I don't know if you read too much into the "kriminalisera" part or what.
But none the less what he said is more or less "I like the idea of copyright but we can't look at millions of people as 'criminals'", shall they judge them all?
If he then forms a law which help copyright holders find out the personal data of people infringing on copyright to prosecute them for that he has turned them all into criminals which may be punished for a very common crime made by millions of people.
The young(?) copyright infringing population is still at risk of getting punished and seen as criminals, something he said we couldn't have.
What I find even lamer though is that instead of trying to catch and punish all those millions of people actually breaking copyright (which wouldn't be popular..) they go after the TBP operators which IMHO haven't committed any crimes whatsoever just because it's easier, more well-accepted among the general population and won't hurt their own popularity (or rather kill it totally.. what if the kids of everyone/all families got ridiculous Hollywood damage compensations fees?)
For a government to criminalize (I don't care about your definition of the word) a major part of the population is probably more or less suicide. To just go after the leaders somewhat easier.
I don't think EU let us just say that copyright infringement for personal/non-commercial use is ok though. But in that case just fix it at EU level then.. Or rather reform copyright laws so it's only illegal/breach of copyright if you earn money on someone else work (don't know where that will put OSes and other very generic tools though.)
The law, morals, right and wrong aren't set in stone and can be discussed.
It had the ability to record near-CD quality sound from any source
Four channels mixed into stereo at 8-bit 28 kHz each, so not really 16-bit 44.1 kHz. Using AHI you can combine two channels into one to get 14-bit stereo though. Normally there was a lowpass filter on the sound to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Amiga_chipset#Paula
but the 256 kilobytes of RAM simply wasn't enough to record more than a few seconds.
Amiga 1000?
Back in the days of Amiga 1200 Commodore asked the game developers what they wanted to most, more RAM or better sound, and it ended up being more RAM (or was it 600 days? I think not.)
Golden axe for instance look better on the PC imho.
The reason we thought our Amiga games was so superior was to some extent because TVs blurred the image so much so one didn't saw how much it sucked;)
320x200 at 256 colors vs 320x256 at 32 colors?
But of course there was an era with 4-16 colors on the PC to..
And yeah, for most people their sound quality sucked, and on the Amiga the developers knew what their consumers would have and could make the game accordingly.
I guess PC gaming got better at the time of C&C and Quake. PCs as experience? Uhm, time will tell;)
Not to sound trollish, but if that's all you can come up with you are really lacking in imagination.
I'm not lacking imagination.
But I read your post:
"WebOS based flexible low-power display smart "phones" that can either be wearable, or as a small carryable."
Like if it was more or less a fact and that would be what they would release now when they had both technologies.
And I rather thought that was a little over-[word] since I wouldn't want to draw such conclusions and expect such things from so vague information.
How about a Smartphone or Tablet PC that uses almost no battery power to run the display, allowing for DAYS worth of unplugged computing instead of hours?
I assume most phones turn their displays of after a while if you don't use them? For a tablet PC I assume anything worth doing on it will consume the juice quite fast anyway. But anyway, my answer was the way it was just because I thought you assumed too many things from so little information. But now I understand if was just you imagining what it could be used for.
Also note that the screen is FLEXIBLE. What about a pull-out display on a thin wand-style device, or a smartphone with a display that pulls out ala Caprica?
Sound inconvenient, I don't want to get tears over my screen, or roll if up and try to hold it with some lock / have it fold out slightly bent with glare or varying degrees of contrast and so on.
But who knows, maybe it works.
After having used Amiga even after the death of Commodore I'm skeptic against any computer revolution claims:D
My Asus Netbook is powered by one "atom", and it's still dog slow.
Don't complain, it could be worse, you could be trying to play modern H.264 flash content on a Macbook Pro.
(Yeah, no need to reply, I know Apple just added frameworks which will make GPU accelerated H.264 from Flash available on the latest GPUs. But it should have been for freaking long, and it should be on all hardware which support it.)
Today I assume Moores law is mostly about steady progressive performance increase to guarantee the most profitable sells.
Got something with a potential to be 10 times faster? _NOW_? If you sell that and then don't get much development for a while afterward what to do then? You can't expect to sell it for that much more than the current products anyway.
Yeah, it's weird, like 1/3-1/4 of the DVDs I've bought lately have skipped in my player. That never happened before.
It's reasonable new, Pioneer DV370 bought for disc compatibility but more or less never used, have transported it with discs inside and on the side so maybe that's the problem. Dunno.
The Ice Age 3 disc got a small scratch / line in the plastic though so can't blame that on the player atleast. Don't know if it was lose or not.
In any case at least when you burn your taiyo-yuden discs you know they work and are scratch free until you start using them..
I remember some weird game "played up in the air" on some sort of flying islands where you could build cannons and such to defend against other players.
Anyway, my friends played it and when you started a multiplayer game you could see the IPs of the other players... And if you left a game it counted as a loss in the statistics.
So they got quite high rankings from being able to handle jolt alone. If you can't beat them nuke them!?!;D

I'm going to have the Monkey Island theme stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Let me fix that for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf6w7_bxWNM
... thought I think Monkey Island II may have been HD installable and so was another great game of the era: Dune II
just plug'n'play
Or in the case of Titus the fox plug'n'wait'n'play.
Or in the case of Moonstone / Monkey Island II / ... plug'n'swap disks'n'play'n'swap disks'n'play'n'... :D

Listening to the video the Roland does indeed bring out a whole other atmosphere/spacier/punchier to the sound.

Well, HP just bought Palm. Use your imagination.
Ok, I did and I come up that maybe they will use some palm style interfaces on the watch.
Now what? :D
He asked about a consumer version.
so Apple wants them to pay too - including Nokia, who don't want to. So Nokia countersued.
Look at what you wrote.
If Apple want to bitch about others infringing on their patents maybe they should had cleaned up their own backyard first.
What are they doing suing Nokia in the first place when they themselves haven't signed any license/agreements/whatever.
AFAIK there may have been something regarding what deal or prices they would get vs others. I think I've read something such.
Anyway, stupid idea starting suing Nokia and Apple still behaves like arrogant bitches and this time it didn't worked that well for them...
They obviously thought it was ok to infringing on others IP but start bitching as soon as someone does the same to theirs?
Maybe instead of suing everyone they should try to come up with better products?

Or just share the LSD and there's no need for a rerun and you can share all kinds of creativity.

Place it in the cup holder and press eject.
When they need to figure out what it feels like being a 30 year old virgin - Just ask!
I'll boot AmigaOS 3.0 on mine, boot times where a little slow anyway ..

Will these calculations be affected by radiation?
Will one have some sort of error detection in that case?
You must be a complete retard to try to play them on a film projector.
What you need is a multimedia projector!
Yeah, it's weird, like 1/3-1/4 of the DVDs I've bought lately have skipped in my player. That never happened before.

Also I've never had this happen to a cartridge:

Later on no-one wanted to play with them though.
