Or you could be sneakier and use a powerline ethernet extension, since they aren't very common not many people would look for one. I don't know how well that would work, since I don't use them either.
Sweet, I can start the market for Water credits, and start charging people like crazy. Just wait until they start making cars that run on Hydrogen, I will be crazy-rich!!!
You could have a hospital for healthy people, but it would just be for elective surgeries, (like breast augmentation, vascetomy,...) and routine check-ups, like physicals, mammographies, colonoscopies,...
What about small embedded computers? My WRT-54GL runs a variant of Linux (Tomato Firmware, to be exact), and definitely couldn't run Windows. Or are they going to provide hacked versions of all of the ROMs for routers and other small computers?
Some Routers can use external hard drives, so they could hold potential "terrorist" stuff.
I definitely love it. There is nothing more gratifying with a DVD than going "chapter next" during the FBI warning and such. Also, it has some crazy good skip recovery routines, where it is completely responsive while going around scratches in DVDs. I have a Panasonic player that sometimes completely freezes on a scratched DVD, while the H2000 does the best it can to play the DVD. (Yay for NetFlix for providing ample opportunity for me to test this feature...)
I have it hooked up via HDMI because my receiver (Pioneer VSX-515) didn't like the component signal for some reason, but my TV could handle the component directly. I usually use the subtitles, so I don't know about the closed captioning, and have never used it on any of the 5+ DVD players I have had.
Now MS will have to compete against a working, installed OS that is on the laptops, based on their own merit. Since Linux can be free, including Windows will increase the price, and might not be as usable.
Finally we can see if windows success is due in a large part to it being included in most computer purchases.
One of the biggest problems with the Shuttle is that the crew area is on the side of the external fuel tank, and the booster rockets. Yes, capsules on top may be "old hat," but it is a lot safer when you are going up and all of the almost-explosive stuff is under you. That, and there is nothing to fall onto the crew part. Who cares if the insulation on the tank gets damaged if it is below the crew part.
For example, how many missions prior to the Shuttle had problems with insulation falling onto other parts of the rocket?
I am not saying that a capsule instantly makes it safe, but it does alleviate a bunch of concerns NASA has with the Shuttle, especially since the Columbia accident.
It depends on when Sun started doing the Blackbox project, and the exact wording of the patent. If Sun started in, say, 2000 (I don't know when they did start) then yes, it could be prior art depending on what the patent covers exactly. But, if the patent covers something a bit more specific than "computers hooked up in a shipping crate" then it is possible that black box doesn't infringe on this patent, and isn't prior art.

Which is why I paint over areas to be hidden in a solid color that I eyedropped from that area. Then there is absolutely nothing you can do to recover data, and all you know is the color of one pixel in that area.

That still isn't a 64-bit version.
Just because you can run something in an emulator/translator (see WINE), doesn't make a native application.

Hence I said "side-on".
But, the stabilizing wires are tangled in the array, so moving at all (apparently) will tear it more.
Or rotate the panel so that it is side-on to the sun?

And then you could have a MMORPG based on Teledildonics
You also have to weight that against MS also not trojaning the updates as well, and not doing something that is going to mess up the computer...
Unless they meant music that is sold as a file over the internet, digital music included CDs.
From the comment I made in this thread: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=340069&cid=21122257

The Helios Labs H2000
The H4000 is similar, but goes up to 1080p, whereas the H2000 goes to 1080i/720p. I have a 720p screen, so I chose the H2000.
They don't have a presence in the US, instead shipping stuff in from Canada. I think that is to get around DVD licenscing issues.

Yay for segregated caching, where one machine gets data before the others do...

Except that PDF is an open standard, and a very good presentation format.
It only sucks if you want to edit the document.
But, what happens when the Europeans buy some American DVDs?
...
Are they supposed to change that stuff for each disc?
I solved that problem by getting a DVD player that is region free, doesn't do disabled user operations, upscales over HDMI without HDCP,
That, or make a ton of random queries so the snoopers buy a lot of not used domains.

And the whole 3 = 1 thing...
No, that is an uncomfortable place
