  1. Re:"Fighting" piracy on Nintendo To Sell Old Consoles To China? · · Score: 2
    Remember, the reason for DVD region codes is so that if a copyright-lawless region started pumping out auathorized copies of the locally available DVDs, those DVDs would be useless in an American Region 1 player.


    What do you think whould stop someone in a "copyright-lawless"-region from first importing an american region disc and then pumping out illegal copies of that?

  5. One problem... on Cryptome Log Subpoenaed · · Score: 2

    You have to find a way to force the terrorist to use the internet first.

  6. disagree with you sligtly on Library Censorware Blocks Own Site · · Score: 2

    If libraries want to block sites - fine.

    Libraries are the only access ti the internet some people have, thay should not censor anything.

    If you think that some speach on the edges of what is acceptable does'nt need protecting, then think again. If we don't protect what is on the edges then the fiels of what is acceptable will shink, and sooner than you think we will find ourselves in iran or nazi germany.

  13. The positive effect of DRM on DRM in Real-Time and Embedded Systems · · Score: 1

    Enviormentally friendly power sources:

    Large weights are mounted on a wheel. Each weight is equipped with DRM. When a weight reaches the bottom of the wheel the weight is given an invalid passport and stops working, when it reaches the top it is given a valid one. This process drives the wheel that drives a generator.

  14. reg stack? on Revolutionizing x86 CPU Performance · · Score: 1

    There can easily be 20-40 instructions (at 4 bytes per instruction) to save and restore registers.

    Is it not possible to make a stack for the registers, and then have a single push and pop instruction save/restore all the registers?

  15. Re:The Judge found it OK because... on Russian Snared By The FBI Sentenced To 3 Years · · Score: 1
    the US would be perfectly justified in hacking into the guys records


    Not if those records were in Russia. Then only Russian law enforcement could do it, and only with a Russian warrant.

  16. Because on File Sharing and CD Sales, Again · · Score: 1
    If music is so bad, why is kazaa so popular?


    Because people are constantly looking for OTHER music.

  17. The fundamental flaw on Internet Security Standards · · Score: 2, Insightful
    One final benchmarc score. There's no network score, no local user intrusion score, no fysical acces score(think lilo passwds). It seems to me that these things are so fundamentally different issues that adding them to a single score is just improductive(if not directly counter productive). "this box got 8.0 the other one only got 6.9, let's put this one on the network".

    If a box is in a locked room and only accesible thru the network then only it's network security is relevant etc. etc.

  18. Re:Vector C on NVIDIA Cg Compiler Technology to be Open Source · · Score: 1
    Until other graphics card manufacturers make Cg compilers this won't really be a standard and still an nVidia solution.

    "source code", "non restritctive licence" and stuff like that means that oter gc makers don't have to make their own compilers.

  20. The name "270W" on Hitachi's Water-cooled Laptop · · Score: 1

    I'm sure many people are going to think "270 Watts no way, that's going to drain my 5000mAh 10.8v battery in 12 minutes!"

  21. Re:Roll up TV Screens? lets get serious on Light-Emitting Polymer Displays · · Score: 4, Informative
    A 1024 X 768 will require atleast 786,433 electical contections

    Actually the minimum is not x*y it's x+y(well 3x+y anyway, or better x+3y for rgb). If you imagine all other contions being set to high impedance. One pair at a time used to illuminate a pixel and a scanning techinque used. That only makes it 3328 connections.

  22. Until... on Light-Emitting Polymer Displays · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Someone illuminates the whole area with a light that blinks at such a frequence, that you suit(due to the latency) is out of phase. : )
