thats what i mean - digital connection = lots of bandwidth, tv-tuner = free. Unless it only needs to transmit it once and everyone can share the same connection in each cell. otherwise its like the phone companies admitting it costs them nothing to handle calls and they are overcharging. or maybe its a bait and switch?
How much bandwidth does this use up? Can the network really support it if more people start using it? It should be technically possible to fit a real tv tuner in a decent sized phone these days (dunno about the battery tho)..
-if he designed windows today he would do what everyone else is doing already. -therefore windows must be stuck on legacy ideas and structures that cant be changed even in new versions because everything else would break -or windows developement has gone stale and each new version of windows is just a patch on the previous one..
What you have to understand is that the Olympics left Greece as a name with purity and now it has returned as a trademark. When you are on their land and you have signed their contracts you have to follow their rules. The Olympic authorities are constantly moaning about people tarnishing the purity of their sacred Olymic name what they really mean is people are dirtying their brand. The whole thing is nothing more than a marketing event and they want to keep all their IP (broadcast rights and advertising deals) safe. Im not sure exactly where it sold out - it was probably over many decades! but next Olympics will probably have a 'tm' or 'r' sign and you (the spectators) will be heavily searched in the name of security for anything that could be used to broadcast out. Mobile phone oparators will be instructed to block picture/video messaging from the area and you wont be allowed to leave untill 3 hours after each event (to stop you selling the tapes).
So Linux companies need to put their prices up, don't sell Redhat to compete with Windows Server, make it 4 times more expensive and advertise as much as Microsoft do, then the PHBs will take notice. The SCO license fee could help here to - include that in the cost?
After you wake up, you'll spend an hour checking out slashdot on your e-ink paper, you hacked your coffee-machine to boost the caffine to just under the lethal dose. You're alreadly late because you checked the "don't wake me if im having a dream" box on your alarm settings. Your getting ready for work and the toilet tells you that your young daughter has been busy with half the football team, her tooth brush confirms... off to work and to drop the kids off, the journey is silent, no-one says a word. There are some police cars outside the school - its been raided again by the MIA (Media Industry Ass. they are now global) good thing you taught your kids how to hide stuff properly. At work your boss is pissed off, apparently the new product infringes 165 patents but we're only budgeted to infringe 80. You need to find some loop-holes and get rid of 85 patented concepts by tuesday. After lunch theres a quick security search, apparently someone was spotted in the building wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign! The security search was sponsored by Pepsi and the vending machine had a one hour discount. On the way home you some girls getting a ticket for skirt-length violation (the cop has his ruler out) and you just hope your girl isnt getting into trouble. You get home and check slashdot, the news and your mail.
Oh and make sure you dont get mugged in 2014, they cut your hand off for the finger prints.
Gmail is just in at the moment, you have to run with it dude, sometimes something can be in but its also cool not to do it because you're making a statement (like blogging) but gmail is just totally 100% in right now. POP3 is like soooo pre-Iraq, I have a couple of IMAP accounts in Thunderbird but even there, no POP.
The real question is how did a known terrorist become a senator! I think this clearly prooves that the government cant be trusted because there are terrorists in the government!
"I don't relish the idea of seeing the beginning of people's pubic hair," Westwego City Councilman Glenn Green told the House Criminal Justice Committee on Thursday. "I don't relish seeing the beginning of the crease of people's buttocks. And I don't enjoy watching young men letting their sexual organs show through their red or black silk underwear," Green said. Green argued that, if government can dictate what children wear to school and when they have to be off the streets, government should be able to ban certain types of clothing. A revised version of House Bill 1640 by Rep. Derrick Shepherd, D-Marrero, would mandate three eight-hour days of community service for anyone who publicly wears clothing that intentionally exposes undergarments, or any portion of his or her pubic hair, cleft of the buttocks or genitals. In addition, offenders who violate the proposed law could be fined up to $175. Voting to advance the bill were Rep. Beverly Bruce, D-Mansfield; Rep. Roy Burrell, D-Shreveport; Rep. Eric LaFleur, D-Ville Platte; and Rep. Bodi White, R-Denham Springs. The bill goes to the full House for consideration.
Im not sure if this is true, but if it is its the mother fucking democrats aswell! That would pretty much proove that both parties are just as bad, I cant think of anything more facist than legislating clothing. This is on par with facist governments in some of the worlds most oppressed countries well done!! America is slowly comming into line with people who are obviously way ahead on human rights! I only hope they ammend the bill to add stoning as a punishment!!
