No, we aren't confused about MD5. You're confused about MD5. MD5 is a hash algorithm such that you cannot obtain the original file from the hash. There's details on how it works here.Simply speaking, it's almost impossible to get two files with the same MD5sum, as the algorithm goes through the entire file and applies mathematical transformations so the resulting sum is unique to the file. Getting a file with the same checksum is nearly impossible in the 128 bit keyspace.
Yes, this is mostly true, but you're not accurate about creative gaming approaches. How about, Black and White, the Sims (city, people, etc) series, Freedom Force, Civilization (series), Worms 2, Syberia?
Yes, the PC has an unfortunate number of bad titles, but the consoles have an even number of crappy titles too. It's the money that drives the poor qualities these days, as development houses use lots of cash, and short development cycles to rush unoriginal ideas out the door.
All xboxes are unflashable via TSOP. You CANNOT flash an xbox bios without connecting the write enable tracks on the motherboard. Xbox live only requires a dashboard upgrade, which installs to the HARD DRIVE.
Xbox live does NOT modify the bios in ANY WAY.
www.xboxhacker.net, and www.xbox-scene.com has information on xbox live updates.
In a zero downtime environment, you may need to replace a faulty processor while the system is still hot. Most of these systems are multiprocessor though, which is why it exists.
Rather close really. Slashdotted sites come back up a few days later, then go down again when the story is reposted for the Xth time. I'd suppose the same for cities, which are really big bomb targets. I mean, what's more convenient than a population center?
Seriously, do you see the cybersquatter problem now? Imagine if they didn't have to pay a dime to register slahsdaht.org . We'd have thousands of trolls going to the wrong site..
Note the $5 rebate thing that they are proposing. If the rebate is $5, than we can assume that the phones are costing them more than that, probably far more. Assuming that their phones are costing them that much, add in the cost of service with a CDMA carrier... it doesn't seem like the company is going to be too successful.
Besides, the phone looks like garbage. The modern cell phone really took off when models started to look good.
Not really so as much out of control, as totally in control of the copyright commandos. I say that any software company needs to use their armed agents to take down warez guys. Comon, the feds need theirs for other stuff, like those kazaa file sharing guys.
MS, we know you have the spec ops guys, take them off the LinuxWorld booth security, and take down the pirates yourselves.
Listen, you can't charge more for innovation! You CAN charge money for better graphics. nVidia can charge us $400 for a Geforce 5, but blizzard can't make a really innovative game and charge us $400 for it. It simply doesn't work. Innovation demands a longer development cycle, which is clearly not good.
Bottom line: Pretty colors can be a subsitute for innovation, according to game developers. Anything that sells eh?
Actually, no, the USB ports are not really standard. The plugs are a different shape,and have an extra wire. You can put stuff in it, but you need an adapter. Besides that, its the same, yes.

Blame the way the modern game industry evolved.
Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

You're trolling. Someone mod this guy down.
Any UltraSparc under the Sun uses OpenFirmware.

This is slashdot. All of them.
Ha! That's bloody impossible. The MS signing key is a 1024 bit key. Good luck, it'll take a while. In a billion years.
Yeah, I know, thank all the .sig porn locators for beating out Kazaa's extensive collection. And a big hand to all the goatse trolls.
Hope that gaming table didn't contain the web server too, because it'll be up in flames. All that time wasted...

Now, the sad part is that I saw those on ebay a while back, only that they added the image after people bid.
Oh, it's easy, just follow the CEO's example. Take your budget and report it as revenue.

Ya, you got it on the spot. He's Mensa. What? Are you surprised?
You mean lobotomized right? ;)

Great idea. Now we just get a dual proc athlon, and the Radeon 8500 MAXX, and we adapt that "Foundry in every home" story on slashdot a while back.
I can melt alloys with my PC!

Left out the Geforce 3 didn't you? Lets see, what's cheaper now? $101 - GeForce3 (pricewatch) So your system is now $320. Perhaps a renderfarm?

Look, this is slashdot, give this guy a break. 3 out of 5, uh.. 4.. ain't bad right? ;)
Who needs a microwave? :)
This is true, which allows for a much cooler and more useful gizmo, the GBA TV tuner, kinda like the Game Gear one a while back.

Basically, you are correct, as the thing processes everything, and displays it on the LCD.
