For God's sake man, I don't know who lead you to believe any of the attacks on the program were personal. People have been known to troll on/. The 20 responses you posted thus far point to some need to get the last word in. Just let it be. Let the program, not sarcastic mean spirited comments be the vindication.
I've posted stuff here and gotten flames about stuff like my mother being a hoe. I didn't write back and egg it on. Just let it be, write up a web page defending your ideas if you must, but don't carry on like this.

An AC posted a comment about hearing Gleick on Fresh Air. That's the same interview that hooked me.
Follow this link to hear the interview in Real Audio format. Gleick talks about the book and Terry Gross tries to pry into his life and a plane accident that almost killed him. It's a good interview.
The Gleick interview is towards the end of the show.
Using my own experiences playing Swat 3 and Half Life, not to mention Super Tecmo Bowl on the original Ninetendo, I can safely say that the potential for the Playstation to be used as a passive weapon is quite real.
Think of it: I spent countless hours playing computer games when I should have been doing Calc II. The potential for a rouge nation to dump millions of playstation 2 systems into the US threatens the very viability of the US GDP.
Look at the recent declines in the stock market. They come very close on the heels of the Playstation 2's introduction. A coincidence..hardly.
After seeing the posting on/. a few weeks back, I signed up. Nothing happened. I figured, oh well, it's ICANN, they're just blowing me off.
Well, I wish that was the case. After a few days of not collecting my email, I now have hundreds of messages from moron twinks who felt compelled to tell all other 12,000 members "Geez, I'm so glad ICANN is doing this" and "When will my PIN come?" Then of course is the best "Me too, when will my PIN come"
Can this organization do ANYTHING right? By the looks of it, days went by without anything happening. I posted a message to the list from an account I wasn't even subscribed with. Is there more of a sin in running a mailing list than to allow the public at large to post?
I have zero hope for this organization if they haven't the common sense to properly configure a mailing list. I don't even remember asking to be on the list, nor have they ever sent instructions on how to get off the list. Despicable.
Something that often gets glossed over when talking about the tech industry is it's impact on the environment. A large part of being socially responsible is being environmentally responsible (Venn diagram guy, chime in [here] please). The fact is, tech industry turns the landscape into a filthy pit.
In Santa Clara county alone, there are 23 EPA superfund cleanup sites -- making it one of the dirtiest counties in America, and number one in superfund in California. In South Dakota and North Dakota combined, there is one superfund site.
As ranked by the EPA, here's the high tech contribution to the superfund sites:
2. FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORP. (SOUTH SAN JOSE PLANT) 4. SPECTRA-PHYSICS, INC. 5. ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. 6. NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORP 8. TELEDYNE SEMICONDUCTOR 11. TRW MICROWAVE, INC (BUILDING 82) 11. INTEL MAGNETICS 11. FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORP (MT VIEW) 11. ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC. (BLDG. 915) 11. INTEL CORP. (SANTA CLARA III) 12. HEWLETT-PACKARD (620-640 PAGE MILL ROAD) 12. RAYTHEON CORP 12. INTEL CORP. (MOUNTAIN VIEW PLANT
Notice how AMD and Intel appear multiple times. They make fast chips, but they make a damn mess.
So is the tech industry socially responsible? Not if you care about the environment.
The Santa Clara county data was taken from Scorecard.
There are register rumors (thereby lending credence to the word "rumor") that the spitfires are actually faster than the Athlons.
Ok, first off, no offense to FreshView here, but I'd like to point something out.
AMD HAS NOT BEGUN SELLING THEIR VAPORWARE SPITFIRE
This thread is full of "wait and see what AMD will offer" or "AMD will trounce" or "AMD this, and AMD that" blah blah.
I couldn't care less which chip is faster. The deal here is that you can actually get your hands on the Celeron II. It exists. It can be purchased. It has been reviewed and tested by the public.
AMD spitfire chip is not out, cannot be purchased and is 100% speculation. Making it 0% worthwhile to speculate about.
To summarize, this is a key vulnerability of Freenet -- it can be saturated with bogus/misleading information quickly and easily.
So in other words, it's a lot like the present day Internet? The same problems exist now. Nobody's mentioned it here though, they're all too busy saying "it can't be done! IT CAN'T BE DONE!"
For those who might be interested, this is a listing of systems certified under the evaluation criteria, by order of rating. So, when do we see Linux there
No, but that's not the fault of the OS. They never even evaluated it, nor OpenBSD, nor FreeBSD, none. They've stuck with big name crap. Here's the list of products that have been evaluated. Interesting that NT, the OS of choice when it comes to r00ting servers, is high on the list of secure solutions. Blame the operator I guess..
I don't know when it happened, but censorship is not a catchall word describing everything to do with Stuff We Don't Like.
Nothing was censored here. No jack booted thugs busted into a local newspaper and smashed the presses. No threats of legal prosecutions were made, no fines for publication. IN OTHER WORDS, NO CENSORSHIP. The courts didn't make reporting crimes illegal, the police didn't beat crime reports with a batton. IN OTHER WORDS, NO CENSORSHIP. There was no prior restraint, no time place and manner restrictions, no content restrictions.
Aside from the sensationalist yellow journalism on Slashdot (something which NEEDS to be censored) what happened here was this:
The police no longer have to be as complete when reporting crime statistics to media.
FOIA only applies to federal stuff. It's like the constitution -- all of the constitution, including most of the bill of rights ONLY applies to the federal government (two ammendments, added long after constituion was drafted make it's application to the states a matter of law).
Most states have provisions for free expression in their constitutions, but not all did, and they weren't required to do so.
Why does everyone love Java? It's so ungodly pathetic. Yeah, it works for cross platform crap, but it's an awful solution.
If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Java developers far too often fall into this category. Just because you can write in Java, doesn't mean you have to. ANSI C seems to be a much more ideal solution.
Requiring people to have java on their machines is an uncessary burden. Before they can even install your software, they have to go out and find yet another piece of software. Or you have to bundle it with your program, which increases your distribution costs and makes you dependent on a third party product that you can't exercise much control over. Why do this to people?
If you are writing for Windows, write on Windows. I'd be disappointed to hear my Nissan mechanic practised exclusively on Mazda cars, "trust me, I can make it work" he'd say. Meanwhile, I'm making a fast break for the yellow pages to find a new dude.
If you really hate windows, try Metrowerks for the Mac, it'll do Mac and Windows for you. You can get Metrowerks for Linux too, but so far as I can tell, the linux version is linux specific and the Windows version is Windows specific. Only the Mac version (correct me via email if you must) supports Java and C on Windows and the Mac.
d I know damn well that Napster is used to download illegal mp3s more than anything else. Same with Gnutella.
Not so actually. If you run Gnutella, and watch what people search for, it's almost exclusively porn and warez. They're MUCH more popular the mp3s. You don't get quite the same "rise" out of of mp3s.
Good point. I used to be a huge fan of NASA, until the "gosh, that's neat" factor wore off. It didn't take long of the same old same old to grow tired.
I (not always though) liked what Carl Sagan had to say. He was steadfast in his view that the way NASA burns through money (quite literally lately) is a disgusting waste. And rightly so.
The way money is spent trying to do things in space could be much better applied to the same research on Earth, where one is not contrained by limits on time in orbit, or space.
I don't know what it costs to put an object in orbit, but the money required just *getting* there is obscene. The most worthwhile projects are right down the street at:fill in state name: State University. These aren't cute little spinoffs, like velcro and tang, but genuine fixes for real problems.
If you think back to what tangible goods space travel has given us, think long and hard whether it is it a side effect, vs an intended outcome.
I don't know what other mirror sites have experienced, but Microsystems is really taking quite the liking to my site.
Looking at my logs, the number of visits from the *.microsys.com domain has skyrocketed. Guess what they are all looking for. Cphack. They don't even bother with the index.html, but go right for the cndecode.html page on my server. Looking at the referral list, it seems that internally some sort of shitlist of mirror sites (C:/blahblah/list.hmtl) or something keeps track of the mirror sites on openpgp.net. So maybe denying access to the domain wouldn't hurt.
Cheaper, meaning hundreds of millions vs. couple of billions.
It's a stretch to say cheaper.
It sounds like NASA is trying to push the "see what you cheapasses in congress did? Ruined us!" angle and trying to get their old, multi billion dollar projects back.
Take a look at insulation. What color is it? Pink? Wrong. Only Owens-Corning brand insulation is pink. All other brands are yellow.
Do you know why only Owens-Corning is pink? They have developed that color specially and it is a trademark.
The reason they can do this is because the color they use is defined in such a specific way: so much blue, reds, yellows etc. in exacting amounts.
Heard of Pantone Color Matching System? Kind of like that, only I think they use ColorSync from Apple Computer to define their pink for use on insulation and in print materials.
As far as I know, so long as you can produce a color to very specific tolerances, say not more than 1% difference or whatnot, and have it defined in a very narrow fashion, you can trademark a color.
Slashdot Mirror
Ok, so the preview is not functional one bit for me. It *should* have read that the above link will take you to a page which details exactly what you are looking for.
Damn slashdot.
http://www.gtgi.com/products/sec urity/cryptcard.html The above link details a PC card solution, exactly which you are wondering about. The product page says: The logical protection provided by the CryptCard is based on the internationally standardized encryption algorithm, DES (Data Encryption Standard). The SuperCryptDES cipher engine used in the CryptCard can achieve speeds of up to 20 MB/sec., therefore exceeding the speed of the notebook PC's PCMCIA bus and hard disk, ensuring little or no performance degradation. Data encrypted with a CryptCard can be decrypted with other DES products or vice versa.
My fear is that this sounds like yet another troll, but it isn't.
What was the last book you read?

