Microsoft's iPod-Killer Ha yea, I bet a whole bunch of Mac owners are gonna swap their iPod's for a Microsoft "Portable Media Centers".
These don't really seem like competitors to the small, sheik, audio-only iPods. They seem like competitors to the previous Lyra Audio/Video Jukebox, and the like.
At -100C you could probably keep your 3GHz PC up at around the 14GHz area I take it you didn't read the article. The finns got a 2 ghz thunderbird to 3 ghz, and their 3.2 ghz p4 up to 4.4 ghz.
Reading that ABC News article about the RIT student who settled with the RIAA by paying them $12,000, I was truly surprised at how openly critical of the RIAA the article seemed to be, at least, for another member of Big Media, so to speak. The student went to the other NY nerd factory, RPI.;)
MCI isn't responsible, but the marketing company (it is at least a skeleton company) who routes the phone calls is responsible for the fines. All the Indian telemarketing companies route their phone calls through the internet to a US based call center. You didn't think they'd really pay for the long distance did you;)
The best way to make sure that your bills are genuine is using ones that are really unpopular. Last weekend was the first time that I saw a 200 Euro bill. And that was one and a half years after the introduction of the currency. Just the opposite. The rarest bills are also the least counterfitted. 20's (not 100's or higher) are by far the most counterfitted bill in the US. If you see 100 bill as a teller, then you are definately going to give it a close look, while 20's are so common the tellers barely even give them a glance.
this is nothing new whatsoever. yahoo.com has been doing this for years. why is anonymous data tracking so scary? do you think yahoo really cares that you are searching "marry me buffy"?

I fully agree. When I took AP computer science in 1997-1998 it was in Pascal (ha!). I remember going to a RIT info session and saying that I was taking AP comp. sci in pascal and the guy laughed.
However its quite apparent that the language does not make the course. Even though I haven't used pascal since that lowly course, I've used the concepts of abstract data structs, and I haven't had to tax my programming mind until my junior year in College. It all was review in a different language (c++ and some java for those who are counting). And for all those arguments on c++ or java being better, I believe that you most likely prefer the one that you started on (c++ rules!!)

How terribly interesting.... o_O
Oh sure. Whats next?
Legitimate uses for Mp3s?
The Creator didn't really know what frogs tasted like, so he made them taste like chicken.

how do you clean up a pile of shit, without first dirty-ing your hands?
lets hope that wireless power is next ;)
If your competitor is giving their product away for free, then how can microsoft drive them out of business?

They could still bleach a larger denomination bill, cut it down to size, and print it with the smaller denomination. The problem still exists.
;).
Hey you're right. Althought that could render the counterfiting business unprofitable by changing 20's into 1's
Looks like apple is finally just starting to catch up with Microsoft with their addition of solitare to the iPod.
;)
