To be fair it wont take forever. Don't use printscreen exactly. If printscreen can do it, then anything that can access the window handle can likely get all the data. Its part of windows design that allows such things as print preview.
However, anyone that has encoded or decoded video on a computer knows that you may need an incredibly fast harddrive to keep up with 24 fps of unencrypted uncompressed 1280x1024 resolution x million color data being written to your drive.
But of course the professionals will have no problems accomplishing this.
The real truth is that it will be broken like everything else is broken, from the inside. Especially if they make the HDCP players or TV sets in China...
My LCD is a ViewSonic, my CRT is an Optiquest. Same manufacturer. I'd say the LCD is superior but I will grant you that I did not do any color correction on either unit. Avsforum has taught me that the default colors today are set to strong in order to attract people in the stores.
My HDTV does not have DRM. Only certain newer HDTVs will posses that today. Its called HDCP and it uses HDMI. Its only there because the HDDVDs will not output their highest resolution without HDCP being on. HDTV from the cable or over the air does not posses any DRM.
My HDLCD projector is not 3x as expensive. Your calling avsforum biased but it seems to me that you are highly biased and that most of your points are not exactly valid. You seem to get your impression of HDTV from HDDVD but these are not the same thing.
Lol, beware? I guess its kind of a problem that my old computers don't die. I bought the Harddrives first. I think I ran into a drive size barrier on my computer so buying the hardware PATA RAID card solved two problems.
Beware: They have SATA versions as well. Not all of their SATA support hot plug though I don't think. Pay more get more...
These 3ware cards are definitely hardware RAID. You are spreading FUD.
The parallel card is the $110 on newegg.
From Newegg StorSwitch switched architecture delivers the full performance benefit of Parallel ATA's pointto- point architecture up to 133MB/sec per port On-board processor provides true hardware-based RAID and intelligent drive management functions BIOS set up utility and 3ware Disk Management (3DM) web-based management software Bootable array support for greater system fault tolerance
Software RAID is good for speeding up your disks, but I would never do Software RAID for data redundancy. Nor would I use it for east of recovery after a failure. I have used it for several years and the failures are nothing but trouble to get going again.
Hell there are only a few OS that can boot from software raid partitions. And your own personal education level will have to go way up to get it working anyway.
This $100 hardware raid card is no worries. Disk crash? put new disk in, reboot, tell RAID in BIOS to add disk to array. Finished. BTW, you get an email when the disk is acting funny or when it drops from array. Also supports smart. Can't be beat.
What you described has come to be called FakeRAID. This is basically when there is some additional software in the BIOS, but that also requires a special Driver in the OS to handle it. Software raid is on the partition level. FakeRAID can be done on the disk level.
I was under the impression that unlicensed devices are not allowed to interfere with any other device even if that device is not RF based. You are not allowed to jam your neighbor, but certainly your neighbor is in violation of FCC regulations.
Interesting. How well has that worked out for the RIAA/MPAA?
Sounds like a plan authored by lawyers. Businesses are pretty excited about 'free' (as in beer) software. There are some pretty hefty companies that use it. If they try to snipe unassociated developers eventually they will irk some of these companies and get smacked down. Reminds me of SCO.
Legislation? Can't say I like that. I'm against so much of the governments elimination of 'frivolous' lawsuits already.
Im not familiar with what techniques the new EJB is using or KODO. However, I thought the new EJB was going towards JDO technique. The patent seems odd in that it is patenting a technique which would be best called a combination of Hibernate and JDO techniques. AFAIK Hibernate performs its mapping at runtime based on the schema you create. I assume Hibernate uses mediator objects of some sort? JDO modifies its objects at compile time and does not do any runtime modification. This system has a schema, creates an interface object at compile time, and them uses a runtime engine to do somethign else. Overkill.
Well if your all about yourself then you will go the "Bill" route. In that case it behooves you to get a nice antenna and connect up as many people as you can. Or just hide your antenna. Its not that hard to prevent external connections.
First off, HD only matters when the TV is LARGE. If your buying a 27-32" which is what most people buy, then HD does not make sense. Yet anyone buying a "big" screen TV will want HD. Its a joke to not have it because the visual quality is so superior is not even comparable.
LCD not falling? Well LCD quality has risen considerably and so fast that its bringing down the DLP prices. As for LCD having horrible picture quality compared to a tube? Not all LCD are created equal. My LCD monitors are better than my CRT monitors.
The issue with HDTV sales is the industry is trying to bilk the consumer. Its like an LCD monitor is just a replacement for a CRT. They don't try to advertise it as HD-LCD monitor and raise the price. TV industry is trying this though...
I have an HD-LCD projector, my sister has a HD DLP TV my cousin has 2 HDTVs. Hell everyone I can think of has an HD set except my mother! (None of them tube based)
In my world HD is doing just fine. try checking avsforum.com
USB drives do not autorun stuff. You can have stuff installed on your computer that autorecognizes something on your USB drive. But thats a program already running so to speak.
There are scenarios, but i wouldn't call them Trojans since they all involve secondary programs.
You bring up a very interesting point mentioning TCO. When both products' software is free (Since Windows is free to Microsoft) which one do you choose?
Thats probably why they dont give you the OS disks anymore. Just some reimaging junk so if you have to reinstall you end up with the same mess you had before.
I do work for a lot of friends, but when I see junk installed by these companies I recommend a full flush. I won't touch it if they don't flush it. And you know so much of the junk on these computers is there in the name of safety and security. anti virus, anti spam, crash notifiers and remote assist and report tools. More trouble than its worth.
RMI was out years ago when CORBA was first out. EJB is more recent by comparison.
Note in my post that RMI is platform to platform (through Java) whereas CORBA is language to language. These are different objectives. Thus, they are not 'direct' competitors with each other.
If you don't need language to language object exchange, why would you use CORBA? You'd be putting in a lot of work to get a primary feature that you had no intention of using.
EJB does not compete directly with CORBA. Its a more MS style approach. J2EE tries to offer a complete system such that you dont need to use any other technologies/languages and thus there is no need for interoperability and no need for CORBA. It does not replace CORBA, it replaces your whole system.
This is a shift in Sun's approach from years ago when CORBA was first here. Then Sun wanted Java interoperability, today I'm not sure they care.
Since the primary benefit of CORBA is that it can function between languages. It can connect objects in C++ to objects in Java and C and other languages. Why would Sun want to support that now? I think they feel Java is doing well and does not need to attach to Windows to be successful. Besides you can probably use RMI with JNI these days, which is a more Java centric approach.
If I were Sun I wouldn't be so excited to put energy into supporting CORBA that I could put on some fancy new Java bloat.

RAID manufacturers are certainly aware of this. Much of their new product is backwards compatible. Is this really an issue?

Indeed. Imagine what it looks like on a 96" HD Projector!
Cant view the world through your own eyes. Err...
If you took a look at the Home Theater crowd, the ones already using the full features of current DVDs, you would see tremendous anticipation.
HD puts SD to complete and total shame. Its bad when your DVD is the worst looking thing you can show on your TV.
Of course Home Theater crowd is also a bit miffed at this stupid format war.
I havent seen too many frivilous suits alleging prior art. Seem to be a lot alleging patent infringement though.
Heh, try saying that in England.
To the point, children may be stronger for this, but its increasingly a problem for adults having petri dishes running around.

Your still young. It takes a few years to appreciate the difference between a quality hole and a not so quality hole...

Yea I read that again and was a bit confused. It would have been simpler to say, "normally an unclear license is somewhat acceptable."
