Well he talks about the player making totally absurd moves that no grandmaster would ever make so the move lists probably wouldn't do much.
This is also the reason I think he might be wrong. My guess is its someone using a very, very good chess program but he needs to pass himself off as someone known, no one could be that could without being known. His only option is someone who is hiding from the public, otherwise the truth would come out rather easily.
Of course there is the chance it could be him. I just don't think so.
As long as my employer is allowed to watch everything I do on my connect at work, these judges should be watched as well.
Does them holding their bench make them a better person, who doesn't need to be watched, than me? I bet most of these judges turn around and would rule in favor of my employer.

Don't be an ass. You know those weren't exact stats. In fact I would bet those numbers are even way more extreme than that.
If you are just making copies of your cd's what is the point of having napster?
They're working an investigation and this is where it brought them. There are NO details in either article...
The reason there are no details in either article is the fact that they give no details. The warrant is sealed. They haven't said why they are searching the stuff or what they are searching for.
Thats what makes this a unique case. The would have to arrest me to search my stuff without giving me a reason they were searching it or what exactly they were searching for, because I sure as hell wouldn't let them do it.
Why? Why just not use the 100 million for stem cell research? I think 90% of the people don't get the fact that they are only limited to 60 stem cells for Goverment Funding. You can use as many stem cells as you would like if you get funding from somewhere else.
He is saying biotechnology is the next big thing. He is gonna donate this money, then get federal funding for the research and then patent everything that comes from it and make billions of dollars.
I personally like the ol G Dubya's stand. The big compainies only want the federal funding for research so they don't have to spend the money, yet they still get the patents.
If all these big companies think its sooooo important to have more than these 60 stem cells why don't they fork over the money for the research? Last I saw these companies weren't hurting for money, yet they had plenty of patents.
If you would read the article it seems to me that only the company name is missing, the rest seems fine with me. It also does not say that it removed all the M$ products and went to pure linux. In fact it doesn't even come close to that.
Its no different that any news corporation doing a story and holding back the name of the company. It all depends on how trustworthy you find the source.
You have to question the site, not the article. If you trust anandtech to not make up stories or lie, you should have no problem believing the story. If you don't trust him, then by all means don't believe it.
Just don't say because he doesn't put the name of the company up there that it is all of a sudden unbelievable. Maybe it was the other company that didn't want it known. Maybe they were afraid M$ would really hamper down on them should they find out what they were doing with linux.
The fact is there isn't much use for stolen credit cards numbers. Now of course there is some use, but the bulk of things require the actual credit card. What are you gonna order something from ThinkGeek and have it delivered to your house? Make a couple long distance phone calls?
The fact is credit cards companies are big business. If they worry too much about securities the cards don't get used enough. Its easier for them to do it this way. Then when the hack occurs, they take the charges to the cards before they were cancelled as a loss and I am sure it's deductable.
Well for one thing, maybe they are hoping that the market of oracle on linux grows. Since its only "tested" on SuSE running it on other distro's can be a real hassle.
I got it working on slack8 but only after a hassle of upgrading and downgrading some things.
I can only imagine that this market will continue to grow as companies look for alternate solutions. Oracle databases are still around 85% on Unix last time I heard.
I am wondering a bit about browsers. I have this machine which is using mozilla on linux. I open it up and slashdot has this story, Evolution Bug Hunt, as the latest story.
Now I have a windows machine next to me, and since I had just done some fiddling with the firewall, I opened up IE to make sure it was still connected to the outside world. Sure enough slashdot comes up but P2P goes to war was the latest story.
I hadn't used it today so obviously it was a cached page. I decide hrmph, i try reloading page, p2p still on top. So I go to my trusty laptop running win2k and IE5.5 and sure enough it still shows p2p goes to war as top story. This is after at least 3 minutes mind you. The laptop hadn't been to slashdot in weeks so it obviously had just retrieved the page, right? How come it is a story behind then? Is this a browser thing or a slashdot thing.
Umm...Why? AMD's chips are, clock for clock, faster.
Only recently was Intel able to beat the 1.4Ghz Athlon........with a 2Ghz part.
That is very a very selective statement. If you line up 1.4 v 1.4, AMD does not win all the benchmarks. Intel still takes the crown in some. How many of those that AMD wins are synthetic?
Just because a chip wins some of the benchmarks doesn't mean its faster.
Sure Intel cost more but that by no means makes it inferior. Go find another bandwagon to leap on.
It is a dirty marketing trick when you have fought in the past to have higher clock speeds and used that as a tool to boast your superiority over another company. Then when you are far lower in the clock speed category you decide it is no longer relavent.
They were only sued there because they publish there. Thats what everyone seems to be missing. If you are going to publish in another country, you should obey their laws or pay the consequences.
If they didn't publish there he would have to had come over there to sue, where he would have had no chance at winning.
In my opinion this is the way it should be. I don't want a bunch of people opening up shop in a America and doing a bunch of things against the law and getting away with it for the simple fact that they are based in another country.
I know what you mean. I tried putting it on one of my spare machines and couldn't find a newtwork card that solaris liked. I really wish they would get more drivers working.
I have found their drivers weird overall. Talking about X, I could get it to work with a tnt2 and a tnt2M64 but it just refused to work with a tnt2ultra.
It is nice to see they are working on getting more thing working. I just hope they work on nic's next.
The indictment said ElcomSoft was culpable because it sold the program for $99 in the United States through an online payment service based in Issaquah, Wash., and with a Web site hosted in Chicago.
What his company did was against the law. He was part of it. If you plan on doing commerce in a country you should know their laws and abide by them or prepare to pay the consequences.
I am not saying by any means that this is a fair and just law, but it is law. Do I hope he goes to jail? No. I hope he wins and the DMCA is thrown away like the garbage it is. Just don't think because you don't think a law is right or just means you can go around breaking it as long as you please. This is the way the justice system is designed.

