Uh it gives you a location in a format that you can find on the map that comes with it. It isn't GPS or anything like that. I assume the format is like C5 sorta idea. I'd say thats pretty good, as well as giving the name of the location.
There could be other reasons for this. At my school we have a computer lab - and some computers ARE better than others, even though they are all the "same" computer.
One for example freezes every 95 seconds after you login - so you have to save what you are doing and reboot.
Some of them seem prone to accidently give you administrator priviliges as well. So there are other reasons...
I remember a while ago when all analog input devices were going to be required to have the ability to detect copy-protected content. It never happened however - because it was just TOO ridiculous.
Its the same thing - all the FLASH manufactures and 100% of other electronics companies will NOT go along with this. For most flash companies BIOS chips are probably a small fraction of total sales, so they cannot stand to have any retarted laws like that. So don't fear too mcuh!
OK - if you have questions maybe you should RTFA first, where it explains that $45 is a BEST GUESS of how much Microsoft is charging for the OEM version of windows.
Seriously, this is about as straight-forward RTFA question as you can get..
For quite a long time there WILL always be analog video out, at least in the form of component video for high-quality.
So long as you have that, you can make a recording.
Yes they can try to put restrictions on it (like Macrovision does) but like Macrovision it will be fairly easy to circumvent. So don't go crazy yet... unless you live in the USA that is, where the DMCA would make it illegal;-)
Yeah - there is an intersection near my house that the buttons control the walk signal. If you don't hit them then you don't get the wal signal.
They just updated the buttons to - now they have little LEDs that come on when push them. That way when you walk up and someone else is waiting you can see if they pushed the button... (a lot of people assume you don't have to and don't).
Its not so bad - the earlier version wasn't designed to be as secure, and this was 1999!! From the article:
Tiemann outlined an instance of how SE Linux is more secure than traditional Linux in his EclipseCon keynote Wednesday. He said that in a security test on a previous version of Red Hat Linux in 1999, it took only 45 seconds for a hacker to break into the system. A recent test on a version of Linux running SE Linux as its security policy still has yet to be cracked, even though the IP address of the system was published to would-be hackers and the root had no IP address.
Why? Just so you can say you have them? I mean there are people who would go an modify the sources and it would be good.
But I get the feeling NVidia could release any damn source and say it was the video drivers and 90% of people who complain about the drivers not being open-source would be happy.
It could just have a makefile, and spend a lot of time configuring. Then it compiles some huge-ass program, and that program does nothing. Then it installs its own propetory driveres. Problem solved.
lol.. just ment that by "my motherboard blew up" that it wasn't just some random thing and its just an expression. There was smoke, there was pieces of silicon around, etc;-)
Remember this *probably* isn't running an OS like we would think of it. I'd wager that everything is designed specifically for the mission, so the speed isn't a real issue. I mean its not like NASA is re-compiling its own kernel or something. And time isn't that imporant - everything HAS to go slow pretty much.
Trust me on this one - NASA probably knows more than all this Slashdot discussion...
Everything in there is space-certified - the chips will al be radiation hardended, each chip is probably around 500 times more expensive because of this, it aint easy. Then that is combined with multiple-redundancy and so on...
The CPU itself won't flake out probably, but what can happen is SEU (Single Even Upset), which is where bits get randomly flipped. This happens in a normal CPU a bit, but radiation makes the problem quite severe.
Someone made an install for the 2.6 kernel that worked great already, so no huge news I guess.
I'd download the new ones but my Linux box is broken:/ Damn motherboard blew (volt-regulator poped... literally) and its been 3 weeks so far w/ no new one comming in!
BTW, does anyone know how to Overclock a GeForce 5600 in Linux? Haven't found anything yet...
If you were first post, that would mean you *should* have had lots of time that could have been spent reading the article.
Plants normally go red or redish in autumn where the red pigments dominate over the green ones, or as a result of stressed growth conditions. The genetically engineered plants are modified in a way that only allows these plants to go red if triggered by a specific stimulus present in the soil. The stimulus is unique to the plant dependent on the actual application that is pursued with the specific plant. Stimuli may be heavy metals, or NO2 that evaporates when explosives are reduced in the soil. Such stimuli trigger the production of a key-enzyme in the biochemical pathway responsible for production of the group of red pigments called anthocyanins. The resulting colour change is expected within 3-6 weeks dependent on the growth conditions.

Could also be for the power supply that the TFT display uses.

Not like the article would have told you that....

It won't go that far.

The article indicates that the guy might not even sell ANY computers at all...
Hmm, though turbo10 DOES have buy-your-way-to-the-top style ads, which can be a pain.
Actually they are suing uploaders ONLY - they have no legal ground to sue downloaders.
What is 3721 for? That like 1337 in chinese or something?
Yeah - they really should have waited for the final release of the last version of the linux kernel.
OK - if you have questions maybe you should RTFA first, where it explains that $45 is a BEST GUESS of how much Microsoft is charging for the OEM version of windows.

There is however, a difference between a entry in the encyclopedia, and "lezbi0ns wh0 wAnT your HARD COCK! Clik here now".

Don't worry - by the time it comes out it will probably be equivilent to every other game...
Exactly the same way they do now.

They already do:

http://www.openh.org -- Open Hardware
http://www.yampp.com/ -- Just one of many open-source MP3 players

hehe... actually this time it was unprovoked :p
I have a computer case that looks like Tux - and each side of his bow-tie is a button. One power, one reset.
So I go to reset it, and hit the power button by accident. Then I hit it again right away to turn it on. Then it smokes...
So now I've installed two power buttons (have to hit both at once)...
lol.. just ment that by "my motherboard blew up" that it wasn't just some random thing and its just an expression. There was smoke, there was pieces of silicon around, etc ;-)

They won't - there is too much good stuff in there for people to steal. I haven't had trouble with them yet, so if they work who cares.
