  2. CNN == AOL != PCWORLD on 20 Factors That Will Change PCs In 2002 · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I just finished this story in PCWorld during my after Christmas boweling.
    It's probably best to combine a few of these to get some really cool techo ideas. For example:
    Cross Peer-to-peer networking with Tireless wireless: 802.11 networks. Now every you're at that Nascar BBQ, you could be getting the latest Tim and Willy CD.

    Or

    Guided by voices: Voice portals combined with May we see some ID, please: The electronic wallet, so retailers have to yell at my butt to get my money.

  3. The Blue Nowhere on FBI, Pentagon Talk to MS about XP Hole · · Score: 1
    Holy crap! I just download a free e-book from Microsoft.com/reader for their MSReader program. It was called the Blue Nowhere ISBN: 0684871270. I just finished it about 2 hours ago.

    Basically the story was about a hacker Wizard(not lotr type) who could root your system whenever you went online, and you wouldn't be aware of it. This guy would then use info from your computer to kill you.

    Now I here XP can give up System control simply by having you go online!

  11. Back the truck up! on WIPO Dispute Decisions Contestable In U.S. Courts · · Score: 2, Informative
    This only affect international disputes, say those in Canada.

    To quote: "federal courts have jurisdiction over international domain name disputes".

    This still won't take all the power away from WIPO and ICANN that it needs, but it's a step towards better arbitration. Domain names are not trademarks!

  12. Re:could work for the holodeck... on Electronic Paper · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Can you imagine rolling up a 61" projector screen from COM to COM, it only weighing three pounds and using a nickel of energy? That's what this "paper" can do.

    You can have windowless cars that are completely safe because the inside can be plastered with Closed Circuit pictures of what's outside. Heck, imagine walking to your door and being able to look at whose standing there, without them being able to look in, because your door has a sheet of this paper on it.

    Of course, take it a step further. You can folder this paper, imagine now that you mold it to someone's face, where it as a mask, and used a computer controlled face to impersonate someone.

    There some picture from the developers here

  13. At least the can get their's on Fair Domain-Dispute Arbitration Firm Quits the Business · · Score: 4, Insightful

    eResolution v. eResolution.com There is nothing in the spirit or substance of American law that could ever justify the expropriation of one person's rightful property in order to transfer ownership to some other person, based on the argument that the original owner had not yet "done anything" with his property other than simply holding it, whereas the other person has intentions and/or plans to put that property to some commercial use.

  17. They're not taking the wires are they? on @Home Network Approaching Shutdown · · Score: 1

    The infrastructure will still be there, it's just a matter of forcing Excite to give up access to it so that the cable companies can run they're own ISP off the lines. I've never written to my Senator before today (and there sure are better things for me to write about), but these kind of bad business decisions irritate me.

    They had a great product, but decided to add all this extra crap that no one uses (has anyone been to Excite.com or home.net before the Chpt 11 filing was annouced?)

    Even so, I know I set my VCR to record it every week. Heck, I had MLB world series recorded. Whether I'm stuck in the library or out celebrating finishing the term paper with my good friend Jack D. I'll be sure to catch the episode one way or another.

    I had to work tonight and wasn't able to catch the Family Guy, but you'd be damn sure to find me watching it as soon as I get off work. Heck, I don't even have a Tivo.

    Return To Castle Wolfenstein Linux Binary Released - Tuesday Nov 27 23:30:38 2001 - Updated by Michael

    id Software has released the multiplayer Linux binary for Return To Castle Wolfenstein. The announcement was made in Christian Antkow's .plan file. Big ups to Timothee Besset. The 4.57M download is available at:

    ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/wolf/linux/wolfmp -linux-1.0.b2.x86.run.

    Disclosure: I am an employee of Activision, Inc.

    Here are the install notes:

    This setup will install the linux binaries for Wolfenstein Multiplayer in /usr/local/games/wolfenstein (or any other location you request). It WON'T INSTALL ALL THE FILES REQUIRED TO RUN WOLFENSTEIN MULTIPLAYER. You will need to manually copy a number of files to the /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main directory.

    From a win32 Wolfenstein installation, copy the following files to your /usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main directory:

    63211149 Nov 13 22:14 mp_pak0.pk3
    4449596 Nov 13 13:45 mp_pak1.pk3

    ENTERING THE CD-KEY:

    The first time you run the game, you will need to go to 'Options', and click on 'Enter CD Key' button. Enter the CD key (it's on your CD Jewel case).

    NOTE: you don't need to give a CD key if you are installing a dedicated server.

    SINGLE PLAYER:

    This release doesn't contain the single player binaries of the game. The menu command to switch to single player is present in the interface, but it is completely inoperant.

    Useful files in this installation:

    - see CHANGES for a summary of wolfenstein linux changes
    - see QUICKSTART for quick instructions to configure your dedicated server

    Umm, yes
    Although, I will say being able to run Doom on anything simply rules. It's one of my favorite games of all time. I remember typing in the code for my TI-85 (cuz I broke my uplink when I dropped it) and playing it in Math class. I wish those things had IR ports for LAN parties. I wonder if someone would be able to somehow port it into a Lego Mindstorms hack?
