Hmm, you do have a point, i just did a bit of research and it turns out that most of middle-higher end TV's have that feature, the economy models dont have it yet (i guess 7$ per chip is a bit too much for them:)
The chances are that if you bought your TV after 1998 it will come with a V-Chip, which allows you to set a password on all the "restricted" channels, unless of course it is on digital cable, in which case the box will probably come with some sort of lockout as well.
I found ths in the previous article and I just couldn't go on without posting this...too darn funny:
....Upon reaching orbit mission commander Sergei Zalyotin, flight engineer Yuri Lonchakov and European Space Agency astronaut Frank DeWinne were thrown forward into their seat straps as their spacecraft separated from its booster.
A toy mouse connected to the end of a string could be seen suddenly floating as Russia's traditional cockpit "gravity sensor" again worked well.
With Zalyotin at the controls, the Soyuz-TMA spacecraft -- the capsule and rocket share a similar name.....
So why not just use HAMTARO?...those crazy Russians.
then accountants with key cards could not be rats, just simply bean-counters, (another demographic group to toy with MWAHAHAHA! )
What's your (l)username?...ok...**clickety click** Why thank you for increasing our IT budget by 1 billion$...now i'm afraid you'll have to go. Do me a favor and check if the pover is on, just stick a piece of metal in the mains... You won't feel a thing:)
So...why don't we use firewire? Isn't it faster than SATA? And the upcomming Firewire IEE 1394b should double the firewire speed to ~800mb/s. And let's not forget the fact that there are firewire HDD-s and other perhipeals on the market (though they are generaly external) or maybe, could this have anything to do with INTEL's desire to controll all components? I don't see the price as a limiting factor either.
The computers will work jointly on a molecular chemistry research question that would take a single computer as long as six years to complete. Jonathan Schaeffer and Paul Lu, professors in the U of A's department of computer science, expect their virtual supercomputer will do the work in one -- one day, that is.
He still can sneak up on someone! Like in that 007 movie, when Q uses a robot to sneak up on James bond while he is screwing the latest "bond chick" anyway now all the pervs will see this page and soon well have whole streets full of those cars. Oh the humanity!
Why can't they bundle a distributed computing program with SETI? So 50% (or whatever they agree upon) will go to SETI, and the rest can be leased out to any company willing to pay for some number crunching, I mean Kazaa is already doing it, without our permission of course. And besides I've grown accustomed to their funky "screen saver", it would be a great shame to loose it... Besides, the clock speeds seem to be going higher and higher these days, and I don't think SETI will notice a significant drop anyways...
For all yer modchip needs, there is still the good o'l www.easybuy2000.com/ or my name ain't Fair Deal Fred =) ./me runs away as M$ lawers descend on easybuy
It has USB 2 and FireWire (finally), and supports WMA and MP3
Unbelieveable, it took them almost a full year to implement the firewire spec! I mean i have had SB Audigy in my PC for almost a year, and every time it booted up it gave me a little applet that kept on telling me how well it'll go with nomad... Thought i must admit, Creative did learn from it's previous mistakes, and they have improved nomad quite signficantly. The product no longer looks like an overgrown portabe CD player from 90's without the slot.
The court found that T3 offered neither proof that Mr McNicol had contacted SPEWS nor that doing so was illegal
So in theory nobody exactly won...for had the T3 posted and/or obtained the information that linked Mr McNicol to the blacklisting, the outcome may have been different. Though they have raised an interesting question as well, personally I'm interested why did T3 say that contacting spews would be illegal?
US has suddenly changed it's view concering Taiwan, and after more than 50 years of protecting it, US has suddelny allowed PRC (China) To overtake it's long claimed (and lost)territory. Taiwan's pro independence president was never heard from again...
No, really this could happen, i lived in Taiwan for 5 years and it got really scarry when PRC did those missle tests... Though i doubt that US would let leading mobo manufacturers fall under China's rule:) Oh well there is always the Malaysia (where Athlon is currently made:)
True,
But the specs of these things call for only.5 watt usage pre hour, so charging it for about 10 minutes every day on one of those super efficient 3 layer leminated cells could prolong the life quite significantly...or at least untill 500 chargings upon which the battery performance will start to degrade.
They said the batteres would be LiIon and that the submersible would be comming to surface to communicate, so why not add a couple of solar panels? Im sure it won't bring up the costs significantly. (Heck NASA probably already has a bulk discount on solar panels:) Does the depth and salinity in water affect solar panels; is that why they are refraining from using them?
HA! I laugh at you...:)
I wouldn't be surprised it they break the encryption in an hour or 2..ok ok i'm starting to exaggerate, but if you really hate to move those CD's to and from your CD rom drive, why don't you get one of those virtual CD programs off the net? (Provided you have M$ or Apple OS and a whole lotta space on your HDD) but it'll save you the trouble that comes with constant change of CD's constantly changing CD's. Plus there are rumors that it makes your desk look better.
With the amount of propaganda that M$ is churning out, i wouldn't be surprised if they set-up an online auction site soon....with super-duper-extra-safe secrity....anyone remember what they used to say about consoles before they announced XBoX?
If you sell the balls on e-bay... Heck if the guy could get 4 pounds of Na off e-bay, what difference would 2 measley balls do...other than set a precedent to other "illicit" sellers
Has an auto-update feature that is by DEFAULT always on and it continiously patches through to M$ servers sending them all the dirt on you and then for legal reasons, requesting and downloading any new patches. Now, i dont think that the average Joe Blow will know how to turn that feature off, and judging by how M$ worded it, i dont think that he will want to turn it off. So as long as your computer has a connection to the net as do 88 milion US households and a countless number of US and worldwide corporations it will update itself. So lets face it, blow joe will get ticked off when his "glorified digital VCR" wouldn't allow him to transfer files, but when his computer tells him that it is updating itself "for it's own good"...you get the picture... Our only hope is to convert everyone to Mac or Unix users =P

A trade mark on Mr. Bean? :)

What DMCA? What censorship?
The real problem is [CENSORED]
Now move along nothing to see here!

So how is this different from DC or SETI?
Whatever happened to the good-ol' bulk eraser?
He still can sneak up on someone! Like in that 007 movie, when Q uses a robot to sneak up on James bond while he is screwing the latest "bond chick" anyway now all the pervs will see this page and soon well have whole streets full of those cars. Oh the humanity!
Didn't they sell their line (or give it over) to Fujitsu? And they will still make them untill the handover date (about 2.5 years from now)
This just got posted, and already it's /.'ed. Why cant desks and users just get along?

Does that mean that they will **finaly** stop sending me all those "new and improoved" CD's? Im gonna miss those coasters.
