How relevant is hacking the iPhone, now that we have an SDK?
What I would like to see is a hack to get around the $99 fee to run your app on the device itself. The fee annoys me. I can understand it being there for devs that want to release their app, but what about people like me, who just want to see if I can make run on it?
I know, I know, the simulator.... that's no good. I want running on my phone!
Unreal 3 of the Playstation 3 supports USB keyboards and mice, and has options to create multiplayer games which allow or disallow people using them. I agree that it's a better input method, but that doesn't mean that you *can't play* an FPS on a console. Unreal 3 is still quite playable with a controller, too, should you want to go that route.
AFAIR, the Dreamcast Quake 3 version supported the Dreamcast keyboard and mouse also. Dreamcast players still got stomped, but I credit that more to the low frame rate and low resolution that the Dreamcast outputted than the controls.
In all cases, charging interest on money or property lended causes problems. Many economists attribute the existence of interest as the sole cause of inflation, and inflation causes all kinds of other issues. It's a slippery slope to financial ruin for an entire economy, and SecondLife was headed that way. Glad to see them do something about it before many more people lost their money.
I'm not a very religious person, but even the bible states that charging interest is akin to theft. It's simply making money you didn't make, which just isn't good.
Think sodium metal or any explosive really, that is keister stashed until the terrorist gets to the lavatory.
FYI, you've now been flagged and your every move will be watched and recorded every time you go to an airport, from here on out. Make sure you leave extra early.
Challenging the government is a very western idea. It's not something that you would ever think of doing in a Communist nation, because it's almost always meant a free ticket to your not-so-local prison.
Yet events like this keep showing up in China. They're figuring it out, and at a decent pace.
It's interesting how nicely these western ideas are showing up in China, somewhere with policies that we don't totally agree with, but still tend to be friends with (trading, not imposing sanctions, etc), yet the same ideas haven't taken hold anywhere in the middle east, where we've been actively trying to get them to change their ways.
I've been thinking about getting one of these (or maybe a zonbu) specifically to be a MythTV frontend, however I can't find any information on whether or not these things can play back 1080p HDTV streams. Obviously the C7 processor can't do it on it's own, but the unichrome is supposed to help a lot.
Anyone with some experience or pointers on where I could find out?
One of the topics in the summary, at least, is being able to do much more secure encryption.
As I understand it, encryption gets it's power from the fact that it takes a whole lot of computing power to guess the key, but if you have the key, everything goes well.
If everyone has these much more powerful computers, aren't we back to where we started? I'd think we'd end up at about the security level we are now, just with more overhead. Can quantum computing provide us with a new encryption method, which doesn't require ever-expanding key sizes?
Having deciphered the television broadcasts we have so rashly been transmitting to the stars for the last 50 years, they feel it only prudent to destroy us before we have a chance to destroy them. With an objectivity that gives new meaning to the phrase sub specie aeternitatis, the authors present the aliens' view as a perfectly reasonable act of pre-emptive defense.
Is it just me, or does this sound like our current foreign policy?
Man, I don't know if I could sleep knowing that my spacecraft had a leak. What if it gets worse? I sure hope they have some good safeguards against this small leak quickly turning into a decompression.
Has anyone used OpenConnector with Outlook + CalDAV, with success? As it works out, I started looking into ways to make events from my company's application to show up in Outlook *yesterday* - and I was thinking about doing it via CalDAV so I'd be usable on other clients too.
Give them Leopard, and iChat. The Leopard Screen Sharing thing works great for support calls. You can take over their machine and audio chat with them at the same time. It's already saved me countless hours of driving places, and trying to explain things over the phone.
I tend to bet on ignorance over malice any day. I bet this is a way to verify that the request is actually coming from an iPhone, and the original dev team didn't even consider that it could be an invasion of privacy.
Slashdot Mirror
I totally failed to preview *and* I forgot to use Extrans. Flame me.
Original post should have <insert open source app here> in two places.

First they came for the news group users,
and I didn't speak up,
because I didn't use news groups.
Then they came for the torrenters,
and I didn't speak up,
because I didn't torrent.
Then they came for the bandwidth hogs,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't on Comcast.
Then they came for my dns,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
You're limiting that statement to just children?
F5?
But... There's only one button.

From now on, we have to call them NanoBorgs.

General failure reading dots.
Abort, Retry, Fuse?
This release gives me faith that Duke Nukem Forever will eventually be released.
Protect my Privacy by invading yours? Sounds like our current foreign policy.

I hear that back in the day, devices like these created a 100% reduction in fuel use.

Vote for Ron Paul. Less government, more constitution.
This is likely the differentiator between an iPhone and iPod Touch. If there's no IMEI, then it's not an iPhone, and the app doesn't work.

But you're still contributing to Microsoft's installed base, which isn't helping to fix the problem.
