These vehicles do nothing to solve pollution, to get energy you need to have it stored somewhere. Either in a liquid fuel or in a battery. Batteries need charging and so you need electricity, to produce electricity you need to burn stuff, start off some nuclear reaction or use loads of wind power.
All you're doing really is relocating the pollution elsewhere or changing the form of the pollution.
Also the batteries and motors will have a limited life and will need replacing. A diesel engine can last around 200,000 miles, I don't think an electric motor will last that long. These cars do nothing to solve the waste that is used tyres, millions of tyres are used each year and there's no simple way of recycling them.
So guys, stop wasting your time and invent the teleporter!:)
Half of the fuss is about the fact that the record labels wish to keep us back in the stone age where we drive to a shop, pick up a CD (which is >20 year old technology) and then hand over an extortionate amount for an album with one or two singles and a stack of filler junk.
Internet is here to stay, embrace it or become irrelavant.
Large parts of the UK can't get broadband and these clowns are coming up with DRM recommendations?
Piracy is a problem, but with all the factors put together is it any wonder people are saving money copying music? house prices are very high (£125,000 average UK house price), council taxes have soared, NI contributions have gone up, fuel prices are slightly higher. The average UK citizen has between £2000 and £3000 worth of credit debt.
They should have used the C3 processor instead of the an old Pentium chip.
Linux is the ideal OS since you can recompile plenty of apps to work with the particular CPU. Although I don't want to leave the car engine running while doing a Gentoo build:)
If you want to relax then stop drinking caffeine and sugary drinks. You'll sleep better at night and thus will feel better at work, no need to take caffeine to wake you up due to lack of sleep the night before.
Of course such suggestions will no go down with programmers:)
Thing is I would rather have spam filtering as a seperate system, integrating it into the client very Windows like. Modularity is the *nix way, building nice systems out of little tools.
This sort of thing does nothing to prevent identity theft however, if you can fiddle the application process then you can get ID which will be genuine.
It is only when people protest that something odd has happened to them that identity fraud becomes apparent.
Why don't the relocate their whole operation to India and be done with it?
Oh of course, managers won't want to live in such a country as the golf courses aren't as good. We can't all be managers, so what are we going to do? McDonalds are losing money so we can't flip burgers.
You'd think with all the talent at Intel that they could do something better than Itanium which has been described by Linus as a good design but not a real world design.
Won't it just be easier (if there's any grounds for their action) to zap the offending code from the kernel or are they going to prevent this by not actually telling anyone where it is?
You might have named the OS, would help you know. There are many kernel versions, many filesystems, many distributions, many desktops.
Not to mention that you might have an extrememly poorly configured Linux system. UDMA might be running at a very slow speed for starters.
If you wanted to have a file in two folders you might have looked up symbolic links, you wouldn't need a file in two folders then, you will save disk space too.
It'll probably happen, some stupid chip makers don't like details of registers in their products leaking out. They somehow think a competitor knowing the interface to one of their chips will help the competitor.
With Linux coming as standard on cheap PCs it will soon be noticed by a lot more people. Trouble is it will stick in the mind of some people as being a cheap OS.
They actually designed some of Microsoft's hardware, not really a competitor. I bet there's a bit of price fixing between the two.
What a shame for Microsoft anyway, they're not used to having competition. As you can see competition brings its rewards, lowering prices and working hard with developers to give them what they want (ie. open source embedded OS).
I would think that these days (depending on application) it would be a better idea to use a slightly more generic processor of some kind and firmware.
Media codecs are developing all the time and hardware boxes can't keep up. Although this does generate more business as people will buy new media players once formats change.

Ok, I'll lay off the crack. Must use preview!!
Martians somewhere need to go somewhere to sunbathe and get drunk. How else do you think they get that nice green tan?

They can't buyout Linux that is.
Who says competition doesn't work? :)
Microsoft buyout Linux like it could with smaller rivals.

Plus if the students they sue are law students, then I can see the RIAA getting a rough ride in the future.

Hundreds of thousands?
How did they manage to document such a large amount of lines?
Automated tools me thinks, which does beg the question did they verify every single line?

Wonder how long it will be until Intel headhunt these guys?
Wouldn't be the first time

I'd never recommend Iomega to anyone, their Buz vid capture card had some of the worst drivers ever and support was pulled very fast.
Nope, there's an IOMEGA burner that does all known DVD formats, including RAM.

Nobody reads the article :)
Besides when I do it either fails to load or takes too long.
