Any true coder knows that Java is best done in Notepad with a Command Prompt window to compile. Or, if you are feeling silly, a syntax-highlighting editor like UltraEdit or MED.
Rather than waiting to pay for slashdot, why not just make sure you always click the banner at the top of the page? And encourage your friends to do so. It's a much faster way to generate income for the slashfolks.
Actually, if they discuss it before hand, all they have to do is go to ebay and sell an item with a certain phrase in the description, that means something to each of them. The only way to break _that_ code is to know what they discussed ahead of time.
Alternatively, since most people can't spell on ebay, they could hide a message in the misspellings.
Does anyone know of any kind of graph or statistical data on the number of concurrent Napster users for, say, the past year or two? I think that would be something to see. The gentle downward slope... Especially if you could correlate the data with the dates of court decisions and the like...
This is slashdot FUD. Nothing more then sensationalistic journalism. Flamebait.
How many times have stories like this popped up before, and everyone wrings their hands and predicts the end of the world, and nothing comes of it? Why become like the mindless drones people think geeks are?
""In one benchmark I have read about, a 200-byte message was reduced to 20 bytes with normal compression methods, but ASN.1 encoded it into just 2 bytes and a few bits," said Scott. "
Has anybody heard of a flashable ROM cartridge being available for the Game Boy Advance yet? I have one for my original GB, and it is great. I can write my own ROM's and play them on the handheld. It remember I had to buy it from Japan, and it was expensive. Anyone else done this?
Aside from the AO-HEll dialup service, AOL-Time Warner offers cable modem service to many areas of the USA. Is all my surfing from behind the cable modem considered touching AOL property?
"I should switch to Yahoo instead (POP3 access),..."
Don't. In order to get POP3 access, you have to opt-in to their "Bulk-Mail" (read: SPAM) program. I would't mind if it was one or even two emails a day, but I was getting 5-10 junk mailings a day. And they all come from different addresses, so they couldn't be filtered reliably...
"It seems to me that it would be safer overall to allow these feeder reactors, but just use the same security at them that it is used for actual nuclear weapons sites."
You mean where they lose laptops and hardrives all the time?
The game companies shouldn't be sued because they published the game. The people who should get sued are those evil-minded people running the shrink-wrap machines. If it wasn't for the shrink-wrap, these kids wouldn't have gotten the game in as good a condition. Maybe the manual would be missing. Then they wouldn't have the install instructions! (You know how important those are..) Come on. Haven't we learned anything from Napster? Sue the shrink-wrap operators...
Doesn't this sound a little like Microsoft is doing community service because of the antitrust lawsuit? "Hmm. Maybe if we make MP3's the new bad guy, we won't seem so evil..."
I didn't even know that WMP recorded MP3's. Actually, I would expect that anything recorded with WMP would be poor quality...

Alternatively, you can check out XMLTree.com
How is this different from pateneting XML + XSLT?

I recall quite fondly my TRS-80 days (although it was a Model I); Loading and saving programs via cassette tape, those little stars winking.
