Dunno how fast software like kismet works, but riding on a train could be a great way to scan long stretches for hotspots. On the other hand, the delayed-email systems like we're seeing in third-world countries could probably benefit from having "carriers" mounted on trains.
Also, has anyone taken to wartraveling with handhelds? It's probably a heck of a lot more convenient than lugging around a laptop.
The solution you're implying is to increase the chance that they'll get caught.
Well, so long as you don't tread on my privacy, and respect my constitutional rights, (American perspective here, obviously) and don't increase the chance of me getting charged for something I didn't do, well---
Of course every new major device will be tested before it's fully depended on. That's why the 60s and seventies saw Mercury, then Gemini, then Apollo. Every stage had to be thoroughly tested before the next stage was safe enough to be tested.
Today, technology to get unmanned craft to the moon is quite mature. We need only extend our knowledge of modern manned mission technology to reach the moon. And that should be cheaper than developing that technology all over again.
Certainly true, but that doesn't mean that the amount of energy available is necessarily significantly less.
For a normal application, a voltage regulator would be used to keep output at or below 1.5V (instead of 2.5V, to which the capacitor would ideally be charged), and most devices can continue to operate at considerably less than the voltage rating of the batteries that are used to power them.
My biological father had a metal bar fuse itself to the terminals of his car battery...The battery didn't explode, but it wasn't really worth anything afterwards, either.
If Western software was being pirated by China, you'd expect the US to do something about it, right? The only problem is that that same software is the biggest competitor to the US's biggest software developer, who's also a major contributor to campaign funds.
The last time I tried a keyboard shortcuts app, it wouldn't recognize some of those special buttons on my USB "Compaq Internet Keyboard"... but perhaps that's because those buttons are on a separate subdevice...
They better make it an extremely accurate clock, or one of two things will happen:
If the clock's fast, people will bitch about not getting what they're paying for, and they'll switch to a different service.
If the clock's slow, the provider's will feel cheated, and may likely switch to a different service.
Oh, and as MS DRM becomes more pervasive, we're bound to see some sort of antitrust court action. (I guess the biggest question right now is will it be in one year or five?)
Methinks you could probably strip down a decent hiking backpack (you know, with the metal frame) into being a decent way to strap on your mid-tower machine.
You'd still carry your CRT in your arms, of course.
Some OSS developers will point fingers, primarily with "Autoconf 1.4 is crap. Use 1.7 instead" or "The DRI Radeon driver doesn't handle that well, try using the ones from ATI's website."
You'll often see a conflict between keeping the code elegant and keeping it broadly compatible. The OSS developers I've interacted with tend to focus on the "elegant" aspect.
Well, my budget dictates that if I get a laptop, I'll be getting it instead of a desktop machine. Which means I'll want the laptop to do everything that desktop machine would have done.
Oh and btw - doesn't laptop use on planes cause problems with navigation equipment? Or is it just during take-off and landing that its problematic?
My step-father often has to make business trips to Korea...he takes his laptop with him and works on the software on the way there...It's a plenty long plane ride.
Yeah, well, he's got a lot of other people helping him grasp for the strongest straws in the US, in the name of National Security, no less. I wouldn't laugh just yet.

So where does that leave AMD? Do they already meet the new requirements?

wait; I'm asking the impossible, aren't I?
I'm thinking "Lindoze" would be great. If Microsoft went after them for similarity to "Windoze", I'd laught till I fell off my chair.
(And I'm on a high chair at a sign-in desk, atm.)
I was six...it was 1989.
Because the obfuscation techniques that go into spam can just as easily be applied to messages you want to hide?
Because it probably wouldn't be very difficult to apply steganography to spam?
Or for carpentry. The fewer fat thumbs the better.

It's been mentioned before, but the SCO codebase has a lot of code they licensed from other UNIX vendors. And not all of it is properly attributed.
Robert Love described the copyright issues surrounding the codebase as a real mess.
Didn't you hear? That's the process to get past the particularly restrictive firmware.

Had a great handle, though.
Not linearly. It's inversely proportional. Check out the RC Time Constant.
Hey! We'll finally get TCPA support in Linux!
Wait..
oh.
That would lead to funny (as in odd) situation.

Want to talk about conflict of interest?

When I had a lap top, I liked to stretch out on the couch for some hacking on a D&D project I had in Perl.
It was nice, too. My cat would sit on my arms, but it wasn't a big deal since I could type without moving my wrists anyway.
The question is, who could sue them? A competitor, possibly. But certainly not a customer; their EULA certainly sees to that.

Grayscale, actually.

Until, of course, all means past a certain point are under control, like the situation they've got in China.
