the concept of 'intelligence' can not be bundled together with various other stuff and be grounds for a copyright. Real has to define clear methods that has never been used or copyrighted before. They are putting forward vague concepts to get a copyright to create an income from streaming. Another bad joke made to people of the net.
Nigh on impossible. That would mean immediate ban on u.s. software commodities in europe. The german crowd would like it very much and would immediately fill in the gap with open source stuff though.
Besides, do you need to play the latest and greatest FPS-clone at 1600x1200x75fps to have a good time? People like you, will never be happy.
You see, as a matter of fact i believe that 800x600 resolution to play games is quite enough, 1024x768 is the climax. Maybe this is why i was able to happily play on for this long with the setup i have.
I just want to make the optimal choice. Had it been 1.5 years earlier, it was simple - there werent too much technology around. Now there is a transition, and it makes things harder.
I always seek to be able to upgrade my cpu/graphics card/ram for one more time on any motherboard i buy before i have to change the mobo too.
Well, how many people there are filesharing in the world ? 500-600 million ? In u.s. ? 1-2 Million ?
is it so that these 'corporate interests' and their henchmen are so low in iq to understand that THESE people are 'the people' concept that are mentioned in the declaration of independence, human rights declaration and such ?
Dont they just get the fact that WE are the voters ? Who can vote them outta office/power ? eh ?
Or are we just too passive and easily suppressable to hold on to our rights ?
Well as a matter of fact the other pc is for gaming/general purposes. you know that games are generally very demanding on resources, especially graphics. I have been told that if i wasnt on amd 2500+ barton 333 and nvidia nforce2, i would have been needy of upgrade a long time ago. thus what i want to do is to pick something that will take me 2-3 years in comfort, like the last config did.
Well as a matter of fact i cant be sure ; RDRAM was told to be better than ddr, however due to market being unwilling to pay big bucks on rdram sticks ddr stuck out. What if i get a pci-e card&mobo and in 1 years time become stuck with non-upgradable stuff ?
I still think the success of gmail lies in its simple interface and the fact that there is google behind it - a much more trusted internet presence than microsoft
If Gmail, Google Maps, Amazon, Flickr, etc. are all implementing AJAX,
All these are in big need of distributing the load on their servers to outside - ie the client pcs. This means big operational expense cuts for them. I dont think that a publishing site with 1 million monthly uniques would need to take such measures.
Its 'new breakthrough' time in the hardware industry again and time for a new 'upgrade chain horror' episode.
I have a wonderfully performing amd 2500 + barton 333, asus nvidia nforce 2 motherboard, 512 kingston 400 ddr ram, asus fx 5200 magic (! it performs quite well with this setup) a seagate ide 7200 barracuda 60 gig hd, a sb live (6 years old and performs very well) machine running as a game machine.
I was able to play most of the recent power-demanding game titles quite easy, lowering the settings in a few only - like star wars galaxies, x2 the threat etc.
However now the situation is that, if i want to upgrade ANY of the components in this box, im going to have to do a full upgrade. see :
If i want to change the graphics card, the pci-e thing is up, to hold for a few years i have to buy a pci-e supporting mobo. And that means a new cpu too, and vice versa - if i want to change the cpu, i have to get a new mobo, and will have to get a pci-e graphics card to fit in it. As the way things are going most mobos ship with serial ata support, so i have to change the hard disk too, if i do not choose to pick a 'supports both formats' mobo.
And even in that case there is no guarantee that it will hold for 1-2 years, as the cpu market is moving to double core cpus now, 64 bit thing is already up and so on and such.
Its the geek's ultimate horror - total upgrade time !
Europe has less space in its cities (cities being old, from medieval times and hence been made with tightly packed narrow streets to aid defence, and complex like maze) and many people. They started using smaller cars first, then they started to use mass transport more and more. (in fact they always used it keenly). I think that the congestion is unavoidable for any nation that tends to use cars to commute - on average 2 person for 1 car, around 2 seats going to waste. I believe we should demand that mass transport should be made more luxurious and more common and start using it.
Kill a man, you get 20 years in jail. 'Steal' 20 bucks worth of software, you get 10.
People should be made pass an iq test before being admitted into congress or legal services. It is apparent that many of the 'lawmakers' do not have any tint of the sense of 'proportionality'.
We should see these as humanity heritage

I mean no joke ! Isnt it a fact that generations have grown up playing these titles and these titles have set the way for the game industry, defined its route to be ? Isnt gaming entertainment industry a huge sector in the world right now ? So what do these games lack to be an initiator, a pioneer of major development in technology like sawing machines once did for textile ?
Isnt it plain stupidity to let these titles last code be deleted in some old hard drive ?
Well, it seems that after some 50 years or so, we wont be able to use any shape, image, saying, metaphor or the like without consulting an intellectual property expert and acquiring appropriate rights, the way things going.
Today the channels just coincide their ad breaks at the same time so that if you zap a channel you are caught by ads in another channel until you zap out only to be caught by yet some different ad in another channel. There is not much difference it seems, albeit the freezing thing is totally inacceptible.
EU does not like liberties and free market ideals lightly and there are many philosopical minded people in its governing bodies. Case is a foregone conclusion - they will whack MS down. That will not be the end of it either.
Periodically web becomes accessible by new medium, like the WAP and upcoming new tech. Even if we were able to pass the new fancy standards to desktop and laptop pcs on the web, the new mediums will need more time until they become powerful to take on these fancy stuff easily. Which, if you think, is much visitors lost - and that is much lost potential for expansion of the web that would have been realized quicker. As it stands now the new gadgetry can keep up what we already have on the web, but if we juice our sites up, this might change. Still, it might be wiser to refrain from pumping up the sites yet.
Well indeed you have a valid point in there. As these countries develop within themselves there will be increasing demand for developers there too. That will take some time i think however, as in india the it sector has been developed rather artifically by much government investment and initiative. So the it sector in india is rather flying on thin air in their native market - country still is underdeveloped in many sectors. So they serve abroad.
microsoft should make a patch to patch themselves. else they will get in an infinite loop of patches while patching the next generation of patch-needy o/s they are going to put out:)

Well another yet-to-come anti-terror success, way better than any legislation u.s./british governments passed.

Had this been in europe, EMI and 'fellas' would be within one stone's throw from being hanged now, metaphorically.
Talk about proving an o/s ! Now Linux needs to be tested under Mars conditions only.
i agree that $39.99 for any old title would be highway robbery, not a sale.
u.s. may not be a fascist regime, however it is clear that the current crowd in power in u.s. is turning it to one step by step
