A couple of years ago there were an article about using a Sega Dreamcast as hacking station. You hide the Dreamcast, plug it into the network, boot it with a special CD, and let it go. The Dreamcast would probe the network until it found a way out. Once it did it would hit a website, determined by you, with network's setup information; you could execute commands on your Dreamcast node and effect the network.
The same could be done here. Upload your ROM in to you host GBA; do this so that when the battery dies, so does the evidence. Create a serial connection to a cheap network adaptor or get one of the GBA Bluetooth adapters floating around. Now you have a low cost battery operated hacking machine. For under $200 you could compromise a network and be virtually untraceable.
Remember last year, the movie 'The Recruit'? One of its big premises was that a CIA agent was smuggling out data; but they couldn't figure out who was stealing the information, and how. The smuggling device turned out to a common USB flash drive hidden under a coffee thermos's seal. The USB drive didn't come up in the CIA scans because the drive wasn't active; the inactive drive wasn't giving off any EM for them to detect.
I think USB, IR, and now 802.11 devices and Bluetooth enabled cell phones could be a real concern for data centric firms.
As a side thought, companies may begin to ban cell phones as well. Late last year SlashDot had an article about a cell phone detection device made in Israel. People were leaving modified cell phone in planters. The modified phones would transmit the conversation of anyone in the room for about a week. Thus making a cheap spy toy.
Tons of yucks have been thrown at the decade old April Fools joke, but has anyone seen any performance data on the real IPv9? Is it better the IPv6? Does it have faster and more secure transmission abilities then what is already being used? Can you get a patch for *nix or a driver for Win2000/XP to try out?
Filmmaker Michael Moore says he is scrambling to find a distributor for his new documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," after the Walt Disney Co. ordered its Miramax Films subsidiary not to place the movie in theaters this summer.

But that didn't stop Moore from decrying Disney's decision, suggesting it was an attempt to avoid angering Republican leaders and jeopardizing tax breaks Disney gets on its theme parks in Florida. Disney labeled Moore's statements a publicity stunt and agreed to sell the film back to the Weinsteins. The brothers formed a separate company and reached a deal to distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11" with Lions Gate and IFC Films. The film opens June 25.
It was disclosed in May that Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner had barred Disney's Miramax Pictures subsidiary from distributing the picture. Miramax co-chairmen Harvey and Bob Weinstein then paid Moore $6 million and scrambled for new distributors. Moore's agent said Disney feared losing tax breaks for its tourist attractions in Florida, where Bush's brother, Jeb Bush, is governor. Disney denied it, saying the film was too partisan.

Moore and the Weinsteins countercharged that due to favorable tax credits Disney received in Florida (a state prominently featured in 9/11 and, lest we forget, home to W's brother/governor, Jeb), Eisner was balking on the deal.

Um yeah but didn't Intel's chip run at less then 1 mhz and was power hog? This clone runs around 1 ghz and uses the same or less power then Intel's chip.
How about a new set off 'On Demand' products?

Here's a couple of ideas:
- GPS terrain mapping: stream a live map in real time with low bandwidth
- Shrek Chat Live!: Have hires avatars render while you speak. Kinda like that Microsoft chat but with good chat buddies.
- Quantum Encryption: Have a whole 3d movie but just use three texture map hidden in the movie are your keys.
I not the best with electronics(more of a programmer) but I took one of those Kung Fu Fighting singing hamsters and ripped out the electronics. Hooked up the motors to 20' of phone wire and a couple of switches. Plus I hooked up a junk speaker I had lying around.
The kids at a carnival loved having a hamster that could talk back to them.
I wonder how many of us IT guys have convinced marketing that having one of these Alienware systems out on the trade show floor would attract more potential clients? Or that one of these systems would look really nice during a building tour?
Wouldn't your CD burning software have to support this 'limit copy feature' already? Doesn't most burning software first make an ISO or a BIN of the CD(with encryption) and then burn the EXACT copy of the original CD? So if I'm making an EXACT copy of a product, never changing a bit in the process, how is it going to know I'm making copies?
Um guys.... the movie was written by Art Bell. The guy who had a late night radio show for decades where he talked about aliens, astro projection, and psychic pets. For that reason alone I can't take this movie too seriously.
Here's thought: Run CB cable to each house. Use a BNC Y adapters to split the cable at each house. Wrap the y adapters in waterproof tape. Plug in a 802.11g router into the CB cable. Since this is a closed system with proper shielding the 802.11 shouldn't have much of a distance limitation.
You could use old BNC network adapters but I figure you could better performance out of 802.11g devices. Also the cable should be pretty cheap. Especially if you get it in bulk.

...the agreement had a special provision that lets Microsoft sue anybody, including Sun, over OpenOffice.org
This would, in part, explain where 2.0 is.

When did GBA get a punch card peripheral?
They took the PC system Monorail and painted the case white and called it a Mac. And Mac-ies say PC's steal from them.
Just use GAIM and you can use all the major protocals, including AIM, MSM, and Jabber.
I posted the same story around 10:00 am on technocrat.net. Wonder why it took so long to filter through here?
Space is a good place for these trial laywers. Stick 'em out there and pull the plug on the air hose.

Analog. Plug a VCR into the analog out and a $30 'video stabelizer' and you got a copy.

These bullets were used in the anime Ghost in the Shell movie(1998?). The non-techie member of the team shoot off two of these at an escaping vehicle.

Check out Walmart.com. They have OS'less PC's. The use to have Linux and BSD PC's as well.
I think SCO was threating legal action and they smacked them down like the dogs they are. Just my opinion.
