i though they are doing good in the embedded market. dont most new pdas have ms os on them? im no micrsoft fan but the only people who are going to care about vulernabilities are server admins not mr. pda user
I totally agree. Its the same with Microsoft. This is why they have such huge market shares. Haven't they heard of the phrase By Hook or by crook? If adobe/microsoft were to come out with some kind of method that made their software invincible to cracking(ha) then everyone who pirates copies would be forced to switch and use another program. and then they would buy/recommend that software they are familar with.
i saw reloaded on imax and the thing i noticed most was the pits on fishburnes face were about a foot tall. kinda scary. you could fit a small child inside them
actually they are putting dots in the middle of the screen which arent covered up by most pirate releases.
and about the comment regarding high prices. I think its mostly the ticket price holding people back. Most movies that come out suck, who wants to pay $7 for each one? most pirates arent evil people, they just live in the real world where people dont have endless disposable income. too bad i have a feeling the MPAA wont be going away anytime soon
doesnt anyone find it funny that the company sco bought (vultus.com/) has a slashdot monitor which must always have sco bashing articles on it? demo site
this is exactly what ive been waiting for....now you do not need to drop extras or recompress to get retail dvds on backups. this is great news! ill wait until second generation of these and then pick one up!
check out megagames.com they have no-cd patches and some of them work over the network. if a game checks online for only a cd key you should be able to play it online
at my university, theres only one bookstore on campus, the rest (who do most of the business) are located off campus. so the university itself isnt seeing any of that money, just the professors who write them and the publishers.
what makes me really mad is this semester for one of my classes the books were ordered late so the professor sent a pdf of the first chapter. I know this guy has pdfs of all of the chapters somewhere. yet he still makes us goto the bookstore and buy his damn book. he could still make the money to line his pockets if he just sold us the pdfs and went around the publisher completely. at least i wouldnt have to waste so much money on his poorly-written book.
the fact is features sell. microsoft has known this for a long time. and thats why you see all these fancy gizmos and stuff. the average end user doesnt know about stability and performance. they like the end candy though. why do you think windows xp is such a good seller? its not much different than 2000 underneath
i just turn off the speaker when i dont want any radio calls. nextel phones are the best in my opinion because the menus and the way they work in general is the same no matter what phone you have. just hit the speaker button on top once and it mutes it.
i dont know much about what is going on. but didnt linksys recently opensource their firmware. i wonder if this could be of some use in solving the hardware problem?
I know everyone here hates Microsoft, but i welcome any change to the settop boxes from comcast. they are so slow (like 3 seconds to change a channel) and if the software works on the same machine and runs at full speed then it is an improvement. if only freevo or mythtv could be put on those boxes and would support digital cable it would be the holy grail!
i thought the funniest part was that there isnt enough room to sit so you cant drive, but you couldnt drive anyways because the thing weighs 10,000 pounds. i think that kind of defeats the point of it being a car when you have to tow it around anyways

i thought the same thing when i heard about it. they are kind of doing it early though, the next one comes out in 2005.
does anyone remember the boba fet cartoon that came out in the 70s or 80s? that was badass

Its the wireless intellemouse they are talking about. supposedly the black one has a leather cushion looks badass Wireless Intellimouse

you can see it in action here. it seems alot faster than comcasts and the remote is the same so im guessing it runs on similar hardware

I would like to see the new TravelStar 80GN in some sort of small iPod-ish MP3 player. Given, it's a 2.5" drive, but damn!
great an ibm drive so when the head fails i can get that screetch of death...now on the go!
