how hard is it to release source code they don't have? Pretty hard I'd say. The software side of things is handled by a third party who haven't been that great in releasing source.
It's also worth noting that it's equally illegal to use a device that doesn't comply with the GPL yet I bet all these people getting on the moral high ground because of the delays they experienced getting the source out never stopped using the device...
Anyone who's been in Jail will more than likely re-affend. Shouldn't we lock everyone up for life?
The daily Mail pretends it's a middleclass paper but it's possibly the most right wing paper in the country. It's hard to forget it's "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" headline.
It was ahead of it's time critising immigration and assylum seekers too, writing headlines companing about jewish immigration from Nazi Germany...
For UK papers to accuse someone of unethical practices.
The sloppy MMR reporting has led to a huge growth in diseases which should almost be wiped out. The Daily Mail is constantly preaching hate. I think it was the news of the world which itself helped organise what were essentially lynch squads for pedophiles who had already done their time and received adequate punishment.
Given how much data transfer costs through phones a webserver would be too expensive to be worthwhile. Even Wifi isn't cheap though most services here.
Are they allowed to do this kind of aggressive marketing in the EU? I thought there were tough laws that prevented direct comparissons between products or "xxx is 10% better than yyy".
Never seems to work when I try it for malware removal. I'm guessing the majority of regenerating malware maintain two or more independant process trees or use one of the many places in the registry where code can be executed by one of the windows components to create new trees.
you could make it admin mode only to protect it.
However there's all sorts of things you could do to prevent these viruses reproducing in a more advanced task manager. The ability to close multiple applications at the exact same time is a feature that really should already be implemented, removing a processes file editing privilages, letting you delete files in use by shutting the process down at the exact time of deletion (this one would need extensive protection though)
Isn't excessive prompts, it's a feature that can let the user stop a certain process from running. How many regenerating virii and rootkits rely of automatically running an executable the second a dodgy process is closed to make it tricky to remove? If you could identify a malicious process and prevent windows from running it in the future.
Removing virii that are running, even in safemode is a complete nightmare. A password protected feature that can prevent a process being run again the second it's closed would make the majority of agressive malware next to useless and far easier to remove. Although knowing microsoft they'll leave a security hole in and hackers will start doing things like disabling explorer.exe...
In the UK Sky who provide satelite TV send all your viewing information along the telephone line every night. Partially to get pay per view info, partially to sell your viewing info to advertisers.
If you aren't connected to a phone line or they can't get through, you get fined
wasn't there a plane crash a few years back caused by both planes trying to avoid a mid air collision actually moving into each other? A system which ensures the planes do actually move apart seems a good idea
makes you wonder how much raw computing power is locked away in the various chipsets in your PC. A 500mhz GPU designed for floating point and complex mathematical instructions could come in especially handy for encoding videos rather than just being used to apply filters during playback.
That said, if it's used in things like Seti@home I'd imagine the additional power use would have a notable effect on your electricity bill
I read somewhere that the moon actually has a 10cm atmosphere made mostly of exhaust from when lunar landers took off. Surely some of this could be converted back into oxygen and continually recycled in a greenhouse (even if they need to GM the plants to use the gas). Everytime someone lands for supplies you've got a bit more gas which can be continually recycled.
I thought the Cells performance was mediocre if you only had a single task going on at a time.
Given that scientific simulations aren't real time, it doesn't need to be hugely multithreaded as it's better for each tick/frame/etc of the simulation to be done one after the other.
I pity the guy who had to propose this...

Mars Rover Upgraded
·
· Score: 5, Funny
I could just imagine the guy from NASA who had to request the funding for this.
"so, you want to spend millions upgrading the rover?"
"yep"
"what will these millions give us?"
"it'll enable us to decide if a picture of dust is interesting or not!"
"..."
But having EVERY workplace carry out blood tests will no doubt increase the transmission of diseases that are carried in the blood between the populace as lazy empoyers use the same needle with only minor cleaning in different people to save time and money and/or are ignorant of the risks associated with re-using needles. Tatoo parlours are licenced and regularly inspected but you can't do this with every single workplace.
Then there's cotton swabs in the mouth. Could most small work places really do this in a manner where there aren't contamination issues rendering the tests almost worthless?

Wasn't this being said by nintendo even before E3?
When he wrote "The truth shall make ye fret". May have just been a typo in a newspaper but perhaps he was onto something...
Should stop imposing illegal tarrifs on goods from other countries before it starts making demands?

Until you need to do lots of floating point operations that is
the .hack series put me off of episodic gaming for good.
Until the HD versions that is

is not the noise power etc. but if it's going to die after 12 months and take your precious por...data with it.

obviously it should've said writers there. Articles rarely write themselves...
but I wish articles would stop making articles about ipods then spending most of the time talking about itunes.
