Nortel here in Calgary, AB uses this to create models of new products -- I've seen a plastic phone face for a Meridian (those pay phones with screens) that was done this way.. it lets them check out things like packaging and handling before the product is in production without giving everyone the more expensive working prototype -- yes it's actually cheaper too.

Most likely they'll use ATA100 drives. If you don't recall, from UDMA33 and up (UDMA66, ATA100), the cpu doesn't have to 'wait' on the drive like before. The controller can transfer directly to RAM and the CPU can occupy itself elsewhere, at least if it's a multitasking system.

You actually should say Americans, since in all of North AMERICA we mostly use US versions: trunk, gas.... however we do use the UK spelling sometimes in Canada, but we're sensible enough to use the right words....
This doesn't mean that well done fakes can not have flaws that can be detected. I think it'll be a long time before we get to that point.
Irregardless, if you're an underground opposition group opposed to an oppresive government, you'd like to have your own propaganda to counter theirs. And if you have morals, you'd like to have real footage.
I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but, if you can't record what's broadcast, how can you prove that it ever was?
Where the US leads, the world follows. This will lead to widespread adoption if it catches on in the USA. If a government, anywhere, chooses to rewrite history so that an event 'never happened', it will be of great importance to them that news broadcasts can not be recorded.
To extend this a bit further, what if means were included to "revoke" privledges to record broadcasts after the fact, and disable existing copies? Then we'd be getting into an Orwellian nightmare.
If you read what other people are saying, FlaskMPEG is for non-encrypted DVD's only. Other people have taken it (it's GPL) and added DeCSS, but that's not something that Tom's Hardware is talking about.
With the updated story on/. that this is a mistake, that this is just code that runs on linux, and not linux source code itself: shame on/. for not having someone clickthrough the link and investigate this.

As far as I understand it, the law treats a corporation as a legal entity like a person.
So, if a company's products kill people due to negligence, why can't the company be dissolved, with the shareholders getting nothing, and damages paid for lost wages to the employees and damages paid to the victims out of the corporate assets.
If it was like this, you can bet products like TIRES would be of higher quality.
..I can see in certain controlled societies (Russia? China?) that news broadcasts would be unrecordable, so that people could not bring up inconsistencies later.

If you READ the damn articles on it, they're using the snapshots to test the imaging equipment. That is all.

From this recent kuro5hin discussion, PETA themselves would get upset about this.
Err, I guess the PETA we're talking about is here.

very good point. I just noticed this too.

What about cable isp's like @Home, Roadrunner, MediaOne? Does this apply to them.

But I find it concerning that large ISP's trust so few people from an outside company to make decisions about what mail is and isn't delivered.

Perhaps someday. I avoided mentioning this possibility since I'd just be labelled a Troll -1 for it.

The important question here is, how much RAM did each box have, and what speed? And how loaded was each box besides the test being run?
These are IMPORTANT points, but EASY to miss. RAM is extremely important for caching when you're manipulating large files.

Why not go to the hardware store and buy an extra fan like that?
