Scanning the rest of the posts, I didn't see someone mention an obvious fact. New FCC regulations prohibit landlords from prohibiting use of unregulated spectrum. Not to mention, you can't force someone to use yours. Interesting that UTexas is actually "breaking" a federal law by FCC within the part 15 regs. heh.
Man.... I truly hope that they don't make it Longhorn compat at some point. That would definitely be scary. It would at least fit the requirements of the dual/quad procs.
It's not as easy as it sounds. Problem with Chicago areas are that the buildings create multipath for the RF signal and also do wonders with interference and pilot surprise (if you don't understand these terms, you probably don't work in cellular). Basically speaking, there are times that the signal will bounce off a building in such a fashion that you'll get very good "coverage" and other times you won't. No carrier in their right mind is going to give you one of these maps, although I myself have seen them often. This detailing could lead to lynch mobs of the poor sales personnel in the malls that have no clue what RF means...
... that RIAA is trying to control broadcast signals? I thought they just work on getting the music out. Next thing you know, they're going to going to go try to make your radio pay-to-play. Napster was one of the biggest things to revolutionize the industry. And don't give me that mumbo jumbo about people losing money. Quit releasing that American Idol crap, and get some real music.
I wonder if those guys that have their tongue split in the middle, if they can maneuver at least two buttons at a time.
And man.. you'd have to disinfect that controller all the time. The only think I could see this in actual realistic uses (besides gaming) is if you put a cam hooked into the GBA (which Nyko has just released at E3). Modify that some and you'll have an electronic rear-view!
I can think of some good uses for this. Nice to see some people doing things for the handicap.
Metrowerks also wrote many many development tools for linux/embedded. Take for example: Embedded linux for Motorola phones? Also, the development kit for PS2 and many gaming consoles. They've been around ever since I can remember for great development tools (remember Codewarrior?)
And the only reason they get Freescale things first is because they're all Motorolan to some degree.
Actually, Freescale isn't a subsidiary. Motorola SPS is being spun off as a separate company (thus they're filing SEC filings for an IPO). They're only being held as a subsidiary for the time being while papers are being filed.
And since when was Metrowerks a subsidiary of Freescale?
Founded in 1985 in Montreal, Canada, Metrowerks moved its corporate headquarters to Austin, Texas ten years later. Other Metrowerks offices are located in Silicon Valley, Europe, India and Tokyo. Metrowerks became an independently operating subsidiary of Motorola in September of 1999. (http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/About/default.htm)
Patching Windows... the worst part is that you have to use a custom CD (patched Windows) to fix the problem.
Simple solution. Get a computer that isn't infected. Download the patches/fixes. Pull the network cord from the infected machine. Install the patches locally via media. Then clean the worm after the hole is patched.
Beats having to reinstall a custom-patched Windows fresh install.
OR.... install linux, and save the trouble.
Not Webmin. The Book of Webmin by Joe Cooper. The linked article says that it's owned by No Starch Press. That doesn't mean I don't hate SCO either. *grin*
Maybe it's not USB (since NT doesn't support it)... it's an IR wheel! Wait wait... my wheel isn't LOS... crap... stupid first mate is standing in the way! Argh! There's an iceberg! No... not enough speed via IR! Damn it. there went the stealth ship...
Have you noticed that WiX is XML based? And gee... Longhorn is basically purely MS XML base isn't it? I think they're trying to pose as helping the development community, but truly just push their own product line dependency. Scary.
Didn't the government just recently find that there were phishing groups that were sending their messages through spam? It would be amusing if Richter was in league with those groups.
Now even though I don't sympathize with any spammer, here's the deal. We need to stop those stupid idiots that buy the things from spam. If they didn't waste their money on overinflated products and things that don't actually work, then we wouldn't have a problem.
As far as the Can Spam Act goes, the U.S. has been trying to control the Internet for years. There's been plenty of bills that have been passed for control. How much do you want to bet that this has something to do with Big Brother watching us after Bush gets "broadband for the entire nation" in. What ever happened to privacy.
I think the bigger issue is: if you have your WiFi on... what's the lifespan.
Knowing my love of online games, here's my point:
a CompactFlash card runs one single power connector (thereby decreasing the range of the 802.11 signal). A PCMCIA card by contrast has two power pins (allowing maximum card outputs to 200mW transmit).
Granted, the PSP is probably less of a power hog than most laptops, but graphics graphics graphics. I wouldn't mind seeing some stress test results.
Battery life must drain pretty quickly out of that. WiFi is a power hog. Or else they're sporting some new fangled battery pack. That, or you're getting some major suckage on range.
I think so also. As the couple of Slashdot articles in the past have stated, the more media coverage, the more your profits go up. Interestingly enough isn't it. Personally, I still think that iTunes was one of the better deals out there versus all those stupid excuses for companies tryin to imitate them. All we ask for is music that we'll buy that actually is worth what we pay for. Heck, what's the last "album" that you can remember worthwhile to pay for? Not many are out there when it comes to Top 40s.
Actually, I run a nonprofit and this is what my lawyer had to say about donations. Apparently in all technicality, running a donation button on your website subjects you to all the state laws for 501c3s. This is a REAL pain in the rear and the IRS has huge issues with it. I've been to a couple of nonprofit tech conferences that never knew about the legal issues behind this. Strangely enough, the IRS isn't doing anything about it, but you never know... with the right nudge from Bush...
open source/academic projects?

I wonder if there are open-source/academic projects that are in relation to this. I've been testing GSPY and some other security camera software as of late. If you could do testing on this type of software and coincide with facial recog, there could be a lot of useful things that have nothin to do with homeland security and the like. (such as having a computer system activate off standby from facial recognition at a certain point). So I like science fiction... don't we all.
Sheesh... SCO finally laying off? They need to get rid of that senior management that thought of this stupid scheme to chase after Linux. Of all people, they should have took a hint from DEC and the rest of the big computer companies of the 80s. If your product is slowing in it's life-cycle, perhaps it's time to look at adopting a new product? (like Linux??? ) haha.
Feel sorry for the poor souls that work for them and are getting laid off though, especially in this economy. You worked for SCO? Welcome to Burgers R US!
Do you think that Comcast is trying to control WiFi sharing? Some people are not as tech-savvy, but wish to share their connections with the world. Now I could be totally off-base here, but if you happen to share your cablemodem connection with your neighbor, then they can "disable" that LAN segment...

We'll need Longhorn specs to run that. Or else it's.. click.. wait... click...wait... Lazy bums! Write native i386 linux!

I guess this is about the time we take the Internet Archive's cache of PG eh? I wonder if they cache all 10k books. :)

That's interesting. Didn't pay much attention to Metrowerks except it was a subsidiary of Motorola. And btw, IAAME. Heheh... GO figure that out. :p
I thought the International Space Station only allows a limited number of countries. It's the whole "No girls allowed in this club house." concept.

He's probably in league with bin Laden. Doesn't use technology and lives in a cave!!!
