Yeah, Java 1.2 ran like crap on my 133 MHz 5x68 with 16 MB of RAM in 1998, but today's Java isn't too bad on my dual Six Core CPUs with 32 GB of RAM.

From the fine article, "Current phone networks allow users to talk and listen simultaneously but, the scientists said, they use a work-around that is expensive and requires careful planning."

Wasn't there already a portable with the initials NGP?

Nor do they have the technology to actually build said tires.

Amimon's FAQ answers this question.

Is WHDI secured? Could someone eavesdrop on my wireless high definition video?

WHDI uses strong encryption (AES 256 bit-based) to protect the high definition wireless link. This ensures that all video or audio content transmitted wirelessly over WHDI links is safe from intentional or accidental eavesdropping.

It's instructions execute accurately clock-for-clock, but running at 33 MHz instead of 80.

There have been moving Braille output devices in the past. They were used in the days of text terminals. One can be seen in the movie Sneakers.

He's a troll. People are comparing this Avatar BD to Sony's "Superbit" DVDs. It has no extras, and yet has one of the highest mux-rates of any disc released to date. It's reference material.

Your Linux partition is still there, you just can't make use of the space reserved for it anymore. The only way to recover the space is to do a back up, format, and restore.

You do make a good point about the name, though. A name like: filename.pcm.dv.avi, or filename.mp3.mjpg.avi would reveal a lot more information. Too bad that scheme isn't more widely used.

It wasn't a PSN problem, I know someone with a PS3 which has never been online, yet she couldn't play a trophy-enabled disc game on Sunday.

The affected systems now think it is January 2, 2000--unless the user has corrected the time. When the bug hit they all reset to December 31, 1999 (which is a year one can't manually enter).

I have a theory there's an unseen clock running inside the PS3. Since the passage of time solved the problem, shouldn't too have setting the system time forward a day? I tried that, yet the system was still bugged. It would make sense if there was a hidden clock not able to be directly set by the end user for things like DRM. Since Sony has downloadable movie rentals, which can only be viewed for 48 hours after payment. It would follow that there's an extra timer which one can't over-ride to get more time with the rental. It also makes sense to tie this to game DRM, and trophy acquisition so users couldn't forge earlier time stamps. The other observation I made is that when I manually set the clock the system would keep time as long as it was on. But shutting down and restarting would cause the displayed time to revert to the time I had previously set. So the system clock wasn't being updated by the hidden clock, while it was in the buggy 29th day of February.

They do have a "Gay & Lesbian" genre, which includes such films as (from the first page):

Milk
The L Word
Angels in America
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Fried Green Tomatoes
