You're digging out Ahonen from his grave? The guy who predicted the iPhone's demise in 2010? The guy who is on a personal rampage against his former employer, Nokia? What's next? Stallman reviewing Angry Birds for iPad?
I guess everything goes as long as it shows Microsoft in a bad light.
We've had this discussion some time ago.. and from what I remember it came out that the procedural creation of "atoms" is kinda powerful and scalable, but will inherently not allow any kind of collision detection and/or animation.
so basically, yes, this can be used to create a very detailed static world.
yeah, sometimes i think about giving up, just stop to argue. no more "where is my privacy?" no more "do my actions get monitored?". such things just make me weak, sometimes I really think that I will just lay back, accept microsofts way and be what they call a good user.
They may monitor my actions, I don't care, I got nothing to hide. They may DRM the shit out of my PC, I don't care, I have the money to get my music legally.
In return I get an all in one solutions. I don't have to care about, just use it. And if I stick to M$ rules, the usability is going to be great. Just think about the smartphone/tabletPC/workstation connectivity. May this is a revolution in computing.
But somehow thinking like that feels like selling your sould to the devil. So what, Dr. Faust had a nice life too...
So, what do you think is getting a nice user life by giving up your freedom an option?
This is kinda an example how CD protection is going to fail, because now ppl don't have to inform themselves which CDs are nonfunctional, just look out for the BMG logo and you'll know.
Since BMG is a huge company they won't crash and burn because of this, but I'm sure they'll get their scars, and if not BMG itself maybe other labels/publishers will learn from this lesson.
So, go protection go! Let's see how the sales go down...
"I hate Passport" "I hate XP" "I want something new"
Everybody agrees with him.
What would be if he said: "I hate Plan 9" "I hate Linux" "I want something new" Flame war time!
Maybe if some people would concetrate on how to deploy certain products and apply certain solutions, they wouldn't be so narrow minded. Now mod me down as a troll, just because there is no "-1, MS friendly" button.
Well, I think it's good to do some hardware hacking, like TiVo modding and whatnot. Using opensource software instead of using their expensive counterparts is also a nice thing to do.
But, excuse me, what is this fucking thing about?
This puts the whole community into a bad light. This whole "hack" or "tutorial" or whatever you might call it is nothing but two things:
Take some standart hardware and install stolen software. Wow.
Would you call this an intelligent hack? Maybe the folks over at something like scriptslashkiddiedot.org would...
Alright I'm sorry, since english is not my native language I ceased to get the right definition of stall.
What I meant to say was that the CPU always has to do litle rudder movements to prevent it from falling down, or the other way round: the pilot wouldn't be able to keep the plane up with his stick alone.
And yeah, I know there's some subliminal punchline in "keep the plane up with his stick";)
Sorry, but if you have to reboot the ENTIRE avionics system of a F-22 you're fucked to say mildly.
This plane is always in a controlled stall, the movements of the rudder to prevent it from crashing are calculated every second this bird flys, the pilot just decides in which directions the plane goes, but the task of keeping it up is left to the CPU.
So, if you just "reboot" this sucker for a second the plane would plummet like a stone, no matter how strong it's pushed forward by the engine or what the pilot does.
What I can imagine that the pilot would have to restart some none vital components of the main computer. Such as the timing of the green/red flashlights or his seat heating.;) Even restarting the RADAR/TARGETING unit would be ok, BUT DO NOT SWITCH OF THE AVIONICS ON THIS BIRDY!
Once these are accepted, all Joe Privacy invader needs to do is hook up these readers at entrances to stores, restuarants, etc
OMG! And they will find out the very truth, invaded my privacy and now know that I DARED TO USE THE SUBWAY SYSTEM! O MY GOD! PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!!!
If someone wants to spy on me, go ahead, you'll be bored. Why does everyone always bitch about the intrusion of privacy and the big brother watching and shit? Why do YOU think that someone may only have the slightest interest in you? You are not interesting, nor are your habits or where you go. As long as you do nothing illegal no one is going to give a shit! So please, please stop talking about invasion.
Instead of spending money on this system why not giving free access to the public transport system to everyone who shows a valid ticket from a park&ride facility outside the city...
I'm sure People would like the idea of a free ride thru the city instead of spending money for fuel and wasting time in traffic jams...
forcing the user to use something else from the company ONLY appears on the software side. I never saw a MS Mouse that only works with a MS OS, or vice versa. I never saw a MS game that only works with MS controllers, or vice versa.
So, gaming, hardware, and OS are SEPERATED. This was my point.
Yes, it's true. Just because they developed a kinda unfriendly OS there is no reason to hate the whole company and predict failings and spread bad mood.
The gaming sector of Microsoft has nothing in common with the part of the company that produces the OS, except the name. Take a look at Microsoft hardware, the controllers, the joysticks, the mice. They deliver rock steady quality for a fair price.
And I think it's the same thing with gaming here. The guys responsible for that DO have the balls and the money to pull this thing off.
Why do we always have to bitch about EVERYTHING that MS does? Why can't we just be grateful that they give us more freedom in choosing our online/gaming console?
More drivers just improve the quality of the race.
So, let's see how they do, and hey, if it's cool don't be ashamed to use it.
3.: Kazaa *IS* legal. They won in court. That's it.
4.: I like the first part, but I don't think that the RIAA wants to go deeper into this "strange-new-internet-thing". They'll just sue away as much as they can...
Somehow the RIAA reminds of my old 3DFX Voodoo5 graphics card. It was nothing fancy, but brute force acceleration, like the RIAA has nothing but brute force sueing. Well 3DFX died out...
... just go ahead, get kazaalite (http://www.kazaalite.com/) and start sharing.
I don't care in which way they will copyright their material. Let's just enjoy it as long as it lasts, we can move over to gnutella anytime we want. Since kazaa, etc are aware of this fact they will go on like they do now (not suing kazaalite) as long as possible...
To cut a long story short: Don't freak out when someone points out a problem we already have the solution for.

kdawson, you are an idiot, please do your research.
this should save you guys some time....
first russia, now cuba.. linux seem pretty popular among communists...
i mean come on, dr. freeman on a subway...

thank you, editors.
now hit me with your favourite -1 item.
while your points are really valid here, I was talkin about keepin some kids from using your bandwidth, not stopping your favourite spy agency... ;)
only allow the MACs of your PDA/notebook/cellphone to connect and get an ip...
sorry for the one liner, but pulling this off is very OS dependent, thus out of the scope of this posting.
I think it's ok that BMG jumps into the deadpool.
This is kinda an example how CD protection is going to fail, because now ppl don't have to inform themselves which CDs are nonfunctional, just look out for the BMG logo and you'll know.

Let's see how the sales go down...
Well, let's assume that we say goodbye to Hollywood in like 3 years, a massive burndown, everything goes out of business.
;)
But then, someone WILL pop up and make a movie about the fall of hollywood.
So I guess it's just kinda recycling, not going out of business
Phion is an AUSTRIAN company. Yes, this is a huge difference.

Just count the seconds until the great bitchslappin' script kicks in and blackholes the whole thread...
thank you
no, I think you didn't get my point.
forcing the user to use something else from the company ONLY appears on the software side.

Just filter out all files under 1 meg... it worked for me since I guess it only shows up when searching for software...
