That sounded to me pretty much just like the kind of hardsuits that the Knight Sabers wore in Bubblegum Crisis. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've watched the anime.
Acually, back when Carnivore was released people didn't trust it and someone came up with a free implementation called Herbivore, that did what the FBI said the Carnivore should do.
Yeah, when I saw the headline I thought it was some rant about both applications:P
Well, I'm not sure if I'm simply uninformed or what, but I'd say today's receivers don't support MPEG4 by default. What are DIRECTV's plans on giving their consumers new receivers? Are they going to upgrade everyone or charge big bucks for HDTV?
I've been always trying to convert from Windows from Linux, and had lots of problems when doing so. Mainly, I was unable to find a distro that was easy to maintain and actually usable. You know, practical.
I tried everything from Red Hat (from 4.2 and up), Conectiva (2 and up), Mandrake (6 and up), SuSE (6.2 and up) and Gentoo (I was never able to determine the version I was using, because as soon as I finished compiling something, I had to emerge world again:P), and Debian as well.
The one I liked *the most* was Debian because it just works... well, at least that was the idea. Since there were no real distributions that worked for me (Debian did, but... hey, look at Woody and Sarge), I kept on using Windows.
Well, what's the point? I'm typing this on Ubuntu, which I've been using since january. It's exactly what I liked on Debian, plus up to date packages. Thanks Canonical.
Since Ubuntu is Debian's newer brother, it's great to see that they are coming up with different project to cover different needs, just like Debian. Debian covers the portability front (with loads of different ports working just the same way on different architectures), and Ubuntu the usability front with both KDE, Gnome and soon other ambients as well (XFCE and others).
Before people go like "Why doesn't Canonical make one cd with both KDE and Gnome?", let me put it this way: the same reason why they don't make one big DVD like Fedora. Read their FAQ;)
Not really... just a little bit more. I believe the geeks behind those robots decided they were good to go because all three robots were able to beat the "strongest" of 'em.
You do know how strong the average geek is, right? Lifting nano circuits sure is hard work!
It's obvious that the 3C Patent Group is guilty, but then... that's how things work in the western world, and such acts are protected by local governments.
I only see this as the chinese companies trying to defend their position, nothing more. They want to be competitive, even more than they already are.
Wow! Underwear too? I need to know the brand, since it resisted days of intense heat when all volcanoes around the world were spitting lava, and then intense humidity when God made that super duper rain to fill the oceans!
Plus, was it still intact when he stopped to rest at the 7th day?
Anyway, that doesn't mean creationism isn't just a theory as well. That's all we have, theories. Anyone saying evolutionism or creationism or whatever is a fact shouldn't be taken seriously.
Being fair, they also present Microsoft's solution to security problems: 'Microsoft does have one suggestion for those who cannot use the latest patches in Service Pack 2: buy a new personal computer'"
They're shooting themselves in the foot here. Open source does not require you to 'buy a new personal computer'. Oh, the market does tho, and Microsoft is there for the market, not for the consumer. That's sad.
Probably not. I've googled around a little bit and I've found out that this incident happened in 1976, when Brazil was under a fascist military dictatorship. No wonder they denied that, since they were used to denying just about anything different back then.
But if you had released the game back in the 80's or the 70's, then it would not only be banned, but the people responsible for releasing the game in Brazil would have been sacked (literally).
This is not an isolated case. Back when Windows 95 was released, Microsoft had problems in India because the timezone worldmap (when setting date & time) wouldn't highlight Kashmir as part of India. To deal with that problem, they just removed country highlighting for good.
They'll probably just release an updated version of the game without Taiwan and move along.
Exactly why I liked Event Horizon. But, in most people's point of view, the movie just plain sucked. IMO, the same would happen if they made a faithful Doom3 movie... and don't even let me get started with Half-Life2 (you have to guess pretty much everything).
And then, you find out why they have ditched the "supernatural" in favour of "some stupid virus" for the Doom movie:
"Event Horizon" is one of the worst films that I have ever seen. Very rarely has so much talent and money been squandered on such an ugly mess of a movie. The film deals with an outer space crew who is trying to retrieve a mysterious ship which is trapped deep in the outer limits. The original crew have all been killed and now this crew must find out why. Why? Why? Why? That seems to be the key question of this film. The screenplay is all over the universe. It adds elements from films like "The Exorcist", "Aliens", "The Abyss", "Apollo 13", "Jaws", and just about every other film ever produced. If one idea had been used throughout, then the film would have been admirable and watchable if nothing else. However the references to the aforementioned films make "Event Horizon" a movie that wants desperately to be good, but just does not have the goods to make that dream a reality. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
The public doesn't like the idea of "supernatural monsters from another dimension". So, we could either have a great Doom movie that ends up being a failure for the masses, or a blasphemy to all fans, but a moneymaker. You, as a hollywood director, would pick what?

Don't ask me, ask the government. They came up with that law. But I believe they break the patents not by ignoring the IP, but instead they "license" it by force, and pay royalties to get away with it.

They break the patents so government industries can produce the drugs, but only when they declare an epidemic crisis (which they might do soon, since 33% of all latin americans with HIV are brazilians).
But, anyway, they will still pay royalties to the responsible companies. The only thing they do is stand up and reject paying absurd prices to corporations that need big profits for their stockholders.
Whatever, that's not important. English is NOT my native language and in portuguese we don't use the latin expressions, we use the portuguese "fungo", plural "fungos".
Instead of bothering with grammar errors, it would be wise to use your intelligence to help Pat, maybe?

Nice way of telling me they'll be charging a premium for this one. How couldn't I see that coming ;)

What's next? Microsoft and antivirus?
Back in the MS-DOS days, they had MSAV which did exactly that. I'm not sure why they ditched it when they made Windows 95 tho.
That would effectively kill the v14gr4 spams by rendering it useless :P
...microsoft wasn't fair with themselves.
