.

This looks somewhat similar to Mobil's Speedpass, no?
Exactly how much more power do they really need, especially when they've got things like the Patriot Act and the proposed Son of Patriot Act?
Actually, the software was *not* designed to be used to publicly stream music. It *was* designed, however, to allow users to access *their* "personal music library from any room in your house or over the internet from work to home."
So if anyone's to be blamed, blame those who are mis-using this feature. Apple's just distributing and supporting "software, the users of which can and do choose to employ it for both lawful and unlawful ends" .
Um, that's actually a feature. When you close the screen, that's the same as putting it into Sleep mode.
What, no airbags? What'll save us when it (Windows) crashes?

I don't mind the stroke as long as I don't end up a fat bastard.
You forgot about Mac OS X

Yup. Kinda like "Bond, James Bond."
Shouldn't that read: "The telcos interfered too much," and that's why we don't have it here in the U.S. yet?
Yes, Arizona Republican.

I thought that's what .com was for?
