This sounds like the dreamcast's VMU more than sony's. That was the best way to get your VMU stolen... have a game on it and play it in class (You can't take it! It contains roughly 64 hours of my life!) Now a phone? I'm gonna guess that the sony phone plan won't be as kind as others. What happens if you get a phone call while running the vmu mini-prog? Does Snake curse out your caller?
Is it me or is the most surprising thing about the article is that 20 states were so quick to bring legislation regarding the segway. That's about the quickest I've seen the legal system incorporate technology.
If somebody took out my soruce of income I'd be pissed... However... it's kind of a moral empass. Spyware isn't moral, but neither is sabotaging somebody else's code. If it was taken to court I would believe that the Manufacturer would win... EVEN if it is a filesharing ap. However, it won't go to court due to the deception and other revelations that will come to court.
For on of the few times, the consumer's win. They get it all.
I've rarely (if ever) seen a video game that had a message. A real message besides "Get the power up and win the game". Y'know some message like "Rexamine your life, help the homeless" or something. There's a difference between writing thousands of lines of code and writing a poem. The code is less self-expressing. You can't say "That if statement, I feel, makes a comment on the human condition" when it only makes the human condition if(evilguy.Hp=0 Then evilguy == dead.
I definitely could've used it for my bout of tendonitis, but when will we get the hands free keyboard? NOT voice recognition, a hands-free keyboard, with cameras and all that good stuff.

Has anyone ever thought that nanotechnology can be used for a whollllle lot of evil. I mean, in theory, it could used as Syphon Filter or Fox-Die (anyone else notice those games had the same plot?). A programmable virus, effectively destroying whatever they want. The UN has mentioned that idealy 80% of the world's population would be killed.. This could be a means to do that.
Users respond very negatively to screwing with things. I doubt even in the quasi-legal MS audits that they will seek out GPL software and fine you. How can they legally hold you accountable for having other software?
God, that's more monopolly garbage. Somebody needs to ask BG on the stand about this. If the prosecutors knew about this, it'd be a crushign blow.
Step One: Download the player
Step two: Run player, see if the company isn't bs'ing
Step Three: if adaware == missing Then change facial.expresson to 'Shocked'
Step Four: Download a new version of AdAware that can disable the player's abilities.
Step Five: Laugh. You have beaten the system, my friend! Today is a good day!
You can't tell me that somebody working at MacAfee or Norton hasn't toyed around with the idea of creating some bad ass virus and unleashing it. Isn't it a little bit odd how quickly they have a fix to it?
With the media the way it is reacting over these viruses, it won't be belong before upstarts will come along, deciminate a virus, then hold a great number of computer users hostage for the price of their software. There was so much publicity in the tracking down of the people who wrote the Melissa virus and the arrest of them, but has there been such a publicized search for NIMBDA? Red Alert? Perhaps the companies are covering their tracks all too well.
Yes, a lot of people got a lot of play out of them, but more and more developers are finding that they aren't that great. Dave Winer has found that they were great... for about a week and then just tinkered with other things. Yes, we do care about search, but we all no the url google.com. How can the APIs help out that much?
I love the Star Wars movies with a great passion, but Lucas is, basically, a consumer whore. How many revisions of Luke in Hoth gear are there? How many Nein Numb and Momaw Nadon action figures are there? If you get.02 seconds of screen time you get 5 action figures, a T-shirt and a mug. There's even a Darth Vader Beer Stein for cryin' out loud!
I'll believe it when I see it... But right now, I'm believe that Toy stores everywhere are getting container shipments full of insignifigant characters.
Yes, they track things less than 1 CM, but if I went up, I'd be hoping they knew where it all ways- space debris travels at hundreds of miles an hour and could cous a tremendous amount of damage to any space craft it hits.
"Would it bother you if somebody could just take that paper and get an A too? Would that bug you?' So this sense of personal investment does ring true with people."
He must not be familiar with those "services" that allow people (for a nominal fee of course) to go and dl other people's papers and turn them in.
But record-label representatives say that home taping was never as prevalent as CD burning
Um... Sure. Try to find somebody who never taped something off of the radio or other medium. Most CD players came with a tape deck so you could tape off the CD to a tape to give it away or play it in your car or something.

This article was written by John Katz. Just one big tangent and "What if"s. Wow. What news.
Sounds kinda.. eh.

Yeah... but you still have to use your fingers. I wanna poke my nose out when I type "Fagot = Yuo!"
And what about the workforce. Oh, wait a minute. Seeing as virtually everything will be made by nanomachines, that removes any form of slavery....
So, everybody will be out of a job and our economy will collapse. Sounds great!
Who said anythign about the Pentagon? I'm talking about global government.
Here's your link
I saw it on the infowars program here.

I want nanobots in my bloodstream that automatically repair wounds
You mean Platelets?
Id the CDBTPA passes, service to TiVo will stop.. ESPECIALLY because of it's USB hookup.
(And, really, you can't say you've defeated it when it hasn't come to a vote... You may be surprised.)

Linux buisness? Business of something free? Wow. I'm starting a sunlight buisness.
So we have to pay money for this video... at university libraries? Something doesn't add up.
Notice the use of the phrase 'Used to'

This is a field? Where can I get more info on this? I may have just found my calling. Thank you /.!
