It is a PS3 peripheral that allows remote access of the PS3 it does not play PS3 games and uses the PS3 Internet connection to access the Sony store.
It is like using a PSP to access the PS3.
Sony might as well make a PSP based phone that accesses the PS3 as well as play downloaded PSP games to compete with the iPhone, which would make better sense.
It was the Intel 8088 chip not the 8080 chip used in the IBM PC and PC Clones.
MS-DOS was not reverse engineered, it was originally IBM PC-DOS and Microsoft released the MS-DOS to work with IBM PC clones that had reverse engineered the IBM PC BIOS. MS-DOS used GWBASIC.COM to replace the IBM BASICA.COM that used the IBM PC BIOS and wouldn't work on PC Clones.
Some say MS-DOS and IBM PC-DOS which was based on 86-DOS/Q-DOS was really a reverse engineered DRI CP/M-86 with some commands renamed to be more user friendly and moved into RAM instead of the floppy disk. DRI later on released DR-DOS to compete with MS-DOS. Anyway DRI lost the DOS wars and when they tried to make a competitor to Windows named GEM, they got sued by Apple and had to change the way it looked.
I remember one company I worked for in 1995 had registered a domain name for themselves and then asked us PC Specialists to register:
walmart.com kmart.com sears.com
etc Domain names as well, as they were vendors that the company sold tools and fans to via agreements. We told them that the domain names had already been taken and most popular names are owned by their owner, or someone else cybersquatted on them and sold them to the trademarked owner.
I'll bet the vendors wouldn't have liked it that management tried to register their domain names.
I still own domain names for companies I founded or tried to found, and from time to time someone tries to make an offer but doesn't give me a dollar amount. The names are unique for I founded them in the late 1990's, but other companies started to use the same name as imitators/competitors in the 21st century. I might be sitting on a gold mine if they make me a good offer for them.
now Mickey Mouse can team up with Spider-Man and become an honorary Avenger.
Imagine the Disney Mickey Mouse characters in Marvel super hero costumes as part of some Cartoon movie spoof on Marvel's Avengers or something?
I guess Disney and Pixar movies will have Marvel characters in them now, followed by more merchandising and video games than ever before. Marvel vs. Disney fighting movies, Kingdom Hearts sequels will have not only Disney but Marvel characters in them.
Maybe the Red Hulk will turn out to be Peg Leg Pete or one of the Beagle Boys?
Darkwing Duck will follow Howard the Duck to the Marvel Universe and get his own Marvel comic book.
In the Marvel universe a few of the alternative Earths will be Disney Earths now.
Oracle is just licensing the Sun hardware to HP so that HP becomes a Sun OEM and Oracle can outsource the Sun server and Solaris work to HP and save money?
HP is looking for a way to earn more income, if they make a deal with Oracle to make their Sun hardware they can boost their server profits by selling SPARC and Intel servers.
Also didn't Sun at least make Intel based servers as well as SPARC based ones?
Sun had a deal with Next, Inc. to make OpenStep, maybe HP is buying out the Openstep IP that Sun owned along with the Sun server sale/license? Maybe HP can develop the OpenStep API and GUI into something better for SunOS and Solaris as well as OpenSolaris. HP might want to use all OpenStep IP to make a Mac OSX type server OS that is easier to use and configure to help it compete with Apple's XServers.
Gee thanks for that opinion Glenn Beck. I think the only ones seen as an enemy are those right-wing zealots that say Obama was born in Keyna and that do those Tea Bag parties and disrupt town hall meetings.
If the Republic is going to fall, it is not just the Obama administration, but every administration for the past hundred years or so.
Actually you want to press the opt out key on your phone to avoid it calling you for something else.
Usually it is "1" but listen to the recording to hear which key it is.
Sometimes when I hear a robocall I press "1" and it automatically hangs up on me, but sometimes that doesn't work.
I don't sign up for robocalls but I got a new phone number and the people who had it before me must have signed up for various things because they ask for a person's name who doesn't live here sometimes. Obviously they gave up their number because they got too many Robocalls or something.
As a Programmer I usually try to write code around the bug by defining my own functions to replace DLLs and API calls.
