Weird. I was just looking for exactly the same thing yesterday, and the question just shows up on Slashdot.
Is this part of Slashdot's repetoire of evil powers?
At anyrate, my roommate n' I have just set up a rack we snagged that our University was throwing away. Check it out, here.
Slightly off topic, but I doubt my askslashdot question is going to get published because I just noticed the other day that a similar question was asked a while back. -- so here goes:
Has anyone figured out a way to run multiple displays off a
console linux box? I don't want to run X, I just want to be able to have multiple monitors show different things (logs, top, cmatrix, etc) We've got a pile of old b&w monitors and vid cards and I'd love to put them to use.
I've no real physics background, and my interpretation is most probably missing the point, but the example you mention above might have a use in crypto.
If the particles maintained the same properties, one in New York and one in Moscow, could they be used for one-time pads in crypto?
(Of course, I realize the example is probably just an imaginary situation with no real way to seperate the particles and send them to different places) but dismissing reality(tm), is that a possible random one-time pad generation with only two recipients?
Actually, I read somewhere that it wasn't really his own money. The movie was paid for before production ever even began by the Pepsi/Pizza Hut/Taco Bell/KFC endorsements.
He's not a great man. Delaying DVD releases is just plain evil
Oi. This post may be a little off topic, but education of the masses is important, no?
>But the more I think about it, I really don't mind that these guys are the ones the press run to rather than say CotDC.
Too many people confuse the purposes of cDc (that's lowercase c, uppercase D, lowercase c. Pretty much always has been.) with the purpose of a group like l0pht. cDc is not a software/hardware or even (dare I say it?) a hacking group. cDc is a textfile group. The (supposedly) original eZine. Stuff like BO (which, IIRC was written by a guy that is actually in l0pht as well as cDc) is a side project used to further their goal of Global Domination through Media Saturation. They SHOULDN'T be consulted on hacking/cracking information. Groups like l0pht are what that's all about. Media that consult cDc on these kinds of subjects are just victims of the cDc MediaMindFuck(tm).
The article doesn't actually state that the tech is 3-5 years off, just that they are discussing where the tech will be in 3-5 years. Something like this seems like it would be a little farther off than that.
Still, I'd like to see virtuall unlimited memory before I'm thirty. I wonder how that'd effect programs? No more memory management?
There already is an extension to normal addressbooks for certificates (it's a pretty standard attribute in LDAP) and it would be very simple to include a key attribute in an LDAP entry.
I think it's simple minded to consider all credit cards this way. I've had personal experience w/ MBNA America (the people doing the card) and I've been impressed by it. Aside from the annoying telemarketer factor (which is pretty much doubled since I'm a white male college student)Their customer service has been quick to fix anything that I called in about. When I moved a while back, they messed up on the change of address, and I did not receive my bills for about 5 months. As soon as I realized this (I hadn't actually used the card during that period), I called up and they took care of it right away, taking the deliquent payment off my credit record and removing the 150$ in fees that had accumulated. (Without even talking to a supervisor..)
Credit cards come in handy, if even only for proof of financial accountability.
Well, by this argument, how can you hold warez sites accountable? Most warez sites are filled with re-packaged software by one of the various warez-groups. The site operator has never agreed to any license agreements. Where is the crime in providing streams of 1 and 0's?
I use the all-in-wonder-pro at home as well, it works great. One thing to watch for is scaling -- some TV cards scale horrible, but the all-in-wonder scales to 800x600 (and higher, I think) very well.
My entertainment system in my den is actually just a 19" monitor (I'm a poor college student) w/ at PII 350, the all in wonder for TV and VCR, the creative Dxr 5x DVD (which includes video out on the mpeg decoder card), and a soundblaster live hooked up to a a Dolby ProLogic receiever, some Bose bookshelfs for front and Yamaha for rear + center. Works great for me. I know the SBLive and the DVD will do Dolby Digital, but from what I've heard so far, ProLogic has passable surround at a much cheaper price. (X-Files is broadcast in surround, and it sounds great even through the allinwonderpro)
OH, and someone mentioned a little earlier in the thread about the new version of the all-in-wonder Pro.. I'd like to know how that works out! I've been considering upgrading to one of those and moving my voodoo2 up to my linux box..
They take over a radio station with one of those replica Uzis.. Steve Buscemi makes some comment about how they were banned because they were so realistic looking.
The best reason I can think of for using a 'stealth' mode administration utility is avoiding the phone call. I don't want to disrupt a secretary in the middle of keying in a report. If I can get in, change some.ini files or delete some temporary files without leaving my desk, AND without having to call up the user, stop whatever they were doing and then confuse them by explaining software maitenance, I'm all for it.
Hell, w/ bo2k you could even pop up a message for them to reboot when you get done. I think it's a great program, from a group w/ a slightly odd sense of humour.
cDc as crackers is a joke. "It's allabout style, Jackass."
>>Also, BO hides itself by making it's executables and registry entries look like system files/keys, which makes it a pain should you decide it's time to uninstall. Most legit remote managment tools can be removed with a minimal effort.
Actually, there is a fairly easy way to remove the registry entries w/ bo2k. It's an option when you disconnect from the server, to delete the installation. The bo2k site is very informative, you might actually look at the product before you start making comments on it.

