I think its about 100 metres, which means half the current land masses would be underwater. As I understand it, this would be likely to take a thousand years to play out.
I rent a couple of rooms in my house to students and I include free internet. I have no clue what they might be downloading on it.
If I were a Kiwi, I'd be connecting to my ISP through a cheap shelf company. That way if I get sued, they can sue the empty shelf company and get nowhere. Don't know if that is a loophole or not....
I can't say if it is good value for money or not, but it would cost a heck of a lot of money to dig up the ground to lay a parallel set of trenches for the new fibre optic. Of course, the govt. was stupid in the first place to privatise Telstra whilst giving them these trenches. They should have privatised it and kept the rights to the holes in the ground.
Maybe if you'd ever tried an all-HP environment, you'd actually be in a position to comment. But as it is, you're comparing a vendor lockin Cisco environment with a rag-tag environment, and not with an all-HP environment. So aren't you being a bit silly?
I don't know exactly how long it took them to "shove it out the door", but probably less time than you think. It is after all a redo of Mac-OS with touch interface. All the paradigms were imported from Mac OS, and I don't think it would have taken them that long. Remember, it wasn't as polished as it is now when they first pushed iPhone version 1 out the door with no dev kit.
This whole thing is a storm in a teacup as far as I see. Apparently in some situations iphone4 is marginally worse than 3 GS and in other situations it is better than 3 GS. And nobody has proven that overall it is any worse or better than Nokia or Blackberry or whoever at actually holding a call. Until someone shows that, there is no story here. None at all.
When it was my job to install SSL certificates, understanding it, buying the right certificate and installing it was freakishly difficult. Everyone from the certificate issuers to the server software providers needs to get together and simplify the whole process.
That can't be the case here since they claim the updated value for the jackpot was supposed to be 11 million. So its not like the amount is out of normal scale.
Yeah, but we're not talking about a journalist giving a bad review of a product, and the company coming down on them. We're talking about a journalist who very possibly purchased stolen goods belonging to the company that is now coming down on them. Let's not get carried away making this what it is not. This is not an squeaky clean journalist getting hurt.
CSIRO sell one patent and they are a troll. But IBM sell a lot more patents are they are not trolls? Go figure. And since CSIRO are not primarily in the business of making patents and making money, why should we care if you are impressed by CSIRO's patents or not?
IBM has 400,000 employees and CSIRO has 6000. And IBM makes more money. Who would have thunk? CERN has a budget of $10 billion dollars, and CSIRO has a lot more bases to cover, and a tenth of the budget, and they couldn't afford to build CERN. Who would have thunk?
I think the point is that CSIRO fund projects that benefit the public and which otherwise would not get funded. Things like figuring out how to solve ecological disasters like rabbit plagues and various things. Sometimes they can recoup money for what they do, sometimes they can't but that's not their primary motivation.
Were 5000 people extorted for downloading Hurt Locker or for being bittorrent uploaders of Hurt Locker? I didn't think you could be got for downloading. After all, if I download something I see on the net called "Hurt Locker", how can I know if it is a copyrighted work or not? There could be other songs, video clips etc of the same name that are public domain.
But what good is cache if it isn't persistent? The OS already has a perfectly fine read cache. It's the write cache that is the problem, and a non-persistent write cache of multi-gigabytes is pretty scary if you suddenly lose power. You could wipe out an entire file system that way.
I think he is saying they could embed the local quicktime view (in the case of Mac) or whatever the equivalent is in Windows. I presume this is possible since tons of dinky little programs seem to have no problem embedding video viewers into their application, presumably by linking against some quicktime OS library.
But nothing is purely one person's stuff. Things become "popular culture", a part of the communal consciousness. Imagine if Shakespeare's descendants were lording it over everybody and everything that ever quote a few of his words. The makers of movies like Avatar would be getting sued right and left by the works that influenced them.
I think Apple is probably telling its executives that the battle with Nintendo is a battle already won. How does Nintendo recover at this point? The time when people wanted a device that can only play games is well past.
What are you talking about? The Gnutella network is just as much a generic source as the WWW. How is it harder for Firefox to filter out Madonna.mp3 than it is for Limewire to filter out Madonna.mp3?

There's probably more energy in the lava way before you get to the core, than in the uranium core itself.
Except they were asking him to decrypt without wanting the pass phrase. You decrypt without looking over your shoulder.

Car maintenance: depreciation, tyres, etc etc can easily double the raw fuel cost. You need to consider that.

I don't see why you need the "as a consumer operating system goes" qualificaton, or even the "non-geeks" qualification. Mac OS-X is after all UNIX.
Sure its Turing complete. You can load up your own javascript web site, and java script is Turing complete.
Gotcha!!

They're not talking about it on those 73000 blogs, and how long we can remain talking about it here remains an open question.

You know, I'd LOVE it if there were a party whose political platform was to block ALL legislation.
Legislation: No good ever comes of it.

I'd bet good money the contract with the manufacturer has an exclusion clause for this scenario.