When I did so in college back in 1986 it was Turbo Pascal and it had a rounding bug in the compiler. So what I did was write my own rounding function by converting the floating point into a string and then operated on the string to round up and avoid the rounding bug. I was the only one in my class to get the correct answer, but I got a C because I didn't get the same answer as the rest of the class due to a bug in the rounding function. I was accused of 'hacking" and told that writing my own rounding function was illegal use of the language. I felt like Captain Kirk in the Kobayashi Maru scenario, I programmed it so that it was possible to win, but in doing so instead of being celebrated for being innovative I was punished instead. But then later the Star Trek remake made more sense to me.:)
Actually Credit Union customers get "Phising" emails that pretend to be from the Credit Union and goes to a fake web site that looks like the Credit Union but steals their password, user ID, account number, etc.
This happened to a friend of mine, and he phoned it in and the Credit Union asked him to come into their nearest branch and present ID and get his account changed to verify who he is, only the Credit Union near him closed down and he didn't know it and the next one was 100 miles away. He had to drive that far to resolve the problem and eventually switched to a different Credit Unions. It seems Credit Unions are facing hard times and shutting down branches, being that they are too small to be bailed out.
like those Emails from Microsoft with attachments that say they are operating system patches you must install to prevent a virus.
Instead of being from @microsoft.com they are from @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com using a free throwaway webmail address.
The attached files usually have malware in them.
Microsoft does updates via Windows Update or Microsoft Update or via their web site in downloading patches, they never attach the patches to email.
I also get mail saying I won the UK Microsoft lottery and other BS as well. I am keeping a "Scams" folder for that sort of stuff.
I'd expect Credit Unions to have better sense than to run random CDs on their systems without verifying that the NCUA sent them. "What? We didn't send them to you."
You can also rent the Stargate DVDs and save money, unless you want to keep a copy you can watch over and over again. I discourage P2P episode downloading.
Oh yes it is called immigrating to a different country. You basically vote with your feet.
I told liberals that when Bush was president and I tell it to conservatives now when Obama is president, if they don't like it they can vote with their feet and move to a different country.
Just that Canada, the EU, etc all have requirements for immigration like how much of a value you would be to their nation based on what degrees you have, what skills you have, how much you earn, etc.
You cannot give up your US citizenship because there is no legal and Constitutional way to do so. But you can apply for a Visa to the foreign nation for a year for a job there if a company can sponsor you. You can then apply for citizenship and go through their immigration process. You'll be a dual citizen and still required to fill out IRS tax forms, but you'll be earning money in a foreign nation and pay their tax system. Just that if the country doesn't have English as their native language you'll be required to learn their native language to become a citizen, and also participate in their local customs and respect their local religion (if any) as well as local laws.
Did you check to see if the Integrated Video Adapter is using System RAM for Video RAM, like 512M of it and then 128M for Caching other stuff? Some times computer makers cheat and use System RAM for video RAM and you cannot get 100% of it.
Now they will say nobody needs more than 4G of RAM.
I remember back in the day when 8M of RAM was considered too much.
Looks like Microsoft will force upgrades to Windows 7 to get over the 4G RAM limits?
Ah for the days of the AST Rampage card that got over the 640M RAM limits using EMM/EMS memory standards. Can't someone just write a RAM extender driver for 32 bit Windows for XP and Vista to get over the 4G RAM limit?
Usually the accuser has to prove that the song infringes on his/her own work.
Anyway different lyrics, different notes, different instruments used, doesn't follow the same pattern, doesn't use any sampling or riffs from the commercial song is usually good enough.
So then please tell me which commercial song or songs Michael David Crawford's songs infringe upon? They are piano playings and a modification in scales using computer algorithms to modify the music into a certain pattern that hasn't been used by any commercial recording yet. Mr. Crawford is ahead of the commercial recorders in that respect.
and I can tell you that from the Wikis that I have been on. Many times I had to revert an edit because:
#1 Someone posted a "X is gay!" comment on the article about their friend or school mate. #2 Someone blanked the page. #3 Someone did a personal attack against an admin or another user in the article. #4 Someone used swear words to describe the article and what it was about. #5 Someone linked to 4Chan type links or Goatse, Lemonparty, etc. #6 It was a Spammer adding a link to their web sites that have spyware popup ads on them. #7 Someone uploaded nude or porno images and the article was not about those things. #8 Someone posted personal information and tried to cyberbully someone else. (Usually this needs an Admin to remove the edit history from the server and as a normal user I cannot remove it, so I flag down an Admin on their talk page to deal with it.) #9 Random nonsense is scribbled all over the page making it unreadable, and no it is not in a another language put a bunch of 1's and etc like this "11111112222333jrjfjdsubf3875uott7". #10 Sexual references are made throughout the article and the article is not about sex, but it is a form of vandalism.
