I'd like to disagree to this, referring to RFC1459:
If there are multiple users on a server in the same
channel, the message text is sent only once to that server and then
sent to each client on the channel. This action is then repeated for
each client-server combination until the original message has fanned
out and reached each member of the channel.
Same with PRIVMSG's, they only travel through the servers on the route from the orgin to the destination. It would be truely bandwidth waste to send all messages to all servers.
Well, a good thing would be the understanding of tokens (like P = PRIVMSG, N = NOTICE) by clients, that could save a lot of bandwidth on a lot of servers. Also a standard for tunneling IRC inside SSL could be welcome, many IRC servers support this nowadays. Compression isn't feasible client->server, so that would not be a good thing to be able to. It is generally on server-server that is mostly required.
Also, inclusion of the numeric 005 spefication in a RFC could be welcome (RPL_ISUPPORT) - as it makes clients able to know what is and what is not availiable on a server, and can take precautions to what kind of numerics it may recieve.
About UINs, my belief is that I need noone to be able to fake who I am, and UIN's will increase the stalking that usually happens by people. Doesn't UIN's take away the charm of IRC a bit? - we are not MSN/ICQ/(insertcrappychathere) last time I saw. Nickname problems: Why would we want 300 Gandalfs on same network? About vchans, I mean, Don't you like how #blah is managed? Make #blah+
:P or find another playground.
Generally, IRCd coders should sit down and make up a common standard - not the IRCnet RFC's, but RFC's that basically covers how most IRCds work today.
As I read earlier on this, it requires the user to be "stupid", to run it.. hence why it spreads so slow. Really, this could be any file from a FTP site, or something - it is really the same case as Outlook Viruses =P
Honestly, "targeted" advertising based on my music taste.. I mean, them sending makeup commercials to me, just because I like Marilyn Manson?. I do not like advertising at all, but if it keeps things free, they are OK.
But, they really need to watch out what to send me as ads, based on my music taste. I don't want spice girls commercials because my little sis downloaded one of their songs on my account?.
Also, you should be able to check what kind of ads will pop up, like a status page of their info. People should be able to see what the big.coms know about them, shouldn't they?
And let me guess, your license on let's say, Whistler, or Solitaire runs out after 2 years? That's bye bye abandonware?. This may be a good thing for people who want to protect their copyright, but really, this is too much, don't you think?
How about when people only get a little training, and things Go Really Wrong (TM) out in space? What in the world can tourists do then? Is the world really ready for this?
The energy star link should be http://bios.new.com.ua:8100/energy.html.. also, on the linuxnews.pl page, the url got a extra " that screws things up.. http://lpp.freelords.org is the right url for the Linux Progress Patch;). Anyhow, this is good, but - haven't tested it, can you press escape or something to see the _real_ boot msgs?:P
Okay, as being a 16-year old brainkid, I have experinced a lot of times, people saying that - you cannot be 16! you're too damn smart!. Have you ever experinced that - to people _not_ belieivng you are so young? I mean, people think I'm like 24. Also, how did you learn to code? Books? Education? Parents/Family?. Also, can you combine "life"(whatver it is) and your "geek" life?. If not, my advice is that you should learn to have both a life, and be a geek at the same time - you'll end up alone else =P
To be honest, here in Denmark, I have not seen a single shop selling Linux games. This may be because the demand is not so high so it's not feasable to sell?. Support being a pain (as they say), because of every changing version - what do they do when Windows 2003 come out etc? that's going to be a support nightmare too. The good thing about linux is the ever changing versions, and in a way, also a bad thing, as it may take long to upgrade entire networks
Well, I would be perfectly happy with advertising in programs, if they are not "annoying" and they aren't in the way (nagware). Like, let's say I could get a 500$ program for free, with advertising - then I would gladly take it. Also, it is easy to blank over banners if needed
Wouldn't everyone in a department made a higher level, remove the people who usually do all the footwork in a department? I mean, the world wouldn't go far if everyone was boss'es and sat on their flat ass?:P
Well, isn't this a bit insecure in a way? The air isn't really secure - and what could you find out about your neighbour that uses telnet to connect to his new web hosting company?. This brings atleast that they have to use full encrypted ethernet/IPSEC doesn't it? Also, on IRC, who would like others to see your conversation?. On a sidenote, people who want a IRC server with full SSL support (client-server, server-server), check the url in my sig.
Well.. as me and possible many others, when you are sleepy for tests or in work or when you're in school.. won't this mean that you won't remember anything from it?. Hint, stay home from school when sleepy, its no use going anyways:P
"Bye bye the mainframe has died". It's alwawys sad to see a history thing as a live Multics system dying. It did inspire *nix, didn't it? So, we got a lot to thank these machines for, *waves sadfully goodbye*
An little idea to the Geeks In Space team, broadcast from this space station next time (will fully keep you up to your showname);) The question is, do the space station have internet access (insecure?).
"An computer algoritm kind that only occours randomly, and can cause the program to terminate, or malfunction. This may also bring down the computer operating system in some cases"
Anyone who makes any computer bugs from now on got to pay to me! (Microsoft, here I come!)
Honestly, a robot which on purpose makes my room more messy than it is currenty, would not be welcome. How many of you think that after a couple of days it would be a total pain in the ass?:P
Fantastic robot anyhow, but its social attempts ?:P
Well, why in the world would Microsoft add properitary formats in email when only those dumb microsoft clients can read them? It wastes much time for the rest 80% non-outlook users.
Isn't rumours a good thing infact because people will look more expected to it? Official Product Annoucements gets really boring during time, and why can't they release something without a blasting marketing campaign? Why don't they just release products, set out a rumour first, and then release suddenly without any warning? Surprise factor isn't always the best.
Isn't all those lawsuits a good thing in a way, because in the case periods and if there's a lot of press coverage - people will go to the sites and see whats so wrong with it. It isnt a wonder i believe, because Napster has been mentioned all over in the press. Publicitity is always good wether its bad or good. People do seek after illegal things honestly. Many don't care about copyright laws really:P
Just wondering - I think WAP is a great technology, but places like here in Denmark, its really expensive to use the cellphone, even for data transmissions. We know it won't be long until we see advertisments on WAP sites, which will just make you spend more time "online" at the cellphone. Shouldn't we fight for cheaper telephone rates instead of making more and more flash and candy which only will make the users spend more money. On WAP and Linux, if people need it, and WAP is an open standard (correct me here?) - If people or a coder needs it, they will eventually make it. If for instance Nokia goes and makes a WAP browser for *nix/BSD, as binary only, would ya all go and beg them to go open source? If yes, why don't you go make something alike?. (sorry if it sounds like flamebait). My 2 cents..
Wouldn't this require one hell of a heatshield when going through the atmosphere?. Also, what are the "securities" of this? Imagine if anything went wrong in the atmosphere, or the cable broke - it would most likely trash a lot of houses on its way down. Will we be seeing in the future people sabotaging and trashing those cables, of terrorism causes?. Imagine if the USA president was onboard in one of those elevators and if some terrorist decided to attack the cable with a couple of bombs? Falling from the earth's atmosphere to the ground must not be funny honestly.
(yes i have seen the link is a sort of user-interview thing but). Has there ever been a Phil Zimmerman slashdot interview? - or rather - wouldn't it be relevant to do one at the moment? Personally I'd like to see more Slashdot Interviews, because it helps to ask questions no reporter/journalist might have asked
