Clearly you haven't seen Black Samauri. Any movie with ninja voodoo midgets (I am not joking) sporting 10 gallon hats and swinging from vines and an entire fight scene which is completely voiced over so that characters are only speaking when their mouths aren't facing the camera deserves your respect.
Sounds strange to me - so now you get shot at by your enemies and your friends who think you're the enemy. How is that safe?

as the site went dead within minutes of this story showing up on slashdot. I think the Slashdot folks should consult with people and package web serving or something since SLashdot never manages to slashdot itself.
I'm more concerned with the rules of evidence that we need in order to bring these losers to court. The judicial system needs to produce a more concrete set of guidelines for what the average joe needs to bring to a law enforcement official (and which law enforcement office) in order to get convictions!
It would have made sense to meet with Real and work with them to make Raphshody use FairPlay. Jobs you've said it youself so many time - you make your money off hardware. You WANT people developing software to support the hardware. Why you don't get this defies bellief and reason. iTMS is a very low margin affair to the extent that having Real as a competitor wouldn't really matter. Hell you're in such a good negotiating position that you could have tailored the deal to your own liking.
Now you come out of this looking like an asshole, you leave WMA as a viable competitor (your real nemisis) - and a partner who could have done a lot of the heavy lifting in places where you aren't (many companies have deals with REAL that you do not) is left to go to Microsoft and similar. This was not a smart move and the attitude is so arrogant that I have a bad taste in my mouth from it.
"I have a new computer with one of those new Paper-ROMS and it seems to be acting up"
'What do you mean?'
"I went to staples and picked up some computer paper and cut it into a disk shape and put it in and now there is a burning smell coming from the drive"
You're missing the best part - there should be abused and starved animals dropped into the area with cameras strapped to their heads - now THAT'S reality TV:)
America calls DOJ ruling unfortunate as well. Just becaue Microsoft got away with a slap on the wrist here doesn't mean that they should in other countries who apparently have clearly more stringent rules governing monopolists.
McNealy is the Eisner of the IT industry. He's spinning on the semantics of what people are saying and not getting why they want what they want and accordingly he's risking everything that he has.
This should be fixed. I was having the same problems and was fortunately in the beta. Many bugs were files about these issues and those of USB devices being unavailable after waking from sleep. Last time I checked, it was all working fine.
There is a common misconception that patents == inventions which simply isn't the case. You patent a method for doing something AND that something doesn't even have to be truly useful to anyone (hard to prove utility) or work.
As such it doesn't really surprise me. Heck there are multiple patents for ketchup dispensers:)
Through a variety of license you CAN get to the source code of Java and you CAN build an open implementation of it. You can get access to the JVM source as well. So really the question need to be more specific. What exactly do we want Sun to give access to, how do we want the license to change, and how can we make all of this happen while not breaking the 'one Java' standard and having little Java forks all over the place.
Exactly. I'm on the verge of ditching Bellsouth for comcast cable modem because the bandwidth is still so much higher over cable modem. The cost is roughly the same because I'm ditching crappy cable and going back to satellite for TV. The video quality of cable is just too poor
When people have access to the source they can more readily find exploitable mechanisms in your code. This is a GOOD thing because you want to know that your system is exploitable, how it is exploitable, and (which is the case in many open projects) how to prevent that exploit.
Any form of content (not just scripts and ActiveX controls) can be used to exploit a weakness in a system. A security strategy that involves simply filtering content is a weak one.
The open source community can be a powerful friend to any organization willing to take the chance on their code being available to others.
What better way to make people want to move to Longhorn in droves than to make the cost of staying with the currently deployed operating system seem prohibitively expensive in comparrison.
Or since its supposed to be a next generation Mozilla, just call it Mozilla Next:) Since its all Mozilla anyways, they need to stick to the Mozilla brand.
Currently the rules of evidence that work with radar deal with the scarcity of other radar signals and reflections. If we start putting radars on a large number of vehicles thereby reducing scarcity, how will this effect the rules of evidence that allows radar speed detection to be used?
I work on Java projects for a living. I have a 1.25Ghz 15" G4 Powerbook an 800Mhz Dell piece of crap laptop, a 1Ghz P3 and an Athlon 2200.
For compiles, the x86 processors are just always faster. For runtime performance the x86 processors are just always faster (except the Dell laptop). For general use and stability, the Powerbook is just always better. I don't have to worry about IT coming to check my machine for virii. Most of my unix tools work without a hitch without having to launch an internal OS as I do on windows, Apple listens to and responds to bug reports, and my Powerbook is still better at living in a mixed OS environment than my XP boxen.
If price is a concern - x86 is still the way to go, even if the G5 is under consideration. If being able to coexist happily with much of the Linux, Unix, open source world is more of concern - I've found that OSX is the ideal platform. All of the pleasure of dealing with Unix with none of the pain of HAVING to deal with the lacking areas of Linux:)
The large number of people who purchased them at launch, and the poor software tie ratio (the number of software titles sold per console) for nearly the 1st year and a half of the PS2s life?

Sure - but wouldn't the routers along the way all have to support multicast? Otherwise the multicast packets go into the ether.
Dont confuse trolls with facts... it makes Baby CowboyNeal cry.

Yeah. Someone dies - lets see what extra major character did they drag with them :)
More than likely - looks like someones dot com money is running out.
No system is 100% secure be it Windows or Linux.

If 'everyone' liked a show - it wouldn't get killed. it would actually be making loads of money and networks have this thing for getting paid.
Now if everyone who liked the show would go out and buy the DVDs, maybe it would be resurrected ala Family Guy.
And they are pretenting to be Tribes :)