The movie has almost nothing to do with Bobby Fischer.

I had no idea he was so young.
Makes you wonder what would have come had he lived twice as long and had the more powerful technology to play with.
I wonder if the Compaq Center, which is where the Houston Rockets and Houston Comets play, will become HP Center.
I guess its all in the contract. I often wondered how names worked in those situations. The arena made a deal with Compaq not HP.
My favorite part of the article is the quote from the M$ exec stating that you don't have to sign up for passport to use xp.
If you have to sign up for it to use some parts of the os than yes, you do have to sign up for passport to use xp.
you think those things that get government funding don't also get patented?
and oh, say, 100 million for stem cell lobbyists.
Why? Why just not use the 100 million for stem cell research? I think 90% of the people don't get the fact that they are only limited to 60 stem cells for Goverment Funding. You can use as many stem cells as you would like if you get funding from somewhere else.

suck. The anime videos they have now don't even come close to the ones from the Homework album.
Around the World and Da Funk videos were just plain cool. Even though I have and enjoy the new cd, I was really disappointed when seeing the videos.
I could be wrong. After all I saw the Homework videos while I was in college and still got high. Maybe they just seemed better.
If you would read the article it seems to me that only the company name is missing, the rest seems fine with me. It also does not say that it removed all the M$ products and went to pure linux. In fact it doesn't even come close to that.

Money.

Everytime I read about hailstorm, I am in shock but at the same time scared.
First, off I can't believe that Mircosoft thinks they should be in control of so much personal information.
Second, that Microsoft thinks they can somehow keep it safe.
Third, and this is what scares me. A lot of John Q. Public will give them all this information.
Better them than me I guess.

Of course they don't sell. All the people have bootleg ebooks they got with elcomsoft's product.
The indictment said ElcomSoft was culpable because it sold the program for $99 in the United States through an online payment service based in Issaquah, Wash., and with a Web site hosted in Chicago.
What his company did was against the law. He was part of it. If you plan on doing commerce in a country you should know their laws and abide by them or prepare to pay the consequences.

Or they should have to pay royalties to every company who made the apps they are emulating.
