With a bigger version of this kind of screen, you could play a proper game of Connect Four.
It might be adopted pretty quickly by the military though. It would be a great upgrade to those plexiglass tactical map displays you see in every modern submarine movie.
Q4: Is it possible to play "backed-up" games with this?
A4: Yes it is possible to play pirated games by using this vulnerability
but my proof of concept code will not allow this. You have to change
the exploit to patch the kernel in memory. This is not very hard and
I am not going to help you with this.
It seems that eventually the modded exploit will become available as well. So you'll have Linux plus the ability to play Xbox titles.
As far as cheaters go, yes they suck.
Wouldn't you rather be able to run your own Xbox Live server though?
I don't know if anyone is doing this, but active noise redcution seems perfect for this application.
Rather than try to absorb the sound a computer makes, active cancellation uses a speaker or transducer to produce a counter-wave of sound that can be very effective at reducing noise.
The technique works best with noise that has a regular pattern, such as computer fans.
It's too obvious for no one to have done it yet, but I'm just too lazy right now to search for it.:)
The makers of Underwood Devilled Ham has today leveled a lawsuit at the Devil over concern that the public might become confused or think that Underwood endorses the Devil and His products.
Spokesdemons for the Devil scoffed at the allegations, saying "Good luck finding an attorney who isn't already on the Dark Lord's retainer."
Provide internet bandwidth over DSL and tap into their customers own greed...er entrepreneurship to setup WiFi at their own cost to resell the bandwidth.
I hope the other ISP's take notice before Speakeasy overruns them.
On second thought, please come to California and overrun my DSL provider soon.

That movie could have been named "One Dumb Move After the Next"
The only reason for calling it 28 Days Later is because it had more blood and rage than a menstruating lesbian convention.
Imagine getting a pants leg caught in one of these people gobblers.
With a Lexan substrate, the OLED display will be as rugged and water-proof as the old tactical grid.
Finally, if enough EMP penetrates the sub to fry the display, half the systems on the ship will go with it.
Sorry, I'm just not seeing the downsides of an upgrade.

It's all fun and games until your signifigant other sends you some homemade porn during a business meeting.

For free?
Microsoft shouldn't fight this too much. More Xbox loss leader sales will mean more game title sales, even if (or because of) piracy increases.
Who am I kidding? Bend over Bill, here comes the Penguin!
For that matter, if you aimed 194dB at the ground, would you need wheels?
I've always wanted to see if one of those boomboxes on wheels would shake itself to bits if it were to play the right frequency of infrasound.
You mean like sitting in front of the screen?

Expunging the brains of people who's memories contain unlicensed copyrighted material?
More ads + higher prices.
Seriously, I'm guessing a whole crowd of black hats read that story and went "Hurray!".

Now with 50% greater weenie roasting surface area.
It's like putting Hilary Rosen and Ann Coultier into a spiked cage and fretting over who won't emerge.
I guess we all win this time.
that Corbis got permission from the Wall Street Journal to scan and redistribute it's copy as a pdf?
Thank you for the info. I thought they were only in WA. I'll switch ASAP if I can.

2. Inline image zooming
3. Right-click dictionary lookups
4. Automated (possibly encrypted) proxy chains
5. Less feature bloat
Ok, I guess #5 pretty much invalidates the other 4.
MandrakeSoft CEO: We're not quite dead!
SCO: Since the near fatal wounding of MandrakeSoft--
CEO: We're getting better!
SCO: For, since MandrakeSoft... who, when they seemed about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of lawsuits upon them,...[ugh]
CEO: Oh, we're bankrupt!
SCO: And I want MandrakeClub to look upon me... as their own CEO -- in a very real, and legally binding sense.
Oh wait, I think I meant "even better".
