with lots of people walking behind my desk. How discriminate is the cam when picking up movements other than the user's head?
Also, this product could break new ground for web navigation for the handicapped.
This just shows me how much more valuable a directory-like listing is than these graphical representations of the internet (or any network, for that matter). I've seen a few of these graphical representations, and I admit they are cool ideas, none of them seem practical at any level.
This is honestly not a troll: I am curious on how IPv6 would eliminate domain hijacking. I know a small amount about the implementation of IPv6, but I don't see any immediate solution to this social engineering problem.
I'm sure that Intel will do more research in the future regarding big decisions, but its easy to chastise them now in hindsight. At the time, the Intel decision seemed like a great move for a industry leader. Rambus didn't revolutionize the memory market like they could have, but if you are corporation in a competitive market space, you have to take some educated risks.
I'm trying to hire Router engineers and UNIX hacks
hmmmm..... It appears that you are in the right place. Maybe/. should have some sort of resume submission center for people like yourself looking to hire slashdotters.
AOL has denied this rumor: "America Online Inc. has denied a report that it is quietly testing a way to link its popular instant messaging systems, which would have undermined arguments the company made to regulators probing its merger with Time Warner Inc"
Increase the number of Chili ratings that you can get from an email to a scale of one hundred. then you can really wage how good (bad?) your flames are! imagine having flaming contests with your friends ("I got 88 chili's you slimy prick!"). Anonymous Cowards could use a tool like this to make sure their post material is flame-worthy.
Skipping college is not the guarenteed path to financial security, and by no means should be portrayed as such. You sir, are in a unique situation: You have the personal drive to suceed and the ability to understand some complex material (although I will argue MCSE being complex material). 95% of the kids that decide to skip college would not be as fortunate as you. I, myself, am in a unique situation: I graduated with a CS degree and made a great deal more than most of the kids in my CS classes. This doesn't happen all of the time and certainly is an abberation.
You say that a degree is nothing more than reading books and memorizing stuff. I wrote my own assembler, did you? I wrote a java compiler, did you? I worked hands on with artificially intelligent robots. After perusing some of the MCSE material, how can you claim that obtaining a MCSE certification does not involve a lot of reading and memorizing? Don't MCSE's come a dime a dozen these days too?
those discreet mathmatetics courses from back in college will actually help you out. I was arguing an algorithm a few weeks ago with another engineer...he would not buy into my solution until he finally challenged me with: "prove it." After I wet my pants, I actually remembered the math I had learned in college, prepared a solid proof and convinced the other engineer that my solution was valid! Plus, college binge drinking is too much fun to skip.
just had an idea: after this RoboCup, if the organizers could save the robots and develop some sort of interface for them so that they could be controlled via the web...they could have robot soccer matches that folks could get the opportunity to sign up for and play. each person would be able to control a robot on a team during a game...imagine web-cams, strategy, chat...
"Nintendo has traditionally done really well with a particular type of consumer," says Bachus. "Six-to-12-year-olds, let's say. Younger gamers... We're going after an 18-year-old guy away at college for the first time. That's who the Xbox customer is going to be."
well, what about myself and others who have stopped smoking pot and playing games at 4 in the morning? This obviously is not a Microsoft supported statement about the X-Box, but I found it interesting. Do you think that Microsoft has realized that there is a hard-core gamer population that is out of college or do you just think the guy who said this is an idiot?
With my DSL provider, you are allowed to choose your plan: home user, small business, etc. each plan has slightly higher bandwidth (and obviously more $$). Now, I'm not sure if this is a guarentee of the bandwidth in the legal sense of the word. I would be curious to know if you sign up for a 154kbs plan, if you have any options if you do not receive that bandwidth (besides switching ISP's of course).
this just doesn't make any sense to me. Microsoft, the champions of proprietary code, releasing software for Linux. Wouldn't this move kill their business? Why would anyone pay for Office if they could get if for free? MS Office is one reason a lot of people stay with Windows.
I can't believe how much hype DEFCON has this year. It makes me want to puke: its turned into a media circus. Next thing there will be Hollywood types there because its the 'place to be seen.' I understand some publicity is a positive thing, but I think this conference is on its way to becoming a joke.
A trojan horse can be thought of as an Easter Egg: a piece of hidden functionality in some code. Not having these 'cool' easter eggs in most open source software is a great arguement for the OSS paradigm. Easter eggs are more frequently found in closed, proprietary systems...as are more dangerous bits of functionality.

now that's funny ;-]

Our paradoxical culture -- particularly the tech part -- both celebrates work and continually strives to eliminate it
There is much work involved in evolving (you say eliminating) traditional methods of work. I don't see your point here...
i think this would apply as karma whoring. post anything anit-microsoft, pro linux, oss, napster....you know the deal.
i don't like the drugs, the drugs like me.

about R2D2 was how he was imperfect. sort of ragged bot...i hope the computer animation does not smooth out those movements.
will add a whole new element to looking at nudies! Imagine: you can feel the rough spots, smooth spots....mod me down for being a pig!

the script kiddies really pose little significant threat to organizations
that is interesting. could you provide more detail to validate this claim? it seems that you are in a very small minority that believes this.
why litter?
