MS reveals that Office is paying the rent while they lose money on Xbox... Sony thinks about the fees they're paying MS every year, as long as MS Office is part of their computer package..."...choto.... Tanaka-san...look at these numbers....why are we helping MS to keep the Xbox afloat?"
Sony has been subsidizing the Xbox, and now they have a way to halt that practice:)

Remember...investing in or doing business with MS is risking having your own money used against you in the marketplace.
>RFC 2734...no info, sorry. They're pretty tight lipped, at least in my case. They have shown a tendency to release broader coverage apps, and this in turn helps them market their hardware, so.... I suspect there is a lot going on the background right now, with 800mbps Firewire being RSN, and networked free standing storage being the next big thang:)
I've been testing the FireWire networking software solution from UniBrain. Unibrain's solution, by the way, provides for more than just I.P....it supports other protocols as well. I'm looking forward to having Firewire networking built into OS X. More choices are good. I'm wondering if this indicates a move towards next generation 800mbps Firewire, by Apple, as well.
On my Mac, Firewire networking software provides two more ports similar to built-in ethernet, and treats them the same in the network panel in OS X. They show up as two additional ethernet adapters. What I'm really looking for is the same capability under Linux, so I can connect two computers using firewire networking...OS X and Mandrake Linux 9.0. So far, only custom Linux kernals built for clustering offer this ability. [ http://kenlinux.no-ip.org/gallery/vie w_photo.php?s et_albumName=Stuff- 01&id=net01 ]
Theoretically, I can dual mode the two firewire channels in my computers to run at 800Mbps (channel bonding). Of course, gigabit ethernet would provide increased speed, but it would also involve buying more hardware, at least in my case. Like we say "...run what ya 'brung..." If your hardware provides gigabit ethernet, use it:)
Distance between nodes is a problem for Firewire networking. Maximum distance is about 15 feet without repeaters, etc. At this time, Firewire hubs cost approx. the same as ethernet hubs. Note I don't think that all Firewire hubs offer similar capability/compatibility. Test before you buy.
Don't forget Apple's Firewire target disc mode if you simply want to pass files between two computers in a hurry.

Also note that firewire networking is currently a part of Windows XP. OS X is playing ketchup.
Like many things out of Japan, modular housing was designed for overseas markets, not so much for the domestic market. Once they prove and stabilize the concept, they market it to other countries. Similar to the 'building-builder' robot construction device that debuted in Yokohama ten years ago. It was originally targeted for China, where they need new high-rises in a hurry, etc.
I get mod'd down as having an 'overrated' opinion?:)
That must mean my opinion's are routinely of such high value that they now function as a commodity.
Wow..I'm flattered!
That's rich..... I must have really hit a socio-political nerve to be dragged out into the street and beaten over being so bold as to state my opinion when asked. I'd hate to see what kind of mod I'd incur if I really sounded off...this place never ceases to provide unadulterated humor:) Keep it coming...I can take it.
...and his ability to foresee the future, and tell us about it so that our imaginations flowed with his.
And throw in some Asimov for his clarity in things machine.
Unrelated? So those boxes that contain computers...it's ok to have them manufactured in countries where child labor is used?
Many, many manufacturers source where this and other issues are evaluated daily. If you think technology has nothing to do with 'issues', think again.
Mass. went this alone in the beginning, and they've been prepared to see it thru alone all along. Againgoing it alone is something Mass. has been prepared to do since the beginning.

The difference, in this case is, that sound will relate a linear interpretation, end-to-end, where software will simply return a snap shot of any given element.
And if you did want to download something large, a mild processor would then become your issue. Not just for the download, but to handle all the other things going on at the same time. Unpacking the last file...running that network backup...rotating that image in PhotoShop...burning your latest DVD.
I just moved from ADSL to VDSL, and now my processor is the bottleneck. It's like some many other things, were the cycle moves the slowdown from one component in need of an upgrade to another. Fix one, and the next in line is now a liability, where it wasn't before. Get a legitimately big jump in your internet connectivity and see what happens to your system needs.
The British Govt. needs to mandate services that will drive and attract interaction.
Like voting...and discounted shopping...and reservations...and driver's lisences...and birth record updates...and sex offender record publicity...online gaming...etc.
When day-to-day commerce makes a serious move to the net, so will the public.
As it is, the net is more like a toy to the average Brit, and thus no need to drive fast...no where to go?
The PERL needs AppleScript to talk to iTunes. It doesn't do it on it's own...been there and doing the same thing with PHP:)
Check my gallery site that lets visitors also spy on my currently playing song, etc. I use PHP and MySQL to manage a Mac and Linux (2 box combo) image database. Just for fun, PHP, along w/AppleScript, pulls data from iTunes, while it supports image serving, uploading, resizing, etc. Ho Ho Ho
That's a good question. But the media reports the news, they don't make it:)
I just can't see this happening, with Gates being painted as an innocent victim of the press (and the press saying the public gets what the public wants). He posed for photos, and attended public galas and discussed MS business. He didn't sneak in and try to leave a personal blank check...this goes back to my contention that these things are normally quiet affairs, and this one was far from quiet. India one week and Comdex the next. I'd love to feel different, and I'm inclined to let you sway me, but how else can this be characterized? Help me out.
How can anyone not link Bill Gates with MS? If he valued his phylanthropy and what it will mean to his reputation generations from now, he'd work harder to distance his charity from photo ops and software deals. I didn't link him...he manages to fuse the impression all on his own.
And yes, for the record, I applaud the Foundation. But again, I'm not the one taking advantage of what it may currently represent when there is an opportunity to line the corporate coffers. The impression is less than favorable.

StarOffice calls them sheets...not tabs. Try the checkbox option in the printer dialog:
->Print
--->Options
------>Print only selected sheets
I use the shift key to select multiple sheets.
Sony isn't stupid.

MS handed over $16 million to Apple as a patent settlement. Think courtroom, not boardroom. It was _not_ an investment. Try again.
Blasted MS dolt-troll's can't help drinking the koolaid.
