I prefer Foxit too but twice recently it's blue-screened when printing out a particular PDF, for once I'm not blaming Windows. OK, so there's something malformed in the PDF which causes it to barf (Adobe renders it perfectly, of course), but blue-screening is a bit much. A pity as otherwise it's a great replacement. Now returning you to our scheduled topic...
The fact it's unveiled in the form of a 10-day exhibition at a 'museum' tells us something about the nature of this 'product'. Have a look at the Kinetica Museum (avoiding unnecessary Flash intro)
Right across the top is their angle on events:
Between Shows > Our Next Show : starts July 5th, world's first free-energy demonstration
However, despite it being a piece of entertainment, the company are serious. See this story from Ireland, where they are based: "The company stumbled upon the technology while working with wind turbines to power remote surveillance CCTV cameras for ATM."
They discovered it by accident! That's how all the best inventions are conceived.
How come none of the downloads work, is this the most elaborate hoax I've ever seen? Pity as it looks good. Some comment on GPL software? What's the deal here?
Except you'll also have to monitor your channel for the entire week and make any last-minute amendments (e.g. plane crash doco pulled due to real plane crash). And how many broadcasters are there in the US? A lot, I'd imagine.
For one thing, the game is coming from a company who knows the ratings board well, and thus knows what can and cant get pass the censors and tailored the game as such.
OK, so wtf happened on this occasion? They know it so well they got it banned in two different countries.
We're now at a stage where people should be employed by the courts system to act as educators and technical experts for any case - not advocating one side or the other of course but at least clarifying points like this for a judge. Why is this not happening.
I imagine that if the judge gets a clue and decides that the contents of the RAM are the tangible documents, then basically every bit of information on the server from top to bottom will have to be turned over to the court. Even if the server was hosting other, unconnected sites or even databases.
Can't tell right now 'cos the link is sending me to zdnet.comnull ??
So they say Flickr was disconnected because images of Tiananmen Square were posted. Who knows if it were even a Chinese national who posted them? Now I'm thinking, we could have us some fun, and help to highlight Chinese net censorship at the same time.
Post pictures of Tiananmen Square EVERYWHERE. Upload photos to Flickr, send video to Youtube and its 100 clones, post accounts on blogs, news sites etc. Let's see them disconnect their populace site-by-site until there's nothing left. Only then might it prompt a revolution that China appears to need so badly. At the very least it'll stop all those random port scans. If anyone's in doubt, it really happened
Where's the profit? Who pays for the content you bought up? It's a given that it will be available on p2p. We'd end up in the same boat as the record companies.
The Queen might be head of government but she isn't part of it. Church of England owns its churches and pays for upkeep (thus, collection plates at every event). Government, state & church are quite separate for obvious reasons.
I use in to make the sound more acceptable to those around me - no setting in the day, then decrease bass, increase treble slightly and reduce volume overall for night-time listening.
Dang, in Firefox on Windows with Adblock Plus I see a big overlay featuring the "biggest open-source show"... then the "biggest virtualization show"... and it's not helped by the booming video ad on the right featuring some MS bollocks... how this also slipped through is a concern. Adblock Plus not as good as Adblock & FilterG?
Who tagged this 'Patents'? Indeed, why is it filed under 'Patent Pending'. This is intellectual property, sure, but not patents. Actually trademark law is fairly sane in terms of what it offers - a guarantee that goods really are provided by the people who claim to provide them. And as the summary points out, the same trademark can be used by different people in different areas of business.
In the UK the older Sky boxes were notorious for offering your current viewing to neighbours - only this was simple RF leaking from the rear. Careful placement with a small aerial and you could get a half-decent picture. This meant you could watch your neighbour flicking through the channels, usually quite rapidly until boobies appeared, at which point he of course rolled back a few times in order to check out the action.
But as long as there are unencrypted copies on the Internet, there'll be people savvy enough to download & dump them to disk, which they can then hand round to their non-savvy friends.
After messing around with MythTV for a few hours and getting no where, if it works even half as good as the windows version, then it beats MythTV hands down.
Since you gave up after a few hours, how on Earth can you pass credible judgement on whether one is better than the other? You talk as if ease of setup is a virtue. On Slashdot. Setting up my MythTV box, even with Knoppmyth easing the process, still allowed me to learn a lot about how the program works. If I had a one-click install solution, I'd be scratching my head as soon as the first problem arose.
Different of course for your mum & dad, leave them to enjoy consumer PVRs until the OSS offerings mature a little.

iWeb 3 prompts a stirring in my loins
Quite possibly, but I can print the same PDF to the same printer no bother with Adobe Reader.

Yeah, but there'd never be enough women with walkie-talkies to organise all the brain-dead interviews.
But the RIAA don't own the copyright to the recordings, the member companies do. Even so this is some tossy little subsidiary.

Since the flood was caused by man-made levees bursting, the notion that the disaster wasn't at least in part 'man-made' seems flawed.

Bzzzt! Burglaries & child kidnapping happened before Google.
