Its a shame this means that the machines need to go down for about 10 minutes every couple of years rather than twice a day for about 2 fifths of a second.
Personally I think its more likely to be used as retribution by the victim.
Turning a nerdy kid in just isn't FUN. What the jocks are after is popularity. They get this by picking on minorities in front of their friends. Not by doing sneaky things behind their back.
Most learning algorithms probably wouldn't have a hard time distinguishing a porn site from most other sites. The all look the same, with lots of flashing text, bright colours, and ususally something along the lines of "You must be 18 to enter".
Find a selection of false positives and reapply to the learning algorithm to improve the accuracy. Even if it isn'tperfect, it would certainly be better than an algorithm that blocks things like "wish it was sunny" on the basis of obscenity in character 3-7.
I get my political information from more conventional sources.
So do you dismiss every form of literature or just comics? If Animal Farm and Gulliver's travels can be considered social commentary, I don't see why 2000AD can't be.
As far as I understand it (Terms like "notwithstanding the provisions"... confuse me) According to section 12g, it is perfectly legitimate to reverse engineer the cryptography, and publish an analysis of the cryptography, with certain restrictions. The cphack authors didn't follow the letter of this section (e.g. They didn't ask for permission) , but they did follow the spirit of it (They wouldn't have been given permission).
As far as I can tell, the article is inaccurate in places too. There doesn't seem to be any reference to the GPL in my version of cpHack, and the DMCA does have a lot of exceptions to cover "fair use". The MPAA had to show that DeCSS could allow a DVD to be be copied to gain the injunction. Not just used.
So if I pirate it without decrypting it then thats okay? Or is it okay to decrypt it without pirating it? Or neither?
What if I write a dictionary? Are people allowed to quote definitions from it? Can I prevent people from doing this by putting something on the first page? Can I prevent people from reviewing it? Can I prevent this if its on CD? What about cutting and pasting the definitions?

What about hire purchase type arrangements? Surely they could offer exactly the same deal, with the requirement that if you want to cancel then you return your DC.
Multi-threaded Didn't Linux use processes for threads until recently because it didn't have native threads? Maybe I'm wrong here
Virtual Memory
Available as an add on since about 1992
Protective address space for each application and the kernel
Erm...... Okay, you got us there. Although I believe that the 68000 did have basic memory protection in that it could prevent aces to memory above and below certain thresholds.
A long time ago, Amiga inc. did buddy up with Transmeta. Then Gateway discovered that Amiga were actually building a machine and put a stop to it. Shame really. According to certain insiders, they really had an impressive product.
By that logic, there's no reason why a GPL'ed Windows player shouldn't exist.
And this is a good point. Why shouldn't there be one? And why can't there be one?
ISTR that the main complaint from the MPAA was that a movie could be copied directly from one machine to another. So surely all we need to do is create a version that doesn't copy to disk.
If I understand this correctly, Tao compiles to native code at load time rather than use interpretation or JIT compilation. It is also possible to optimise for specific processors.
The actualy kernel is 25K. Does that suggest small?
In court today, Microsoft succesfully managed to gain an injunction against the Linux Operating system on the basis that it is a tool for piracy.
This was demonstrated by the Microsoft representatives using cat </dev/hda1 >/nfs/dev/hda1 to copy Windows98(tm) from one computer to another. They also claimed that Linux reverse engineered some of Microsoft's intellectual property including SMB.
Linux users claimed that Linux is useful as an OS for the PPC and Alpha platforms that MS wasn't supporting. MS pointed out that there were legal operating systems for these platforms and said words to the effect of "What are they cmplaining about.
In related news, programmer Linus Torvalds was arrested for his role in writing Linux, as well as a number of other international programmers.
This isn't really going to be a lot of help, since its based on a single story I heard, but it should allow some speculation.
When the Lorentz machine was being tested, StationX was listening. At one point, someone sent a long test message. The reply was essentially "Sorry, I didn't quite get that. Can you resend". The machine was then reset and then almost the same message was sent. Since the message was typed by a human, it obviously wasn't exactly the same, and the message diverged after the first difference. This wasn't the whole story, but it did give a clue about roughly how the machine worked. (e.g. a letter in position 344 maps on the Q. The same letter in either position 345 or 343 maps on to G)
Its worth remebering that although the Lorentz had a lot more wheels, it was very rare that a higher level wheel would actually change position.
You seem to have spotted another benefit - All firewire is the same.
After all, who want to have to decide whether to use thin coax ethernet, twisted pair, thick ethernet, 10mbps, 100mbps, 1gbps ethernet etc. For their home cinema system.
And lets be honest, for the application it designed for, 64 devices is not xactly a limitation.
Yes, this was probably due to the Brits making the codebreaking such a huge secret that even our closest allies didn't know where the information was coming from. Its hard to trust information along the lines if "I can't say how I know this but...."
PAL and NTSC both use two interleaved fields. I'm sure these refresh (VSYNC) at 50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz (NTSC). This means it SHOULD be possible to insert an image for half a frame which would be below your viewing threshold.

What do you mean? Since when did geeks have any concept of such abstract ideas as "Night" and "Day"?
Anyway, real geeks just run xsleep as a background task.
Interesting. How much area doeas an exchange cover? And how much do they charge?

suppose that Ford shipped a defective car,
Hmm, thats interesting. What if the defect was in a ROM controlling the engine?
And here was me thinking it was a genetically engineered dolphin.
Sorry, I didn't realise I was treading on another Kaa's toes.

I'm not sure if the other Amiga fans will agree here, but as far as I'm concered, I'll assume that any machine with:
Ludicrously fast graphics
Amiga style screens
the Assign command
A tiny kernal
A non X86 based CPU
And something new and really really cool!
Will be an Amiga.
Pre-emptive task switching
Always had that

Well, yes you can. From Nvidia's web site
But this new machine is actually using Tao drivers. The kernel is simply running on top of Linux.

Your code is derived from void main(){} rather than the other way around. Therefore your code is automatically GPLed.
Wow! Good thing (or bad thing depending on how Open Source zealous you are) void main(){} isn't GPL'ed too, otherwise every C program ever would have to be GPL'ed
