Okie Stereotypes "Yes, I'm from the Sooner State, I tell them -- land of wheat fields, Indian reservations, TV evangelists, and country music; and who could forget the setting of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma: 'O-o-o-oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain.'

A state shaped like a kitchen utensil, as if the founders who drew the boundary lines had consigned it to serve as a perpetual building block of the Southwest, an essential part of the meal that no one sees, all glamour and strength hidden from view, what remains on the stove after servers carry away entrees on fancy china plates and lace napkins -- a part of the United States that everyone knows instinctively, but which few can place on a map."

By the way, there are more than 700 National Merit/Achievement/Hispanic Scholars at the University of Oklahoma. How does your state university compare?

Or how about no more Iraqi blood spilled for Jaques Chirac's PetroFina-Elf stock options? ...

How funny to point at others when half of US administration was working in the oil business before. Even oil tankers got their names.

Now the latest wave is that "freeing Iraqi people" BS. They didn't give a penny before for the freedom of Iraqi people and they won't give it now.

But while the "freedom" wave will soon wash away, look at that other wave coming to clean up those ignorabiles. That wave is mounting and mounting and all those WMDs they own won't help them to defend against that wave. Sooner or later that wave will give a real good wash to that country and will clean up most of that arrogance you can smell now all over the place.

Due to overwhelming support for welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com. We will be bringing it back on a brand new web server that will be dedicated to the task of serving this comical view of history's funniest straight man. This should be up in 24 hours from now.

The site was so popular that 4000 visitors per second showed up from around the world and overwhelmed this shared server for over 8 hours until we turned it off in self defense. It basically put a 100 other businesses out of business for a day. If we had known it was going to be this popular we would have put it on it's own server from the beginning.

Called on the United States to "surrender or be burned in their tanks." We assume he means the tanks sitting in the presidential palaces, but his office could not be reached for clarification.

... has a well-considered, well-written piece (Google cache link, since I can't get the real VGN page to come up) on this subject.

Kevin is one of the authors of the (tongue-in-cheek, in case you're an idiot) "crate rating" system, in which games are rated based on how long it takes to come across a crate to smash or jump on.

The short answer: don't trust reviews.

That may be true and all, but you still don't need any 3d card, let alone an Nvidia card, to run the dedicated server. Also, check out this google cache I found: Info on the the quake3 1.32b release.> It talks about quake3 smp binaries for linux, so there is definitely smp for linux quake3. Quote from the article: "Default quake3 shortcut will spawn a non-SMP build. Use quake3-smp for an SMP-enabled run. From the feedback we got after the 1.32 release,
the SMP support as designed in the Quake III Arena technology isn't so much relevant anymore. It was designed for much lower CPU frequencies and lower AGP throughputs. Modern systems won't benefit from SMP. Since it didn't make much sense to remove the SMP binary, we have both now."

Here's a longer overview... Could only find it in Google's cache.

What I mean by string is that you can get to the main Web Archive site (as a loophole), but you can't enter a blocked address there and try to recieve an archive of it. Same deal with google cache.

Google cache is your loophole. Simply replace the URL part in the cache URL, like this.

This only furthers the evidence that global warming has not been caused by human action.

Actually, it doesn't, due to the near total lack of any evidence in the article. It is at most a vague summary of what was concluded.

More to the point, this is just a summary. The study could have massive flaws, which is why we should wait until scientists have had time to critique it before drawing any conclusions, especially given that there are conflicting studies (at least one is mentioned at the start of the article) and reasons to disagree with the article's conclusions (see Dr. Brown's comments at the end of the article). This peer review is important. Sometimes evidence, such as certain well-known satellite results, can turn out to be wrong.

At the time of the original large fungus discoveries, I recall that the largest living organism was considered to be a tree. Actually, grove of aspen trees that all shared the same roots.

When the aspen trees were discovered, they replaced some giant sequoia which had long been considered both the largest and fastest growing organism on earth.

On the other hand, if there is a very rigid patent system, ideas never get into the public domain and every new product has a defacto tax built into it. The inflationary pressure would be incredible. Copyrights behave a little bit differently than patents in this scenario. An extensive protection period for copyrights provides an incentive for "monopolistic stagnation"1. Similarly, copyrights can be used as a form of censorship or to limit access by competitors. The effect can be rather chilling--no Project Gutenberg, information controlled by one source for extended periods of time, etc.

In the case of Mexico, or any country that follows a similar path, I think the business climate would eventually detoriate. There would be a high price of entry for new businesses and established businesses would feel less pressure to compete. Even foreign companies would have difficulty in entering.

An interesting read on copyrights can be found in the article by Lydia Pallas Loren. Maybe my argument is full of holes.

the E folk are to be commended for their excellent modular development -- many of these components are already being used by other projects (imlib2 in particular), and many of the others either are or soon will be in shape to be used in other projects too.

Yes and no. Here's a quote from the article:

ecore: Currently it has basic IPC wrapping, X wrapping, Evas wrapping, job handling ...

I think it's kind of a bad sign when you have to write a wrapper for your own library to be released with your library, so you can write your program which depends on... your library.

At the same time I commend them for the effort, and I'm glad they took the time to design it fully.

