Well the good news is with Microsoft's track record for security it will be broken in a weeks time and then will not have to deal with the digital rights management at all.
OK, lets try this again, I crashed out of my 1st post.
I also see why the people that make Abiword are trying to make popele understand that it is not a finished product yet.
I do not agree with them saiying that it will never be as polished of a product as word.. Word is by far a bug free product.. With Abiword what I would do if I were on the project is make what works and what people use work VERY well and take out the features that are not used..
MSword is full of blaot, espically the newest versions. Don't let Abiword get that way, keep it a small, fast, MSword compatable word processor, not a CLOAN. When one thing works perfectly get then slowly add more features as people request them. Ket it as low on bugs as possable and Show MS that a program can be made with out bugs all over the place.
But what ever you do, don't give up to MS and say there will alwyas be better or you just as well stop now..

Does any one have a copy of what it said? I like to read about Transmeta's progress.. I love to root for new tech. Transmeta's stuff is cool and could give the big boys a run for there money.
I am not going to pay for a service that has comercials.. If they didn't have comercials and I was able to bring my rights to listen to the music from my car, to house or what ever that would be some thing I would think about.
But the way I read it the radio receiver and chip is tied to your car at this time.
Make it a smart card and make "portable" receivers that all use the same standards and then they may have a service.
Also as part of the contract I would insist that they cannot add comercails with out the option of me cancling my service at that time.
I think then have a good idea but the wrong market

They should be marketing the "Digital receiver" and a digital media server for businesses.
With that they could wire music into every were there is a existing network drop.
With a little modification to the software on the server I am sure they could do forced broadcasts for warnings in the building and company propaganda.
In a building that is already networked it could very well be cheeper then the "tradional" PA system.
In the home envirment I really think it needs to be more "sterio" like and have some form of storage on board to store the music so the server does not always need to be on.. Otherwise it boils down to what a lot of people are saying..
I cannot beleive I posted some of the stuff I did back then. I actually have a post saying I was lookng for large ammounts of files for my huge 800 meg of storage.. Now I cringe if one of my drives gets down to 800 meg free.
I still say MS should give the schools the cash and let them do what they want with it.. No regulations except it be spent on some sort of technology. It would make it less of a conflict.
Most likely MS would still get a big boost from it because the schools would feel they had to after all MS gave them the money.. But it will leave the decision in the schools hands to get what they truly need.
On the other hand if we do not have educated children in 10 years are so companies like Microsoft will be in sorry shape.
Maybe just ALL the technology should be give to the schools.. Let the companies get into a donation race if they want and see who wins.
I am glad to hear some thing new out of the P2P industry even if it is so light on details.
THere are so many things that P2P seems like it would work great for so many things other then file exchange.
what uses does any one see for future use of P2P.
One use that I though of that could be cool it paying people to be part of a large scale cache of the net.. Well used web sites could make dynamicly mirror them selves very similar to the way Kazza and MORPHEUS Network share files.
What other uses do people see for P2P in the future?
Pay pal has been good to me, but I always recomend keeping good records and recepts, even when using a traditional bank..
If you have good records if the worst should happen you will have the paper work necessary to do what needs to be done. Even if that would include small claims or whatever...
I cannot wait till 4+ gig DVD-RW and such are standard on all computers.
I remember way back to the 1st time I used a 1.44 meg disk and how big it seemed back then.
I had a friend that had a early DVD-RAM drive about 2 years ago.. it was unbeleivable to put 2.7 on each side of those disks.. Never mind they were like $30 to $40 a disk or more and only would work in that one drive.. LOL
Anyone want to take a guess what we will concider normal storage on a computer a year from now??
My mother lost her eyesight in one eye in a Grizzly bear attack a few years back and some thing like this may have saved her eyesight.
Her optic nerve was scratched by a bear tooth that punctured her skull and the vision never returned. Other then that she recovered fully. But some thing to increase nerve growth may have saved her eyesight so this is an advance to watch.
Baby steps may seem small, but they always seem to get where they are going.
On a Windows OS, the computer searches the path ONLY until it finds what it is looking for.
So if you set up the path properly it would seldom get very far into the path.. Maybe even the OS could intelgently reorganize teh path based on how often it finds items in a particular path and move the best ones to the begining of the search?
Contact @Home and ask for a copy of the EULA and proof that you agreed to it..
When they point you to the web site for a copy of the CURRENT EULA, tell them you want the EULA that you agreed to..
Nicly Demand the exact time and Date that you ageed and a copy of that EULA
The Reason I ask all that is 2 fold,
(1) I took advantage of a free install that my cable Co was using at the time and they came and did the work and installed the software (There for I never agreed to a EULA then),
(2)And I am not %100 sure I ever agreed to a EULA because I have never personally installed the @Home software because @Home tech support at the time told me the @Home it didn't work with Windows ME at the time I installed @Home software
So I guess I want to know how I agreed.. Is it assumes that you use the Software or service that you agree????

I woulds say I have to agree %100..
I use windows because my OS of Choice BeOS in no longer being mantained.
I would love to see AbiWord be compatable enough with word that I can do what I need to do, but still be fast and nimble.

But things never change.. LOL
I really miss my BBS dyas.
Hey that would be one I would like to read.. There would have to be pictuires to go with it..
/. have enough energy to try to put this together?????
Lots of pictutes
Any one in
Did I meantion that there would need to be pictures?

Think they would care if we set up some P2P file sharing on this..
I could hadle getting 1 hour TV shows in 2 or 3 min..
Yes this very enteresting news..
My mother lost her eyesight in one eye in a Grizzly bear attack a few years back and some thing like this may have saved her eyesight.
Her optic nerve was scratched by a bear tooth that punctured her skull and the vision never returned. Other then that she recovered fully. But some thing to increase nerve growth may have saved her eyesight so this is an advance to watch.
Baby steps may seem small, but they always seem to get where they are going.
So on the default settings it boils down to fuzzy with no artifacts or sharp with artifacts?
Is there any adjustments in this early codec that adjust the sharpness?
I enjoy using my computer and CD-RW to make "perminate" copies of my movies and higher compression is good.
But as with any codec there will be no BEST for all situations. differnt types of moves will lend them selves to different codecs.
P.S. I know the term perminate in computers is used loosely.. No medium is good for more then about 10 years.
I think we should start linking every page on there site to every search engine and see what they say then.
Could be fun.
I for one just cannot even imagine a game, or any program for that matter, taking 256 meg for a min requirement and 512 to run well..
I used to play everquest and some of the features that they added might have been enough to bring me back, but not at that cost.
OK, let me ask this.
On a Windows OS, the computer searches the path ONLY until it finds what it is looking for.
So if you set up the path properly it would seldom get very far into the path.. Maybe even the OS could intelgently reorganize teh path based on how often it finds items in a particular path and move the best ones to the begining of the search?
Would this work?

You could also use the 5Ghz to link several smaller 2.4ghz networks together and try to split the bandwith nicly....
