This means squat, since I canjust unshare 10000 media files and share 30 not so popular ones. Deltion is CNN's added twist.
/., although this partisan article - by online writers writers whose brains have been bought with a $5000 bonus - is comic, I suggest getting your news from somewhere else.
People should stop sharing mp3 files, and start sharin.dat files. Sure, more HDspace is need, but I can buy 200GB for $50 these days, so where's the beef. mp3 sound quality, due ot being compressed, deteriorates after awhile, while dat file do not. Ripping CDs andsharing them as.dat files will keep music enthusiasts much happier.
RIAA doesn't understand that that is who they are pissing off. This temporary solution of suing 12 year olds and scaring US residents is not gonna stick. Get a life assholes.
I think designers of electronic voting machines should consider taking the route of least-amount-of-buttons-possible. Deriving from the famous gospel of the Navy-seals mission planners, "keep-it-simple, stupid" is the way to go.
Process: Each voter (1) scans their ID/Drivers License (most states have upgraded to bar-coded ones) like an ATM card, (2) Machine asks "Democratic vote or Replublican vote or Indy?", at which point voter pushes !! 1 !! button. (3) Voter leaves.
Obviously the machines can't seem to handle this yet, but it's a platform I think they should aim for.
Those citizens without an ID card do not deserve to vote since they obviously can't even earn $10 to supply one, or they're too dumb to locate the Secretary of State's office in their area.
Okay, I'm only gonna do this three times in life, and here's two:
In regards to the OneNote program, which I find very useful (I work IT in a law firm), we also circulate a lot of.pdf's.
Now, if someone (hint) would come up with a program to make scanned notes in.pdf format compatible with OneNote screens, and allow these converted notes to be searchable notes, sell the software (lets call it CashConverter) for $80 a pop, and BAM! you got yourself a small fortune.
Is not this method already used by yahoo and ISPs that give their customers personal websites to customize? Or am I understanding this all wrong?
So when I log in, I get a the week's performance chart for Starbucks stock and a thermometer pic that says 23 degrees? Can they find something more useful to drain my processors energy??...This "invention" by Isaac (Microsoft employee) falls under the category of unused accessories.
Aside from these two apprent cases which he has been charged with, will they sqeeze more "crimes" out of him now that they have their suspect in custody?
As a frequent net-perp, I would be real worried about the other skeletons in my closet (of course having someone like NYT on your ass doesn't come cheap either).
If the feds or the prosecutor digup more violations and criminal acitivity, those luddites will make "an example" out of him.
I haven't had the chance to read this Survey yet, since the link has run afoul of TCP/IP, but outsourcing is hurting millions in the IT field (which I'm sure you already know).
Why is it that Saudi Arabia has been able to restore its economy and again fill up it's offices with IT people, while the US keeps losing them (500,000 more projected this year). crapola I say
Interesting thing that Saudi Arabia is proven to be one of the largest "breeding ground" (for lack of a better term) and source of funding for terrorism, which is targeted at the US.
Funny how America's capitalism is directly responsible for terrorist acts against its own counsumers (use to be called citizens).
This is a way to entrench themselves more.
Most students do not live at school. here is an "outside" world. Having this type of technology at your fingertips, and the generous potential it offers, is awesome! So what if it all comes from one person, it beats reading outdated history books or "not learning today because we're out of chalk", or "the overhead is broken".
Exposure to technology and mass information (although this is probably restricted within school grounds) will excite minds, and soon they will be exposed to many other aspects of the tech world, especially with the emerging importance of OSes s.a. Linux.
This is not a Hitler(istis) move, as much as Gates may want it to be. It is a spark in our ailing public school system. I hope other tech companies will follow. Although nothing is stopping GE from investing in the same thins...they have interest in many tech co.'s too.
This is only one example of the many millions of grants to schools from Gates can produce. Him and his wife Melinda are planning similar programs with existing schools to fuse them with the latest technology. I'm not going to list links, because there are so many relevant one's. But take a peek at the Gates Foundations' active role with US school system.
I agree. Marshall's previous articles on this topic argues that simple service jobs will be replaced by robots (housekeeping...for one) and leave a lot of people unemployed. This is not an unlikely scenario, but I believe that this technological evolution will force humans to become more capable, producive and involved in the entire processes that make s such a productive breed. After all, we invenrted the wheel.
When I'm senator, I will devote my years in office to taxing every connection people have for their home WLANs, including those that are accessed by WAP and Bluetooth. So keep them PDAs coming!!!!
IM REECH BIYATCH!!
I'm a little bothered by this post, as the fact that the open source community and several others (even DRM critics) protested SCO's suit by themselves - rather than being led by IBM's initiatives - was established in March, days after the suit was filed.
This may be news to the legal community, which deciphers new chunks of information every three months, and then ponder it for awhile before reacting - whereas the tech sector made it's independent blast of SCO as soon as they saw how shallow their actions are. Luddite to say the least!
This post is simply an opportunity for those that don't care to get another chance at counterproductive mud-slinging... but then again, that's what we love here at/.
More like that bong I bought in 10th grade...
Being 2003 and all, you'd think it would look a little more advanced than a replica of Willy's Wonkavator.

I wonder if the sound quality gets beter or worse for those people with fat fingers? Reminisce back to theSimpsons episode on Homer...
So to activate bluetooth, do I grab my balls?
Are there any long-term heatlh hazards here? A derivative of carpel-tunnel?
I think you are referring to the GameGear. That thing was so thick I could beat my kids with it if they didn't turn it off.

Next they'll be using these to slow thevehicle down after 80 mph.

1. Mirror hard drives
2. Lock away drive with 5000 mpeg's in lockbox
x.x Use when necessary.
Are we now going to have rubber spokes on bicycles? No more shoe laces, short-strap velcro only?
Is this the best these Washington funded "think-tanks" can come up with. Pleeeease... scare me with somethign else, becuase that's all it is.

They're only accepting applications from Asia adn Middle East.
I want to be like Mike too; do little and make a lot.

I agree, half the battle lies with the local administration:
Will they be able to find teachers that are technically prepared for this kind of school?
Will the salary of those techaers increase spending?
What new teaching/classroom methods/setups will be implemented to make themost effective use of the technology?
How will the technology be restricted to allow for school material only, rather than 24 student in social studies staring at 3dub hick.com?
Thank you come again...
