I mean, the industry doesn't care about a few geeks. But when Joe Sixpack has enough of all those restrictions, that's when it'll hurt the industry. The question is, how much will it take?
Actually, 802.11n devices can use their array of 3 or more antennas (MIMO, Multiple Input Multiple Output) to detect the general direction of their counterparts and send more energy in that direction. It gets nowhere near your 125 miles, but it's quite an improvement over a/b/g-devices.
Get your facts right. Not "every dang person" has a Sturmgewehr 90 (the name of the rifle), only around 200'000, which is 3% of the population.
Women don't have to join the army, a very little percentage does. Many young men avoid the army by declaring themselves as not being physically able to go through the military education.
There were 51'000 shooters at this years Schützenfest, less then 1% of the population.
And about the terrain: have a look at Google Earth. Big parts of the country are more or less flat, most of the population lives in the lower part of the country. An invader would probably have no problem to conquer those parts of Switzerland.
shouldn't they have checked all these patents and licenses before implementing them?
Problem is, if they avoided all those patents, vlc wouldn't play much more than Ogg Theora and Ogg Vorbis. Sadly, all major media formats make use of dozens of patented procedures.
In mathematics, a Mersenne prime is a prime number that is one less than a power of two. For example, 3 = 4 - 1 = 2^2 - 1 is a Mersenne prime; so is 7 = 8 - 1 = 2^3 - 1. On the other hand, 15 = 16 - 1 = 2^4 - 1, for example, is not a prime.
So, wouldn't it be more reasonable to only mark those media files which are 100% positive illegal instead of marking every single mp3 or avi file? Last time I checked, mp3 and XviD was still legal.
Oh, wait, we're talking ??AA bullsh*t here, forget reasonable...
1. How secure is this? IOW, does it rely on anything at all other than JavaScript on the client side, or does it hook into the OS on some level?
Considering the fact that it works on Linux with Firefox and Konqueror (only in KDE 3.3.2), I don't think that it has to be integrated in the OS (which, OTOH, is no evidence that Microsoft actually didn't integrate it in the kernel:) ).
2. If it does require anything other than JS - even if it does only require JS - is it Windows only, or have our good friends at Microsoft realised why a goodly portion of the tech community is, ummm, hesitant to accept thier 'vision' of what computing should be?
As already mentioned above, Google Suggest works in Firefox and Konqueror (probabely also in Safari and Opera), no matter on what platform / OS
Yeah, how dare they find out how many pairs of socks I've bought in the past year.
Oh, just make fun of me, I don't care. But remember what I've said after they arrested you beause of that "unpatriotic" book you bought two days ago.

Why can't there be a Linux distribution that is changed to meet commercial desires?
RHEL?
Why can't there be a Linux distribution that is changed to meet home user desires?
Ubuntu?

Anyone taking bets?
Well, I'm sure it won't be "Satisfaction"...

I'm sure Google has some sort of web based webbrowser in the pipeline. Wait...

No, wait! It's only a dupe.
Seriously, I think everyone loves black holes.
No. They suck.
Well, if that's not possible, how about not releasing a "software" which identifies each and every media file as illegal?

Slashdotted in German?
As the Heise Newsticker tends to have the same effect as Slashdot on linked sites, the term "geheised" is a accurate translation of "slashdotted".

So THAT's what Beagle 2 is doing all the time up there...
And I thought that's the business model of Starbucks...

There is no such thing as a 'legitimate pyramid scheme'.
They had a little help...

Any idea how long it takes to develop a new telescope? The JWST is in development since a few years and still it can't be launched before 2011.
ever heared of Plutocracy?

No, but it's all part of a giant system of surveillance. Once all those pieces come together, 1984 will look like a bithday party
George Orwell got it all wrong! I't wasn't 1984, it's 2004!
