We can't be sure why they didn't register it, but I think it could show good faith. If I wanted to setup a MySQL fansite I would be thrilled to be able to register the.org domain, but I think it's a very bad bussiness modell to try to earn money from it.
And when you got this 1Gb what are you going to do with it, most ppl can't even configure their PCs correctly to supply a steady 100Mb feed, yet alone receive. It is very hard to fill up a Gb, today atleast but it will probably get easier every year.
The problem is that to get it you have to fit some (rigorous) requirements and pay $1.500-$3000 per quarter, (which is the fee to lease the fiber to your home) and it is a all Cisco network so you have to buy some VERY expensive equipment. I mean a singlemode fiber module cost $200-$900, and then you need the switch etc. etc. etc.
Well that doesn't help because all the big bandwidth ISPs are very trigger happy. Havenco will have this problem to eventually, not that some one will cut their cable, but they won't beable to buy a connection to the internet.
Well actually the 8 unit number is the limit for Networks of bluethooth units. Consider that even though you have a basestation that can reach 100M the clients, you PalmV, can't. So basestationPalmV communication is ok, but PalmVPalmV might not be that plausible(sp?) on that distance
The coolest thing I have seen was the battery powered Serial converter, you can just connect it to a Routers console port, and voila no more fiddling with cables.. I love it..
Please, Bluethooth is very free, but the delays are really annoying considering the large number of devices that are ready for massproduction. There are atleast 2 Companies, here in Kista/Sweden, which can launch a wide array of products when Bluetooth ships. One only wish Ericsson could get there act together and release there cool techs on time.
Take a look at KTH's version KTH/PDC's CAVE ("VR Cube"), it's based on CAVE tech too but have been around a little longer. I have tested it and while it's extremly cool (you can almost feel that big 3D object in your hand) it has some clear limitations. It is very messy to be several people in there at once. To many cables, you do not feel free because of all the cables.
One more problem is that you can see the edges, where the walls join. I think this could be solved with a sphere, but I'm not sure how they are going to do fullimmersion 3D without headtracking (now talking about the Oxford project). The cool thing with the VR Cube and all CAVEs out there is that you can acctually leen over an object and see what behind it, this adds alot to the feeling. So I hope the Oxford guys understand that that they have to have headtracking.
Anyone got a sub $2000 headtracking system? (Tracking at least four objects)
Doesn't ATM suck big time when you are talking about homeusers, I mean ATM switches are so goddamn expensive (Because of all the buffer memmory required). I would love to see DTM in a City wide Network, being developed by Net Insight, and Dynarc.
You can join 412 fibres in 10 minutes, this is including the time for testing and such. They do it at a much larger scale in Japan, but not with the same quality. But way back (5 years;-) in Brittain it took something like 3 days to join 400 fibres, and it took 4 people. Now you usally work in pairs, you can do it on your own, but there are rules..;-)
$100, for the tx/rx modules. And then about $200 for the card. This isn't that expensive, I mean imagine massproduction for the home user market, and they can produce tx/rx that emmits diffrent colors wich will make it possible for 500 ppl to share the same outgoing channel.
I work in the same building as the leading fibre laying company here in Stockholm, we've talked about Japans fibre structure. Apperantly Japanese fibrecompanies, lay something like nx1024 fibres at atime, they also weldge them together at the same time this will get you pretty crappy performance, because there really isn't any good way to join 400+ cables at one time.
Oh well they have absolutley no shotage of fibres in Japan, I promise. And talk about bandwith, right now they have a teoretical max beandwith of atleast 80 PetaBytes/s between Tokyo and Osaka.
The problem isn't that Debian is Newbie unfriendly (It was my first Linux Dist, way back) but that you actually have to think. You just can't hit enter five times to get those 500pkgs installed. You have to consider, what do I need.
Dslect is still the only way to install debian, you need mch more finegrained controll than the tasklist gives you.
dselect is unique work of art, the most powerfull installer out there.
There are to many european companies that have backbones in Europe, so that would only gives us a small glitch for 1 month while Telia, BT and the others take WorldComs marketshares. I know that Telia has lots of blackfibres through out europe.
But if Cisco was to shutdown...
Any way I'm more concerned about what will happen if the UK shutsdown their hub in London. That really would hurt me, our SwedenSpain connection goes trough London, most of the transcontinet cables do to. Many of them are just repeaters.
Were I work we usually measure bandwidth in fibre paires.:-) We got severel fibres going to all the big provideres here + the education network, and even though fibres are limited by technology (mostly Gigabit ethernet or ATM), it's much more dynamic than, just stating 1Gbps..
I love Stockholm, it's very cheap to get your own fibres.
> teaching GNU/Linux to more than 700,000 adult students in Sweden Hmm, there's roughly 8.5 million people in Sweden, and is this guy trying to tell me that one tenth of the population is learning Linux and I've never heard about it?
It seems higly unlikly, could someone please offer an explaination?
I've worked at the patent Office for ten years now and I've yet to read a whole patent, I mean jezz those guys just go on and on. So you see we don't care and you don't have to either. Just ignore them and let them spend money on lawyers, that means tax for the government and money to keep us up and running.

HOWTO Implementing a Dual Boot Life, Family and Geekhood.
Serioulsy, love does not come by implementing but by chance and an opened mind.
I post a story at slashdot and then get spamed like there is no tomorrow.. 36 spams in one day...
Checks like this is usually done by the MTA, as with RBL you can just add a warning that this might be spam to the headers of the mails..

Payment methods designed for the Internet Is a good site..
Would you care to share some good links?
Well that doesn't help because all the big bandwidth ISPs are very trigger happy. Havenco will have this problem to eventually, not that some one will cut their cable, but they won't beable to buy a connection to the internet.
Since when was Cisco associated with cheap products? This thing will cost a lot of money.

No, with shutter glasses or some kind of polaroid glasses, you get real 3D. Then you can you emulate a wall.
One more problem is that you can see the edges, where the walls join. I think this could be solved with a sphere, but I'm not sure how they are going to do fullimmersion 3D without headtracking (now talking about the Oxford project).

Thank god for state-owned fibres...

Shrinkwrap products are expensive even if your time has value.
