4.7 GHz... This is amazingly fast, but how long can this continue? My first PC was 25Mhz or something, this was only about 7 or 8 years ago. How long can we keep pushing up the speed?
Will we really be seeing 100Gz in the next 8 years or will there become a point at which we just can't go any faster...
Do you mean "the speakers"? or "the processor connected to the speakers that happens to possibly live in the same cabinet as the speakers" ?:)
It's just a matter of finding that last link in the chain, where the actual physical analog speakers are connected, and soldering there.
I shudder when I think about "Microsoft approved speakers"... imagine this extended to visual media, with secure digital monitors that will only display that MS say they can display.
Bugger this, I'm off down my local PC shop to stockpile non-drm hardware!! This scares me quite a bit!
There will always be _someone_ who has the inclination - and when that 1person has circumvented whatever controls are in place, _everyone_ can get it with very little effort.
I usually whip my laptop out and start hacking around and recompiling my kernel... that *always* causes the person next to me to look confused! And it helps spread the word about linux *g*
Especially since I don't use KDE or GNome, afterstep is fine for me:)
Yes, just like breaking encrypted is _possible_. Of course it's possible, it's just VERY difficult - I imagine you'd have to reverse engineer MSFT's signing code which would probably involve encrypting something on the disk with a MSFT key.
People keep harping on about how open source software means that they can trust downloaded source code, but who actually reads through to source code for something before they actually compile?
Usually it's just./configure && make && make install.
- www.wapsh.com (i think) - it's not SSH, but it uses apache to serve up a WML (WAP) and HTML interface to your shell. I use it - it's a bit clunky but it works.
Yes - most BIOSes can and do spin the hard disk down after a period of inactivity. However - most Linux distribution flush to disk every 5-10 seconds, which of course means there is never a period to spin down.
I did read about a hack to disable to bdflush on laptops somewhere, but it was a while ago.
Xeno's paradox basically describes a situation where you can travel an infinate distance closer to a point, by halving your distance to it in each step, but you'd never actually reach the target. Kind of like the fractal with an infinite perimeter, but can be totally enclosed by a circle of finite perimeter.
Yes - you can make emergency calls without a SIM, and in fact the call doesn't even go the network's MSC. It gets routed from the Base Station straight through to the emergency centre, using reserved (or defined) channels.
It was designed to work when communications are disrupted for whatever reason.
Hang on. The article does not mention jamming but the slashot story does. Do they have a clue? Surely jamming involves trasmitting a STRONGER signal in the same band? Thus increasing the effect?
What makes you think these "assholes" can't handle it at the speed?
You seem to think that 70-75 is safe whereas 90 is not. Where do you draw the line? Is someone cruising on the motorway at a steady 80 or 90 any more dangerous than a mother being distracted with screaming kids at 70?
It strikes me that a "safe" speed differs from person to person.

It just takes one person.

You must really love the program, and it's author, if you decide to broadcast a serial for it in this manner! That's just irresponsible.
Programmers have to eat too.

OK so they trojaned the source tar.gz, and uploaded it to the server somehow. So why did they not update the MD5SUM also?
...that this doesn't happen more often.

... "Two gigabytes of processing speed".. ???
I stopped reading at this point!

For those who's minds don't work the same way as mine, think of Bender's favourite saying.
Anyone know if LVM is in the kernel? This would be the only reason i would have to cook my own kernel...
Oh yeah and what about devfs?
Cheers!

Have you ever tried removing Gnome from Red Hat? You have to uninstall about half the RPMs!

I imagine the pseudo-code "algorithm" for making a cup of coffee would be one of the most important in CS!
Grrr... damn these confining mod point things. May mod as insightful, but i'd much rather mod as "Cunning" !
