The article talks about the sheer amount, or volume of data being transferred.
You aren't just taking up bandwidth on your system, and the recievers system by sending a file. Your information must be routed and uses resources from many other computers to reach it's destination.
On the net, the quickest path between a and b is not a straight line.
How about an advanced cache system, a master cache or multimedia files as they get sent, files matching the same name/size/crc value get sent down to smaller cache hubs. Larger isps could host these cache hubs, the incentive for them would be less bandwidth external to the network.
Everyone downloads this King fu flash video...
User A goes to download it, and he is the first ISP-X user to download it, it now resides in ISP-X's multimedia cache. When User B goes to grab it, he is redirected to the cached.
similar to a DNS system, where changes filter down.
Now for the privacy concern, could this be limited to multimedia, how secure would these caches be? Can someone browse them?
GameCube and Mac Cube have been done..time for the easily accessible PC Cube.
4 Hard disk carriers slide out from back.
The machine come standard with 4 empty carriers so no empty slots are present.
RAM/CPU can be accessed from a sliding panel on the side of the unit.
Power supply held in by 4 clips, accessible from the bottom of the unit, new one will snap in to place with no issue.
PCI/AGP cards have a software insertion in to the top of the cube. Toaster type mechanism lowers and raises the cards in to place, promising nothing but contact.
Front of the cube will look similar to back except instead of hard disk bays, 5 1/4 device bays will exist, they will hold CD-ROM type devices, and allow for easy sliding in and out.
It may be possible for hard ware manufacturers to integrate the device carrier in to the actual device so no carrier is required in the future.
Hrm..if we couple that feature, with the ability to skip over Episodes centered around transporter accidents, we could fit the entire series on to an 8-track.
The day i'm FORCED to use a passport, to do business with a NON-MICROSOFT company, is the day I stop doing business with that company.

The Drone War
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
War is mearly becoming symbolic.
I remember an original Star Trek episode, in which there was a conflict between two planets. The Enterprise crew the war was mearly a computer simulation, but each side killed X amount of citezens according to the simulation results.
A war waged by computers, the casualties human, for no purpose.
War should only be used to stand up for beliefs in the shadow of only the most incredible evil. When there is no death, is there really any significance?
True, I can't remember being presented with a license agreement, and the FBI warning only comes up AFTER i've hacked it for 3 years to get it to play in my toast.
I've finally figured out what Gov't reminds me off.
Imagine working at a HUGE international company, and your dept. provides technical support. Now, out of these 200 people providing technical support, 198 of them are none technical and 2 of them read/.
The past is due to repeat itself, they fear what they don't understand, and they don't want to understand.

Ack!
Gortek and the microchips?!?!
That was a big brown box, with a book and cassette tape right?...I think it was like to learn basic with!
...of me dreaming about what goes on inside my Vic 20.
I wanted to know how to access the little tron bike game.
I was upset.
I was also like...8 or so.
The companies will support the same transfer standard, this is different then merging the two databases.
The AIM / MSN systems will not communicate with each other, they will just use the same file transfer method if this works out.
What is so bad?

I would purchase a case like that.
Just great.
I give it two weeks before they get in to all the systems, shut down our life support and start calling us ugly bags of mostly water.
BAH. Where is Wil Wheaton now to save us?
Actually if you read the article they mention a complete all-in-one solution that I am reffering to. I currently have a linksys wireless router.
The article talks about a cable modem/router/wireless access point device coming out in the future.
>>In the second quarter of 2002 they have an
>>interesting all in one solution combining a
>>cable modem and a wireless 802.11a router
and i just shelled out for 802.11b in the house :(
:)
I'm more curious about linksys's cable modem/access point/router solution, does it depend on your cable ISP to determine if you can provide your own?
Also, if anyone has a truckload of those 23.1" lcds..please reply
but does nasa have any long term goals?
What are we trying to achieve.
I'm not looking for troll points, but am actually curious. Human colonization is quite unlikely due to the plant being so close to the Sun.
Other then a place to live, does a planet such as this offer any benefit to us?
I paid about $200 cdn for the entire movie set, this shouldn't be much more expensive.
Agreed, but I'll be upset if I don't have the entire collection.
The characters didn't really devlop personalities beyond that of a coat hanger until mid season 2.
Hrm..if we couple that feature, with the ability to skip over Episodes centered around transporter accidents, we could fit the entire series on to an 8-track.
then the way they packaged the original series, by putting 2 episodes per DVD and charging $20-$30 per 2 episodes.
:)
I'll be collecting these, and hoping the original series, as well as Voyager is released in this fashion.
I can't imagine DS:9 would sell quite as well...
Adobe. Dimitri.
If this device is sold on the internet, then it has a potential US customer.
big business supporting the little guys.
Regardless of copyright, would they not be in violation of copyright for producing a device that bypasses a circumvention method?
DMCA seems to be more important then other laws, such as fair use lately.
I wonder if Phillips is prepared to fight against the DMCA, that would be a huge boost in the fight.
If they do, my next cd-rom will be phillips.
Can I ask ---> YOU --- what the heck this has to do with the article posted??
Regardless of e-commerce growth, there will always be brick and mortar stores, mom and pop shops who can provide an alternative service/product.

You need the heating component from Hitachi so it will fail.

Stupid toaster.
...he is being charged with this here and now?
According to this article he was charged around Jan 2000?
What happened?
I've finally figured out what Gov't reminds me off.
