I have a feeling that the only p2p user input in the whole system will be focus groups, conducted by the marketers of the new (if any at all) wave of "legal" p2p networks.
Theoreticaly, the senator (or senators, if it ever came to a vote) is the representation of the p2p users (at least those who reside in the USA). How well do you think he's going to stick up for your opinions?
The only thing that'll come out of this is a stronger Gov't stance for DRM, believe me. And when you or I complain that the DRM features of the new media are keeping us from excersizing our rights, guess who's going to stand up for the corporations and not the citizens?
Ok, mabey a little parinoid, but that's how I read this. You'll notice that the only group of people he didn't mention were the p2p users themselves.
Not exactly a monitor, but I've got a IBM 3151 terminal hooked up to the serial port on my machine at home. Makes a nice dedicated mp3 player. Bought it at Goodwill for $3 (including keyboard).
How much money a film makes in the US is not the best indicator of the quality of that film. With that in mind, there have been adult-oriented animated movies in the US that have fared pretty well. Waking Life by Richard Linklater is an example. While not traditional 2d animation, this movie uses a 2d-like animation techinque as a tool to create a sureal, dream-like texture to offset it's philosophical questions. Perhaps if fewer people worried about the money, more people would go down this path. And if more people did that, mabey they'd make better movies, and they might then make it possible for more people to make money in the same fashion. Animation lends itself to certain styles of storytelling, namely science fiction, fantasy, and horror. With it, you can convey a lot more with greater style, in my opinion, than your typical live-action style.
Mabey some of those animators, now that they have some time on their hands, will decide to group together to work on some non-family animation here in the US. Limiting the scope of animation to family friendly themes is such a waste of the artform, in my opinion.
In 2000, coming from France to the Newark airport, I walked straight past customs without being inspected, armed guards and all, and didn't raise an eyebrow.
Same situation here, in regards to using dosemu. The last time I used was about three years ago (I think, could be off). It was because I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to screw around with qbasic. As I remember, dosemu at that point could even a screen mode higher than plain text reliably. At least it's nice to see they've progressed a bit.
Slightly offtopic, but I once read an intersting story that mentioned wormhole buses being used in massive computers. The computers were so large that it would take several seconds for a signal from the far end of the computer to reach the other end. The way around this was to use a wormhole bus, which in essence exploits the properties of small (slightly bigger than an electron) wormholes to bypass the speed of light speed limit.
Phrozenbubble or whatever it's a derivative of. They used to have a machine at a cinema I went to that played this (it was a NG machine, so it had several games). Can't tell you how many quaters I wasted on that game.
Tetris, classic.
Pacman, and that didn't even have a button!
I would challenge any advocate of the "thrown free" argument to explain a single situation in which a body could be "thrown free" from a car in a way that would result in less injury than remaining restrained in the vehicle, even ignoring the hazard from landings.
Mind you, I'm not really a proponent of this theory, but my wife is (which annoys me to no end...). The only situation that she has ever given to me in which it would be better to be thrown out of a car is one in which the person is thrown out of the car (presumably out of the front) and then the car catches on fire and explodes.
Obviously, that is pretty much the only way being thrown out of the car would ever help you in my opinion, and the chances of it happening do not outweigh the chances of wearing a seatbelt saving your life.
Accessing "TiVoToGo" requires a TiVo Content Security Key and TiVo-enabled versions of the Sonic Solution (NASDAQ: SNIC) MyDVD(R) and CinePlayer(TM) applications.
The combined service will allow XM Radio subscribers to connect their PC Radio device to the home network and then access and publish their music on their TiVo Series2 DVR.
Well, I don't know, but that sounds like making copies of songs that you don't have the right to copy... Then again, is it illegal to make tapes from the radio? Wonder what the RIAA thinks...
If it rips the songs from the stream with correct tags and the appropriate filenames, I can see how some people would find feature desirable. But, you'd have to pay the Tivo initial hardware costs, plus the montly charges for both tivo and XM radio... and considering I can do the same thing for free with a shoutcast server and streamripper, I don't think this is going to sway me over to buying a tivo...

Yeah, it would have been even more interesting with some singing vegtables.

Twenty more years, and they'll let him out of the water tower!

Yeah, didn't you see the video?
Sorry about that. 3rd shift is eating my brain... That shoud read "...dosemu at that point couldn't even handle a screen..."

edlin owns them all.
Dosemu does do com and lpt interfacing, and as for the dongles, I'd assume that that would be handled by your software.
Then again, I could be wrong... I need sleep.
I don't know, you married her.
No, the computers were several AU long. Simple physics, it takes a while for signals to travel those kinds of distances.

The real irony is that she's a nurse. Makes you feel confident in our medical system, doesn't it?
Yeah, in 20 years, instead of flying across the atlantic or the pacific, they might just stick you into an oversized skeet and you'll skip across it.
Actualy, wouldn't be a bad idea. Pretty much no fuel expediture other than the initial toss. The only trouble is the landing....

Uh, yeah....
How about being able to access all of your media on a NFS share, for one. Or a samba share if you prefer Windows...
