You can see a mysterious video here which seems to be proof that the job has been done (obviously the person is being secretive about how he did it until he claims his reward). Brilliant - now we can have the viruses, spyware and blue screens of death that I thought I had left behind.
Of course the positive side is that there is now no reason not to buy an Apple, with the beautiful Mac OSX for all your day to day tasks, and Windows for those other programmes/games you think you can't live without.
In case you don't understand that reference to the the Advanced passenger train it was British Rails "leaning train" . The train-spotters' answer to Concorde, but was a catastrophic failure. Leaning over to take corners at speed is cool unless it throws everyones coffee into the isle. The story is in the BBC archive

You used to be able to see one rotting in the sidings at Crewe railway station. Does anyone know if it it still there?
The point of flexible armour

Flexible Body Armor
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
What's the advantage of using flexible armor on body parts that don't flex?
Having rigid plates even on parts of the body that flex less is bulky and cumbersome. Flexible armour is a great concept - far less noticable in normal conditions than some of the rigid ski body armour solutions e.g. Dainese
BTW For the pseudo science and some nice pictures of 'molecules' see the 3DO website
Before the open source hordes come rampaging it is worth noting that Nessus is still free.
Nessus 3 will be free of charge for end users or service providers or consultants to do whatever they want with it, except put it into a product or re-brand it as their own software.
They are looking to make money on their support of the product, which is a well astablished model.
"Hello sir, I can't be bothered to learn your language so would you mind speaking to the badly animated sesame street character on my portable gaming device?"
I guess this isn't going to be as big a hit among the international business community as Sony might have hoped.
Allowing customers to re-download missing files simply would not pay off in the end.
That is quite a bold statement. Perhaps the promise of permanent ownership and free future downloads would further increase consumer confidence in ITMS and significantly increase sales. Bandwidth costs would be easily offset against further sales, and with bandwidth becoming cheaper the long term costs of future downloads will become increasingly insignificant. Alternatively Apple could make a small charge for bandwidth costs. Either way I stand by the free future downloads concept.
Man, you are a better person than me. It is perhaps a little too late to point out a useful little app called
ipod rip. I think this one costs - does anyone know is there a free equivalent?
But the reason I don't buy music there is that if I am spending that much cash, I want to own something more concrete. What if my computer is lost, or the data corrupted? With a CD I can always re-rip, but with just the MP3 file it would be gone forever...
Why not have a system where once I own a song, I own it in perpetuity, and can download it again whenever I want?
I wonder when the first lawsuit over consumer rights and ownership of 'lost' music files will be?
I am always glad to see companies being less than ruthlessly hardnosed, but even so perhaps are we now expecting companies to be 'entirely selfless'? Sounds like the Slashdot community has been reading too much Karl Marx...
I for one welcome our statically bouncing moondust neighbours
I think the poster has grasped the less than clear point that 'bouncing like cannonballs' means not bouncing at all. Perhaps 'bounces like watermelons' would have been better, but then again 'melons' and 'bouncing' in the same sentence may have distracted some of our younger readers...
You could certainly pay less for one without the barenaked ladies on it. What are we talking here - a 128mb stick tops? $10 on froogle. Another $10 for the CD. How did this get by the marketing bods?
But I guess we know the answer...
It is another desperate attempt by the music inductry to catch the horse that bolted by doing something 'innovative' without loosening their stranglehold on the music.
Jonathan Klein of CNN was debating with Stephen Hayes about the CBS forgery scandal. Klein said that
"Bloggers have no checks and balances . . . it is just a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas."
I loved BF1942 and BFVietnam, but I can no longer justify constantly updating my now otherwise redundant windows box (I went mac for my work machine) in order to keep up with the demands of my favorite games.
Given that a PS2 or an Xbox is now under £100 in the UK what would folks recommend as the best experience of tactical first person online shooter on a console?

I fear the Technology mile is a victim of its own success, and the connection is painfully slow. I am back to the original Streetnet infrastructure here (which is working fine at about 85kbs).

Is that actually true?

Of course not, that is why ripping CD's is so useful. But neither would I expect to be prosecuted for burning songs ripped from a now defunct CD.

If you need your movies reduced to 15 minutes either you are working way too hard or you need your ADD medication increased!
