Seriously. Assuming that scanning methods continue apace with other technology, wouldn't a simple hardcopy in easily scanable format be the best longterm storage. Maybe we should be looking at more durable forms of paper with smaller print, more fire-resistant and technology that will scan this data fast. Like a scroll. Why does long term data storage HAVE to be electronic or digital in nature?

Submission + - Pirates crack Vista at last (apcmag.com) 5

Submitted by El_Oscuro on Sunday March 02, 2008 @09:14PM

El_Oscuro writes: A genuine crack for Windows Vista has just been released by pirate group Pantheon, which allows a pirated, non-activated installation of Vista (Home Basic/Premium and Ultimate) to be properly activated and made fully-operational. It seems that Microsoft has allowed large OEMs like ASUS to ship their products with a pre-installed version of Vista that doesn't require product activation — apparently because end users would find it too inconvenient. The question, how can I do this with XP?

Vonage Loses VoIP Case With Verizon 150

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday March 08, 2007 @07:45PM from the time-to-pony-up dept.

cdrudge writes "A federal jury on Thursday said Vonage Holdings Corp. violated 3 of 5 patents of Verizon Communications Inc. and ordered the upstart Internet-phone company to pay $58m in damages as well as 5.5% in royalty fees per month per customer. Verizon said it would seek an injunction to block Vonage from using its patented technology. The jury did reject Verizon's claim of $200m in damages and that Vonage deliberately violated Verizon's patents. As you might expect, Vonage said it would appeal the decision and seek a stay if an injunction is granted. Judge Claude Hilton set a hearing for March 23 on whether to grant an injunction."

Unique Visitors = 1/10th of Unique IPs? 261

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday May 02, 2006 @02:13PM from the that-might-be-pushing-it dept.

Max Fomitchev submitted a little blog entry where he proposes that the ratio of unique IPs to actual unique users is 10:1. This flies in the face of the numbers you usually see attached to these sorts of things. I'm not sure about the logic he uses to come up with these numbers either.
