Not really. A search technology like this would practically eliminate the need for crawling robots since all the crawling happens intrinsically as part of the protocol.
The impression I get from the article is that this could be used as a generic search technology.. one network that searches any type of resource i.e. web pages, file sharing, phone directories etc. It would just be a matter of writing a gPulp node server for whatever type of resource you wanted to add to the network.
We will also need a standard result format so that the search client can figure out what to do with them automagically. We could use URLs, but types would have to be added for every kind of resource out there.
My god, what does this company do?? It looks like they just put all their money into the environment and all they've produced is a little firewall application. Are they VC whores?
I used to DREAM of conecting at 26400. When I was a boy I we could only connect at 1 bit/hour.. we had to scribble the bit on a napkin and trek through the freezing rain uphill to our ISP and then uphill back home. Our ping was horrible.

Quite true. In that case, I guess the communities I'm talking about here are the Mozilla and Nautilus developers. And while I do like some MS ideas, frankly the IE/shell integration is gimmicky and useless and I think most experienced computer users and the DoJ agree with me.
I find it ironic that Mozilla is working on duplicating a feature that was only used originally by MS to shove them out of the market.

"The Gnome desktop will integrate embedded Mozilla into the (Eazel) Nautilus file manager"
Can somebody tell me why the Linux community openly criticizes Microsoft's silly ideas and then tries so hard to emulate them? It seems like Linux's inferiority complex is getting in the way of any real innovation on their part.
I've never understood why these types of devices need to be surgically implanted. Can't they simply be worn in some inobtrusive place like around your ankle?
Wisdom Tree makes bible games for Gameboy and does not have a license from Nintendo. According to the amateur GB dev faq, the big N sued them and lost.
You have to put a bitmap of the Nintendo logo in a ROM header for it to work on the hardware (this image is displayed when you boot up the system). Apparently this doesn't hold up in court as any kind of IP.
IPv6 is supposed to have multicasting capabilities.. one address sending data out to many different addresses simultaneously. What can this be used for? Besides the obvious (streaming media), could you use it to continuously broadcast a static web page, say once every second? So instead of sending a seperate copy of that page for every hit, a web browser just grabs the next broadcasted copy of the page.
IIRC they got liscensing fees from a few big portals like Yahoo for their GIF patent. I'm guessing BT/Scipher will try the same thing: going after a few big companies like AOL or MSN that could give them a worthwhile settlement.
Mind you I fail to see how ISPs are infringing on this patent more than browser/server developers since they are the ones actually using the technology. If a piece of software infringes on a patent, you go after the software company, not the users.
If you read this source code and scroll down to the description for Iocaine Powder, you'll see that it addresses the endless second guessing problem you're describing here.
First of all, there are really only 3 levels of second guessing because there are only 3 choices. Iocaine analyzes the history list and determines which level of second guessing was the most successful.
Is it possible to use JavaScript to collect timing information when someone is typing into a text field? You could then embed that information in a hidden field and send it back to the server. This could be used to identify users who mistakenly believe they are typing anonymous information into a form.
Even if it only works 2/3 of the time, it would still be useful to banner ad companies.
Russian president Valdimir Putin announced today a joint venture of the Russian space program and internet startup Napster to deploy the world's first MP3 file sharing service controlled from space. The decaying Russian space station, Mir, previously scheduled to be destroyed, will become the "Principality of Mirster" and will be modified to host the new service which will allow people to share MP3 files over the internet.
"They needed a legal safe haven for their business and we needed to do something with our space junk. It's the perfect arrangement," said Putin. "Also, I'm a big Metallica fan but I was banned from Napster and I can't get a free copy of "Kill 'em All" anywhere. Up in space, we'll be a sovereign nation and those capitalist pigs won't be able to touch me."
...that a third world country accomplishes this before the US or Canada?
Internet access is so cheap now, it would cost pennies/person for the government to do something like this and it would probably pay for itself in economic benefit many times over, not to mention increase the average intelligence level of our society.
