  4. static dhcp ? on What's On Your Network? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    the best solution I have seen is where you have to register your equipments MAC address, then you get a "static" (i.e. always the same) ip address served to you via dhcp. No registered MAC address == no ip address. Presumably they had something looking for unregistered MAC addresses too. Pretty good, but doesn't stop you going in with a static address in the right range tho...

  10. Not just games, interaction on Java to Appear in Next-Gen DVD players · · Score: 1

    If the plan was just to add games, then I would agree with you. Actually, the idea is that MPEG-4 streams will carry coded "objects" which the user can interact with. Hence MPEG-J. See http://www.chiariglione.org/mpeg/tutorials/koenen/ mpeg-4.htm

    Sure, I was just a bit irked by the assertion that This may be one of the higher profile deployments of Linux based systems - it's surely not ! google, anyone ?

  17. news credits on BBC Launches Linux Powered Weather Format · · Score: 4, Interesting

    a linux system also renders the red+black graphical intro to bbc news. there are many linux systems in use at the beeb. why so surprised ?

  18. fun for hackers on Intel Adds DRM to New Chips · · Score: 5, Interesting

    from TFA: Additionally, AMT also features what Intel calls "IDE redirection" which will allow administrators to remotely enable, disable or format or configure individual drives and reload operating systems and software from remote locations, again independent of operating systems. Both AMT and IDE control are enabled by a new network interface controller.

    lots of fun to be had with this I think..

  19. Re:Semantic Web? on Using the Semantic Web to Enhance Search · · Score: 1

    Until truly intelligent semantic classifying engines are available, the semantic web is best suited to things like wikipedia where the information is (generally) of a higher quality than what you find on a more general purpose site, like the one you are viewing now !!

    For example, a slashdot story about a newly discovered type of <crab type="crustacean"/> would soon degenerate into postings about <crab type"venereal disease"/>. Marking quickie (pun intended) posts up semantically would detract from the whole slashdot experience.

    Thinking about it though, slashdot already has options for various mark-up schemes (plain old text et al), perhaps a semantic markup option could be useful in some cases where the poster could be bothered...
