The main market isn't vegans and environmentalists. It's large scale producers of baked goods e.g. restaurants, cafeterias, and manufacturers. The goal is to create a product that's superior to eggs. Its advantages are:
* does not require refrigeration * longer shelf life * no cholesterol * consumable by those with egg allergies
Imagine you're Nabisco or a University cafeteria. Assuming that you can make cookies that taste identical to those made with eggs why wouldn't you make the switch?
You could save money and increase sales by adding the phrase 'cholesterol free' to the packaging.
I wanted to be able to transfer data off of my cell phone. I also wanted to be able to add my own ring tones.
I found a phone that let me do this. I got the MPX220 smart phone. This phone connects through USB both for charging and data tranfer. I just plug in and drag an mp3 or midi to the phone and I have a new ring tone. My phone also plays music. I have minor complaints about some of the software but overall I'm very happy with this phone.
Stop whinning about your phone. Get a better one. Phone you want is out there. If you look around you can even get phones like this free with a two year contract.
The RazrV3 is for people who want style more than functionality.
Here's a
link to a paper I wrote on a somewhat related topic.
Basically I argue that there is a tradeoff between security and general functionality. Technical advances do not change the basic trade off and have historically resulted in additional functionality but no additional security.
(Usability is just a sub-case of functionality in general.)
I would be curious to know what slashdot'er think of this idea.
This company said things about you that you claim are unfair and untrue. INAL but if you're right that's probably slander and/or lible.
You claim that they had a conflict of interest, well that might help your case.
The words "major security risk" seem kind of harsh were they claiming that you were personally untrustworthy or just inconfident? If it's the former then you might have a good case.
Remember firing people is very common but insulting them like this is not.
Now here's a simple plan for you.
1.Find a new job 2.Hire a lawyer 3.Profit
Note I'm not a lawyer. This is not legal advise. yada yada yada.
In my mind time magazine is guilty of fraud and false advertising (INAL).
Users who shell out the money for paid access to the archive can reasonably expect to have access to all articles in the issue. Instead they're not getting what they paid for.
Why does this matter? Paid content on the net is outrageously expensive. ($3 for an article when you could have brought the whole magazine for that much in 1998.) Presumably users who pay that kind of money do so to avoid the hassle of walking to the library. They have been tricked into believing that online access is just as good as access to the physical copy.
These people have been cheated. I for one hope some sleezy class action lawyer sues Time for this. I know subscribers would get next to nothing but atleast there would some consequences for Time.
Perhaps Time has a legitiment reason not to include the article. (They don't own the copyright and Bush et. al. won't let them reprint it.) That's fine but they should explain why the article's missing. They should also include as much information about the article as fair use allows.
There's a reason scp/sftp encrypt everything: sniffing passwords is the simplest and most obvious attack against ftp but it's not the only one.
There are numerous other attacks. And they only require control of a machine on the same lan as the server or client.
You don't care if an attacker sees your data fine.
Do you care if they corrupt the in transit? (FTP has no way to authenticate the data.)
More seriously, someone could also hijack your FTP session. There are even script kiddie tools to do this. Once someone has taken over your FTP session they can control you account. For example, they replace.ssh/authorized_keys with something different and then have shell access.
Don't care about what happens on that machine, well once someone controls your account they can probably get your password. Just stick a few trojans in your path. You'd never notice and they'd get your password and happily break into your other accounts.
FTP is a strange protocol and there are about a million gotcha's with trying to do ftp on SSH.
To start with you sysadmin must allow you to ssh in to the machine running ftp. (Mine doesn't allow it because he does want people slowing down the server by for example compiling on it...)
Even then this will probably only work for passive ftp.
Read the Orielly SSH book if you're curious. They discuss how to do this for about 20 pages. BTW, getting both data and commands encrypted is next to impossible.
Bottom line. Go ahead try it. If you have the right setup it might be easy. But don't be surprised if you have trouble.
