  1. Re:It's deserved on Hard Drive Revenue About To Take a Double-Digit Dip · · Score: 1

    You say that as if the company has feelings. The company didn't enjoy anything, and will feel no pain when they collapse.

    I thought companies were people. What is a person without feelings?

  2. Re:Sen. Wyden. on Net Neutrality Bill Aimed At ISP Data Caps Introduced In US Senate · · Score: 1

    Only in the strangest of cases (Texahoma) will an individual transaction cross state lines.

    The bill defines an ISP as "an Internet service provider that imposes a data cap on consumers of the provider" I believe that would include AT&T, Verizon, and the like that have data caps on mobile internet service.

    But that is how the music industry has operated (at least before the internet has lead to the expansion of self-published music) for decades. Music labels would risk lots of money to sign a band, record an album, make and distribute CDs/tapes/8-tracks/records on the hope that people would buy it. Some albums would become crazy popular and make millions for the albums, others would flop and the label would lose money. The profit from the hits more than of-set the losses of the flops and the label would make money (at least the ones that had a good ear for selecting bands and/or were lucky). Sure the radio helped, not only to promote music and encourage album sales, but the radio pays a fee to the label every time the song is played. But some songs suck, DJs don't want to play them and no one calls in and requests them. The label may is unable to recover the costs of producing the album.

  5. Re:Three hardware changes? on Ubisoft Has Windows-Style Hardware-Based DRM For Games · · Score: 1

    I call bullshit.

    No, I have seen it too. I tried to virtualize a laptop (VMware has a really nifty tool to do this), but after booting the image in in the VM Windows thew a fit and would not let me log in without activating, again. Calling MS was pointless; it is a completely automated system.

    "Should have had that special combustible backup tape."

    Or just encrypted the data before sending people's data in the mail. I have always heard to not send cash in the mail for this reason.

    Hand-made Web Server, Built From 200 TTL Chips - Mon Jun 6 06:41:52 2005

    ps writes "Bill Buzbee has constructed a hand-made CPU, complete with hardware address translation, memory mapped I/O, and DMA, out of 200 74-series TTL chips wired together with thousands of individually wrapped wires. By using a port of Adam Dunkels' uIP TCP/IP stack to the Magic-1, it currently serves up live web pages at an amazing speed of 3 MHz. See the website for photos and schematics."

  10. Re:I disagree... on VoIP 911 Emergency Service: Problems and Fixes · · Score: 1

    You are correct, 911 calls can be made from a landline, ever without service. I use VOIP and have one phone thats still on the landline just for 911 calling (should there be a power outage or a frined that needs to call 911).
