  1. mmmm on Major Flaw Found In Cisco IOS Devices · · Score: 1

    if this is what i think it is, it only takes about 10 frames (8+ is the word) to stop a switch (and i guess now the routers) in their tracks requiring a manual reboot.

  2. Conference Call was completely a publicity stunt! on Latest SCO News · · Score: 1

    So I just listened to this conference call and I'm left with nothing but questions.

    1) Is SCO implying that IBM added copyrighted source to Linux? I'm thinking this is no...
    2) Are they implying that Linus Torvalds added copyrighted source to linux? Unknown.

    As far as my subject of a publicity stunt, I added myself into the queue to ask a question that would hopefully shed light on this item and a couple others but was not allowed to ask the question.

    They went on without me and finally said they were out of time for the call.

    If you noticed, those asking questions were financial houses and online e-rags. /boggle at SCO.

  3. An interesting project..... on Biofeedback Gaming · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ignoring the fact that this is being proposed as a game, its environment appears to be one that allows the mind to manipulate an environment.

    The environment itself is rendered (hopefully in real time!) with apparent triggers throughout the game. For example wondering up to a waterfall where your heartrate increases by a small factor could trigger a dolphin jumping in the water....

    This type of biofeedback is definately useful! If any folk have ever attempted meditation and reaching towards understanding of self, the lack of instant-feedback makes this process extremely difficult for the uninitiated.

    Overall I see this project as a very good idea that is hopefully implemented well. Ultimately, however, I don't see this catching on as society isn't designed around relaxation and exploring ones own self.

    And a shame....

    -Just some crazy duck.