Right now I'm what is called an ABD (all but dissertation) this means that I've finished everything one my dissertation.
I'm thinking of leaving grad school because I can't find a professor who will let me work on a topic that I'm interested in and it would take me atleast another 2 years to finish.
We've had a lot people talk about what things are like for PhDs. My question does anyone have any idea how ABDs are treated?
Does putting ABD on a resume make sense? How do hiring managers react to someone who is an ABD?
I recently bought a used Nokia 445X and I was very disappointed.
I've set the refresh rate to 85 hz but I still head aches using the thing.
It claimed to be anti-reflection but it reflects so much that it's only usable if I cover the windows and make sure that no lights are any where near it.
It didn't come with the instruction manual so I was wondering if there is anything I can do to improve it.
and then about a month ago I upgraded to a Nokia 21" Multigraph 445Xpro. It's.22 mm dot pitch and looks beautiful at 1600 x 1200 at 85 hz. It has >ual video inputs, brightness and contrast nobs, >and a USB hub. It was $180 with no shipping, just a 20 minute drive.
Don't give up if it's a bit cloudy. Terminal flashes lighting up clouds from behind are truly spectacular, a Close Encounters of the
3rd Kind type sight!
It was cloudy for me last night but after reading this comment I thought that I could still see something interesting.
I drove to a light restricted area near an
observatory but I still saw absolutely nothing.
I guess I should have known better than to believe what I see on slashdot.
I was at the actual talk at USENIX last friday. The article missed few key points.
First you can get some idea of what is being typed by examining the network traffic and looking at what's echoed since character are sent one at a time.
Something like su\n is easy to find because it's two characters that are echoed and then another character and then the server send 13 or so bytes to the client.
You can also tell when the password is being typed because the characters aren't echoed back to the client.
All you need is a sniffer on the same lan as the client to do an attack like this.
They claimed that by combining this with key stroke timing they were able to significantly reduce the effective entropy of random passwords.
I case your wondering no they haven't tried this with a dvorak keyboard. And yes using hunt and peck typing is a simple way to protect yourself from this.
Why do they talk about two super powers?
The US is the only remianing super power. China is a developing country whose military and economic resources dwarf the US.
Stop refering to it as a super power.
The conference took place last August see http://www.usenix.org/events/sec2000/. This is either an old article or a new web posting of an old paper article.
Yes it's the same program.
But it's the non-free section of debian because it wasn't open sourced.
The debain non-free section contains porgrams which do not fit the debian free software guidelines. see http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
Essentially non-free contains binary versions of closed sourced programs and programs for which the source is avaible under a restrictive license.
Does anyone know what biology people use. After they have been using virus as an english for more than 50 years. The grammar is generally based on precident. We should probably use what ever they;ve been using for the last 50 years.

Coase's analysis is still very relevant today.
There's a great paper applying Coase's framework to explain the sucess of Open Source software.
It's available here.
Anyone who wants to understand why open source works should read it.
I'm in the market for a laptop and plan to use Linux as my primary OS.
I'd like to avoid incompatiblity headaches and want something that I could install Linux on easily and have everything just work.
Something with an integrated wireless card that worked out of the box would be great as well.
Anyone have anyone have any recommendations?

I like the idea of esperanto. After the trouble I've had with French any easy to learn language is very appealling...
I also feel bad speaking to people in English when I'm abroad but most people always seem to speak English better than I speak their native language.
Still I'm wondering if it's really worth learning Esperanto. Any idea of how many people actually speak esperanto?
Also more to the point, have any of the esperanto speakers here actually used esperanto to speak to someone who didn't speak English?
I agree that software patents are a bad idea and I would like to do something to stop Europe from having software patents.
However, I'm not a citzen of the EU.
I don't expect politicians to care about the opinions of those who can't vote in their country.
But perhaps someone with more knowledge of the situation can suggest a way for me and other Americans to help.
I'm working on a PhD in CS now.
