At least in my opinion p2p and crypto are the edges in coding right now. Both can be hugely successful if you succeed in writing them properly. They can also be a huge failure if done improperly. Personally, I'm amazed that there aren't more p2p worms/remote exploits out there. Every now and then there are a few breaks in crypto from a weird angle, but in general they have been very successful as well.
Normally, they are not required. However they tend to help in odd situations, like when a name matches a sql reserved word, or contains items that need to be escaped. Yes its bad form to use those for column names, but that doesn't mean no one does it or that you shouldn't be able to do it.
If isp's tried to use this in any kind of meaningful way, suddenly there would appear dozens of nat gateway scrubbers that would make sure that the output packets are all uniformely generic. It'll probably turn off the evil bit too.
OMG! This looks like the coolest thing ever. Pop a web browser in there and I've got a new item on my Christmas list! It already has some kind of wireless Ethernet connection, what looks like to be a nice color backlit display (even if its less than 16bit color), touch screen capability, rechargeable batteries... wow!

Who will design the languages of the future? One of the most exciting trends in the last ten years has been the rise of open-source languages like Perl, Python, and Ruby. Language design is being taken over by hackers. The results so far are messy, but encouraging. There are some stunningly novel ideas in Perl, for example. Many are stunningly bad, but that's always true of ambitious efforts. At its current rate of mutation, God knows what Perl might evolve into in a hundred years.
Also note the last 2 reasons for hacking a home computer are really for working with servers. The truth is, not too many people really care about hacking your computer, unless its a means to an end.
In a 4 page press release by the maintainers of the ISS, several key points of the X-Prize have been changed:
All participants have 30 days from when they announce thier intent to compete for the X-Prize, to successfully complete two consectuive launches.
Vehicles no longer need to be privately funded or built.
The percentage of non-propellant mass between the two flights that may be replaced is still limited to 10 percent, except in the event of the media reporting otherwise.
The maintainers of the ISS maintain the right to oversee maintance of the X-Prize craft. Additionally, they reserve the right to coordinate the maintance with third party or other governmental agencies.
The X-Prize will be awarded when the maintainers of the ISS either: witness two successful consecutive launches within the provided guidelines, or the maintainers of the ISS receive information from reliable sources - or the media - that the launches have been completed.
If they could just fit 24 more on there, it would be a much easier number to work with...
Blockquoth the article:
Bing Fung and colleagues at the University of Oklahoma found that the 19 hydrogen atoms in a lone liquid crystal molecule can store at least 1024 bits of information.
They did record at least 1024 bits. But I guess they aren't being used, because otherwise,/. would have sentient beings checking facts, grammar, and spelling before posting.
The Xabre600 is positioned against more mid-range offerings like the Radeon 9000 Pro, which is why you won't find it running at 500MHz with a Dustbuster strapped on its back.
Proposals for systems involving mandatory watermark detection in rendering devices try to impact the effectiveness of [file sharing systems].... In addition to severe commercial and social problems, these schemes suffer from several technical deficiencies, which, in the presence of an effective [file sharing system], lead to their complete collapse. We conclude that such schemes are doomed to failure.
Note, the article actually says that the watermarking is doomed to failure... not p2p. I've got no idea where on earth you got that text, but its not correct.
...assuming you're using a file system that only permits a single file's data in one cluster. There are more intelligent file systems out there.
such as? All the filesystems I know of divide the hard drive into portions and assign one or more of those portions to each file. Even the newer database driven filesystems do this. Weather they are called clusters, or inodes, the result is the same. Of course, I'm only familiar with the more mainstream filesystems... I'd love an example of a filesystem that did something differently.
What if you were an inventor and had a great idea for a Gizzmo-matic. This will also make tons of money. Now, you can go ahead, and make it, copywright it, and either manufacture it or liscense it. And lets say the Gizzmo-matic makes you 100k/year in proffit for the rest of the copywright term (lets say it expires upon death). If you are 30 years old, and live to be 75, that's a large chunk of money. If you are 74.5, its not so much money. The thinking is with life+X years is that older inventors can still have a reson to create.
Now, I know what you are thinking... why not create it for "the benefit of society"... well, if you were creating it for the benefit of society, you wouldn't be copywrighting it anyway. Copywright is supposed to be an incentive to create... not just an incentive for younger people who can reap the rewards of thier creation to create.
Now, the author has to shrink the cluster size of his hard drive, and make up some new indexing structure that is more efficient so any shrinking of the executable actually matters.... It doesn't help if the executable is 32 bytes or 4096 bytes if you only have 4k clusters, you're still eating the same amount of space.
At one desk, users can move a wireless mouse's pointer from the screen of one computer to the screen of a laptop, with no wire or wireless connection between the computers themselves. That allows copying or moving material between the computers, a task that would otherwise be more difficult.
Can ANYONE tell me how they managed to achieve this... seems like someone made a huge leap in communication technology... (or some writer quoting MS dribble)

I used to have single quotes around it, but then I was accousted because people thought it was a string :)
At least in mysql, you do not need quotes around a numerical field.
