Anyone know where here can I read Metallica's musings on ebooks, the Sklyarov/Adobe case, etc? Or perhaps Bill Gates' thoughts (if there are any left) regarding copyrighted building codes?
It's a higher-octane version of the magic smoke found in computer components. When something bad happens and the magic smoke leaks out, you're screwed. There must be a lot in a transformer--probably enough to fill at least 57,000 Pentium 4's. I'd hate to get the bill for that much replacement magic smoke! Maybe they can get a bunch of old 386's and siphon out and recycle their smoke... hey I deserve a patent on that idea!
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this since 1993 or so!
I'm going to have to drag my//gs out of the closet--it's ZIPchipped to a blazing 16Mhz, with 16 phat megabytes of 256x4 DRAMs!
GNO/ME was a replacement for the UNIX system that I always wanted back then but couldn't afford (or something like that.) My GS will now take a proud (but kind of slow) place next to my 14 linux machines.
yeah, go ahead and click on Hatch's pr0n link... I'm sure he'll have the last laugh when he gets a phat check at the end of the month for generating all these click-thoughs...

No, you just need three and a half regular cars and some extra jumper cables.
Indeed, I use PPPoE to authenticate the folks around my hood that I let use my connection. WEP slows things down too much and isn't much in the way on encryption anyway, and with SSH tunnels I was getting about 10k/sec through the wireless--my gateway router is a P100, perfect for routing but a little slow with the number crunching.
You'll need to be careful with machines conencting from behind a PPPoE link and force an MTU lower than 1500--I use 1412 and that seems to work. If you can ping and do other things with small packets, but web pages don't load, or load a little bit and then stall, that's a sign of an MTU problem.
PPPoE also makes shared-equipment DSL service a possibility, for better or worse (probably worse, coming from someone who works for an ISP that owns their own DSLAMs)...
We have a P133 at work routing and doing NAT, er, excuse, me, masquerading, for a wireless (old-school breezecom 802.11 FHSS) link to another building in town. It's running 2.0.38 and has been chugging away for years now without needing any attention.
Agreed. I can do the same trick, stopping after one. I used to have to really fight to stop them but after some practice I find that the hiccup stops itsself... it's like a reflex now.
I've stopped other people by looking them in the eye and saying "YOU DO NOT HAVE THE HICCUPS" in the most commanding voice I can muster.
There's another post in this thread that suggests that their may be 'interfaces' to biological functions that aren't apparent to their owners. I have an example of this: ear wiggling. I don't know how to wiggle my ears on command, but now and then a high-pitched sound will startle me and I'll feel my ears pull back on their own. This would probably be a more useful function if humans had more directional ears, but it's a nice try anyway. It's obvious to me that this is the muscle needed to initiate novelty ear wiggling... I just haven't found a way to make it happen at will.

I was. I put on my tinfoil hat and haven't been out of the bomb shelter since.
Why take a chance, ya know?
yes... but SCO should know, then, about good ol' multics.

It's far too late to change the way things work now.

I will print this picture out and add it to my "places to avoid if you don't want to run into Barbra Streisand" file.
I disagree; maybe these reports are coming from MIT or Xerox or Apple... it must take a long time to scan an entire class A network.