Hotmail is big, fat, slow and bloated i only use it because i still get emails there, my 2MB of space is always full and waiting for it all to load if im on a slow connection or pc is just torture. Gmail is super fast, efficiently designed and a pleasure to use. Hotmail could offer 100GB and Gmail would still be in the hearts of many, even so with all the money going into google right now they could probably keep their space higher than Hotmails for a long time..
Actually that just reminded me of that £5m deal with microsoft and Newham Council. 5 million pounds: lets say you took a decent engineer at 40,000 per year for one year. you could get 125 of them for 5 million quid! thats about 12 for 10 years (the length of the deal). bare in mind this is just one London Council. Ok so lets cut that in half and say you spend 2.5 million on 6 engineers for 10 years, that leaves you with 2.5 million on software licenses! How about just giving 12 people jobs for 10 years and using OSS?
What always amazes me is how governments in other countries manage to get IT projects finished with tiny budgets. Here in the UK or in the US the rickshaws would have cost 100s of thousands each and a small fortune to run. Look at eVoting for example - i've heard prices of $10000 per machine! WTF costs $10000 to stick an unsecure crappy computer in a box and put some strung together voting software on it? India they do it with some custom build hardware and it costs nothing!
Er i dont think they mean disposable like that - you take it back to the shop, they give you your prints/cd and the next customer gets the same camera? ofcourse it also means a cheap $20 camera for anyone whos interested in hacking it..
He didnt mention illiteracy or make any spelling mistakes, the 56 people poll was actually bullshit, they took the two figures 23 and 56 from somewhere else - the National Geographic world wide poll that tested people from all around the world with 56 questions and americans got 23 right on average (56% couldnt find india but most could find the pacific). Its not about having to buy it, if Microsoft wants to do business in a country they have to follow that countries laws whatever they are.
The way I see it theres only two ways: if they are allowed to install things without telling the user and let these things stop other programs working, and stay after uninstall etc then the user is allowed to try whatever they want to bypass it - i.e if you can do what you want, we can do what we want. But if the law says no you cant use debugging tools to look at copy protection, you cant talk about copy protection and you cant bypass copy protection then it seems fair that the copy protection should at the very least conform to rules too, otherwise its like you're saying a big fuck you to peoples rights in favour of corporations. Either way, what you do in your own home with your own computer (offline) is your business and no-one elses - if you choose to decompile or examine something its your right.
Basically how it worked is that the study concluded that Linux cant do that neat thing where you flip the tablet screen around and the screen rotates because no-one could find/install the software for it. Then they thought about some of the servers/database type things but microsoft said they would give them 30% off if they didnt use any open source software. 5 million quid later and all the social workers are happily playing solitare on their new tablets and saying "yeah im sorry we cant really help you we dont have the budget."
The middle east has been fighting over the same land since Jesus walked the earth
Actually they've been fighting over it since the 7 million Jewish people moved in about 50/100 years ago and set up government.
Jewish, German, black, Russian, nor white people that commited the terrorist acts that led to our whole country losing freedoms. It was a radical Islamic sect comprised of Arabic men
Well almost right, it was a brain-washed cell of mostly Saudi men (but we love Saudis because they have all the oil) who believed (i shit you not) that they would have 70 virgin sex-slaves in heaven if they hijacked some planes and killed 3000 random people. I dont think that has anything to do with Islam or being Arabic. There are wacko US soldiers who believe that the more prisoners they tourture and kids they blow up in Iraq the more of a patriot they are but that doesnt mean all the soldiers are bad and iraqis should try and kill them all (ok bad example)... true you should have to earn the trust of a country and people who have been there all their lives get more trust, but if you start racially profiling people - again - you go just took a step back in civilisation.
Damn right! i think its time for oparation job-security: we gotta get all out-sourced workers hooked on MMORPGs or Doom 3, then give them Friends and Simpsons to further reduce productivity. Finally introduce them to Slashdot and blogging. Ha! they'll be so useless they'll start out-sourcing back to us!
take a normal hard-drive, rip out the internals and replace with a mini flash drive, write internal control software that makes it look and behave exactly like the old drive, fill the rest of the space with cocaine until it reaches the required weight of the old drive. Seal it up.

Yep, really fair and balanced legal system im seeing here. This is a fucking disgrace, guilty murderers have had more legal support.

Would they like to name one 'artist' who can't afford to eat?
