Also, if you're listening to someone in a foreign language that needs translation for you, it stands to reason that you might also need to tele-prompted what to say next. How to input your intentions so the computer can decide what that would be is your homework for this evening.
Yes, yes, I'm actually British so I'm aware of all that. What I meant was, the non-english speaking ones are even more expensive. EUR, JPY, CHF in particular. I was implyinog that this might be either a localisation cost or down to stronger currencies.
Actually thinking about this, it's more likely to be caused by the weak dollar. Even if Mircosoft Points were fairly pegged in the past, fluctuations in the currency rate would cause this kind of issue if the number of points is the same in each region.
That would indicate that the recipient isn't interested. After it's made public domain, it might be picked up by someone that IS interested. This is also the elegent solution against collusive or untrustworthy recipinents.
The main roadblock, at least for newspapers, is that there is no longer be a trusted or verifiable source. That might mean that leaked documents aren't taken as seriously as they would have been otherwise.
You remind me of a prank call I once heard where the guy rings up an ISP and says, "I want to buy an internet."

As an ex-smoker I can confirm that it's almost impossible to quit for long if your partner is constantly lighting up. Temptation is always right under your nose, so to speak.
I really love reading about the lengths enthusiasts go to when trying to do this kind of thing. For some reason I had assumed that this had been done already since there is already emulation for gameboy color, right? Can someone explain the significance of this development?
I think cursive writing should die a death. Sure, it's pretty to look at but the more 'fancy' it is, the more unreadable it becomes. Signatures are a shining example of this.
What if the language chose is a Turing Tarpit such as Whitespace, Branfuck or worse still, Visual Basic for Applications? Turing completeness seems like the most obtuse way of defining a language as "fit for purpose" that I've ever heard of.
You earn extra brownie points for "calling bullshit" (no pun intended) without even knowing what the problem domain is. Well done that man.
That's true but I didn't mean specifically by lowering bandwidth usage, I meant by being more stealthy. What if there was some way for your malware to make itself look like some other kind of high-bandwidth usage like usenet, bittorrent or video streaming traffic. Not sure if it's possible because ultimately you need to end up as SMTP at some point.
Anyway, no doubt these kinds of traffic are things that ISPs will eventually want to flip the kill switch on too.

Could it also have been unexploded World War II munitions?
Even better is Cloud 2.0 Computing which is done in actual clouds using standing stone circles and such.
Do we get to take out policies on each other? This party is getting interesting again...

So using today's exchange rates vs USD, 800 MSP is actually:
11.01 USD (in GBP)
13.89 USD (in EUR)
12.49 USD (in CAD)
12.17 USD (in AUD)
13.20 USD (in JPY)
16.90 USD (in CHF)
11.85 USD (in NOK)
To me it looks like there's an aditional non-english premium...

Jack Thomson, what a knob. When are they going to put this guy out of our misery?
And we're one step closer to Aliens-esque movemnet detector...

If you liked it you should have put a 'ring 0' on it.

Maybe he's French...
I thought tagging was for criminals? Free "I Love Big Brother" t-shirt with every watch. Versions 2 monitors for thought crime...
Apparently your post is in cursive too.
Or maybe that's recursive...

Japan? I always quite liked that sound.

Yes, I saw Jack Bauer using something like that...

What about malware writers who figure out how the detection works? This is yet another arm race.
Forget about no coverage, usually snakes are more of problem.
Yes, I've got to say congratulations to these kids. What they did seems very, very cool.
But what about this?:
Sounds like a certain geeky somebody has a crush on a hottie art school somebody....
Don't worry, we've all been there.
