How blind politicans can be when big business says yes we want this, give this to us, don't mind the fact that the parliament says it's insane, and there are people protesting in the streets, it's all perfectly fine and good.
No small company can even hope to pattent every single data structure, software method and anything else they think of, the cost would excede there yearly cash flow, and big business, well why not, everything that comes along pattent it, and when some fool comes along with a for() loop with mutiple if() statments, you can use your pattent on that design to hit them hard, likely there going to fold anyway since they can't afford to fight it in court, they might even be forced to sell to big business.
Because pulse jets are on the edge of technology, they were essentially abondoned by most people who are only starting to look at them again for short single-flight machines like cruse missiles, so there is real development work a guy in his shed can do.
Car turbo based jets are built by every man and his dog, though I think there was a junkyard wars where one team built a pulse-jet (readless type) and the other team built one with a car turbo.
Goverments deal in milions, 50 milion there, 20 milion there, the cost of some piece of stupid artwork to stick at the end of a bridge cost a insane ammount of money while another piece of local-goverment artwork is spiraling though milions of dolars while its schedule is pushed furthur and furthur back...
Benifit of this is, a) the costs are fixed, b) we might just get that anti-mater powered probe to aplha-centuri;)
It's looking rather dubious that the GHz number will fit with Mores law, though I expect preformance to go up still, 4GHz parts are pushing the heat levels, and the smaller fabrication techniques are increasing signal to noise ratios in chips, there's only so far you can go with a transistor...
Processes will still shrink, but probably slower and for the other benifits of reduced physical size and heat dissapation. IBM's Power5 seems to be pushing onwards to the multy-core idea, and if it all fails there's plenty of other technologies waiting in the wings.
When generating high yeilds of HTTP trafic which mimicks that of vast floods of ligitimate requests, there are a few commercial packages available, however the same effect can be achieved by posting to slashdot a news story with a link to your website under test.

As part of a early-warning system floating up and down the coast of the US, that's not so bad, there's already vast survalance nets on and under the water.
Seems pretty horrid to me, but all the default examples are of classical C printf() style code, though the operator overloading for > is by seperate functions so there is some possibility for a conversion of whatever string code they use and IO classes to be created using the C++ method, just wish it had been in there by default.
Though I acknowledge they probably wanted to move away from the hell of one operator having many jobs, but I think a decent IO system for objects is woth it.
Arrrgh I never thought of it like that before....

Split the river, so next to the original you have a very very low gradient river channel, carrying the water down-stream with little loss of height, then let it out of a small channel, a lower volume of higher speed water, sutable for driving small generators, there's a old water-mill by a village near here which uses the system, wheels gone, but the jet of water is still there squirting out into the lower part of the river.
ROT13 is nothing more special than any other encoding, and it is an encoding that I will stand by, but some encodings are also very weak encryptions personally I'd rather the law state planely that something has to undergo a mathmatical transformation of the data itself to be encrypted rather than other forms of bit-shuffling, look up table conversions and re-sequencing which are really just codings.
Guess I'll have to accept though that ROT13 is encryption, but I won't give up on ROT13 as being an encoding.

Pull yourself together, youre putting way to many people in overcrouded jails, and stop turning civil crimes into criminal ones, why are you locking up people who pose no threat to society, there is community service for criminal cases where jail might not be the best thing for the offender (Realise it's not a perfect system, jail is simply time to ascoiate with criminals of all walks of life, no wonder people re-offend so much after theve learnt a pile of new tricks they want to try them out), And never underestimate the power of fines based on the income of the guilty party, no point fining somone 2.5 Milion damages for the 250 files he copied, try 1000 dolars, first one only causes him to go bankrupt and loose his TV, second one if he can pay, actually does hurt.
Get a clue, and stop putting good people who commint an infraction of copyright law into jail, and also get a clue when the 'victum' says they were damaged to 2.5 Milion because the person didn't pay 1500 dolars to buy the CD's there lying there asses off, and I would slap them with comtempt of court if they were claiming damages that high, unless there lumping all there costs for all infractions onto one person I can't see that being a realistic figure, and lumping them all onto one is blatently insulting the courts.
Just because I don't like to see one of these threads without it mentioned:)
A beautiful OS, with a fantastic GUI, still going with a version 5... kinda it's just like 4, but made by a diferent company, so version 4 is better, but version 5 runs on faster hardware... the mind boggles:)
Ironic really, since micropayments are one of the technologies which just won't work:)
if it takes 5 seconds of CPU work to send an email, you can forget ever recieveing another newsletter and up will go ISP charges since you can't easilly do micropayments on the client machine unless you can get everyone to agree to a way to pre-pay these things, which would require everyone signing up to some probably expensive service from verisign.
SPF is the best solution ive seen thus far, all it requires is people to only send emails via valid email relays, the only people who don't can be sorted out using SMTP AUTH and TLS so they can login to there ISP from anywhere in the world to send the emails.
The value is simple, it costs less to implement for large numbers of customers... I pay a little bit more for a guarantied static IP, or 8, and it works a treat:)
Got to pay the import tax on it, so off down the tax office with your invoice, and all the relevant paperwork as to the ammount you paid and sort it out, best to be on the right side of the law, don't want the inland revenue geting a free laptop.

I'm not sure It'd be a DDoS attack unless you were running ping -f over many ssh logins to a server farm against a single IP.

Depends on your definition of encryption.
ROT13 is nothing more special than any other encoding, and it is an encoding that I will stand by, but some encodings are also very weak encryptions personally I'd rather the law state planely that something has to undergo a mathmatical transformation of the data itself to be encrypted rather than other forms of bit-shuffling, look up table conversions and re-sequencing which are really just codings.

I think they had this... ...is that were were headed
ROT13 isn't encryption it's a character encoding, simply because diferent binary values mean diferent things isn't encryption of any sort.
ROT13 is asmuch encryption as ASCII or EDCDIC.

Everyone and there dog provides email service, if this address isn't anything other than like the .arpa tld, it will fail totally.
Perhaps might have hot.mail and yahoo.mail, but I can't see any others signing up for it.
