Why it is the responsibility of software, hardware, etc to enforce the DRM? Are the car manufactures required to implement speed controls so you do not break the speed limit? I really hate that Microsoft is trying to enforce the DRM - why is it there responsibility to do it? If Microsoft is required to implement the DRM so Microsoft can provide a DVD decoder for the movie then Microsoft should say fine we will not include your decoder - if the user wants to play your company's DVD on our software OS you should provide your own DVD player/decoder (BTW: Microsoft is not responsible if through some patch or update your software no longer works). From Microsoft point of view I would be pissed at the DVD company rather than Microsoft.
I just do not see why it DRM is trying to force hardware and software developers to be the police. Do they get extra pay every time some tries to break the DRM?
I know a few provinces in Canada have adopted or will be adopting a system like this. Ontario has suggested paying $500 Million for a full implmentation of such a system. I believe the UK already has a system like this. The best part is that the system should have records of all your drugs and if you had a bad reaction to a family of drugs. That way if you happen to see a different Doctor or forgot that you have bad side effects to a drug you took 20 years ago the system can catch it and flag you at the pharmacy counter. The largest cost is ensuring secure access to those various location and only providing the right access to view only certain data, update certain fields, and insert certain data. Lots of various roles and permissions. In principle it is a good idea that could reduce long term cost, provide faster responses, provide more accurate data, etc.
I have similar trouble. Then I started my own company. Worked like a dog and managed to find enough work to get by. After about 8 months I am to find a job with fair pay. I just made sure the company I created and ran was doing the things I wanted to do for a living. That 8 months gave me the experience I need to get into the field (and job) that I really wanted. My advice to any graduating computer person is if you can not find a job with-in 4 month of graduating start your own company and hit the bricks to find work. If your lucky your company will take off and you can make some really good money, the other side is you find virtually no work but you gain valuable work experience that can be used to get in the doors at a regular IT job for some company. I wish I would have started a computer company right when I got to university - I would have had 4 years of running a company experience (and IT experience) and had the education to back it up.
Actually the information get to the B button faster than the speed of light light. So if A and B where exactly the same distance from you it would appear that Button B was pressed first or at the very least at exactly the same time.
You see you can only see things at the speed of light. The whole concept is that the information can travel faster than the speed of light.
Via entanglement you can turn a light on or off (ones and zeros). A billion trillion miles away a entangled light atom will instantly change (at the exact same time) - it changes faster than the time it would require for the light to reach the entangled atom. If done right you would have a communications device that can work faster than the speed of light. For example if a guy in a space ship was flying close to the sun and was talking to you on the entangle communications device. Then the sun burns out and he yells saying the sun burnt out to you. You hear it instantly and look up - but to you the sun is still bright in the sky. Some 8 minutes later you would see the sun burn out. nothing about time travel here just information traveling at a speed faster than the speed of light.
The speed of light is fast and as far as we know it is the fastest that things can travel - but apparently quantum entanglement some how violates this speed limit. Very simple to think of it that way instead of any time base travel which is much harder (at least according to my future self).
They are basing the idea that the information would have to travel back in time to make this work. This is wrong!
Quantum entanglement theory states that what ever effects one object will have the exact same effect on the other entangled object at the exactly the same time no matter the distance between the two! Which means that the information is being communicated faster than the speed of light.
If he does this he has proven that something can travel faster than the speed of light - the communications between two quantum entangled objects.
Just because something travels faster than the speed of light does not mean that is time travel.
To conclude that communication travels back in time: An observer watching both two quantum entangled objects at an exactly the same distance from each would notice one of the quantum entangled change before the effect was done to the other one. To affect one quantum entangled object and see the effects occur on the second object at the exact same time would lead you to the conclusion that the information was transferred faster than the speed of light.
If he can accomplish this we will be able to have faster than light communications.
They are assuming that I would be using it for pirated music - sort like assuming someone is guilty before the trail.
