Towards the end of the article: Making matters even more problematic is that, unlike 802.11g, where many early devices could be upgraded to the real standard with a firmware upgrade, that's less likely to be the case with the pre-N MIMO devices, depending on who wins the standard war.
However, I have read some articles that are saying the hardware in pre-n equipment may not even be compatible with pre-n. If the hardware won't work with it then a firmware update won't help.
but these latest flaws are far less serious than the vulnerability that Microsoft patched last week, according to security experts
This sentence says that according to security experts Microsoft has patched the previous vulnerability. The sentence should read: but these latest flaws are far less serious, according to security experts, than the vulnerability Microsoft patched last week
The article fails to say (or perhaps I missed it?) how severe the warp is nor how fast the warping is happening currently. Furthermore, it doesn't say when this warping was first recorded.
consumers armed with new MP3 players (primarily iPods) and stacks of gift cards gobbled up almost 20 million tracks from iTunes and other download retailers
Well, apparently a lot of people are also getting their music from KaZaa et al. MSNBC says, "Some analysts expect Apple to have shipped 37 million iPods worldwide by the year-end, with about 10 million sold in the key Christmas quarter."
That would mean everyone who just got their new iPods have loaded a whopping 2 songs onto it. Who said 30GB wouldn't come in handy?
Assuming people are listening to 128Kbps mp3s on their digital audio players and assuming each song is approximately 4 minutes long it would require 8416 music tracks to fill up a 30GB iPod. This means that KaZaa also enjoyed brisk success with 42,000,000,000 downloads (assuming everyone filled up half their iPod with videos (no, I won't go into the videos right now))
Your analogy does not relate to the situation. A more apt analogy would be the apple growers having to pay comapany XYZ because if they don't they will be sued for using someone else's idea.
The patent system as it is is completely flawed. We would be much better off with no patent system. If someone makes a product and someone else copies that product then whoever supports their product the best and adds the most innovation will win and the other company will die off. Kind of like natural selection.
I like that editor he is using in the presentation about schemas.
Can someone tell me the name of it and if there is something almost identical to that for use on windows?
why would someone choose to use a chip that is less powerful, intrinsically costs more to operate, and costs more to cool?
Because there are MANY companies that have exclusive contracts with certain companies, specifically Dell. This forces themt o buy whatever solution Dell provides, in this case, power consuming low performance dual-core machines.

Indeed. Now that I have checked it is definetely Windows 98 and not 95.
Sure... I mean, look at the glitch MS had when demoing Windows 95; we all know that was in no way representative of the final product.
It's still pending, but since now that it would be a dupe.... :-/
since now that it would be a dupe your chances of getting it accepted have just increased ten-fold
sounds to me like they need to auction each of those megahertz on eBay! http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/
They already went from A to Z and started at the beginning. I think they have gone through A and Z twice already.
Hear that Japan? you can still use your weather manipulator and we won't think the better of it
Finally. A reason for the screensaver function in Windows.

You think Linux is somehow immune to keyloggers?
It's immune to this keylogger.

Don't really feel like waiting until I'm 60,027 to see it again. If you RTFA you'll notice that it will come this close again in 2018.
Who said they're coming back???
Obviously the world is ending in 2020... I saw it in a movie so I know it's true.
