This is the best part of the article: "The hafnium explosive could be extremely powerful. One gram of fully charged hafnium isomer could store more energy than 50 kilograms of TNT. Miniature missiles could be made with warheads that are far more powerful than existing conventional weapons, giving massively enhanced firepower to the armed forces using them."
In fifty years, we'll be defending our right to bare hafnium tipped bullets. God Bless America.
Sad news indeed. As an Outlook (not Express) user, what will my News Reader be? When I go to a nntp:// address, Outlook Express loads. So what's Microsoft going to do about this?
What are they talking about? I never see this "crash" you speak of. I guess I don't install a bunch of crap that would cause it. I use XP at the office all day every day for coding. Guess I'm one of the lucky.
My wife uses XP at home (pretty much the same version), and she gets this crash report all the time. And all she really does is play hearts, and read email. We're not on a firewall at home like I am at work, so maybe questionable network traffic has something to do with it.
At home, I'm on a tiBook. I only use the XP box as a router for my tiBook.
If that's the agreement, then that's the agreement. It's not like the agreement changed after the unit went on eBay, that's how it was when it was first sold to the original owner, and the owner chose to ignore it. That, or the original owner never actually read the entire agreement.
Software license agreements come in many forms. Some of them ask for one payment up front, like at a retail outlet. Some ask for no payment, except that you post a copy of the license somewhere prominent. A large number of licenses are written in between.
If it's true what Thomas Jefferson said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance," you'll need to think about your point, because you're idea tramples on the freedom of those who write license agreements the way they want.
You're saying that the agreement must follow a particular set of rules, like it can only ask for one payment, and that's it. Who are you to dictate how a third party should write a software license? What about software companies operate under a subscription license. Are you saying this is crap too?
It's the seller fault for not telling the buyer about this. The seller originally agreed to the license, and should have pointed out the extra charge on eBay before bidders began bidding. A real estate lender has to do this before you apply for a loan. It's called a Good Faith Estimate, and it spells out the charges other than the monthly mortgage.
Mass produced WiFi sniffing robots that pick up passwords are fine, RFID tags that keep people from stealing things under their clothes are bad. Ok, just so I understand.
Ok, what if these mass produced WiFi sniffing robots are get sold at WalMart? What then? You'll have a WiFi sniffing robot with a RFID tag. What a dilemma.
IANAKH (I am not a kernel hacker), but why not just abandon 2.4-2.6? Fork 2.3 and go from there. I know, it's crazy...I'm probably going to regret this comment. I'll crawl back into my cubicle now.
Dr Kazuo Eda, heading the research, said: "It is like the metabolism of food. Human bodies can process glucose and obtain energy. When glucose is oxidised, electrons can be obtained."
IANAB (I am not a biologist), but if the process our bodies use is different from how this devices creates electricity, isn't there a different waste product? Or can our bodies still use rusty glucose? Or is oxidized glucose harmless waste?
I guess we just need to combine this technology with a form of fusion, and we're really in for it. Now drink your power aid.
Actually, no. If you'll notice in the quote, there's a string of 1's and 0's. There are 16 bits per line which are really two bytes side by side. So, the question of endianness is which byte should be first in these two bytes?
When you do finally get the right software all in once place, make sure you put it on one of these so you look like an Uber Geek when you waltz in without media.
Yup. It's a fake. Nice one too. I love it when people do stuff like this. The great thing is, some day the author will go through his referrer log and see this thread. Gotta love the Internet.

Actually, what's stopping Intel from shipping both the 32 and 64 bit chips on one board?

You think that's bizarre, I got "503 Service Unavailable." How do I use that as a lotto number??

I don't know what the heck is wrong with their pages. Even before they got slashdotted, they were messed up. This mirror is being built as we speak.

Go after the seller, not Cisco.

We *are* talking about a 16 bit number Look, let's actually test it, shall we?
01010011 == A6 (in ascii is not 'S')
01101100 == D8 (in ascii is not 'l')
0101001101101100 == 53C6 (in ascii is "Sl")
If we just read them in order 8 bits at a time, we'd come up with garbage. We have to read it in 16 bit chunks. So character Endianness is important.

If you have the HEX, one quick method for decoding it is to use JavaScript unescape() method. Just preceed each byte with a percent.

Try it in the URL:

Too bad Slashdot's comment engine screwed up the data.

Network standard byte order...on a t-shirt. What kind of datagram do you call that? Is there a t-shirt error correction standard?
01010011-011011001 001000 010-01000111
.ORG really have to be capitalized? It's like yelling. :) And does this mean that Slashdor favors a particular endian?

When you do finally get the right software all in once place, make sure you put it on one of these so you look like an Uber Geek when you waltz in without media.
All analog will be going away very soon.
What with all the tripple band phones out there, it seems like analog will be more of a backup/roaming solution.
I wonder if this scanner can be modified to unblock those bands.
...I wish to caution those who are buying one for video monitoring purposes
Do you recommend a better portable alternative product, or is this the best we can hope for, for now?
So when will the HDTV version hit the market?
How long until inflight reboots will be implemented in whatever replaces the 747?
