If you haven't seen the original version of the first ghost in the shell then you should find a copy of it and watch it. The SAC mini series is great; but the surreal feeling you are talking about from stand alone complex is minimal when compared to the full original movie:)
They are all good, but then again I am avid fan of Motoko. If you get the chance then I highly recommend getting the graphic novels, since not only is the artwork amazing, the stories are good and seeing all the little comments Masamune Shirow puts in really helps understand some stuff.
I am still not following. Could you please tell me how many Libraries of Congress blowing up that equals?
No, but I can tell you that the asteroid would be treated as terrorist. Next, we will send out a space fleet to hunt down those terror inducing asteroids and we will win this war on terror.;)
What kind of 3D video card can be connected to a Mac through USB, FireWire, or Ethernet? That's why there are so few Mac games: because there are so few Mac Pros.
Certainly. Games companies moving their focus to consoles isn't helping either. This effects MS-Windows too. Certain types of games don't need the latest and greatest video card, so they won't be affected by this limitation. If you want a hardcore games machine then consoles and MS-Windows is where its at, so it really depends what you are using your computer for.
Macs are not more expensive; they're just less flexible.
If you are talking about internal upgrade ability, then only really the MacPros are genuinely upgradeable. The MacBooks are no less expandable than you average portable and the desktops are targeted towards a market that is more comfortable connecting a cable, than opening up their computer. For all the rest USB and Firewire offer most of the expandability that people want.
The only way you can assure the firewall requirement is in place is with a closed binary, preferably cryptographically signed, running in a closed environment. AKA, Windows.
This could also be achieved on MacOS X 10.5, where signing of binaries is supported and even recommended. Additionally I am sure it could be possible for the server side of the VPN to probe the client to see if a suitable configuration is in place. The way I could imagine this happening is for the server to do a routing probe and see if it succeeds. If the server can't contact the router on the local network or connect out of the network, then is probably safe enough - granted I haven't thought of every scenario, but its a possibility.
If the router has a client firewall requirement, then it fails. I have even tried vpnc and this confirms what I learnt from the official client:
concentrator configured to require a firewall
this locks out even Cisco clients on any platform expect windows
which is an obvious security improvment. There is no workaround (yet). I have tried both on Linux and MacOS X, and the only client that seems to work consistently is the Windows client. This does not mean that I have never got the Mac or Linux clients to work, its just they don't work with every Cisco router configuration out there.
Great and I applaud them for doing something truly nerdy. What I am still waiting for is proper for a CISCO VPN client that works well under Linux and MacOS X, and not just Windows. It is irritating to enable firewall requirements, only to find that the only version that supports it is CISCO VPN Client for Windows.
The reason for these price increases are because the farmers have all switched to growing corn, one of the least efficient crops used to produce ethanol. For every gallon making it to the customer, you need to create and burn an additional five gallons to run all the manufacturing equipment. There are much more efficient crops that could be used, corn being one of the absolute worst, but the wackos have decided to put everything into that one.
This is the part of the danger of biofuels. By moving from food crops to fuel crops, you end up pushing up the price of food. The other alternative, which is just as bad is clearing forest to produce biofuels. While there are probably environmentally friendly sources for biofuels, there is no way the consumer is going to know where their biofuels are coming from. At this point in time petrol, how ever bad it is, seems to be the better fuel. Because of this I am unhappy that EU is encouraging the use of biofuels. Even more so since this is hurting beer, an important ingredient to the summer BBQs.
This is a fine idea - The internet is a treacherous place for children.
Actually given the number of adults that don't understand what they are doing and getting themselves caught it cons, I think general education would be better. Maybe someone can prepare a one page guide on internet safety. Any longer than that and it won't be read.
I am not sure what Google can do to crack down on this abuse, but they really need to. Have there been any improvement to their Captcha system since it was compromised? Are they closing down suspect accounts?
I think that while this type of people tracking has its uses, the biggest concern is that of personal privacy. For me these things should work like buddy lists, where you decide who can discover your location (not some third-party) and you decide whether you use this. You could also make it so that when someone asks where you are, the device notifies you and you press a button to accept discovery. You wouldn't even need to worry about being tracked, since you could make it that the RFID is not transmitted until you press the button, so until then the device is in receive only mode, listening for broadcasts.
Just another example of the mind boggling inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the current American administration
As much as don't appreciate this current administration, I wouldn't put all the blame on them. I blame this on government an bureaucracy. Why this turned out to be so complicated in implement, beyond the changing requirement is hard to tell, then again if the range of changing requirements we that big, then this is certainly evidence of bad planning.
In Canada our census forms are available both online and in paper form. With a portable version you would simply need a handheld that could support a suitable resolution for web input and wireless technology to upload the results. Sounds someone made things more complicated than they needed to be.

Wireshark 1.0 Released

· Score: 1, Informative
Now come on! What sort of a lede is that? Just a tease and no candy? What does Wireshark 1.0 DO for pete's sake? A quick read: "Network protocol analyzer for Windows and Unix that allows examination of data from a live network, or from a capture file on disk." Basically it is tcpdump with a GUI.
I would love to be able to purchase one of those antennas commercially. I just don't have the spare time to build one, but would love to be able to get one. I hope that since the design is GPL, someone will be selling them online soon.
In the meantime you could probably find a local hobbyist, or professional, and offer them some money to do the job.
I agree and I point the finger (I have to blame someone don't I?) at architects who don't understand what computer code is. Have you ever been presented the next amazing design for a solution and thinking, "am I a magician or a software developer?". If an architect has had some contact with code then the solutions tend to be a little more realistic.;)

You have it all wrong. They are trying to compete with the Enquirer and FoxNews.

yes, and we can all imagine a beowolf cluster of them, comparisons with automobile tonnage, and how in soviet russia, 2 tonn calculator uses YOU.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it always gives me 42.
But what is in DirectX that is not in SDL + OpenGL or Allegro + OpenGL?
The influence of a heavy weight like Microsoft. Believe me that counts for something.

Just wipe it with some isopropyl alcohol, it'll tear the gloss right off. Disclaimer: Don't do this
Or just wipe your favourite cola onto the screen. Much more accessible, but it will probably screw the viewability too.

But what was added to make it 1.0? What is new?
Ah I thought you wanted a general outline. To see what changed check out the release notes:

So Direct X is getting it. Are we likely to see something similar with OpenGL?

In conclusion by not upgrading to an HDTV, and using my bunny ears, I am getting the same quality as Comcast's digital offering. Sweet :)
I completely agree with Stroustrup.

A list of obsolete ports? Seriously? People get paid to write this stuff?
