Psh! People! I don't know what the fuss is all about "Raid 5". You should be using Raid 2! Superior performance, and amazing redundancy!
Of course, the cost IS a little prohibitive...
So you paid Microsoft for software you won't use! I think we just found Microsoft's new marketing strategy! If you keep the software SO BAD that no one will use it... every sale is just pure profit!
You just contradicted yourself. "...those acoustic vibrations just doesn't "move" from one thing to another through space." If sound can't move in space, then there is no sound in space, only in the object that are in space, and those objects are not space.
I get your point. Market share, music store, ect.
But let me get this straight... you diss the PSP for being too expensive compared to an Ipod once you deck it out so it can have decent storage... so you spend even MORE money so you can have both, at the worst cost-effectiveness combination possible.
That's not all that would be required. A firmware hack? Some software? A lot harder for the average consumer than just downloading DVDShrink and popping in a DVD.
I see your point. Burning home movies. Existing players. Yes, this hardware would make it more expensive, but if the computer discs were burned in a clockwise direction, while the movies were burned in an anti-clockwise direction, and movie players could read both... well, my point is, you could easily set up some sort of hardware difference between commercial discs and burnable discs so that you can burn them, and still have them both read by a movie player, while not letting the commercial movies to be read by a computer.
Personally, I am against DRM. In fact, I kinda like how these methods are breakable.
I think i was just commenting that these companies aren't really thinking DRM that well, and that there are mush better, consumer friendly models that they could adopt. (though no DRM is still better, IMO)
If any of these companies were smart about DRM when they're designing these systems, they could simply invoke some sort of hardware DRM. Like spinning the discs the other way so that they can't be read by computers. Data clockwise, Movies/music anti-clockwise.
I don't see how they can think that they can keep static information locked up easily if it can be read by every somputer.
...the current month's rates for energy in my neighborhood are 2.2 cents/kWh for the first 800 kWh and 1.2 cents/kWh after.
Up here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, we pay 6 cents a Kilowatt, and then 8 cents for every Kilowatt after 750 (plus a ton of "service" charges). Funny how it's higher, and reversed.
Since this projectile is travelling so fast, and it's arc is only very slight, couldn't you jsut put a small "thruster" or even a small wing on it to keep it in a straight line for the laster, instead of this massively complicated multiple-laster-tracking-at-mach-23 machine?
Why is there all this talk about "lines going to your car" and safety? "Pumps" probably won't actually be pumping anything, but rather probably swapping out these capacitors, to keep it safe for the consumer.
Not only will that eliminate the problem of having a 2 foot wire needed for that "5 minute recharge" because they could spend longer charging a capasitor, but it would also allow "fuel pumps" to stockpile capacitors for peak fueling times, reducing the need for massive infrastucture changes, or at least reducing those changes.
Holy wow Im a freak! I was sitting about 18 feet away from an eye chart and I could read the bottom row. It was labelled 20/7 and supposed to be read from 15 feet away.

I use them all the time on my phone. Google maps is very handy, same with gmail.
Heh, It might have been google maps, or gmail for mobile, or google web translator, or google SMS, or google web search, or....

I use my TI-89 Titanium all the time on tests. And I live in Canada too.
Couldn't this printer print a copy of itself? That would be incredibly cool.
uh, plasmas wouldn't save you heating either. You're paying the same if you're heating with electricity, anyways.
Interesting. I need my windows apps, and don't have money for a new comp. Where can i get that on a Win XP machine?
But you must admit, getting an object to 0.35 K from 3 K is a lot easier than bringing it from 300 K.

That's just not true. No air means no transfer of energy therefore no sound is generated.

Theoretically, LEDs can become 100% efficient at converting electricity into light. Perhaps they mean't moore's law, until the physical limit?

Given my state of dept, my weight would be about negative 20 oz. Easiest way to lose weight!

You should then get an AGP and PCI-E mobo. They arent that much more expensive.
Yes... I'm glad you recognised my "some are more equal than others" quote.
