According to the AP story you posted: "The device"..."can use either a traditional dial-up connection or, when networked with a PC, a high-speed Internet connection."
I was thinking: if it really could 'only' be used with an AOL connection, it should be trivial to see how this linux box connects to AOL, and therefore give us the ability to connect to AOL via linux (thus allowing for grandmother to use a nice OS and her favorite Online Service).

Anyone know what the difference will be goin from SDRAM to RDRAM? I couldnt find anything on pricewatch, but then again, I know very little about all these new fangled memory technologies comming out.:)

The great thing about the internet is the speed at which news travels! For instance: I read about this yesterday! Even though SlashDot.Org is a quality news site, I dont think its quite as good as the site that posted this same story yesterday. I think I'm going to stick to that other news site for more up-to-the-second news stories.

OK, so its not really on topic, but its relating to QuakeCon, so what the heck.:)
I know many of us techs look for cool cases, and some of these friggin rock. The grand prize winner is a *great* idea, with PVC and all. Hope it doesnt get brittle from heat (not like there's much with that fan).

Does anyone realize how the vast majority of people speak of evolution/big bang as a law rather than a theory? In my book, creation is also a theory, and until one is proved over the other, why is one treated to be fact, while the other is treated to be fiction?

looks like Outlook, feels like Outlook, but will it have the same powerful, secure scripting that has made Outlook the #1 choice among NT admins?;) I feel like I'm missing out on this LUVBUG thing...I want to have someone send me a love note too!
btw...kde's Magellan looks to be very similar as well (for KDE2 tho)

From the ZDNet article: Bennett Haselton, Webmaster for Peacefire.org, said the flaw involves sending a user an e-mail with an HTML attachment. When the user clicks on the attachment, the file sends a copy of the user?s cookie to the hacker. Once that cookie is received, the hacker can insert it manually into the Netscape cookies.txt file and use that authentication key to log in to Hotmail as the user. Click here for a description of the trick. <snip> Not a 'trivial bug' Since the cookie does not contain the user's password, the hacker can only access the account when the user is logged on and as long as the authentication code is valid. But Haselton said that five minutes would be long enough for a hacker with a prepared script to download all of a user's e-mail messages.
Best I could see, theres no email floating around doing this - its just an idea at this point. And for it to propagate(sp?) like luvbug or melissa, it'd need a script to use the hotmail address book. As it sits right now, it'd just come from one guy who knew lots of hotmail addresses. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this, tho:)

I tell you..that guy is getting SO popular! When I first started buying from him, he was just another guy tryin to make a buck. Now look at him...he's got his own occasional spot on UF and now a mention on Slashdot. Wonder what the slashdot effect does to one's sales! sigh...there goes buying from 'the little guys';)

So I bought my DVD of The Matrix. say I wanted to watch it on my DVD-ROM, but didnt want to pay for the software player or any hardware decoder. So I wrote my own utility to read the data (read: movie) on MY DVD. Scouring the fine print on the cover/disc of The Matrix, I find one lil blurb on the disc: "No Copying." Fine. I'll write a util that decrypts the data, and pipe it to a player (how bout an mpeg player?), thus not copying it to disk. I never found anywhere on the cover/DVD, nor did I ever sign anything when I bought it, that said I can only 'read' the data on this DVD with a licensed DVD player (be it hardware or software). Since its my DVD, shouldnt I be able to manipulate my software/hardware as I see fit for my own personal use? After all..I bought this copy for myself...
In this, I dont see how 'I' broke any rules, since I own my DVD. now simply 's/I/Original Author/g' and you'll see my view on everything.
Can someone tell me if this point of view is wrong or not?

If anyone sees a site with a review and the only benchmark I really care about, please post it.

I want to know how fast it compiles a kernel (with everything enabled/modulized.
