One of the biggest problem of spam is the inability to identify the source (and why so many people believe that solutions like SPF will help out).
VoIP is end-to-end, so if someone starts "spitting" the network, he can easily be blocked.
Of course, other solutions would be to have white lists for VoIP, but it is weird to think about white lists to telephony, since the idea is that anyone could reach anyone.
I think dubious character companies will try to do it anyway for some time, but with time blocking will keep the problem to manageable levels.
The fact is that WEP is better than no WEP, that if you use WDS you gotta use WEP instead of WPA because of the MAC addresses, and that you should still use higher level encryption layers anyway for sensitive information.
Deploying WEP is easy (and I don't even mean using it with the Wireless wizard in XP SP2 that will deploy passwords for you).
It was the fact that we were hunter-gatherers that got us out of the plains of Africa. The fact that we would only collect whatever resources were available on location and then get on to the next place when we exhausted it. Once we started with agriculture our motives to go on exploring diminished radically. We would still explore to go after the stuff we didn't have, be it precious metals, diamonds, cloth, spices.
Van Allen didn't say that the ideology of adventure is not enough for us to keep exploring. He just noticed that it seems to be the only thing driving us to do it. And, historically, that was never a strong enough reason for any great human exploration.
We didn't go to the moon because that was not easy but hard, or because that would "serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skill", or that we were "unwilling to postpone". We went to the moon for economic and, more important, political reasons.
I'm in favor of space exploration as much as most of the people here, the explorer in us wants it. But if this is the only reason, we should really consider the costs and benefits. Of course, it is not that the money for it could be used for other achievements to mankind: there are still lots of cash used in wars and the military that could be used for the same thing, before.
I understand that iTunes will send the ALC encrypted to the AirPort Express, so that the FairPlay protected AACs can be streamed to it in a way that pleases record labels, but I was wondering if the base itself would accept if a client streamed unencrypted content to it. That would really help Linux clients, for instance. Is it just do a netcat to ports 5000 and 6000 of an ALC stream?:)
...if it is explored commercially! For home and company use, how will they charge it? Now, if a company is providing a commercial service over unregulated spectrum, it could be taxed. But if it is taxed, shouldn't the providers receive the same guaranties as the providers of other regulated wireless access, like the right to have it's spectrum free from interference, etc?
I've been playing with XP SP2 since RC1, and am currently trying RC2. My main interest in the included Blueetooth support: I can run bluetooth using the supplied software from my dongle, but I don't think it is very "polished". And having Bluetooth support provided by the OS maker, I expect to have better, more integrated, support, like the one provided by Apple.
I have a Keyspan BT-2A dongle and it would only work with the supplied drivers. Installed SP2 over it and it still uses the original drivers. Removed the shipped drivers, reinstalled SP2 and still no MS bluetooth support.
Is there anyway to force its installation? I read somewhere that you could manually do it after installation of the service pack. Also, which dongles are supported?
While I agree that it would be much cooler to output whatever audio is getting out of your Mac to this device, I really don't expect to see it being able to stream the audio of time sensitive applications.
Can you imagine the latencies? The sound and image would never be in sync.

I really want to have one of those when I grow up. :)

...are that stuff dreams are made of.
My thesis seems to be similar to yours. Write me if you want to exchange some ideas.

I would say "Get that and everything else raises into place"
No no no...

They should enforce the patent and only license it to products who would implement PNG (correctly) as well as GIF. ;)

...wireless!! ;)
Or can I just upgrade my Bluetooth dongle firmware?
She has to get back, doesn't she?
If she had the money to get a plane ticket, she wouldn't have made it the first time.

But every machine that ships with iTunes, ships with QuickTime.
What would you use when you have to SHOUT AT SOMEONE!?!?!
Heroin that, by the time it was discovered, was considered as an 'heroic' non-additive substitute for morphine and medication.
that by posting it on slashdot, you just ruined what might have been "the only way to get it for the moment", don't you?
But if we have to f'up the server right, how about linking to the release notes?
we can expect a Windows XP version for PPC?
I am dying to switch from MacOS X to Windows XP, but it is the i386 price barrier I can't overcome.
...the original Google Search Engine Computer Storage.
I read that as "Author of Paper Clip of Microsoft is Fired". It sounded much more exciting.
