No, it's not an LCD, as it uses E-Ink (little black and white capsules) - that's what makes it e-paper. It does use TFTs to rotate those capsules and change the color, however.
Really, they should support the format they think's going to lose. Then, if that format loses before anyone really bothers to come out with dual-format players, they could sell the people who bought a copy in that format a copy in the other format as well.
Yes, this is a great idea, but it doesn't work as well if you can't keep the same username at every site. A password database helps you remember usernames too.
People who publish their source code do so because they want to, not because it's the law. And by the way, the law doesn't say you have to publish your source code, and neither does a license such as the GPL. The GPL says if you want to redistribute your work and that work contains someone else's GPL code, then you have to "pay" for that code by publishing the source. But you can always decide to not publish, and not distribute either.
But if you don't distribute the program, then getting money for the software (in a traditional software business model) is much harder. Also, not everyone who distributes GPLed software distributes the source because they want to. Some, such Sitecom, Fortinet, IChessu, and others, have been forced to distribute it because the law (and courts specifically) have said that they must.
The blog poster's overarching argument also does not make sense. If there is no copyright, any software can be copied and a disassembler applied to get the source code back out. So you would not need the GPL. With no copyright, there is no need for the GPL.
Ah, because everyone knows that disassemblers are amazing at discovering the intent of deliberately obfuscated code (it will be obfuscated by the compiler, to prevent reverse-engineering). Who needs comments anyway? This is why the r300 and nouveau projects are so far along.
most distros are going to include a kernel with the kitchen sink compiled in.
No, most distros are going to include a kernel with the kitchen sink compiled as modules, taking up a few megabytes on the hard drive, but never loaded.
No, that's the point. They want to add DRM to portable video players and home media servers, and they want to release software that respects adds that DRM when ripping. If they are the ones that license the DRM-full ripping software, then using that software to rip into those devices would be ok.
As there isn't a unified DRM standard, they can't release that software yet, but if there some day will be, then they some day will release that software.
The SEC said it isn't bringing enforcement action against Apple
Contrary to popular belief, Steve Jobs is not, in fact, Apple. There was a period of many years when Steve Jobs was not associated at all with Apple. If they actually do go to court against Jobs (and not Apple), there may be another period of many years when he won't be associated with Apple.
They can't use your name to endorse or promote their product, but they have to include your copyright notice (in the documentation, if they just distribute a binary).
So the kernel would still be infringing on the copyrights of the people who are out of the loop, but because they're out of the loop we don't care about them, and if they ever started caring about us they probably wouldn't sue us?
But what does it mean for international website operators when they need help to deliver their content? Will they use a system designed for U.S.'s DARPA?
Modern graphics hardware is actually quite programmable. Although this RSX is based off of the G70, not the G80 (which is essentially a specialized stream processor), you can probably do some interesting General-Purpose GPU things on it.
I doubt that Microsoft would want to come out with a motion controller just so people could play a Wii Sports clone on it. If you just want to play Wii Sports, you buy a Wii. However, if a lot of other games use it well, they might want to get in on that.
Why can't I be my own shepherd? When I do think, I can make decisions that I will use when I'm on autopilot. I don't run out in front of cars all the time, because I've previously decided that that would be a bad idea. Why can't I do the same with my beliefs?
With 8 cores in the package, I'd suggest that pipelines may tend towards idleness?
So you're planning on solving the problem of not having enough threads for all the cores by... adding support for running even more threads at the same time? Genius!
Actually, hyperthreading wouldn't help with only pipeline bubbles. These processors have lots of execution units, which may go unused with certain workloads (you might not be able to find m simple integer instructions, n complex integer instructions, o floating point instructions, and p loads/stores at the same time). With hyperthreading, you can attempt to allocate all of the execution units into more than one thread, which will be more efficient on wide and shallow architectures like the Core and K8.

If it's so obvious, why didn't you invent it and bring it to market, already?
Well, the Athlon X2 was probably a better desktop chip, but the Core Duo was a better laptop chip than anything put out by AMD.

It's a typo.
The bad part of this plan is that part where we increase the stock price, thus giving Darl money.

Tell my about f'ing with Mother Nature when you decide to become a hunter-gatherer, living in the woods with no clothes and no home.
On second thought, maybe you should just stay away from me...

Of course, where I grew up we had typing class from 6th-8th grade, so it might just be where you live.

No, you're doing it all wrong, this is a glider:

I'm not sure what yours was.
Dragging 300' of cable throughout and around your house to use your laptop anywhere you want: priceless.

Don't get angry at him, he probably just came here from Digg, where that sort of behavior is standard and expected.
