For me, it would need to have a seperate fold-out keyboard and be capable of running vim with 80 columns of visible colored text. Obviously for writing code anywhere.
I think it's important to realize the possibility that time could be a fractional spatial dimension. This would explain our lack of degree of freedom and for a bonus it would also explain the patterns we see in nature as overflowing information into integral 3-space. Fractals are fun too.
I wanted to know what you use for Big Earl's voice synthesis. It sounds awfully similar to Dr. Sbaitso from the early 90's.
Also, I noticed that there are many songs that have disapeared from groove salad's playlist from around last year. (GOOD songs). I wanted to know if this is because you were forced to remove them, and how many other artists/labels are being held back this way. This music is so good it gives me goose-bumps, and I can't stand the thought that there is more that I am missing.
my letter is off to my controllers^H^H^H^H^Hrepresentatives,
I work with Seismic data, usually for finding natural resources like oil. Since the data is aquired from surveying the under-ground with sound waves, the amount of data possible is insane. The software I work with, has to limit the files to 2 gig because of the 32 bit file offset limit.
I'm sure nuclear simulations, or any natural simulation (like weather) will create massive datasets too.
It's disturbing to know that after 2 million years, we are still making documentaries of each other. At least we, sooner or later, did invent fire and the wheel. Come to think of it, we ARE using green paper as our currency... hmm and destroying all the forests... worrying about what color our computers are going to be.. damn, where's my towl? It's nice to know, though, that Billy Gates and company will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
1 The stock speaker of the Insight do suck, but I have replaced mine and put an mp3 player in anyway.
2. Tough to control. mainly when huge vehicles pass and on lousy roads
3. Loud. there is plenty of road noise.
but I didn't buy mine expecting a luxury car. I don't want to drag around a couple tons with me wherever I go. It's a cool car IMO, and I'm pushing the technology.
After a year of owning it, though, the biggest problem with it is peoples reactions to it. I had to tint my windows to keep people from fucking staring; expecting a hippie or something. And every once in a while it pisses some guy in a truck off. hehe
don't worry, it's in the process. SDL + openGL and IRC-like networking layer under it. The IRC stuff is taking a bit longer than I thought it would. (Been working for almost a year @ 30kloc so far).

The last time I bought music was like 8 years ago. These are groups that don't get air time ANYWHERE that I know of. Surely many other people are buying their music BECAUSE of somaFM. My point is that these groups should be supporting (and I bet they would) somaFM's groove salad etc. because it's the only way they become known.

Last monday, highways across Houston and galveston counties were dropped to 55 mph. My Honda Insight doesn't see that much of a difference in mpg between 55 and 70, probably because of its low wind resistance.
And just as a parting shot, there's always the old "where are the in-between animals?" question which this article carefully ignores.
Large mutations in a species would probably make the animal VERY vulnerable (ie. loosing limbs). I'm thinking they would have to mutate multiple times in only several generations. The likelyhood of us finding 3-4 animal fossils out of the billions of "normal" fossils isn't probable. So we havn't...
If google has something like 10,000 linux PC's, I would definately think that using RAM and a ramdisk for the rootpartition would be cheaper than putting a hard drive in every PC. I would imagine that the hard drives would be the first to go if something failed.
Obviously, if they used DRAM for their HUGE central databases, it would not be a cheaper solution.
But, I'm talking out of my ass, because I don't know how their datacenter works.. anyone anyone?
In the link that I supplied, near the bottom, is the line:
'SSH-1.5-OpenSSH-1.2.3', 'affected'
Like I said, it was just speculation... but the version numbers did match up. telnet to your ssh and it will give you the version. I had to upgrade to the newest SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.0.1p1 by source.
Many implementations of ssh version 1 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow as well. Its a vulnerability in the protocol not the implementation. Last I checked (sunday), debians version of OpenSSH 1.2 from security.debian.org was still vulnerable. Though this is all speculation because no public exploit has been released. (there are exploits around though)
