The gui is just for reporting/adjusting/fine-tuning things like control-surface sensitivity, if they can make it pleasent to look at while it being functional, why not?
If someone's willing to fork over over $1k for it (im just basing this on what the last model of a similar controller costed, i used to be into RC) they wouldn't be looking at the pretty GUI too much and controlling their aircraft which is probably an even bigger investment
If that music store is planning to service more than 3 customers, that won't be a reality. Decently encoded music, takes quite a bit of CPU power and quite a bit of time.
Considering the obvious insecurity of wireless, how will they keep the illegal downloading down? Almost anyone who knows what they're doing can easily spoof a MAC address and download questionable content and get away with it.
What I'm thinking is, how will some health groups react? Adverse affects on health by wireless, especially in such large roll-out, are still not entirely proven harmless. No, I am not worried about health effects before all the flames come in, but there are some people/groups that tend to pay attention to this.
where do people get off on not reading posts? I addressed why Java doesn't get a lot of beginners to go into it, and im sorry if most beginners don't fiddle with custom business software, and please don't assume about what others have experience in since I did not mention anything about my past history in coding.
Also, if you are a good and careful C/C++ coder those 'obscure' bugs will be at a minimal level.
Those that claim that java isn't slow obviously don't actually use software written in it. Sure you can make all the benchmarks you want, but when it comes down to it, it does feel much slower.
Firstly, most applications written in java run awfully slow which sends a lot of people to other languages. Secondly, virtual machines running byte code creates an extra step in compiling/rolling out programs which can stray away a lot of beginners. In general, not a lot of production software is written in Java, and a lot of people get into programming because they want to emulate something that already exists and make it better. C/C++ are languages of choice of the industry so they tend to go into them.
Also, i remember someone saying, saying java is good because it works on more platforms is like saying anal sex is good because it works on both sexes:-P
This person i knew at one point, there was a fire at his house, and his iBook was the only victim. It metlted down most of the body and the lappy looks all soggy-plastic now, but hell, it still works really well from what i saw. Only cosmetic damage.

when we sqaure c, we aren't getting another speed, we are just getting a number that is fastest speed ever, multiplied by itself.
argh reading "FreeBSD distro" sounded so, so wrong to me.
The engineers at ASUS completely missed the idea behind a faraday cage!
newegg is always my first choice for anything I buy. If newegg is out of stock on something, mwave is the second place I go.

Don't get too excited, the 500 error msg was being returned even before the article went public. (I geta

Why would i be moderated as 'troll' for that comment? I honestly tried to address an issue with the system. Oh well.

i wish i had mod points so i can add "Funny" to that
.. is like cruise control for cool!
Excelent article! Will read again! A++++++++++++++++++++++
Just another story that re-assures me completely switching to FreeBSD was the right choice.

I was also thinking how they had the hdd set up. Im sure its the same-ol disk platter drive, they just have it incased in some sexy way.
the ONLY reason why i use win xp has come to linux. F*CK WINDOWS.
