It's one thing to know that its one's own site, and one can do anything one pleases with it. But its another, completely, to totally ignore one's audience.
I run my own, well (not as well as slashdot, of course), visited site. (Gratuitous plug: VCL) I occassionally drop the line that 'the bottom line is, it's my site, and I can do what I want with it'. But if I was to take that line all the time, I'd have no visitors left, and no incentive to run the site anymore.
So... apart from the backend DB stuff that visitors never see, I always throw my ideas to the visitors. Not only do I get feedback about the new idea, (It's great! It sucks! Ehh... who cares), which can influence wether I go ahead with the feature or not, but sometimes I also get different ideas I may not have considered.
So, Hemos is doing exactly the right thing by airing his ideas here. Good on ya!
So, the next thing we'll have is a tinyfugue plug in so it'll draw maps for you, then a graphical front end so you're wandering around filesystems as if they were buildings and rooms in a VR environment, killing off rogue processes with your trusty sword of SIGTERM.
"Hey! You can't kill me, I'm nice -20!"
Or... we just get the interactive, multi-player plug in for SGI's VR filesystem viewer:)
GEnerally no. Copyrights under GPL 2.x licenses generally say 'you may use this code under the GPL version 2.0 or any later release'. It is likely that new code will say that you can use this code under GPL 3.0 or later, removing the option of using earlier versions of the license.
He's asking us politely to change the name, as the confusion is cutting into his bottom line of his business, the business he's trying to use to put food on the table and his kids through college (or whatever it is they have over in Finland).
Data Fellows helped us secure our networks for a couple of years (which is a long time in our industry), before openSSH came along. I think that deserves some accolades, and deserves him more than a little consideration of his request. And, it really was a request more than a demand.
So, I personally think it should be given consideration, regardless of how much of a pain it'll be. I think he deserves at least that much.
The reason radios are banned in aircraft is because, inside the radio, particually FM ones, is generally an oscillator that is oscillating at the carrier frequency. Internally, this, and the incoming signal, are fed through a phase-locked loop which effectively cancels the carrier frequency out, and gives you the audio signal.
They're worried that the carrier oscillator won't be shielded enough, and leak out.
Personally, I think this is BS, but that's the line I've gotten from those in the know. (Note, I'm a private pilot, so while I'm not exactly authoratitive, I do have access to some pretty knowledgable people.)
The floppy disk manufacture have spent years 'improving' their disks. This is, of course, to be read as "Squeezing every last cent out of the manufacturing costs." What we end up with is disks that (most of the time) format fine when first used, but just a few weeks down the track are unusable, and have to be thrown out.
However, they've not done the same thing with the old 720k disks. These fortunately have the same oserted rating as the 1.44M disks. So, if you can find them, buy all you can, drill a hole on the opposite side of the write enable hole and viola! You have a 1.44M disk that is generally more reliable than the designed-for-the-purpose 1.44M disks:)
I'm of two minds deciding wether it would be worthwhile, or even proper, to prosecute the cuprits (if they're ever found).
Sure, its a great 'hack' in the true sense of the word, but can we truely rely on their safety assurance skills? Also, look at the traffic trouble they caused: I wonder how many people missed their flights from SFO because of the trouble.
Personally, I think they should both be congratulated, and be sentenced to community service at the same time:)
Advertisers don't care what's selling, but they care a whole lot about what's selling to WHO. Ie, is the person who bought product A likely to buy product B, too?
Ie, its all about DIRECTED marketing, not just marketing.
Scrabble is still zero-sum, because for every point you make, that's one EXTRA point all your opponents need to make to equal your score.
One way to look at it is: As the game progresses, the datum line moves upwards, to the average of all player's scores. Ie, the sum of all players scores is zero, plus an offset.
A true zero-sum game that uses scores would be something that a point by another player is not necessarily a point YOU dont have.
As soon as you stop trying to accellerate, and let the gravity of the earth start pulling you back, you're in effective 0g. The fun part is, you can still be going UP at the time, but you'll start decelerating, stop, then start accellerating towards the earth again. All in perceived 0g.
So, excluding funky dynamics due to the bird they're flying, the 0g portions are the UPPER parts of those arcs, ie. from the middle to the top and back to the middle again, all the lower parts are your 2g stuff.
Should you not be saying 'If you broadcast data into the ether, but I dont want anyone listening to it, then you use encryption. If they break it, good for them'.
So... over time, we update our encryption methods to make it more and more difficult for more and more powerful computer system to crack. Isn't that exactly what DirectTV are doing? I think its commendable that they weren't trying to knock down people's doors to prevent abuse, but they were being clever with the method on how to piece together a new encryption scheme to prevent abuse.
I think it was a brilliant masterstroke. They should make a movie out of it. I have no sympathy for the hackers/crackers out there; they had their free-run, and they've been beaten.
There are a lot of ways around that. One is they can charge a higher price. If that's illegal, then all they have to do is have a standard price that is way too expensive, then offer discounts for various reasons.
AH yes... but technically, the 'go code' isnt a barcode, as it doesnt contain bars. The NeoMedia patent refers to barcodes, therefore, GoCode doesnt infringe on the patent.
Postfix is somewhat easier to set up than either sendmail or qmail, it's very secure (not quite as so as qmail, but some would call qmail's security policy excessive), and the author of postfix doesn't suffer from a severe attitude problem towards standards.
(Did I sayThat qmail's author has an attitude problem? No, I did not:)
I believe they're in use quite heavily in aviation. Part of the interial navigation system.
The system involves entering in your starting location, and you just go. It will accurately track your movements, but needs to be 'reset' every now and then to eliminate accumulated error.
It always seems the way with sony. THey come up with a technology, some good, some bad, but they keep it all to themselves and the technology goes nowhere but for very small niche environments.
This one sounds like it'll be no more popular than minidisks.
There's quite a few programs that will give you the functionality that you're desiring, including the 'Desk Accessory' model. Not sure what they're called, but if you look at the utilities section of palm.com, for example, you'll find it.

Wonderful! Cool! Amazing! I think, anyway :)

It makes sense that they're Pro-BSD, considering their entire TCP/IP stack is based on BSD code. Can't go trashing that, can we?
Geez... you couldn't even get that right. It's:
HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN!!
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
Don't you mean 1,000,000 pico satelites? :)
Hey... what's the big deal? WHen I was in university, I wrote a C compiler, and linker, in BASIC on my TRS-80/Model I.

Okay, so 'Hello world\n' took 20 minutes to compile...
