The winner is Marek Cygan from Warsaw University. Second prize goes to Erik-Jan Krijgsman from University of twente (Holland) and third to Pyotr Mitritchew from Moscow State University."
Can someone Google for me the problems they had to solve? I'm not finding it.
Not Gmail, where "option" is a term too rarely employed, except in reference to employee compensation.
This comment's a little out of place for a comparison between two webmail system. Seems like Walt Mossberg missed out on the IPO and isn't happy with Google.
...XBOX division was getting the best and the brightest...A seperate XBOX company therefore would be a group of intelligent bright people who would turn a profit shortly, and whose stock would rise much like an early Microsoft.
While I don't doubt that Xbox Div. got the best and brightest, I suspect that it's only the technical divsion. A fullly spun out division would have to have a new CEO, create a new board of directors, etc. This would create a major disruption. And they can't really use the old board because they were more or less the problem.
Except for 7-11 Japan wanting to buy 7-11 US, I can't recall any other spinoffs that ended up doing well.
In the South Park movie, Bill Gates got shot in the head and everyone in the theater laughed. Once South Park wants to kill you, the teeming masses will follow.

They don't seem to be readily available in stores or by mail order. Looking at the Mini-itx.com website, it still talks about signing up to for early-bird purchases. Nor it it available at my local Fry's Electronics. Also I don't recall any fanfare reguarding Nano-itx board being available for purchase. I'm still subscribed to at least 2 Epia/Nano fan sites.
Unless they're available for anyone to buy, I wouldn't call the Nano-itx an actually shipping product.
Over 2 years ago, I bought the M10000 Nehemiah boards when they came out. Since then, there have been small increases in CPU speed and a few new mobos with different configurations.
The Nano-ITX's were supposed to be the next big thing. The Nano boards would be around 4.5" square, with SATA...etc. From what I can remember, it sounded like a great little board. For the first year after they were announced Nano-ITXs were shown at the various tech trade shows. This year, I can't remember hearing about them at all.
It's been long enough without a Nano-itx release that I'm starting to think that Nano-itx boards are vaporware and taking with it the rest of the VIA epia line.
I know people are going to mention MythTV and other DIY solutions. But I was wondering, is there a project out to completely hack a Tivo into running MythTV? That way, if the worse case happens, Tivo owners with computer skills can just migrate to other software while still using the Tivo hardware.
...RIAA is hoping that the transition to "digital audio broadcasting" will provide enough confusion and panic that they can persuade Congress or the FCC to impose some kind of copy-protection scheme or regulation on digital radio broadcast.
People who have swapped [from IE to Firefox], even if this is a blip, should ask whether the assumption that Firefox is more secure than IE is valid anymore. They shouldn't just rely on changing their browser, but may think about having to look at a different configuration."
By different configuration, I think he means, "Buy our products! Or else."
for the music industry. All Baidu has to do is frame the lawsuit as a bunch of multinational companies trying to beat up a homegrown Chinese company, (if it is one).
Bam...instant grassroots support for Baidu. Or whatever the grassroot equivalent is in a communist state.
Actually I think tech. can make dumb people even more dumb.
Instead of people saying "I don't know.", which only makes them, "ignorant", they'll google for a quick answer. But quick answers are not always the right answer, especially when the topic is complex.

Because the Slashdot April Fools jokes are written by unpaid fools. If you want quality fools, you have to go with RIAA or MPAA.
Oh wait...nevermind, carry on.
This article is the biggest dupe I've ever seen!
Thanks for the info, but sadly, it's too late for me. A friend sold me his Mac Mini at basically a 50% discount.

No... because it's hideously expensive to print 10lb newspapers every day.
I can do it but my little sister, or mom?
I'm not so fearful of my own 1st point. But I really don't want to be tech support whenever some show doesn't get recorded.

Building your own PVR is a great idea but:
First, not everyone has the skills or time to build one.
Second, if you build one for friends and family, you become their tech support.
You think that's bad? I though of it!
I'd stab my own brain if it wouldn't kill me.
But One Night in Tom Green would be going way too far.
Legislate a way for us to survive.