Actually,I think the oldest cDc member (in age, not membership) is someting over 60.
The youngest is 20.
And there's everything in between. For the most part the cDc guys are yer average white twenty-somethings (go figure)..
I don't think it's right to lump all of them together as teenagers with delusions of grandeur, sure, some sort of fit that description (the ones that claim the hacker profile...) but the original guys aren't REALLY like that at all.
They are just some weird guys who released wizardry docs as text files when they were in Jr. High. oh, and some other stuff about rabbits.
Personally I prefer the text file aspect of cDc, the hacker part is a bit silly.
I'm pretty sure sd's email is something along the lines of s_d@cultdeadcow.com or sirdystic@cultdeadcow.com..
I know he's on #cdc(efnet) quite a bit, so you might check there if you want to get a hold of him.
What's highly amusing to me is how seriously people are taking cDc. When was the last time you read any of the cDc text files? cDc was started by a couple of 14-15 yr olds in Lubbock, Texas. Kids who rode BMXs and ran BBS's on their Apple IIes. Now they've got stories on Geraldo and CNN?
I remember seeing a version of Titanic floating around in vivo format. That was actually pretty damn funny because it was an obvious camcorder recording of the movie -- from China. The movie had chinese (I assume) subtitles..
vivo format had it down incredibly small, small enough to fit on a CD, although I can't remember the exact size.. but the vivo format was REALLY bad.
Come to think of it, I've seen the Jerry Springer too hot for TV videos in vivo format too..
Look around your apartment/house/office right now, how many brand name products do you see? Unless you're Omish, you probably have quite a few commercial products lying around. I don't think EDTv has an unusual amount of recognizable products. At one point in the movie, they even make fun of product placement -- where this guy asks Ed what kind of soda he wants, and in the next scene they're moving a Pepsi machine into his apartment. The dinner scene you mention isn't an unlikely or odd situation in the average American household -- How often do you eat fastfood? I personally enjoyed EDTv quite a bit. To say that the product placements kept you from enjoying the movie implies that mayhaps you were paying enough attention to the wrong parts of the movie.
And to fault the film on not taking a hard enough stance on American voyeurism is ridiculous. It's a comedy. It's there to make you laugh. Laugh, go home. Eat EZCheese.

No, but emacs runs it.

Where are we supposed to discuss an article like this, that already has it's own discussion forum?
On Slashdot?
On Zdnet?
I guess it all just ends up on who you want your audience to be (or what your audience's OS is..)
The article doesn't actually state that the tech is 3-5 years off, just that they are discussing where the tech will be in 3-5 years. Something like this seems like it would be a little farther off than that.

Is it just me, or does RIAA seem to be the Devil?
Did RIAA get the idea in their collective head that if they killed the most popular (win32) player they'd be able to catch up with mp3?
