  1. Re:Last hope for the independents on Peter Gabriel: Digital Music Downloading's Future · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's what's nice about things like Submerge

  5. Re:Face It. on Ted Turner's Beef With Big Media · · Score: 1

    CPUs (such as intel's x86 series) with built-in string-copying operations

    ?
    how does the processor know what kind of string it is?

    for that matter, the only relevant instruction i saw was OUTS and that only writes to i/o ports.

    are you sure you aren't making this up?

    "Ten-pound vouchers purchased from a teller in the bank could be redeemed at an electronic box outside. A year later several British banks installed similar devices using prepurchased cards instead of vouchers. One drawback: The machines kept the card after each use.

    there are other good reasons not to be able to do that.

    neglect could easily cause that purchase to become a health hazard, even if you don't plan on building a bomb.
