I would say they should focus on providing the same quality as pirated material on all markets at the same time. They can never provide better quality, since what they provide will be copied. But make sure all customers with good enough connections can stream/download as high quality as possible, for a fair price. Don't geo block. The ones who get blocked will get it some other way. No need for big investments in DRM. What can be seen & heard can and will be replicated. Accept that. You're just making it annoying for legitimate customers, while the pirates enjoy DRM free versions from torrent sites.
What caused the 2 billion price tag? Is alot of research included? Extremely difficult to create the device or what? (Not meant as criticism, just curious because $2 billions sounds like a lot of money..)
The point in time in which the universe decides whether the cat died or not is when we test it, not before. If we never test the cat, it is neither alive nor dead.
Uhm.. No? The point in time the cat died is exactly that point in time, whenever we test it? If we never test the cat, it's *either* alive or dead..
Will the operators find a solution, or can the creators of VoIP apps easily find ways around the operators efforts to block them? How would the operators block an encrypted voice call on a random port?
I use XP at home and Win7 at work. I guess many of the things which annoy me in Win7 is possible to fix, but I try to use Win7 and hopefully in the future figure out why it is better, even though I don't see it now. Here are some of the things I don't like with 7 anyway: - Where is the good old quick launch for the small utils I use all the time? - When clicking on an app in the menu bar I normally want to open a new instance of it, not hide/show the existing instance. - When right clicking on an icon in the menu field for an open app the menu window opens far from the mouse cursor (not a few pixels like in XP). In XP I -really- don't need to aim at all for right click -> close app selection. - When clicking on the calculator button on my keyboard the Win7 brings the open calculator to the front instead of opening a new instance. - XP feels snappier / faster. - I like the XP explorer / file manager much more than the one in Win7.
So, what's keeping me on XP? The user experience. I guess Win7 is much more powerful "under the hood" and everything, but so far I haven't experienced anything making me think "Oh, that's good.. Too bad it's not available in XP".
I like visual studio with visual assist x as my development platform for C++. I'm also using Eclipse CDT on my Ubuntu box, but I occationally have problems with debugging remote hardware and experience small bugs here and there. Maybe it's stuff hardcore linux ppl easily fix, but for me it's easier to go with windows. I would love to switch though, so do you have any suggestions about what to use for C++ development in Linux?
1. Save $1.5 trillion in 10 years with the help from a new tax.
2. Save another $1.5 trillion in 10 years from other cuts.
3. Problem solved..?...But there are $1.3 trillions missing -every- year, what's going to cover the rest?
I don't have any special opinion about Steve or Apple, normally don't use any of their products...But I still think it's good that the running dude did it while Steve personally can enjoy his tribute.
Sure, but who wants to buy a car that only gets 100 miles, then needs to be recharged every 50 miles?
I do!
My work is located ~15miles from my home and I could charge the car (for free!) all day while I'm working. A car which could go ~100 miles would cover almost all my personal transportation needs (not only to and from work), and if I would need to go longer I could rent or borrow another car (or take a bus / cab).
I think the reason they force us to be online at all time is that their new drm stuff probably place some of the application logic on the drm servers.. Of course we'll hate not beeing able to play without beeing online, but I don't see how it can get cracked (if not some clever crackers reverse engineer the stuff controlled from the drm servers).
I've been asking myself "Why don't they build a -lower- performance all electric car, cheaper, shorter distance, smaller?" Finally there seems to be a perfect car *for me*. My work is 20km from here, most family ~25km, copenhagen ~35km.. I think I would be able to use the car for almost all my transportation, except when I go rock climbing.
The electricity will mostly be free of charge for me, since I'll recharge it in a charging station at work.
I wonder how many years the batteries are supposed to last, and how much it will cost to get new ones though.
Exactly. I didn't know it was a hazzle taking the bus in the US before reading about it here, so I gave an example about how public transportation can work in other countries.
Aha! My first thought when I read the anonymous comment about public transportation was "exactly, why not take the bus if you need to go for a long ride?". I've never felt the need for a car and always take the bus to work. During rush hour there's a bus every 5 minutes departing from "my" city to the city where I work, so I never have to check any timetable.
I'd love to see a low performance short range cheap mass produced electric car. I don't need 0-100km/h in 3 seconds / or > 50 miles range when driving to the store. What I DO need is some way to transport myself short distance in the rain when I don't wanna take the bike.. I live in Sweden btw.
...I've always wondered how they put large cables in the seas in the first place..? A transatlantic cable for example, do they have a really really really long one or connect many shorter?..Or do they manufacture it on the fly as they go?
Anyone got a link with information about how these things work?

In which way is this nerd related..?

Can't you just stop patent bomb everything and let patents cover "real" new stuff?
..it doesn't seem to be just another april fools joke :/

How do they lay out these cables? Are they on the bottom or floating & anchored? Are there repeaters? Anywone know where I can read about it?
