Instead of canceling it, they could create a huge media event around it. They are after all the ones to even offer comercialized space tourism, if that is not something to be proud of. In the beginning they might have done it out of desperation, but if they wanted they could bring it to the next level now. Too bad really, to have misplaced national pride get in the way, but I guess Putin stands for backwards thinking with long passed national values (which he imprints on on his citizens). Too bad really.
It is actually not difficult to find a laptop with a matte screen these days. Most brands sell them in their business line (except Sony), glossy is left for the consumer line usually. On the downside though, business laptops rarely have dedicated 3D graphic chips so it's not a real choice for a gamer.
I think a link to the actual Flock website would have been appropiate in the summary: http://flock.com/
This is not my kind of toy, but it will be interesting so see if this will take of in the mainstream.
True, and it is really not necessary to pass all mail. In my experience weeding out mal-configured mail servers (i use postfix rules and greylisting) takes care of over 90% of spam. The rest gets caught by an RBL or tagged by spamassassin and sent to the users spam folder. Things may change any day though depending on future strtegies by spam senders, but at the moment it works quite nicely.
This is NOT Ok. A DJ (or more likely the venue he performs at) already pays royalties for publicly performing canned music. This new rule specifically covers for example ripping a CD to mp3 to be used with computer based DJing software. Doing that is solely for convenience of the DJ and does not make anonyone more money. Except now of course for the ARIA.
Let's hope that the mainstream media picks up on the insanely obvious corruption involved here, and the Streisand Effect kicks in. Let me make a prediction: they won't.
Please, let this be an Aprils fools joke.
That's why I stopped playing id's games when John Romero left. He was(is?) an amazing level designer. In my opinion that is even more important to enjoying a game than great gfx or physics. It's not that Quake's levels sucked, but they weren't anything special either.
Personnaly I am much more concenered with the fact that the ISP might track and store my surfing habits than the fat that i will ahve ads on my screen (i do already). And AdBlock won't help me there unfortunatly. If this really does ever happen I will have to surf the web proxied only.
It's the same here in the EU and these days its actually not a big hassle to re-import a car, The car manufacturers of course did not like that and tried to prevent dealerships from re-importing cars. It went before the EU courts and now the law is clear, re-imports are perfectly good.
I don't think Apple is really looking to forcefully increase their marketshare and become mainstream. What is most important is profit per sale and they are doing mighty well on that front.
Also, all the ip addresses i did a lookup on, resolved to a dynamic host address so it looks like the infected machines are distributing the storm files themselfs to new victims with no central distributing server to shut down.
Basically the judge also found that it is not sufficient to only refer to a URL to access the source code and license text . This would be fine if the software product itself was also distribited over the internet, but in any other case that is not sufficient. I am not sure if the court specified what would be a sufficient means to enable access to the source code. It really baffles me that a company is knowledeable enough to take a advantage of GPL software to develop their own product but tries to weasel out of provinding something as simple as the source code changes and give credit to the other developers. It is not like it's asking for much.
That is true but should all be still hoping for a comeback of AMD. No one really wants the early 90s back where Intel ruled the block with no competitor, but high prices and complete control of if and when raise x86 CPU speeds to the next iteration. There is a reason why Intel still fights them tooth and nail. There where others before AMD but it's the only and first successful competitor in the x86 space for Intel. Imagine if there where only ATI or Nvida.

As I am sure you can guess, he probably meant to type mW.

First useful comment for this article. Thank you!

Maybe they really meant greylisting when they said delay. That would explain why your mail went through without wait.

And all along I was most impressed by the fact that they hacked a firmware version that hadn't been released yet.

There ought to be some kind of common carrier type of regulation to prevent this kind of intrusive data mining and tracking.
I know you people are really just waiting for Soylent Green to arrive.
Correct, in this office we still use Word 97 and Autocad 2000 and we are, believe it or not, productive.

These ran on german network-tv a while back, in german. I guess a fan dubbed a few of the episodes.

There is also Python for Symbian so could imagine BitTornado working there as well.
