I fully expect that in 30 years when I have 18 year old kids living in the basement, that they will have the inherent know-how to reassemble any such thing. I.e. our 50 year old parents look at us and go "How did they figure that out?" I likewise expect to someday look at my children and wonder how they know such a useless trick.:D
Those handwritten notebooks are legal documents proving you did that work when you dated it. That's why engineers keep notebooks. If they are digital, do they keep their status as legal documents? This is an important question to me, so I hope someone knows:D
Nah, it's not. People that are going to shell out the cash for these machines are smart enough to know that the stuff they're stealing online aint gonna play. They wont buy.
do i still have the asterisk by my login name? i really hope not.
slashdot is what happens when you dumb it down enough for the masses to read it. just like how cnn.com always has a post about britany spears, because that's somehow always world news.
The best profit margin any dialup ISP ever saw was about 1.80 a user in profit, back when ISPs had to turn down new customers cause they couldnt keep up in the front office...
If I ran a cafe, I think I'd give out free internet, but you'd have to plug in for it. Maybe have 4 booths with jacks.
Whenever we wanted to play tennis growing up, we'd always just sit along the fence if the courts were all used up. Very quickly someone would feel like it was time to move on and let us in. Maybe having a visible net connection would do the same thing.
Yeah it's sad, but you can be sure any of the genius that was once SGI has long since moved into the active growth areas of the world. Just because SGI is about to die off doesn't mean that the giant brains that made it what it once was are waiting to be boxed up. They're already at the thinktanks at Sun, Apple, IBM and Intel, or Google! Who knows, all I am betting is if they were smart enough to make SGI big long long ago, they were smart enough to go have fun in a new sandbox once things got bleak at SGI.
I can see the perspective of the above poster; TCP over IP is the most widely used protocol used on the Net, and in that, BitTorrent is the largest slice -- Second to TCP/IP. Although it's kind of apples and oranges, I admit.
Does this mean that if I have a digital ID, and someone spoofs it, that if it says I went to another country and I didnt, that my word wouldn't be enough against the transaction log of such a device?
It doesnt have to be on the minute, it just has to be every 15 minutes.. so just write some meta data into your filenames or read the id3 tags, and have the program count if the next piece will go over the 15 minute marker. If it does, then just play the ID file and you're good for another 15 minutes.
Or just patch a real audio mixer into the equation that plays every 15 minutes no matter what:P
I have 1.1 terrabytes in my computer, it's worth about 400 bucks. The next number that'll get my jaw to drop is seeing someone with a petabyte kicking around.
I took a mass comm class this semester and was dismayed to learn that to a TV station, it's not about what is best... it's about what gets the most eyeballs. "Smarter" shows like Enterprise are doomed from the start -- replacing it with mudwrestling hobos is always going to get more attention. A publicly owned corporation has a legal obligation to its shareholders to switch to the promise of more eyeballs. Sucks huh!
Question for the windows folks. If you're in msconfig and you change it to Selective Startup, is there a way to leave it in this default state with no popups that cancel the effect after rebooting? For my own machine I would be more than happy to be the person initiating everything. You can see clearly that the machine will work fine without loading any of that extra stuff... why cant i just NOT have autoloading events?
There's probably no need to get that fancy. Get a vonage account. It's 25 bucks a month for unlimited calling. It comes with a router that has voip ports preconfigured for your account (and you cannot access the SIP credentials, unfortunately). Plug a cordless telephone into it for your home use. That takes care of question 2. The caller-id info is in the call data, so your cordless phone will show you who is calling just like normal. As for the other point from question 1, you can't get this sort of granularity from this configuration, but you can take care of the time of day and location. There's a script on freshmeat that will log into the vonage site and set a forwarder phone number (i.e. your cell phone). Really, the only reason to use asterisk is to get that whitelist granularity, but you have to ask yourself if it's worth the hundred hour time commitment to understand it well enough to execute. The method above takes about 4 hours of work, if you're checking everything out for the first time.
The etymology of broadcast in a medium sense was in the first radio broadcasts; they were called broadcasts because they, like the farmers they had back then just like today, would "broad cast" the seeds from the tractor, to plant a harvest -- the seeds would originate from the tractor in any random pattern outwards, not knowing really where they would land. When this model was brand new, no one could figure out why broadcasting -- literally a communication to no one essentially -- would be useful. The telephone company had the first stab at broadcast radio, and the first model they chose was to use something similar to the telephone model. They let people rent out time slots to send their message to the people. This model obviously didnt work out, and the next model, making their own content, and selling sliecs of advertising space in between, is the same model we use going on 100 years later. The cast suffix has been integrated into many other technologies online since...
If they had a fault in their code, it probably wasn't obvious to them! As an animal with a 2 second "is this useful? no? toss it" memory, I always find myself doing simple things twice. The first time is "did it work? yes? next". If it fails, I probably wasn't paying attention to what may have caused it -- my thoughts were probably elsewhere. Granted, working on a piece of code should lend some merit to more careful concentration, but if I noticed a piece of my code failing, the most likely thing I would try next is running it again. My reasoning for this may not be the next as the same person, perhaps I visualize the code better when I run it again. What would be even more fantastic would be, in my trial and error, guess and check problem solving method, that the code ran the second time! In which case, I would be very likely to not only run it a third time, but beyond even that. Then again, I could be completely wrong, and it could be exactly that everything is so fast these days, there's almost no resource loss in just rolling a new one and trying again. I can't imagine how much better a programmer I would have been 30 years ago -- a recompile of something (or whatever method) could take hours or days -- you had to think before you acted! When I'm doing my CS 101 homework, it's easy to open a second terminal with a simple shell loop that constantly compiles my code and runs my binary! How sloppy is that? So I suppose there's quite a bit of forethought into this article and comment before me, and it.
Does anyone else have a father who likes to tell the story about how Detroit's had cars that get 80 mpg since the late 1970s, but never release it for $CONSPIRACY_THEORY reasons? I remember randomly thinking about it one day, how all of a sudden I just didn't believe him, that it didnt make sense, and I think that was the first day I felt like an adult...

Problem 8. (IPv6) (a) Given that IPv6 addresses are 128 bits, calculate the total number of possible IPv6 addresses. (b) Calculate the surface area of the earth in square feet. Consider the radius of the earth as 3,963 miles, and one mile is 5280 feet (the surface area is 4ðr2). (c) Calculate the number of IPv6 addresses per square foot of earth surface. (d) Repeat the same calculations for IPv4; how many IPv4 addresses per square foot?(a) 2128= 3.4 x 1038number of IPv6 addresses. (b) The surface area of the earth is 4ðr2where the radius r = 3,963 miles. The surface area turns out to be 1.97 x 108square miles = 5.5 x 10152 square feet. (c) There would be 3.4 x 1038/5.5 x 1015= 6.2 x 1022IPv6 addresses per square foot of earth surface. (d) 232= 4.3 x 109number of IPv4 addresses. Divided by the surface area of the earth, there would be 4.3 x 109/5.5 x 1015= 7.8 x 10-7IPv4 addresses per square foot.3

I'd thought slavertisement was a clever pun, but now I'm convinced it's less a pun than truth. Oh, well. I still found it interesting at least.
I dunno how big businesses work, but I know I bought a car worth 20 grand I'm worth about 11 grand in total :P maybe it's the same deal.

Yeah, sounds really cool. "How could we get america's list of screen names for spamming?" "ugh... try any-thing?"
Time for whitelisting.

Either should work. Gig ethernet PHY often support Auto-MDIX.
