Mabye we should assign bands for specific technologies. Bluetooth, 802.11x, etc get bands in which no other technologies(or mabye a few that have shown they don't interfere with all the others using those bands) can use.
Nope, simply because of how the electrical billing system works. It uses a metering system, they don't care what you do with the power as long as you pay for the ammount you use.
It may stop some broadband sharing devices but it cannot stop people who use physical computers as gateways. For instance, I use Win2k in the main internet computer, it has two NIC's. I simply tell win2k to share the Net NIC with the LAN NIC. Any NT5/*nix system can do this with ease, how are they going to stop it?
What you're missing here is that the WinCE on DC was only for specific games. WinCE was used in very few games, it was only there to make development easier for some developers.
WinCE was never stored on the DC, it was always on the GD-ROM. Unlike the XBox which has the NT5 essentials on the hard drive.
Hasent the US Gov't/Military been using a provate network for years? Like the military would trust the ever uncertain internet for life or death communications.
"That said, I don't think the majority of the folks out there feel that way. There's a lot to be said for the strategy aspect of games, which has been sorely lacking for some time now (IMHO, for most games). Most gamers truly care about the true quality of the games they buy, and look at "gorgeous graphics" as a secondary condition."
Nah, most the poeple I talked to held out on the Dreamcast in favor of the PS2 because the PS2 would have "better" graphics.
There is no such thing as enough, we haven't even begun to explre TRUE 3D envrionments, that will require an exponentially greater ammount of power.
Well, the P4 mobo was an Intel chipset, probably the P3 also. I guess this means we should ditch 3rd party chipsets so our cpu's dont fry when our hsf falls off. Oh wait, this almost never happens!:)

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System is flawed beyond repair and would have to be completely reworked.

It has a bit more, shall we say, description. Bleemdirect.com
So much for that 802.11a 30ft range crap! Now we get a REAL revision of the wireless standard. 802.11a has just been killed.
or am I thinking I saw it on hardocp?
