Does the US market really matter with this sort of product ? I mean, the bleeding edge users are in Europe and Asia, Asia moreso. The US can settle for the dross lowest common denominator products.
Don't assume he was targetting nefarious hackers. That advert would work quite well if selling the info to a software vendor looking to make money selling protection from it.
"The images are in colour, and can broadcast anything that can be shown on a regular flat screen monitor or TV, although with a slightly lower quality. These could be short film clips or flash animations like those found on the internet."
As far as I know there is no epaper available to the public today, so there has not been a crap version of the technology for early adopters.
I think I'll wait for 2G epaper, thanks.
Bedsides, this sounds like just an advert delivery device, not a replacememnt for paper.
What I want is my own epaper I can fold and put in my pocket, I want to download documents to it, be that news, journals, blogs, novels, catalogues, whatever.
I don't want a replacement for tv, I want the new book.
Certainly, when I visited Dallas a few years ago, it didn't seem possible to even walk without breaking traffic laws.
That said, perhaps there is crap public transport because people didn't use it, because they have cars.
*that said*, govenments don;t want efficient public transport, they want people to buy cars, and all the thing cars needs, and to upgrade regularly. in short, public transport does not consume enough resources.
If commercial entities can't use bt to make money, does it really matter ?
Many non-profits use it.
bt does not need to be p2p either, any software distribution setup could use it to update local mirrors, or to provide fault tollerance and load balancing.
The Apple crowd can pay an accountant, they like spending money, it makes them feel special.
The Linux deciples can use pen and paper, they like wading through documentation and doing things the hard way, it makes them feel special.
I mean it's outrageous that the govenment only support the massive majority, what about PocketPC, Palms, smartphones, speak'n'spell users, myfirstlaptop users, all sidelined!!
Any serious gamer will take an unhealthy interest in game machine performance, and therefore is not going to add layers of software tech which *will* slow performace and *may* not actually work.
this is product for linux users who want to play games, not for gamers who want to use linux.
If you want to play games get xp.
I'm not saying this is a good situation, but until games are developed for portability, linux users will mostly have old shit games to play.
I for one do not care enough about which OS has the biggest halo, but linux is not for gaming and it embarressing when people suggest otherwise.
Anyone who really want to play decent games and run linux, should dual boot xp, hell, they don't even have to tell anyone.
The Handmaid's Tale is set in the futuristic Republic of Gilead. Sometime in the future, conservative Christians take control of the United States and establish a dictatorship.
It makes me so angry when govenments censor games.
At 35 I can marry, have weird sex (if I choose), have kids, get into debt, take mind altering alcohol, pay taxes, watch contact sport (if i choose), watch horror films, read books and look at all manner of art.
I can make decisions, and am held resposible for my actions, it is assumed I know right from wrong.
Yet, the Australian government thinks I need my computer games censored.
The classification guidelines are supposed to allow me to make an informed choice, not to remove choice.
The situation sucks, I just hope it gets better as gamers get older.
The payload is potentially troublesome. It is triggered on any day after August 31, 1998 when closing an infected spreadsheet. When triggered, it picks a worksheet but the active one and loops a thousand times to randomly select used cell that contains numeric value. With 1% chance, it decreases or increases the cell value within 5%.
Although this virus is not infectious in MS Excel 97 spreadsheet files, the payload routine is still called while closing an infected file.

if not it's as wasteful as you suggest.
You love Google, how sad is that?
It's a company, which has some neat products, it's enjoying a good market position.
Love, no I don't think so.

This report is irrelevant and should be ignored.

BF2 doesn't.
These items have to be given by other players.
I guess BF2 isn't the sort of FPS you mean though.
You mean non-collaborative fps like Doom or similar.
Agreed.

This looks great, I'd use it.
And just because some people prefer keyboard shortcuts, doesn't mean Fold'n'Drop can't work for others.
I use shortcuts too, but not exclusively.

"Apparently the attacker about crapped his drawers..."
Oh, and how do we know he nearly crapped his draws ?
Sound like bullshit to me.
erm, querty keyboards.
Just becuase something is old, loved and usable, does not make it necessarily best.
I doubt many geeks can build evivilent system and sell them at the academic prices Dell offer.
Factor in the 5 year extended warranty and bundle some software, and really your wasting money spending time trying to compete.
Besides, building computers is manual labour, I have better things to do with my time, and my boss agrees.

Persoanlly I don't want my service event driven, I'd prefer it be gold old fashioned interupt driven.
If you feel there should be a button to call for service, your getting shit service.
By installing a button, you may be masking the problem.
Sooner or later, you will press that button and the service will still not arrive, how will you feel then ?
If you have great service, you can fix bad food, if you have bad service, you can ruin great food.
ahh, Telix, bi directional transfers, ansi, 0day warez.

I work with a big publisher who got infected with a virus which altered random cells in excel sheets, by a small percent (or something similar).
hellish.
