Anyway, as you can see, it's pretty effective. Sometimes admins wise up, and all you have is the Google cache. But sometimes they don't, and you get to look. Thanks Google!
a robot that could attend conferences in your behalf
Great way to save on air travel. Shipping has to be cheaper. But why stop at conferences? Some other ideas:
Have a robot attend your acquaintance's wedding.
Save on sick days, have the robot show up to work.
Stash one at the co-location facility, have Tweekie take care of those pesky reboots and upgrades.
Send one to your local polling place when it's time to vote. Let them sort it out.
Have it wait in line for the next Star Wars Episode. Then have it see the movie. Do you really think the plot will be more interesting if you go yourself?
To be completely technical, there's no such thing as "centripetal" or "centrifugal" forces. It's more accurate to call them pseudo forces.
Think of "centrifugal" as an antonym to "centripetal":
centrifugal(sn-trfy-gl, -trf-) adj.
Moving or directed away from a center or axis.
Operated by means of centrifugal force.
Physiology. Transmitting nerve impulses away from the central nervous system; efferent.
Botany. Developing or progressing outward from a center or axis, as in a flower cluster in which the oldest flowers are in the center and the youngest flowers are near the edge.
Tending or directed away from centralization, as of authority: "The division of Europe into two warring blocs, each ultimately dependent on a superpower patron, is subject to ever-increasing centrifugal stress" (Scott Sullivan).
Even if a NAT is set up in an office, it's doesn't have to be used for VoIP. At our office, the phone switch is assigned direct IP addresses. But even if there are 75 people behind the NAT, no one would assign 75 IP addresses to the phone switch. Really smart switches would route local calls to the phone company's copper, and long distance to IP. If all IPs are in use, the phone company's copper is used for long distance. The net result is that less IPs are used than the number of workstations, even with VoIP in heavy use.
I know this article is about combining Java and PHP, but has anyone noticed that JSP has overtaken PHP at least from the standpoint of session cookie default names. It didn't used to be like that. PHP always points out the mod_php numbers, but there is no direct JSP Apache module, only mod_jk which is for any servlet container. I think that's interesting.
Security Space has an interesting breakdown of Websites by Area Code. It'd kind-of related to this, and is interesting on it's own. From the site:
The Website Distribution by Telephone Area Code Report details how sites are distributed based on the telephone numbers our crawlers find published on these sites. It is limited to sites with phone numbers matching the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), consisting of the format AAA-XXX-NNNN e.g, 1-800-799-4831 and (905) 331-2260.
On an unrelated note (but related to Security Space's web reports), has anyone noticed that JSP has overtaken PHP at least from the standpoint of session cookie default names. There is no direct JSP Apache module, only mod_jk which is for any servlet container. I think that's interesting.
I wish I had a dime for every IP assigned to (and released from) my devices. God Bless America! />
Wait a second, 1 billion is a lot of IPs. My web enabled phone has never been assigned an internet accessible IP address, it's on some kind of weird proxy service. My computers at work are on a NAT. So that leaves my computer at home, and it's had that "dynamic" IP assignment for months and months. No wonder we're shrugging it off. Get over it.
They basically already tried, and failed. Here's one instance where a federal court judge ruled that P2P software authors...are not liable for copyright infringements due to files that are traded with their software.
Yes, well keep in mind that the *average* user can barely point and click. That *is* what the article was talking about. I don't mind being called a troll at all, but try reading the article.
I just think it's ironic that OS X and Linux have been brought together *by* Windows. It's like that movie where the foreigners went to a country where they didn't speak the native language, but they found natives who spoke french, and they were able to communicate.
So, does it work well with OS X better than Windows on the network? I should hope so. It's kinda funny. If there's zero Windows boxen on the network, the OS X and Linux users would probably still have to use Samba. Bummer.
Bugs are not screwups? Yes, well put, which is why I was impressed, that's right, impressed when Windows 98 GPFed while Bill gates demoed it on national television. If there are X number of known released bugs, it's likely to be Y less expensive.
Feel free to rip me a new one on that view, but I firmly believe it.
So, before you flame IBM try to see how this isn't a greed manuever but something that can benefit more people outside of the software development industry.
So, what's that called? Trickle Sideways economics?
The things we think of as futuristic always changes by the time that date gets here. "Where's my flying car?" I asked my grandmother what she thought was "futuristic" when she was a kid. She told me that everything would be attached to those scissors things that extend. She and I didn't know what they were called. Back then, some phones would be attached to the wall with this invention, and it was super high tech for the day. Her idea of futuristic was to have everything in the kitchen on this rig. Coffee maker, spice rack, everything.
Now, had they actually made a kitchen with this device, she would have seen how ridiculous it was.
Just because Bill Gates thought the idea of IP addresses assigned to everyone and everything doesn't mean it was a good idea.
Could someone explain how GPL could ever infringe on a copyright? Just for curiosity's sake, is it possible? What circumstances would be necessary for this to happen?
It seems people are saying that GPL is impervious to copyright infringement. If so, I don't see how a judge would buy it. Literally.

Cool, stuff I generally don't listen to. Now I can go back to downloading folk and barbershop. Umkay?
2: The data should be stored in an accountable way. For example, if the data is altered, there should be a way to determine this.
3: The system should allow manual verification of results.
Sounds like a job for a Quantum Computer .
Not that most people care, since they don't even bother to vote, right?
I don't know off hand, so let's put it to a vote!
and maybe with China having some homegrown options, they can develop systems that better meet the needs of their population.
You mean like some kind of internal support for Chinese character generation? Like the article says? Gee, how profound.

IBM Moving Jobs Overseas
I didn't know IBM had that kind of clout with Apple. Poor Steve, did he have any say in this at all? What about his family, are they moving too?
