I mailed that link (subscriber) to people at work and some
friends. Already the replies have been:
"Great in theory, but
there's a new Friends episode on Thursday. [...]"
[group reply to
above] "Yeah, great...in theory...."
My sister, who hasn't
replied back yet, will undoubtedly mention Trading Spaces or
another of those TLC shows. Another friend will complain about
missing NASCAR or Monster Garage or whatever...
How the hell
can the kids have a hope at reducing viewing, or dumping TV
altogether, when the adults around them come up with excuses to
not give up the idiot box for just one damn week?
The TV broadcasters don't want a la carte programming. The reason
they say, cost, is not the real reason. For years the
broadcasters have been using extremely low wattage, spread spectrum
messaging to program our minds via channel packages.
For
example, if you have a "Family Package" consisting of a cartoon
channel, Lifetime, etc, the broadcaster will send a weak Bogon-Lyston
Mind Control signal of approximately.02 nanowatts across each of the
family networks to your television set. (TVs have uniquely
addressable IDs in them, they don't want you to know
this)
To date this has been undetectable by standard means,
however donning a tinfoil hat will block the signal and you will feel
the difference within a few weeks.
Now, if a la carte
programming goes through the broadcasters and their masters (The
Illuminati) will have to use a stronger signal on their most popular
channels. A stronger signal may be detected which would reveal their
nefarious plans.
History Back in the mid 1960s, a
brilliant electronic engineer had detected an odd signal embedded
into television signal of The Ed Sullivan Show. Decoding the signal,
he found messages saying "DRINK MORE SOFT DRINKS" and "SUPPORT THE
VIETNAM WAR". The engineer sounded the warning bell, but to the media
itself. Bad move. He was heavily drugged for over 3 years then was
placed at the center of a CIA/NSA/Illuminati organised mass murder
crime scene. That engineer, Charles Manson, is still in jail
suffering the ravages of the drug therapy.

Only 20% of the power of a conventional motor? The next glaringly
obvious step is to figure out a way to make CPUs out of these motors.
Rather than GHz, they would be rated on RPMs. Dell will market them
as the "Magnetron". These next generation computers will never
randomly fall from desks as the gyroscopic effect of the motorized
CPU will keep it firmand will as its own fan! The Intel 9600 RPM
Gyrotron TFB (Titanium Fan Blades) and the budget Intel 5400 RPM
Cyclotron CPS (Cheap Plastic Shit)

Back in school we had a 6502 development kit. We had to flip a 8 switches (bits, this had a staggering 256 bytes of memory) to set the address and another 8 for the data then hit a button to load the data into RAM. Once it was all done we set the address toggles to the start point of the program and hit an execute button. The output was 2x 7 segment LEDs..

So, in other words, a server

There's a niche between DVD-R and tape which is where I think iomega is trying to get in. For example, we have a 16 tape LTO auto-mount library in one of our SGI Origins. Those tapes hold ~200 GB compressed each, so we have to swap some tapes when we get to around 3.2 TB of data (that's not exact, some tapes are incrementals, etc)
Anyhow, they're mistaken when they claim it can replace tape. It can replace tape in certain situations, but not where you need a lot of backed up data available to the systems.
[...] such as issuing alerts to drivers about impending
intersection collisions, rollovers, weather-related road hazards, or
warning a driver that his vehicle is going too fast to safely
negotiate an upcoming curve
Riiiiiight... they're wanting
this system incorporated to protect you. They'd never dream of
setting up receivers in traffic lights at (major) intersections to
track the movement of people. Watch: it will be a crime to disable
these systems, "for your safety" of course.
Yeah, yeah; I may
need a tinfoil hat. Ask yourself, though, do you feel
safer?
Dr. Terry's assertions remind me of a Seymour Cray quote I had as
my/. sig a while back:
"If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use? Two strong oxen or 1024 chickens?"
I'm not picking a side, it just seems interesting that the Cray CTO
would echo Seymour's thoughts. I guess it's for business and marketting reasons though, sadly.
Does it act as a
co-processor to the one the government puts in our heads at
birth?
Don't laugh!: Using your index and middle
finger feel your skull at the base where your spinal column meets
your skull. Notice that little bump? Now with your middle finger
pressed firmly on the bump rub it with your index finger across the
bottom near your top vertebra.
Feel that hard thing move? Of
course not, but I'll bet there are hundreds of geeks like you
pressing two fingers against their skull at this very
moment.:)
Perhaps. Although you have to remember that Cisco has grown so large and with such a massive product line because of aquisitions. If this wasn't a Cisco home-brewed product then there's a good chance this backdoor was in there from the previous company.
I had lost the enable password for a Cisco 1601 (olde ISDN) many years ago. Cisco faxed me some info on how to bypass it on startup. Just needed an RS-232 connected at boot up and their directions.

True enough but I'd hope his employer (500 employees) would at least pay for managed switches with port mirroring (as you've mentioned).
It bugs me that places will replace x00 MHz PCs with new 2.4 GHz PCs for secretaries to just type letters in Word but don't see the value in buying network geeks the proper equipment.
we have been having quite a few network problems that can only
really be resolved by sniffing packets.
By "packets" I hope you mean "Ethernet frames". Looking only
at layer 3+ information can be useless for many network problems.
Anyhow, brain dump:
Do your switches and LAN router(s) have statistic
counters (# of frames of various sizes, undersided/oversized frames,
flooded frames, deferred frames, etc)?
If you don't have a LAN router for 500 users: why?
What's the most amount of hops (switches) your packets will
travel from one end of the LAN to the other? Any more than 3 and you
should be putting a LAN router in there (ideally)
Do you have hubs? If so, destroy them all right now. Hubs are
pure, unadulterated evil.
My point of that is simple: not all LAN problems are
computer problems. Looking at the IP traffic doesn't always cut it. Re: the subject: At my workplace we have a nice LAN meter from Fluke. They aren't cheap but
if you have that many users your company should damn well pay for the
right tools for you to do your job.

If someone's patented DRM in general (anything's possible it seems), maybe they can go SCO and stop all the other companies from implementing DRM.
Uhh.. no.
Your hypothetical company would have 3 choices:
1) Make a product with their patented DRM system.
2) License the DRM to others (as an IP-only company)
3) both 1 & 2 (as countless companies currently do)
One company patenting DRM won't wipe it off the planet, these companies patent products for a reason: money.
for $440 million im sure microsoft can develop a DRM system 100000x better then what they have right now
Based on their record thus far, zero times "100000" still doesn't add to much.
