Don't know. There is bound to be some wasteful pointless features like embedded high definition movie clips or 64k colour fonts that are fully rendered and shaded so they appear to be carved from various materials (granite for fixed text, teak for dropdown menus.....) that will appeal to the brainless suits to make presentations to each other with.
Meh. Just build it big. A fortress as big as china will be hard to take on even with tactical nukes as you would need to know which bit to tactically nuke. Nuke the whole thing and you will need a lot of canned food till all the crap falls out of the atmosphere.
You're ON!
I will provide that service, no problem.
I will, of course be using the standard software EULA so if the songs won't unarchive or play then I get to keep your money.
Minimum order 100,000,000 songs. Prepaid.
You will be amazed at the level of compression my secret proprietary format achieves as the whole 100,000,000+ songs arrive as a 94kb attachment.
My local council recycling plant will not take many paper things, like telephone directories, as they are 'not recyclable', and I am also forbidden to burn them.
Hooray for landfill.
I use my (PII) server to heat my celler. I get more space in the living area of the house, the fan collects some of the dust and spiders and all from the power that used to just run a heater. The samba shares are a free bonus.
1. You can't stop folk copying audio.
2. 1Mb/s of compressed is good enough for most folk.
3. Storage gets cheaper over time.
4. Profit! ( Or rather Savings! for folk who don't want to pay for music )
How much does it cost to send a blu-ray disk full of encrypted data through the snail mail?
Hopefully, it will be 'instead' rather than 'too'. Then the 'professional journalists' can get on with something they are more suited to, like drawing welfare checks.
With all the kerfuffle about tivo/torrentz/myth boxes taking out the ads, someone is going to notice that hardly anyone responds to ads by buying the crap advertised. This won't go down well with companies trying to sell junk. Soon 'brought to you by Slurm(tm)' will be just that: Your purchases of Slurm(tm) will buy you access to streams of TV programs from the Slurm(tm) server farm.
"2 minutes of TV with every family bottle!"
Heh! I am considering taking my telly off-site for a year just to see what the licensing herberts do. Is there a stream of letters? If you charge an 'administration fee' for subsequent redundant letters then this will create even more fun and games. "Dear BBC, as I pointed out 2 months ago, I have no tv. The bill for dealing with your stupid erroneous demands is now £25. Please pay up."

Just a Phone?

· Score: 1
Mass produce a phone with a vga screen, fold out extra keyboard (like nokia 6800 keys) and a proper operating system that can be configured. The 'i want a simple phone' crowd can glue the extra key panel closed when they have disabled all the fancy schmancy gadgets to prolong battery life. Old geezers can run big fonts. Spotty kids in hoodies can add even more games, ringtones and crap. Geeks can put Linux on it.

My gay mp4/camera/gadget-o-phone had a selection of crappy ringing tones so i did what any geek would do and downloaded a sample of an old fashioned ringing noise. Simple.

You are joking, right? Somebody will find a way of using all that space up, and more.
By outsourcing the public risks getting screwed while the bosses of both companies are rewarded with big bonuses.

I read it as the 25% of music consumers who do not download at all, presumably they buy cd's from play.com or whoever.
yep. I read gutenburg texts on my 7610 GayFone.
Yeah. There is a better level of zoom at groom lake secret air force thing in nevada than anywhere in the uk.
Save your sympathy. The unrebated full price is $249. That's £136 ! Try buying the same kit in the UK for that price.

I just priced the same dell 2400 here in the UK. It is £279 ($503). Wake me up when they get cheap this side of the pond.

No, he just wants to play washboard and tour with Beck.
Here in the uk they will be banned, as they will be 'dangerous'. Only military, police and criminals will have them.

Hear hear! Kudos to anyone who builds something of this complexity just for fun.
............but they could argue that it was not simultaneously offering diferent prices.
Oh! So what sort of p0rn needs a waterproof camera, then? Ewwwww!
If the taggers can get paid for what they call art, it will be art, and they will be artists.
You will have to buy a lot of rohypnol to outbreed the morons in this world.
