Comment Re:I've figured out the "exclusive difference"... (Score 1) 719

You missed the point.

You dont HAVE to wire the pairs up as EIA-568... you can wire them up any way you want to, as long as the differential signals go down the twisted pairs.

Of course, then you're not following a ratified standard. Maybe Denon did that... maybe they didn't, and the exploded diagram is just inaccurate.

Spain Outlaws P2P File-Sharing 432

Posted by samzenpus from the nobody-expects-the-spanish-p2p-ban dept.
Section_Ei8ht writes "Spanish Congress has made it a civil offense to download anything via p2p networks, and a criminal offense for ISP's to allow users to file-share, even if the use is fair. There is also to be a tax on all forms of blank media, including flash memory drives. I guess the move towards distributing films legally via BitTorrent is a no go in Spain." Here is our coverage of the tax portion of this law.

Windows Vista Delayed Again 539

Miyamoto on PS3, Industry 55

Posted by Zonk from the what-a-nice-guy dept.
The Guardian Gamesblog has a talk up with Shigeru Miyamoto, where they get into his views on the PS3 delay, and the industry as a whole. From the article: "Any announcement about PS3 will affect Nintendo. But we don't see it as a competition between the two consoles, although the customers always do. It depends on what expectations people have of the PS3 and Revolution. Sony has taken a long time to create their machine but it is obvious that the direction we (Nintendo) are taking is different to the PS3."
