  1. Nifty, but it's flawed just as SecuROM and C-Dilla on CD Copy Stopper · · Score: 1

    I must say it's a cute idea. It will certainly stop the "exact-bit-by-bit-copy" pirates untill they have bought themselves a machine that can duplicate and manufacture that onboard chip.

    BUT! Just as SecuROM and C-Dilla it must decrypt the content on the CD before it can be used, and then it's a simple matter of grabbing it and saving it as a 'plain' CD.

    In the Case of SecuROM and C-Dilla their success is their Achilles heel, since they are so common on games nowdays there are nice utilities out there that automatically recovers the original unencrypted executable.

    If this new scheme is successful it's just a matter of time before a one-click crack is readily available on ze net.

  2. OK, let me see... on New IBM Plant Will Mass Produce .1 Micron Chips · · Score: 1

    So they have their headquarters in Armonk, now a new plant in Fishkill...

    I don't even want to know what comes nrext...

  3. Forget web defacement, what I want to know is... on New Two-Headed Hard Drive Intended To Secure Web Sites · · Score: 1

    ...how do they keep the 2 heads from bumping into each other?

  4. Crew members on Manned Mars Mission Some Way Off · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Who should be the members of such a crew if it were to be launched?"

    Well duh! Marstronauts, ofcourse!

  5. Re:Everytime on Behind the Numbers: LCD vs. CRT · · Score: 1

    I think he means thinner... OLEDS doesn't need a backlight.

  6. Yet another dumb idea that doesn't hold up. on Encoding DNA as Music for Copyrighting? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To get copyrightprotection it must be an original and creative work.

    There's nothing creative about a DNA secuence, it's just a statement of fact, no matter in what form it is encoded.

  7. Ofcourse you can cluster it! on How Well Does Windows Cluster? · · Score: 1

    Since the middleware runs on WinNT and friends, so will your applications (when properly ported ofcourse).

    For example PVM, there are MPI implementations for WinNT too, I just don't remember any links of the top of my head.

  8. Dedicated laptop "cellphones" are old news. on Intel Developing Cellular Internet Chip · · Score: 1

    Both Nokia and Ericsson have been selling PC cards that give you instant GSM access for years now.

    For example the Nokia CardPhone 2.0

    Bulding the chip and antenna directly into the laptop is a trivial matter of engineering.
