How is its speed? Last time I looked at it its speed lagged significantly behind, say, that of Quake 2 / 3 games for some visually comparable scenes, even with hardware acceleration...
Because such a device will need a lot of power to operate (disc spinner + class 1 LASER) while you don't need a lot of power to read and write to an MMC card?
I've done something like this. With the right tools, you'll get information so adequate that function names are no longer needed.
I remember cracking something over the phone with someone who knows nothing about making his own crack on the other side. I asked him to download the debugger, disassemble, asked him for certain clues...and the program was cracked in 20 minutes from start (downloading the debugger) to finish (verifying the patch works).
It's THAT easy. Bad protection is worse than no protection at all.

With soft money contributions still legal, I cannot see any difference, can you? I honestly belive if the RIAA wanted to make it a death penalty for breaking the DMCA they would have succeeded.
Please realize that traditional contract needs signing of both parties, while UCITA would make "click-thru" or "open the wrap and you agree" contracts legal binding.
It makes the game a lot different - if you put stupid clauses in a traditional contract, sure they're legal, but I can disagree and walk away without signing. It is effortless.
To disagree with UCITA contracts you'll have to jump thru hoops like refunding, calling, etc.
That's why we think the UCITA would need more protection from stupid clauses.
The WHO is trying to extend the research of Chinese scientist Dr. Alex Chiu to develop a device to make its owner never perish. The Ch*r*h of **ientology announced a similar program in 2000. One step closer to human immortality or just more sci-fi jive?
I thought a copyright act should only protect copyright, or in the case of DMCA, methods to protect copyright!!
Region coding has nothing to do with "copyright" at all, just a lame money grabbing scheme!! Why should the DMCA protect it?
The word in the law is "protect access to copyrighted works".
What "Access"? So if a publisher put glues on the CD cover so it sticks to your hand, is washing the glue off and throwing it away a circumvention and thus breaks the law?
This "Access" thing has to be more unambigously defined! It should REALLY be changed to "protect reproduction access to copyrighted works"!! What's so hard to understand? Let's make a case to change the word in the law!
Well, not exactly, but something using the same principle to effectively antialias and dispeckle your pictures. It only works with a tripod and a static scene.
First, take a few identical pictures of the same scene.
Then, superimpose them in your favorite photo editor.
e.g. if you take 5 pictures, you can decrease the brightness each to 20%, then add them together, or take a fractal sum average, say the first picture contributes 50%, the second 25%, the third 12.5% etc.
The results are usually very impressive, especially for older cameras.
Yes. It looks like Sony and most media is spinning the result of the case.
Sony's doing it for obvious propaganda reasons.
And the media is just doing what it has always been doing - I mean c'mon, "Guy prosecuted for selling pirated CD" was not newsworthy even 10 years ago.
No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that -
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing protection afforded by a technological measure that effectively protects a right of a copyright owner under this title in a work or a portion thereof;
Does the defeat of REGION CODING circumvent the copyright protection? No. It only circumvents an internationally illegal business practice.
I'll say, break it away. Sites that distributes software like DVDGenie never got prosecuted under the DMCA. Why? Because they have a case: region coding is NOT copyright protection.
Practically, Cg is less useful than RenderMonkey because it is readily integrated into popular graphics packages.
However, there are some pretty good potential there, to make a Cg plugin for everything under the sun.
Controlling the Shader Language standard is almost as important as making a better video card, as you'll have a feature set your competitors have to follow - if Cg becomes the most popular language, then NVidia can say on their marketing material "GeForce 10: 100% Cg compatible, Radeon 50000: only supports 80%".
Yeah. 90 horsepowers because of the POS diesel sold in North America. High quality diesel is widely available in EU and people have been running V6 diesel engines putting 180 bhp and 200+ lbft of torque. (that's a VW engine).
A chipped Euro TDI would be nose to nose to a chipped North America 1.8T (2002 or not) - and the TDI can run twice the distance on the same amount of fuel.
I'm a 1.8T owner and proud of it (it responds better with intake and exhaust upgrade, for example), but the TDI is not bad at all - if I lived in Europe I might have got the diesel though.
Even a North America TDI would be enough for city driving tho. As you only make use of the torque most of the time. It's only when you go onto Interstates (or tracks) then horsepower becomes important.

Please patch before sending it to me. Thanks in advance.
It is about embedding a linux-powered PC inside a car. The project is improving everyday - if you're interested, please take a good look. Very interesting stuffs.
ICAP was the precursor of CAP, and is not part of the iCalendar-related specification anymore.
The newest incarnation of the iCalendar server protocol CAP is built on top of BEEP, and has an SQL-like query language that far exceeds the capabilities of ICAP.

For what's worth, please reconsider your wording. In no sense is card counting "cheating".

For the British, 1 cent ~ 0.7 pence. Alright?

Good tips. How about stored procedure searches that returns rows without jumping thru hoops and reselect with the OID's?

I'm still waiting for day when people tell me that the flaws in my programs are in fact, valid...

iDen is just a network type. i.e. it fits into the set {GSM, CDMA, TDMA, 1XCDMA, GPRS...}

Ware your brief!
My guess is, he HAS to accept he's guilty of that too.
Imagine Sony / RCMP saying "You are guilty of selling pirated CD's AND mod chips. If you plead guilty of both charges, you'll not go to jail".
What would you do, protest that mod chips are not legal? Come on. You've broken the law by selling pirated CD's - they already have you by the balls.
Yes. It looks like Sony and most media is spinning the result of the case.

In no way the 8088 is "32 bit".
It is a 8086 "SX" if that makes it easier to understand. In fact, the 386 SX and the 386 DX has the exact same relationship as the 8088 and 8086.
