The other option for Nintendo would have been to tack on a laptop style battery which wouldn't work for a portable game system.
Except that this: http://www.openpandora.org/ has a 4000 mAh battery yet is only slightly smaller than the original DS phat. And looks to have room for the second screen and controls if you remove the keyboard and associated hardware.
" Williams gave the example of one piracy exploit that caused more than a million reported system crashes on machines running non-genuine Windows Vista before Microsoft was able to resolve it."
Versus the two million crashes on machines running genuine Windows Vista?
If they send out an unannounced update, everyone will get the program, and they won't know the suspect from the clutter. If they know his specific computer to send the update to, they wouldn't need it in the first place.
If I recall correctly, ATI/Nvidia can't open their newest specs because of patents and deals with other companies that state they cannot release the specs to the public. The only reason the lower end cards and Intel graphics have open drivers is that the technology is old enough to either not be covered by these deals, or else they're so old that the the drivers aren't considered to be competitive trade secrets anymore.
Although this is just what I remember.
For me, it's like playing those old sim games. Do you spend limited research dollars on building 1960's style moon bases, or keep pressing on and shooting for nanotech before you move off the planet? If you can hold on long enough before colonization, you can move far more people and reach self-sufficiency much sooner.
I do seem to remember some of those sim games where waiting too long for advancement resulted in destruction. Additionally, there are many real-time-strategy games where it is advantageous to move out beyond the main base in search of more resources, as moving up the tech tree uses up more materials than are present at the main base. In addition, while the enemy knows of the main base, the hidden secondary bases allow a player to survive in the case of a huge attack.

Well, seeing as Microsoft copyrighted the word 'excel', I don't hold any trust that this will not be abused in the future. How'd you like to pay royalties every time you said 'the'?
Except that once a heatshield is used, it is no longer usable - during re-entry the heatshield is melted and blasted apart, it is there to prevent the spacecraft from suffering a similar fate. The tiled configuration utilizes reusable heat shielding material, so that the entire vessel may be reused after some minor maintenance and tile check work.
The Soyuz is entirely non-reusable, except for some components from the capsule that might be salvagable after landing, whereas the lifting body with tiles is entirely reusable. Seeing as the Russian economy is still in a bit of trouble, being able to reuse a spacecraft as opposed to building a new one every time might be advantageous.
They only move at about.5 knots, and so wouldn't make good underwater cruise missiles, nor would they be hard to track with any good system as they slowly lumber into the field of view.
I did partly RTFA, and unless I'm way off on my understanding, Microsoft is blaming their lost business on people who have little right to be blamed for what they are being blamed for. Do the programmers really need to know about the world affairs - I thought that would be the job of the marketing or PR people.
All you need to do is set a really obscure long medical word as a password - most are obscure enough and weird enough to not rendomly pop into the head of the hacker. Such as Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. And if 1337ized, this would become snazzy.
I wonder if the experimental FOLED (Flexible Organic LED) technology might contribute toward making eBooks viable - FOLEDs are basically computer screens contained in something the thickness of a sheet of paper, so a transition eBook would look and feel just like a regular old-style paper based books, except for the variable text-on-screen functions. Therefore we could have "universal books", a single volume which could conceivable contain all the works of man.
Isn't this the sort of reaction the terrorists want? The supression of facts, rights, freedoms, and individualities destroys all that makes America an American democracy, effectively destroying the nation. The reason they attack is to provide fear to the populations and cause the government to react with harsher laws and stricter governing. If we ignored the attacks, and went on with our free lives, we'd be negating the atacks, and providing no future reason to attack. And here the Bush administration goes, doing EXACTLY what the terrorists want, in the name of Homeland Security. Whoops.
I can't help but wonder if NASA might contract Scaled Composites to work on a similar vehicle to replace their X-33 crew escape vehicle for the ISS, since the SpaceShipOne bears great resemblence to the X-33, and also has proven itself to be cheap to produce. Prolly a long shot, but worth a mention.

Maybe a dual-boot system, and he normally uses Windows
Perhaps better than KDE and Emacs, but never quite as good as TWM and nano.
Also the seller's only feedback came from when he won an iPhone auction.
Too bad its not the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclea r_propulsion) , would've had a much better ability to get there, plus it would've been there 40 years ago.

Do some research on the RealID Act - passed by Congress several months ago.
It'll be portable using the Army's definition of portable - it'll fit into the back of a truck, and will be able to be carried by two fit soldiers.

Not Europa of the Jovian system, but perhaps Mimas of the Saturnian system, as we do not wish to incur rhe wrath of the Galactic Empire =P.
Not a planet, but a moon.
