He is a current employee of Microsoft and is discussing his views of a field Microsoft is directly involved in. So do you think somone with as much stature as him within the company possibly have pull to attempt this direction? Well as chief researcher Microsoft does pay him to come up with ideas I guess and maybe even use a couple of them.
I'm sorry you misinterpreted what I was saying but saying I imagined something when you have no fucking clue might bring point out some type of insecurity, maybe you are the threat?
The Leichhardt resident was convicted of possessing child exploitation material in 2003 after 59 sexual images of actual youngsters were found on his computer. He received two years probation with no conviction recorded.
This was his second offense but something doesn't really make sense with all of this. If these laws are put in place to protect then why is he not 'dangerous' enough to be taken off of the streets? This is starting to sound like parking or speeding tickets where they just do it to make a point but not really make a difference. It's not like I personally view 'cartoon porn' as something that serious although it is fucked up to get off of anything related to kids but obviously the courts see it the same way since their ruling was not much more than a slap on the wrist. So either the first conviction was too much or the system is all wrong becuase how can you say how much of a sex offender someone is? I would either think you are a threat to society or you are not how can you be kind of a sex offender?
Sorry about that, what I meant is if Cedega uses kernel calls then the kernel for the PS3 will already map the calls correctly with out Cedega it's self having to make changes for those calls.
Most games are already abstracted through DirectX anyway so they don't directly rely on the hardware to begin with (hence why you can run the same game on ATI/Nvidia). Since they have already figured out most of the calls (enough to make many games work) adapting to a new architecture isn't really all that bad. Especially if Cedega runs on the kernel and stock libraries it will make the transition all that much easier.

Hell a box like that with Linux and Cedega you would have a pretty cheap kick ass HTPC that could run a few PC games as well. Video transcoding, ripping, HDMI, ability to play almost any format of audio/video, really good processing power for the price, maybe I should get a job selling these babies. At the end of the day Sony is pissed because of their narrow minded approach that their game sales will tank but if enough of these things are hooked up to enough TV sets they will have a new opportunity maybe even roll their own OS that people actually want to use. Sony can put a pretty penny into R&D for a new OS / UI that could be pretty enough and they can sell you bits and bytes all day long. This is really what evolution/revolution is all about, sometimes they drag us kicking and screaming sometimes we do the same to them.
I don't have to backspace many times when I remove nested loops and they always line up properly (a personal thing that drives me nuts when two lines in the same scope don't line up) and it only needs one tap of a button to make it done. Hitting the space bar isn't a bad thing but it just feels inefficient when you have to repeat it so many times also most editors will allow you to highlight code blocks and use tab or shift-tab to increase/decrease white space which I'm not sure if they will do the same for you for spaces.
I think that if Mozilla would sit down with MPEG-LA they could get a really good license (i.e. no cost)
Being able to issue licenses means they can be revoked. If you look at the bigger picture you can see by licensing the format of video (if it does become ubiquitous through out) there is control over all video, kinda like that saying about eggs and baskets. When you talk about large companies you talk about power more than money, it would be more rewarding for a company to be able to disable a license (DRM??) to silence someone since it will bring them closer to those who have more power then themselves. Right now not many end users are aware or even care what codec the video they are watching was encoded in but as cameras become more powerful and cheaper they will have more power to disrupt communications, absolute power and all.
It is very cool, saving would put it over the top. It might be good for a white/black board replacement though if they make it in larger dimensions that is.
It does seem like a type of coordination of interest in the site possibly a bot-net but it could also be due to press releases or other media publications since it is a gov site. You would have to look over many days and not just hours to come up with something conclusive but it is none the less interesting that every country even those in different time zones accessed at the same time and it is odd that the Chinese are interested that much in a US gov site at the same time but I digress. Overall more information is needed and over a longer time frame to make any real conclusions.
Just because Microsoft might actually get off their collective asses for once in their lives doesn't get them a cookie in my book. You are talking about a multi billion dollar corporation that has done nothing but hinder an entire industry. There will always be competition where large sums of money are involved and Microsoft while being an extremely 'innovative' and cunning business wise they have coasted happily when it has become the path of least resistance product wise. The entanglement of these three massive companies so directly will evolve some amazing solutions across the board but thanking Microsoft for getting up for Google after they were pissing on their lawn doesn't get them any more from me then before. Microsoft is like a world heavy weight boxing champion that won't get off their chair to dance in the ring, sure they win but they put on a really shitty event. Now Google comes along and they finally have to get off the chair to connect a punch and we all become enthralled but we are supposed to thank a boxer for boxing? I don't think so.
