I put up a decent firewall and secured the services I wanted to run on my machine. However, I still 'turned off ping' just so the ping flooders wouldn't 'see me' as easily.
One thing to keep in mind is that obscurity doesn't make you more secure, just harder to find.
you get the optimal value (instead of the current value of h38). However, if you use 'h35', instead, you get nothing displayed(!). Yet, using 'h34' or 'h33' on down, displays your string with one character fewer (for each decrease in 'h' repetition). I find that odd.
I'm so fucking sick and tired of Slashdot "editors" making blatant political statements when they're supposedly reporting the news.
The fact that the editors do form an opinion or add humor to a story is why I read slashdot so much. And it's just that -- an opinion. You have the freedom to give your own in the comments as you have already shown above. If you want "just plain news" then go to MSNBC.;)

By the time I'm relaxing in the cool shadow of the earth, I'll want my fiber spank channels fed into my wetjack. Oh wait, the latency on 2-way to the bordello AI is just a bit too large.
No offense, but how old are you? Did you never use telnet (or telnet-like BBS systems) before the web? 9600 is plenty fast for a telnet connection. (Most serial console connections to sun/hpux boxen are static at 9600). If you want low latency, 33.6 is fast enough.
Your lag in 'pine' is probably based on the server and not the connection.
But who uses telnet anyway? You should be asking about ssh.
I don't know much about those other devices but I bought 2 IO's when they were $99 each (no service contract). I easily put a 6GB 9mm hdd in one and poped it in my car to play tunes. I got a cheap SMC usb nic for the other one and it and my coffee table are quite comfortable together. For the one in the car, I did the audio hack which required soldering on to small smc's (surface mount components). All the info can be had from linux-hacker and links from there.
My current salary comes from government sponsored research. The details of the grant my University recieved, specify that any software
we produce under the grant is to be open source. In one specific grant, our end-result software is to be GPLed. I'm assuming most government
sponsored research will continue in this manner (however, I can still see Microsoft attempting to change this).
anyone remember the STNG or Deep Space 9 episode where the Cardassian had the anti-torture device implanted in his system. It would activate whenever he was in incredible pain and would keep him 'calm' and he wouldn't even feel the pain. Under normal circumstances, it gave him an incredible high. Eventually he found a device to turn it on and off remotely. So he eventually became dependent on it and left it on all the time. The was then his norm. I can't quite remember, but the power supply was failing or the device was failing and he needed a repair, or the 'pain' of normal-life (what everyone else considered normal) would kill him. Was a cool story and I could definately see this happening here.
On a side note, this would be cool as a remote, intoxicating device. Just hold this thing against the back of your neck and instand high. Simply incredible that someone created this device.

according to everything2, SPAM stands for for "Specially Processed Assorted Meat" as artificial meat would probably be nastier than assorted meat. It also would not be properly followed by "Luncheon Meat" (or some other noun) as the trademark requests.
However, the first time I heard of spam == junk mail, I asked around and was told "Sometimes Pornographic Advertising Messages" which made sense to me at the time and makes sense now. If anyone can find a "published" location that describes spam as such, please post below.

I agree that the benchmark was not very useful, but it was still interesting. However, testing only the "basics" of the kernel enabled them to show a long-term trend over several kernel versions.
Indeed, we've seen many cases here where the person whose work was copied ends up in a situation where they have to prove their own innocence.
I definately agree (being a student enrolled in a university). I also like my work to be available for anyone to see it -- basically OpenSchoolwork. I don't advertize my work, but it's freely available on the web. If people wish to copy it, it's their choice. If they fail to give me credit, that is also their choice. Pretty much comes down to academic honesty -- but I also think the professor made a great tool to check honesty. I only wish there was some way to prove original authorship.
that's crazy. I'm in a high-performance computing
class with a 64-node beowulf of mixed Athlon 900's and 1.2's. We bought the PC's in pieces and it took each person about an hour to build one.
any style "simputer" developed today should have a variety of simple interfaces such as the PDA touch-pad, close-proximity wireless devices (like one-hand pocket keyboards), visors/eye pieces, voice, etc. and should be
fashionably wearable. Only with of course being 24/7 wireless and having week-long battery lives will the "general world-wide public" be interested.
How about using supposed frequency analysis to a much more refined degree and creating playable music (enhanced sheet music with much more information) for an entire ensamble. Then pass that to an electronic ensamble that reproduces the music in near-duplicate to the one you recorded from. Still free?
Ninento-style glove was what I was thinking as well.. possibly more adapted to current technology (such as electronic gyroscopes to record subtle movement if desired). Basically the virtual reality style interface shown in Johnny Mnemonic. (of course you wouldn't have to hold your hands up, you could just rest them and be limited to more finger movement -- with 'goggles' for a viewport, you could even have a virtual keyboard.)
I'm guessing that any sort of "standard contract" probably would not merge well with an existing contract. The place I can see this being helpful is for programmers getting new jobs. They would first need to get their prospective employer to sign this "loose" contract of terms that both parties agree upon, then sign the more restrictive corporate contract (updating those terms as necessary). Seems like a difficult, but still possible solution, but or course, IANAL.
