I really like my Kyocera FS-1010. It's technically a workgroup printer, but it's small and sturdy and prints a LOT on a single cartage. It has linux support, but I deliberately bought a networkable printer so I would never have to worry about OS compatability
Only 2600 deaths a year? Sad how something that causes so little damage is treated with a higher priority than something far worse... like smoking. (Which causes 443,000 deaths per year according to the CDC).
I'll just have it emit whatever's playing on my stereo. If I'm not playing anything, well then the choices are endless aren't they? Tie fighter? Popcorn popping? Porn sounds? Crying baby? Lightsaber hum? Maniacal laughter? Hell, I could have a different sound every day!
I stayed at the Leavenworth, WA KOA earlier this year. They do indeed have free wifi. The reception was really bad and the speeds were slow. Forget about gaming... just viewing web pages was painfully slow. (In all other respects it was a great campground though. I'd go there again)
There's precedent for this. Gilmore v. Ashcroft ( http://cryptome.org/freetotravel.htm ) shows that the government doesn't even have to let you read the law. Copying is a subset of reading. So if they can stop you from reading the law, they can certainly stop you from copying the law.
It reduces the competitive moat yes. BUT it also give people more incentive to try your product. "Hey, if it doesn't work out you're not locked in. so why not START with us and if you're ever unhappy then you can move on.". The best next step for them is to make it really easy to get your data into their product line from their competitors. Like that guy upthread who was trying to extract 1.5k contact cards from AOL, for example.
If I had something like this, I would call up Paul Graham at Y Combinator... This is the sort of thing he (angel) invests in.

Good luck! I hope you find a lot of success in this
I gave up -- terribly disappointed -- after the 4th or 5th book. Although I found his characters pretty misandric at times, I generally I thought Jordan did a great job of bringing characters to life in a world that held a lot of interest for me. The part that made me give up on him was the senseless addition of every cool character and plot twist he could come up with. (Did he ever tie up ANY of the loose ends he spun off with such abandon?) I came away thinking that he only cared about stringing his readers on for as long as possible. Building up an enormous Rube Goldberg machine, one book at a time.
When I heard he was terminally ill, I read his essay on the topic and his resolve to not even try to tie up loose ends because it gave him some kind of incentive to "get better". At that point I was pretty glad I'd already given up on him. To get halfway (? 40%? 20%) through building this huge structure and them basically saying "sorry guys. I probably won't live to finish and if I don't? No soup for YOU!)
Several people have mentioned a hope that this new author will wrap up the series. Why do you think that he will? What incentive does the Jordan estate to *stop* publishing this wildly popular money making series? I submit to you that they have every incentive to do what Jordan did... Keep adding more characters to the mix and continue milking this series it for all it's worth.
1) Set up router A as an open access point and have it connect to your ISP 2) Set up router B as a private, secure access point 3) Hook up the rest of your network to router B 4) Set up router A to give traffic from B priority over any other traffic 5) Have router B connect to router A.

Slashdot Mirror
Much of the tech I actually care about has reached the "good enough" stage >> why bother upgrading? (This is especially true for gaming platforms)
IMHO, DRM technology has become crimminally intrusive >> I don't want to support those bastards
I have a family and a mortgage >> I have more important ways to spend my money
Much of what I want to do and see is available online >> why buy even more physical stuff?
Do you also celebrate the First of May?
I do and it's awesome

Somehow "Sharks with frikken laserprinters in their heads" just doesn't seem as cool
beaten by stealth dave :-(
funny becomes redundant
better luck next time
Screw that. I only use cases that go up to 11.
strange. that showed up in the preview. let's try again:
paste a comment "</shield>"
So then people would first have to paste a comment "" and THEN paste the comment with the exploit code?

No, it warrants being on the front page because it's frikken cool with frikken lasers in its head.
Also, have they already arrested/suspended/expelled the students that reported the problem?
It used to be for research "that cannot, or should not be repeated". Now it's for research "that first makes you laugh, and then makes you think".
I'd say this experiment falls into the latter category.
I'll just have it emit whatever's playing on my stereo.

This is good press for them on multiple levels.
Not really. It just means the onus is on the other framework to prove them wrong. Think of it as throwing down the gauntlet.
Are you kidding? We still don't really know what evolution is. Nor do we know who Jeasus really was (or if he even existed)

What about music that's only available via a service? Too bad. That artist is going to miss out on my money...
You only really need two...
1) Set up router A as an open access point and have it connect to your ISP
2) Set up router B as a private, secure access point
3) Hook up the rest of your network to router B
4) Set up router A to give traffic from B priority over any other traffic
5) Have router B connect to router A.
