The media doesn't state what authorities nor why they should seek counseling. Bad reporting. Again.
The U.S. seemed to have become so fearful and litigious as to be paralysed sometimes.
The 80387 was the first chip I installed and it was in a 386SX. I wasn't trying to change the world with an open kernel or even learn to program. It was Doom. I had to get Doom running. Oh no! Hammer pants and wine coolers! The Cure! I think I better go lay down now.
Not sure I'm able to make call here. It does sound like Ron Paul needs to go home and get his own house in order.
Blah, orwell, blah Che, blah federalization.

Remember the solar powered street lights? http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/29/1320205
Something similar but add flag sized sheets of this stuff arranged in such a way as to not block the lamps or solar panels. If it's so dark the solar isn't charging it's probably cloudy which means there should be some wind. Shrug. I'm loosing interest even as I type. Why not just put a conventional windmill in. Self lighting flag poles? Hmmm. I'd better keep my day job. This get rich quick thing is tough.
The initial story got some headline time. Evening news, etc. Will the settlement be given air time? IMHO No. Another step on the slippery slope the RIAA insists on walking.
I'm willing to give the music industry about $120.00 a year. $10 a month for say 100 songs. Within a few months I'll actually be pulling down half that number, I'm still paying my 10 bucks and using very little bandwidth. I'll take that in MP3 format, thank you. I'm confused, it seems so simple.
I just buy the printers in bulk at Fry's. They will run deals on Lexmarks, I'll buy three at a time. Then sell the old ones on Ebay, specifying they need cartridges. I actually make a little money if you discard the time spent on ebay, a stock sell script i use, and shiipping, post office etc is three blocks away.... Now which road were we discussing?
It looks so cool.
As a SFF nut any time you can shove a screen inside your box, like this xenarc, which supports 800x480, makes me drool. xenarc also sells a single DIN carputer. With built in pcmcia slots perhaps you could VNC into your remote servers from the parking lot using 802.ll. Try swinging that past your purchasing officer.
What I'd really like to know is why Microsoft even bothers to spend money on advertising for their OSs. Seriously... they have a monopoly in the desktop market that they've effectively leveraged to ensure that it stays that way for the foreseeable future.
Mindshare and retention. If your not actively pushing your brand, logo, product your dropping off the radar. Never, ever, stop selling the product
Perhaps you want BEAM Solar art, robots, analog circuits.
From the inventor -
The science behind the idea stems from current concepts in artificial intelligence (AI), artificial life (ALife), evolutionary biology, and genetic algorithms. It seems that building large complex robots hasn't worked well, so why not try to evolve them from a lesser to a greater ability as mother nature has done with biologics? The problem is that such a concept requires self-reproducing robots which won't be possible to (if at all) for years to come. A solution, however, is to view a human being as a robot's way of making another robot, to have an annual venue where experimenters can let their creations interact in real situations, and then watch as machine evolution occurs. In other words, robogenetics through robobiologics.
All other TV sounds like it wont have the same restrictions.
for now.

Dealing with the RIAA?
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
Reverse the concept. forget the RIAA creating a list. How about creating a database of ARTIST controlled music that is copyleft with a GPL(?) style use license. That is, music created by the artist that is free without warranty, or obligation etc etc. Perhaps something similar to what MP3.com uses. The limit would be if you want to use it in a compilation or other commercial work, then all rights are to the artist.
Find some DB/web interface gurus, (sourceforge project?), to create a portal site in some ways similar to a cross between MP3.com and a freedb.org. Artist could upload free-use/copyleft songs to the site, post some notes on the song, their upcoming gigs, locations, who their working with, etc etc. Communication could be two way between the artist and webcasters via forums and automated email? basically a blog and community site for the copyleft artist and webcasters some of whom will certainly be both artist and broadcaster. Just an outline here folks...
What's in it for the artist?
Exposure for new unsigned artist. Developed artist could use pseudonyms to try out new genres and test diverse styles. Direct feedback from listeners. No studio controlling what they release.
What's in it for webcasters?
NO RIAA. various appealing ideas. mainly escaping Orwellion copyright controls.
Has anyone already tried this? It appears there is a need.
I think that those with power in the industry are finally starting to see that the natives are indeed getting restless over this and realizing that they are headed for some extremely major consumer backlash if they press ahead with current DRM proposals.
Just the thin edge of the wedge. Wait until Joe and Jane put down a few thousand on the "media convergence device" of the future. Just watch what happens the first time they can't fast foreword through the commercial or save it onto another device, like their computer. or send it to aunt Rose. It'll be like the manufacturer stole their firstborn and sold it to the devil.
Joe will sit their thinking how his Tivo never had this problem. Wondering why this new "device" even has a fast foreword button on the remote. Then he's going to put it back in the box and demand his money back. I'll be the guy outside walmart selling front row tickets to the refund line seating. It's gonna be great fun to watch.
People went balistic when Intel tried to fingerprint their CPU. Imagine when they find out some corporate slime is profiling their viewing habits via some robust deal between the hardware manufacturer and the "media" provider. "now why do I need to have my TV hooked up to the phone?", says Joe. "Oh, thats so you can download the show listings" says the salesman. Coughing into his hand..."You'll probably want to order the deluxe package from your cable provider. Tell them you want the interactive service." chirps the friendly salesman. "Just remember you have to give them the model number of the unit and this activation number when you order."
Or something similar. We're hearing how digital TV is so great for the content creators. How secure and easy to use. They'll talk about how great the picture is. Nobody listening will care. Nobody will care how secure that is until aunt Rose can't get the news clip of Joe Jr. playing baseball Joe Sr. recorded for her. Recorded and then couldn't send to poor aunt Rose. Who will now never be able to see Joe Jr. play baseball from her wheelchair at the retirement home.
Just one possible scenario. One I like to use when describing DRM. Poor aunt rose all alone, and all the promises made of how great the future would be with these enabling technologies at our finger tips. lies, damned lies if it's allowed to happen.
Let's just say the 1st, 4th, and 6th are all getting bent a little here.
Many P2P's now have chat built in. Your not going to be exercising your freedom of speech or peacful assembly while under a DoS attack. The 4th? that old nag, I guess probable cause is enough, lets throw away the rest. And last but certainly not least the 6th. Oh sure, you'll get the speedy trial. The accuser who is doing the DOS makes sure of that, without the hastle of a jury or any "Assistance of Counsel" don't need that, your already guilty.
There great PVR/MP3 Jukeboxes. They have enough CPU to decode VCD's or play DVD's. Quiet enough to sit next to the TV without having to build a soundproof enclosure. $59 for the Cupid 2677 case and $120 for the epia 800. recycled ram, HD and scrounged a slimline CD used off ebay for another $30.
If your set on having AGP and sound about the smallest I've seen is the shuttle XPC SS51 which is Flex ATX. small enough considering many of us have been lugging 30-50 pound cases to Lan parties.
I'm waiting for someone to build the mini-ITX sized MB with an AGP riser slot. probably happen sooner then I think. I'm guessing late next year.

I figured that out immediately. Which was why I thought it was funny. My Doom install consisted of a stack of black floppies labeled D1, D2 ..
The 80387 was the first chip I installed and it was in a 386SX. I wasn't trying to change the world with an open kernel or even learn to program. It was Doom. I had to get Doom running. Oh no! Hammer pants and wine coolers! The Cure! I think I better go lay down now.
