Could be useful for Biologists. I heard that its possible to tell a lot about an animal from the shape of its turd. The question is, what does that mean about Bill Gates? Shurley those window shaped ones arent healthy...
The problems are many:
1) How do you tell what's "Home network"?
2) Does my workplace count as part of my "Home network"? What about the lounge TV in a dorm?
3) Why does the redistribution have to be at lower resolution? I happen to be home to tape a show, my friend Bob isnt. He wants to borrow my copy. He, however, has to watch it in crappy-o-vision, despite the fact that the SAME FREAKING SIGNAL was beamed through his house.
4) Who decides what "Crappy-o-vision " is? It could well be unplayable.
and these are just a few of the fair use issues.
Its perfectly legal for them to beam these signals through our heads, on our property, but its not legal to decode the broadcasts that were in the clear without locking them down.
God bless America.
Think about it: NRA and other gun sites are about how to find weapons and use them. Anti Gun sites arent, in fact they discourage their use. what theyre trying to block is not the advocacy of gun rights, its the advocacy of GUNS THEMSELVES.
They seem to have added a hasty requirement for a password (and its been configured! admin/admin isnt getting in). Anyone cracked an account or have a mirror of the binary?
Ahh, but you do: The CD-Key. It is now no-longer illegal to have this nifty text file that describes the checksum for WIN95 CD-keys and how to create one.
While it is getting much nicer about its popups, that was never the problem with Gator. It has a tendency to use your CPU for their data anaysis on the information they collect on your browsing habits. It also has been known to make microcharges to your credit card ($.35-$2, but it is still annoying). I love E-Commerce, but I refuse to shop online on any computer with Gator because of this.
Why stop at flashing names for a second? If we can get these advanced enough, they may well be able to serve as a monitor for a PDA, Gameboy, or wearable PC. I'd love to surf the web with my sunglasses while sitting in class.
Apple has been making computers smaller than the normal ATX standards forever. We have a set of ATX compatible but extremley small IBM computers at my school. Why is it news that you can make them smaller?
Species are defined as being unable to cross breed a viable offspring. There is only one species of dog, but many subspecies, which gets many people confused. Collie and German shepard are subspecies, Dog (canis familiaris) is the species.
Slashdot editors have been voted weasiliest journalists for posting the exact e-mails they got, line for line, and forgetting that everyone here is already a member of the DNRC and got the results in their E-Mail.
iTunes may use 40 megs of ram on your machine, but thats probably XP. It has a tendency to create virtual windows enviroments for individual programs. I had some experience with xp's odd mem usage, a company where I worked used NT 4.0 as the desktop. Microsoft wanted them to upgrade to XP, so they set up a desktop with NT4, 2K, and XP to benchmark them. 2k ran slightly better than NT4, but xp would hang for 3 seconds about once a minute. Turns out, xp suddenly allocated 500 MB of ram to the custom stock trading program, slowing the whole system to a halt. Needless to say, we didnt end up upgrading.
The xbox is *NOT* a console. It is a off the shelf computer with a special bios and a dumbed down version of win2k. Its been proven many times. Microsofts official specs say so.
Diamonds aren't forever. I saw a REALLY funny movie in a chemistry lab where they disolved a diamond. And the background music? A paticular James Bond theme.
Much as I cannot stand IE, this is just insane. Plug-ins were a nessecary step forward, and should not have been granted a patent. AND, they havent tried to enforce this for the years that IE has had plugins before. Isnt there a loss of patent if unused or unenforced?

Clear space broadcast gets picked up by encoder. encoder sees flag and adds DRM. Thats locking down previously clear communications.
Next up for microsoft's bountys: A VERY evil man who has cost them so much more than just downtime:
LINUS!

Danm, if the revolution is already happening, it kinda kills my theory that Microsoft is secretly a subsidary of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation

I never said it did distributed computing. I said it analyzed your data with your CPU cycles before sending it off to HQ.

I see 80 on my Azureus. Its running pretty well, but I've lost the tracker twice.
Good Idea, making the download a .torrent instead of the full file, but the slashdot effect still takes its toll on another poor, helpless server.

Dude, the govenment has jailed US citizens for years in the past. Its not paranoia, its saftey.
Aol doesnt let MSN messenger operate on computers it's installed on. It blocks the proccess from going out to the internet.

I think thats Douglass adams that you're refering to. Scott is still alive and sarcastic.

So why exacltly do we want to make people LESS afraid to use Microsoft products?
