Now thats all great a dandy but wouldn't this technology better applied for artificial limbs that could function like a regular body part?
Will this set the standard on future legal cases? And if DVDs are not software then where does that put the interactive game dvds? (i.e. dragons lair and space ace)
My cable internet provider actually says its perfectly fine to use NAT routing so long as you don't goto them for support, so I am definately not worried about them 'cracking down'
The net yaroze was in fact a VERY scaled down development system, if you can even call it that. It would use a serial cable to connect to the pc and had a special program to run. The most you could do was upload small programs the size of the playstations memory (2MB IIRC). It did not allow access to the cd drive at all either. The real development was done with caetla flashed PAR carts that have a special interface card and allow full access to the playstation hardware. The point is that although sony likes to look great by promoting software development, it was such a scaled down system that I don't see how it could be very useful.
They're still among the top ten sites for hits on the Web for sure. I bet it has something to do with my entire school district having yahoo as the home page on every computer and on a similar note I could see schools paying for this 'premium search' crap
You just reminded me that Sony wants to go into some kind of agreement with AOL. And because sony is partial to linux for an OS on PS2(Dev systems use it, and there is a consumer version out in Japan). Maybe AOL (plainning on)buying out redhat is somehow related?
What if every bug in windows is deliberately put there? What if every patch fixes one bug and opens up another? The true purpose of the bug would be for microsoft to monitor what you are doing on your pc. Paranoia...maybe?...reality...why not?
I don't see this patch listed when I goto windows update? Is this just me or are more people not going to think they need to download the patch because it doesn't show up?
What about sattelite internet using the same principals as the sattelite radio? You could listen to streaming shoutcast/icecast mp3 streams that would sound just as good to some people. Plus you get the internet so you can do a lot more with this then just listening to music!

I just own a Japanese PS2 and play only Japanese games anyway ;)
These people don't like the new verizon ad. "Can you hear me now?"

That would be why I actually only use FTP for transfers anymore ;P
What I want to know is why a poll wasn't made out of this?
Hope your christmas lights don't get slashdotted...
