Gamer-Cases with fans like jetengines and I'm-cheap-and-look-so-PCs from supermarket
discounters and even gas stations, a computer which looks like a computer would be a
fresh and cool idea of a design.
(IMHO) it would be perfect if the designer knows what "bauhaus design" is.
It's because it works like it is. And the "new" ways of controlling aren't advantages, they are just ways of fixing the disadvantages of small displays and small devices lacking (working!) methods of cotrolling like mouses, trackballs and so on.
The guy in the video behaves like he, i'm sorry, Microsoft Microsoft Microsoft, invented the Philosopher's Stone. The only difference between them and a free project like Celestia is, the "scientists" from MS have the money to buy the newest space images. But "new" is something else.
... a revolutionary new way of protecting secret, spacebased, black, dull colored facilities with attached heatresistant ceramics to become ultimately overheated by using semiconductor based heat-to-electric-energy-converter-technology to power the boardsystems with electric energy as well as an laser generator which beams odd energy to the outer space were it is not longer a harm for the satellite.
...a revolutionary new way of preventing secret, spacebased, black, dull colored facilities to burn up by attaching heatresistant ceramics at the hull.
Especially the first part of the series. It focused on the weird leveldesign, smooth controle over the spaceship and extreme fast action. Descent 2 was the same, but the levels began to become "slower". The 3d-engine of the 3rd part had problems with it's collision detection and the leveling of the spaceship was much worse that in the other two parts. I still play the linuxport of D from time to time, and have a lot of fun. I'm using my old Thrustmaster TopGun http://www.joy-stick.net/images/TopGun.gif , an oldschool flightstick. Another great game ist TIE-Fighter, which run smoothly under dosbox and (IMHO) the best action-flightsim ever, TFX.
Really? What is sexy? Mature, young, fat, skinny, blond or brunette? Everyone has it's own preferences.
I don't like designer-gadgets. I fo myself like techy looking cyberpunky devices, full with intellingent functions made in high quality. For me is the x300 the sexy one, not the AirBook, which lacks a crude technical design, and much worse, functionality for an geek.
That means ist's OK to maximize the collateral damage (by shockwave) and (possibly) make the territory inhabitable, as long it's done over hostile territory?
No, i mean stupid. I see nothing awesome in the building of machine which kills everyone on the ground in it's flight path and spreading radioactive material all over it just before it's drops several nuclear warheads on it's primary target. There is nothing awesome in such a machine, except the unbelievable assholeness of it's creators.
...they were never hired by the CIA/NSA. They were all hired by the German Government to found the Bundesnachrichtendienst (Germany's Federal Secret Service) and the MAD (Military Counter Intelligence Service) in 1956;-)
I understand your point and what you mean. But my point is, as long as Skype has no interface to receive send/encrypted audiostreams directly to/from your earphone/mic, the datastream exists somewhere in an unencrpyted form in your computer, otherwise Skype wouldn't be able to handle the datastream. Probably between the drivers of the earphone/mic and the Skype application. Enough for a well written trojan to catch the data. That means your secure hardware attached to the computer is senseless as long Skype doesnÄt support such hardware directly. And even it would support it, you have to trust Skype's programmers since it's closed source*.
*OK, that's not the problem in this case, because they're an US company, and not an German one.
Maybe it was may fault and my English isn't good enough;-D
But somewhere between Skype and the earphone's driver (you probably need one) the data must be "clear speak" to handle it over to Skype, and at this point the trojan could hook into. Or there must be a interface in Skype implemented, to receive/send encrypted audio streams directly to a headphone.
I don't think the common 15-$-earphones match the price to contain the logic for encryption between computer an earphone/mic. But a hardware solution is not the question here, because the ministry said explicitely that they want to use software. hides much better than a strange piece of electronics which appears out of the nothing at your line-in.
Good question. The best answer is, the bavarian minister has exactly no idea of software and how it works. He shares his unknowledge with his federal counterpart Wolfgang Schäuble, the guy responsible for the so called "Federal Trojan" (Bundestrojaner).

The new method is called black, dull color.
There seems to be a reason that you're an Anonymous Coward.

I just wanted to respect the puritan american audience here around.
Incorrect. I prefer young (age 23-28) brunettes, skinny, small t*ts.

The device was called "Pluto VSLAM".

It's from the 1950/60s. What a naive and stupid era.
Exactly the same what i thought.
Find bug.
Wait until the newest release cames out.

Does that mean the artifical womb makes women obsolete? No men, no women. What will be there?

I assume, we sold them old world war stuff from an junkyard as new. I'm ashamed.
I still miss the "whoreonterror".
