Well, by traditional media measurements, its 48 million times the width of a human hair (WHHs), but only 240000 times bigger than a head of a pin (HOPs). The real question is how many library of Congress's it can hold (LOCs).
Holy crap, with out the RFIDs, how will the tell whats inside the boxes? Oh, maybe they'll just look...
Sorry, but burning out the tag on a box of bullets doesn't mean the bullets won't shoot people just as dead. And whose to say they won't keep barcodes around as an option?
And see, people thought I was joking. Think about how many women you see with men shorter than they are. Not too many. The only ones I know are a supermodel dating an actor or something.
Of course, tall men lose the other side of the spectrum, in that the shorter gals are usually not compatible with them. (And if you do end up dating a shorty, the tall ones get angry:)

I'm sure thats the fault of windows and not the ticket serving application running into power problems.
Actually, I'm not sure, and neither should you be. There's all kinds of shitty programmers on both Linux and Windows, and just because shitty programmer X chose Linux to write his ticket dispensing application doesn't mean that it won't crash if say, the ticket server was out of power.
Not to rain on your parade, but I seriously doubt anyone will take "the [Linux/Os] developer community" seriously. If you really care, you should start where you can actually make a difference: at your respective institution's alumni organization. In this case, as all others, money talks, bullshit (however righteous and well-meaning) walks.
??? So Microsoft is going to garble up some IP from NVidia? Which they got from where? If NVidia developed some stuff for XBox that was at all unique (and there really isn't much, as its just a specialized PC), MS would probably legitimately own it, since its their project. "Lets risk a billion dollar lawsuit by handing ATI a big stack of NVidia IP for 4 year old technology!!!". That makes good sense to me! Next I'm sure they'll give the intel chip specs to AMD for improvement! These are not little software shops MS can walk all over. These are places with revenue in the billions, and I'm sure NVidia isn't anyone MS wants to alienate in the near future (See the DX9/Cg collaboration). (Though surely they'd be better off than if it was NVidia screwing MS).
You want it so you can easily deal with all the jerks that don't make their webpages to size.
Also, spreadsheets often require a lot of left/right scrolling, and if you work with them a lot this will be a big improvement. If its as easy as the mousewheel to use, I'm all for it.
Don't hate it just because its from Microsoft. Evaluate the technology for what it is.
Where did I say that I watched it? You can't watch any other TV without having ads for the stuff thrown in your face. I figure someone has to be watching it for it to happen.
I know for a fact I've seen ads for them eating bugs and stuff on Fear Factor, so is it really that much different from guessing what's on your head? Does it suddenly become "wacky and cool" because its Japanese trash television and not American trash television?
The funny thing is, America gets a bad rap for shitty TV, but half those shows (Survivor, Who wants to be a millionaire, & American Idol (obviously under a different name)) started in other countries. I'm just waiting for "Whats this junk on my head, man?" to premier on Fox. Should be fantastic!
This would have a been a semi-believable rant about 5 years ago. Before Survivor, American Idol, Fear Factor, Temptation Island, Who Wants To Marry a Millionaire, The Bachelor, The Bachlorette, Joe Millionaire, Survivor II-V, American Juniors, etc, etc, etc,etc.
What they discribed above is neither "funny", nor "original", and you can get the same shit in America. Its called Reality TV, and it blows.
Take a look at the hundres of certification requirements you have to get by to have something published on the XBox and then come back to me and let me know if you think you could stick in a trojan. Also, by doing that a company would be instantly sued out of existance if they _somehow_ managed to get by the certification guys.
And what makes PS2 games of better "professional" quality? I'd say XBox games better than tux racer. (great big rolleyes)
Since most of those address spaces are going to be 0, they have schemes for dropping bunches of 0s. And they just didn't "pull it out of their ass". Its more like they sat and figured out an address size (in 32 byte chunks) that will never have to be replaced. Because if an internet with ~10 years of mainstream use is hard to upgrade, wait 100 years from now when every microchip on earth is networked and suddenly we need to upgrade. That's a problem. IPv6 will happen slowly but surely. I'd prefer we take our time and get it right the first time.
Read the whole article. It says version 1 was free roaming, and version 3 will be as well. They didn't bother making this version roaming as they were just working on interface.

You really don't want to lose all that porn, huh?

No but you do benefit from the rule that:
No woman will ever be seriously interested in a man shorter than she is.
Thankfully, you and I are taller than all but the biggest women, so we're doing alright. Mr. Shorty Boss can only get midgets.
Skeelow is dead man, I just heard!

Heh, not a problem. I see that point in your post, but the tone led me to smash the anti-FUD button a little too quickly.
I'm sure thats the fault of windows and not the ticket serving application running into power problems.

The same people here complaining about CTRL-ALT-DELETE as unintuitive probably know every emacs and vi keybinding by heart.
Actually, its a really good analogy.
"Uhh, I see porno all the time, I know what the naked ladies look like as I have copies on my hard drive. I don't really see what the big deal is."
This guy really needs to get out more.

It took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on there. :)

Just like they did with NVidia!!! Now they're producing their own graphics chips without the help of another com--
Oh wait.

Of course not!

You can run SETI@car in it, though.

So the best way to dispell myths about it being a "hackerOS" is to show how hackers have broken hardware protection schemes to get it working?
...sounds good to me!
Cringely got something like 10Km with a Pringles can, so I expect someone with more of a clue can push that to 55,000'.
;) Thats how I read it the first time anyways...
I'm sorry, but whats a clue can and why is it better than pringles?
Do you really like standing in line at the checkout counter? When I'm tired after work, the last thing I want to do is wait in line for groceries.
