The python script crashes my Windows 7 RC machine (build 7100) at work quite nicely. I should mention that I needed to add "import socket" and change "s = socket()" to "s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)". My software firewall is turned off as well.
If the policy is the same as Amazon's MP3 store, you are paying for the "license" to read a book and therefore you don't own the book. Likewise, I don't own any of my MP3's from Amazon--I just have a license to listen to it. And I'm sure Amazon holds the right to terminate a license anytime for any reason. It's just now they have the technical ability to do this on every Kindle device out there.
I haven't been to a LAN party in about 10 years. It's really easy to get the same experience nowadays with broadband and a microphone. I don't see the point in hauling all my computer stuff over to a friends house when now I can just hop on Steam and round up a few people and play Left 4 Dead. 10 years ago when we were all playing Starcraft and Quake II, there was a definite need for LAN parties since we all had slow 33.6/56K dial-up internet which made multiplayer games extremely slow.
I am pretty sure that if you delete your PlayOnline ID you won't be able to use the code on your game again, and would have to buy a new boxed copy. It's not unreasonable to think that aztektum might of done this accidentally when he canceled his subscription. At least that how it was when I played the game when it first was released in North America.
If you RTFA, you will find that Manomio contacted Apple Europe before developing the app and they "seemed really excited". So here we have yet another developer wasting time and money just to have Apple reject another application despite approving others that do the same thing. I really hope Manomio decides to port his C64 app to the Android instead so some of us can enjoy it.
I think this is a great thing for Cisco. Okay, so nobody will buy their servers for regular stuff. But they will buy Call Manager servers and the like. At work we have 3 Cisco servers that are re-branded IBM boxes. One is for our Unity voicemail system and the other two are for Callmanager. When there are hardware issues, I need to call Cisco who then calls IBM to fix it. I think from a support perspective, it would be a huge benefit to actually MAKE the servers you are supporting that way support requests get processed more efficiently. Cisco doesn't just have IBM servers either, they have HP as well so that would be two vendors that they don't need to deal with anymore for support.
It would be nice if us international folks could buy an online-only UK television license and be able to stream shows from BBC's website and Channel 4 On Demand. But until then, a UK shell account and a SOCKS proxy over a SSH tunnel would suffice for now.
Pirates? I would be more afraid of oceanographers.
Vladimir Wolodarsky: Steve, one of the interns just fell down the stairs with the main tracking processor.
Steve Zissou: All right, just make sure we steal the backup.
While I am all for more small and fuel efficient cars here, a $14K price tag seems like a bit too much. Why would someone spend that much on a car when they can get 4 door Toyota Corolla for around the same price with the same fuel efficiency? I would think that the $10K range would be more reasonable.
I really don't see this catching on. I don't think businesses are ready to ditch their tried and true tape libraries for a brand new technology that hasn't been proven in the enterprise yet. It makes much more sense to buy a nice LTO autoloader which can be had for $3000-5000, and 400GB/800GB tapes are around $60 a pop. Tapes can be long lasting given that they are stored correctly.
If these holographic drives can reach more competitive price levels, to the point where it's cheaper than an LTO system then we can talk.
I bought a new car last year and really wanted a hybrid. The Prius base price at $22K was too expensive for me and I ended up getting a cheap $14K Hyundai. If Toyota made a Corolla Hybrid in the $15K range, I would trade in my car tomorrow. The Corolla already gets around 40 MPG highway, I could imagine it would get at least 50 MPG highway if it were hybrid. Right now, there doesn't seem to be any hybrids for budget buyers like myself.

I like how they put the only one in Chicago in arguably one of the worst areas of the city. Brilliant marketing job there guys!
