Actually, there was some scientist who had constructed an apparatus to detect them... (Don't ask me how!) He claimed to have found one, but nobody could reproduce the experiment... Hence the poem.
I think if you look long and hard enough you'll find something about it, it got quite a bit of publicity iirc.
Yes, but still, this press release meant to let the public know: look, we've made really cool ram. And they're making it look better than it is by doing it in bits.
Dude, Real programmers use a magnetic pin on their disks.
BTW, didn't we already have this discussion a while ago, and didn't it end in "What, you had mitochondria? We didn't have all that fancy stuff back in the old days."
Parity... Basicly, you take the least significant bit of the sum of the other 8 bits (or, to put it differently, you add the 8 data bits together, if it's even the parity bit is 0, else it's 1), and dump it in the parity bit.
>So they are marketting it as 288 when it can only store 256 of real data?
"We warrant each Acme Klein Bottle for a period of FIVE YEARS to be absolutely free of any magnetic monopoles. If you discover one, contact us immediately and we will refund your purchase price right after claiming the Nobel Prize."
That reminds me of the valentines day poem:
Roses are red, violets are blue. The time has come, for monopole two.
Or, the completely non-related poem:
Roses are red, violets are blue. Space is warped, and so are you.
"My butter, garcon, is writ large in!" a diner was heard to be chargin'. "I HAD to write there," exclaimed waiter Pierre, "I couldn't find room in the margarine."
I've emailed ESR about the fact that he claim's they're linux hackers.
He said: >OK, why did they say in response to the DVDCCA complain that they had >written the software in order to play DVDs on their Linux boxes? (Same >thing one of the defendents told me in private email.) Am I supposed >to believe they are lying?
My answer basicly being: Yes. I don't know why they did wrote it (It's obvious why they claimed they where doing it to view DVD's in linux), but somehow I find it hard to believe someone would write windows programs to view dvd's under linux.
Not for you maybe. (Not for me either actually, but then again I don't like most of the Z the P/jokes/). But then again other may. Let em have they're fun, I've had my share of laughs for the week with the quote I got yesterday:
Great cynicism, A+. However, I've found lot's of things online (and even quite a few in the fortune database) that I don't find funny. However, I just ignore them because one thing I have noticed is that as soon as you are totally politically correct, and you only write stuff that offends no-one, it's boring, and definately not funny. Reminds me of that xmas southpark epp where kenny doesn't die.
Now THIS is funny: I tried to find out where it was from, so I fed it to google. It returned microsoft.com as third hit. Google seems to associate microsoft with everything...
I'm usually not the kind of person to suggest this, but this is getting way out of hand:
Who can obtain his IP address? As soon as we get it, we'll pingflood/teardrop/whatever him to kingdom come... No food, no online shopping, nothing to do (Unless he's got enough books:0 ).
As long as that doesn't happen, he's just getting way too much money.

Of course they are...

True, they aren't real klein-bottles, but they are pretty good imitations....
Kleinbottle or no Klein Bottle, I WANT ONE! Heck, I want 12!

Actually, cristals contain quite large quantities of water.. But still, it's 'bound' so I guess it qualifies as dry.
In that case, could you spare a few hundred bucks? tia.

Yes, the reverse engineering part would have to be under win ofcourse. But why the decryption prototype?
While linux programs' GUIs might not always be on par with windows, I for one find it a much more versatile development platform.

It's probably a quote from some movie or play. I admit, I could think of more amusing quotes, but it might be very funny if you've seen the film.
Anyhow, nothing to get your tights up about imho.
>A few weeks ago, some Linux hackers in Norway cracked the encryption scheme used for DVD media, producing a DVD decoder called DeCSS
Linux hackers? Weren't they windows hackers?
How about gimps?

encrypt at a level below ip, just above the physical layer. (or in it)