Secondly, since I paid for the right to copy music (as it is included in the cost of the Zune) then I should be legally allowed to copy music with out the risk of being sued. IE: I would have already paid the required royalty fees. It would be interesting to see the first case using the defence that they inherited the licence agreement via the Zune and hence do not to pay the RIAA. I think the RIAA would have to go after Microsoft. The RIAA would have to go after for not purchasing enough licences the Zune customers.
Microsoft has proven that being first and best at something means nothing.
Microsoft's word beat Word Perfect.
Microsoft's Excel beat Quattro Pro.
Microsoft's XBOX introduction into the market place.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer crushed Netscape.
Microsoft has often come into the game late and used the hard lessons learned by the competition and their own market presents to dominate the area.
It often the case that someone comes into game late and is just dynamic enough to quickly takes the lead. In Microsoft's advantage is the large amounts of money they are willing to lose to gain the market share and drive the competition out of business. Then Microsoft has no issues with using there new found position to keep competition out of the market place.
The specs indicate that the walls are 16 inches thick.
The advantage is that the walls bend and you can fold it up for easy transportation into space.
I guess the guys that are complaining the 16 inches is to thin are the same guys that brag to women that their 4 inches is really 8. They lack real perception.
Like I, a guy, want to be force to watch female hygiene product commercials. Put commercials on that I actually do not mind watching or have some relevance to my life and would not mind them - IE I usually do not mind most of google's ads.
Anything that appears on my computer screen I can copy - even streaming video. It is not that hard of thing to do, even if you have to write the code yourself.
Maxthon uses a proxy.
If the China's government is smart they would release Maxthon that uses it own proxy - let the end users view censored infor. Let use Maxthon spread. Then you have a nice log of who the trouble makers are and can take them down at any point.
I for one would not trust a browser that uses a proxy to surf the internet. I think the AOL browser also routes all your internet traffic through their proxy servers.
If Google wants more income they could easily add some more enhancements to gmail (google mail) and then start charging for it. Even at $1.99 a month or $20 for the year I would gladly pay for such a useful service as gmail. I am sure tons of people would also pay a small fee for it. A free version of gmail could have a limited the mail box size and limit some for the features.
Like any drug dealer starting out you give it way for free to get everybody addicated and then you can start charging for it. It is a good business model (Doom helped kick start the freeware -> paid software trend). Google could follow a similar trend: Beta -> paid service. The potential revenue generated would be massive.
In reality your a lawyer and are paid to have the options of who pays you (The Client). The right to have an opinion is left to the intellectuals. You do not have opinions yourself. Just like a politician - they have the opinion of who ever pays them the most. I guess that is why Lawyers easy become politicians.
Why not just fund a project to build converter boxes. Convert the Digital signal that is coming into the house to an analog. To make it work nice just has it convert all the digital channels to an analog channel. That way I can still connect two or three TV set up to the cable line and not have a stupid digital cable convert box (that has a piss poor user interface) for every TV. Right now I refuse to move to Digital because I would be decreased service and pay more. I would be forced to pay extra to have a digital box for every TV. I would need two digital boxes just for my TV that can do picture in picture. All the time the TV Company wants to charge me more for each digital outlet I have. What the hell I am I paying for? When someone can invent a box that will covert all incoming digital channels to an Analog set I will buy it. I could just have the digital single come into the house and then I can choose what I do with it - what a novel idea!
I am going to start up a text based only on-line ad service. I am looking for start up captial. I am gong to call my service "Community Advertising Shopping Helper". All funds can be made out to the Acronym C.A.S.H.
The good people at "Society Helping Inept Technicians" (S.H.I.T.) is already on board!
If MS makes no money on the box why not just develop games for other boxes. As it appears the money appears to be in the ability to sell games - not the devices that runs them.
If MS just developed quality games for the most populate systems they could make tons-o-money and not lose money by restricting their game to MS designed game console.

Everything google does is 'cute' in a way that is typically another means to deleiver ads.
Much like a good TV program charges more for ads. Google is creating a mediums using them as a source of revenue via ads.
It is all about ad $.

Same here.
I remember downloading the software off a BBS (Bulletin Board System).
What a joy it was to do that trick for family and friends until the disk drive read/write head broke. Stupid $300 disk drives.
I also found one that did a similar trick for my Dot matrix printer.

The answer is: 42
It is not unsolvable, it would just take a super computer just over 7 millions years to compute.
