You know if someone got really smart, they'd use that excess heat from the PC to generate more electricity in the same way a Hybrid vehicle works. If laptops are hot enough to cook someone's privates, maybe we can put that to some good use.
Shit onboard SCSI was the only reason I would have bought a Mac. When USB (an Intel invention) first came out it was soooo buggy. I can't believe that Apple relied on it entirely in the beginning. (USB 2.0 is much better.)
Wow a Mac person saying that having an internal structure more similar to that of a PC is an improvement. On top of that, as a PC person, I always liked some of the features that Macs came with as standard equipment.
Weird.
I'm not sure if you're replying to me or the other person. I know the history of the the failed Divx player. DivxNetworks (the owner of the DivX codec from France works for them) now owns the name Divx outright. That's why you can go to divx.com and see their site. Who cares anyway?
Wow. That's amamzing. Accoring to this story at beconnected.org Divx files can be watermarked and rendered obsolete after a set period of time. I wonder why people aren't using that feature? It would seem to make sense.
One other thing these companies need to do is to tell people with popular laptops how to connect them to their TV sets. Just about every laptop on the market today has video out, but nobody uses it. I even use wi-fi to deliver movies from my desktop to my laptop/TV all the time. It isn't that hard, but I know Joe Sixpack hasn't thought of it.
The book isn't going to be a tit for tat denoucement of various conspiracy theories. The book is going to talk about how conspiracy theories come about and become a part of popular culture. Anyway, $15,000 isn't a lot for NASA to spend. They've spent more when confusing Metric and American units of measure.
I think that this is the real advantage of the Euro. It can really help to point out price-fixing as prices on anything can vary greatly across Europe.
I've been wondering if it was time to buy AMD's stock yet. I was going to wait until they were closer to the release of their new 64 bit chips, but I might have to jump on the hypewagon a little earlier.
Shortwave is ideal for people who aren't connected to the web. Believe it or not, many people around the world aren't. Many international broadcasters still use shortwave to broadcast to developing nations. Shortwave is also harder to censor than Google. (Yes, you can jam it, but sometimes broadcasters can get around the jammers.)
Another important thing to mention is that shortwave is the only link to the outside world for some folks. I believe that the BBC recently quit (or at least scaled down) their shortwave broadcasts on shortwave. Despite the Lindows PCs, radios are usually cheaper than computers and easier to hide for people living under hostile governments.
That being said, someone who needs a shortwave receiver in the 3rd world probably doesn't have a computer. For those of us in developed nations, this might make sense. A couple of years ago I might have considered it if it was better than a traditional shortwave radio. However, if the BBC doesn't broadcast on shortwave in America anymore, there isn't much else to listen to (please correct me if I'm wrong on this, cause I'd like to know). The only thing I've found are religious broadcasters. There are plenty of places to find religion on the dial already. Unfortunately I can't even get CBC or VOA on American shortwave frequencies. Thank god for cable modems!

That was the case. DivX Networks now owns both trademarks.

Far out! I can't wait until I can run OpenOffice for Windows on Linux!
Yeah I was going to, but I just got started at E-Trade and they don't let 1st time users buy stocks under $5. At least they won't for a little while.

It's time to make librarians do more than just sit there and read!!!
(Just kidding. I used to date a librarian.)
