I have been in the betatest, I have an 8mb connection that I share with 4 others, on which it works ok, but it seems like it would not fare so well with a connection much less than that.
I just typed spam map into Google Images, and judging by the results the entire East coast of the U.S should promptly be disconnected from the Internet to solve the problem
I actually started a company doing much the same thing back in 2000, probably a bit ahead of its time. Even took out a patent . Unfortunately investors (actually almost everyone we talked to..) didn't have a clue what we were talking about, so we ran out of money.
Why do I live in such a small country, where nobody has a clue.... sigh...
Anybody got a job working with interesting people that can actually think ????

I had the same experience - Mac's are slick, better looking and all, but to me it just seems like their GUI is designed for idiots that like eyecandy. Stuff that would take me two clicks to accomplish in windows takes me four clicks to accomplish on a Mac. It just isn't as great as it is made out to be, at least not if you use it as a professional tool, and are more interested in getting things done than in awing at the amazing graphics...
I couldn't help but notice that the review was awfully positive, and that it, not even once, mentioned the Ipod which would be natural in a review of the Zune. It did, however, mention passport and the xbox - both Microsoft ventures. Thought it smelled fishy, so I did a whois search www.for2old2play.com, the site the review appeared on. And guess what: The domain is registered by Chicagobased SEO and webmarkting company Lytis.
Here is a blurb from the frontpage of their website:
"Lytis offers many different strategies to bring more traffic to your site"
People are the weakest link in any security systems
it says in the article. The solution to the problem is simple and apparent then: Air the show in primetime, preferably on a channel that would normally sport series such as American Idol.
That'll teach them...
We will shortly be conducting a scientific experiment to locate particularly beautiful sandgrains on the beach of Copenhagen. A powerful automated microscope will comb the beach taking pictures, and anyone with a PC can join the effort to locate the most ornate and beautiful sandgrain. Participants that locate the most beautiful sandgrains will of course be eligible to name them.
"No doubt President Bush's well meaning but misguided No Child Left Behind Act is partly to blame as well. As the son of a science teacher, I regularly hear about how government emphasis on unrealistic academic standards incapacitates effective science education. And as a victim of the public school system myself, I am painfully aware of how it impedes learning"
Although not a regular supporter of mr. Bush, I am supportive of his "no child left behind" act. If implemented correctly it raises school standards to a higher level, creating an overall more educated workforce, and thus a more educated, flexible, and innovative society in which innovation thrives, and where racial injustice, crime and other human misdeeds are at a minumum.
Coming from Denmark, a country that has carried this policy for many years, I think that I am justified in saying that I know what the implications of this policy are. The current good example, of course, being Skype - Started by a Dane and a Swede. Furthermore, there is the upside of not having outrageous public discussions about whether ID should be accepted into classrooms as science, a subject Danes spend many a cold winternight joking about, and of course being scared shitless that the worlds only superpower is at an educational level where the public can be made to believe this nonsense...
Actually the Internet is not as redundant as a lot of people think. The reason being the term known as a cascading failure. Basically what happens if you take out a major hub of the Internet, such as for instance one of the major routers coming in to the US, is that the traffic will be redirected to other hubs, putting a severe strain on these. Eventually they will become overburdened and fail. Traffic will again be redirected to other hubs that will fail under the increasing load, and so on and so forth until a major part of the infrastructure is incapacitated.
So basically all you have to do to cripple the Internet is to take out a few major hubs.
It appears to me that you are missing the point of the reason for holding someone for 90 days. It is not that it necessarily takes 90 days to decrypt the information that might or might not be on a suspects harddrive, hell with one of any widely available encryption schemes it might take years, even decades. The point is that since the police does not know what incriminating evidence might be locked away in the belly of the beast they need more time to round up other suspects, check for leads, and do whatever it is that the police does when they have imperfect information on a possible crime. And when they can't extract a nicely formatted contact list they can call, and a calender they can check it takes them longer to do this.
I'm not passing judgement on whether or not this is fair, just stating facts.

You don't have much knowledge of politics do you ?
In a word: no.

Just my opinion

Yep, and they seem to be pretty good at it too
for great justice
In communist China devices should be red, not blue.
I wonder how many pirated movies they have lying around on all those disks...
I'm Danish, I can take it....
Well then, time to deface some .gov websites with drawings of the prophet Muhammed...
they should revert to their old businessmodel...

Maybe they shouldn't have hired Ron Jeremy to cast Superman
