My experience has been the opposite; MPlayer had some weird quirks on OS X when I tried it recently (like the video window actually being a separate app) while VLC feels more natural.
There's a big ugly gap in the DNS hierarchicalness, which is that multiple registrars can sell you the name example.com, but there's only one DNS Signature Key for.com
Nutch has four developers, one of whom is Doug Cutting who wrote several indexing engines. They count Alexa founder Brewster Kahle as a "friend" and are sponsored by Overture.
You didn't even look at the article, did you? There was no testing. The author didn't model TCP windowing at all, and he even failed to take delayed ACKs into account.
I agree; it seem like it would have been much less work to run benchmarks than to come up with a theoretical model. But at least someone is giving us real data: Small Net Builder 802.11g NeedToKnow - Part 2.
This is a trivial one, but they automatically render hanging punctuation, rather than inline.
Ah, so that's what that's called. I noticed this feature immediately and thought it looked kind of odd. So much of typography has been lost in the transition to digital that when it comes back it looks weird.
FidoNet was obsoleted because SMTP email was much faster, but SMTP is now so fast in most cases that it really can't get any faster. So there's no pressure to replace SMTP with something faster.
VoIP isn't like FidoNet. VoIP is already almost as good as the traditional phone network, so there'll be no need to replace it with something better.
Oh, and I totally don't believe that you really regularly use MPEG4IP for volume compression. I mean, the TOOLS are there, but you have to go through like five different command line steps to make a file. It can produce fine results (it uses Xvid), but MPEG4IP is really like LAME - it's not meant as an end-use tool in and of itself.
No disagreement there. I use a Mac, so I can just use QT Pro or OpenShiiva for encoding.
My point was that in an open source/open standard system you at least have a chance of encoding on minority platforms. With binary-only Real codecs you are out of luck if they don't support your platform.
Based on the first two responses to this post, you'd think people had never heard of inertial navigation. With MEMS accelerometers it ought to be pretty light, too.

Yet another reason to use Mac OS. Adware, what adware?

Isn't that what the registry is for?
Let's compare apples to apples here.
802.11g: 54Mbps theoretical, 25 Mbps actual
USR: 100Mbps theoretical, ? Mbps actual
I'm more interested in the Atheros turbo mode which claims 90 Mbps actual throughput.
To get longer range you can either crank up the power or use a better receiver, which is what AirGo is doing.
Redhat is not dropping their consumer distribution; they're working hard on the next version.
Nutch is not a service; it's just the software. Running it is up to you.

Good luck; you'll need it.
So what's the problem? Buy a/b/g equipment (it's not expensive) and use it in a mode.
But 802.11 isn't full duplex.
It's easy enough to upgrade everything to g-mode only.
Like iBooks? Like PDAs? Like wireless security cameras? There's more than laptops with PCMCIA wireless cards in the world.

Let's see, there's already Vonage, Packet8, and iConnectHere. Can Michael Robertson beat them on price?
Sure, Pingtel phones which each cost as much as a computer have been around for a while, but these phones are finally cheap enough to go mainstream.
What's a WEP? These phones aren't wireless; they use Ethernet.
Most SIP phones allow you to dial an IP address directly; it just isn't very convenient.
What would really be cool is if phones would PARTICIPATE in the Internet Protocol as routers instead of just soaking off it as leaf nodes.
Uh, no. That makes the phones more expensive and makes their performance less predictable.
Vonage uses the Cisco ATA. If you want one "unencumbered", call Cisco and order it. Similar boxes are made by 8x8 and D-Link.
$60 vs. $600 makes a difference.
Yes, that solution is called Packet8, Vonage, or iConnectHere.

mpeg4ip for encoding, Darwin Streaming Server for serving, VLC/MPlayer/Helix/mpeg4ip for playing.
