It doesn't matter about the innards changing any more than it matters whether McDonalds uses fresh chicken nowadays. If people want it, they will buy it.
Strange, I heard the transformers theme tune when I read that.
I think thats less of a hassle, since in general buildings are static.
However, after pondering this for a little while, I think a system of continuous scan refreshing (much like the index spidering) would capture the fixed elements and also show where the dynamic portions are. This includes people, awnings and also things like traffic and other slow moving processes (building extensions or renovations).
It might actually be good to watch for things like this, and be able to sell the information to developers or the city government.
Some Idiot: No the fan is still there. (see the pictures) It's just that running a slideshow doesn't demand that much cpu power and therefore the fan never starts. The other fact that helps to keep the system cool is that the mb is mounted in the lower end of the frame, so the air can circulate well.
But then you don't want to see your hard earned product get ruined because your business rilav offers you more money. You have been competing for the same customers for years, and many will have loyalties, either technological or psychological, you can't feel happy about giving up so easily.
It would be like Linus selling Linux to Microsoft.
It just wouldn't happen.
Now, if members of your own hand picked team come up with a buyout offer, or maybe a business partner from the very beginning, or your own children even, then its a comfortable feeling.

Does all this DRM and MS WMA format files take up space on the CD?
Does this mean there is even less space on a cd for actual music?
Or does the device driver (remember folks in Windows , press Shift when inserting the disks) create the WMA files on the fly for the listener?
I know most bands don't fill up the disks, but for those that do, it would be a pisser to be told to cut down your album cos of shitty half baked protection.

People who need a mac will buy a mac.

DANGER: Do not look into the goatse with your remaining eye.
Because napster and kazaa are locked in the network.
:)
Bittorrent is anywhere, I can post a torrent link here and have 1000s of people all getting the latest and greatest(!?) version of Windows.
Also, don't forget, its now becoming routine for people to download nice cd/dvd sized ISO files
They didn't care when it took hundreds of hours per disk.
That might be a little off, when I goto yahoo, I visit uk.yahoo.com (even if I type yahoo.co.uk)
however, when I visit google, I stay on google.co.uk
So it becomes 20 or 30% quicker because the client overestimates how much data is required.
There is a 100mb file that I want.
Theoretically, my client could end up downloading 130mb of blocks (worst case scenario).
You cannot create data from nothing, and so downloading only 80mb is not enough, you still need to get at least the 100mb.
This might estimate that it takes 130minutes, when the file comes in at 100minutes, the user thinks they have saved 30% of their time.
This only helps because more of the clients have a greater spread of the blocks, and so the faster clients can supply the file better.
But to me, this is a false economy, since everyone will be moving around more physical data, albeit faster.
You need to invest in some new t-shirts:

It will most l;ikely look like This!
Won't they capture 3d shots of people walking past or standing around?
Does the software only account for 3d structures over a certain size?

I was imagining something like the Matrix.
Where trained hacks can look deep into the flowing code and decipher it visually.
This is who provide the mapping service for yahoo.
The only thing I like about it is the Orientation zoom feature which does a quick interactive zoom out of the map.
And you notice that google have done it again.
There is at least 4 times more land mass than before.
The world population will have enough room to grow.
Thank you google.
I still can't deicide if thats a bug or a feature.
I agree with this.
A cookie cannot hamr me, it cannot steal my identity, it cannot transmit spam to thousands of machines, it cannot format my hard drive.
Its a ticket from the site, it lets you continue using the site later on without having to start all over again.
This is slashdot. All news comes from submissions.
If you saw it on a site a while ago, why didn't you submit it?
This is the first I have personally heard about this latest breach of security, but if I had spotted it somewhere else, I would have submitted it.
Yes and gay people walk around happy all day (actually, they might, but the usage of the word has changed)
Deal with it.
Retire it on the station itself.
Get it into space one final time and then have the shuttle like a caravan connected the the ISS.
And I thought compiler dependencies were tough!
That would be task #2 for the infinite monkeys...
