Why would this make them cheaper than the competition? Canon and Epson already integrate the print head into the printer rather than the cartridge. Of course HP's argument was always that you got better and more reliable output by recieving a new printhead each time you reaplced the cartridge, not sure how they will deal with their own PR (similar to Intel and the Mhz myth).
Yes, in fact the HDCP spec specifically bars the decryption of protected content on general purpose PC's. That means no more media center XP, no more homebrew PVR's, no more doing as you wish with your purchased content. And of course once the encryption is cracked the easiest way to enjoy your purchase will be to break the law (DMCA) and strip all the "protection" nonesense and so with it as you damn well please.
Guess you never owned a pair of Sennheisers then. While their cords are anything but thin they have designed their headphones so that the cord can be easily replaced. This is to ensure that the headphones are long lasting, which is just one of many reasons why their product commands a large enough premium for them to make plenty of profit without designing things to break every few months. Hell when my son stepped on my headphones (which he had dragged to the ground) and it broke the jack in the headphones Sennheiser USA support sent me a replacement part free with free shipping despite the fact that they no longer even sold my model =)
Exactly. As far as I see it the Shuttle has met it's design goals, one percent failure. Columbia was that failure, stuff happens. Challenger was just an incredibly stupid loss that occoured because politics and beurocracy won out over sound engineering. While it can be argued that Challenger was a failure of the Shuttle program it had little to do with the act of getting into and out of space. Even after the Columbia accident there isn't one person on a Shuttle flight crew that wouldn't go up again, they know that there is a non insignificant risk of death, it doesn't phase them. Hell even if you count Challenger the Shuttle system has about the came percentage chance of mortality as ascending Everest, yet you don't hear people calling for the mountain to be closed to climbers or that high altitude recovery programs should be scrapped.
Of course they are not mindless technophobes. For one thing every member of the sect is given a period in late adolecense where they are to go forth and experience the rest of society before they join the church. This insures that they have made a choice that is at least somewhat informed. They are an interesting group of very deeply religious folk who have very good reasons for believing as they do. Hell one of my favorite vacations was one where I didn't touch an electronic device for an entire week, it was SO much more relaxing than any other vacation I have ever taken that I have to sometimes wonder if I wouldn't be more happy if I were to give it all up and live life in the simpler fashion of the amish.
Hehe, well Maya/AutoCAD/content creation are obviously exceptions to the low bandwidth rule =) Heck I don't think you could possible do those type of apps over any of the remote protocols except possibly X with low latency/high bandwidth connections. But again those are the outliers, 99% of office apps can be run just fine over remote protocols without requiring tons of bandwidth.
Are you crazy? RDP/ICA works wonderfully at 33.6/56Kbps, and is acceptable at 28.8 speeds. The only thing I can't do is play video, which is more a function of how the technologies work then a shortcoming of the bandwidth. The real answer to where the need is is video. DVD quality standard definition video is 9.8Mbps when encoded with MPEG2, about 2/3rd's that for MPEG4. HDTV quality video is 19Mbps for ATSC broadcast spec.
chances are very good that it will work with Mozilla, but I can't say for sure because the numbskulls at google have decided to protect me from myself and blocked access to the XPI based on some lame browser detection javascript. I'm sure I can get around it but I can't be arsed for the little benifit the toolbar would bring me. Personally I just have google set as my homepage and a new google search is as simple at ctrl-t alt-home, muscle memory means it takes a fraction of a second to perform.
ANY webdav server should work fine with modern (2000+) versions of windows. For a quick example of how end user documentation should look check out this page I found from a quick google search for webdav windows explorer.
Of the three only MS(Giant) anti-spyware is an active process like an antivirus scanner. Spybot will add a bunch of sites to the blocked sites list in IE, and will monitor certain registry keys for changes, but it doesn't scan incoming files. Ad-Aware only has a realtime option in the paid versions. I personally haven't tried it yet as my new employer doesn't have much of a spyware problem (user education and spyware services in the firewall).
