Agreed that profit is his primary motive.

However, Bezos has stated a belief that the US patent system is broken, and that by publicizing the problem, Amazon creates pressure to fix it.

I just ran into some flakiness writing a highly multi-threaded app and stumbled across this explanation (Google cache, the site seems to be down now). Things work, but not as cleanly as on Solaris.I assume that since they're documented, they'll be addressed. (I'd sure like to know where the are on the priority list, 'tho.)

No, your original post is still wrong. This guitar transmits the actual sound generated by the strumming of the strings as digital information instead of analog information, like a traditional guitar, as opposed to a MIDI guitar, which only transmits information about the notes you played, pitch, duration, attack, etc. It's the difference between a recipe for cake, and the the cake itself; MIDI is the recipe, this guitar is the cake. So put that in your hash pipe and smoke it, you dirty hippy.

From the (Google cache) Gibson site : Gibson's MaGIC - short for Media-accelerated Global Information Carrier - makes standard Cat-5 Ethernet cable act like a super cable, capable of carrying up to 32 channels of 32-bit, 48 kHz uncompressed digital sound in both directions (64 channels total), with a control stream 100 times as powerful as MIDI over a single wire. It eliminates latency and jitter, allowing professional real-time sync of hundreds of instruments and devices (250 s point-to-point latency over 100 meters).

The O-rings in use on the booster rockets for the Challenger (and previous shuttles) were rated for warm weather, which was acceptable since the launches were in Florida. It was a cold day when Challenger launched. The engineers warned admin that day that the boosters might fail. There had already been numerous delays, so admin launched anyway.

Interestingly (or suspiciously?), the ethics site's page is down, but the cache is here:Roger Boisjoly on the Challenger Disaster

It wouldn't work anyway. Your radiator and headlights reflect sufficient radar to get your speed. The light-absorbing qualities of the paint won't help either, since laser speed detectors use the reflection from your license plate. Covering the license plate with laser-light-absorbing plastic won't help you, either. However, there seems to be no restriction on laser-based jamming, if you want to go that route (pun intended).

How many times do I have to repeat myself. Some evidence is required! Also, did you not see the next line which says that I believe there should be a higher requirement to declare somebody an enemy? The point I was making is that Bush didn't do anything Illegal by declaring him an enemy. If you're like me and want the law changed, start lobbying and quit your bitching.

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, flag, apple pie, chevrolet. I say we are moving backwards. The fact of the matter is that I have less freedom today then I did before. I imagine that's pretty much a win for the terrorists.

You fucking bigot. Let me change your statement around and you can see what I mean. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, burritos, tacos, sombreros.
I do agree with your statement about losing freedom for the sake of safety. Again, start lobbying and quit your passive bitching. This discussion is supposed to be about the accusation that we are not observing citizens rights.

I fail to see the distinction.

The difference is that it's a lot more difficult to confirm the identities of everyone in the car from an unmanned aircraft high in the sky.

Yes. It's now legal to assasinate US citizens if they are abroad.

Where do you get this shit? The person they were assassinating was not a US citizen. You seem a bit uneducated about what happened in Yemen. Read this.

Yes because in real life innocent people are never accused of crimes or found guilty of the. Innocent people also have never been to jail or put on death row. Because in america we are infallible and our president is all knowing. After all god himself chose this country and appointed this president and everybody knows eating apple pies and driving chevrolets makes you infallible.

You're stretching my statement a bit too far, don't you think? I'm simply stating that it's a little unusual for innocent people to be driving around with generals of worldwide terrorist organizations.

Oops you just contradicted yourself. Did the guy deserve it or was he there by accident? Oh well it's OK to kill american citizens with a missle if it's an honest mistake. We may be infallible but the CIA operatives in yemen probably were not eating apple pie and driving chevrolets. That's why they made this honest mistake. I was just acknowledging that there's a chance that the guy was doing nothing wrong. Regardless, he should have been tried in the states, etc. If it was an honest mistake, then we move on and do what we can to learn from it and try to prevent it from happening again. Like I said in my previous post, we're not perfect. Actually, you're the one that seems to think America is infallible and perfect.

Really? I don't think so. Here I'll hit you with this one too. There is no real difference between the conctration camps set up by hitler and the contration camps set up by bush. Ok maybe the conditions are better (but then again how would any of us know) but the idea is the same. Round people up and send them away to a distant concentration camp to be "interrogated".

