Well, of course Apple will go after them. They don't have a history of laying down.
This has got to be a joke.. We couldn't have lost the classified documentation on this.. Skills, sure, but knowledge?
If we have, god help us.
As always, they confuse the cause with the effect.
Other factors are in effect that are more common with people that are heavily into that kind of gaming.
Odd, i didn't get an answer.
Now that i'm throttled ( comcast user here ), what is in it for me to share my bandwidth for their benefit?
You forgot another big reason for a company to disappear instead of shrink : Governmental involvement.
There may be no 'next'. Terrorism is timeless and can be milked forever.
And the fear of not being 'with us' sill squelch a lot of people that disagree.
Or you get a different FPGA board.. VGA/LCD output would cover most people that need video so its the most common ( and cheapest ).
Even the shows are an ad now, using paid product placement.
Content. Or rather lack of. TV has become mostly a waste of time and more commercial then valuable content.
TV committed suicide.
I was thinking a cheap dev kit. Not a loose chip.
99 bucks gets you one that outputs VGA and can emulate most any 'retro' machine you want. Sure, might have to write some code if you want something really esoteric that no one has done yet, but the power is there.
No, they would rather just get the federal government to tax us all and send the $ direct to the MPAA.
Then sue anyone that is dumb enough to go see a movie.
Setting that up across the nation and keeping it maintained would be a nightmare.
So many differences across the theaters, even identical ones would have to be calibrated at least every show, if not continuously during the show.
Or just where the microphone was....
One FPGA.
You must be kidding, no company would ever charge for out of band support.
*yawn*
Well of course, since they trust their own.
"off bit-torrent" thats a good way to propagate false assumptions that the only thing its used for is copyright infringement.
And nothing of value was lost.
You cant legislate common sense. Even tho they are right, it IS a F-ing planet.
If they infect enough machines, perhaps something will finally be done about it.
It's kind of a flaw that is endemic to the commercial software development model.
Yup, the true price of bloat.
Don't laugh, i think CA still sells something like that, and god only knows how much they want for it.
There is a reason we are coming full circle:
In the business world terminals really are the best way to do business, for 95% of your end users.
Power
And reliability, scaleability.. ( ok, 3 words )
