It's not all pointy haired bosses out there. In the pharma industry, you see software standards like CFR PART 11 being inforced top down. There are rules about documentation retention. All you need is a rule describing in which format they have to be retained... and if there is an ISO format available, then regulation-heavy industries like pharma, nuclear, etc. might jump on board faster then you think. Off course if MS makes a nice export filter....
I am not a US national and don't have the right to vote. Yet my life will seriously be influenced by the outcome of the next elections. So please use your f*cking heads!
told me on how they were afraid of the V2. The V1 made a loud humming noise and only became dangerous when the engine stopped. The V2 was faster than sound, meaning no advanced warning. It just went boom.
I remember reading an article that flies can actually see better than their multi-faceted eyes would theoretically permit, because of a similar effect. They take time into account and interpollate in the time-space domain.
Camera images can also be interpreted by computer. Facial recognition and auto-tracking of a person through a long shopping street (including hand-over between cameras) are technologies available now.
I guess it wouldn't be too hard for OS projects to use this as a source of revenue. By your music through Mozilla and support your favourite browser while you are at it!
You are soooo full of crap. If Disney published their music in a format compatible with the age group they are aiming at (ROM chip in gameboy-package?), I would buy that. Truth is there is no format available today which is "compatible" with a three year old. By the way,letting a three year old find out how to use a CD player is also education, and allowing it to make a mistake (destroy the CD) is an even more important part of education.
I buy VERY EXPENSIVE CD's with music for my kids. They take them out of the CD player, put them on the floor, walk on them and the next time they play them it's experimental rap music, not Disney songs. No backup = dead within a week.
I remember reading this SciFi book where there is a computer that has three fat tubes sticking out: the first one is for power, the second for icecubes(in) and the last for steam(out).
If I remember correct, the transmeta uses code-morphing to emulate a X86. Would it be possible to remove/alter this step and create a compile option on GCC which makes code run "natively"? would this lead to noticeable improvements??
This kind of speed will be used for streaming radio and TV. We need A/D converters which run that fast! More realistic, we need multicast enabled routers able to handle this shit.
They say they want to use it in Antartica. As far as I know, a fresh layer of snow falls each year so that every building eventually gets snowed under. This is solved now by making 1 storage buildings which once a year can be moved on top of the new snow. How the hell will they be able to dig out these big leggs and move such a big structure? Anybody any experience with this?
Seriously, can all these outsourced IT'ers make a living driving around town with an AD-aware CD in their back pocket? How much is the average user prepared to pay for saving his butt?
Just when email started to come up, a minister sent out SPAM. He did it in such a amateuristic way (he included a picture of himself,... in BMP format) that he made a complete fool of himself. Since then , nobody tried again.
I am Belgian (VERY bright on the map). In Belgium, all motorways are lit by lampposts all of the time (don't ask why). It does mean it has become completely impossible to see more then 2-3 stars at night. Light-pollution has become an issue and the astronomers are organising a "dark" night once a year, asking municipalities and private people to turn off the flood-lights. There are now standards on how much light a lamppost is allowed to shine upwards.
I remember a story of a litterature professor in Cambridge. He had literally his life's work stored on the C drive of his PC, with no backups. One night thieves broke in and stole his PC. He went to the newspapers and offered a large reward, "no questions asked". I don't know if he ever got it back.
I guess this uses less power than a PC. Having a permanent ADSL connection, Iwouldn't mind setting up my own mail server and maybe a tiny webserver with some family pics. But leaving a PC 24/7 is going to add a serious whack to my power bill. This could be a slution.

A lot of software requires a license for each processor. Your Oracle DB just doubled in price...

I hope you cut the cacke BEFORE you tuned the carburetor... By the way, is their server also hostedon a swiss army knife?

Shopping list: Norton AV for thermostat, Ad-aware for fridge, personal firewall for bathtub, VPN driver for airco...
Until somebody sends 10000 spam mails through your account and you get a friendly note from your ISP. Honestly, if you do this, block SMTP.
