it would be a psuedo-random password, much like the securid cards.. synchronize the clocks, and generate random things based on the time. Use this as a way to figure out what ports to knock. this prevents the people from accessing potentially vulnerable services, which is what we're trying to prevent anyway. If you need to use a password, even a one time one, but have to connect to a service first, then that service is open to attack -- ignore the password, the service itself can be broken. This adds another layer of security.
sounds like a personal issue. I use PNGs on my website wherever I would normally use a GIF. Works in IE4+ and mozilla, as long as I don't want alpha transparency. Which I do, so I'm prolly going to write in the DXFilter thing to automatically add it to each img tag that uses a png, so that it shows the alpha ones.. *shrug* Maybe some javascript to do it if possible. I've been too lazy to really look in to it, since I don't use IE. If my site validates and even vaguely resembles what it does in Mozilla, then I declare it a success. It's just a personal site, so it doesn't really matter that much.
There's plenty of issues with it. JPEG a screen full of text, and tell me it looks good. JPEG has the same issues as MPEG does: mostly solid color areas are blocky (if there's a slow gradient it'll be most noticeable), and edges are crap. It's made for pictures and photos, where such issues aren't as noticeable. JPEG2000 prolly won't do good on text screens either (again, it's not what it's designed for), but the file size is much smaller. JPEGS are already small, but I once saw a picture of a starburst effect behind a wineglass. The JPEG2000 version was like a tenth the size of the JPEG version, if I recall correctly.
There's also issues with the JPEG chroma subsampling, but that's usually encoder dependent.
I hate to reply to myself, but I just looked at the POP3 RFC again. I don't see a way to get just the beginning X amount of an email, yet I'm sure there's programs that do it somehow. You'd think I'd have remembered this, since I had to write a pop3 client for a class just this semester. Bleh.
Are we trying to help the users downloading the large files? Honestly, I don't get many, but aren't there some email programs that only get the headers, and then you can decide if you want the rest of the email? Maybe adding an option to the thing to only get the body (though, from what I understand this isn't really possible. You could keep getting ever larger chunks of the email until you reached the attachment boundary, but I think that's it?), or to only get the first 5k of an email that's more than say 15k (how often are they longer than that when they don't have an attachment?) Why exactly should it be the ISP's job to deal with this?
god, squarepusher is crap.. Maybe just the thing I went to in Osaka with someone whose name I forget (Andrew Weatherall maybe?), Tim Deluxe, Squarepusher and Kraftwerk.. but Tim Deluxe got everyone in to the room, Squarepusher forced them back out, and then they came back in for Kraftwerk. I really didn't like his style, but when he started swearing out the audience for not getting involved/making noise/whatever, I'll never give him another shot again. Swearing at your audience is never a good thing.
Uhm, he's guaranteed out in 5 years. Read the constitution;) Unless you meant unless we don't vote him out, (comma) within the next 5 years there will be no middle class in America. Which might be true, it might not. I'm not an economist. I'm just a poor college student.
I've probably been trolled, but any proof of this? How the hell can a music format, which contains no executable code, contain a trojan? Unless it's exploiting a major bug in the player, the only trojan I can possibly see it having is having the wrong content (someone farting in to a microphone or something? I have no idea.) Or maybe stupid browsers decide to only show you.ogg instead of.ogg.vbs or something stupid like that, but that's not a problem of the format, right?
But yea, I'll give the trolling AC benefit of the doubt: prove me wrong.

No WMA for HP iPod

Except most people I know play their music with winamp, which comes with ogg (vorbis) support. And honestly, I don't care what other people use, I'm obviously encoding the files for myself. If I were encoding them for someone else, well, I think that'd be piracy, now wouldn't it? Vorbis, being supported in winamp, is a billion times more common than flac can ever hope to become. MP3 may be the existing standard, but it seems it's currently the worst sounding at comparable bitrates (and why not, it's much older). Ogg works in linux, works in winamp, and I'm sure there's players for mac os x. Well crap, there's all three OS's I'm likely to run, so there: it's a perfect format for ME.
read my parent post (your grandparent), he was talking about how just adding another 8 bits to ipv4 would be easier. that's what I was replying to. But yes, Windows XP does have IPv6 support (You might need to go to windows update to get it tho, I swear I saw an ipv6 upgrade there.. but maybe that's only if you don't have SP1 yet)
but you'd still have to change every single machine, router, etc. to handle it, it would reduce the chance of bugs, but it would also involve the same amount of work to upgrade everything. Might as well get it done with and make other sweeping improvements (mandatory IPsec, etc.) while we're at it. Yeah, there's more chance of bugs, but we'll hopefully only have to make such a large change once.
for the other mini/party games you need the button to open the ball and stuff, but that's about it.. monkey target I think was the name of the one I'm thinking of specifically.
I don't understand how the iPod is related to the clock being stupid, but come on.. If you were trying to cut costs you'd be doing it with an elCheapo brand player, not one of the most expensive ones on the market.

Situations where you would use this I think would be where Company A wants a specific product, let's call it WhizBangAccountingProgram. They have a specific list of features they want. They don't feel like hiring programmers themselves, to they contract it out to a company to make it for them (and only them). Thus if this company goes under, they get at least part of what they were paying for. At least, that's where it makes sense to me.
I don't think it would get used at a point when said company is developing something as a product for itself and for retail sale. Only contracted programming. Thus yes, it is this 'single customer' that would be maintaining and extending it, since it was originally meant for just them anyway. (Occasionally the developer gets a license such that they can resell it to other people as well, but that's uncommon from what I hear).
Disclaimer: I really know nothing of any of this, except the little bit the airbag professor I had this semester spouted off. So what I just said was mostly what made sense to me..
Sorry, the correct acronym seems to involve replacing the S in 'Specialist' with an E. I don't exactly know why, but you wrote it wrong. or the parent did, but that's not possible, is it? he made it up!:)
Sure you could. There are prison junkies who go out and commit crimes their first night out to get a free ride on the system. Three meals a day and room and board. It's all they know, they don't have to worry about a job or anything, and they essentialyl get a free gym membership too (at some prisons). As long as they don't mind/can avoid the 'Bubba' situation, seems like a decent deal to me.
wow. Mine's been making this annoying clunking noise like there's something stuck up there. (same wheel) I guess they did a better job with your bugging than mine. I think mine might have come loose.
no, he was calling the people who get 9.5 hours and bitch and moan about it bitches. And trust me, there are such people out there. I've met them, and tried hard to not punch them in the face. I've only failed at this once (keeping myself from punching them in the face), but he was doing other stuff to piss me off too.
By the way, the face punching never really happened. But he did deserve it. grr.
Interesting to note is my host family had a pretty low end electronic dictionary when I was in Japan. My host mother and father knew next to nothing about computers and barely were able to work this thing.. they used hiragana input similar to cellphones: find the 'ra' and hit it again for 'ri'.
I was so much quicker at the romaji that I always switched modes on them. My host sister when she used it also used the romaji input (it was a qwerty-style keyboard too).. *shrug*

if it's a digital rip and a digital encode, why would it add artifacts becaue the encode went slower?
aha. I thought there was a way. I didn't look at the optional commands when I skimmed the RFC. Thanks :)
