Inspiration comes in many forms. Doing something like this although seemingly pointless, will inspire others to do greater things! Many of these will be pointless, but some will not!
The Commodore 64 has something similar. It had 64k, but not all of it was readable because of the ROM chips. You could write data there, but when you tried to read you'd only get the ROM data. You could disable the ROM's and read the data you put there before.

Not true.. we copied an i386 for a project once. Yea, it ran at about 15 Hz - and it only had about 6 instructions. But it only cost a fraction of what the i386 cost at the time! >:0)
8 bytes of memory to, if I remember correctly.
Some minor modifications of your programs may be required....
I wonder just how cold the ice is it, that depth into a very cold planet. And if there was once life on Mars (Looking more likely now), there is a *really* good chance it's been preserved down there.
BT are simply trying to squash the free-Wireless networks springing up all across the UK. High-speed, free internet without going through the local loop? As if BT would ignore it.
You'll probably see them moving to make public wireless illegal soon, or at least to difficult to do properly.
Now is the most important time to setup a wireless network in your local community! Or join an existing one!
However it's scary to think that countless Americans take Hollywood's output as Gospel, hence all the dumb comments and notions that arise from Braveheart or 'The Patriot', just another two films have no basis in reality.
I doubt if those movies would have made as much money if they kept one foot in the real world. Hollywood is all about money. No more, no less. What worries me more is just how many non-Americans see there movies, and probably believe some of it to. We need more non-Hollywood movies, not polluted by corrupt corporate ideals. And when something is not-so-accurate to real life, that it should be made *VERY* clear that it isn't.
I agree with this, and most of the development of Linux probably takes place outside of the US. But most of the 'big' computer companys are American. And without support from them, Linux will have a hard time getting the support (ie. money) it deserves. Sure it'll still be used, but if there is no commercial backing it may go the way of Amiga or BeOS.
The best thing that can happen now is already beginning, Linux is becoming popular all across the Earth. And the more this happens, the less it'll be vulnerable to silly laws in one country.
what geek is going to stop using Linux on his home boxen because of some dumb law?
We have Linux in our workplace. That's what I'd be more worried about. There's no way it would be allowed to stay, if it became illegal.
I live in the UK, and looking at the recent history of our government regarding the computer industry - I'm not holding by breath.

Why yes, of course. Try uLibc. Very nice little package. And while I know you can't run every app using it, you can run most. But the point of my post is, you can remove gLibc if you want. You have that option. You have NO such option in Windows98.
Embedded Firewall is hardware-based. Because all of the firewalling functions happen in hardware, they are completely independent of the host operating system. Even if you circumvent the host OS, you will never be able to change your own security policy.
Now I'm sure 3Com don't expect users to have to flash each and every NIC. They will include some sort of software based setup tool. If a trojan has control of the OS, then it simply needs to emulate that tool. It's then 'just another firewall' to the trojan, software based or not.
It wouldn't even have to go that far, what's stopping the trojan from sending anyway? A firewall that is OS independent cannot filter outgoing packets based on who or what sent it.
I can see the advantage of putting that in hardware (firmware?).
But I don't believe it can be useful in filtering outgoing packets; how can it tell what program or user is sending it.
Because of that I think that software based solutions are better.
And besides.. if the OS is good then nobody without proper permissions can change the firewall rules anyway!

Maybe we should have a similar system to the .robots file ... a .slashdot file that contains information set by the admin for the editors.

Nifty idea when memory was so limited!

lol thanks. Should have spotted that. I've been readling Slashdot to much lately....
The only known defense against slashdotting is to have a crappy unimportant website.
Oh wait... nevermind.

I managed to compress this movie to 29 bytes without loosing any quality.

At least I don't have to have a Passp0rt just to read it!

Why can't people use JPEG instead of JPG ... is it so hard to type that one extra letter?!

It annoys me a lot when I see 'index.htm' or 'picture.jpg'.
But then I'm easily annoyed
And if people can't use CDR's for writing CD's then they are going to notice a far greater drop in profits than those caused by file-swapping systems.
Yep .. read that further down .. I assumed it was still intalled, just not visable.
