Well I hope you are right, but when Apple introduces a virtualization solution, I can already see hundreds of PHB going "Let's stop porting our apps for Apple. Oh, we still support them alright. We're just not cozy with all of their special royal wishes and give them all they want, but who does nowadays? The 80-20 rule rules here.". And he yanks those ports.
I'm really very sure that this will happen eventually, if Apple odes virtualization. Oh well, let's wait and see:-)
That's probably the reason why Apple won't release a virtualization solution, ever: Make it possible to run Windows, but make it complicated enough (having windows a save-everything-and-reboot away kinda works, but it's not for regular use), so people will mostly stay inside OS X.
Now with a virtualization solution, Apple would really be in trouble. OS/2 trouble, that is. People switching mac-win-mac all the time really removes any incentive to port an app to the mac.
Hey, why the strange email format? Hemos email is hemos@slashdot.org . Let's write it correctly so that our friends from the spiced pork and meat front can join in with the congratulatory messages!:-)
Yes, but it's more secure than other keys, because the only way to attack it is to steal the keys before the time that the quasar is monitored. If an attacker discovers the keys afterwards, the key is useless.
I don't get that. You could just record all quasars, then get a key and take a look into your archive and presto - there's the one-time pad of the other party. Right?
Exactly. That's why it works well with podcasting, where people don't need to have a file immediately, because the subscribe. Multicast an episode every 30 minutes and everybody gets the full episode daily with much less bandwith problems.
How about if the major ISPs finally get their act together and allow Multicast on their networks? For podcasts and videopodcasts with thousands subscribers, this would cut bandwith costs by huge factors.
You said: And FireWire is going to be around for quite some time
Dave, isn't it kind of wrong if show proof of your theories by linking to a site that you have written yourself? I just have a strange feeling that something is not quite right there.
Just wanted to add this: It's pretty easy to block a server quickly in many countries with a provisional injunction (at least it's easy in most european countries). But as soon as such an injunction has to cross a national border, it becomes much more tricky. So the distributed nature of the internet has made it easier to keep information out there (or more difficult to stop info, whatever is your view point), and this principle is what we can see at work here.
Hurray for US free speech rights, now automatically exported to every other nation on the planet*. (*exceptions apply for walled China, Saudi Arabia and Tunesia...)
the german wikipedia (which is under Jimmy's control) was never down, only the site www.wikipedia.de (under control of a german club), which normally redirected to the former, and is still down now. So, everybody who remembers the "real" wikipedia address can still use wikipedia without any problems.
I suspect this is merely an oversight on their part, and that it just ends up looking bad when you view it from the outside. The only way to know is to see the source code and well, we know how likely that is.
Actually, wasn't the windows 2k sourcecode leaked like a year ago or something? Now would be a good time to have a look at it again...
Actually, animation with talking people is always done by recording the voices first. It helps tremendously with the timing if you have a great voice recording to begin with. There is some ADR done, but it always starts with recording the voices first. Exceptions might be Tom&Jerry, where there is very few dialogue (apart from Tom's yelling when he gets split in half etc.). But all Disney features, Pixar features, Sony features, Shorts by Disney, Hanna-Barbara and many more are done by recording the voices first.
Creating an account takes before creating an article adds about 5 seconds for a user. I can't see how this will help prevent this scenario again. However, I could imagine that this idea ("Best approach?") would help a lot.
Aperture is meant to replace both Lighttable _and_ darkroom. After all, that's where all the workflow enhancements come from: that you only have to use 1 application instead of two.
I think you nailed the central problem: Unless MS also outlines an open process how new features are implemented to these Office Formats, they will still be perceived as "closed" because the world of office users will keep looking towards Microsoft for "guidance to the future" instead of looking towards a standard comittee for future changes.
Tell us, please, why would the Fairplay mechanism not work on a phone with more than 100 songs? This makes no sense, if you have memory for 100+ songs, you probably also have enough memory to store the drm keys for those songs. It really just doesn't make any sense why Fairplay would be the reason for this limit.
Since your theory makes no sense, here's a different way to read this article:
The Motorola team soon discovered that working with Apple means making compromises. [...] It couldn't hold more than 100 songs
Which is probably what theappleblog thought when they proclaimed the theory that Apple indeed just pulled the limitation out of thin air. I mean, c'mon, "100 songs" sound very much like a limitation invented by humans. "128 songs" would be a technological limit, no?
Can anybody say whether "The Warden" could detect anything if WoW would run inside a virtual machine and the forbidden tools would run outside this virtual machine? It could probably not do anything, while a well programmed tool could peek inside the vm-memory, detect what's going on and deliver key presses and mouse clicks invisbly, rendering all of Blizzard's efforts moot, right? So, is there already such a tool there?
When you try to persuade other people of your ideas, you normally try to explain what's so great and keep your personal problems, rants and unhappyness to yourself. I can tell you why Xanadu won't take off: Mr. Nelson isn't humble enough. "Oh yes, I invented this and that".
I read all of this, and I still don't get it. If you can't explain you ideas in that huge amount of words, maybe your concept is too complicated and nobody wants it? Maybe simplicity won for a reason?
We have those in switzerland too. The first generation was credit card sized, and now the second generation is even tinier, goes well with your keys. The dongle doesn't has a button to show the number, so you should have it lying around in a urban area. Apart from that, I like it pretty much, it's just 3 things: Account number, password, and a 7 digit number from that dongle.

Both sides say their plans would benefit consumers.
Well, why don't they just try them both out, then we know who's right?
Indeed it is. Why doesn't Amit Singh add a date to his articles? An article about a changing technology without a date is practically worthless...

As far as I know, Auguste Piccard flew up to 23000 m in the 1930s. So how is this 21,290m a new record?

What about Multiple-input multiple-output? I hear it's the hottest topic in wireless research at the moment and looks very promising.

iPod halo effect, was nice meeting you. Now you're dead.
WP:TOOLS is a page like every other wiikipedia page. How do they make sure that this links stays on top if it's editable?
Heck, I could just go there and add this link now, why this partnership and press release?
