Can't see it - digital picture frame: £130 ($260) (btw. that's cheap - the ones in stores are double that.. I saw one for over £500 just the other day). You're shopping in the wrong places (£55) then, because they are definitely cheaper than that elsewhere. Even this lot (£40) can do better!
FTA: Karen Evans, the federal government's chief information officer, told a House information policy subcommittee... "While we recognize that technologies that are improperly implemented introduce increased risk, we recommend any potential changes to the statute be technology-neutral,"
Which kinda shoots down my earlier cynical FUD suggestion....in fact everything I've said sofar. I hang my head in shame at missing the key point of the article, and I shall go and start writing for the Daily Mail, where I belong.
One further wonders if this is an attempt to create FUD about P2P as a whole, and which organisations which are quite snug with the government might be interested in promoting this. But I'm probably just being too cynical now.
...filesharing is the number 1 threat of leaking sensitive information. Damn, and I wasted all that money on memory sticks, FTP servers, back doors, and searching busses, taxis and trains trying to get my hands on secret data.
It's the sort of thing that my mum would use. My parents have had a digital camera for ages, but when it comes time to get them off the camera, guess who they call. As far as I know, they hardly ever look at or display their pictures 'cus it would involve huddling around a PC, which they barely know how to use (or want to). I always though that digital picture frames would be good for them and people like them.
I could say more, but my parents have just got back from Antigua, and I have some photos to burn!
Literature has Steven King but it also has William Shakespeare. Ooh, flamebait! Not everything Stephen King wrote was terrible...or are you suggesting Shakespeare was rubbish (not that I'm a fan myself).
"If you can prevent the printer's serial # from being tied to your identity"
It won't help if they track you down for some crime (I dunno, sending a ransom note, or printing up a series of Hex characters), and find the printer in your home!
Very true. I would be interesting to know how this is achieved though, since both reducing temperature and increasing pressure will take energy to achieve, as, I assume will the initial extraction process. I will be interesting to see, assuming that it can be done at all, what effect this will have on fuel efficiency (cf. the effect of air conditioning - which relies on compressing fluids to extract heat - on fuel efficiency). Will the benefits of extracting and storing the carbon offset the cost of doing it?
Why when I was young all we got was a PDP-11 with a card puncher with cards that we had to give to the office boy who'd get on his bike, take to the cards and the one card reader the company had to the other office where they'd read them in reply to the message and the give the cards with the replay, and the reader back to the boy who'd bring the reply back to our office!

If the action had been taken in a UK court, which actually has juristiction over a UK company, I'm sure they would have. That's what is most obsecene about this whole affair is that some US court somehow imagines that it has juristiction, when even Lionel Hutz knows that that is not the case

I'm on Demon too. I can see the article, including the thumbnail image, but if I click on the image, I get the blocked error message.
You're all wrong! It's a well known and established fact that the galaxy is sixteen thousand light years thick.
Actually, on closer inspection, you didn't even search amazon properly (£42.50 +)
It's true that you can get prints for a good price, but I disagree that they are entirely worthless.
To be fair, you are quite correct.

Good job then that the article later clarifies that it's referring to carbon dioxide !
Not that that is gonna be easy to keep at the right temperature either.

True, but sometimes They don't!
Don't panic, it'll all be queued on a server somewhere, waiting for retry ;)
Hmm, missed an opportunity then. Okay, here goes

I think it might be real. See this search for more matches.
And if that doesn't convince you, then the first match, this reliable source, might.

Just how easy is it to walk with a vibrator in?
How fast does the earth rotate? How fast do clouds move? How many butterflies are flapping their wings on the other side of the planet?
