yes, of course, I never used one, and BTW, I'd prefer facial recognition (like on the sony vaio c1vx) or retinal scanner. you get this point. but if you want me to use one, just explain me why I am "plenty wrong", not just "about"... You may also continue insulting me and just get your precious argumentation wasted.
how does it take to your inanimed body to reach the bloddy pressure stage that'd warn this device of your unavailableness? don't you think that if I just blast your head I may enter the system within one second or 2?
With a standard passwd, you had to consent to give this valuable information to a bad guy.
With this system, you just have to stand nearby, and, whether you agree or not, a pirate will find it less difficult to *borrow* you to hack into your computer.
In conclusion, this fingerprint system will make both our lives and computers less secure.
Autonomy: what does "up to 4 hours" mean? (hint on my personnal laptop, this means 2 hours)
Modem: Winmodem or real modem?
Finger print stuff: Do they give this detector's specs? what about a Linux driver? (Could be fun to bypass the Linux login sequence or ssh communication keyboard-oriented establishment)... BTW, what if I scorch my finger?(I guess it could work but I would like to be sure)
Even if I do appreciate Sun's resistance to Microsoft's monopoly, I just can't stand when people consider them as our saviours.
They're just another company and I am not sure their interest in this solution is not also leaded by rentability's sake.
correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't the climate be altered in case of an atmospheric nuclear explosion, somewhere ?
In such case, declaring that IBM's machine may predict the world weather thousands years from now would mean it could also predict nuclear conflicts ?
OK, now let's be serious, I believe that by mentioning thousands years from now, the author's intended to explain us that the dominator (isn't that a motorcycle name ?) could reajust its parameters to process new long-term forecasts in real time. Am I right this time ?
GNUArt protect art, not the artist, this means that if -for example- Britney Spears put one of her songs under the GNU GPL License, she is not obliged to do so with all the rest (Thanks God;-) but we will fight to preserve her rights on what she accepted to share,...
A full time artist may also live by GPL'ing his stuff, as if he gets enough recognition, he then may earn money with either concerts, expositions or whatever else, which doesn't forbid any other to do so with *his* creations, but just gives *him* a chance to get more recognition with fewer risks as either
being the prisoner of a contract signed with a major company
just giving away stuff that may be "patented by somebody else"
I think GNUArt is the missing link and I'll translate it ASAP. Please, use the Fish, till then.
A former famous hardcore band from France also "gave" us the responsability of putting all their stuff under the GNU GPL License: Garlic Frog Diet...
Funny but your comment reminded me of Irix...
What do you think the "roulette" to the left of the file manager window is used for ?
Got it : Zoom in and out.
A drunk friend just vomitted on me, this may happen
I bought many bottles and one of these has been accidentaly broken
In both cases, I might smell horrible, this detector might call some cops, waiting nearby.
If I have some kilometers to drive and as many cops as I saw last summer in San Francisco (maybe 1 car every 200 meters), then does this mean I'll get arrested every time I'll see one or will th efirst one be able to de-activate my sensor to avoid me these annoyances ?
So if microsoft is plannig to occupy the home entertainment channel with their devices while the home Geek will still have Linux, MenuetOS, BSD's, to grow his computer-related abilities...
It reminds me of the early eighties when the people willing to be entertained by electronic devices used Nintendo's Game&Watch or Atari/Coleco... while the others Geeks would just code anything (compact) in BASIC.
I hope Microsoft doesn't plan to leave only expensive "professional" solutions to the home hobbyist coder or it may look like there won't be many MS-coders around in 25 years...
I actually several potential answers to your questions. These are:
To demonstrate one's expertise in a domain (many Open Source Project Leaders found jobs that made them famous)
Because they do it just for the fun of it (I am currently reading Linus' "Just For Fun" biography). They consider the fun of exrcising their brains and would just give away what they did so that it has a chance to benefit from one another's point of view...
Because everybody does it (do't blame me on this but I see people who don't even know why they do it but just do it because they don't care. There's no real sign of altruism here.)
The CoyoteLinux distro runs from a floppy and makes an old machine a perfect firewall provided you add 2 network cards and a floppy disk drive, but this should cheap enough regarding the security you'd get.
After the MIPS, exit the Alpha, exit the PA-Risc (to be replaced by the Intel IA64).
Now the remaining outsiders are: Sparc, RS6000 and IA64.
I am not quite sure I appreciate this as the workstation market used to be quite wider.
and I still don't reckon the G4 or the P4 are relevant for workstation use.
I actually observed quite a huge performance loss when switching from Quake 3 Arena to Quake 3 Team Arena, I don't know yet if this is due to some changes in the AI engine or in the map engine (Q43TA maps are often much bigger) but still there are quite a lot of issue regarding the new game-related technologies: physical modelling, artificial intelligence, etc.
I doubt a GeForce25 could help improving this, except by lowering the CPU charge a little...
Now it would be also good to gain more power for productivity sake, the ones who read this book or this one or will understand me for sure.
If I actually grimaced when I read this word, I later realized that a soldier doesn't have as many privileges as a civilian.
For example, he doesn't have the right to refuse anything, nor to have much privacy.
In this case, we could then consider that it is legitimate as it was a soldier who was "monitored".
IBM is an R&D company, they don't need to produce to make money, they rather rely on the royalties they get on each patent they may "rent" to their customer.
Actually this is the most secure way to make money as you can still rely on what you already patented.
Slashdot Mirror
You may also continue insulting me and just get your precious argumentation wasted.
Exactly, "someone" can demand my password but I may not give him, as it was replied before by AC.
The same "someone" may just knock me out and use my hand which will be easier than forcing me to reveal a password...
So, no, I think the above guy made a good point.
So, you just made a good point:

The highlight of the annual Computer Bowl occurred when
Bill Gates,
who was a judge, posed the following
question
to the contestants:
After a moment of silence, Jean-Louis Gassee (ex-honcho at Apple) hit his buzzer and answered:
Mr. Bill's expression was, in the words of one who was there, "classic."

> Forth is relevant? prove it!
Forth is everywhere.
Look in the Solaris kernel repository, there are even Forth source code.
The Java virtual machine is a specific Forth-like implementation.
Even Postscript looks like Forth enough to claim its legacy.
You should rather demostrate us that this obviously useful language does *not* exist, instead of trolling...
Don't bomb civilians, bomb the bombers.

Also, Tompox, in my
And BTW, there no License called the GNU art License, we only use the GNU GPL License itself.
good starting point for a license for music?
Yes.
We, at GNUArt, directly use the GPL to protect Art.
After discussing it with RMS, we agreed it would be possible:
Lots of artists trust us, just browse our gallery for free "GNU" Art...

Could be some ritual thing, but he doesn't seem that harmful, except to himself...
Anyway, it seems that KenShan is also the writer of a superb multiplexing output Perl module.

I don't prefix "Linux" with those 3 little letters and a slash even tho I've been asked.
Then, don't bother why Linux'll finally lose marketshares...
I personally had many occasions to proof what RMS was saying and I definitely agree his strategy is the most efficient against FUD.
Open Source is a concept, GPL is a philosophy. It is much more evolved.
