It'd work great in open plan places like airports though. Replacing kilometres of AV cable to the information screens with a handful of wireless transmitters is a Good Thing.
the difference of course is that the hybrids we've created (since the dawn of agriculture) ...can't be used to extort licence fees from you if they accidentally cross-pollinate into your own crops.
If a web page specifies Arial, you still get Arial. The problem with web pages that specify arial is that it usually comes in the I'm-a-Frontpage-using-retard form of "arial,helvetica,sans-serif" which inflicts a bitmap helvetica font on anyone using a standard X11 install.
It won't be long before third world countries have better technology infrastructure than we, and unfortunately, we the consumer will foot the bill. Depending on how broad your definition of third world country is, many already do.
Oh and one more little thing.....our new motion-sensitive remotes will work on your XBox AND your Windows PC. Wow, you mean just like my wiimote works with ut2004?
No reason to go out and buy more of the same then.
A better idea would be to just use a connectionless transport like UDP or something (though if you opt for "something" that pretty much rules out windows).
As for consumer-grade options, I can't answer that, it just seems that no PC component company wants to make a CC interface Problem solved. Next excuse?
It means the spammers register a bunch of domain names to spam in their emails, and rotate the zombie PC IP they're pointing to every few minutes. Makes it harder to shut down.

Looks like it'd fit just fine to me.
And if it's running NT, I suspect you'll be inheriting very quickly.
They remind me of kerneltrap. You really have to see some of those windows forum threads for yourself, I can't even begin to describe them in words.

The reason we're not talking about what he said here is that /.'s covered it a thousand times already.
Just erase all trace of Viacom from the internet. They get what they want, and so do we (they stop existing, hopefully offline too).
Better for IBM to keep it. After all, they have the means to enforce it.
The vera/dejavu fonts are nice, but I prefer Terminus since it looks good without relying on antialiasing (i.e. doesn't kill scrolling speed).
On the other hand, there should be little moral objection if they were to do this on lawyers.
Not surprising. My onboard sound needed a 30MB (?!?) download for XP - and on an OEM machine at that.

Not if I just block the 0.5% of people using vista to access my site and tell them to upgrade and/or fuck off.
Sounds more like Windows' shrink-wrap EULA. Which has been struck down as unenforcable.
Why didn't they just put a torrent tracker on the official site? The bandwidth overload problem is _exactly_ what BT was designed to solve.
I don't think anything's going to curb the problem, short of a full-scale military invasion of russia and china.
Hey, now there's an idea... if we start labelling spammers as terr'ists something might get done about it.
You mean like this?
I just realised this game is a Turing Test. Any sentient creature with a sense of self-preservation would pass it.
The next version of flash supposedly includes h264 support, which is miles better than the codec they're using now.

It's lossless if the audio was a digital signal to begin with, though.