Ironically, Napster probably wouldn't have caused such a big controversy if it had just been a general purpose file sharing system instead of filtering files that don't have an.MP3 extension.
The Hotline network is growing like mad and is 99% MP3s, movies, games and p0rn but nobody seems to care.
Is it really such a novelty to have a home built for internet access? I can't imagine why any developer woudln't build homes this way.
This also seems more true to the architecture of the internet, the "network of networks". Instead of trying to establish a high speed connection to the centralized, monolithic phone company, just plug in to your neighborhood LAN.
Only problem is you lose the freedom to choose your ISP. If you live on a street with lots of over protective parents who demand content filtering or if the people running the connection are just incompetent, tough luck.
IDEs can be very useful for complicated projects. Source level debugging is great as well as source file management, etc.
The only reason I don't use them is because I am forced to use a different built-in editor for each IDE. So instead I use UltraEdit for everything and sacrifice advanced IDE features to use an editor I am very familiar with.
What we really need is a modular editor with plugin support so that IDE like tools for specific languages can be developed as editor plugins. Then you can have the best of both worlds.
Can any exisitng editors do this? Emacs? Visual Studio? I don't use either so I'm not sure.
There are many prototype 3D, or "autostereographic" LCD screens in existance that are more advanced than this and less expensive.
Most use a "lenticular sheet" on top of a standard LCD screen which is essentially an array if tiny lenses that transmit light from different pixels depending on viewing angle. Since your eyes are looking at the screen from two slightly different angles, they see different images.
For a more detailed explaination, look at this document from the Philips web site.
Receiving a reward for turning in a criminal is not bounty hunting. Unlike these guys, you are not taking the law into your own hands if you use the legal system to pursue a spammer. All they are proposing is that you receive a reward for doing so.
This is completely different from the WAVE program where kids report their peers just for being weird, and not for commiting any crime.
Amen. I'm tired of hearing about how e-business is the next big step in the web (but I doubt anybody here buys that sort of media hype anyway).
The web is where it is today because it allows people to publish to the world for peanuts, period. The next big step in the web is making it easy for novice home users to publish content without using costly third party hosting. These are the things required for this to happen:
Broadband, dedicated access available to every home at consumer prices. This is already happening.. for example, here in Canada we have a choice of cable or DSL in most major cities.
Hassle free static IPs and domain names. Domains seem to be getting cheap now with the NSI monopoly busting and OpenSRS but the IP shortage makes it almost impossible for a typical consumer to get a static IP. Maybe when hell freezes over and everybody switches to IPv6, this will change.
Web server/authoring software targeted at novice users. MS Frontpage and Personal Web Server don't count:). My suggestion would be something that looks like a web browser but lets you edit everything you see. Something like this probably exists already, I'm not sure.
I know this will probably lead to the web being further polluted with poorly designed pages and midi music, but it's worth it since this would probably double online content overnight.. and we all know content is what matters, right?
..these people can go to the moon for as much money as they spent on their web site, they're in business.
But seriously folks, the government has gone into space, now the commercial sector.. when is the open source community going to launch a space mission?
So I keep reading all these headlines about quantum leap hardware technologies - 1THz CPU, 400Gbit/sq inch persistent memory, 100 GB/s fiber optics. I know it's naive to ask why I can't go out and buy these things now.. it takes years or decades to get from the lab to the shelf.
But does anyone find it strange that Moore's law is so consistently true? Why does computer hardware advance at such a steady rate? What exactly is Intel doing in their lab that allows them to make a 1GHz chip now but not a month ago? And what will allow them to make it at half the price 18 months from now? When was the last time somebody took advantage of a discovery like this?
Could it be a conspiracy to keep the power of hardware and the requirements of software in sync? If Intel did come out with a 1THz chip right now, everybody would run out and buy one and then nobody would need another chip for years. I smell a conspiracy.
