I think it is supposed to improve when we switch to gcc-3.2, but it has to be ready for all the Debian platforms before that is attempted.
GCC-3.2 for Sparc doesn't seem to want to finish a 64-bit kernel compile... hopefully it will be working soon, though, as I'd like the RAID1 functionality to finally work!
Doing bogus cacheing on the client end for any length of time is not sane.
Not to mention that a very large number of sites are virtual hosted... so simply having the IP does nothing... you need the server name too otherwise you cannot have a virtual host. Be very, very thankful for HTTP 1.1.
Those who lived on the land, built the roads, or created the knowledge itself had no votes.
The Internet is:
1. Not owned by the public. 2. Not a right reserved for the public. 3. Not a form of government.
I'm still waiting for an explanation as to why "internet-land" should have "voters" and if it did, why those voters should be the "public" and not the people/corporations who actually pay to keep the internet running.
If you want the internet to be truly free (as in speech and beer), you'll have to spend the money yourself. If you don't pay, you get no say (refer to the list above).
[IE] crashes perhaps once-twice a month on average
Is that a plus or a minus? Mozilla never crashes on me, so I have to wonder why you think a crash per month is good. Maybe you're one of those people who just "accepts the fact that computers crash" to which I say, "I'm very, very sorry for you."
What else are the rejected Google search pigeons going to do? Even with the distributed power of their brains, coming up with interesting article descriptions is too complex; filling in a pre-made template is more efficient.
When BayTSP finds an IP address that appears to be the source of child pornography or pirated music or video files, under the DMCA, it can subpoena ISP logs. These logs can directly connect even dynamic IP addresses to user accounts, making it clear very quickly who owns the offending account. Every ISP keeps these http logs, and even products for so-called anonymous surfing aren't effective in circumventing the technique.
"We have 100 percent coverage of peer-to-peer file sharing," Ishikawa claims. "If you are illegally sharing copyrighted materials, we know who you are."
I still don't understand how ISPs log P2P file sharing... that's usually not taking place over port 80. Do they log every packet? Probably not (although if so, it'd be fun to generate a lot of bogus packets with your extra bandwidth).
Let me start by saying I know very little about coding, otherwise I'd probably already be rushing off to a night of coding by the glow from my monitor.
When the first Bayesian spam filtering article was posted, I thought it was a great idea, and this article just reinforces that idea. However, it would be interesting to build some sort of Sendmail module (or whatever MTA you like), but add some additional functionality:
1. Option to return a 550 error if the message is determined to be spam: "550 Delivery blocked; Bayesian filter reports spam probability of nn%"
- Right before reporting this error, wait n seconds or alternately, slow connection to n bps for n minutes.
- After reporting the error, "deliver" the Subject and Body of the email to the spam words database. 2. Inclusion of a whitelist, by IP, reverse DNS, MAIL FROM address, or RCPT TO address, header To: address, header From: address, etc. 3. Configuration of account where spams can be forwarded to, for automatic addition to the database.
- Perhaps this could be combined with the blacklist/whitelist. For example, any emails to spamthis@antispamdomain.com are always added to the DB. The entry could be as follows (similar to the Sendmail access map):
spamthis@antispamdomain.com <tab> BAYESIAN:SILENT
- This would allow for either silent addition to the filter (sender thinks mail was delivered -- good for spam harvesting emails, or for users to send their spam to), or a more "vocal" addition much like item #1 above, where a 550 error is reported... eg, BAYESIAN:550 or perhaps BAYESIAN:REJECT
I realize this would block a lot of mail, but I have my Sendmail currently configured to actually block spam (or what it considers spam) and have had very few issues with valid messages bouncing. Obviously, results may vary, but I'm a firm believer in rejecting spam during the SMTP conversation, not accepting it and then deleting it silently.
How will you recoup your costs? You're assuming that everyone will be using it for the web. Maybe most people will be doing so, but if there are enough who aren't (FTP'ing large ISOs, for example), your bandwidth will be very expensive without being able to recover those costs through ads.
Careful here, guys. Breaking the speed of light would be a truly wondrous, nobel-prize winning acheivment. Building transmission eqipment which boosts signal speed is really good and worthwhile, but nowhere near as important an advanced as superluminal transmission.
Of course, it is possible for the speed of light to be faster than its (normal) speed in a certain medium. For example, the speed of light through "air" is known, and is slower than the speed of light in a vacuum (and assuming no nearby gravity wells and all that fun stuff).
If you can get light to exceed it's normal speed through a certain medium, you get a "sonic boom," otherwise known as Cherenkov Radiation.
It is a violation of the EULA for Mac OS to run it on any non-Apple-branded hardware.
I'm guessing you didn't read the article. Note that the motherboard and processor in this example are Apple parts. So far there's no EULA violation.
However, a strict (stupid) interperetation might suggest that you must use your original Apple case as well... although the OS doesn't really "run" on the case, so that argument is out. However, maybe Apple will try to make an argument that you have to run MacOS on your Mac's included hard drive (as they are usually re-branded by/for Apple). I'd guess that would set Mac-zealots into a fury.
When people are scared, they make stupid decisions. How many people sat down after 9/11 and thought, "Gee, I guess this kind of thing was bound to happen sometime, and nothing we could have done would have stopped it."
Not many, I assure you.
The rest of the bozos just cowered in their homes (in view of the TV of course), and asked their respective governmental leaders to save them from the foreigners. Of course, does it matter that the US is a country of foreigners? No. Who cares about the melting pot anymore, someone knocked down a building!
I have yet to be convinced that any of the "patriotic" legislation of the past year has done the good it promised. As long as people continue to live in fear, we will continue to have laws that reflect this.
"If you trade freedom for security, you have neither"
I'm not sure if you're trolling or not... your argument is pretty bold yet lacking in supporting facts. But if you aren't trolling I would suggest you reverse the argument. I think it's more accurate to say that the more recent versions of Windows depend heavily on IE (consider it's integration into the shell).
There is a certain effect which happens in a battery sometimes for a large overunity battery popper unit like that, if the device is for real. Time-reversal operations and wave transductions can occur, resulting in time-excitation charging inside the battery materials, in a negative time charge sense (remember, the overunity operation is a negentropic operation). After a machine of that type and with that particular internal effects has been used to furnish energy for quite a while, you can make a definitive test on it.
I'm sorry, could you rephrase that? After I filtered out all the pseudo-scientific terms the sentences didn't make any sense.
Here's my prejudice: no scientific basis = seems false
You must not be religious either.
Score one point for your team!
By the way, have you ever noticed how "everyone" always says everyone else is stupid/an idiot/bad driver/etc? I'll be the first to say, though, that I may be that idiot on occasion. My problem is that most people who think they're "frickin' geniuses" are, sadly, not.
I'm a firm believer in the fact that the human race as a whole has a very low average intelligence (which can be lowered further when multiple low-intelligence individuals are placed in proximity). Thankfully, there are some people who decide to use their intellect for more productive purposes, one of which would be not posting this article on Slashdot.
Absolutely no scientific basis in this... but it still seems true
Translation: Either you're not smart enough to understand what you're doing (go ask someone smart), or you're grasping at straws, trying to renew your grant money. At least try to be creative!
I agree that charging fees after the format is underhanded, and possibly grounds for anti-trust violations
Considering patents are intended to be government-backed monopolies (to encourage new R&D), I don't see how there could be any sort of anti-trust violation.

