For my previous phone upgrade (Nokia 5120 to Nokia 8260), I spent a couple hours tediously punching my address book into the 8260 on its dinky-ass keypad.
Your service provider is an idiot. They (and you!) can sync between two Nokia phones using their IR ports.
That said, as an app developer, I'm waiting for the 3650. Mmmmm, 4 MB of heap for my MIDP....
Nokia has forty percent of the market, and was first to market with a useable implementation of MIDP (WTF prevented MIDP 1.0 from including arbitrary waveform support!?), among other things.
Some subscribers should make a mirror of the site when it's actually in the mysterious future....
Whenever I see an article from TMF, I do so. Of course, I only post the mirror if the site is hurting from/.'ing, since I've gotten flak over hosting mirrors for/.'d sites before.
Curiously, though, I haven't gotten any hate mail for hosting mirrors ever since the dot-com collapse threw ad revenues into a tailspin. Odd, eh? You'd almost think that it must be a causal relationship.
I'm not sure where you went to "router school", but I learned my routing (just like I learned my Linux, BSD, and UNICOS) in the dirt. Until you've fucked it up a few times, you don't really understand it.
By the time you've graduated to fucking it up in SOURCE, you're qualified to administrate a production box. You understand the dangers of success.
One of the gentlemen in my division spent two years carefully toeing the line of what he understood. Finally, I pointed out the fuckbox we keep on the network for three dozen different uses, and explicitly told him to make it fail and then bring it back up. When he had completed that, I was at last willing to write up promotion papers (which is good, since we had been needing a new senior network tech).
I want my people capable of doing their day-to-day jobs without errors--if they couldn't do that, the network wouldn't be able to run. But at the same time, I want them to be able to do the occasional impossible task without fear of failure--THAT is how to run a network team.
BTW I assume that virusses on P2P networks use a similar method to spread as fast as possible.
Huh?
As a matter of fact, routers emitting IGMP broadcasts and every WinXP machine replying have been causing me a lot more trouble than BGP.
Yep, it's a bitch. I'm a big fan of throwing big ping packets at the broadcast addresses that cover the printer pool, though. Most printers have *terrible* protocol implementations. Send 30k ping to broadcast with a falsified source, you'll get twenty printers trying to respond. It's great!
Just to clarify: the small, Virginia-based ISP was "MAI Network Services". It took quite a bit of Googling to locate that, so I figured I'd save everyone else the trouble.
Check out CiteSeer's links: CiteSeer. This problem has been known for quite a while. Check out the MOAS problems with BGP, though, if this isn't enough to worry you.
Scary correlary: are humans with underdeveloped "thinking systems" (CPU, inputs, and outputs) not worthy of the right to exist? Is there some class-level exception to this policy (i.e., if one human proves itself intelligent, all humans are considered exempt)? If so, what is a class? Sub-species/species? Social grouping?
Yeah, I remember trying (and failing) to convince others of this problem.
My aunt ran one of those ANRS shops--fixed Nintendos and video cameras down in Texas. We got Star Fox for the SNES a week before it was released to the general public! I remember a story she told me about a guy who took a *HAMMER* to his NES and a Genesis cart, trying to get them to go together... she had to send that one along to the corporate repair shop, where they declined to fix it and just sent him a replacement unit instead.
The important part of any encryption system is how the data is decrypted. Particularly, the following paragraph distresses me:
Data security is one of the key concerns for governments and corporate users today as hacking becomes increasingly prevalent. In 2000, an FBI survey showed that 90 percent of participating companies had their computer systems vandalized by rivals, hackers, or even disgruntled employees. In January 2000, hackers stole 250,000 credit card numbers from an online CD store. They tried to blackmail the store. When it refused to pay, the hackers published 10,000 card numbers on the Internet.
So, great, you have a super-encrypted MySQL database for all your credit cards. You access it by normal methods; it decrypts data on the fly after authenticating you. Your username is "root" and your password is blank. All the encryption in the world isn't going to save you.
Everyone needs to learn to stop throwing encryption at a problem and calling it security. Encryption should always be the base layer of any security scheme, never the top-level element (and certainly not the sole one!). Encrypt your databases on disk and in RAM and on the way to and from the CPU if you want, in case the machine is physically stolen. But don't forget to apply the latest patches, rotate passwords, implement effective firewall rules, and guard physical access to minimize the danger of it walking away in the first place.
Because the ET with the CD-ROM linked in the story has data encoded in 8-bit ASCII. The data is standard English. See http://www.swirlednews.com/article.asp?artID=512 .
So they can speak English and in fact even understand ASCII--why can't they communicate another way? Thy parent's question is valid.
Well, if Shinomura is to be believed, he SYN-flooded a box to stem its RSTs as he guessed ISNs to exploit a trust relationship between a big box and an X terminal (the SYN-flooded box). And he did it in the course of (IIRC) 14 seconds or so.
Some amount of programming must have happened to enable that kind of an attack in that kind of a timeframe.

A little morbid, yes, but fascinating. While I was looking at it, it jumped from $47 to $106.