One thing I don't like is that Afterstep seems to have just disappeared. I remember going to their official homepage a few days ago (reflected by Google) but now is evidently the really broken homepage of some graphic design girl. A few years ago I was looking into Afterstep and noticed that their people had been working on a 2.0 release for quite some time, in the process creating libAfterImage which reportedly is blazing fast and produces beautiful results. I admit it, I kind of miss the crazy thousands-of-window-managers situation that Linux was in when I first got involved. And this whole GRFXGIRL thing is just weird. Especially since her copyright is last year and the Google page shows the afterstep page as being copyrighted this year.

Mesh wireless networks sound good in theory, kinda like microkernel OS's ;p, but in practice they have been unworkable to this point. Nokia bought a company, whose name I can't remember, for this type of product, Nokia called it Rooftop. The previous company had spent more than 4 years in development, and Nokia pumped in enough cash to add another year or so, but the product was a technical failure. Our company was already experienced deploying wireless systems (Alvarion/Breezecom and Orninoco) so we liked what Nokia had to say about the product and we gave it a try. The system proved to be totally unusable, the customer prem equipment often couldn't figure out which way to send traffic if the node it was previously using went away. I don't think that a mesh system is totally unworkable, but I do think its more complicated than most people think. Nokia has already removed the info from their site, but

There seem to be very few ISP's. Although I'd loved to see a large and quick take-up, the change-over will probably take many years and probably a decade or decades. There is a good concise article summarising the advantages of IPv6, Understanding IPv6 from PC Network Advisor [PDF], which I think every1 should read. The Google cache has a HTML version .

A cool concept, but the nations of the earth would be too fearful of weaponization to allow any one group the chance to control something like that.

We don't have to do it alone. We could just as well lead a partnership of world space agencies to accomplish the same goal. I'd prefer this, actually.

Aside from the ongoing dispute as to the feasibility of assembling a solar-panel whose total potential energy output will exceed that used to construct it.

In the 1970s that might have been the case, but it's demonstrably false today. From an energy payback perspective, most panels reach their break-even point in a little over three years, some in as short as 6 months. Photovoltaic modules have been shown in the real world to produce up to 17 times more energy during their lifetime then used in their construction, and that number is increasing rapidly. More info here and here. (The first is a PDF.)

You should also keep in mind that lunar solar power would be significantly more efficient than terrestrial solar power because the Moon simply receives much more intense sunlight than we do on Earth. You can read more about it in an article Criswell wrote for The Industrial Physicist.

7.8 Command Line Utilities

Administration of the data in a directory is a sensitive point. Data administration concerns data management with a directory structure and content. The IBM SecureWay Directory server comes with a set of management utilities to assist an administrator in managing the directory's contents.

There are command line utilities that are used to handle large amounts of data, for example, to import thousands of entries in one single step. These utilities include the following:

* ldif

* ldif2db

* bulkload

* db2ldif

Because they access data in the database directly, the tools listed above must run on a directory server. Note that the ldif2db, bulkload, and the db2ldif utilities support the conversion from a specified local character set to/from UTF-8 (see also 4.3, "UTF-8 Support" on page 83).

Another set of utilities are more geared towards handling of single (or a few) entries at a time. These include:

* ldapsearch

* ldapmodify

* ldapdelete

* ldapmodrdn

* ldapadd

These latter tools use LDAP to communicate to an LDAP server, and they can, therefore, be run on a server or a client. They are, therefore, included in the IBM SecureWay Directory Client SDK. Source code for these utilities is provided, too, to allow application programmers to modify them as required or as sample programs to learn about LDAP programming. A parameter allows to specify whether LDAP Version 2 or Version 3 is to be used (the default is Version 2).

There has been a post on Slashdot about this but I couldnt find it.
Even Google wasnt my friend at first but after refining the search a few times google finally came up with this

I haven't seen FreeNet mentioned in reply to this. I would have expected the slashdot editor to have mentioned this in the usual comments they leave behind. Or even the Wired.com writer.

I encourage you to check out their work: freenetproject.org [Google Cache]

Yes it is P2P, and they've been working on a solution to this problem a fair bit longer than newsbooster could have been. I expect the new arrival probably has security problems that could be exploited by an government who wanted to repress the information.

I think it's an excellent piece of work to address this very issue of keeping information free, that the Danish ISP had a problem with. I haven't checked out their solution, but FreeNet strives to make sure no one node can be identified as the publisher or source/cache of the story. When oppressive regimes seek to restrict the information available to the public, this is an effective weapon. The content stored on the nodes is encrypted and segmented; no one node stores the entire body of work, and information is retained based on its popularity (actual requests) among the network.

Freenet is not designed to host the latest unreleased movie .MPG or .SHN of an album. I have no idea how effective or comparable it is to systems designed to do this with their swarming downloads, etc.

From the freenet homepage:
Freenet is free software designed to ensure true freedom of communication over the Internet. It allows anybody to publish and read information with complete anonymity. Nobody controls Freenet, not even its creators, meaning that the system is not vulnerable to manipulation or shutdown.

Freenet is also efficient in how it deals with information, adaptively replicating content in response to demand. We have and continue to pioneer innovative new ideas such as the application of emergent behavior to computer communication, and public-key cryptography to creating secure namespaces. For more information please read this paper on the Freenet architecture.
