not to be anal or anything, but cat5 cable starts to degrade after 100m (or 365 feet I think), you would need one HELL of a lot of repeaters for that
fiber baby! only way to go
on a serious note, I think satelite would be to only viable solution for internet on the high-sea's, of course if the IRIDIUM project had actually worked out, that would have been fine for e-mail.
consider our solar system as a disk spinning, to me it seem like we're sending probes out sideways from the center, have we sent a probe "up" or "down" from our solar system? or how about all of 360 degree's? they talk about passing voyager, does that mean they are sending it the same direction? or are we sending probes towards the center of the universe (origin of the "big bang")?
I have to agree with you in the naugahide bit.....especially on a hot day!
what I meant by DL'in of illegal material, was not that the act of downloading was bad.....just the material that might be contained within could have an adverse affect of people's behaviour in society (snuff films for example)
everyone has very good arguments, and good views on the subject, but the discussion is subject to opinions, and using such a medium as slashdot, tempers flare when opinions collide. if this were a debate, then a lot more progress could be made.
if you really wanted to know who I was, I'm sure you could find out. I never used to enter any of my info (RL name, ##'s, etc....)
its safe to say there are exceptions to every rule and everyone has a little something to hide, insurance company's are looking out for themselves. The internet will do the same, its an evolving entity and will always find a way to survive, the least we can do is help it along and embrace things that make it a little more pleasant to interact with, and if publishing people's IP's accordingly (as to what they download) then so be it.
its nice to a see a coherent thought out post, unlike some that have responded, thanks for your time to respond with an intelligent post (sometimes they are hard to come by!)
are you trying to justify the downloading of naked kids? ARE YOU?!? I could care less who or what you have sex with, but I do care if you go around DL'ing illegal material that has a negative affect on our society.
your whole view on the subject is narrow, and you seem to be too engrossed with yourself to have a truly valid argument. nobody cares what you do at home in your own privacy, but people do care what you do in public (and yes, the internet IS public property), so no, we dont want to see you getting a lewinsky in the street (maybe some people do.....)
supose you're gooing ot flam m3 for bad grammer and speeling.....
I have to agree with you on that one, that's why it should stay open so everyone can see, people would think twice about DL'ing the latest set of 14 year old photo shoots. On top of this, I'm sure the FBI are already monitoring Gnutella content for kiddie porn and where its coming and going.
I find this really amusing, sic kiddie pr0n freaks get what they deserve! shame on them! seriously though, I think its good, it goes back to the argument that if your not doing anything to be ashamed of you have nothing to hide.
Once you have appliances that can be controlled by a computer (ie: microwave, smart fridges that communicate with the grovery store, ovens with preset temp and times for favorit foods, etc....)you could setup macro's that could in turn make everyday tasks a push of a button. In this persons case you could setup a keyboard of sorts with larger buttons (since he has limited motor control, lager buttons would be easier for him to push), certain buttons would be macro'ed to do various household functions (ie: set the time on his microwave).
I think this coupled with autonomous units (independant roving vacume cleaners?) a person with limited motor control could lead a very comfortable independant life style.
ya! lets all ping the satellite! just something so cool about sending packets into outerspace and getting a response
problem is I highly doubt that the satellite itself has an internet connection, probably setup as an internal lan for test purposes, and if they did setup the satellite for internet they are fools.....
I know that the review mentioned the price was 899$, bu what about the beefier models? I searched the saintsong webpage with no luck, anyone know the price for the PIII-700?
At my old high school we managed to get a 20foot for-sale (remax!) sign and drape it over the front, we got newspaper coverage in the classifieds "large house for sale, 103 bedrooms, lake front access, 10 bathhrooms and a full sized gym" (or something like that....).
Fun prank, no damage (except for the sign we had to steal), we had the sign up on sat night, was there all day Sunday and Monday, the students loved it.
Partition magic ships with a boot manager, nice little app you can use to boot to MANY different OS's, anyone know if partition magic has been ported to Linux? I know it can setup a hard disk for Linux in Windows, used it befor, works REAL nice.
£39.99 is pricey, considered that for cable access is about ~$30CDN/month, and thats with a monopoly on cable access as well!
Anyone have any ideas why DSL is spreading faster then cable? personally I find cable faster and more reliable then DSL (then again I live in the boonies with no one to steal my precious bandwidth!), just seems to me that cable would be easier to implement then DSL.
my dad took a basic "howto" class and learnt how to navigate windows, he was in my pr0n in no time at all, even when they were hidden! (and who said you cant teach old dogs new tricks!). I think the Windows line of OS's is fairly intuitive, you have a "START" button with all your options, select one and you either get more options or the program you want to use, simple to me. whether or not the program is easy to use is a another issue, I find MSoffice convoluted and not intuitive at all.

imagine a MP3 car stereo with a 80GB HD in the trunk.....how many weeks of music is that?
Atticka
sorry, had to!
no need for a noisy terminal, monitor, etc.....just your nice clean stereo component grabbing MP3's from your network
