I've always found, and granted, I'm not a major in quantum theory, a small problem with the way the 'wave function' is described.
It is said that the state of an unobserved subatomic particle is 'all possible states', ie: it exists as a probability. When observed, it 'collapses' into one of it's possible states.
Now, one could *also* view this as
The particle is *already* in a state, however, there is absolutely no way we can know this without observing it. What it boils down to, really, is that both theories can be correct. THe probability wave stuff... it makes sense. I mean, until we observe something, we do not not it to exist or anything about it. As to whether it really changes state or not.. it's almost a philosophical question. DOES something exist beforew we observe it? Does anything? Or rather, until we observe it, does it's state matter to our universe? Wierd...
Put foot back in mouth. Be quiet. As many have pointed out, both cPCI and VME are supported in linux. The manufacturer of the board in question even says it works.
Wow. Glad to know there are lots of 'experts' out there to educate everyone.
Yeah. Going for 90% of the market. Who woulda thought? That's how you do business man! and it's more like 99% of the market. "Oh no! this restaurant doesn't serve pork. Too bad they aren't serving the.1% of the market that only eats pork.'
Well. I just played the WHOLE demo. Not bad.. but not great either. The graphics were.. less than stunning. I didn't experience any performance problems.... but I have a geforce 256.
It was somewhat entertaining. I did sit through the whole thing, after all.. but it wasn't that satisfying. Much like tomb raider, actually.
I agree.. frogs and mosquitos. Considering the graphics horespower available today, they don't give much to look at.
Oh.. where is this intense action you mentioned? I must have missed that part.
Know what? All this.com bullshit, and all the domain wierdness is just going to burn itself out. We are quickly approaching a point where poeple realize that the DNS is *NOT* the best way to look up services, and that the domain name doesn't have to be the most important part of your web presence. It's just a pointer man...
Companies who make their money off of registration *need* to get more TLD's, or they will go out of business. Think about it. We run out of meaningful domains, but don't run out of meaningful things to put on the web, so people will find other ways to do it. I mean, really.. if people know an address once, they know it anyway.. it doesn't have to be a catchy domain. Heck, most are too long to bother typing anyway..... I just bookmark it or yahoo it..
Uhh... DHCP servers keep logs. Easily. Web servers keep logs. Many firewalls keep logs.
IT's sort of like doing a manual phone trace.. but one CAN, with cooperation from admins along the way, find out *exactly* where packets are coming from.
And the guy bragged about it too... to top it off.

Buying/posessing cocaine is illegal. If you come to me looking for some nose garbage, and I say 'yeah. Go two doors down and ask for Rodney, he'll hook you up.' then technically, I *AM* committing a crime. I am aiding in the commission of a crime.
If trafficking in a certain type of material is illegal, and you provide people with information as to how to obtain that material, then you are committing a crime. The proper response, in the eyes of the law, is to say 'Sir, that material is illegal. I cannot help you to obtain it.'.
Actually.. they are not the . in.com, the article misrepresents the truth.
The . is actually the trailing dot, ie '.com.'. The top-level zone in DNS, that all other records are part of is simply '.'. It's assumed, and not normally written with a domain name (anyone working with bind sees this constantly)
The dot in.com is not separable from the domain.. as every domain begins with a dot and ends in... whatever..

Actually, it's not the shuttles instruments at all.
Linux was employed on a microgravity experiment.
These 'experiments' exist in a sealed box, or some such thing, not connected directly to the shuttle in any way (perhaps forpower).
They simply used linux as a controlling OS for an experiment, and placed it on a shuttle.

Domains were never meant as the be-all-end-all of directory services. They were meant to make IP address management easier.
.com, .net, and .org, what makes anyone think they would do better with .shop?
The current situation is just fine. NSI blew it with

He's describing the behavior of the registry, not of the root-servers themselves... what gives?
The root servers run bind, and server out names. Period.
The registry facilities (internic, formerly) are on a totally different system.

You are correct. .com is not separable from .com.. it's all one zone. just as the trailing dot is a zone.

judge: ignorance is no excuse. It is every man's duty to understand and obey the law.
