iirc the academic and corprate licenses for windows are upgrade/downgrade only. So to do this legitimately its very likely you will end up paying retail for windows.
that will add another significant whack on top of the apple premium for the hardware.
if desk space is at that much of a premium why do you have a seperate linux box (linux and windows have been able to dual boot for years)?
the fact is multibooting is a kludge, maybe acceptable for laptop users where weight is a huge issue or for very occasional use of other operating systems but i don't see the attraction if your at your desk and can put the machines on the floor (and control them with a kvm switch).
This could be interesting for things like public clusters at a university though. People can't keep a long running session on those anyway and having one machine that can be everything could be VERY attractive.
most minidisk decks i've seen have a toslink output (along with that crappy SCMS that lukilly computer cards tend to ignore).
though you are right in a sense there is no easy way to get the compressed bitstream out of them, only the results of decompressing it (this may have changed with some of the newer usb drives, can't say i've ever used one)
yeah that should have said "over the net" sorry i missed a word there.
yeah there are easilly rippable cds for the moment at least in the uk and the usa (some contries are apparently having theese copy protected cds shoved down thier throats a lot more often). but theres nothing other than itunes that
1: supplies major label music 2: supplies instant gratification and al-a-carte song choice 3: works with the ipod 4: is undeniablly legal (yes there is an argument that the likes of allofmp3 are legal because they argue that the copy is made in russia but it seems a fairly tenuous one to me)
did you try using a japaneese handset in those places in europe you speak.
at least with GSM the transmit power largely depends on how far you are from the tower. So in a major city the transmit power from your cell will (on average) be far lower than in some backwater town/village (unless it happens to be the town/village that has the local cell tower).
Afaict the populated areas of japan are populated extremely densely so i would imagine the cell coverage to be correspondingly dense.
1: an account 2: either sufficiant funds or sufficant overdraft facility to cover the cash withdrawl. 3: an atm that supports deposits (do most us atms do so? i know most in the uk don't seem to)
i presume by check cashing they are reffering more to the service you get from places like pawnbrokers who will give you cash and then essentially lend you the money until the check clears (for a fee ofc)
if you wan't to use your songs purchased from itms (without cracking the drm or throwing away yet more quality by burning and re-ripping) you have to buy ipods
if you wan't to legitimately buy major label music for your ipod over the you have to use itms
so ipod owners are likly end up with some music from itms and the only portable they can play it on will be the ipod. So when thier ipod breaks or they wan't a player for thier spouse or whatever they are going to buy an ipod.
personally i wasn't too bothered about the fact it was a joke skin, i was bothered that it made links virtually unreadable (even worse than the it.slashdot.org skin).
Not sure where you are going with the anti-virus, since Microsoft has never released one. But when they do, I'm pretty confident it'll steal the market share too.
umm msav and mwav?
they seemed to give up on them before the release of win95 though. dunno why
i don't see how earplugs will do anything for sound leakage from other movies that are running at the same time (or even the same movie running slightly delayed to save on reels)
dunno about other makes but i know the xilix spartan 3 fpgas are ram based and reprogrammed on every startup. I believe this applies to xilixes higher end fpgas too.
the problem i see is that place and route processing of a design is SLOW so you would have to be running a pretty long job for customisations to be worth it.
This makes it a major pain when you just want to encrypt data without claiming to be anyone in particular, since you have to jump through a lot of hoops both on server and client side to get it working. The browser gets bitchy about a certificate that isn't signed by any of its roots, even though it may very well be the case that nobody cares.
right so you've got yourself a nice encrypted connection to the man in the middle. You need some mechanism to tell you that the person you think you are linked with is the person you are really linked with or the encryption isn't a whole lot of help.
theres the web of trust system but that has problems of its own (e.g. that you have to trust people between you and the target who don't have any legal contracts to uphold and could well be corrupted).
also i'm not sure why the padlock icon is insufficiant, it means that provided the root CAs are doing thier job properly and there aren't nasty browser issues (e.g. the long username url trick) the site i'm talking too really is the legitimate owner of paypal.com. Do i really need to know any more than that?
In fact, every machine on the internet could be given a unique 32 bit number. Then you could connect to it using that number as the name. That would be awesome!
the trouble with using ip addresses directly is they are too close to the physical network infrastructure and as such not very portable (unless you own a very large private block.....).
also combined with name based virtual hosting using domain names allows sites to be combined onto one server and later split up again if nessacery without huge wastage of IP space.
Finally one dns name can map to multiple machines at once either in a round robin fassion or based on the network location of the users dns resolver (which is usually quite close to the user).
is that dns names use one order whilst file paths use another.
HTTP urls are essentially formatted as a file path with a dns name as one component so the top level name ends up somewhere in the middle and if the hostname is long potentially quite hard to spot.
yeah i think for laptops to be used properly in a lecture theatre would require much greater stepping. This would increase cost and possiblly reduce accessibility.
especially nearer the front lecture theatres tend to have quite a shallow stepping so you don't wan't stuff sticking up from the desks.
As it is a laptop a few rows in front of you can be far more visible than the projection screen, blackboard, lecturers face etc.
A final thing with laptops is that they make it very easy for students to do stuff thats very distracting to other students (e.g. playing games where the whole screen is moving) without the teacher noticing. Also i can imagine the lack of keyboard/mouse makes such activities less attactive on tablets.
i've seen the duke3D source and its pretty horrible too. Game engine programmers tend to be programmers who think about performance first and only expect thier code to be read by highly competent coders.
you've got to start from the main method and try and find your way from there to the mainloop, from there stuff should start falling into place.

well with mail the sender is anonymous and the recipiant can deny all knowlage that he requested the mail...............
last i checked that was ok with most clients on the aim side but was somewhat hit and miss depending on the client chosen on the icq side.
i vaugely remember it too and iirc it would play audio minidisks but not record them.
iirc it was fairly expensive and not particuarlly high capactity (a bit better than zip but nowhere near cd)

that only works if you have

i didn't see any blood in the screenshots

hmm mini-itx.com seem to only have the epia nl pin header only versions
not that thats nessacerally a bad thing.
the patch for running xp on the mac that is?
