Slashdot Mirror

I recently found an article that contradicts these findings.

That they've been placing a ton of ads on their sites, and apparently making a ton of coin. So they're reaping the rewards without putting the effort in. A nice little cash cow.

For those that can't be bothered to RTFA, there's an article with video from a guy making ice cream in a centrifuge.

I found this article on the same subject absolutely fascinating. Stunning pictures too.

I'm from BC, and have been noticing that some of my ports seem to be throttled. I have written about it on my blog.

Actually, this kind of thing has been very useful for interoperating my devices at home / work / travel. It's called VPN. Brief article on VPN. And IIRC, it's as old as the hills anyway. Another innovation from MS!

Since I got my bluetooth dongle about 2 years ago, I've been working out ways to scan and exploit devices in range. I wrote about it here. The only trouble I find is increasing the range =(

Perhaps instead of a deletion, a {work unfriendly} advisory in brackets could be added.

There is a real problem with some links in some places. Especially when they are presented at a site that is somewhat "work/family safe" oriented. I say safe orented because it is well known that people surf this site at work or in front of the kids. Purposely hiding the true origin of a link to trick people into viewing it is about as stupid as it can get.

And no, it isn't censorship to delete a link that is fed through a proxy in order to obfuscate the origin so that people who wouldn't otherwise click on it could be tricked into doing so. If the point was to post a link to something, then the link to it would be posted and not bounced from a assumed safe domian. In case your wondering, http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkwkgCAlIK5YAl_5XNyoA/SIG=1hr6qq1f/EXP=1208637856/**http%3A//slashblog.notlong.com/ is the same as going to http://.slashblog.notlong.com/

And yes, I purposely broke both links. The first one can be followed and anyone with half a brain can fix the other after opening it. It you have doubts, you can go up and click on the original to verify.

I was actually just finishing up a post about the very same!

Exactly. And before people start in on the if you don't know them why don't you delete them shpiel. Facebook has been a godsend to student filmmakers like me. It's a quick and easy way to contact people and send mass mesaages about meeting and shooting times. It's also great for group projects just add every one on facebook tag them in a note and voila instant discussion board to review a paper or script.

As you can see from the video, calling it a "forcefield" is nothing but an attempt to get free publicity. This thing is in reality a point defense system that uses radar to sense incoming projectiles and shoots out the equivelant of chaff to destroy the projectiles before it hits the vehicle.

The obvious ideal reading for PHP programmers.

Addendum 2: See also this artist's impression of where the NOTLO NG institute think apes might end up on the evolutionary ladder in a forseeable future, should this observed trend prove to be stable.

I'm told that 2 San Francisco cafes (Samovar Tea Lounge and Canvas Cafe) now nix the wi-fi on weekends.

Jerry the manager at Canvas kicked out a guy who repeated the following routine for several days: he'd set up office, taking over a large table (even with a stapler), then he'd type and talk on the phone all day after buying 1 cup of coffee.

Lee at A Cuppa Tea in Berkeley kicked out a woman who came in with a coffee from another store, sat down and got going on her laptop w/ zero purchase.

But remember, these are extremes and exceptions. A minority of people will be pricks anywhere, using whatever technology is available.

Beyond wi-fi squatting -- this sounds like a clear case of the Zombie Effect:

Now we'll refine social and technological techniques for discouraging antisocial behavior. Same old saga...

The Processor newspaper/trade rag had an article the other month on future/developing datacenter fire supression goops and gases. A brief, but interesting read: http://firegoops.notlong.com/ (The processor URL length was ungodly) An amusing sidenote is that when I was in high school, I had a mad-scientist/BBS SysOp friend who was hell-bent on developing a Halon-based theft deterent system for his car. Once the thief had hopped in and began to drive... (Shudder)

Nonsense! Just wait until Gnome 2.11 is revealed!

Michael Geist, a Canadian law professor, has released a two-part study on the financial impact of peer-to-peer music
downloading on the Canadian music industry and on the artists. Part one demonstrated that recording industry loss claims
are greatly exaggerated and that the P2P is only marginally responsible for sales declines with the focus on CRIA's own numbers and many alternate factors behind the moderate sales decline. Part two concludes that Canadian artists have not suffered financially, noting that lost royalties from diminished sales have been more than offset by the collection of nearly $120 million in private copying levies [registration required - use use jimbo@mailinator.com/password to login].

Although LED floodlights can be expensive, if you order from the right place they can also be cheap, it all depends on what materials are used. this site has tons of info on them.
