This technology could encode bits in it that tell recording devices they can't record. I know what you're thinking: use old technology. But what if you record this and then all the new cd players detect this flag? Any other thoughts on this?
Looks like they have pissed off audiophiles as well...'no digital outputs are being put on SACD/DVD-AUDIO Players until they can secure the digital audio stream'...wtf is the point of higher quality sound on a disc if the output will be even worse?
I hope this generates a PR Nightmare for microsoft and maybe other countries will follow. Especially with quotes like this:
Judging from this example it would appear that the obscenely rich Beast intends to use non-profit organizations in desperately poor countries to subsidize its promotional ambitions and its sales strategy.
that is the best way to guarantee your show will have a short run: confuse the new viewers.
Not just new viewers...I hate it when there is a series I like and then I miss one episode and it just seems as though I missed so much I can never get back into it.
Believe me, I know how to tweak Windows when I can. Even still, I've yet to see a Windows box reliably stay both stable and fast for more than about a week at a time.
Windows is like a house of cards, it's stable so long as you don't touch it;)
They are actually worse then the government if you think about it since what they are doing has already been declared illegal and many things they have done have been illegal and all they get is a slap on the wrist "don't do it again" the government says. The government and microsoft probably have closer ties than most people would like to think...some kind of twisted symbiotic relaionship...parasitic to the people however...(Editors Note: Or Maybe I am just paranoid)
Like the Digital Millenium Copyright Act defined how Copyright functions in cyberspace, a Cyber-ADA needs to be passed by Congress to define how (and whether) the handicapped shall access cyberspace.
Don't ever do that again. Don't look to the DMCA as a source of inspiration for any new laws governing computers/the internet as it is most definately one of the worst.
Well I know for playstation 2 there have been shitty conversions where the game was letterboxed and the frame rate was halved....I honestly don't know about Xbox or Gamecube though.
What I don't understand is what is the big difference between Australian and imported games? It is probably the same games, the same royalties are being paid, and so on. Australians, can you explain this to us?
Australia and Europe both get screwed 90% of the time when it comes to video games. Game releases always come out late and a lot of game companies do a really shitty NTSC->PAL conversion so it ends up being horrible. Most people in the world own American consoles and/or modified consoles.
On *this* article the half-screen ad that shows up is for visual studio.net?
Seriously, How many times do people need to say this? In every microsoft article on slashdot that I read I see a similar comment and it is always modded up. It's old! It's _not funny anymore_!
What will the cash cows think of next? I mean this is just an attempt to capitalize on an already successful movie. In other words, no matter how shitty this movie is a lot of people will go to see it anyway. And it will probably be pretty bad....
How could any establishment allow someone to do this to themselves? Shouldn't someone have reported what his person was doing so they could get him help? I just don't understand how anyone could watch as someone deteriorates over a period of several days until they die.
The problem that bugbear exploits was patched back in march. Only retards are susceptible
That is a ridiculous statement! If you read through all the things listed maybe you would realise some people _can't_ install microsoft's patches because of there EULA requirements.
Then maybe the real question is: Where is the line drawn between surveillance/invasion of privacy and a 'fair and equitable' amount of photos/images of people. And I don't know about you, but I don't want _my_ tax dollars to go into systems that are going to track me.
The article hits the nail on the head: if you can see it, you can copy it. Please note that the recording industry thinks they can change this sort of thing, by requiring all analog to digital converts (ADCs) to respect some sort of digital protection. Those dumb shits...:)
Exactly.
For some reason people get all scared when anything is "digital".
What actually happens after all the drive letters are used up in windows? (Of course I could find out by mapping network drives over and over...but that would be insane)
This would be a great feature for P2P developers to add - the ability to first search an internal network for your file before resorting to a search of the wider internet.
The GPL-licensed gnucleus gnutella P2P client has a version specifically for this.
From the site:
"Gnucleus LAN - If your college blocks gnutella use this to create an internal network for you and your friends. General rule is if you can play network games over your school network, gnucleus will also work. This version can be run on the same computer as the internet version."
hah! (for those who don't know, senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut is one of the most active people in proposing legislation to censor computer software/video games)
Don't you think it helps to have one desktop look that people can associate with? The mindless computer using drones of society need something without choices, so long as it's not chosen by microsoft or other closed source thugs. So isn't Red Hat doing the right thing?
Slashdot Mirror
Reminds me of the Dolby Digital vs. DTS (and to a lesser extent vs. SDDS) debate. It all depends on how it is encoded.

Now I must make a mod for tux racer so the penguins are on snowboards!...just have to learn to code a little better first ;)

Mortal Kombat 2 for SNES has red blood in it, it's Mortal Kombat 1 your thinking of

a la survivor, screw it. Otherwise I might give it a sporting chance.

And any attempt by companies to prove otherwise is going to alienate potential customers.
