The burden of proof would be on Seagate. They would have to prove that Goglia had a non-disclosure/no-compete clause in his contract, or they would have to prove that WD put out a product that was designed using information Goglia gave them. This isn't as easy as it may seem at first, because competing companies are always putting out similar products, looking for the competitive edge. Hard drives all work similarily, so any new technology developed by two different companies, unless nearly identical, would be tough to prosecute, especially to a non-technical court.
Good point. Also, releasing SP2 on a "mainstream" P2P such as Kazaa would probably turn it into the crap downloads that you get off Kazaa currently with "illegal" downloads of songs: poor quality, looping, missing portions of songs, etc. SP2 would probably be riddled with bugs once Kazaa got through with it. Kazaa's just one big virus, anyway...
While this is a step in the right direction for P2P, it will be largely unnoticed because of the lack of mainstream usage of torrents.
Perhaps sometimes the Internet is used to transmit data (for example, patient records) from other hospitals. While a firewall would keep most of the trash out, perhaps the best solution would be an entirely separate system, or a "healthcare Internet". Make it COMPLETELY independent and the problems should be solved, unless someone purposefully releases a bug onto the system, and all systems should be patched and firewalled to be absolutely certain, so the bug should be restrained.
Voodoo II... how I miss that card. Those were the days... back before you had to upgrade your graphics card every 4 months. Sometimes I wish 3dfx was still around. But, alas, nVidia killed them off. Back in the day, most games were coded to take advantage of 3dfx hardware, and you didn't have to worry about whether the design group was an nVidia or ATI fan. Things were simpler then, and I enjoyed it.
Yes, competition is good. However, what kind of competition is there going to be when Microsoft throws its weight (i.e. $$$) around? That's what I'm worried about. Is Google going to be able to keep up if MS throws money at this new search technology like it has at the X-Box? Because, let's face it, the X-Box is still here because MS is still funding it. MS refuses to be beaten, and I have a feeling the "search war" is going to turn out similarly.
Wal-Mart would turn the broadband industry upside down. They'd do it cheaper than the others, and more "common" people in America would flock to the Wal-Mart name because of brand recognition. This alone would force the broadband companies to innovate.
This could also be applied to the cell phone industry.
And then we can store data in cows, and before you know it a RAID array will have turned into a pack of hot dogs.
On a serious note, I don't really know much about this, but anything that can make AI advances possible is worth the research in my opinion. Then we may actually have robots that will do what we ask without being programmed, and we'll have robot assistants and such. Just hope that what happens in I-Robot doesn't happen to us when we reach this stage.
I've read that the GBA has a chip inside of it that emulates the GBC and GB functions so that the older games can be used in the GBA. The DS will not include that chip (according to my sources).
According to what I've read around the internet, the DS will be backwards compatible with the GBA. However, older GBC and GB games will not be compatible. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
By the way, I'm getting one of these as soon as it comes out. It looks so much hotter than it did at E3.
Well, I can't comment on what other devices use MacOS, but, as far as I know PalmOS is just on PDAs and isn't really a desktop OS ported to other devices. Also, iPod (as I've been reading) doesn't even use an OS designed by Apple. Maybe that's why they were excluded.
Well, I do believe this is a Linux gadget vs. Windows gadget article. PalmOS doesn't fit into either of those two categories, therefore its exclusion. (I tried checking the article again to make sure it didn't say something to the contrary, but it seems that it has already been/.ed.)
Hahaha... people are too lazy to sit there and count votes. Also, you have to get unbiased people (not likely in an election, especially for President) and people who aren't going to "skew" the count.
Someone I know told me that someone had called him with the classic "Where's the any key?" story. He also told me about a woman who called and said "I'm pressing the foot pedal, but the computer won't turn on." Turns out the "foot pedal" was her mouse.
You'll notice [See Picture] that I have all the power switches and reset buttons in an easy to access position right on top if this system, that fifth switch over on the far right is for my monster DC fan. I'm certain that I don't need a fan half this size with all the space inside this box, but you know boys, they love their fans!
Mike Kennedy (from the article): "These kids are cutting edge. They're doing things the Army can't do yet."
What information does he have that says that the Army can't do this yet? Surely the Army doesn't give away all its secrets to this guy.
Many of the ATMs I go to now let you get money in $10 increments. Perhaps it's a security reason that they don't have smaller denominatons, or maybe they'd just need a bigger machine (that wouldn't fit in a standard ATM "hole in the wall" for lack of a better term). Actually, they might be available, but banks don't want to switch out all those expensive machines when they're working just fine.
In a perfect world, the ATM would give you any amount of cash you asked for (provided it was in your account), and it would also ask you in what monetary denominations you would like your cash in. Would you like your $25 in all $5s, or would you like two $10s and a $5, or a $20 and a $5?

This, of course, now begs the question "How many Pringles cans did they use in this setup?"

Perhaps correct spelling would be one of the possibilities?
Wait... I've got it... GeForce FX 2!

Actually, the DS is supposed to be priced lower than the PSP.
According to what I've read around the internet, the DS will be backwards compatible with the GBA. However, older GBC and GB games will not be compatible. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Be a known member of the KKK.
2. Promise to raise taxes.
3. ??? 4. Lose election.
One sure-fire way to get re-elected:
Commit adultery in the White House and claim that oral sex isn't adultery. Then ask the people at the hearing to define the word "is".
Hopefully I'll get a better description of an error than "Segmentation Fault". If there is one error I truly loathe, it is that one.

On the GameCube, I wanted the GBA player so I could play ALL the Nintendo games on this system...
He did use the Gameboy Player.

Of course, if we ever find these ETs, at the rate Congress is cutting NASA's budget, we'll never be able to meet up with them unless they come to us.
