They will because Bush uses an iPod. It was reported in my local newspaper (proving that some collumnists really have nothing useful to do with their time) that Bush has the biggest capacity (the one that holds ~10,000 songs) iPod with 250 songs in his playlist. He has one of his aides download music from iTunes
openness has nothign to do with standards, de facto or de jure. DVD CSS isn't open, but it's a standard. After all EVERY video DVD is encrypted with CSS.
MS Word *.doc is a standard because 80% of the desktop market runs MS Word.
Just becuase it's closed doesn't mean it's not a standard
Despite having won the Betamax case in 1980, Sony is very afraid of being considered leinent of piracy, especially since it has its fingers in the content creation pot now. While it would be nice for Sony to have an open, DRM-free mp3 player, it simply isn't going to happen in today's environment.
Having to use Sony's software to add songs...isn't that what you do with iPod, add songs through iTunes?
There is a full height 150. It came out last month. 150 is the lastest version so it makes sense to review using the 150, but I agree it should have been the full height model instead of the low profile
The Hauppage PVR-150 MCE comes in a low profile and full profile size. Realizing that there shouldn't be any difference in ability between the two sizes, it doesn't make sense to review a low profile card next to 2 full-profile card. A reader could get the impression that the Hauppage card is only available in low-profile and not purchase it for their full size case.
Also interesting to note is their poor review of the Hauppage PVR-150 MCE when every other review I've ever read calls it the best TV tuner add-in card ever produced, compared to other manufacuters and compared to Hauppage's other tuners the PVR-250 and PVR-350
I'm not blaming them for their actions. If I was in their shoes, I would probably do the same (or I would open source it and get fired by the board). I'm just saying I won't expect any great improvement in open source video drivers without ATI & nVidia getting behind the effort.
Yes a hard disk is a block storage device, but this registry key is USB specific (although I admit it's not obvious).
As for the other post, it is possible to restrict users access to the registry by edititing the registry.
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and go to the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Control 2. On the Edit menu, click Add Key. 3. Enter the following values: Key Name: SecurePipeServers Class: REG_SZ 4. Go to the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Control\SecurePipeServers 5. On the Edit menu, click Add Key. 6. Enter the following values: Key Name: winreg Class: REG_SZ 7. Go to the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg 8. On the Edit menu, click Add Value. 9. Enter the following values: Value Name: Description Data Type: REG_SZ String: Registry Server 10. Go to the following subkey. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlS et\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg 11. Select "winreg". Click Security and then click Permissions. Add users or groups to which you want to grant access. 12. Exit Registry Editor and restart Windows.
Or of course, set (restrict) the proper permissions in Group Policy Manager (assuming using XP Pro)
Acording to a program on the Discovery Channel, about 60,000 years ago, the population of homo sapiens sapiens was reduced to ~2000. The current hypothesis is that the supervolcano under Yellowstone erupted and caused world-wide havoc on the ecosystem causing mass die-offs in populations. It would be noted that around that time, the North American Interior Seaway is believed to have broken through (possibly because of the eruption) the land seperating it from the Atlantic Ocean. This breka would have caused world sea level to rise about 10 meters. In flat lying areas such as the middle east (considered the birthlace of civilization) this would have caused floods hundreds of miles inland. Correlates roughly to the story of Noah (world gets flooded and only a handful of people left to repopulate the Earth)
A lot of people have a rabid response to those two letters: I.P. What if the poster wasn't trying to prevent "theft" of "IP" but "theft" of customer data. What if it was I caught an employee stealing our customers credit card numbers and SSNs to USB flash drives.
If creationist beliefs of the age of the earth are believed (where the 6000 comes from) then that should be over6000 years ago. The ~6000 year number was determined by the ArchBishop Usser in 1664 that the Earth was created on Oct 26, 4004 B.C. at 9:00 am. Which is just short of 6009 years ago. Man was created on Nov 1, 4004 BC and woman two days later on Nov 3, 4004 BC. So on Nov 4, the serpent tricked Eve into eating fruit from the tree of knowledge, and Adam & Eve were subsequently banished from Eden. All 6008 years, 5 months, and 9 days ago.
If you are using Windows XP with SP2 you can keep block storage devices from being written to. If you have XP but not SP2, this would be a good reason to install the service pack. If your don't have XP, try searching google for software that will provide the functionality

This allows writing. Change the value to 1. This will prevent writing. Save your registry and reboot. Of course, it's always recomended to backup your registry before making changes.
Allegedly, Longhorn will have this control without having to hack the registry.
This sounds like a really good idea. People who volunteer even get an anonymous password to the website to see how their ancestors migrated to their current location. Too bad they will be testing only indigenous peoples. European-based mutts such as myself don't get to participate.
IANAL, either, but I would think that you would want to patent it. Then freely disseminate the plans, but since you own the patent, nobody else can take credit for it.
I must admit it, I'm an avid manual reader. Granted I'm not artistically inclined, but I've yet to come across an image editor such as PhotoShop, GIMP, PaintShop that I could figure out on my own.
I purchased a domain through 1&1 a year and a half ago. nj-space.net I had a burgoining site that seemed to be popular with bloggers looking for info about space policy. Unfortunately, I typed my credit card number in wrong or something and 1&1 were unable to get my payment. Instead of contacting me to resolve this issue, they deleted my account. I was told if I wanted to use the domain again, I would have to wait until it expired and register it again (preferably with their service). So for 6 months the New Jersey SPACE NETwork displayed a "this domain has been recently registered and the owner has not yet moved in" page. Then when it expired, somebody swooped in and stole it. It is now registered to "Company Require" in Buryatia, Russia with a hotmail address and +000.0000000 for telephone number.
What part of "it provides easy entry" does your post contradict? It doesn't matter if the MAN pages will impart upon you magical powers simply by reading it, most novice-mid users (which is most of the computer market) don't read any documentation unless it's part of an interactive setup (e.g. Verizon DSL)
If I can't figure out a program, I read the manual. Then I see if a friend knows the answer. Then I will try the internet.
If Joe Shmoe can't figure out a program, he asks the power-user he knows. Thats the one and only stop they seem to make. My mother still makes me check the requirements for a peice of software to make sure "its compatible with our computer" before she buys it.
So your technophobe family members just user their broadband connection to download the last version of OpenOrfice?
My grandfather uses Windows, MS Office and AOL because they were on the computer when he got it. The man knows how to take apart a tank, but has trouble learning how to use new programs and will stick with the first application he's presented with.
When I set my parents up with gaim, they kept asking "so I don't have AIM anymore? Most novice-moderate users mistake what a program does with the program itself. They think Windows=computer, Word=word proccessing, Excel=spreadsheet, AOL Instant Messenger = IM, Quicken= finance manager, etc.
I agree that it is a bad test case, and the most damaging thing that could result is because of the blatant issues, the courts decide that blogging isn't journalism, and we're stuck with the decision.
However, until the issue is pushed and the courts recognize that blogging is is journalism, it isn't considered journalism and doesn't have any inherent rights.

Yes, your correct. I'm guilty of mixing up my Discovery Channel shows. Thanks for fixing my mistake
When iPod first came out, did XPlay and free solutions exist? Should we expect them to exist right out the gate for Sony's product?
Exactly. This comparison review is worthless for this purpose.
The only Sony product I've ever considered buying is a PlayStation 2...and I haven't...yet. Arrg!!!!!
Having to use Sony's software to add songs...isn't that what you do with iPod, add songs through iTunes?
Welcome to the Brave New World.
Well, duh. How is the box going to receive IR signals if there isn't an IR sensor plugged in?

Thanks. For me this is was the internet is about, recommending tools to make others lives better.
