"however, I'm failing to see the practical impact of his work"
one word advertising.
lenticular displays are becoming quite popular with marketing firms curently and I can see this become a big thing in the next couple of years.
Or what the manufacturers might do is simply support the broadcast flag through software. The more I think about it, a software solution for supporting the flag is the most cost effective option. Companies don't have to go and redesign any chips and boards all they need to do is have some code monkey do a check for the flag in the software and the job is done no expensive retooling, plus all your exsisting cards can be "upgraded" to support the flag.
Granted I'm most likey oversimplfying the whole deal here, but this is how I would do it because it's the cheaper option.
Ok this is offtopic and I'm sure the super secret mod cabel is going to mod me down for it, yada yada...
All you people bitching about dupes got it all wrong, we need these duplicated stories on slashdot for a few good reasons.
1) without dupes there would maybe be one story per day on the front page. 2) without dupes people would have to resort to actually being insightful on their own instead of just copying some other comment from the previous story. 3) ???? 4) Profit!
There is a simple reason to your query. If you have people willing to pay $4 for substandard coffee, those same people will be will to pay for "free" internet access. when in doubt always look for the profit motives.
There is a simple flaw in your argument. Both Ebay and Google are large companies, thus they are excluded from being shutdown, now if Ebay were being run by some kid in his parents basement...
The truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping onto a bicycle with no seat, but it still hurts.

for those who don't get it I was trying to be funny.
yep, better get used to them. But look on the bright side the "in Soviet Russia..." jokes might die off now or we'll get new hybred jokes like "In Soviet Russia, old Koreans make bad jokes about you!"
Simple they found it offtopic because the mods are insane.
That or the moderators are nothing more than a bunch of monkeys locked in a room forced to read slashdot all day.
imagine that the world isn't so small afterall. I hope that this isn't just some one of a kind oddity but an actual new species, it would give hope to all the cryptozooligists out there that perhaps their favorit mythical beastie is real.
I for one welcome our new 32bit overlords.
but seriously this is a good thing, imagine all the bloated software you'll start to see in embedded projects because of the increased address space.
This might be a stupid question and I'll probably get modded offtopic for it but...
Where is it law that a news reporting agency (which Google news essentially is) has to provide both sides to the news. The way I understand it is they can display results (report) however they damn well please.
Sure it isn't very ethical to skew your news reporting to uphold your political views but it's been happening for centuries.
with all those old win2k machines out there still being used by big business who don't need to upgrade because it still works I can't see why Microsoft wouldn't provide updates to these people. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that there will still be IE updates available to the corporate users who aren't going to upgrade to XP.
I read the article and found it to be nothing more than a fluff piece. It contained very little about the internals of the ipod nor hardware design. There is more indepth information on Synaptics' web site than in this article.
I'm sure I'll get modded even further off topic for this.
Oh I agree totally, you shouldn't waste time and money trying to reinvent the wheel. I just find it stupid that somebody would consider this news that apple doesn't make part of the ipod.

I hope so because it's really hard to be leet when oneself is drunk.

What your describing would be right for screen printing, but comercial printing todays is now done for the most part is done on cmyk presses.
" Still lagging behind apple, who is currently at 1.25 GHz bi-directional bus."
yes because everybody knows on Intel chips your data has to take a taxi for the return path.
of course AMD got around this by using jetpacks.

This comic is to geeks as Doonsbury is to Democrats.
If I had visual studio and the .Net framework on Mao OS X, I'd throw away all of my other computers.
Mao OS was that the one the chinese were developing?
I agree with all the self rightous out of the way the pornographers would have it all to themselves.
Except Powerbooks don't work when they're closed. Think Toughbook.
Yes something like a CF-17 or 34 you wouldn't even need the backback just wear it with a shoulder strap and your all set.
damnit now I want to go and spend way too much money...

This just in apple doesn't make hard drives!
nobody makes their own products anymore. Probably not first post anymore.
