Perhaps you'd like to read the/. post before commenting, if you did you would see:
sanemind noted that Pioneer has announced the world's first consumer level DVD Recorder. Although they are only available in Japan, and the blanks will cost 30-plus bucks, it's still pretty sweet.
It already said it's only avaliable in Japan... And even if it is only avaliable in Japan at the moment, that doesn't mean it isn't coming here soon... For example: Playstation and Dreamcast were avaliable in Japan first and then came here a little while after..
Think about it... if you have a nice DV (digital video) camera, and one of these DVD recorders, you could make professional looking DVDs.
Or even, you can have this record TV shows, as it said in the article. Think about it, they said this will be able to record with RW discs... this could basically be like a smaller scale TiVo, with MUCH nicer quality.
Introduction of Copy Protection Technology The DVR-1000 complies with all available copy protection technologies {e.g. response to CGMS (Copy Generation Management System) signal and detection of Macrovision signal}, to protect copyrighted visual content from unauthorized copying which contradicts the intention of copyright owners. Furthermore, the DVR-1000 implements secure media ID detection functions, which form a key element in disabling playback of discs containing unauthorized copies. DVD-RW blank discs also contain the technology to prevent successful copying of discs protected by CSS* (Contents Scramble System). *CSS is the encryption technology used for DVD-Video discs.
I wonder how well the encryption is on this.
Oh no, they'll probably prosecute me under the DMCA for talking about their propietary CSS standard. No, that doesn't make much sense, but the MPAA doesn't make much sense either...
His article...Our Millimeter-Size Universe is pretty interesting. "Superstring theory suggests that gravity is weak because its extra-dimensional loops are a millimeter in diameter."
I would not be surprised if the same thing is happening in the USA. The Chinese are taking over the Canadians, but the Canadian Imperialists are taking over the us!
Perhaps your weren't aware, that these fires prevent fires, as odd as that may seem. They burn materials in order to prevent widespread forest fires. Unfortunately, this one didn't go to well. These controlled burns are routine though... just because you hear about it burning down an area.. doesn't mean it's "incredibily stupid".
...unless you want to argue that the DMCA violates the First Amendment. In that case, the article should have made that point.
I thought emmett's editorial was very good, regaurdless of the fact that it didn't address Microsoft's specific copyright claims.
I've heard some people say things like "well, the people who wrote the constitution wrote the section about copyrights first", implying that it is more important. The fact of the matter is, that if we can't express our opinoins freely, then forget about copyrights. Business is not more important than freedom. I thought emmett was very clear that the DMCA, (and therefore Mircosoft's case) are unconstitutional. It's a principle thing. Congress shall make no law.
I mean, how often do you think this would affect the user? How often would it freeze up? I'm guessing it'd be pretty rare.. I mean, i have an i820 motherboard, with these exact specs, and I haven't noticed any proble....MTH ERROR- 10101001010011001010101110101001010011001010101101 101010010100010111011100101010101001000110010101 01
In the article, they couldn't stop plugging 'AT&T Broadband Interactive TV'... too bad they didn't actually explain they were talking about.
Regauardless, I'm guessing it's a sort of high- speed WebTV which goes through cable (just like cablemodems). Even if it isn't, this would still be very valuable to WebTV users, who usually don't have a computer(or at least in concept), and therefore they can't print stuff off the the internet.
I'm happy now. Now I can buy a domain name when using AOL, Compuserve, or even when using WINAMP!
This sounds like another anti-trust suit to me. Not only does AOL have the largest number of IM users(and own another large one!), one of the largest ISPs, and a whole bunch of other monopolies... they're going to probably buy out the whole domain name process. When I heard of this around a year ago, it was five different companies that were going to be able to this, one of which was AOL. Although, its very concerning to learn that AOL will have an exclusive agreement with NSI.
This begs the question, can AOL buyout the process of selling domains too?
The point of it isn't so you can type in the bathtub, the point is you can do whatever you want with it, and not have to worry if your keyboard can handle it.
