Take that MPAA....and RIAA...and NSA....and every other person who wants my bits.

Laptop computers with DriveTrust-based hard drives would prompt users to type in a password before booting up the machine. Without the password, the hard drive would be useless, Seagate officials said.
It only partially protects the user from RIAA.That is to say,if RIAA were to seize a hard drive,they would require the password to see the data.However,when the user is working on the hard drive(or has torrent turned on),RIAA will still be able to access the disk through internet and take take snap shots as usual.
We're continuing to grow here at SourceForge.net! We have recently opened a position for a Senior Java Developer, and are accepting applicants. Think you got the stuff?
Shortages of silicon have crimped sales in the solar industry. Although some analysts have said indium--the "I" in CIGS and a material used in LCD TVs--could be in short supply at some point, executives in the CIGS business have downplayed these concerns. Indium is actually fairly common in the earth, according to Schuyler.
The use of indium increases the bandgap of the CIGS layer, gallium is added to replace as much indium as possible due to gallium's relative availability to indium. Approximately 70% of Indium currently produced is used by the flat-screen monitor industry. Some investors in solar technology worry that production of CIGS cells will be limited by the availability of indium.
Iam not sure about where Wiki got the figure from though.
Given the slashdot's geek crowd, its hard to grasp that alexa gets its numbers from Alexa toolbar installed slashdotters..
So a corollary of that would mean that,higher the number in Alexa, higher the number of 'lame' users of a website who actually installed a Alexa toolbar.
" Ooooh. Blinkenlights on a processor!"
Ah ! Blinkenlights. Is it still on anywhere?( I think the last I saw it was in Germany..)
May be quad cores can run Blinkenlights.Guess someone will try it.
but i really can't see how poor quality increases piracy, however much we'd like to be punishing movie studios for crap content. how does it work?
Its quite simple.The case with low quality movies is this - The consumer wants to watch the movie.However,he deems it not good enough
for the hassle of driving to theatre,pay for family etc.Instead he thinks
the movie is just worth a watch on computer & delete.
They might have my interest if there was an AM tuner alongside the FM one. Why would Microsoft in its infinite wisdom decide "let's put a RADIO in it" and only end up including half a radio?
Because it is FM sound quality thats useful for music.The sound quality of music on AM is very inferior compared to that on FM .
Apple fans are overconfident in the iPod because Apple once commanded 92% of music player market share, a number that has since fallen to around 70%.
About 30 million people own iPods. But Microsoft owns more than 90% of the worldwide operating systems market (compared with Apple's roughly 5%), representing some 300 million people. The company expects to have 200 million Vista users within two years.
They talk as if Microsoft having 90% of worldwide OS market is the reason why Zune beats iPod.But does it matter much? iPod has 70% of the mp3 market anyway even without the 90% OS share that microsoft enjoys.
Why should OS mkt share matter to MP3 player mkt share,unless microsoft does something to hamper the working of iPod on its OS - something it hasnt done till now.
On the other hand, others believe that continued U.S. government oversight of ICANN is necessary because ICANN hasn't proven it can handle the entire task of DNS management alone and that if the U.S. government withdraws, the Internet's security and stability could be compromised.

Above all,Google depends on webmasters agreeing to use ad-sense on their website.

Since when are Java Developers "Engineers"?

I thought silicon was abundant ..
Keep in mind that,when one has a broken extension,the stability will continue to suffer with newer versions.Thats my personal experience.

So a corollary of that would mean that,higher the number in Alexa, higher the number of 'lame' users of a website who actually installed a Alexa toolbar.
Services like Megaupload.com force Non-American/Non-european users to install Alexa toolbar to download the file.
That explains why Alexa has file-upload sites such as Megaupload,rapidshare in the top 10 sites of most countries...
People will still download all the things they want,only that it takes a few hours longer.
Its not about whether the chinese or japanese did it. Its about whether the commerce dept knows enough to protect itself or not.

I hope if Google bought Youtube, google sticks with the brand name 'Youtube' instead of renaming it to 'Google Video'.

In that case you need'nt worry.We know which country has the max influence on UN!
Duh!
