However, the software is only as good as the programmer...and since last time I checked, we (here on/.) are mainly imperfect humans, with a mix of trolls, bots and others. So...three "is" room for error if we program a computer to fix itself...

It IS a simple device, but as these books point out, it can do a whole lot more that the normal iPod user WOULD NOT know about. It's not that people are stupid and need a book to run it. These are just ways to increase the functionality of your iPod.
Never say never, my friend. If it's a cost-effective solution to my networking needs, especially if I'm a small business and don't want to pay high costs (even though I trust Cisco with their products), I'm going to consider it an option. True, enterprises may NOT want it, and good for them because they have a lot at stake to waste time with something unreliable...but then again...who said it was unreliable?
Just because the idea is old doesn't mean it's not worthy to post. My guess is that with time and technology, SkyWeb has more to offer now in rational ideas and concepts behind their mode of transportation, rather than mere dreams of what could be six or seven years down the road.
The drives also will include LightScribe technology, a labeling solution developed by HP that allows silk-screen quality text and graphics to be burned directly onto LightScribe-enabled Blu-ray Discs using the same laser that burns to the data side of the disc.
I use my phone for making phone calls, not watching movies. How many people do YOU know who need "multi-media applications" on a phone? Not trying to be a troll hree, but seriously, is it a practical application of technology, or a mere technology/fashon fad? Someone please convince me (Joe Schmoe) why I need it.
The trade group said the program would be available for the Windows computer operating system on a special Web site established to educate consumers about copyrights.
Don't let the same people who brought us Cinderella II: Now it's just for 2 year olds, Little Mermaid II: The Sea Shells got Bigger and the Story got Dumber, Lion King 1 1/2: The Pointless Version, and Pocohontas II: We Just Can't Take Historical Innacuracy with a Native American Pamela Anderson Clone Far Enough make "Toy Story 3".
Heck, maybe this is a good tactic for the MPAA to curb piracy!:-D
In the December 2k2 PC World mag (page 88), they had a preview of AOPEN's AX4B-533 Tube board. Aparently, the sound card had an integrated vacuum tube for quality sound, and it's supposed to be great, but I never bought one myself. Has anybody else?
At home, I still have a regular phone line because I sometimes need to send faxes. At the office, we actually don't have a land phone line. We use Skype mostly, and mobile phones to receive calls from people not on Skype.
What about 911? How do you dial that without a landline?
I find that even music purchased off the street is better than what the industry sells on CD's in major stores. I have a few fellow friends/artists that do the same thing, and they're pretty popular locally.
Even more so, I find that a lot of artsis, be it emerging, popular, or total loser, are putting up free music on the web(i.e. Delerium gave "After All" away for free on mp3.com). I find it an incentive to buy. If they're willing to push one out for us, the consumer, to listen to without obligation, I'd be more inclined to buy. I'd rather do that then buy a crappy CD full of music I don't care to listen to.
...if your key is asdf - the attack is based on a dictionary. This weakness relies on human nature after all.
So, write a generator to make a random key so that it's not just ASDF...just make sure to memorize it...ya know, just in case......or, if you're like my not-so-bright friend, write it on a stickynote and leave it in a book labeled "passwords & stuff"...

Eh, I think it'd be more fun to play chess with Deep Blue. Heck, how fast do you think Deep Blue could solve it?

So, if I understand what you're saying, it's like apples and lemons...they're both fruit, but have different tastes, as it is with the iPod vs. MyFi.
Oh, the humor!
Perhaps, but the fact of five million people switching to Firefox over Internet Explorer, I don't think it's gonna be that big of a deal.
Ghostbusters!
That's what I tried to tell my boss about Windows 3.1, but, oh well...

Perhaps when all is said and done, the transit routes will be connected to each other, in the same sense of the "world-wide web" and computers.
I believe Sanford is who you are refering to.

Finally, the book closes with an appendix that gives more typical recipe-card style listings of all the design patterns discussed throughout the text.
What? Is that supposed to be some sort of witch's brew?
