A religion isn't as bad, as good, worse, or better as another.
People are. I don't have any problems with any god, I'm sure he/she/it/they is/are a cool bunch, it's all those bloody "fan clubs" that seriously screw everything up.
Call me old school, but I never use the Explorer. It feels like trying to walk with your feet tied. It's so... cumbersome.
2 decades ago (bloody hell...) there was Norton Commander, it was an excelent alternative to using the ugly DOS command line. What a bliss it was.
And then came FAR, bringing the same ideas to Windows.
Suffice is to say that I always carry an USB stick with it, just in case I have to do something on somebody's pc. Can't live without it.
Sure you could splice into it, but not without a long traffic interruption, and that would raise some alarms. But the most suspicious would be getting your traffic back after that temporary loss. That doesn't really happen in the real world. Once you detect the fibre has been cut, that's it, you don't expect to get your traffic back 5 minutes later...
It also depends on with which margins they plan their network. A splice would introduced an unexpected attenuation, which again might ring some bells.
All this to say that copper and fibres are different beasts.
It does indeed look promising.
The specs mention audio, and I can only dream that it will be possible to output video+audio over HDMI: finally, a solution for 6.1/7.1 digital!
From TFA: "(...) about 700 watt hours of electricity per day, enough to light a 100-watt bulb for seven hours (...)"
From this other one: "(...) the dust caused visibility to drop near zero, which translates to people not being able to see in front of them."
This is not a coincidence, it really looks like they were written by the same person, with the same everyone-is-stupid-and-must-be-explained-everythin g-style.
Why stop there?
"Arizona dust storm, which translates to a storm of dust"
"could be damaged permanently or even disabled, or not enabled"
"where Opportunity is located, or where it is"
And so on...
I don't get it.
On the one hand iPhone will not include Flash.
On the other, it will play Youtube videos, which are in fact Flash Video files (.flv). So iPhone does include Flash.
wtf?
Now, see, this is the part I don't understand.
Even if the key is not loaded in memory, isn't reverse-engineering the exe enough to find that key, wherever it is?
"And I personally think the most important aspect of this weapon is that it fills the gap between shout and shoot which is a big thing when you think about it."
Shout and shoot. Definitely. Because talking and listening never got nobody nowhere.
"I hate the idea of losing CPU cycles for a copy protection scheme that doesn't even work."
It should be quite clear by now that all these schemes' purpose, very much like CSS', is not copy protection, but reproduction (as in playing...) control.

On the other hand, nobody forces you to watch them on a PC monitor. HTPC? Media players?
The speed it self is meaningless, it's the acceleration that'll make those nasty things to the anus.
what a coincidence :)

Maybe they could get the extra weight by piling some rocks on it.

Very promising.

But you already get simplicity, speed, and security with Opera.
Got to wonder :)
Or mainly because you didn't need or wanted to go somewhere.
Nah, not really, not this time... :)
But I'm betting we'll get one in two or three days!
"...the world's shining example of democracy"
I beg your pardon? Where did you get that from? As far as democracy goes, it is as bad as it gets.
I wonder how Apple goes around this problem...
and it's called bittorrent.

I guess these guys never heard of it!...
Anyway, better look for that tin foil hat, it might help!

Indeed. That's why the next step will most likely be to create, er, demand for it.
If you know what I mean.
yeah, well... there's no money it that, is there?
For fox sake, copyright infringement is *not* theft!
I was thinking... wouldn't it be great to have one of these in an iPod??
