Sigma and MediaTek make chips to decode the Content Scramble System, or CSS, which is the copy-protection system used for DVDs. Their licenses require that they sell only to other CSS-licensed companies.
The lawsuits really infuriate me, but as long as the DMCA is still around anyone who messes with CSS while tinkering is technically breakind the law, so it's not really a surprise.
My post has gotten good number of serious replies and I was kind of expecting to have something funny to read when I checked back. My comment isn't a bitter liberal "Bush Sucks" stab, it's actually a joke. (also IAA Republican) When I looked at the moderation breakdown, I saw "Flamebait", which I guess I deserve:) and "Insightful" which confuses me to no end. Nobody thinks it's funny? Sheesh tough crowd. Maybe from now on I'll just keep my mouth shut.
I knew we were going to have these by the year 3000 anyway. It'll only be a matter of time before "nappster.com" starts letting you download Lucy Lu, and other famous celebrities onto blank robots.
"Ohh, I'm so impressed by your ability to notice two things::pause:: Phillip J. Fry" .. and to anybody getting any ideas about this, you people are just sick. Relationships between people and robots are just plain immoral.
I agree that big media companies kill competition but it's not just the media. You don't have to watch TV or listen to the radio thanks to the internet. These companies are huge because people choose to watch them and other companies choose to advertise on them. It's simple free market economy. Every week on slashdot we have the same argument about Microsoft, the MPAA, the RIAA, or whoever the corporate villan of the hour is. The government may indeed have to step in and do something, but I really wish I lived in a world where enough individual people cared enough about making it better to actually do something... insted of people like me who just post about it online.
I suppose I could start an activist group or something... maybe someday, but for now I'm just going to keep karma whoring.
Knauss stayed on until near the end of the iPod's development, but quit shortly before it was released because he had no confidence it would be a success.
He must have read all the slashdot comments saying it would fail. Yet another way slashdot can ruin your career.

As a college student I order Dominos from my cell phone all the time and it's never been a problem. Friends from out of state do the same thing. If the Boston area Dominos locations had a policy like that they would seriously lose about 80% of their business.
Hmm, and since there's no way to check, I guess you could say "per location" too. Bring your friends from one "Office Depot" to the next until it's all gone. Hopefully you'll be done in time to buy them lunch and everyone will be happy.
For us New Englanders, where is this place in New Hampshire? I checked the Office Depot store locator only to find the closest one is over 150 Miles away from my Eastern Massachusetts home in "POUGHKEEPSIE NY". That's a real hike for one electronic per day. I'd love to take a trip up to NH to regain my basement, closet and desk space.
Watch out, you could get in trouble if you broadcast into the car of someone working for the RIAA. Since you probably aren't paying royalties on pirate radio, insted of suing you by IP address, they'll try to sue you by your license plate number.
MSN was famous for this. It is probably a coincidence since I doubt they'd dare do it again, but a few years ago Microsoft was accused of intentionally blocking certian linux websites from search results.
Either way, my next door neighbors are in big touble. I use their wi-fi to get all my pr0n, so technically they've publicly broadcasted things far worse than the Howard Stern show.
It depends how you read it. I think what the article means is...
"What's in those messages could help (the jury) determine whether the sex was consensual or whether Bryant is guilty of rape as charged."
So yes, the jury does want to find out if he "ACTUALLY IS GUILTY".
We don't need another one of these. There are just too many ways to meet people online and not enough people to populate them. I predict about 100 guys and 8 girls from my area will join this, and I will never be on the same website as any of the girls. I will realize this after two weeks and stop using the program.
What we *do* need is people who are serious about meeting other people to carry active RFID tags linked to a database listing their interests. The receiving device could have a function that makes it beep when it finds a girl who is looking for an overweight coder who lives in his parents basement. Also, ex-boyfriends could add warnings to the database like "She's nuts, run for your life" that could trigger an alarm. I just got bored with wardriving and need a new hobby. I don't see this ever getting old.
I would guess that less than 1/3 of the people who buy these machines actually need them and the rest are talked into buying them by Best Buy salespeople.
Like my neighbors who were talked into spending $200 on a wireless G access point and 2 USB network cards so that they can check email from both of their computers.
Everyone I know who complains that their computer is too slow and that they 'need' a new one is looking at these really fast machine when all they really need to do is run ad-aware.
Cell phones have become the piece of technology that everyone wants to show their friends now. A lot of people even use them as a replacement for their watches. There may be a market for cell phone TV's, but I can't see anybody buying this.

If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach a man to phish, he will steal your money, and buy enough fish to eat for life.

Actually if I had a stroke I'd stay away from Bush and hope that stem cells could help repair the damage it had done.

No wonder spam is getting even more out of control. At only 4 carbs it's Atkin's friendly.
