I've had some disastrous sewage problems in my unit in San Francisco because of heavy rains, bad plumbing, failure to follow proper city code, and otherwise.
What happens when waste water pipes back up and the augers, snakes, and fancy plumbing tools shred the fiber to pieces? There's a reason why we use dedicated conduit for telecommunications lines.
A better solution exists, and that's the one used by IPN - Instead of sewage lines, they use the natural gas lines to run fiber optics. Gas will never plug up a pipe and fiber will never start a fire as it's only photons.
I got news for you, it's done over a simple GET request with buffering, and yes, it's simple HTTP.
When you scrub the video and move the pointer around, it just reissues the GET request with an offset, which is perfectly valid HTTP (and one way that HTTP supports resuming of downloads.)
This is going to be about as useful as when Mozilla started putting email in a database vs. flat file. Performance took a serious hit and it became impossible to work with large mailboxes.
There is no way you can tell me that reading from a quasi-relational database (SQLLite) is faster than parsing a raw text file in C. Maybe you won't see much of an impact because the bookmarks file is small, but this is just dumb.
The early Juniper routers were basically a BSD box running gated with some custom code added in. They ran BGP, OSPF, and all major routing protocols.
I don't think there were enough of these boxes to constitute a major application for the Internet, though. The majority of the Internet is routed by Cisco and Foundry devices.
Perhaps the right answer here would be that Cisco IOS is one of the most important Internet applications, ever.
As with most issues, it's more than a simplistic, "We don't care". What many people fail to notice is that you don't have to be #1 or be "cool" to make money.
When I worked for a search engine that was #3 in the rankings, the company mantra was, "We don't want to be number one. We can't compete with that, but there is a large amount of money to be made by being a competitor to #1."
There's no reason why Me-toob can't succeed right along side you tube, cool factor or not.
Foundry ServerIrons handles ACLs in hardware. So do Cisco Catalysts. If you turn on logging, they switch back to software ACLs, but with logging turned off, ACLs ar ein hardware.
If you're on tMobile, tell them that you're getting "Unable to read SIM card" messages on your phone and that you need a new SIM, which they will gladly send you free of charge.
Then your phone's identity will change when you replace the SIM, and you can have some peace of mind, enh?
There's a lot going on right now in television that resembles what happened on the Max Headroom television series. A dystopian future where the people who don't pay for education can't get it (even things as simple as the ABC's, but we're not there, YET), intellectual property controls, corporations the size of governments with the same amount of power, and even this patent by phillips was part of an episode.
There's a scene where an officer walks to a woman's apartment, pushes the off switch on the TV and exclaims, "An off switch! She'll get 20 years for that!".
Ah well, It's primetime and it's time for dancing poodles on TV. Gotta go.
Blank is beautiful!

I feel like this article missed a ton of other items that were at the show. Yeah, okay, ATAoE is cool, but there was way more there.
The NetBSD toaster has already been mentioned, but what he neglected to discuss were some of the other offerings:
- Splunk (www.splunk.com) an amazingly cool log searching system, which is basically google for system logs
- The large number of companies offering huge disk arrays (19TB+) that ran directly on Linux. (Aberdeen and Pogo to name two)
- The companies (communigate, others) who were actually offering systems to kill M$ Exchange
- ActiveGrid, a GUI system for developing LAMP Applications. Very slick, easy interface.
- Lots of companies offering embedded linux products and small form factor linux servers. "Linux Everywhere" seemed to be a common theme.
Odyssey makes machines that do this already (boot from a central server, and play the games the server hands to it) and the majority of slot machines that exist on the casino floor already have ethernet and share the odds distribution between them.
This keeps odds at 1:600, or whatever they need to be instead of NSlotmachines:600.
The real killer app here is one that fixes all of the synchronization issues between these disparate formats (say, with SyncML) and then uses some sort of social networking system (like tribe or myspace) to tie it all together.
Companies had a first shot at this (WHEN.COM for example) but blew it because they went after profits instead of real innovation (or in when's case, got bought out by AOL.)
Oxidation stresses are not caused by "empty serotonin receptors". You've got those in your brain for most of the day anyway!
Oxidation stresses are caused by a side effect of MDMA - MDMA causes the release of dopamine, and because the reuptake pumps on the presynaptic terminal are working overtime, they take in dopamine by accident. Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) breaks down dopamine and turns it into HCL, and that destroys neurons.
Also, Serotonin replenishes itself in days, not months, and the replenishment can be assisted with 5HTP and Vitamin B12.
This has nothing to do with altering people's reading habits to read scientific papers as you postulate.
It has to do with providing access to tax-funded research without additional costs incurred by interested researchers, which is for the greater scientific good.
It's got nothing to do with the fact that the US is too large -- the real problem is that the automakers fought the railroads, and government deregulation divided and harmed the railroad industry.
Trains never really recaptured their glamour after the 1920's, but their share of freight traffic far outweighs what they do for passenger travel these days.
Before this debate gets too out of hand, has anyone weighted amount of spam vs. size of network?
UUNet is a large, large carrier with many networks globally. Are they the worst spammer because they have the most network entry/exit points, or are they unfairly attacked here because they are just large?

There's nothing wrong with Flash Video. The upcoming flash release will have H.264 support for HD Video. It's just not out yet.
The best quality to bitrate ratio you're going to see right now is either DIVX or Quicktime H.264.

Honestly, there's not that many modules that are substantially incompatible with each other between 1.3.x and 2.x.
In my many years of running major web sites under Apache, the only module that ever was an annoyance was mod_evasive vs mod_dosevasive / mod_bw.
Most popular application servers have compatible modules to Apache, and the majority of users don't run anything but static HTML.
You don't need people to detect camcorders. Technologies like PirateEye detect camera lenses and find people who are recording in theaters.

Wired had a full article on this months ago:

A hosts file just isn't an effective way to block ads. You really want something more like Privoxy.
I got news for you, it's done over a simple GET request with buffering, and yes, it's simple HTTP.

Maybe you haven't worked with celluloid or Bakelite before?
It works as a plastic, but it's very brittle and no where near as strong as most commercial plastics derived from hydrocarbons.
You're certainly not going to get ABS to PEG from sugars right now (but maybe PEG, commonly found in water bottles is a good candidate to start with)
If it's sufficiently high enough resolution, I can see a number of business uses for a camera phone:
- Insurance adjusters
- Forensics work
- Real estate

Hey, once they get to Earth, they don't have to build sets anymore, right?
The show becomes cheaper to produce. Just throw in a matte painting here and there with some ships in the background.
Maybe he meant to say 'gated', or zebra.

I don't see how this is anything new.

You should.

But apple included software in the existing Ipods to read smart media cards and copy data from cameras.

It was a stick shift!
You could have dropped the car into -neutral- by placing the stick in the center. No excuse.
I'm confused at how you were at risk.
This has nothing to do with altering people's reading habits to read scientific papers as you postulate.
It has to do with providing access to tax-funded research without additional costs incurred by interested researchers, which is for the greater scientific good.
I'm in complete support of this proposal.
So, does this mean the free luxor/mandalay bay/excalibur monorail is no longer free, and is now for-free? ugh!
It's got nothing to do with the fact that the US is too large -- the real problem is that the automakers fought the railroads, and government deregulation divided and harmed the railroad industry.
