  2. Re:Closed system == evil on Wifi Camera Uploads without Computer · · Score: 1

    This is not a closed system. The card is like any other camera's card. You can use it on your home computer or any system that has a card reader. The wireless is 802.11b which allows access to ANY 802.11b wireless network.

  3. Delayed for 3 months??? on Apple Delays New iMac · · Score: 1

    It doesn't make any sense for Apple to have such a large hole in their lineup.

    I wonder what the forthcoming line of computers will be named. iHub? inHome?

    Announcement Tuesday.

  4. Not your face! on Graphical Manipulation - Beheaded and Sold? · · Score: 1

    If your face can't be made out in a photo it can legally be used. It applies to you as the subject or you in a crowd. As long as your face is not displayed or distinguishable, it's okay to use as long as the photographer gave permission to use it even though you know it's your body. IANAL though so check with one.

    Wozniac presented his first computer that became the Apple I to HP. They declined so he was free to do what he wanted with it.

    "troup of Godless men"

    From the Declaration of Independence:

    When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...

    Godless, I think not.

  8. Re:Do not give in to the dark side on A Good Summer Read? · · Score: 1

    Hacking is not bad. Hacking in it's original meaning is more about the love of computing rather than the dark and sinister meaning that the "mainstream media" has given it. What you are thinking of is "cracking" or breaking into a computer system to do damage or not simply because you can.

    Go forth and hack. It is good for us.

    Read about it here:

  9. Re:No matter how many times I read it... on More on the PowerPC 970 · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is still a PPC chip. No changes to programs are necessary for them to run on it. The only change that will have to be made is if a software vendor decides to run in 64-bit mode which many don't have to do. Performance of the new chip is not dependent on whether the program runs at 32 or 64 bits. This is not a migration like moving from the 680x0 line of processors to the PPC which was an overall change in architecture.

    Right you are! I was just making the point that the BSA is HIGHLY motivated to aggressively go after violators.

    Revenues collected by the BSA stay with the BSA. None of it goes to members.
  14. Re:about the video cards... on New Power Mac G4s Announced · · Score: 1

    The newer G4 machines have a VGA and a DVI connector. Each are capable of independent video. Apple sells a DVI-VGA display adapter for $19. (PN - M8754G/A) With it the single card can support two monitors.
