I'm using a 3COM WAP with my ADSL router and Belkin USB WiFi adpators on my PCs. My DECT phone didn't affect the quality of my WiFi, but the WiFi seriously interfered with the phone. I was getting clicking noises and occasionally one direction of the call would but out completely. I moved back to phones that plug into the wall.
Before being allowed to purchase a CD you will have to have your house RIAA DRM certified. RIAA operatives will removed from your house any equipment that could possibly be used to infringe upon their artists copyrights. Illegal items include, CD duplicators, PCs, Tape recorders, Video Recorders, wax disks, loudspeakers (you NOT your neighbours have bought the right to enjoy our music). Music shall be listened to through a single (approved) mono-earpiece (some listeners with stereo ear-pieces have abused the priviliedge and let others 'sample' the music using the spare ear bud). After your music purchase an RIAA representative (probably a student trying to pay off $97 trillion) will sit with you at all times to ensure your compliance with our terms and conditions.

to clean up by offering 100:1 odds on this handheld not being in the consumers hands by 2004. They're currently looking around the market to see the competition and the only thing ahead of them is the GBA - so they've launched a spoiler Press Release. I seem to remember for the entire life of the Dreamcast the PS2 was promised to be 'just around the corner' everybody held off buying the DC and this was probably the single greatest factor in it's demise (and it's controllers).
Spam exists purely because the time spent by the spammer is of less value than the reward he gets. We don't need to completely eradicate spammers, just slow then down until it's no longer worth the effort and they quit. Try mposing limits on the amount of email that can be sent per ISP user. If it's set high emough then it'll very rarely bother a legitimate user, but make it stop it being cost effective for spamming. Say 500 emails per 7 days from one user on an SMTP or 1000 from a mailserver running on an ADSL. If you're having to send 1 million mails then signing up for/hijacking 2000 accounts is going to slow you down a bit. This would hopefully stop spamming from 'friendly' services. Rogue ISPs are trickier to deal with, perhaps the throttling could be used? e.g. AOL trusts MSN, therefore anything originating from MSN would be allowed straight through. AOL is slightly more warey of rogueisp.cn so throttles the acceptance of messages from them to say 50,000 a day before it starts bouncing them. If rogueisp.cn behaves then everything will work perfectly, if they allow their network to hammer AOL then AOL will start chucking the emails back at rogueisp.cn clogging up their system. A perceived problem with this is that legitimate email gets bounced - tough. Rogueisp.cn gets to explain to their customers why "AOL has returned this message because of flood of crap sanctioned by your ISP" is attached to the message that's just been returned unsent. RogueISP can now decide to enforce sendmail throttling as mentioned at the top, or lose its customers.
Tweak the quotas so the better an ISP behaves, the higher it's quota goes and vica-versa and we can polarise connected ISPs, and it's then not to hard just to blanket ban the bad guys.
but I suspect it's due to licensing arrangements. Often the same artist is represented by different labels in different territories - he might have been signed in the UK by a small Indie, but needs big-muscle distribution to break the states etc. Big distributer sells in the US, indie still sells in UK. This causes problems online though as customers and territories are now now no longer tied together - you could buy from whichever territory offered the cheapest identical product. One big free market.....nope, couldn't have that, could we? so that's why you need a US Visa.
I'm sticking with my current civilisation, we get the orgies and general debaucherous behaviour to look forward to before I start stockpiling the tin cans.
The problem I believe is as our civilisation and society grow as a whole, each individuals sphere of knowledge and influence shrinks. We're knowing more and more about less and less and having to rely on communication and interaction to maintain the overall expansion of knowledge. I think we've now reached a state where as individuals the majority of us would be incapable of functioning/surviving alone. I rely on other people to provide me with food and shelter - but then my providers rely on my area of knowledge, IT - my supermarket relies on logistics. Even within my own field I'd be screwed by myself. I vaguely know how my PC works - couldn't build one myself though. Not even the keyboard. Not even the plastic it's made from. Or the ink of the keys. Or the copper in the wires
My basic point is that the Roman empire collapsed due to over expansion in a purely geographical sense leading to communication breakdown. Western civilisation won't fall due to the geographical problem - but maybe there's a critical mass where the sheer complexity of interaction needed for day to day function will be so large it becomes unstable (or too easily destabilised).
It does have bluetooth and voice activation - so no reason you couldn't use a bluetooth headset with it. The problem with that is if you're going to have to carry round the headset you might as well just carry any one of the many small phones already out.
Bought myself a S900 a while back, after doing some serious research. Has fantastic print quality, well built, looks good and as mentioned previously it uses single colour carts I can pick up for about £3 ($5) a pop. The printer wasn't cheap but worth the money.
The design engineer has already been fired. The new one is busily designing fiendishly clever ways of making you run an ink cycle ever time you turn your printer on and wondering what how much ink he can empty out of your cartridge ever time you do so.
I already get to hack my PC, Tivo, Mobile Phone, Games Consoles and now I get the opportunity to tinker with my Printer. *Rushes off to bag himself the www.printer-modchips.com domain*
Another plus point in it's favour is that it's very easy/cheap to get hold on - it's what liquid fueled cigarette lighters run on. If you're feeling sneaky you can use it to make envelopes 'invisible' before it evaporates leaving no trace.
It's a Gatling gun like so far as it's got multiple barrels and spins round. A vulcan is electrically operated, hydraulically driven and is usually found strapped to an expensive, flying, military hardware. Gatling guns are those little things with the handles on the back made by Mr Gatling.
Extra revenue from people buying PS2 for firewire port Consider the original Playstation. First the phono outputs on the back of it went, then the expansion port making each successive model cheaper to produce. If anybody ever chipped then they'll know how much simpler it got inside. Started off as multilayer board, then single double sided, then single sided, then the whole thing was shrunk even further for the PSOne.
I can't speak for everybody - but when I chipped my Xbox I dropped in a big 120 Gig drive. I toyed with the idea of buying a DVD writer, but it seemed way too much trouble and expense. Much easier just to store everything on the Xbox Hard Disk and have your own Gaming jukebox.
especially in Japan where it is looked down upon. Improving the drive read ability isn't really going to increase piracy anyway, your console would still need to be chipped - and the sort of person who chips his PS2 is the sort of person who's going to have been fiddling with resistors to get it working now anyway. Sony is probably responding to the person who's bought his lovely Vaio laptop, bought his lovely Sony DVD writer to record his holiday video shot on his Sony Video Camera and is very pissed off when his DVD doesn't work in his Sony Playstation2.
MMORG are mainly played by men. A significant number of whom can quite happily spend a significant amount of time playing, without anybody missing their social input into civilisation. (Oh and that attractive elfish maiden you've been chasing after IS probably a 43yr old oracle dba - you should listen to those little voices of doubt in future).
fair points, well made etc. Builds a little, seeming to draw to the conclusion and then ends with
Taking all of this into consideration, we realize the seriousness of the allegations against Mr. Nievelt and will cooperate fully in resolving this matter.
Was I the only one expecting to see "Fuck You" - maybe even all in caps?

for them to put code on the web page - then surely the original holder of the page has the right to put whatever they wanted on the page.
