Basically yet another device that uses energy, seeing as all newer pcs come with built-in wake on lan that cannort be disabled anymore. Just another gadget that uses energy, even if the computer is powered on..
Given that VP8 officially has only one codec and H.264 has multiple codecs available all in varying stages of completion, and diverse quality levels, he should compare vp8 video to H.264 multiple videos each encoded by another H.264 encoder.
If You think Time Machine is a safe backup method you are in for a surprise. If you delete or overwrite any file you will lose the deleted and the overwritten file in the history as well.
This has put a new twist on the story of Rumpelstiltskin. Don't set the password to a simple name you plan on say while talking to yourself and gloating.
Which of course will need a button to be disabled as well.. So now we have a vault with a complex combination, Which can be opened by turning it on it's side. Now we are going to add a second layer to the security, so we are adding a padlock. To make sure the padlock and the safe can be opened in case of emergency, we add as a security feature that the padlock when held upside down will open with the combination/key. All of this will need another security......etc, etc.
The best way to secure a microsoft windows based system, is by leaving the power switched OFF. On that note the only way to secure any system at all is by leaving it powered off in a vault and throwing away the key, so no one can steal the hardware.

Please learn proper English. They mean the third company, not the third world.
Simple they are still thinking that most pirated copies out there contain keys passed on by buyers, as opposed to key-genned keys. So they think that getting the gamers info at POS gives them someone to point the finger at.
So in the end the only one I see getting a bad deal out of this is the buyer whose key inadvertently gets genned for the first pirated copy.
It's highly sexually charged yes. And even has some steamy moments, like the single scene where Xev is seen naked in the shower, but there is no actual sex visible anywhere in the series. In the netherlands the series would be rated PG-16 because of the violence. In the US I would guess that is would be rated R because of visible nudity and all the sex talk.
In general I quite enjoyed the series. And would recommend it to anyone that likes alternative-fantasy-science-fiction.
Even so far that I watched all episodes within a couple of weeks.
Lexx, The most powerful spaceship in the two universes.
Simply known as 'Lexx's weapon' that is powerful enough to be a planet killer.
The Lexx is a bio-engineered, Manhattan-sized, planet-destroying, bioship in the shape of a giant wingless dragonfly, or to the remotely Freudian eye, a phallus. It was grown by ingesting organ collections from the protein bank on the Cluster, the seat of the Divine Order, for use by His Divine Shadow. The Lexx was originally intended as the ultimate deterrent: the threat of a weapon that could instantly obliterate any planet would keep the remaining "Heretic" worlds of the Light Universe in line, and those that refused to capitulate would be summarily destroyed to reinforce the point. This plan was foiled when the crew commandeered it to escape from the Cluster.
The most important function of the Lexx is its ability to destroy entire planets with a single, high-powered blast. Its primary â" and only â" weapon is initiated by command from the captain only, followed by a highly dramatic sequence when the Ocular Parabola found on the surface of its eye tissue flips from a smooth surfaced dome into a complex array of satellite dish-like structures. Huge amounts of yellowish-orange particles are released en masse from the array and focused by Lexx's nervous system to a point just above its mouth. Once focused, the particles burst into a massive, forward-moving, planar wave which expands ahead of the Lexx exponentially until colliding with an object of sufficient mass to disperse it, usually a planet. The wave instantly vaporizes smaller ships without losing momentum. Though the Lexx is designed to destroy entire planets, it can fire less intense blasts to hit smaller targets; however, the smallest area it seems capable of destroying is roughly the size of an entire city.
A special living energy being known as the "key" is required to control the Lexx, and it will usually only respond to the one who has it. A special holographic hand-scanner on the bridge confirms that the captain of the ship possesses the key, but after this point the captain can control the Lexx through voice commands.
hmm they invented the first (cold?) fusion device and all they need is a proprietary catalyst to fuse two Oxygen molecules into one Hydrogen molecule ? Or are they renting CERN for the rest of the evening ?
I hope no one falls for this obvious scam.. There is no H in CO2 or in CO. -- I am so sorry for not reading this article before posting, but basic 101 chemistry says if there is no H in there, there is no hydrogen.
Perhaps I should put to rest my punch-card programming skills. But then again if Microsoft ever looses their backups, they might need them reconstructed from the original punch cards. Then my programming skill might come to their use again.. patches anyone ?
Wow that was GOOD, you are a really talented piss & poop joke maker. Keep up the great job, send Bill Gates your resume, maybe you'll end up taking over Seinfelds place.
They say that they are comparing apples to apples ? Well not according to my humble opinion: closed- and open-source products are like apples are to oranges.
First of all the open source product is usually not hampered by intentionally crippling due to MPAA restrictions.
Secondly the closed source app can not depend on fixing problems at short notice.
The Egyptians hacked it for you quite some millennia ago. I think you can still find some of their hacking tools on the Gizeh platform. But be careful they where also the inventors of the curse of dmca.

Microsoft may be evil, or not, but dont assume EVERYTHING they do is evil. the reason for THIS particular warning (and it is a warning) is because of one of 2 reasons:
1) When you install Linux, you are given an option to resize your windows partition to fit Linux. The rezise only moves the partition, but does not update any checksums or transient indexes. Therefore When windows next boots up, it has to do a checkdisk, to ensure that the partition is still valid (same as a linux fsck), and data integrity is maintained. There is usually nothing wrong with this, and in general is a "good thing"
2) if you mount a windows NTFS partition in Linux in read/write mode (not reccommended) it will also need to to a chkdsk, as checksums are not updated.
1) and 2) are irrelevant, for I had neither mounted nor read nor read from the hdd, nor did I resize or otherwhise use it. The only thing I did was boot.
Yeah Excel and many other apps are working under wine despite microsoft's continued efforts to thwart wine. They sometimes even went so far as to changing their libraries to make sure 3rd paty apps wouldn't work under wine.
And as of recently they added a feature that blocked installation of Vista (SP1) on a dual boot system with a dualboot manager not certified by microsoft: Dual Boot Not Trusted, Rejected By Vista SP1
Recently on a neighbours laptop when booting of a (linux) live cd, upon rebooting into windows the system started complaining that the system would possibly be severely damaged and that it had to be checked. This was on an acer, one of the better known microsoft cronies.
Try to explain 'em what they did wrong in a way that truly hurts them. Fine them for each infraction they did to the opensource community and every other company out there they brought to extinction, or even the brink thereof.

exactly my thoughts, I know for a fact I have never had lower read or write cycles while running around with my laptop with a CF-Drive.

Him this would seem like a good location to sell some ethernet cables with gold-plated plugs.
Or should I sell some gold-plated SATA cables?

we add as a security feature that the padlock when held upside down will open with the combination/key.
Should have been: we add as a security feature that the padlock when held upside down will open without the combination/key.
Which of course will need a button to be disabled as well..

A more fitting title for the article.

Sorry I misread some of the earlier news on ff 3.1 alpha.
And I guess I did the clasic "forgetting to google" mistake.
Firefox 3.1b1 uses the chrome java engine that's who.
Thank you o so much.
the existence of a souls is a myth brought to us by people who did not know and/or understand what electrons and the periodic table is.
