DRM works well with a renting model, while it fails with a buying model. For example, if there was a music store that would rent me as many songs as I want for $30 a month, I'd take them up on that. Where as I will NOT pay $30 for 30 songs on itunes since it might not work with my next MP3 player.
First of all I can see universities and corperate researchers using it if it's better/faster/etc...
Second of all, if IP can be carried over carrier pigions then I think IP can be carried over whatever new network they design.
In addition, IPX and IP can run on the same LAN, who's to say that this new infrastructure can't be used in parallel with IP or in the worst case computers that need to be on both networks can have 2 NICs.
Thank you, but shouldn't transmission loss be considered when one is considering consumption? I can see G, C, and E being clearly metered in large facilities, but trasmission loss can happen between the metering and consumption of the electricity. Or is that little bit considered insignificent?
I'm probably just showing that I'm not an EE, but doesn't this equation have to balance: energy produced + energy imported = energy consumed + energy exported
With these numbers where did the excess go? ~200 billion kWh is a lot of energy to jsut disappear.
In many states there is a difference in ages allowed. In maryland it's not statutory if the people are within 4 years of each other. In New York, 2 years. This means that if I just turned 19 I can go to NY and sleep with 17 year olds legally, and 15 year olds in MD.
For physical stores I want a credit card that has a 3-part transaction. 1) Merchant scans card. 2) Card shows vlaue of purchase, merchant name, and yes/no buttons. 3) I click yes. Merchent gets an encrypted number from my card that allows them to get that amount of money from my card and no more.
Personally, I don't trust waiters and waitresses not to copy down my CC# and use it online.
I wish that was the case, but when I went to the 12:30am showing of episode 1, most people were cheering and clapping udring any part that was somewhat exciting (first words scrolliong in the begaining, start of lightsaber battle, end of droid army, etc...)
I'd much rather go to a late show a few weeks after hte move comes out, then a showing opening night (at least for something as big as SW or LOTR).
I think someone already said this, but I want to make sure everyone understands. If you disconnect your computer from all networks, and don't install anything, then most likely it will run just fine w/o maintenance.
RISC matters everywhere other then the desktop. Notice, all 3 new consoles are RISC. Many/Most embedded processors are RISC. It just so happens that the Intel/AMD battles and thhe economics of scale help x86 in the desktop market and the low end server market.
I like the idea of charging a dollar for the first year, and doubling the amount every year after that. after 10 year it'll be ~$1,000, 20 ~$1,000,000.
Just because Apple is using Intel processors does not mean that they are going 100% commodity. I'm sure they will still only support a limited number of configurations, thereby making it easier to be more stable then Windows.
"This is a huge blow to PowerPC's credibility," I don't know about that. Remember that the PowerPC is in all 3 of the new consoles, so losing SOME of the Apple line isn't that big of a hit to it's cedibility.

But how about people with a gamecube? Those have IBM processors in them. And how many of the Macs are G5s? Remember, G4s are not made by IBM.
And yes, I know you were being sarcastic, but someone might have taken your argument seriously.

Why wait? Use your gPhone to find out right away.

Yes, but from now on, everyone will think he did :-)
A simple standard, like having the play button play the movie, would make menu's a LOT easier to deal with.
That or doesn't understand that Java != JavaScript.

Don't give them cash, these are kids. Give them computers, PS2s, xBoxs, their name/handle in blinking scrolling text on a major news website.
I love how many people say that the answer is obvious, but they don't agree with the other obvious answers that are listed.

It sounds like you want a cell.
And yet, I was waiting for a small cheap MP3 player that would be perfect for long runs. Hey, guess what, the iPod shuffle is that MP3 player.
Just because a product does not fit your needs, doesn't mean that it doesn't fit the needs of others.

I still want to know how that is legal.

You know IM is importent when a company like IBM starts pushing it's own secure IM protocol, Sametime.
