I'd rather bitch about the media on this one. I looked at the complete list from the other article, and I have to say it was pretty easy for them to go through the list pick out some crap and make it look horrible. For example, they mention "Entertainment Weekly: The Greatest Hits 1971" well what about the other ones that were included 1965 - 1993. For a library that is a pretty good set.
Not that I like the RIAA, but really I don't think it is as bad as it looks from the articles.
developer: I wrote this in Java version 5
manager: 5!!! what happened to 3 and 4
developer: They skipped those numbers.
manager: oh, ok then good job have a raise.
Not that this example is completely realistic but is it really that hard to understand?
Any manager that is confused by this probobly comes to work with no pants on sometimes.

Ah, Offtopic. I really should have elaborated. Although this doesn't seem like something that should be patented, it's not like this is some great idea. They probably would have been fine without a patent because the idea is ridiculous.
This is one of the dumbest ideas ever. Banks are hardly even needed anymore. The only reason I go into the bank is to complain about something or to open/close accounts. The rest I do online or at an atm. Coffee doesn't make it any more necessary for me to go in.
This article is 4 months old. In March the power company Cinergy in Cincinnati started offering broadband over powerlines. I havn't heard much about that since then, I really would like to hear something about that. Is it still around? Is anyone using it? Are there any complaints?
Seems like the cost of bandwidth would be trivial. If it is actually possible to stop using land lines all together, then the majority of the costs would be associated with maintaining WiFi equipment. You wouldn't be paying an ISP to make sure that you are connected, it's your responsibility.
Yeah it says it's ok to broadcast music ripped from cds, and downloaded legally from places like iTunes.
Does anyone use this yet? I was wondering if you have the ability to mix songs and use a microphone to talk, or if its just like a playlist. I'm guessing it's the second option here, in which case this idea isn't really new. I remember using this to do the same type of thing with winamp.
I think it could easily be replaced with a two key combo. Maybe hold both shifts to toggle it.
I use it sometimes to see if my windows machine is dead or if it's just really slow. Usually if the Caps Lock light doesn't toggle on/off it's time for a hard reset. Of course there is allways num-lock for that.
I think the least useful lock is the scroll lock.

Yeah, but I kind of got used to her. She didn't seem to know what the hell she was talking about but she was a decent tv personality. When Patrick Norton first came on, the show was kind of awkward and boring if you ask me.

G4 reminds me alot of ZDTV. There was only a handful of shows, and the overall feel of the channel was about the same. Seemed kind of cheap, and they played the same episodes about 10 times a day.

Last I heard, comcast in my area doesn't show techtv. Not even on digital cable. I've been watching it on cband satellite for a long time, since it was zdtv. Anyways, I don't think comcast likes to do what the customers want. So for those of you hoping for archives of the old techtv.com, good luck.
At least if you were one of the 6 people you could use your powers to annoy the crap out of your rich friends. I.E. Program it to start vacumming at 3 A.M. every day.
The first prototype was presented to the public in 1997 on the BBC TV program "Tomorrow's World." The Trilobite, which will be on the market in a couple of weeks, has extensive research and development behind it.
They could be talking about this. Although I don't know much about the history of the Roomba. It still could have been first.

AIDE is good too. I think tripwire is only open source if you get the academic source release. AIDE is open source.

Yes, that's something worth having. And perhaps worth patenting.

Of course, this would be in a utopian WiFi world.
Think TiVo.
But how would that connect? More pins?
XP can do virtual desktops if you install the powertoy for it.

A poster sized frame? Doesn't Wal-Mart sell those?
I guess these people trust the accuracy of these programs.
Personally I think someone should work this out on paper. Any volunteers/nominations?

Unless Amazon's Trilobite Price-tag of $1,799.99 is a typo (which it is not), why is this robot 10 times more expensive than the Roomba ($159.99) ?
I think I would just buy 10 Roombas. Then I would have the added benefit of racing/fighting them.
