Another analyst said, "Jesus, that's big." I didn't know Jesus was there...
Not only that, I think this thing will run pretty hot...it does have lots of surface area for contact with a cooler, but man, so much circuitry has got to be a furnace...
Perhaps recent AMD developments is making Intel think that heat=performance...
A thought occured to me (and evidently not to the RIAA), and I think it's a likely event...
If the industry sees piracy as the main reason for loosing money, let them think that...we all know that there are two reasons that the music industry is "suffering".
1. Overcharging on CD's. Why would we want to pay $20 for a $1 piece of plastic...
2. Crappy "talent". Over the years, the "talent" pool starts to fill up with bands, imitators, and imitators of the imitators.
It reminds me of the cycle of life and death in nature. Lots of deer(money) are around, so predators("talent") starts to feed off of them more. The predators("talent") begin to multiply until there isn't enough deer(money) to support the increase in population. The predators("talent") having less deer(money) to feed on begin to go the way of the dinos and only the strongest predators(actual talent) survive.
In the end, it means that we have to endure cycles of crappy music to get to the really good stuff...and since the good stuff has a presence, even in the midst of the crap, it's not such a big problem... soon enough, the record companies will being to trim their rosters in an effort to lose less money and we will be left with the best bands, and then the cycle will repeat.
it would probably have been better if she sait "the launch of commercial Internet subscription services was the most significant music business development of 1999"
MP3's were getting press then. The music biz should have gotten in on it then instead of fighting...they could own the whole internet music scene if they had been smarter.
The threat level can be determined from many factors:
Previous trends of the attack
The origin of the attack
The target of the attack; does it even apply to the targeted system, or does the target have a different version or operating system from what is being targeted?
After the threat level has been determined the CAS may decide to act on the alert. In this case, it sends a message to the targeted system, firewall, router and other perimeter defense mechanisms, requesting them to deny access from the origin to the targeted services and protocols. Immediately a warning flag should go up in everybody's mind about possible exploits of this step, and there certainly should be a strong mechanism of trust built between the CAS and the local network it is considering.
This sounds a lot like setting up neural network for defense... i seem to recall some people working on neural nets that might be applicable.

What's with the 59 fps on a Dual 800Mhz with a geforce 2 MX?? I can get that kinda speed on my Duron 800 with a Geforce 2 MX...I thought these PowerMacs were supposed to be "Supercomputers"...
I agree with the fact that this thing is hardly professional, but look at what is can do instead of what it can't...this thing can capture live audio, and encode to mp3 on the fly...that's pretty cool.
You also have to look at costs...My band uses Emagic's Logic for recording, and that thing is expensive, and we still have a mixing board too. This thing circumvents that huge cash outlay for a good sound device.
Also, this thing could be great for musicians trying to make that first demo. You can rent a mixing board from your local music store for a small amount of money, and then use this thing to do the recording. You won't have a lot of editing capability, but it would be good enough to give club owners in an effort to get a gig.
This sounds to me like AOLTW has quite the monopoly game going...AOLTW --they own cable (and want to charge $230 a month for it), they own IPS's, and now looking into an OS...
It'll be like landing on the boardwalk with a hotel on it...
Burden's prediction: East: 479,000 frags vs West: 312,000 frags.
Kilgore's prediction: East: 548,000 frags vs West: 612,000 frags
Is it just me, or do those figures seem a little low... let's see...5 000 players, at 1 frag per hour each over 6 days is about 720 000 frags...and i certainly hope they can get more than 1 frag per hour...if each got 5 frags per hour, that's 3.6 million frags...Sweet Merciful Crap!
And don't tell me that they won't be going the whole time, because they will...
Great point on the business model being rendered obsolete. The interesting thing is that it won't be copying of music and movies that make the industry obsolete...it will be people that stop relying on the music and movie industries for distribution... why do you need a multi-million dollar company to distribute your music when you have the internet? You don't even need the industry for production... you can put together a pro-level recording studio for under $10,000...CD pressing is cheap, and then you distribute via the internet...
Here we have an actual interview with Aunt Tillie, and we got her opinion on this topic...
Pro Coder: "So Aunt Tillie, how would you like to compile your own custom Linux Kernel?"
Aunt Tillie: "What the hell are you talking about?"
Pro Coder: "You know, compile a custom Linux Kernel, so you can have a very customized OS."
Aunt Tillie: "Why would I want to do that?"
The conclusion we draw from this interview is:
your average user doesn't have any idea what a Linux Kernel is and that they don't need a custom kernel, at least not yet

nope, linux in single user mode...it logs you oin automatically as root
You can break into a linux box in about 1 minute if you have access to it...probably less if you practice :)

Apparently, they have gone insane...
It'll make me feel like James Bond, without being British, or having so many STD's...

2. If you were earning an income from this game, how would you report it on your income tax?
I think this article is another example of how slow massive companies have become at meeting market demand.
yeah, but the low frags/hour estimates compensate for that

...but how am I supposed to fit that in my case?
I see what you mean, but in the end, i think that setting up a system like that wouldn't be cost effective for UMG...
Ummm..if UMG is making every effort to eliminate those problems...won't they be defeating the copy protection that they just implemented?
As far as I can tell, this might give researches some more information on the possible existence or non-existence of so called "graviton" particles...
