I downloaded it too and thought it was a great album one of the best all year, every song is great. It would have been one of the few CDs I would have purchased but since I read this...
Shame on the BB for promoting freedom in their lyrics and then having a DRM program on that same CD.
I have seen one of these displays (the Sharp laptop) at a tech show a while ago. Its the same old technology that is on the 3d stickers/posters and all kinds of stuff. A transparent surface with narrow vertical grooves covers the image, splitting the image into two slightly different directions. Here are the problems:
1. Your head has to be in EXACTLY the right place for it to work. If you move your head at all the image goes from true 3D to blurry to reverse 3D. There is a very small "sweet spot" where the 3D effect works best.
2. Two images mean half the horizontal resolution in each image. This works fine for games and pictures but for text or fine details it makes a big difference.
3. After watching for two minutes my eyes were strained. After a half hour I suspect I would have had one of those famous "virtual-boy-headaches".
4. ALL the demo would show in 3D was static images. I have a feeling that motion probably worsens one or more of the problems I have described above.
Be realistic, if the box DID have a sticker saying "Router WG602 - Now With Even More Backdoors!" most Joe-BestBuy-Consumers would flip it over and look for little doors on the back of it.
Face it, until there is a major disaster involving IT security most of this type of information will remain the exclusive domain of security geeks and haxors.
If he had just posted some pictures of it somewhere the server would have been slashdotted/farked to hell almost instantly. Behold the power of ebays servers!
Thanks to this auction thousands, if not millions of people will see his work that probably would have not otherwise. I have seen a link to this auction on several web sites I frequent so it is getting quite a bit of attention.
No but it is following the media trend of making the ISS out to be a money pit that is plagued with problems. Its almost like there is a sense of schadenfreude in seeing such ambitious projects having setbacks.
Ah now my cisco wifi card is finally more supported than before. It worked pretty good on the old version but netstumbler would often just shut down instantly when more than one access point were available at the same time. This new version seems to work MUCH better.
The cisco cards work great under linux and its nice to see this great app become even more useful even if it is for windows. On that topic has anyone ported NS or another active wifi scanner to linux?
This is a very accurate simulation of actual light and optics, calculating the properties of every photon. Most renderings you see use a lot of tricks and shortcuts to achieve a similar effect but this one is much more accurate to whats happening in real life.
Well thats what Id assume at least by reading the CPU power it took to render it...
Believe me, I have a Dell with a GF FX 5200 GO in it and its LAME for games, even overclocked. My old Geforce 2 outperforms it. You can get the same system as this beast from many places (Sager, Dell) for a little more money and half the weight. Oh and with a decent video card.
I installed XP today and I had to reboot 3 times (workgroup name for example) I dont see how this would work without saving the configuration in some way.
If you want to make your online gaming ten times as fun grab TeamSpeak 2 (available for Linux and Windows) and a headset microphone. Playing games with TS2 I have met so many cool, mature online players. Find a good TS server and make friends, then you will always have buddies up for a few rounds. Having a voice to go with the players gives you a sense of having real people around instead of just names and tends to get everyone to act more mature. That and you can tell who is 12 years old instantly...
I carry a variety of flavors of Linux CDs in my car and use live version to show friends and family what they are missing. Suse 9.0 live-eval works great for showing people what this "linux thing" they have read about is.
I travel back and forth from Europe all the time and unfortunately few of the DVDs that I have legitimately purchased will work both places whereas burned movies work just fine everywhere. For me it has been a pretty good reason NOT to buy DVD movies because if I PAY for them, it will only work half the time! I have had to search P2P networks for movies that I own on DVD because my "legal" copy won't work.
Maybe if you consider that spending money improving problems in residential areas (like doing stuff about traffic noise) that raises the value of the area and make it a more desirable place to live might have some beneficial, if not immediate effects for everyone.
What is the exact process name? I looked up everything thats running (and in the run part of the registry) and didnt find "support link" or anything else overly suspicious.
Then again I bought my dell laptop in germany and we have "personal data protection" laws that would probably make what you are describing illegal.
Amazing that ISR jokes still get modded up. I guess its an "inside joke" for slashdotters and that makes it funnier. Used on the right occasion I guess they can still be funny.

I believe Stanley Kubrick expressed this very well in "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb".
My first reaction is:
LED lit roads - good
Roads that track you everywhere you go - Bad
So why does such a good idea have to become "real-world bloatware"?
Extensive study has shown that ebay itself IS the missing second step in the equation!
Try it! It works in almost any permutation!
Example:
1. Steal underwear
2. ebay
3. Profit!!
It fits!

I belive kismet is a passive scanner, what I prefer is an active scanning program.

Well? Anyone know how it overcomes this? RAM drive and "virtual reboot" maybe?
Download a dozen DVD movies at once and have them all display in real time? That would LOOK impressive at least.

And I just got WAY into Australian pop music! Now I'll never get my fix.

I bet if it was going to be REALLY cool someone would steal the source code and ruin it for the rest of us...

At least that's what Sim City taught me.
Have not played HoU yet but I remember reading that the single player campaign now has three party members.
Of course the REAL way to play NWN is online with a party of 4-6

Why would someone try this? The technology is ancient and there are much better...
Oh wait, wasn't there a story on here a few days ago about how to hook a C64 to your cable modem?
Never mind then.
