NVIDIA, of all companies, should know if this thing is real or not. If they filled an order for a ton of GPU's and such for Infinium, they'd have reason to believe the aptly named "Phantom" is real. Or maybe, they like everyone else here, seems to think it doesn't exist, and is taking an opportunity to publically call out Infinium and prove it.
I'm starting to think I don't belong on/. I mean, whenever I get a new girlfriend (disqualifier #1), I generally stay away from my computer for days, if not weeks, at a time (disqualifier #2).
Once again, the American legal system shows it's colors. I mean, do they think making it possible to just up and take ip's with people is EASY? As of now, this is practically infeasible, and would require a total overhaul of internet routing as we know it. Just who the hell does this judge think he is? (keeping in mind that the internet is global, not just America's toy).
This story makes me think of GRsecurity. Remember? It's dying because the developer didn't have any funding? Maybe Spamhaus caught wind of this, and is trying to avoid a similar fate.
Pardon me, but that's bullshit. No one I know would want a one-passenger car. I mean, yeah, that might be nice for the commute to and from work. But what about the weekends? How are you gonna go to a rave and take 10 people with you in that thing? I think caravans were a little 19th century.
And what about people with kids? Are they gonna come out with a "follower" model? And how exactly is one gonna haul groceries home?
This will be great for those guys who only go to the office, then home to surf the net till it's time to go to work again. But people with lives and friends are gonna keep driving multi-passenger vehicles. Especially in rural areas, where we don't have great things like cabs and subways.
Well, this could show what people value google at... or more precisely, how profitable investors think it is. Either way, I'm holding my cards. This isn't a stock I'm gonna buy. I'm not into world domination.
In one way I'm scared for how this could be used to trample privacy rights, or abused in myriad ways. On the other hand, the implications for my home media, climate control, and the like is certainly enticing.... I guess it's just a matter of who makes it, and what it's made/marketed for....
You find a file, supposedly MS word. On a P2P network (let's just spontaneously forget all the worms, trojans, and malware that spread over these things). You don't do any research as to whether or not MS *actually* released *anything* of that nature (or even if something like it is in development).
You obviously decided it was a good idea to run this program. IMHO, you got what you deserved.
I always liked to think that the general computer security paradigm changed. Unfortunately, I have been proven wrong yet again.
Call me a zealot, but I think things are better off open source, doubly so in the case of codecs. I mean, it's a media encapsulation. If a codec is open, then the potential for cross-platform success is much better. Potential for profit may go down, but I'm talking innovation, not wallets.
I generally think it's a good thing when books get put up (legally) on the web like this. My personal view on BeOS is that it's more of a hobby OS than a production one, but a book that details the workings of a complex system is useful. After all, maybe it'll help form the basis of a new, advanced FS.
This sounds like an argument, with the potential to become a huge debacle, over something that is poorly understood by modern standards. Yeah, IF a bomb of the stuff could be built, it'd be a really effective bomb. But that's like saying if we could make another sun, we'd have lots of light. Maybe it's possible, but I'd bet my chips on not. At least under present tech.

Damn... Just when I get my +5 sword diamond bladed, they make a better diamond... or rather, carbon thingy

I'll be damned... Thank you. That actually made some sense out of this idea.
I never said anything about laws or mandates. I was talking voluntary consumer adoption.
And for the record, I'm sure your Corolla isn't "Excursion/H2/Semi proof" either.

Wow. At least we know their intel gathering stuff works.... It just can't tell reality from fantasy.

The litigation wars continue. I'm just curious as to how Kodak decided that litigation against sun was a good idea.
