I apolgize, my facts were not well based, or well formed. I am glad people are able to hack the fingerprint things. I don't live in california, and get a life, most of slashdot doesn't! I meant to say only criminals, (or suspects) have fingerprints on file at the Police station. The database of the police department doesn't connect to others I know.
Fingerprints are too private. Any method used by the police is to private for a grocery store to have. As it is, only criminals have fingerprints on file, after a few years, they'll be trying to get EVERYONE on file.
How about a sun blade? Come on dude, G4 is a SLOW SLOW processor. Look at the benchmarks dummy! G4 20% slower than x86, Sparc, 20% faster than x86, and a lot more reliable. I sure hope my comment gets on the metamoderation list troll is totally rediculous.
256mb ram and 1 GHZ g4, for $3000. It's a rack server, but I got more power than that in a $700 athlon. I wouldn't be complaining if it was $1500 (over twice the cost), but really, I'd much rather have a sun box (proven, fast) for $3000 than an apple.
My opinion is this wouldn't sound very good. Computerized music doesn't sound good unless it's done well, and monotone singing can get quite boring. But don't send any money to the RIAA!:-)
People have suggested ways that will work, in fact, I've even suggested ways that will work! The stupid lazy programmers complain about bandwidth and too many processes and call you names. A system to stop spam would be hard to run, and that's why there aren't any now. (My ISP uses a dul, but I get PLENTY of spam.)
I don't think there are many people that spam per message sent, what we need to do is block by domains, not ip addresses, and anything that doesn't resolv gets blocked. It would work, but it would probably be too expencive, unless the lazy administrators are just lying to me.
A "oath" like this could lead to ommendoms with stuff like "I will follow the DMCA", and other digital rights management junk. I'd be cautious to the threats this could cause. And hey, there's plenty of spam software out already, merely stopping the production of more wouldn't stop spam.
Athlons? first, ddr333 will work with any of the athlon offerings. but it costs a heap. ddr 2100 should be used if you have 266mhz bus, but if you only have 200mhz bus, you should just go with the old sdram, because ddr1600 doesn't help much (at all).
Well, it depends on who you ask. According to SGI, it's OpenGL 1.3, but a few companies call it openGL 2.0. OpenGL 1.3 does have some impressive advantages, so it doesn't really matter. Remember, OpenGL isn't just specifications, it's a library, and it works a lot better than directx releases. (i.e. anything can be rendered in software, so you don't need to mess with libraries everytime a game or card is realeased.)
Why? what's right with it? Macromedia makes money off their worthless software, flash if finally ok with version 5, but stuff like dreamworks, a nightmere. I consider mspaintbrush to be better than Fireworks. And face it, Flash isn't good enough to have a $800 program to produce flash animations.
Personally I prefer MPEG. Sorenson is larger, uglier and proprietary. I just wish everyone would stop using Quicktime codecs (yeah, espesially starwars.com). The major thing I would debate if I was Sorenson, is Apple and Macromedia being competitors. Apple makes computers, and an operating system. Macromedia makes worthless software -- not much in common.
This just goes to show microsoft supermacy! They wouldn't use google like you, a free software junkie! MSN SEARCH is soo much better, why would you want more results that are more relevant? Alright, I'm just sick of IE being so featureless (you can't pick a search engine), and so many people use it.
Computers succeeded because they were revolutionary. This segway won't keep up with a bike, and probably won't beat a skateboard by much. And for $3000, you can get a pretty good motorcycle, or a used car.
200 college kids won't be going to the same class in these things, they're way too expencive. Still, if they are getting sidewalk legislation, they'll drop the price to somewhere closer to rediculous. I'm with the consumer advocates on this one, it's obviously as wide as a bike, and it probably can't stop as fast.
Get radeon. Yeah, I might get flamed, but they're the best for no heat. I get better stability than I did with a rage pro, and it needs no fan. The newer radeon windows drivers are good, and there's OSS drivers. Now if only the kernel dev team could fix the MVP3 agpgart bug (motherboard).

It won't encode as well as mp3, but it wont wreck the image either.

The first game you can actually fall asleep and win! I have a feeling it won't be much fun *yawn*, er oops =)
Can you reprogram it to rub on people's legs instead of panting?

Come on guys, piracy doesn't have anything to do with open source, or redhat, or the linux kernel. Ask real questions.

AMD has processors that run at 1.8ghz, so 533mhz is nothing! Oh wait, it said fsb. :-)

You know, like a nerd blackout. Perhaps it would boost tech's salaries. At least nerds who don't like starwars :-)
ok, I laughed.
yeah... but sun DOES own all the copyrights. I don't think we have to worry about Sun though.

an: not to be used for talking about a person. An should be entirely left out of this article.
Acid, something that gives hydrogen ions. Of course, we wonder if it's stinky hydrogen :-)
