cuz they arn't doing much else with their computers anymore (like my witty into that combines two stories:) )
I seriously LOVE the idea of converting a record image into a real song, i'll have to try it out... too bad he doesn't have binarys included...
As for the Greece gaming ban, they will pretty much have to ban the whole internet because any ol' Joe Greek can go to www.shockwave.com or a similar site and game away...
I read through this serveral times, and it's still a little confusing, but here goes...
If you want only certain people to have access to your info, i say set up a service in which you have one user name and PW and, for a fee of course, that service would either forward the person that logs in into your own encrypted webspace, or host it themselves.
To not turn into MS Passport this would almost have to be a pay service to eliminate ads and the possibility of disclosure of info.
and we only probe the ports on your computer that you have made public.
Here is an easy fix, just go to www.zonealarm.com to close all your ports, and then if they somehow hack into your computer and find evidence after that then they are in violation of the current "you hack, you get life" law, so don't think it's a huge deal.
If you have an 802.11b-equipped laptop in the car on your way down, are you then warskydriving?
No, your just wasting money, i doubt many networks stetch that far into the sky... and how would you mark them?
Sounds interesting...

Parachutes for the car are optional. Their ultimate goal is to drop a Greyhound with forty people inside.
Think that would be enough to fit all the RIAA executives inside of? i'm not sure..
Seriously though why spend $15k to drop a car out of a plane when you can do the next best thing, throw wireless webcams off of tall buildings! It's fun for everyone!
I agree, death to free registration.. by the time you fool with all the generators you could have just used an email that is nothing more than a hotmail account that u clear every week.
Because of the pin-compatible DDR interface, QBM chipsets will be able to use both regular DDR SDRAM modules as well as QBM modules.
That's a GREAT feature. If i have 1GB of DDR ram and only enough money to upgrade the mobo, i'd go with QBM because of this. Then later on the switch could be more gradual. Backwards compatability is a good thing, just look at the PS2 and how well it sells.
DDR333=2.7GB/sec bandwidth
QBM667=5.3GB/sec bandwidth
Double the bandwidth with small modifications to a regular DDR chip has potential for growth.
It seems that the only problem now is that it won't be out until the end of Q1 2003, and it will be on P4s... hopefully they won't have Pallidium too.
A few years back the only option was a 1TB tape robot that cost over $100,000. Our RAID was about 30GB back then.
That's very true. I have an old 2GB take drive that uses one cart, now IBM is developing a 1TB cart.. imagine a robot that would swap a bunch of those around.
I know I will look like a fool for saying this later, but I think that we have drives as big as we need... that is until we are storing huge Virtual Reality environments on our PC.
It's interesting in a recent PCMagazine article that the "Big Drives" standard is going to allow drives up to PETABYTES in size, that's one THOUSAND TERABYTES!
Though way back when they never thought we would use over 1GB, which we have, I think that the petabyte range is pretty far fetched (the whole DirectConnect index is around 1.7Petabytes i think)
READ THIS ONE, I ACCIDENTLY REPLIED TO A EXISTING THREAD, THANK YOU.
In a year or so if my hard drive goes up i'd rather get a newer, bigger one... besides the only hard drive i've ever have die on me was 4 years old and that was a 1GB hard drive, by then they had 20+GB out and refined... I think that a price break to go along with the warrenty cut would be a good option.

Who needs CD protection methods, THIS is where it's ah, woo ha!
I remember those old Lego types... forget the names though:( some are blacktron, i forget the rest, they are all pre 1990 though.
such old men building such new computers...
i wonder what they would call themselves... Dell-Tron?
Will there always be a need? I dunno... maybe by the time they can predict earthquakes (see a few stories back) they can also generate a photorealistic 3D movie from outter space and then let you choose angles and moments to capture...
So I say no, there will not always be a need:)
if i hire a photographer to capture an event, the person is doing nothing more than giving a good angle, lighting, etc. on MY actions.
It's a capture of MY actions, MY position, it's a capture of ME! I belong to myself, and I say that if i hire somebody to capture that, it's my property.
Finally people in California can blow up their life boats before an earthquake hits and snaps them off North America:)
I still want civilian sattellites that can see individual people... think of the possibilities...
i thought for sure i saw this story on slashdot before... perhaps it was somewhere else...
And why a saturn? that's like putting a v12 turbo-charger in a VW bug...
Just stop trying! Don't try to shut down P2P, but embrase it as a reality.
Napster had what, upwards of 50million users or so? It's impossible to go after them all, so they shut Napster down.
Wrong move RIAA.
Shutting down Napster just took a hammer and hit it on a block of ice, that huge user base shattered into a bunch of smaller user bases that are harder for them to shut down.

Has anybody out there compiled and tried the code? i don't have BC++ so i'm outta luck.. it seems that Dev-Cpp doesn't have all the libs.

I'd have to give them permission first.
...and if you downloaded the latest Windows Media player than you already have, that is if they are in association with Microsoft in any way.

how long till we see a perpetual motion plane and taxi?

The FileFront P2P network is giving me the best speed, 300k/s, that is unless you /.ers can tell me something wrong with it? evilness? spyware?
