Perhaps IPv6 is something you should look into. How many IT people are experts in that field?
The university I go to doesnt even look at it, which is a shame because it's got to be rolled out sooner or later. I think most people are hoping for the later.
The riaa/mpaa are going about the whole P2P debacle the wrong way. Havent they learnt the lesson from what happened when they shut down napster? How many P2P services popped up in it's place? and they were even more sophisticated.
You can't cut the head off the p2p snake, you try and at least two or three take it's place.
RIAA/MPAA should be looking at other alternatives rather than going in guns'a blazin'
My father actually has a lot of 'OMNI' and 'OMEGA' science magazines, i'm not sure if you guys had them in the states but in Australia they were popular science magazines in the early 80's. It's good to read through theories that either still stand today or have been proven right or wrong.
I read through the reviews of the 'latest' technology the time had to offer, it's quite an interesting read. As well as classic computer ads such as the house that burnt down and the Apple IIe was the only things besides the cat that survived.
Did you know that sega's first consoles had tape decks? The magazines are quite old. I'll scan them one day.
This has been going on for as long as seti@home has been running.
There are a variety of excuses people have for doing such things, such as:-
* making the program calculate units faster * falsifying unit completion and results * hoping they cheat enough so they can get up the top of a table
These people dont realise the problems with doing such things, If you contaminate the results with fraudulant and false data then you might as well forget about the whole project.
What happens if there really was something found, but due to the high rate of contamination that it was thought to be too good to be true and discarded. Consequences really need to be thought out before you start wrecking the hardwork of scientists and academics who are only doing a service for everyone's benefit.
I'm just wondering what happens to the companies that invest in the child protection software?
Could the whole anti-censorware thing catch up the innocents? What is to stop a pr0n company from saying that it's a form of censorship to block the site (although you'd have to be a really sleazy person to argue it).
You've got no holding power... hell i've still got my Commodore 64 with accoustic coupler modem, and i'll hold onto it until I see something worth spending money on...
I like anyone else can see the benefit of such technology in the workplace or in the general enviroment of our lives, but has anyone thought about the downside to the technology at the same time?
Criminals will have a slightly easier time getting access to systems they might not have been able to get to with the old personal ID number system. Unless you're of vulcan descent getting a PIN from someone's brain required some beating, but with the scanning technology all they'd have to do is chop a hand or gouge an eye and they'll have access to everything you did.

I tried to get the little guys to write some jsp for me, but they wouldnt go onto the keyboard without me spreading honey on it.
It's good that there's a book on how to get them to do what you want.

I'll be happy to stick to my two tin cans and a peice of string.

It's good that Daniel Jackson is to return to Stargate, but what happens to Jonas (the one who replaced him for season 6)?
How is santa going to navigate under those conditions?
perhaps he better upgrade rudolph.
GEOS on the commodore 64 had a good interface for it's time.
yes kids, that's right! the c64 had a GUI.
What are the odds of it working?
In line with protecting the environment, I choose to use environmentally friendly products in my cpu, such as compost and renewable timber.
Of course my computer doesnt work, but at least i'm helping the environment.
Until I see a decent Language to switch to I'll stick to my punchcards.

So when can I expect to hear the annoucement of a BattleBot weighing in at 3.141592653589793238462643383279 pounds?
How does it deal with java?
What happens if someone just gets a really really big mirror?

You mean the BBC are planning to use the policebox for timetravel tips?
The timelords would not be happy about that.
Do they have wheelchairs or crutches?
You're weak my friend ;)
You've got no holding power... hell i've still got my Commodore 64 with accoustic coupler modem, and i'll hold onto it until I see something worth spending money on...
I've got a dual system, does that mean it wont install on my system or just wont make use of smp?
Perhaps science could explain why direct sunlight and fresh air kills us so quickly?

perhaps a free 'Join the army' sticker and an uncle sam hat?
what's the mileage? ;)
'It is not legal to make a copy of a DVD now. Everything people are doing legally today, they'll be able to do legally tomorrow'.
Sure, after they make sure that the legal things they dont like today, are'nt made legal tomorrow.
