Agreed, I _was_ going to buy that game. Now, I'll have to wait for the cracked version to come out. Maybe I'll buy the game then if the product is good.
I wonder why don't they put those datacenter in the south of Canada. Electricity is cheap there (there are a lot of aluminium smelters) and Internet connectivity is pretty good too.
This article is misleading. It's not illegal in Canada to copy music for personnal use since 1998. Shame on this journal for implying otherwise. Selling copy of copyrighted work is illegal, but still, filesharing do not fall into this category.
Before the Copyright Act was amended in 1998, copying any sound recording for almost any purpose infringed copyright, although, in practice, the prohibition was largely unenforceable. The amendment to the Act legalized private copying of sound recordings of musical works onto audio recording media - i.e., the copying of pre-recorded music for the private use of the person who makes the copy. In addition, the amendment made provision for the imposition of a levy on blank audio recording media to compensate authors, performers and makers who own copyright in eligible sound recordings being copied for private use.
At which point, you would find out that the majority of guns in the U.S. are not owned by the military. I personally know a few dozen hunters with larger arsenals each than most police precincts.
At which point, you would find out that gun ownership par citizen is higher in Canada. And that canadians are sharp shooter because they hunt a lot.
Once a space elevator is in place, I think the main cost would be energy and then safety/mechanical inspection. Both would cost far less compare to a space shuttle. The design of a "lifter" would be far simpler than the design of the million components space shuttle, hence much simpler to repair and inspect. It would also suffer less from the stress of the launch.
I don't see how, once build, a space elevator could cost more than a space shuttle.
It would be much more efficient to send a payload to space using a space elevator compare to a rocket. Simply because a traditional rocket launch is mostly a giant fireworks. You get a lot of noise and a lot of heat but not much uplift power. With a space elevator we would have almost no lost of energy, all the energy would be converted to gravitational potential energy.
You should not use Flops to estimate code breaking time. Flops mean FLoating point Operation Per Second. Code breaking is mostly done using integer calculation, so you should estimate a timeframe of completion using integer operation per second with something like the Dhrystone benchmark.
You can also use ftp to transfert files between two servers. You have to open control connection to both server and then, with the right commands, you can open a data connection between the two servers.
I think ftp is a great protocol.
I don't see why anyone would think this tax would be a good idea. After all, if a compagny thinks that music downloaded from online store are going to get rip, why don't they just raise the price? Plus, how do you distribute fairly the amount of money raised by the tax? IMHO, the song that get downloaded the most get the largest piece of the pie. From my point of view, it seems the same as raising the price tag for a song.

IMHO, this is only another reason to quit this company.
Every day should be data privacy day...
If your DNS results are not clean, you can always run your own DNS server. With a Linux Box, it's quite easy.
What are the new trends?
I wouldn't mind to get up to turn on the TV.
Still, Windows Vista has much more features than WinXP
Yes, off course. Standard plug and voltage would be much better. Especially for laptops...

This is basically how Steam work, but you still get securom with a Steam install. This is insane!

I totally agree with you, except that I would like to be the King of All and Everything!

It's called night, man!
All welcome our new robotic cannon overlord!
Idiocracy is inevitable. D-:
30 Watt of power, not 30 kilowatt. RTFA!

Is the US still chasing commies ?

Oh well, at least the thought police is not after the guy.
