Seriously, searching the site doesn't take long, and now uses Google to do it, A quick search of Creative and virus would have found the original. You see?
While it's more common on Macintosh, I use Stuff Expander for Windows. It opens almost anything thrown at it, and it doesn't need the proper extension so it can open mystery files as well. It works in the background and the only time you see any windows from it when you explicately open it, or when it's decompressing.
I used to use WinZip back in the day though, and it was realible, and quick, so maybe it's time to re-evaluate it.
Most devices made now adays don't even have IR ports. Apple stopped equiping their devices with IRda ages again (the titamium PowerBook G4 700MHz I think was the laste one), and it's very rare when I see a laptop with it. IR on cell phones is even rarer - I think Nokia is the only company that still really sells phones with IRda, and Palm is the only company still really pushing behind IRda. What was the point of updating a protocal that has be replaced in the computer world?
I though I would never see a good use for DRM but I could actually get behind and support this. The one problem it brings through is your locked into Windows. It wouldn't be such a problem if the companies got togeter and created one standarized DRM scheme that everyone could use, but no, that would be too perfect a world.
I use Mac's mostly for there superior hardware performance (I use Mac OS X too but I also use Linux from time to time). Assuming that this uses the SPARC platform instead of the x86, you can sign me up.
Actually, the PowerMac G3 had internal Firewire connectors for internal FW drives. Those were removed with the G4 though, and put on an add-on card for those who needed it.
That was only because they wanted the PS2 classified as a computer to avoid taxiation in some contries. I'm not actually sure if it's that, but it was legal reasons they released PS2-Linux, not to help spur homebrew game development.
All versions of Mac OS X used CrashReporter to report crashes. Normally it was dumped onto the econsole. Now they are logged in/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
Debian's main source of income are donations. However, Debian-stable hasn't been updated now in 2-3 years. Most people I know don't use Debian anymore because stable is SO old, can't, or don't want to bother using testing or unstable. If they want money, make a damn release, or die. It's really THAT simple.
Why the hell don't they just label it public beta, since it seems they want no one but a very select few to use it. This is more like a beta test then a product release...
Why the hell do people post this on Slashdot. It means it's getting press and going to make bigger news sources, and some people/idiot might think that this is legit, and take it over other artices.
Writing a letter or calling IBM would be worth like 1,000 to 10,000 signatures because it tells people that you really want this, and you aren't just filling out the form many hundreds of times. If you really want to see it happen call IBM: 1-800-IBM-4YOU
I wonder if they can do this, considering that the idea does come from the Matrix, and thus that it could be considered prior art. Well, if/when any lawsuits come out about this, we'll see if it does then.
A double-sided DVD is 7.4GB, but your righ, that's still nowhere close to a terrabyte. I just wonder how long until we start to think a terrabyte is small.
Qemu has been ported to Mac OS X, and it is possiable with crosstool (http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/) to build a cross-compiler fairly easily. Failing cross-tool, it's just a task of building everything in the correct order and applying any recent patchs from the GCC bugzilla. I don't know if crosstool has support for building a i{3/4/5/6} compiler, but you can easily add new targets by modifying a few of the dat files.
The FDA will never let them release this as a drug because they'd be releasing another virus to fight cancer, and even if they did, there was still a chance the HIV could mutate, and then we'd have even more problems to deal with...
Bullshit. IE for Mac was slow and buggy. The Mac OS X version crashed until 5.2.1, and due to the agreement between Apple and Microsoft, Apple was forced to ship the non-working version in some of the first copies of Mac OS X. IE for Mac breaks the standard even worse then the PC version of the damn program. IE for Mac removed the zone options, forcing that all sites follow the same settings, as well as often crashing and being slow.

So how long until we see a dupe of this dupe?

I relieze that, but why effect logged in users. Bots post AC cause once an account gets modded down enough, it starts posting on -1 by default
I'm not sure if I'm should be scared or not ......
BTW, what the hell is up with the new image text?

Can I just upgrade from Windows XP 32-bit to 64-bit, just like I upgrade from 2000 to XP? Also, will 64 break most/all of my 32 bit apps?

Ironic that this gets posted just after: "Unpredictability in Future Microprocessors"
