I quess I still have not woke up from the internet time/space continuum and the tweaked concept of time. I quess that's also the main reason why people with ridiculous software patents think they have created something new and innovative:))
the idea of selling merchandise using a method/process like auction was "invented" way before our year 0, maybe even more than 2 million days ago, during the stone age . Infact, I believe "auctions" are a very integrated part of human behaviour - like the need to pee. There's nothing fancy related to how to do the system using software, just a piece of raw work on simulating how it is done in the real world - there is no new ideas added.
atleast at the moment " Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113' Script timed out/articles.asp":)
But I quess you mean the GyroMouse by Gyration, or maybe something else. Anyway, there seems to be atleast a dozen devices to fullfill your dreams - lucky you;))
however in extreme environments, such as high temperature or noxious chemicals, the cleaning process breaks down and the mutations are released all at once
however in extreme environments, such as day before the deadline, the manager process breaks down and all the kludges are released all at once.
Nokia said that the handset will start shipping to network operators in the 4th quarter of 2002 and that will start reaching consumers in the first half of 2003 as the first 3G networks start coming online.
I wonder why they think that same principles as with system security for example don't apply to airport security. If Iris scan, or anything targeted for only a single group, prooves less secure than the strongest practise in use, then the ones who want to break the security will go trough the weakest policy. Or?
> Videophones have been an abysmal failure in direct wired connections. Why would this feature be popular for cell phones?
Because no-one is interested in walking to a certain FIXED place, and wonder out how on the earth THIS SPECIFIC videomeeting thing works. When those services are available on your pocket, through a relatively simple and relatively standardized interfaces, you might actually use it. Also, I don't believe their main use will be as video"phones", instead they will be used to send images and videoclips. Atleast I never have a camera with me when I would have needed it.
- Weight: 141 g
- Dimensions: 132 x 52 x 25 mm
- Talktime: 2 h 20 min (WCDMA), 2 h 40 min (GSM)
- Standby time: Up to 350 h
- Key features: Integrated camera for taking video and still images, new WCDMA air interface, fast connection: up to 128 kbps, multimedia messaging (MMS), large graphical color display, multitasking: talk and send simultaneously
- Operating frequency: Tri-band mobile phone for WCDMA and GSM 900/1800 networks
- Imaging resolution: Image/video capture at 640x480/128x96, more than 10 frames/second
So althought the product from Hantro is interesting, it seems to unfortunately have entered the market 6-12 months too late to do a difference. These (and better) capabilities will be a standard feature too soon.
The Naqoyqatsi concept almost beat my utterly amazing imaginary data transfer wireless data transfer method;) -a groundbreaking innovation. It consists of maxicode encoding data and displaying them as a stream on your display and to be captured by a digital camera to achieve a amazing bitrate of 32000 bps. The results after watching the maxicode show is probably very close to what you get by watching this movie.
- Slicing a troll in Ultima online, score 3:
- Driving over an innocent in GTA III, score: 30, extra 15 for ending the victim's pain with shotgun.
- Creating you own game to plan and execute the murder of your teacher, score 99, extra 1 for doing it with a chainsaw.
Somehow it sounds pretty absurd to ask people name something with such a policy. My gene base is much the same as my father's - should I rename myself Seppo/Jussi? Although I have derived some useful and some less usefull utilities from my ancestors but still I don't share same political views as they do, I am me and they are (some are not anymore) what they are. My kernel is my thoughts, not the utilities, like things called fingers punching the buttons to enter this text. Still GNU is GNU, Linux is Linux. Ofcourse you can call them what you want, we do call Windows Winblows, but it would be quite ridiculous to start a movement to push that naming through.
>So what you are really saying is that all of this can be found at some university [colorado.edu].
No, what I am really saying, that the stuff that he has concentrated his research on is quite interesting, if you happen to develop anything related to the area. Apparently you could use some of the research results as well.

If anyone from this morning's traffic jam is listening, learn from the webpage linked above: On my evening commute on I-5 southbound from Everett there is always a right-lane traffic jam at one of the Lynnwood off-ramps. Close-packed cars must crawl along at 2mph for a very long time. Therefore I intentionally approached that distant jam in the right lane, and started letting a REALLY huge empty space open up ahead of me. By the time I hit the jam, there was maybe 1000ft of empty road ahead of me. Sure enough, my big empty space stopped traffic from feeding it from behind, while the front of the jam kept dissolving as usual. By the time I arrived, the jam was about half the size it had been. Amazing. This wasn't any little traffic wave, yet one single driver was able to take a huge bite out of it.
One of the large major issues surrounding such a system would be implementing it in a way where the user can control the flow of data: where it is stored, when a certain piece of data can be sent, and who is allowed to get it.
First you should solve the problem with Slashdot, which does not allow you to delete your account for example - and does not even mention this during the registration process. Next time when you decide to accept a submission related to YRO, first fix your own violations.
"In the early days of online advertising in the mid-1990s, click through for banner ads might have been any where from 5 percent to 6 percent. But Denise Garcia, a media analyst for GarnterG2, a market research firm in Stamford, Conn., says that click through for banners have fallen to roughly two-tenths of a percent. "It's amazing that it's fallen so dramatically," says Garcia."

I quess you would like the opinion of the author of that article and not me, but - now that you asked, I think we need it mainly because:
It would be somewhat ironical if the DRM solution itself limited "digital rights" by using closed protocols and propietrary technologies. The product does not have to be open source, but the interfaces, protocols and standards should be well documented, public and free. Luckily, as interoperability is likely to be a key issue with DRM, this will probably be fixed automagically because nothing else makes sense (business wise).
Now, maybe someone with more insight on DRM could comment on this as well?
here - maybe we could concentrate on discussing what has changed in these 2.5 weeks instead of action replaying the whole thread:)

Here is a paper on OpenDRM: A Standards Frame for Digital Rights Expression, Messaging and Enforcement by John S. Erickson of HP Laboratories.
Intro: 'The lack of open, accessible, interoperable standards for digital rights management has often been cited by stakeholders as a leading cause for the slow adoption of DRM technologies...This document is a collection of thoughts that I have been developing and maintaining for several years on the notion of a multi-layered, open DRM standards architecture, which I think of as OpenDRM"
Yes, there should and here is one project aiming to do it? The project was started just a few days ago, and no source has been published yet at sourceforge - so, it's the perfect time to start contributing:)
"The purpose of such project is to develop an open digital rights management solution based also on open-source components. The solution will be component based exploiting the XML and the Web Services paradigm. The project will make usage of technologies"

the "original" handbook does the job much better.