Air travel will be very pleasant if the "in-flight cellular officer" is one of these guys, as I trust them to keep cellphone use to a tolerable level.
What would you do if a giant cellphone told you to "hang up, or else?"

*Sigh* I feel better now.
Why? Nothing's changed.
I dunno what they're going to do with 62 gigabytes of pr0n, though.
I'm surprised you've found a use for all of it. Maybe you're building the world's first "Internet Porn Way-Back Machine"

Why aren't there SVG versions available? Icons are great in SVG, but one area where SVG can really strut it's stuff is maps.

Isn't it going to be hard to collaberate on closed source projects?
Perhaps, but then what are the NTBugTraq, etc. users doing?

Users of the Internet could have "citizenship," pay some taxes, vote in "internet-land" elections....why not?
Do you really think that "VOTING BY 31337 Ha><oRs" is "teh win?"
How about those who actually own the pipes and routers decide?
For the same reason stop and go traffic probably kills the range since lots of current will be drawn starting and stopping the vehicle.
I think we would all be very surprised if the decelerator (or perhaps, negative accelerator) didn't use some sort of regenerative braking.
Y'know, I always thought that lighting came from computer monitors and the sun
Actually, lighting comes from falling electrons.

In my admittedly limited experience with New Scientist, I have found that the only thing they publish is this crap.
Kind of like that "new economy" where earnings don't matter and HTML programming makes you a computer expert?

"If you trade freedom for security, you have neither"
How true, how true.
Microsoft's problem is that it tied IE to the underpinnings of Windows, which essentially means you have to keep IE around.
Really?
Then how was Microsoft able to release IE for Solaris and HP-UX?
I'm not sure if you're trolling or not... your argument is pretty bold yet lacking in supporting facts. But if you aren't trolling I would suggest you reverse the argument.
