Because people who don't update their software are a huge majority, they are also not the most tech savvy, thus more likely to fall for internet banking scams, which would be the main application for this flaw.
Just because you & I have fully patched up systems, doesn't mean everyone else has.
550W for the SLI? So basically you need an internal cumbustion engine to run your computer now?! If it's a cold winter & these things sell well, expect many a blackout...
Which is interestingly correlated to a cat's chance in hell have been gradulaly improving for the past month.
Rumours that the cat is actually in possesion of DN:Forever are unsubstanciated.
Right, this is the problem with abstinence only campaigns... Imagine your life is shit & you've got the high prospect of dying an early life or you have starvating as a real & pressing problem, I think one of your only joys in life would be fucking. I'll be honest, it'd be the only thing I''d enjoy. You should not take that last thing away from them. Comdoms work. People get scared when they see their best mate die a slow horrible death, the sort of thing which makes you accept wearing a johnny.
Apparently the Lemmiwinks episode was canned because it was awful. Which means it must have REALLY sucked, what with the latest series being by and large AWFUL, except Good Times With Weapons, which made me laugh so much I made my girlfriend wet her self...
Already we are seeing smartphones with very severe copy protection systems, where some new models (sorry, can't be more forthcoming on details) won't play MP3s, or refuse to copy any sort of file type back to the computer, including BMP files.
This would be a great way of locking in content to one device only, where individual songs are brought on your mobile & then can't moved anywhere else. Already in the UK we have OD2 (on the o2 network), where you can download songs to your phone, only for more money & lower quality than iTunes et al.
The media giants want this, so they can sell us the same thing, over and over again, for each of our media playing devices, so this'll be heavily subsidised & will do very well, thank you very much...
The Swedish guy who designed this software has a very anti-monopoly attitude, he sees the (firstly with Kazaa) music industry, and now the telephone industry as sectors which no longer operate in the interests of their customers, so he comes along to destroy them. He couldn't say this so complicitly with Kazaa, but he has been shouting from the rooftops (well, The Economist) about taking down the telecoms and who are we to say that is a bad thing?
Yes, he made Kazaa, yes it sucked, but he might actually be on our side, atleast for now (until he gets rich atleast).
I read in The Economist recently about this & the bloke who came up with the idea said there's no need for spyware, as there is actually a way to make ligitimate money out of this thing. There was an air of regret about loading Kazaa with spyware & a desire not to repeat the same folly.
My girlfriend & I run an internet sex shop, so we use our PDAs to carry around our website, pictures of our products & our catalouge, this we can show to our friends & random people we meet who we think might be interested. Having all the prices with us all the time; cost & retail, proves indispensible.
Maybe a 'smartphone' would have done the trick, having a nice big screen on the Palm T3 is valueable too.
Wow, now we can buy old Beatles records, 'remastered' into 5.1, when they were origionally mono. Just like those 'remastered' CDs with terrible sterio mixing.
Not like music should be left as the artist intended or anything; there's a profit to be made!
People don't expect to own their video rentals, or their on demand films over digital cable/satellie, this is just an extension of such services. Couple of quid per play, people seem to like that.
OK, so ignoring the DRM & battery "limitations", if there was a model which'd play standard DIVX/XVID files I'd love one! With my PDA I can get a couple of South Park episodes on it, but I want more!
Things I'd use it for: 1) I spend a few hours a week on a train, films, maybe not, but South Park/whatever would entertain. 2) Taking films to my lady's/friend's house, then plug into TV, sharing the love! 3) Cool geek toy, you know you want it...
OK, this isn't the (un)Creative device, but there IS a market. Imagine a PDA with a HD, something like that...

Yes, but will it Linux?

Maybe they just don't bother giving an actual excuse, they needn't, they don't care. They just do.

I wonder how this does for their Karmakarmakarmakarmakarma ChameEEEeleon Appologies to Boy George...
What, this is suprising? People using new communications methods to advetise to the public? What on Earth is the world coming to.
Oh well, I'll still with my text spamed mobile. And those phonecalls I get, asking me to upgrade my phone. Oh.

Ah, oral talents aren't mentioned in favoured girlfriend characteristics poll, is this because /. goes down for us instead? The big slut.
I'll get my coat...
