You're full of shit, sorry. Cat5 is well within tolerance for i2c data transmission over any reasonable length... the signal would degrade well before the clock and data lines go out of sync.
I'm laughing my ass off. You don't seriously think the jitter caused by that miniscule difference in cable length will fool with anything designed to use twisted pair as an interconnect, do you?
We're not talking about memory busses running at several GHz, we're talking about relatively low-bandwidth interconnects between devices. And this is assuming that you're not encapsulating everything and just using ethernet signaling like everyone else in the pro audio world does.

Obviously, you've never worked in the semiconductor industry. Then, you can even charge significantly more for it the second time around... just label it milspec.

I'm pretty sure Sony wasn't being altruistic when they installed that rootkit... It sounds like both companies are at fault... Sony more than Apple, because I don't think crappy transcodes are exactly a security breach of any sort. But what do I care? I get my music videos thru IRC anyway.
Live performance of plays as fair use, just because it's at a school!? Hah!
We have to pay the same royalties as anyone else does for a 1000 seat theatre. Occasionally, we can beg the company to give us a discount, but really... do you think schools charge $15 a ticket because we want to?
In this case, you can just as easily use military power to enforce it. Think about the mafia... they don't go around suing guys for ripping off $100,000... they break their legs.
A video game requires a controller... this is a new low, slashdot.
But quite seriously, I'd assume they'd be using the wiimote for some sort of pseudo sword combat system... doesn't seem like it's that much of a suprise.
Fixed size layouts, without exception, are a true sign that CSS, as a layout standard, is fucked up.
Fixed size CSS layouts are the easiest way to get a website that looks decent on all web browsers, without using significantly more bandwidth/processing power/man-hours to create a system that dynamically rescales images to fit a percentage based layout.
Table layouts (fixed or scalar), on the other hand, are a sign that the designer should be dragged into the street and shot. Ever tried to load one of those in lynx?
This falls under fair use people... it's format shifting, just like the companies that advertise bulk CD to mp3 conversion.
Nothing to see here...just a big company getting involved in a new market.

Using your analogy, the law clearly states that the provider of the hammers is absolved of all responsibility, unless he specifically intended the hammers to be used for acts of vandalism/violence (a hard thing to prove.)
As a matter of fact, the crowd who shares their wi-fi is in the same boat. ISPs cannot be held responsible for their user's actions, even if they're ad-hoc ISPs.
Quite the opposite. I think the best defense is a good offense, however, guns are not defensive. You can use it defensively, but it's purpose is to propel a piece of lead thru another person's body at a high rate of speed. That is, by defenition, offensive... unless, of course, you also consider kicking a ball into the other team's goal a defensive action because it keeps the ball out of your goal.;)
Easy, it's called SheepShaver... Uses SDL, compiles for basically all *nix systems. And, as a bonus, you get rid of all those crappy little quirks Apple introduced with their classic envrionment.
Anyway, to be quite honest, MacOS 9 was a piece of shit from the start and anyone who still relies on it for any serious work deserves to be... I'll let you fill in the blank. (That said, I still use a 68k mac with 7.6.1 to handle IRC and various other small things... Viva la motorola!)
> but making the firearm near useless as a defense tool
Sorry, guns have NEVER been a defensive tool. Either you shoot someone with it (offensive) or you get shot holding it (stupid). It's not a shield...
Guns are, and were always intended to be, an offensive weapon. Until you show me one with an included forcefield generator or some crap like that, I'd rather give some mugger my wallet than pull a pistol on him.
Um... sorry, that's a common fallacy, but not one supported by the current statistics, much less Nintendo's company policy.
Nintendo Corp. never ships game units at or below cost. As a matter of fact, IIRC, the xbox is the only system to have ever been sold below cost, and that's because microsoft put a whole effing PC in there. (Although Halo was a good multiplayer game...)
Slashdot Mirror
The goons give out free frigates, cruisers,and even, IIRC, HACs to anyone that asks, so yeah, you couldn't be more wrong.
This is why I like that, in Pennsylvania, institutions are billed for the cost of a false alarm. A minimum of $500 per incident.
It's amazing how common sense prevails when there's money involved.

We'd have a caption like this: No CLI. Less space than a harddrive. Lame.
Qemu. They don't run it on real hardware most times.
In my pocket, and my father's pocket, and in most of my friend's pockets. Palm is doing rather well in the PDA market.

A quick search for both John Stewart, ans Steven Colbert turns up around 4000 clips. It appears they only nuked shows, not individual clips.
Same goes for southpark... unless you speak german, in which case, the shows are still available.

They've had that for awhile now. Just type the urls in the home page box, seperated by a | character.

Hmm... my HP 48G calculator has been running on the same 3 AAAs since December... and before that, the AAAs were in a LED flashlight.
Sounds pretty good for alkaline bateries. (But, then again, HP had some genuis engineers before they killed their calculator division.)
