I really don't understand what you are talking about. I just added a usb Laserjet 1300 at my small network at work and a ethernet laserjet 5m to my small network at home. I knew ESRs article and expected the worst.
The usb laserjet: During server installation suse/yast2 found the printer and just asked me if i want to have it configured. I said "yes" and it worked. On the client boxes i have been asked if i want to install a local printer manually or use a networked printer. I said networked and that was it. Cups found the networked printer on the server. Needless to say that i did not have to tell samba about the printer. The windows boxes in the network could just use it out of the box (browse the net, click on servers name, click on printer, tell windows it's a laserjet 1300, use it).
At home it was basically the same with the minor exception that i had to tell the server that it was a laserjet 5m i wanted it to use.
I repeat: I didn't have to tell the clients anything about the printer. I basically said "there is one on the network, use it!" and that was it... it was easier than under windows...
The article states "and your message gets sent to some spare bits on the memory." This sounds like complete nonsense to me.
IMHO they connect the display to the i2c interface present on all modern rams. This is usually being used to read the ram modules configuration eeprom, but people have already attached other things to this port via a simm shaped interface board.
I wonder if this could interfere with other on board hardware connected to the systems i2c bus.
Here's one question i always wanted to ask RMS:
Why does the GPL aks the authors to allow their software to be distributed under later versions of the GPL? I am talking about this:
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2
of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
Now the question: Who decides what a later version of the GPL is? And what if RMS writes a version 12 saying that "all this code belongs to RMS"?
RMS can then take any GPL'd software including the statement above and put it under his new version 12 license.
Atari had the ROM sockets in some of the 1040ST models reveresed, so i frequently put the chips in the wrong way. Once day the were even smoking. I was sure, these chips were dead, but i corrected their seating, switched the atari on and... viola... the roms still worked and i used them for several years on.
The second thing were reversed eproms in on of my other atari related projects. Powering the system on made the golden wires used to connect the die to the eprom package to glow. Both eproms worked like a light bulb. Correcting the searting made the system work as well.
My girlfriend today bought a new cell phone and she finally got a nokia 6600. So i'll now have a chance to test your player.
Currently there are native sender applications for linux, macos, palmos and now symbian. I wonder when someone will find a way to write a windows client...
Of course OBEX or the serial profiles work under windows as well, but a native sender application is way more comfortable and beautiful.
Sounds like its operating as a standard bt headset, which means that the sound quality for the wireless part is telephone quality only.
I have published diy instructions in the german computer magazine c't on how to build a device that receives mp3 _over_ bluetooth. See www.bluemp3.de (german page) for details...
Second, Linux initiatives have enabled foreign-based information technology firms with zero IP costs and cheap labor to easily compete with U.S. software companies.
The author tries to tell us, that there's only one direction know how is being tranferred: From the us to foreign countries overseas. He's somehow missing the fact, that Linux was started overseas and the Linux know how has initially been brought from overseas to the us...

Sorry to spoil your fun, but GEOS comes on floppy disks for the 1541 and in a fast boot competition, i'm not sure, whether my linux desktop is faster up or the sx64 loading geos from its 1541.
There are floppy speeders, but then my pc could play its "hybernation" card...
... the guy shooting that other guy because having found him in bed with his wife?... the alien race invading earth to get hold of earths resources?... this guy stealing a gazillion dollars and trying to hide from this very smart detective?
Where's the problem if they handle software copyright the same way? Books are the perfect example for not being sued over copying ideas and plots.
How about non-disclosure agreements to be signed before reading a book?

As i understand they are using the second audio channel for video. So this is basically a ordinary audio cd with some strange things in the second channel. Why doesn't this hold 80 Minutes of video then?
I have been trying to keep the elite 3d space trading game alive on the palm (either as freeware, shareware or commercial ware, i'd really agree on everything). Unless stated on the web site (yes, i should update it), David Braben has started to discuss the issue in the meantime.
So now i have been dicussing the release of this remake for more than a year with both original copyright holders (ian bell and david braben). In fear of not getting the maximum output from this, they both have expressed their demands on how they want the release to be done. Unfortunately, their different demands just cannot be fullfilled at the same time. The result: They can't agree on a licence and there probably won't be a legal elite remake.
What i've learned from this: Some classic games may be lost forever and a living fan base isn't everthing that's needed to keep a game alive.
Emulation can't prevent the number of legal copies of a game to decrease and some of the games may in fact just disappear.
Not all computers are desktop PCs. Have you ever heard of Palm Pilots? These things are slow!
I searched some time to find a decent integer square root routine to calculate object distances in my elite for palmos game. I would have loved such a book...

There's clearly proof of the existance of dark matter in the futurama series. How can a serious scientist ignore these?
