I don't buy it. They have a pretty solid dictatorship going with heavy communistic leanings. This displeases a lot of governments besides the US. If they wanted to be the world's friend, they could just not act aggressively (it's not like South Korea is really waiting for their chance to strike, they are fine letting North Korea just do their thing.) So, why the attitude? Let's look at Cuba, they learned the hard way that a missile "defense" strategy is a good way to lose friends, but for the few decades since, they have been going along fine with no militaristic tendencies and they haven't been overthrown by Turks n' Caicos or one of the many other nations drooling at the chance to storm Havana.
So is North Korea really a bogeyman? I think they give themselves a lot more headache than anyone else tries to pin on them. Why not just set up a "cute dictatorship" by declaring Kim Jong Il "familial monarch" (britain I am looking at you) or "prime minister" (russia I am looking at you) and then hold an election to find a "president" to give things an air of democracy. That way you can at least say you are trying, even if you still do things like invading peaceful neighbors (russia, again.)
That being said, it is nice (as a US citizen) having an international jerk around, it makes the US not look so bad.
I do believe that is why they make the high end models (including the 595) with replaceable leads. Not that it's a cheap or easy option, but that's why you spent that much in the first place isn't it?
This reminds me of Google Moon, neat but ultimately totally useless. Wake me up when there is a kernel map with 2 or 3 orders of magnitude navigable from one interface. If I wanted a list of all the components of the kernel, and hyperlinks to the code, I have plenty of more useful places to look.
Actually, the big thing about electric driving isn't getting started in the first place, it's reclaiming the energy when you have to stop (at least for inner city driving.) If you have a battery that is bordering on a supercapacitor to dump energy into, you can reclaim nearly all of the stopping energy into the battery to use to start again. Given that there are 745 watts/hp, a battery capable of a charge rate of 25KW gives you 33 horsepower of braking capacity with one cell. Get 3 of them in a car and you can reclaim 100hp during a stop, which would be good for all but the most grueling emergency stops (depending on the weight of the car).
The bright young execs are too busy managing to keep the "fair" away from the "balanced" over at the Fox News department, lest they meet and annihilate each other in a blissfully exothermic reaction.
Slashdotted already? Bummer. I have a feeling I know what the conclusion page says... "Do NOT host a web server with IIS on a Macbook running Windows in VMware Fusion"
So the million+ servers in several huge datacenters that Microsoft is busy implementing to provide their SaaS platform is for what again? MS already has "control" over the computers that it's OS runs on, but it doesn't get them very far. Your computer sucks, quite frankly. They want to in-source everything useful so that they can protect it from pirates, viruses, and shoddy hardware. Oh, and so they can charge a toll each time you come and go, but that part they are hoping you won't notice as it will pale in comparison to your cellphone bill.
...remove stains, feed a hungry family of four, earn you more tax rebates, keep weeds off your lawn, clean your clogged drains, polish wood furniture, clean and protect counter-tops, AND increase the MPG of your SUV?
I am SO tired of having to dual boot my phone just to get the great internal features of Google Android alongside the application support of Windows mobile. Finally, I can take advantage of the spare storage, memory, and CPU capacity dwelling on my phone and simply run both at the same time! VMware, you have done it again!
Its a prototype, when (if) these are sold commercially the first value-add someone would probably do is an integrated usb attached powerline ethernet module or 2wire hookup for coax/phone. Then, value-add an outlet on the other side of it, a relay, and a voltage/current sensor and you have the making of a real neat home hobby kit. Include some sensors and some custom programming and sell it for $100 and you could probably do a pretty nice business in fridge/freezer monitoring for small businesses (among other uses).
Huh? You have that backwards, what's intriguing about this is ethernet over power.
Aside from the fact that $800 could get you a pretty small core 2 duo powered machine with much more strength and much less management overhead. What's with you people and beowulf clusters? Am i new here?
No, his complaint was about "putting them to work"... and nothing will get 34 servers working like running Server 2003 and Exchange Server with 2 users. Hell, unless you are building an actual business with them just pir8 the software and call it a day. It's not like MS is going to come after you for the servers in your garage...
I prefer the straw man argument to your tactic, blatant ignorance. Probably less than 1 residence in 10 (I know firsthand this is the case for the all the areas I have ever lived in) has this "magic pipe" of which you speak that has tons of room to draw line through. In the rest of the real world, installing another copper run to every single residence would be EXTREMELY cost prohibitive even for a profitable cable tv/internet/phone operation. It would either need to be done 100% aerially (municipalities are extremely sensitive about any new strung lines lately, so good luck there) or you have to trench them (good luck convincing 100 million homeowners that their yards need to be scraped across in order for your "cable tv freedom utopia" to come to pass.) So, considering that this has not ONCE been even considered, and the cable companies would rather go to the pain of wrangling contracts to "share" use depending on the subscriber, what else do you have up your sleeve?
