Odd phrasing aside, this research has been going on for a while. They have isolated one protein that has proven to be a very powerful antibiotic. My guess is they may have found or are trying to isolate another that functions as an anti-viral.
Oddly enough, the research started when someone decided to look into why crocodiles, who get injured all the time in fights and live in muck, never seemed to get infections from their injuries.
Maybe, but the big mistake here is that they officially announced it. What they should have done is stay quiet about it until the HD version was ready for release.
Console gamers don't give a crap about it. They want to play the games on what they think is the best console of the time. Game developers can either accept it or not publish for that platform. For them, the money is more than worth the loss of control.
Did someone expect that 2000 would somehow perform different now than it did 5 years ago on what was 3 year old hardware then? Yes, I realize the real point was that it can run on old hardware AND compete with XP, but the article title is just moronic.
Actually, if you look at their site, most of their design work is industrial design for other companies for real products. This very well could be the case for this keyboard.
Yea, I thought that too. I had plenty of time to re-evaluate my thinking while dropping my fuel tank to replace a burned out in-tank fuel pump. Then I RTFM and found a warning about letting the fuel run out and damage to the fuel pump.
Actually, a modern car has to suck fuel out of the tank (fuel pump) and ram that fuel through nozzels at a high rate of speed (fuel injectors) also. Like the space shuttle, if you run dry, you can damage the system (fuel pump in the case of a car).
Of course, like everything else, the result can be much, MUCH more catastrophic on space shuttle than your car.
The price war is only an issue if Apple decides to play along. There would be nothing motivating them to do so if they sold OSX through Dell. Sales to Dell or other integrators would just be cake. It would cost Apple very little, since I'm sure they would push user support off onto the integrator. On the other hand, they get more people using OSX, which would drive software makers to make more software for it. Businesses could choose OSX and still keep their contracts with Dell for their desktops. Worse case it doesn't sell and Apple's sales and market share stay on the same path they are today.
Most large companies I work with wait for their next hardware refresh cycle to change OS. It's just easier than trying to in-place upgrade hundreds or thousands of machines. Since most companies are on 3 to 5 year cycles, it's no surprise that XP adoption is lagging behind. I'm sure ANY client OS is going to face this "problem" in a corporate environment.
This is why they have such a small marketshare. They could gobble up a nice chunk of microsoft's desktop market (and probably the server market) if they ditched the hardware.

I think their exact words where "Go f*ck yourselves, we are the only ones who can regulate radio traffic."
...or something like that.
So why scrap the MMU?
so... Tetherless... capability...
Even if it isn't "regularly" used for it, seems we still retain the capability.
so there is no tetherless spacewalk capability anymore.

Then what the hell is this?

What are you thinking, of course it is! Otherwise, slashdotters wouldn't be able to complain about it being over-hyped and incomplete.

If you build it, a developer will find a way to fill it up.
Don't worry, I'm sure the vendors will still sell you a "System Management" license to actually turn the functionality on!
Your grasp on mathematics sure seems to indicate where you fall.
To add to that list:
- diagonal relationships
- "knights move" relationships

They already stated in an interview they expect the cost to be no less than $200-300US

Wasn't there an article not long ago that they where working on something like this?
Did it hurt when you pulled that out of your ass?
Those are handset rates.
I mean, it's a satellite pager! Isn't the idea that it works anywhere? A Google search for satellite pagers turns up plenty.
You must be the worst system builder ever, or you charge by the hour.