LOL! You sure have a hyperactive imagination!

Here's a link for Padilla. Padilla is an enemy combatant and loses certain rights. Here's an explanation of how it applies to Padilla.

Yaser Esam Hamdi's citizenship is in limbo. His argument is based off the fact that he was born on US soil. His citizenship status is pretty much undecided until the 14th Amendment is clarified.

I didn't price this out in 1991, only did the research recently when I found the notes to figure out if such a game system would have been possible to build at a reasonable price. Prices were grabbed from builditdoc.txt (Can't find the original anymore .. link is into Google's cache.) The author wrote it in 1989, updated 1990, updated 1991. The pricing shows:

Memory- 18 1M 80NS Chips New Show $162.00 $108.00

100 / 18 ~= 5.

The article mentions that " ...default passwords are cheerfully provided on the page."

None of the sites suggested so far afaics have this. I went as far as I could on nic.mil without having a .mil email address, but as has been usggested here, that application is then obviously read by someone, and has the security check of requiring a .mil email address. Or has the page been fixed since the article was posted?

Also " ...an equally unprotected (and Google-cached) admin interface encouraging us to add a new user, like ourselves, say, which requires no authentication."

This sounds like the sites.defenselink.mil one:

BTW nic.mil has a 'disclaimer' on the base url which says use of you page constitutes assent to being monitored. It doesn't limit the extent of monitoring. So here is my reply to them,

a) No it doesn't. You may be monitoring, but you have not got assent.

b) The warning only appears on one page! I only checked that page, last of all, by luck! Most users will never know that you assume that they assent to your monitoring.

c) The page is on a public network - your 'monitoring' better not consist of anything more than a logfile entry with an incoming IP, hostname and time.

The work in question is 1984, the prophetic novel about a government that controls the masses by spreading propaganda, cracking down on subversive thought and altering history to suit its needs. It was intended to be read as a warning about the evils of totalitarianism - not a how-to manual.

You are right. Most criminals out there do not want to waste time with this. But I would think the "smart" ones would actually want it to appear as if nothing is wrong.

Even the smart ones don't always care. Here in the Phoenix area, we've got a crew nicknamed the Rock Burglars who have been robbing upscale homes for ten years. They're called the rock burglars, because that's how they get into the house, they throw a rock through a back window.

However, they do meet your other criteria. They are very selective about what they take, just the jewelry.

Mars is a great place to go, but we ought to go to back to the Moon first. Not because it's closer, but because there's one primary benefit colonizing the Moon can give us that colonizing Mars won't -- free, nearly unlimited power.

From a long term perspective, lunar solar power is the only idea that makes sense. (It also has the virtue of being the only method we've yet discovered that would allow 1st world levels of energy consumption for everyone on Earth.)

Space exploration has languished without a raison d'etre for decades now. Lack of continued political will is the biggest threat to long term projects like Mars colonization. But what better motivation could there be than eliminating the largest source of pollution on Earth, providing for the energy needs of the entire planet in the process?

The price tag for such a project is estimated at $150 billion. Sound steep? It's not any steeper than the cost of war with Iraq. Add the cost of the Gulf War with the cost of our new upcoming sequel, and we could have bases on the Moon beaming clean power down to every nation on Earth instead of bombing them. (And then there are the billions of dollars we would save by reducing the need for mining and transporting fossil fuels, and lowering the energy cost of all products.)

There's more here, if you're interested.

Through Google's Cache...it's really quite easy.

Go to Google and put in 'http://www.yourvote.com/pci' and hit Search and click on the Cache, now, Click on another internal link, copy and paste that, and put it into Google, and then hit Cache, and repeat this process, and you can get something like this nVidia list

If you really wanted that list, write a perl script and save it on your hdd for later reference...of course, I wouldn't go out and publish all this lovely info...

New FireWire connector. I know that this might not be Apples fault, but yet another connector type for 800Gb FireWire, ugh. Yeah yeah, an adapters available, but couldn't IEEE figure out a way to make the two compatable?

about 1/2 way down the page you get the gist they were looking for anyone who visited the page http://cryptome.org/sec-con.htm

In fact, a couple of months ago there was a link that made its way through the blogs about a site where someone had made a recreation of the Brazil-style terminal, with a typewriter keyboard and fresnel lense.
