Steve Jobs vision of a wired house compared to Billy Gates???
Steve's house, everything connected with either hidden wires, or wirelessly. Your computers are nothing more than screens that you an acess anywhere. Computers are used to make life easy, with everything just working.
Billy's house, the house tracks and watches over you. Big bulky boxes, tiny screens. everything connected with either hidden wires or wirelessly, but there will still be plenty of cords. You can watch a tv show while you download the latest patches, but don't forget to reset your house once a month or your stove might blow up.
>> Next they'll have sensor strapped to the back of every butterfly on earth, increasing hurricane predictability 10 fold
Except for the Butterfly effect where one little change can cause something major to happen elsewhere.
All that extra weight will change the butterflies flight pattern, causing all sorts of screwy weather conditions, the end of the world, Dogs and cats living together and mass tifoil hat wearng hysteria.
if you can find the joke above you aren't smart enough to read it to begin with.
AOL, MSN, Yahoo Google, all want to control how yuo view content. That whole WWW thing just got in the way. Think about it, if anyone could access everything what would happen??? Free speach, na just no money for the providers.
On the other hand if the majority of Email servers are F/OSS, and F/OS doesn't adopt it because of the patent, it doesn't make sense to support it anyway. You suddenly appear to be in MSFT's pocket.
Being in MSFT's pocket nowadays isn't considered a good thing.
MSFT wants to control the web, and is trying to build tech into longhorn to accomplish that. Embrace, Extend, Extinugish. Now Billy G is going after the world.
How to Kill MSFT, Kill x86. as a side affect Intel dies as well. Damn, now those brilliant engineers can actually build a better processor.
When the first computers were built and used, thinking smaller than a room was a dream. The Apllo moon missions, could be flown on a TI/83 calculator, and give more information to the pilots faster.
Everybody sees something a little different for future tech, what surprises people are the stuff you can't see coming??? Combining computers, and everything is slowly changing HOW we work. As we step away from hardwired controls, to software controls, how are things going to interact?
What really needs to be done is for us to learn how to use the tech we have in a better manner.
Actually i was thinking more like Diskless workstations with dumb terminals. The only local output reserved for monitor, with local inputs of keyboard and mouse.
In other words ID software's John Carmack uses Open GL. Of course ID software also open sources their Graphics engines after so many years. Quake 1 and 2 are out, I bet in another year or two Quake 3 will be released as well.
Um There goes weather images and maps, Next thing the US goverment is going to tun off GPS again as well.
People rely on both of those techs, very much. Without them we will fall behind really fast.
Weather is done by, Radar, sat. images, and stations all over the place. You can't track a hurricane if you can't see it coming because radar is only good for a few hundred miles.
So soon we will have a GPU(Graphics), APU(Audio), NPU(Networking), DPU(Disk)to assist the CPU in processing out details. This way we can save the processor for actually working on important stuff like running the BSOD's.
A processor to make saving files effeicent, A processor to sort out and verify that Network activity is correct. A processor to adjust Audio properly A processor for Graphics
>>Except for ending slavery, fascism, nazism and communism, WAR HAS NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING
Actually Fascism, Nazism, Communism still exsit, it's just that they are a shadow of their former selves.
Communism -- China, Cuba,- Russia fell because because they over extended themselves money-wise.
Slavery is still practiced today. It's just not out in the open anymore.
Fascism, and Nazism are just shadows of themselves, but still exsit, just like the KKK.
War doesn't solve anything, all it can do is breakup the probelm, which helps to mitigate, and minimize the probelm. But the probelm doesn't go away. hence the WAR on drugs means you still can buy drugs. The War on Terrorism will be fought the same way as the war on drugs.
You need to change people through knowledge and understanding, not by force. Force only works for a little while.
Actually if you use WMP9 then yes you have to use them. WMP 9 doesn't give you the option for anything other than WMA for coding. You can disble the DRM but you have to find it in the options menus. DRM is enabled by Default.
itunes however gives you choices when you rip including switching encoding mp3's, it also allows you to play a cd and encode it at the same time.
Instead MSFT is releasing beta software a year late. Or normal for MSFT.
A) Elctrical tape come in colors. White, Red, Green Etc.
B)Electrical tape is designed for heat very well. It's probelm is that it does like to stretch.
c) Lighter fluid, or another other cleaning solution(including fresh tape)
My router and cable modem lights boher me. they both have tape on them I haven't had any of the probelm you say. (A) is easy since everyything is black anyway (b) I use good electrical tape, not the $.50 roll stuff but the $3.00 a roll stuff (C) Electrical tapes greatest secert is that it loves to stick to itself.
You can coat something in oil so slick you can't hang on to it very well, put one rap of electrical tape around it. and then stick the electrical tape to itself and pull tight. And it will hold.

What and ruin /. by teaching these kids how to spell???
If they do anything why don't they just update slashcode to be w3c complaint.
did anyone else read
scoliarcode
as
solariscode
The results wil probally be the same too.

What is better is how can you Model Darwin and Fedora????
Darwin is the just the Basic OS, you can't run any OS X apps on it without Apple's software.
Fedora is pure Open Source, it just changes regularly, and has trademark restrictions on Red hat's images and such.
How are these the same??
Damn that's hard, Heck it's even easier than than *nix.

Yes the ITEF can use patented standards.
On the other hand if the majority of Email servers are F/OSS, and F/OS doesn't adopt it because of the patent, it doesn't make sense to support it anyway. You suddenly appear to be in MSFT's pocket.

>>Now, if only those manufacturers would put out some decent quality drivers, I wouldn't have much reason to stay on Windows.
Hell how about manufactors actually release drivers on their own.
Question for the Kernel coders, what perctage of drivers are reverse engineered?? 60-70%
>>Hey, if John Connor can highjack an ATM with nothing but his Atari portable computer, anything's possible, right?"
Um The ATM was probally running windows anyway. You probally could hack it with a gameboy running Nix anyway.

iTunes can convert WMA music to AAC, the windows version of itunes includes this.
not sure about DRM'd Songs though.

Why does everybody get this wrong???
MCDonalds won on Appeal. Their might of been some medical bills, but to things still stand.
Their coffee is really hot, and they didn't pay the millions. Just thousands for medical bills.