Yep, when I was a consultant we used these at most of our clients. They would call a list of numbers which was great for rotating duty and they would tell you exactly which monitored condition had tripped the alarm.
The problem is every time they see a blip in sales they blame it on the "IP Pirates" rather than on an antiquated business model or crap product. I mean the homogonization of radio and the reduction in mainstream musical breadth couldn't possibly turn off a LOT of listeners, could it? Nah, we'll consume whatever their "safe" market tests tell them we will so that they can minimize risk.
48v is the standard, real life shows anywhere from 40v to 150v. The minimum is 40Vrms (delivered into a 5 REN load). Not sure where you would ever see anything over 100v, but aparantly it does happen.
Uh, where does it say that the president has unlimited power to put whoever he wants on the bench? From what I see he has the power to appoint judges with "the advise and consent" of the congress. That little clause is meant to be one of the many checks and balances engrained into the constitution. It means that a tyrany of the masses is that much more difficult. From an objective point of view Washington is at its best when it is doing almost nothing, when only those ideas that are almost universally supported are passed into law. The rest of the time the pundulum is swinging too far to one side or the other, usually with bad results for everyone.
Compared to the millions spent on even the Linux solution it's a non-issue. Hell the support cost per box is probably some large fraction of that cost per year, no matter who you go to for support. Hell the cost of one employee to admin any solution will be some decent multiple of that per year (even if you were only paying the person $43k/year they would cost at least twice that with taxes and crappy benifits.)
Hmm, I would say their ruling on thermal imaging devices was pretty novel. They not only ruled that the police were required to get a warrant for the use of that specific device, but also laid down that any device which allowed the police to see in a manner enhanced from the naked eye would also require a search warrant.
China has a very real reason to crack down on piracy and trademark infringement, as their economy grows so too will the IP portion of the economy. NPR had an interesting bit about the Chineese buyout of major international brands like Lenevo buying the IBM PC brand. The reporter noted that in China it is VERY difficult to build a brand name because as soon as you get to reaping rewards from your investment in PR your competitors can simply volume produce the same junk and throw your logo on it. If they want to go about brand making as a homegrown art rather than buying the talent and product abroad then they will need to strengthen domestic IP law and enforcement.
By dubious I assume you mean SPARC laptops, because laptops as a whole are a huge business, accounting for 51% of pc sales by revenue last year and rising.
I remember when you could get a luggable from Tadpole that had more power then a 4x Intel server. Man those were the days, before Intel's marketing killed off all of the superior chips.
There are flash memories around designed specifically for PC applications that do random distribution of writes so that they don't wear out a particular cell too quickly. They have a lookup table which maps logical calls to physical locations.
Get them a VPN, get them a corporate email account and some way (webmail, RPC over HTTP, etc) to send email, etc. Sorry but relying on known broken mechanisms for your business isn't my problem. Sure I believe Sender-ID is dead, but the idea that they embraced and extended (SPF) is not. Many ISP's already either block messages or give them extremely high spam scores based on the lack of an SPF record, this isn't that new. SPF is about raising the bar for spammers, and hopefully we can eventually figure out which registrars are helping the spammers setup throw away domains and either pull their ability to create new domains, or find some other way to get them to stop support the scum.
Hmm, we have: 1)bomb research 2)proof of concept 3)aeronautics research 4)climatology research 5)general science research 6)astronomy research 7)bomb research 8)biology research 9)computer science research 10)bomb research
So, unlike five years ago most of the large supercomputers (published on the list) are used for scientific research rather than making and maintaining big bombs. Personally I'd say that's real progress, but I have to thank the government for keeping the industry going through what were otherwise some hard times.

I think that the guys over at penny arcade got it exactly right with this cartoon.

into this highly dubious market segment.

Is that for real? Because if it is, it's truely awsome! That room is a work of art in what looks to be a building that is itself a work of art.
