Few people need sub milisecond accuracy of full NTP, and if they do there's a few nice servers available for that, for clients a simple client is all you need, and it's not that complex, you send a UDP datagram asking for the time, you get one back with the time in it, if your feeling fancy you can even improve SNTP by calculating network delay and factoring that into the time calculation.
Unless youre thinking China vs America in a new cold war (very unlikely given how much money China makes by selling what it produces to America), it's not going to be a race.
'Copyright Theft' comes from that I'm english, and all our films have warnings from 'The foundation against copyright theft' - 'FACT' on the front of them, chill out.
These people were likely the old fassioned type of copyright theft, where you make money out of selling illegal copies, or producing good quality counterfiets and selling them to legitimate retail outlets as if they were the real thing.
They definately do need to be locked up, if I pay for software I at least expect it to be legit:)
Someone takes part in a protest, the police turn thi s on them, later on down the line they develop cancer randomly and sue the hell out of the goverment for killing them.

Longhorn Beta Begins
·
· Score: 1
Not to rain on everyones parrade but it's a development name, it's not a release name, the likely release name will be something like Windows XP2, Windows 2005, Windows NG, Windows NX, Windows....
If someone even suggested it be called 'Windows Longhorn' the marketing people would probably have them shot.
Being able to move your windows to a diferent XServer would be lovely, there might be support for it in the protocol I can't remember, for me it would be the joy of watching a window disapear from one PC's desktop and appear on another without any effort (would be even fancier if 1/2 could appear on one XServer, and 1/2 on another)
But hey, everyone seems to forget about people who run more than one system:)
But it's more than cron, it "incorporates inetd, init, mach_init, System Starter and related services" according to apple... I'm not sure I'm that happy with it including everything but it's features sound damn impressive, and I do hope we see something like this for Linux/et-all.
BBC does have some bias, it's a bit anti-goverment, which is jsut right for a goverment sponsored broadcaster, even if it doesn't lead to one big happy familly:)
They design laws to punish offenders who are making money hand over fist though illegal copying and selling of copyrighted goods, and they end up applying to those whove only done it, possibly without realising it after installing bit-torrent and clicking on a link.
No, DiLithium is a strange material in which anti-hydrogen and hydrogen can flow, and thus can be used to controll a anti-hydrogen hydrogen reaction, in it's crystiline form it also acts to channel the resulting energy in a particular direction(s).
This is fusion, a pittfully low power technology used in impulse drives, which can only propel craft to a few fractions of the speed of light.
Hey you come to slashdot, you're gonna find a true geek:)
I don't like it too much, I'd rather china work with ICANN to setup country level aliases so.cn would map to whatever symbol they wish to represent there country in there own alphabet.
This seems like a bad stopgap which will probably mean every in in china has to register more domain names than they need.
It's a nice tool which I'd probably set only to stop games rated Adult, I'd rather my kids don't get exposed to some of the darker parts of society before they have to.
As others have pointed out, it's no fix for proper parenting, though it'd help a lot of parents knew how to use computers.
I concider myself a soft enviromentalist, Population growth, well it's a problem in some countries in most of europe the population is in decline only kept up by economic migrants. I don't have much of a problem with urbanisation, but it'd be nice if we could have clean cities instead of dirty ones (comming from congested brittan I don't much like the car, and have no problem with keeping them out of city centers), Neuclear power, it won't last forever but for now it's looking like one of the best options.
But GM foods and other orgaisms, they do worry me a little bit, I'm just waiting till we see the roundup ready dandylion.
Dataprotection act means anyone who takes information off you must inform you before you hand over data as to what the'll be doing with it along with many other restrictions, it means spyware is illegal by default (unless they come with data protection statements for you to read though and ok first, doubt it:)
To be american youve got to pay for everything, and not do anything for yourself, strange I though it was more about Life, Liberty and the Persuit of Happyness, not making coperate fat cats paychecks bigger.

Sounds like it's fancy graphics and a improved search function.
We have a UK google, because... shock horror, the UK has websites people like to search too.
'Copyright Theft' comes from that I'm english, and all our films have warnings from 'The foundation against copyright theft' - 'FACT' on the front of them, chill out.
The EU is being lobbied by the content producers to introduce laws which means european goverments have to pick up the tab for copyright inforcement.
Bad bit is, it appears they don't realise it.

It looks rather like a browser I knocked up in TCL/TK in a week... hey ho :)
You'd have thought that google.co.uk would choose leading UK stocks in preference to US market lists.
I noticed that, worrying how most of the moderators arn't nerds these days.

There's only really one big flaw, it's ancient, and it's kept that way for backwards compatability.
Oneday we'll look at x86 like VHS to the DVD, or like magnetic tape cassettes to the mp3 player.
Put a insanely large tax... on what may be your future primary income source. Genius DOH.

Slashdot, news for nerds, stuff which matters.
