I agree with your response completely. I have no doubts about SDMI's execs intentions. I also think that 10K IS enough money to motivate a signicant amount of people to hack this tech AND report their findings to SDMI. I wish it wasnt so, but I fear that it is.
If you win the 10K, I'll sell you my car. Seriously though, 10K is considered a lot of money by a lot of people. It may not put you on easy street, but it sure would help with bills.
I submitted this on Monday (2000-09-11 14:03:52 SDMI offers $10,000 challenge to hackers (articles,music) (rejected)), and I must admit I was shocked that it was found unworthy... but I am glad to see this is getting some attention... I find it rather cunning that SDMI would tempt hackers with $10K to help improve a technology that most ( I know its a generalization, but I believe it to be true) hackers would find offending, crack the technology, then release the crack publicly. Hopefully the boycott will work, but I have my doubts cuz 10 Large is a lot of dough!!!
Since the OS on the appliance IS Linux, maybe HP assumed that the rabid community of Linux hackers (as in programmers) would punch out its own code to make this support Linux as a client!!!
--insert coorperate mindset--
Why pay developers to write code to support
a linux client, when the community that wants
it, can and likely WILL do it itself.
--end cooperate mindset--
Does anyone still have a copy of the (pre-trial, I THINK) information posted on the Court's web site that oops... contained DeCSS in its entirety? If so, I sure would like to see it!!!
cheers

The article is very short on details (or I overlooked them). Does any one have a clue what the listed patent #'s refer to, and how 3dfx may have infringed?
Thanks for the info(about the cost of maintnance), I was wondering why Motorola would sacrifice all that expensive hardware by letting it fall out orbit. I still dont understand why Motorola would turn down a $50 Mil offer. Maybe they feel like the scorned lover "if I cant have it, nobody can" !?! Certainly an odd policy for a publicly held corp dont you think?
It is likely, nay, PROBABLE that Adrian HAS read the howto, but sometimes off-the-cuff or inflammatory remarks drive the point home a little better than an acceptably PC response. Plus, Im relatively certain that the inflammatory nature of this comment is the REASON it was published in the article, and as it often uttered around the nice folks at the MPAA "any publicity is good publicity".
I work as a Unix admin (mostly Solaris) in a medium size corp. network, and over the years I have come to LOVE outlook!!! It means I dont have to deal with sendmail.cfg macros, and I have mv'd/etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail to/etc/rc2.d/s88sendmail (the lowercase 's' means the startup script will not execute). I no longer deal with whiney users that dont know what an eof marker is for... The other benefit is that on occasion I get to sit back laugh at the NT admins as they scramble to eradicate the latest mutation of the I LOVE YOU worm from the exchange servers.
Ahhh... life is good!
The ruling seems correct, but for the wrong reason! I cant quote or link to the article I read, but to paraphrase... I seem to recall the original complaint by e-bay was that this service gave consumerA and unfair advantage over consumerB (during open bidding). In that sense (and if the service truly creates an advantage) the ruling would make sense to ME. If, however the precedence is applied to a retail site, and the retailer is allowed to block price comparison checks, then the RETAILER may have an advantage over both consumerA and consumerB. That precedence would suck for all the overworked and underpaid geeks out there!!

Nothing like having ALL your data broadcasted into the airwaves. I guess you could shield your house / office.

Think Beowolf, then insert IBM's ridiculously high pricing.
SP = scalable parallel... (a.k.a. cluster)
At one point in time this was the SHIT! Now, well there are some better, but it is still a powerful configuration.

Are you the Anne Marie I recently read about on Salon? I saw your username and the possibility that you are who I think you are came to mind.
If you are not her, I apologize. If you are, don't be concerned. I am only curious.

Thats impressive, but an E450 (thats Sun Enterprise 450)can hold 4 CPU's, 64gb RAM(I think), 20 disks internal, and 10 PCI's.

You got the BLOW part right. Sun rules.

Last time I checked, overclocking was done at the HARDWARE level.

cool... good stories, GREAT characters
But, would not the satellites burn up on re-entry in to the Earths's atmosphere? If not, why not?
Skink... as in Carl Hiassen (SP?) ?
Never heard of "postfix"... Please enlighten me. Thanks ;)
