So he runs a Windows OS, does that mean he can have a remote X session to another box? Doesn't sound like there's any restrictions on networking... or encrypted tunneling for that matter. Of course they probably record his keystrokes and network traffic.
Sometimes I wonder about the FBI though. I worked at this net cafe that someone posted information to a NRA message board about a cop killing that happened the day before in a neighboring state that was not known to the public.
So the FBI shows up to copy all our HDDs. First it was 2 people, then it was 8, 1 person working, another helping and 6 drinking coffee. They all stood around using some weird disk copy program I never saw before that took 6 hours to copy a 20gb hdd. Then they took the copies and left us the originals. I woulda thought they'd keep the original disks. At least they paid us for tying up 6 computers all day.
For some lame reason I can't use my USB keyboard to get into or use the BIOS on my Intel 955XBK motherboard. I have to bust out the PS/2 keyboard for that stuff.
But the reviews... especially the metacritic reviews... I laughed so much I started hyperventilating. Just trying to picture the rage, sadness, surprise, confusion, letdown and numbness everyone is feeling is awe inspiring. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Though it still doesn't mean it's "so bad it's good" cause it's damnable. The reviews are what's "so bad it's good".
I went cash only from the get-go... I read about the credit system and things going on back in high school. I also tried to stay relatively anonymous when it comes to any sort of data collection from companies.
Well the effect is that at 30 y/o with a decent job *everyone* wants a huge deposit from me for anything. Cell phone companies want $400 down to be on contract. No one is willing to give me a credit card... I can't even get a dept. store credit card. I never got any card offers in the mail period until I signed one of those cigarette surveys in a bar to get a free pack of smokes for my friend. Though unfortunately Chase felt I didn't have good enough credit.
I don't have bad credit... I have no credit. They all say there isn't enough of a credit history to extend any credit to me. Pretty weird in my book considering I know people in deep debt who can get cards and such.
I finally just got myself a prepaid credit card so I can make purchases online. The lame thing about that is it costs money to fill the card and they charge transaction fees.
They had a marathon of The Night Stalker on SciFi a few months ago... I had never seen the show before. It was awesome... I only wish they'd just syndicate it on SciFi instead of showing wrestling. I mean seriously, if they're going to show wrestling at least make it sorta SciFi wrestling like showing Kaiju Big Battle or something.
I agree with you 100%... I've always wondered why there isn't some sort of portable computer platform built around a model like this.. it can have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and compressed wireless video for the screen doesn't work. I'll concede to connected a monitor for full sized video.
They've gone quite far in a short amount of time opening up the hardware to more use. Now if they can get it to dual boot OSX and the ATV version. Or better yet some sorta mashup retaining the ATV interface so you can browse samba shares and stream any media format you want via the remote. A better (more informational/snazzy looking) music player would be nice too.
Hopefully Apple won't try too hard to prevent this from happening in future revisions of the hardware. Though I doubt the content providers are all that excited about the news. But then again... the amount of hacked ATVs vs. every other multimedia capable device is rater insignificant.
I'm sure this will be a hit with the I need a pretty little file server on a shelf crowd.
http://wap.trimet.org/ makes it quick and easy to get transit information in the Portland Metro area. You can search by line # or my favorite "stop ID" every bus/light rail stop has an ID# that you punch in and it gives you real time arrival info.
Shouldn't every content provider / IP holder who's content could potentially be recorded onto these types of media get a cut of the money? It would be a great crutch for talentless hacks to still make money without worry. In fact, I think manufacturers of bags/backpacks/luggage etc. should be taxed because their products could possibly be used in robberies.
I was doing this with an IBM PS/1 in 1992 and strangely enough, the sound quality was good. Though normally I'd be using a real telephone since there were more of them around the house.

It's probably more like 9 million accounts and 3 million users.
Apparently there's this fad called "dual boxing". This guy has 50 computers on WoW at a time between him and his gf.
And you thought your buddy was addicted with his ONE measly account.
Wikipedia already has the operation and underlying technology behind squirrel espionage outlined.
Wow... simply, wow.
The game is beyond words.

What's wrong with a movie about some network device??
Have you ever seen Warriors of the Net? It's positively mind numbing.

I'd like to see one with ethernet jacks on both ends... then it could be an inline analysis tool.

Oh crap... sounds like they stretched lady liberty out another notch on the rack.

Whatever you do, don't show anyone Warriors of the Net: http://www.warriorsofthe.net/
Or maybe you should, everyone will enjoy the nap.

Yeah this would be great... as long as you don't have to sit next to your TV to read tiny fonts or work a keyboard.
Sorry, I'm a dj... we invented the usage. I just used it here for all you tech geeks since you're riding our coattails.

The tubes... not the internet kind.
Flourecents tend to inject a 60hz hum into whatever circuit they're connected to. It makes your electric guitar sound horrible in quiet passages.
They could just use parody/satire rules... the scenario? "What if Harrison Ford appeared in a new lame Star Wars movie."

Can anyone name a fad that remained popular with teenagers for over a year?
Sex drugs and rock n' roll!
