You want the people who use the roads to pay for them? We already have a system that already takes into account the number of miles driven and fuel efficiency. It's called the gas tax. When you fill your car you're paying more taxes than fuel costs.
I don't know where you are, but this is not the case here, the federal gas tax is about 18/gallon, and state taxes are about 10/gallon
(other states vary from this amount somewhat).
The gas tax is a good idea, it just doesn't nearly cover the costs (e.g., the largest portion of my city and county property taxes go to roads).
The smartest thing the poor can do is find
a place they can live without a car (e.g.,
travel on foot, bike, or bus). Even a
piss-poor car is going to cost you at least
$200/month, probably more. If you're poor,
that's money you could probably use for
food, rent, medical needs, etc.
Judging from the crap I see in our logs
spammers may well be simply taking
every first-initial-last-name combo
they have and using them on every domain
under the assumption that if there
is a jsmith at one domain there may
well be jsmiths at several more.
With ethernet you must worry about ip addresses and routing all that information.
IP is just the most popular protocol layered on top of ethernet -- if you were using ethernet to talk to disk drives for example, there is no reason you would *have* to use IP -- you could just talk to them directly via their
MAC-addresses or layer some other protocol on top
of ethernet.
On the other hand, ARP, IP, UDP, and DHCP are all well-understood protocols so you might well decide to do it that way.
Oh, don't worry about me -- one of the benefits of being an uber-geek is you can have both plenty of money stashed away and a good time in the meanwhile.
My prediliction is to spend money doing things with my family rather than on shiny bits, YMMV.
And the USB cable nonsense was my attempt at humor, too.
Oh, and my doctor made me give up Dr. Pepper (etc)
a couple of years ago, so that's one vice I can no longer enjoy:(
When playing at home, just keep in mind that more than 48v dc can kill you and if it grabs you, you won't be able to let go.
CURRENT KILLS, not voltage.
Shuffle across the floor and touch a doorknob,
that's many, many times more than 48volts and
I doubt it has killed anyone yet who isn't a
silicon lifeform.
One thing to note is if you are using DHCP
the forwarded packets will have the 10.x.x.x
address (assuming that is the primary
address of the router interface).
You'll just need to use the 'shared network'
statement (or equivalent if you are not using ISC's dhcpd) to take care of this.
Computer Engineering: This is a degree for hardware people. This is a degree for serious geeks who like math and logic, but don't want to become programmers
My undergradute degree is Computer Engineering -- programming is what I do -- in fact, many Cpr Eng grads end up in software either by choice or because there are roughly 10 software jobs for every hardware jobs.
In fact, the most common degree in our dept is some flavor of Engineering, but we've got a couple of Physics people, a couple CS, and some odder ones too.
At this school, anyway CS, is for people who like theory, not programming.
Earlier this year, the last Type III facsimile machine manufacturer holdout finally agreed to obtain a license from ISURF on this ISU
technology. This final settlement brings the total number of licensees of the ISU FAX algorithm to 24 with royalties totaling over $36
million. The patent survived three re-examination challenges at the USPTO and serves to remind us the importance of keeping good
research and invention records.
This was a patent the University discovered
it had just before it was to expire -- well
after fax machines were ubiquitous...
If you follow the chain of references back
from the W3C's papers on RDF they go back
past the filing date.
Certainly concepts like MARC bibliographic
entries predate the patent.
You can't know if you enjoyed a movie unless you have watched lots of movies....
I believe you've missed the (badly made, to be sure) point.
Of course, anyone can say "I liked that" or "I didn't like that" -- but to make comparisons,
you obviously need to have experienced more than one of whatever it is (movie, meal, walk, etc).
And the more the better.
If the only thing you'd ever eaten was a Big Mac would you be qualified to rate it as the best meal ever?
Yes it is. 1GB = 2^30 bytes, not 1e9. Drive manufacturers use the smaller unit so you'll think that their drives are bigger than they are.
That's deceptive
Look carefully, you'll find the disclaimer in the fine print...
The strn* functions are miserable piles of excrement. They were not intended for range-checking but for making sure a fixed-size buffer was completely filled (because of the brain-dead directory structure on some early Unixes).
char buffer[8192];
strncpy(buffer, "hello, world", sizeof(buffer));
Neat, we just spent time copying 8179 extra nuls!
And heaven help you if your source is exactly as big as the buffer -- no nul for you!

D'oh!

I know some people hate eMachines, but my two have been problem free, including one which is now more than 4 yrs old.

If you have this desperate need to stand out maybe you could just run a USB cable through your nose piercing or something.
If you're thinking of going to the trouble of simulating TCP with raw sockets, UDP seems a simpler alternative to that.

If it is not random, then it has some pattern and should compress even better.
Clearly their claim is a steaming pile of technology (if you get my drift).

You're better off writing your own.