That depends on whether a court thinks Rob is a public figure.
If he's not a public figure, number 5 is just 4+1, aka, not important. If he is a public figure, then yep, there has to be some damage to reputation.
I can see both sides of trying to figure out if he's a public figure. I'd err on the side of not being a public figure however.

Looking at my logs, the number of visits from the *.microsys.com domain has skyrocketed. Guess what they are all looking for. Cphack. They don't even bother with the index.html, but go right for the cndecode.html page on my server. Looking at the referral list, it seems that internally some sort of shitlist of mirror sites (C:/blahblah/list.hmtl) or something keeps track of the mirror sites on openpgp.net. So maybe denying access to the domain wouldn't hurt.

Cheaper, meaning hundreds of millions vs. couple of billions.
It's a stretch to say cheaper.
It sounds like NASA is trying to push the "see what you cheapasses in congress did? Ruined us!" angle and trying to get their old, multi billion dollar projects back.
Are you sure? I wouldn't try.
Take a look at insulation. What color is it? Pink? Wrong. Only Owens-Corning brand insulation is pink. All other brands are yellow.
Do you know why only Owens-Corning is pink? They have developed that color specially and it is a trademark.
The reason they can do this is because the color they use is defined in such a specific way: so much blue, reds, yellows etc. in exacting amounts.
Heard of Pantone Color Matching System? Kind of like that, only I think they use ColorSync from Apple Computer to define their pink for use on insulation and in print materials.
As far as I know, so long as you can produce a color to very specific tolerances, say not more than 1% difference or whatnot, and have it defined in a very narrow fashion, you can trademark a color.
Exactly. But how many people are too lazy, too forgetful, too clueless to do this?
Probably the proverbial 99.4%.
