Slashdot Mirror

And that picture is over a year and a half old. The 3D pyramid is now at least 60 cans big at the base. (That's 31.)

You may want to read this essay about creating configuration files in $HOME. I'd appreciate any comments.

According to the wisdom of TV Licensing, it is a greater hardship to see a program in black and white than not to see it at all.

But anyway, yes, most people I've spoken to agree that the "TV tax" sucks, and here's some other things that suck about the UK.

Unfortunately, it looks like it may have been slashdotted before anyone loaded the whole cache..

but, you're free to try it

Please write a little script so that you can put URLs in Coral Cache automatically.

Here's the URL: http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/coral/

For example we'd have
http://slashdot.org.nyud.net:8090/

or for the article in this story
http://vitanuova.loyalty.org.nyud.net:8090/weblog/ nb.cgi/view/vitanuova/2004/10/07/2


That way people won't just get annoyed and copy the full text of articles into an anonymous comment.

From Infosphere to the First Inforb

The infosphere wants to be in orbit, and soon, it will be.

In space there is no need to lay optical fiber nor to obtain right-of-way from an international committee, you simply point a laser and shoot at the destination of your message.

The vast majority of digital communication traffic is from server to server. The big problem is "the last mile" of communications, and that is because of the difficulty of laying cable around urban areas.

You can go wireless from home or office to a local Ka-band ground station that uplinks direct to an on-orbit infosphere consisting of servers and routers.

This will unfold approximately as follows:

1) Wireless will replace cable in urban areas, thus dispensing with "the last mile" problem and waking people up to the fact that you pay heavy hidden taxes for trying to lay cable that crosses terrestrial bureaucracies.

2) Existing satellite Internet systems (note here that Iridium was _not_ an Internet system) will expand, possibly including the deployment of Teledesic.

3) The success of these wireless systems in previously underdeveloped areas such as China will further establish the viability of this general approach.

4) Launch prices lower as western protectionism over the launch industry is finally removed. (Interesting, isn't it, that even as the West was trying to figure out how to get hard currency businesses to employ Russian military personnel in commercial capacities, the West was bullying Russia into raising its launch prices so that Western government-subsidized launch firms could compete? Just goes to show you the Soviet public sector was more efficient than the West's public sector which isn't surprising when you think of it in those terms.)

5) With lowered launch prices, satellite prices will, at first drop gradually, and then plummet. Satellite prices will plummet when launch prices are low enough that satellites can create internal "office environments". This will not be for people -- it will be for the "office environment" mass produced electronics that go into servers and routers. Note: This will occur much later for geosynchronous satellites which must carry far more massive shielding from Van Allen belt radiation.

6) As the infosphere is going through the most rapid movement from the biosphere to Earth orbit, the most economic means of fixing a satellite will be to replace it. The increasing, industrial capacity, launch volume will drive launch prices to levels comparable with other transporation industries.

7) With launch prices lowered to industrially rational levels, human presence will become permanent on the various orbital planes in order to service the satellites on those orbital planes.

Now might be the time to move to an anonymous P2P network. ANts is a 3rd-generation multi-hop P2P network that uses both point-to-point and end-to-end encryption. A search for material doesn't give you a list of files and IP addresses, like in a normal P2P network, but a list of files and virtual addresses. Nobody knows what virtual addresses belong to which hosts; routing is learned by ant-colony optimization.

The network is small now, and it needs nodes. Go to the page here (Coralized) or download the webstart file directly from here (also Coralized).

Note that the network is now still very small. It might also take a good while to connect. Java 1.5 is required.

I feel secure and cuddly again... ;)

That shit happens all the time because too many peeps test only with IE, and it's just a leetle too forgiving when it comes to malformed HTML. (And we all know about their standards adherence.)

I would love to see this image strategically located on a girl's T-shirt.

I just figured out how to make ANYBODY spill the beans. Just put terrorists in a room painted entirely in this .

Use the cache so more people can see! Thanks!

Though, I could have just done this:

http://www.desktopos.com.nyud.net:8090/reviews.php ?op=showcontent&id=19

But you see, Slashdot breaks the link anyway, by inserting a random space.

I'll take it under advisement for the future.

Try the coral cache to vote.

Why is it that we are still seeing site /.ed ? Coral P2P cache system seems to something quite effective and is easy enough to use.

So how about everyone stop trying to load the master link and use this one, then we all will get to see

http://www.desktopos.com.nyud.net:8090/reviews.php ?op=showcontent&id=19

What about trying it through a Coral Cache link? Be nice if the whole thing was smaller than 22MB.

http://syllable.org.nyud.net:8090/ Just in case. I don't suppose their server is running on Syllable yet? That would be cool.

Helping people is, I think, one of the best uses of the slashdot community. That being said...
Here are some (hopefully) helpful resources:

American Printing House for the Blind:
They're a great resource of learning materials for the blind. (You should try and see if the school can (or maybe should) pay for these materials)

APH geography learning materials

Royal National Institute for the Blind (UK)
The RNIB looks like a good resource and charity in the UK for the blind as well.

This article in the 4th issue of their Curriculum Close-Up magazine dealing with learning geography for the blind might help as well.

How is the cam not in a good location? The entire mountain is enveloped in the clouds. Perhaps if we moved the volcano to the sunny southwest for our viewing pleasure....

I prefer to go up there myself, rather than watch webcams.

The programers answers to all those damn FAQ's

1) ANts supports point to point encription (AES 128 - DH 512)
2) ANts supports endpoint encryption ( " " )
3) ANts supports multipath routing for packets
4) ANts supports preferential connections (to create a fast backbone and
to let everyone going faster)
5) ANts supports PARTIAL DOWNLOADS and it has a unique and very
innovative system to do this (in theory it could be better than
bittorrent inspite of routing overhead and speedes reached on LAN showed
this!)
6) ANts supports AUTOSEARCH SOURCES function for active and interrupted
donwloads, if your donwload pass in the interrupted box this DOES NOT
MEAN that you have lost it... it is just paused and it will restart as
soon as possible!
7) ANts can find partial files through normal queries or queries by hash
since version 0.4.1 beta!
8) ANts supports FULL TEXT indexing and do searches over full file
content and FULL FILE PATH LOCATION.
9) ANts will (perhaps) support instant messaging integration
10) ANts IS NOT a simple IRC client
11) ANts relies on ad-hoc network theory as well as MUTE
12) ANts is strongly beta... this means it is not intended to be dummies
probed!
13) ANts releases ARE NOT backward compatible, so if you can't find
peers you probably has an old version! Use Java Web Start to be sure to
have te newest one.
14) ANts exploits IRC CTCP commands for initial ip exchange!
15) ANts supports internal ip exchage during and after your first
connection.
16) ANts queries are cripted in an asymmetric way. This means YOU are
the ONLY who can read you queries results. Everyone can read the query
string but this approach reduces drastically the potential power of a
node in trasit queries analisys.
17) ANts uses TWO consecutive ports (Like HTTP does) default are 4567 &
4568 but you can change the lower getting automatically changed the
highest. If you are NATTED you don't need two non consecutive ports,
cause these ports are used ONLY for incoming requests. Your own requests
are made on any free port, so you don't have to care, it can take a
little bit more to obtain your first connection if you are natted, but
ANts can work with natted peers as well as with unnatted ones without
ANY difference
17) Internal protocol is not harmed by nats and firewall... so once you
get a connection it doesn't make sense saying "I'm natted my queries are
not working!".