How about Government being "by the people" AND "for the people" for a change, instead of the only argument being we need either "more of the same" or "less of the same". There is no reason municipalities (read, NOT the state or federal gov't) can't be trusted with providing a simple copper service to a subscriber (in this case, their subscriber is the cable co) and in turn the cable co's have to compete to win business on an even playing field.
Also I'd like to see Cable monopolies removed, and instead run Comcast, Time-Warner, Cox, and Charter run to every home. There's enough room underground to supply 4-5 cables, and thereby let the homeowner have the Power of choice.
Good idea! While we are at it, I think we should run a subway (The mass transit, not the sandwich) underground to everyone's front yard. After all, there's enough room underground for 4 or 5 subway lines under everyone's yard.
What's that? Trillions in cost for a marginal benefit? Oh, right, free choice isn't the ultimate answer after all.
The government owns the roads, the sewers, the schools, libraries, forms of protection (police, fire, etc) and even the air waves, why not let them be responsible for the copper heading into the home (this way the municipality can be pressured for change, which in most cases is a lot easier than relying on some huge monopolistic company). Then, auction off (with yearly renewal) sections of the bandwidth (by frequency division, time division, or whatever) to the highest bidder and recoup most or all of the expense of the system. This way, competition for what really counts (being able to actually DO something with the copper) can flourish, instead of pseudo-competition where 2 or 3 companies vye for a piece of the same copper, only to provide service indistinguishable from each other.
You do realize that, if you are lucky, you have the choice between ONE of those Cable providers and ONE of those DSL providers? In some cases there is shared space on the cable side, WOW vs. Time Warner is what comes up most often, and that's only in areas that don't have an exclusive agreement with one particular provider (like almost all apartment groups, some municipalities even.)
And to answer your question, most all WISPs do use 802.11 of some sort, since the equipment is cheap and the RF space is free, unlike pretty much every other wireless data scheme.
8x10 what? millimeters? While there is something to be said for the artistic aspects of film photography, you really won't win any arguments saying that film (of any modern sort) captures more details than modern, high end digital cameras. Videography is probably the only field not completely run by digital technology, and with some of the new advances in high definition, high speed sensors the days of that are numbered too.
As long as the CO2 is coming from a truly "renewable" source (meaning that CO2 went into it during it's production) and it's production doesn't involve improperly disposing of some toxic chemical (the EPA does a relatively fair job of this,) how much more environmentally friendly can you ever expect capitalists to get?
We could argue all day about how a car trip through the countryside hurt the feelings of a pair of owls and now they aren't talking to each other and their population is in decline and all of a sudden we realize that NOTHING we do is truly sustainable because we are going to have an impact wherever we go no matter what... and then you just have to ask yourself "is the cost of what I'm doing worth it" and that's a question only YOU can answer. If you don't think so, then there are remote islands where you can farm beets and live in a mud hut for the rest of your life, and I won't think any worse of you for it.
Easy, increase the amount of time between the password being supplied and the pass/fail response being sent. If the script has to wait for 5 seconds to see if the password is bad, it increases the dictionary run time by a LOT. The only way around this is to run multiple iterations of the script, each with a section of the list to run. This makes them much easier to spot by other filters.
However, a legit user waiting 5 seconds for the login to complete probably won't generate a lot of complaints.
Also, this bodes well for Open Source everywhere. Eventually all other countries will follow suit and the people will have government systems that work best for their diverse cultures, tailor made UIs and logic, that can also extend inventive solutions.
You BET! Every country on the globe (with the exception, perhaps, of Cambodia) is eager to follow in anything that the hip, trendy Vietnam does. Hell, I would be surprised if the United States can resist the trend, I predict they will issue a government mandate to run free software* by 2010!
*Of course, don't hold me to exactly what that free software will be. The US Govt could, pretty easily, simply mandate that Microsoft Windows be given to them for free.
The kicker is that the baseless claim she made was that Microsoft did something to whore attention without any fundamental basis ("performance improvements"!?! Where is that new filesystem we were promised back in 2001?)

LOL, whatever! This is an April fools joke just like the one about Ted Stevens getting his 7 federal crimes completely dropped! Ha, ha!
They also aren't accelerating at that rate *constantly* for over 8 minutes... most of them peter out after maybe 15 seconds.

Don't worry, it was a "low value" botnet... That makes it OK.