But in the case of Wikipedia they do things like say Ted Kennedy died when he didn't. Which seems like some sort of practical joke when many celebrities had died at once like Michael Jackson, Farra Fawcett, Billy Mays, etc.
I am guessing to be a trusted user, one has to have gained enough trust to be a Wikipedia Admin and thus approve of edits to an article. The rest of us are just editors. Administrators always had more power and rights than the average user anyway, they just got a new power to approve of edits on protected articles.
Ironically Wikipedia's rival Conservapedia had a system like that for quite a while, and also shuts off new user registrations from time to time. You'd expect that out of Conservatives, but most Wikipedia Admins are left-wingers, but they understand that these new controls are needed to protect the accuracy of the articles.
It is not that Linux has a small market, ID claims technical problems with the Blog drivers.
This is sad because a lot of Gameheads are locked into Windows for playing games, and if Linux versions had existed you'd see more Gamehead defections to Linux because most hate Windows crashing on them or causing lags in the game when it eats up resource memory. If only Video Card makers would open up their standards so open source drivers can be used for them. My Nvidia chipset driver for Linux is limited to 2D support and there is no 3D support yet unless I use a proprietary driver. What almost killed OS/2 was lack of third party driver support as well as lack of OS/2 native software. Since OS/2 ran 16 bit Windows and MS-DOS programs companies felt that there was no need to write OS/2 programs, and hardware vendors didn't see a need to develop OS/2 drivers when Windows was dominating the market. Now Linux is facing a similar problem that OS/2 had, and software companies like ID are not making a Linux version and telling people to use the Windows version instead. I hope it at least works with WINE.:)
Posting Anonymously, sense Slashdot seems to have been taken over be the extreme left wing government nanny staters.
Actually the ultra-left-wing viewpoint is one that many Internet users use and not just limited to Slashdot. All of the right-wingers are too busy trading stocks and doing things to earn money than write blogs or discuss technical issues on Slashdot.
I am a moderate independent myself, and call the right-wingers and left-wingers on their biases and BS.
The US needs to compete with China, and India by cutting spending, and cutting taxes. Make the aggregate (Federal + State) corporate tax rate less than 10% and you will not only see IBM and other expatriate companies come back to the US, but also companies in the EU and other places.
When the economy goes bad again, how will the federal government try to stop it if they cut spending? Do you really want a majority of banks and businesses to fail and cause high unemployment rates and medium and small businesses cannot get loans to expand or compete?
OK you cut takes, now how is the federal government going to pay off our national debt?
Get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Department of Education, none of which are mentioned in the Constitution. No nationalizing banks or auto companies, if the company can't stay afloat LET THEM FAIL! There is no such thing as too big to fail, smaller companies will come in and fill the void, and we will be better off for it.
That is going to upset a lot of senior citizens who retied or are going to retire, and disabled people on disability who cannot work, you will be throwing them all into the street. Without health insurance either.
Letting banks and business fail that way will lead to anarchy and riots. Are you sure you really want that to happen? How will the small companies expand to take over the big business if there aren't any banks to loan them money? The government won't give them money either as you cut spending and the grants and loans program with the SBA as well.

I know I said every administration for the past hundred years. Which he put through a mental filter to think I meant only the current one.
This is a train wreck almost one hundred years in the making that pre-dates even FDR and Wilson administrations.
But I get used to being modded as a troll thanks to users from Kuro5hin having mod points. They usually as well lack reading comprehension as well.

Banned from the Internet is easy to do. Come on let's do it. All of the cool kids are getting banned from the Internet.
I refused to forward a chain email letter so they banned me. :)

Yeah right Compiler bugs don't really exist, and this one was found by Linus Torvalds maybe someone ought to fire him, it is not the compiler it is his kernel source code. :)
She must have been using Visual BASIC and found a bug.
