There is always a way of copying a CD, no matter what protection it has on it... Put a microphone just in front of your speakers, or (with a bit of tweaking) just run the speaker cable straight through to your microphone plug.
I have found indisputable evidence that this (gaining intelligence by doing the in-out-in-out) is not true - just look at these statistics about brain partitions:
1) P0rnstars have 1% thinking and 99% "social interaction"
2)/.ers have 99% thinking and 1% "social interaction"
So there you have it, This is most definitly NOT true:)
You could get a high school kid to create all the accounts you would need for a month in about an hour, and pay him in pr0n.
I'd be glad to take that offer:)
I would think that the delay between transmission and recieving would have been too great for *simultanous* control, but this could really prove useful, eg: normal scientist could make observations while on earth. Plus you could get some pretty groovy pics:)
It's a shame to see such a ground-breaking chip bite the big one, but one thing to remember is that it's all part of the "circle of life" (now that's corny, isn't it?) Chips & their manufacturers come and go, but, if it weren't for that, we might still be using 586s *shudder* Processors are getting better (thank god), but so is competition.
Think of it this way, there are billions of people on this planet, many, many shoe types and an almost infinite number of possible situatuions related the footwear, It would be difficult, if not impossible, to model every scenario accuratly. These scientist aren't in another world, they're just idealising the situation to make it possible for them to do the math.
IMHO, Microsoft has the full right to do this.
Sure, windows is a common word, but Microsoft isn't sueing the glass making companies.
If you owned a company - Bobsoft and made an O/S -called BobOS - which you thought was really good, would you a)protect the name from people working off your achievment or b)Give everyone free reign over the name? You wouldn't sue all people who had the name Bob, but you wouls sue people using the name in their software to make it look like your brilliant company made it.
All in all, one heck of a legal minefield...
I hate linux - and no, i am NOT insane.
