No, NAT implies at least a minimal firewall. Take the following situation: You have a box that's doing NAT without firewalling. Someone tries to establish a connection to your public IP on port X. What does the NAT box do? It can't let that connection go through, because it doesn't know which private IP to forward it to.
Look, when most people make coffee at home, they boil the water. Water cannot get any hotter than the boiling point (if it did, it would be a gas). So that means that McDonald's couldn't get their coffee any hotter than people at home can.
This means that all hot drinks should be considered dangerous, and that if you get burned because you put it in your lap, it's your own damn fault.
Now, because of this woman, when I, on occasion, get breakfast at McDonalds, the coffee is cold by the time I make it to work.
A good use that I can think of would be to put an readers into refrigerators and cabinets, and to put tags in food packaging. That way, when you were out of a particular item (say milk, or bread), an order for that particular item could be placed automatically. I would think that this would be really helpful for single parents or the elderly.
8GB?? Sounds like it's a 64-bit processor with a 33-bit address bus.
No, it's a motherboard with 8 memory slots. (i.e. the 8GB limit is one of physical size on the motherboard, not a logical one of how much memory the chip can actually address.
Even the 32-bit P4 can address 64GB
No, it can't. 4 GB is the maximum that any 32-bit processor can address
Disagree? Give a brand new machine to your parents, or grandparents and get them to install unix. See what happens, and if you have any hair left after walking them through
Well, my parents had no problem installing MacOSX. *ducks*
Yes, it's the local loopback, but if the trojan is using a spoofed address it can cause real traffic:
Trojan connects to 127.0.0.1, using a spoofed address of 192.168.1.100 (yes, I know that's not a real routable address)
Traffic doesn't leave the computer as it goes to 127.0.0.1
However, when the local computer tries to reply, it does so using the spoofed address, and attempts to send it to 192.168.1.100, thereby generating traffic on the local network. (which in the case of a lot of colleges is the entire college network)
multiply by thousands of students... miniature, self-inflicted DDOS
Simple. You have a file called "x" (title or name indicating some copryrighted work) but it really just contains "y" (some uncopyrighted content). Someone who sees a listing of your files assumes "x" means that the file contains "x" when it does not. By definition, this is *misrepresenting* what the file contains.
OK, on my hard drive, I have a file called "Unreal.zip". It contains a short story called "Unreal". If someone wants to accuse me of having an illegal copy of the game "Unreal", then they'd have to unzip the file and look at it's contents, otherwise, they have no evidence what so ever. They have no more evidence than if they found a teddy bear in my house, with a label that said gun, and accused me of trying to distribute guns to children.
Labels (which are all filenames are) given to my files have no more or less meaning than I ascribe to them, they are merely mnemonic devices intended to make them easy for me to find. If, for some reason, naming a file "Michael Jackson" helps me find it, then so be it, but there is no "misrepresenting" going on.
I really don't understand the gap-jawed complaints some people are expressing. Its a fourty dollar device compared to a TWO HUNDRED dollar device. Please, lets not act too surprised.
The point isn't that it's cheap. The point is that it's marketed as a device with artificial intelligence, yet it has no intelligence by any accepted definition of the word.
The GPL could end up nullified in such a way that the Linux kernal became sort of a free-for-all public domain piece of code.
No, if the GPL were nullified, then normal copyright law would take over, and all code under the GPL would revert to being normal, copyrighted source code. Then no one would have a right to use it until the original authors said so. So, even if the GPL were completely nullified, the authors of such code would need to re-release it under some other open source license (maybe an updated/revised GPL)
The problem with that is there are no true clean ways (except dams) to create electricity.
Umm, windmills, solar cells, geo-thermal...

complex carbohydrates != glucose
No, but what do you think complex carbohydrates become when they've been broken down by the digestive process... wait for it... glucose! So, by the time that potato salad is digested, and makes it into the blood, all that starch has been turned into glucose.
Two words: "weight loss".
People already pay out the ass for weight loss solutions, how about this: These fuel cells are implanted in the body, burning off glucose in the blood, and using the energy for something (powering a cell phone, whatever, it doesn't matter what). That way, fat people around the world^H^H^H^H^H USA could lose weight, while continuing to be lazy.:)

50 Billion Yen is approx $421 Million, not $400 Billion. There's a big difference.
IBM has made chips for the Mac for almost a decade now. (including all of the G3's that Apple used in it's PowerBooks, iMacs, PowerMacs and iBooks)

How dare you! My name really is "Otis B. Driftwood".
MB = Megabyte (approx 1,000,000 bytes)
Mb = Megabit (1,000,000 bits)
mb (if such a thing existed) = milibit (1/1000 of a bit)

Then we just need a bot that is smart enough to say: "I am a real person." :)

It was a joke, idiot. And it was in his sig, it wasn't part of the message.
Read it again: "Thank god I'm atheist". Why would an atheist be thanking god? Because it's a joke.
Sure there is, do it like the spammers do -- find an open SMTP relay somewhere in China or Korea, and send it through there.