I mean, this seems like a good product and all, but really, what does happen if you spill a material on there that it can't handle. Like, lets say you get some type of paint on the keyboard, which it can't handle, and not only does the keyboard not work, it electrocutes you.

They forgot to mention in the article... that she goes on to say "And anyone out there who wants to argue about it, we know where you live"
Well, babelfish.altavista.com works pretty well, for a website at least.(even though your looking for more of an organizer type thing). The problem I've found when using these is that they are too literal, exact translations.
If I were to write a program like that, I certainly wouldn't put any malicious code in it, and I certainly wouldn't expect anyone who knows anything about computers to run it...
Robert Morris, created an internet worm in 1988 that crippled tons of computers. However, he did not have any malicous intent whatsoever. Just because you don't have malicious intent, doesn't mean they're wont be a bad outcome.
"The "Internet Worm" of November 2-3,1988, created by Cornell grad student Robert Morris, was to be the largest and bestpublicized computer intrusion scandal to date. Morris claimed that his ingenious "worm" program was meant to harmlessly explore the Internet, but due to bad programming, the Worm replicated out of control and crashed some six thousand Internet computers." - The Hacker Crackdown
FYI, this may be a little offtopic, but anything to stop these damn viruses. For you sysadmins, here is howto setup a sendmail rule to prevent the ILUVYOU virus from being circulated.
I'm sorry I didn't go more in-depth. "Now this relates to the worm, since the creator of such a virus wouldn't want all the technology in his/her life destroyed." Notice I said technology, not the creator's computer. You don't realize how much of your life is dependant upon computers. Take your situation for example, lets say the virus writer (who is primarily a UNIX user) writes a worm that destroys all Windows boxes. This would be devistating to technology in general, since many computers, especially businesses, run some form of windows. I'm not saying windows in the most widely used operating system, I'm just saying a loss of that many computers would be detrimental to our technological society as we know it. Also, many computer systems are dependant upon others to function, which would cause even more widespread problems.
You don't think "I Love You" qualifies as a world-wide epidemic? It was pretty much everywhere! No, I don't think this qualifies as a world-wide epedemic. A world-wide epedemic would be something that would be more widespread. This is only really major in the UK, and is estimated to have affected 10% of businesses. Now, as bad as this may sound, a virus that attacks AOL users also, I feel would be much more widespread, seeing that AOL is a mjor isp. I know people who use it, and there was this one trojan going around that everyone who i know that has AOL was infected with, since they all weren't smart enough not to download and install a trojan.
You know, that's a good question. It's as good as another question... "Seeing that the technology required to develop a nuclear weapon today is much easier than it was years ago, and some anti-us countries/groups even have these weapons, why hasn't the US been attacked with them?" The answer is simple, Mutually Assured Destruction. Now this relates to the worm, since the creator of such a virus wouldn't want all the technology in his/her life destroyed.
Well, actually, i'd actually attribute it to the fact that it has to spread some way, and so far there hasn't been one that spreads well enough to become a worldwide epedemic.
Sure, it may be to costly for the UK to filter messages which are transmitted by voice, but if you weren't aware, the NSA's "Echelon" allegedly does exactly what you described.
The thing some people don't realize though, is that languages like Esperanto are not meant to be primary languages. Two million people speak Esperanto worldwide, but that doesn't mean that these people speak only Esperanto... usually it is used for businessmen who need to communicate internationally. Many Esperanto words come from various languages, which makes it more logical. Also, it is more logical in general. It can be learned four times faster than most languages.
Slashdot Mirror
Wasn't it called iCrave TV and not Crave TV?
Uhm, i don't mean to flame.. but.. what are you talking about?
The RIAA is the music industry.
The TV industry is something different.
It's like saying... 'Let's go have the MPAA and Microsoft team up'.. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
This sounds like it really has some promise, but I really can't help from being skeptical.
I mean, I don't really have a Palm, so I can't really speak for myself, but how good are pages being viewed as WML via WAP going to look?
I mean, can it view graphics also? I hope it looks better than viewing webpages with lynx on a WYSE terminal.
Wow.. how informative you are.

true, but the problem with dictionaries is that they do not usually conjugate verbs for you.
