I have a cable modem, I'm waiting for my DSL to arrive. for 4 months I've been waiting for my DSL to arrive. I would have never switched from my cable modem, but my ISP is selling off it's cable modem business to @home, and I hear they don't play nice with linux, so I'd be SOL. I just hope I get the DSL before @Home starts port scanning me.
Come on now, live a little!!! It'll make those Friday afternoon team meetings go by quicker; if all the techs are carrying one... (Would that make a Beowulf cluster?)
make that Beowulf cluster bombs
thank you, and goodnight...

thank you. That article was one of best written pieces I've read on slashdot for a long time. You said what Katz been trying to say for so long without sounding like Katz. I'm definitely going to send a link to this article around to some people who wouldn't normally see slashdot. thanks again

those of you that are still using CDDB, and are fed up with them charging for community added content, switch to Freedb.org. It's not gonna up and sell the database.

I can't sleep without my computer on. the noise is so comforting. once, during a power outage, I just tossed and turned, without falling asleep due to the lack of noise. perhaps running a fairly noise machine in my room since high school and having 2 servers in my living room, and sitting in front of a computer at work has made me so used to the noise that the lack of it just drives me batty

well I've seen a lot of people trashing the "See hot sexy women...and get fired" ad and I think that it is one of the funniest I've seen in a while, and bunch of other people agree with me, so, I guess if this system gets implemented there will be a lot of adds that dropped by half the population and regarded as amusing by the other half...setting us back to status quo

I too have found some neat stuff from slashdot ads. X10, TeamExcess... and yes, the FAWKING DSL add pissed me off. if I could pick and choose my ad! wonderful! If I could earn points to run my own ads? nirvana.

embed a stenographic watermark server side, that documents the IP, and time of access. then, if copies do surface, you know where they orginated from, all that could be done server side, without requiring anything special on the browser end.

use one of those invisible fences that people use to keep their dogs in, but instead of shocking your lawnmower, just have adjust course to stay inside it's boundries
in addition to power generation, might as well use a solar heater for your hot water. It will help cut down on electrical usage. You'll, still prolly want a electric one for storage and backup, but house I've seen with them, every is very pleased with the setup
You could avoid the ad problem and the "porn pop-ups" but not having the proxy server follow links that go offsite and make it ignore javascript. Of course it would stil follow these links when clicked on, but it wouldn't follow them pre-emtively. sounds like someone should just get the code for squid and start hacking.
well, in 5th grade, I did a report on albert einstein, and one of my friends pointed out that my hair behaved very similarly to A. Einstein's. I as had a great interest in physics, and I am a pacifist who can see the need for the use of force in extreme conditions. So, when I started calling BBSes, and some of these same friends were on these BBSes, I just used the name again, and here almost a decade later, I'm still using that great thinkers name. I would have hoped a bit more of his intellect would have rubbed off over the years, but hey, what are ya gonna do.

I consider myself a pacifist, but I'm also a big proponent of space exploration. Having to weigh the two options, I'd rather have another arms race that results in more exploration of the moon and other such things in exchange for some Cold War scares...

that's my problem. I run a bunch of servers on my cable modem, and @home kinda actively hunts you down if you do that.
I believe he's talking about using this to wire buildings that already have an old pnuematic infrastructure...

there is a lot of development going into making both of those evironments be able to talk to each other.

but people more paranoid than both you and I sure have, and where would we be without the paranoids?

ouch. I hurt just thinking about that setup.

the correct link to nate's webpage is: oostendorp.net, not oostendo.com as CmdrTaco would have us believe...