So if sugar is so insignificant why is the US gov trying to impeede it just to have a treaty signed? Why would the US take any of these measures when it's usually only the vilan who stoops to these actions in the Hollywood movies?
It has gotten to the point that the only way for you to keep your useless patents is to pay other people for their useless patents, that's why. Taking a picture and displaying it on the screen isn't really even related to photography after the lens processes the data, the system has already enumerated the data and formatted it as an image at that point, plotting data points representing color on a Cartesian plane was never revolutionary or clever it was the whole point from day one. Just because you display the image before committing it to long term storage does not make a patent. In the long run you can't blame Kodak because everyone has these patent junk bonds, it's like a gold rush every one knows they want it but in the long run it all gets taken away from you(see 1933). Eventually they will get to the point that because of one useless patent / troll they will have to give up their own, when that happens they will approach things differently but for now they do it because everyone else does it.
This useless debate of adding up all those numbers and saying well watching more than 8 days of HD video or downloading X + 1 iso's / torrents is "more than enough". This idea of downloading is still young and the only reference you have to "more than enough" is the imaginary wall set up by a company. We have by no means hit any particular technological wall in terms of connectivity. The networks of today will give way to the networks of tomorrow but telling people today they don't need or shouldn't want is just stunting its growth. I should be able to stream all my TV or video via my internet connection because well shit it's just another wire providing me what I want and debates like the one you present just comes up with justification for not taking that step claiming "indulgence". I want to be able to by pass my cable / satellite provider completely, I want to be able to watch and broadcast, I want to immerse my self into terabytes of random data. Maybe if I do it others will join, maybe not but why do you paint this imaginary wall with your words saying there is no need or saying we may drain the well when in this case there is no water to draw. In the next decade these networks will be orders of magnitude more than what they are today and even today they are only gently used why not start getting our feet wet, why not, why not...
And here you are casting the possibilities into a shadowed room. Don't get me wrong it is not you personally I am unhappy with it is the same old argument that just brings us back to "640K is all you will ever need" (whether he said it or not).
So if you ever open up a restaurant that serves food that does not quench hunger and beverages that do not quench thirst then you will no longer have purpose and they will truly eat you out of business.
Having Google in China is not really about advertising as much as a political tool to the Chinese. They see the rest of the world depending on Google for relevant and accurate search results so the Chinese government gives them Google search but they obscure the results, as a result the people believe they are on equal footing with everyone else. The Chinese people aren't really stupid they know 'big brother' is watching over most of their stuff but having a large presence as Google they can feel a tie to the "Western World", little do they know....
The only reason Ethernet is such a pain to route around the house is that you are doing it aftermarket. A high percentage of new houses have options to run conduit / Ethernet into the walls and outlets in each room and a central area where they all meet (basement usually). I would rather have one 54G router taking VNC / Remote applications to control each endpoint (tv set) then trying to make some retarded monstrosity of incapable WIFI type HD connections to each set. At the end of the day Intel will introduce the 1.0 spec and it won't be usable till 2.0 and won't be able to watch TV, surf and transfer files via LAN till 4.0. The interference will be nasty as well as overlap the same way as each person is sold a WIFI router and they leave it on the default channel 6 with the router manufacturer as the ESSID.
It's all buzz, for the people who want real HD and will pay for it they will likely pay to have conduit and Cat6 installed once then deal with crappy reception and going back to the day of changing wires for ugly antennas.
The only difference is the sales guy is going to sell you Monster Air(TM) to fill the room which is 1000% "More"(TM) so you get the true quality you deserve!
Black hats are notorious for being paranoid when it comes to "sharing". Why would any of them even bother when they could just as easily set up multiple VM's with different OS's and different anti virus solutions and test them out in close to real time? How can they trust that these sites won't rat them out? How can they trust a similar service isn't set up as a honey pot for this very reason? It might scare Jane and Jon Q Public but in reality it's not going to make much of a difference overall. Why should someone trust the guy on the other end of the Internet that they won't expose them and their little virus baby to the big bad corporate overlords?

It is not about merely watching something without their permission we have already nailed that down.
