They even need a firewall, only a really sick and twisted person would try and hack the computers of people who give time and money to help thoes in need.
Something similar to progressive JPEG encoding might be possible, get the full song in 30 seoncds? and then spend the next 5 minutes watching the quality slowly improving until you have the full thing?
This is clearly not to improve securty, only push up the FBI's arrest count.
Do these poor guys ever get there equipment back, Ive never heard any stoires of guys getting back stuff from the FBI after theyve taken it away for investigation?
The forums come with lil things saying NOTE...No talk of any type of service theft or video extraction is allowed. Well I can agree that service theft is wrong, but video extraction?
components inside a powersupply store there charge, it doesn't matter if the breaker trips, a RCD cuts out the power, youre still gonna take one hell of a kick from it, and if you happen to have both hands in there at once, possibly a fatal kick from it.
For the past few years Ive had my PC with it's legacy ports: VGA, PATA, RS232, Parrellel, PS/2.
So out with the old and in with the new eh, so it's DVI, SATA, USB1, USB2, Firewire.
It's just starting to annoy me that in our fight against legacy hardware all weve gone and done is replaced the ports with ones with funkier plugs, I guess I was nieve when I first heard the 'Universal' part of USB in thinking that it might actually be Universal.

I do hope they remember that VNC was and is used on more than the popular desktops, Ive seen versions for every obscure platform Ive ever layed eyes on, and they should aim to keep it working on most *nix OS's and others.
I've written this like 4 times so far, and I can't make it sound convincing, only slight analogy I can come up with is moire patterns they appear to move faster than there components do it's the same in this case, the peak is made up of many component waves, each moves at a fraction like 1/2 or 2/3 the speed of light, the peak is formed as each of these waves passes over the other thing is these waves have to be in place before the peak can form, you could probably guess when the peak is going to arive at the other end just by looking at the setup signals coming down the wire.
Nope, not going to cause any revolution in telecoms, or data transfer, and for timing/signaling events there's other systems available.
Well I live in the UK and despite YEARS of bombings and killings by terrorists, because something happned to america we now have to carry our student ID cards with us at all times not just to exams, and are geting flashy new all in one thingies soon too, though I think it's all a lil pointless no taliban would ever attack my uni since a quick headcount of the class shows that most of us are Muslim anyway.
I'm a low level guy, so take each of the numbers take 1 and shift it up by the the value, OR it into your storage register, do the same for all numbers, invert the resulting register mask off unused bits, then shift back the number until it's equal to 1 incrementing another register each time, the result in that register is the missing number.
The reason why AC power is used is it makes life a lot easier for distribuiton.
P = I^2 R
The transmition lines have a resistance, so clearly limiting the current flow is a good idea, so by steping up the voltage and lowering the current, less power is disapated and lost during transmition.
This same effect applies to a house, apart from the cables are wraped in nice thick platic jackets and burried in your walls.
The voltage goes down, the current goes up. The Current goes up the diameter of the cable must also increase or you will get electrical fires.
So it might be alright for a workbench, but the moment you start making longer runs you end up spending a lot on thick cables.
On another completely un-related note, being disconected from the grid has its downside, as an electricity generator, you can sell electricity to the grid as well as use it, this often means you can use more when you need to at no extra cost.
*picks up text book*, looks like the logic behind it is sound, didn't remember that mass increases towards infinity as it aproaches the speed of light, so you need an infinate amount of work to move it to the speed of light, but didn't superman only happen to spin around the earth and turn it backwards or somit, in some psuedo science of fake time reversal anyway?

Yes I'm a geek too, and the photo page is mis-labeled, thats the primary deflector not the primary reflector :)
I can't see any mention of Acorn Replay format files, so CPU intensive even a 12MHz machine plays em fine :)

You took a 3 minute nap in the middle of the job didn't you, bah in my day we'd get it installed and running in 2 mintues :)

I do believe this act states that for the sum of no more than 10 pounds, I can get a company to hand over all the data they hold on me.
Yes Mr ISP I'd like a copy of that list of all my internet activities, here's your 10 quid.
It's kinda sweet really, for the rest of time royalties from one of the most famous childrens stories goes to a childrens hopspital.
If you allow yourself to be bullied, you'll just be handing over your dinner money for the rest of time.
Weve got ACLs all we need is a standardised interface to them, and programs to allow there controll and honor them when moving/copying/editing files.
I gave up on using acls after life just got to damn complicated having to constantly ensure X,Y and Z were readable by users P,Q and M

Oponent suffers 50% chance of hit asuming the attacker can guess the position of the hidden enemy.
I'd also guess some modifiers would be given to stealth based checks.
Say it with me folks....

Any one managed to get a linux build of this to work, and/or are there plans for one on the main site?
erm, 2 was your missing number not 6.
I'm a low level guy, so take each of the numbers take 1 and shift it up by the the value, OR it into your storage register, do the same for all numbers, invert the resulting register mask off unused bits, then shift back the number until it's equal to 1 incrementing another register each time, the result in that register is the missing number.

Your point 2,is wrong, it's easy to propell something at the speed of light, my desk lamp does it all the time :)
Might want to fix that servers mimetype info, I get it as plaintext with HTML formating in it which isn't converted due to the mime type
