Maybe we should neuter everyone in case someone decides to rape someone else. Maybe we should ban guns in case someone decides to go on a shooting spree. The point is that in both cases, there are dangers. But that doesn't mean that you should make them illegal. In fact, it's ludicrous. Yes! Let's ban free speech in case someone decides to pirate warez.
Ah, but what you're forgetting is that with the proper cognitive ehancement utilities, dogs and other pets could indeed get to the same level of intelligence as humans. For example, perhaps a silicon chip, containing a multiphase device which interacts with electrons containing the entire base of human knowledge. Now, the dog would have access to all of that, and , perhaps a second electron containing algorithms on how to talk, do math, etc.then, these would be interfaced to the dog's normal brain through a Dog Brain API, which would be run (the interface controller) by a microcomputer running Freesco , to route between normal brain synaptic connections and human-info driven connections. Therefore, the dog might be able to comprehend at least the level a highly intelligent human could.
In the next range of Intel chips (after IA64), they will be introducing "Potentium" element shufflers to translate between solid-state processing/storage devices and particle-driven subdevices.
I guess only if the electron didn't have any states defined on it as of yet. Then the particular information could be coded into the first free states of the new electron's wave oscillation.
What you have to realize is that while TivO is an excellent product, the economic indicators perceived by the companies producing products which could be effected by this product will not accept the fact that this product can be used to undermine their own products. Therefore, they will argue against the use of hacks which could further stimulate the need for such devices.
Actually, in proper French, it would be "Dumais". It doesn't take a French speaking person to figure this out. Most other countries, French speaking or not, realize this. It seems to only be the Americans that manage to mess it up.
Well, put simply, the type of compression used is based on the vector-compression rather than the character-replacement algorithm. In other words, instead of taking characters and compressing them by grouping them and replacing them with tokens, the type of compression used here takes vetors, or areas, of the data, and replaces it with a token to be used to recall that data during the decompression process.
Well, could you write a fully functional X server in Python? Could you write an industrial strength Ecommerce application like the one controlling the prestigious Ford Website? Could you write your own version of Java in Python? Na-uh. While there might be similarities in the philosophies of the two languages, power seperates them. Java is like a master magician whereas Python is like a prentice mage.
I think that pretty much ends the distribution wars. Download Stormix today. It's based on Debian GNU/Linux and as you can see, it's more stable than other Linux distributions. Probably rivals the BSDs in stability, in fact.
I found several bugs in FreeBSD 4.1. I tested a variety of systems with DMZ-originating SYN attacks, and none of them stood up to the attack. What I had was a mail server on one end of the line, and an automated pop client on the other end. I popped mail from the box, but since the firewall inbetween the perimeter network of the DMZ was blocking traffic between the two subnets from one end, the TCP SYN packets were requesting a TCP connection to be made, but the box couldn't find the orginating address of the requesting machine.
Here were my results:
Solaris on SPARC E250 This box was actually the fastest to collapse under the load. Pathetic.
Linux 2.2.16 on SPARC E250 This thing looked better than the Solaris box for a while, but ended up having the same problem, even with the new and improved qpopper daemon from Qualcomm.
FreeBSD 4.1 on Intel MMX-166This was slightly better. It running the Qmail mail system. Unfortunately, however, it was extremely slow (although it didn't really crash at all, it was mostly unusable. The Linux and Solaris boxes crashed about 6 times each)
Windows NT 4 SP6 on Intel MMX-166This was the only system that actually managed to perform decently. It was running the Ipswitch Imail Mail system. It didn't crash and didn't noticeably slow down.
So, there you have it. The results. NT 4/Imail on top, FreeBSD/Qmail 2nd, Linux/Sendmail 3rd, and Solaris/Sendmail stone last.
Looking at this retrospectively, It could be said that Open source products are middle ground. The worst performing system was a Solaris (commercial box) running an open source (sendmail) mail system. The best performing system was a commercial operating system (NT 4) and a commercial mail system (Imail). The two middle-grounders were both running Open source operating systems and mail systems (Linux, FreeBSD, Sendmail and Qmail).
I mean, really. Python might be a "cool" language for the "geek" community, but should it really be used to create industrial strength websites ? Surely something like Java would be more appropriate, since it has been used for 5 years running for industrial strength E-solutions.
This whole open-source movement is going over the top. There are geeks out there talking about Python and Perl instead of industrial strength languages like Java. This just isn't right folks, because while Python might be fun, could it really replace the power and reliability of the Java platform? I dunno.
You see, in the preliminary design of the kernel, the Be Team made a choice. They could either go for huge paging reference identifiers, which would invariably slow down kernel process threading functionality but give them large amounts of memory available for externel application interfacing, etc, or have smaller pages with higher base I/O. They chose the latter option, and that's why Mozilla doesn't link properly under BeOS. It's not a toy kernel, it's just different from most other kernels in its intial design.

What if the forgein worker in question had a Doctor of Technology qualification ?
Who cares about geeks? There are hot female zebras in heat in Africa !!!!!
So a Doctor of Technology should be allowed to use Napster but not a normal user, because they aren't academic enough...?
Bloody dumbo. Profit-making indeed. Vapour-hardware is more like it.
It makes him a 31337 haxor.
This guy has basically summed up the Napster issue quite well. "Stealing Interview by linking" == "Stealing music by downloading MP3s"
