Did you RTFA?? It just says we haven't evolved as much as the chimps. Or are you referring to the original post in this thread, in which case you mean me.
b) Shouldn't it boot anyway as "USB CD-ROM" or something? I thought any modern BIOS would do that. You'd think, but I know my bios supports booting from USB devices though I've had problems with some specific items; mostly flash drives, but I had an enclosure that I couldn't get to boot for the life of me.
Prior species of human that are now distinct are defined to a large part by what kind of tools they used. Since these species existed before Homo sapien, I'd say yes, there was ample time for evolution.
Am I the only one who is completely not surprised by this? Human evolution slowed once we were able to adapt our tools rather than our bodies. While a fur covered man might be better suited for a cold climate, the naked man could don fur ensuring both were equally fit and able to pass on their genes. Apes don't have that luxury, so those that can't cope die. Humans just invent instead...
But the whole point of patents is to encourage innovation, by providing protection for unique ideas [sic] No, the whole point of patents is to ensure that information isn't lost as trade secrets when companies die. Without patents, nobody would share secrets with their competitors, and we'd loose those secrets when a competitor is run out of business. With patents, we keep them on file for all of the public to see in the Library of Congress. Of course, nobody in their right mind would publish something this important publicly when they could keep it safe by hiding it. The protection was a trade off to provide incentives for handing your ideas over to the public. You're right in that the net result is to encourage innovation, but it's not encouraged by protecting ideas, rather it's encouraged by the fact that in a few years the playing field will be equal again and your competitors will have access to your secrets. To stay on top, one must continue to innovate.
This contrasts with copyright that now allows one to ride a singular idea for the remainder of their life.
I like Vitelity.net. Depending on the Vonage adapter you currently have, you may be able to unlock it so you can use it with another provider. If you search the bargainshare.com forums, you can find instructions for most, if not all of them.
But who's to know if Vitelity isn't also infringing. Does anyone know what the patents actually are? As I understand it, they were related to call termination--ie connecting a VoIP call to a POTS user. That could be a problem.
Well, it's not entirely MSI's fault as Intel dropped PATA from the chipset--which saves a LOT of pins that can be used for other things or make the Southbridge a lot smaller. MSI probably should have used an IDE to SATA bridge chip instead of an IDE to USB bridge chip, though, as that could have been transparent to the rest of the system, though it would have wasted probably 2 SATA ports. It's a trade off...
I haven't found a datasheet on it yet, but my assumption would be that chip doesn't allow booting. Essentially what you have is an MSI board without IDE support. Because that sucks, they integrated the JM20335, a USB to PATA bridge chip, much like what's likely used inside your USB CD-Rom drive. Unfortunately, it would seem this USB chip is non-bootable, like many USB Flash drives... Remember, I'm speculating on that outcome as I haven't found a datasheet.
With a busted flush? Really? If you capitalise... Ha! What a joke! You don't even know what game you're playing!
I was referring to how when I asked for more technical details, you responded by again attacking my English. You bluffed. You're nothing but a pedantic college student who just happens to know enough about the Unix philosophy to talk a good talk, but when it comes down to it you have absolutely nothing to deliver. So instead you choose a subject you're less familiar with (English) and try to force it to comply with Unix file naming conventions. I'll leave it as homework to determine why my use really is consistent.
I've never seen an adequate solution using the dd command. DD is too low level. The best solutions I've seen have piped the output through gzip or similar, but even then you need to prepare the partition first--which is time consuming--and multicasting is still out of the question. The net result is an imaging process that is painfully slow and far too limited, especially if you also have things like NTFS to deal with, as this whole thread is about--combined Unix (OSX) and Windows. If you know of such a solution, then the world would like to know. I've been looking for something to replace Ghost and have only found Zenworks to be equally powerful, yet significantly more expensive. Reading over the rest of the comments, it seems nobody else knows, either.
And, yes, I capitalize things at the beginning of my sentences. Get over it. That's how English works.
New software dvd players may refuse to use it/force you to update the firmware, but my understanding is that if you only use the drive for cracking and never playback, it will not become a doorstop--you'll be able to use it to get volume keys indefinitely.
Parallels for Mac is more feature rich than VMWare. Things like drag-and-drop of files and coherence are really nice, and I'll be switching away from VMWare when Parallels updates their Linux workstation product.
No. DD isn't flexible, saves extra data, and isn't designed for networking. Real imaging tools should include multicast, compression, and auto partition resizing--both shrinking and expanding. DD's fine for at home, but not so good for lots of systems.
Wine handles Wow just as good as Cedega. If you're paying for Cedega just for WoW, stop... there's no benefit. If you use it for other games as well, then it's probably worth it. Just MHO.
Sort of open source. It'd be nice if they contributed changes upstream to the WINE project. Many of the problems they've had with games certain (esp older) games not working would be fixed if they used a recent version of WINE. (Un)Fortunately WINE wised-up and stopped using the MIT license, so Cedega development has suffered.
CrossOver Office contributes their changes, and they continue to exist and earn money. We could have had good D3D support in Wine a long time ago if Transgaming wasn't a bunch of freeloading asshats.
If it wasn't for games would there be any argument for Windows at all? How about properly formatted/. posts instead of newlines randomly thrown around? I don't think the OS h as anything to do with how oft en I press the return key.
The SNES has a slot on the bottom for peripheral expansion, just like the Sega with their CD-Rom adapter. Nintendo had a deal with Sony inked, but then decided they weren't happy with the terms--which gave Sony rights over the CD based games. Nintendo had historically been heavy handed in dealing with third parties and licensing terms. Nintendo then announced talks with Philips, shortly after Sony showed a concept, or maybe even a demo, at the '89 CES. In the end, Philips made the CD-I and Sony made the PlayStation. By the time they worked things out, Sony broke off the deal realizing the SNES was getting too old. The wikipedia artical on "PlayStation" has the longer version.
Anyone extracting Volume Keys from disks is not using the XBox 360 drive with an XBox, so no, there will not be an update that effects those doing the real work. It might just be more difficult to find a drive to do that work with in the future once MS starts selling updated drives and the drives that are attached to XBoxes are updated.

What does Toshiba have to do with this?

$15/mo for 500min then $0.04/min or $25/mo for unlimited vs $0.18/min or $10/mo+$0.10/min or $30/mo for what? 200min?
Yeah, I'd say they're comparable.... VM is a fine cellphone, but it is no replacement for Vonage.

On the MSI site you linked, it states "On-Board IDE (USB to IDE)
1 IDE port by JMicron JMB20335."
You can locate that part on JMicron's website

Bush is a republican. Next comment?
Just like the viruses? What doesn't format you makes you stronger??

But that has nothing to do with this because the key is extracted from the disc without AACS involvement.

Because it's based off a really old version of WINE?
