As that guy from Jurassic Park in the old Apple iMac commercials exclaimed, "There's no step three!" for connecting to the Internet. Sorry, I couldn't resist sharing that memory.
He does say that infinite days is not true, so it would have to be a finite number at or above four. It's like string theory, but without a foundation or an application.
This could turn out to be as fair as Gene Ray's demands for a Time Cube debate. "I will give $1,000.00 to any person who can disprove 4 days in each earth rotation." It's hard to argue with illogic supported by illogic and get something remotely cogent. Think presidential debates. Conclusion: garbage in, garbage out.
Interesting that all but one of the UNIX probs can also be traced to Windows. Apache runs on on Unix and Windows. FTP, RPC etc etc
Apache is optimized and was originally designed for Unix. FTP is a standard Internet protocol that likely had its origins in Unix. While the problems you state afflict Windows and Unix alike, they cannot be "traced to Windows." They should be under a generic category for all systems, as HTTP and FTP servers are, in general, large security risks, if caused by nothing more than improper setup.
Do any of these new devices license Apple's handwriting recognition, from the Newton? In fact, the Newton is so old, I wonder if anyone has taken that code and improved it even further? I loved not having to learn Graffiti. I want to buy a new handheld, but I want it to be hyper-intuitive. What about voice commands? Can any of them handle that out-of-the-box yet?
Sorry to post objective information about a Microsoft product on Slashdot (ducks moderators that are Linux and Ellen Feiss followers or have an unhealthy obsession with the latter), but Pocket PCs have the closest to natural handwriting recognition (formerly known as Calligrapher). Several Pocket PCs also come with voice recognition for a limited selection of choices (like Contacts/Address Book). Pocket PC dosn't get much benefit from the X-Scale processor, though, so performance/capability has hit a ceiling for now. ActiveSync has some issues, and PPCs only officially work with Windows, so it's your call. I don't know of the capabilities of the newest Palms, but they might offer something similar.
"Valenti = idiot;" just makes Valenti an idiot. "Valenti == idiot;" shows that he already is one. What you mean is "Valenti idiot", unless he's so bad that he overflows on the negative side and comes out as a genius.
...right next to the sign that says eveything in space will run on Oracle and NetWare servers, COINCIDENTALLY two sponsors of the exhibit. They need to update the GPS section, too. It still says consumers can't access the high-resolution positioning, which is no longer the case.
This seems like just an attempt to add the abilities of firewire's P2P model to USB.
Tactile Feedback Exists Today

My father works for a division of Medtronic (Powered Surgical Solutions) that is testing tactile-feedback versions of these devices. They work like force-feedback joysticks.
Consoles just don't work well for group gaming today. Their network connections are fine, but 10 TVs in one room is just too much. Add DVI connectors and I would have no objection.
I think many of the opinions here will reinforce the general divide between/.ers and the general populace. PCs are great for games if you know how to run and configure them, but I've never heard of consoles having resource conflicts, bad drivers, or inconsistent performance issues. Anyway,/.ers should be excited that a mostly non-Microsoft platform is succeeding.
Actually, iPod has more "protection" of content than the Nomad series. Nomads can sync with more than one PC. iPods can't. People have also hacked the Nomads to remove the little protection present.
Licensing Microsoft technology for your own OS is bound to failure since you compete with Microsoft. I could only concieve Apple doing this, and they have a stance against that technology.
You can't shield against EMP with a conductor unless it completely encloses the entire system. A communication tower MUST have cables going to unsheilded equipment. Shielding communication equipment would cause the equipment to malfunction, and I didn't see a giant copper shield around the towers in the pictures.
I don't think the electronics of such a complex system, especially one designed to capture signals, could withstand the EMP effect of a nuclear explosion 5 miles away. Vacuum tubes are some of the only "advanced" electronics that can withstand anything, let alone transistors. The EMP effect was only well understood in the 1960s and later, a bit after these towers were built.
Oh, and imagine a nationwide Beowulf cluster of these. [Ducks moderators]

Microsoft decided that the system was so crash-prone that no encryption was necessary to keep people from copying the content.
It's permanently burned into my memory from my days on AOL.

It's pronounced with a simultaneous click of the tongue, as in "!Kung," the nomadic group indiginous to Africa.

riaa.org or timecube.com?

Just add a less-than sign between the last Valenti and idiot to make the comment make sense.
"Valenti = idiot;" just makes Valenti an idiot.
"Valenti == idiot;" shows that he already is one.

Windows 2000 Server feels the same way about the domain. Try *.local as the extension.

Funny, I carry my DNA in microscopic form every day.

I'd rather give them a patent. That means no one else can create such an operating system without a legal battle.
