You think that's amazing. I'm in Cumberland now, been reading Slashdot forever. I'm totally wacked out.
Not to mention the fact that the company I work for is the one providing some of the tower sites for this project, and I at one time interviewed with the Allconet (BoE).
I don't know about lack of broadband, I have 3Mbps (wireless) to my house.:)
So what does this have a big assed shift light, even though you're driving an automatic transmission? There are enough "riced" out cars around now. Leave the computers alone. This in no way adds performance.
Add a turbo or nitrous oxide, overclock or supercool. Not these useless mods.
P.S. It is RPM, not RPMs, and expecially not RPM's.
If you replace the openssl while SSH is running it will detect the version change and kill all running sshd sessions. Then you'll have a half installed openssl and not be able to start sshd.
It does seem that trend with patents is take some existing technology and "web enable" it. The other technique for coming up with new patents is to tie it to a database.
Ooo, looking over thier list it doesn't seem they have a patent on "Force feedback with a database backend." I call dibs.
I didn't see the exact patent numbers that were supposedly infringed on. Looking at Immersion's patents, it seems they are for real force feedback. Like making a controller harder to push when you are up against a wall. Not the nerve killing vibrations of the current console controllers. Microsoft did make a true force feedback joystick for the PC though.
Well it isn't a software patent, and the suit is against two big corps we love to hate. But if they are claiming a patent on a vibrating controller, I think there may be prior art.
Oh, one more thing. What happens with companines like Logitech (who also made a true force feedback joystick) that licensed the technology, if the patent is declared invalid. Can they sue for the license fees that they paid?
Well if they had just been captures of what was in the frame buffer, what proof would there be that it was really running on an x86 machine? They could have just fired up an Amiga and did the screen captures.
I know what AmigaOS looks like anyway, this is more interesting.
Exactly. I use DAT frequently. What he should have been asking is if we remember, DCC. I do, but I bet a lot of people never heard of it.
DCC (Digital Compact Cassette), was a single sided cassette that was the same size as a standard analog cassette, and players could play the old tapes too. I never actually saw a player, or any media.
I see this D-VHS as almost a perfect analog (pun intended) to DCC.
Yes, you can bet that TiVo will charge for their service. That is what they are selling.
If you just want to record TV shows that you know are being shown, just use a VCR. If you like the "pause live TV" and other features like that, there are PVRs that don't have a subscription service.
All new TiVo equipment will require a subscription to function. I don't mind, that is what I bought mine to do. I like how it just finds when my favorite shows are on and records them for me.
I thought it was more like, if you built a test that looked for properties of a green alien, and had your neighbor walk though it, you would find a green alien. The same goes if the test was modified to detect blue aliens, and you had your neighbor go though it again, you would then find a blue alien.
The trick is to come up with a test that finds your neighbor being a green and blue alien at the same time.
So get a TI-89. Looks like the rest of the boring TI series, no QWERTY keyboard, so it can be used on the SATs (I think that is the main reason TI made it). But still has the fuctions and can run the programs of the 92.
Maybe if I had an 89 in HS, I might have gone past Geometry (Algebra II was before that, had part I in middle school). Those same overworked, undermotivated teachers made me hate math so much. If I had the ability to automate away the 2 hours of homework each night, I might have stuck around to see what Trig and Calc held for me. As it was, I didn't get those until college.
If you ask nicely the TI-92+ will tell you where two lines intersect.
If I were still in school, I'd have to have one. I got a 92, and then the + module when it came out.
The TI-89/92 series are very powerful (sorry no native RPN, but you can always download a program) calculators if you take the time to learn to use them.
Here I am following up to myself, after I have thought about it.
First I wanted to say, that I don't over clock my machines, if that wasn't obvious from my first post.
What I do though is always add lots of performance parts to my computers. I fore go the built in IDE controller and throw in a U160 SCSI. SCA-2 hot swap drive bays, max out the ram, fill all the slots. Basicly allow the computer to see its full potential.
I see that as more like what I end up doing to my car.
That is what I can't figure out about myself. I'm a computer guy, have been since I was 6 years old.
Only now am I getting into cars. But with in a year of getting my dream car, I've got a freer flowing exhaust, cone filter in place of the restrictive air box, and now I'm looking at a full turbo upgrade.
But with a big turbo comes more heat. Both in the intake charge and under hood in general. So I've got to look at cooling solutions for my car.
I read in a Popular Science magizine a long time ago, that someone was theorizing that our feet and palms would sweat when we got nervose to improve our traction if we had to take flight.
Maybe this responce was better suited to natural services like dirt, leaves, and grass, than todays PVCs.
So maybe mouse makers could come up with some other materials that work hand in hand with our flight responce and stick better when wet.
On the same token, why bother to discuss the plot since everyone knows it?

I do exactly this too. To save time I just made a wildcard alias so when I sign up, I can just make an e-mail address up on the spot without having to go and explicitly declare it. Then if I start getting spam, I can kill that one address as you said.
I've only had this problem once, but one "Lolitas and Little Boys" (gah!) spammer figured everyone at my domain would want their trash, so the dictionary attacted my mail server. I woke in the morning to find serveral thousand e-mails. It was strange some of the had addresses like alt.binaries.pictures.(stuff)@mydomain.com. I don't know what they were thinking. Oh, I know they weren't.
Freaking morons.
(I now have rules in place to stop this sort of thing.)
With the last article about spam that ran on Slashdot. I saw someone mention spamcop. I knew of the service, but never really checked it out before.
After reading most everything on their site, I figured I'd sign up for their pay filter service. Not really to stop the spam (that is just a nice added benifit), but just for ease of reporting the spammers.
Since signing up spamcop has probally stopped around 50 spams to me a day. Still about 5 a day slip through (and perhaps 1 false positive a day). I have reported all of the spam. I think I've recieved about 8 responces total to my reports, and I keep getting spam from the same places.
I'm pretty impressed with the service. At $0.50 a megabyte it isn't too expencive (but I shouldn't have to pay to not recieve e-mail). They are planning on going to a flat rate of $3 a month (which will be good for me as they estimate I'll be paying about $7 a month at my current rate).
Anyway, check it out if you haven't before, www.spamcop.net. At least report some of the spam you get using their free service to help build a bigger data base of open relays and other bad Internet company.

Actually looks like they are holding up pretty well. They have quite a bit of bandwidth going into that place now.

They still haven't fixed their site?
I cancled my card because I could no longer make online payments after I dropped Communicator from my machine.
A little late to reply, but just incase anyone looks.
Older versions of OpenSSH didn't have this security feature. You probally will run into it every time now.
So what does this have a big assed shift light, even though you're driving an automatic transmission? There are enough "riced" out cars around now. Leave the computers alone. This in no way adds performance.

You don't want to upgrade the SSL libs remotely.
Don't ask how I know.

What do you mean, "still won't"? They used to, but dropped support going into Windows 2000.
I had NT 3.51 running on a PPC machine.
JVC, Panasonic, and Sony all make these, just look around.

burning it onto a second CD for them (and charging them a fee for costs)
With those said costs being lower than here because they don't have a regime controlling the licencing and production of optical media.
That is what I can't figure out about myself. I'm a computer guy, have been since I was 6 years old.
Only now am I getting into cars. But with in a year of getting my dream car, I've got a freer flowing exhaust, cone filter in place of the restrictive air box, and now I'm looking at a full turbo upgrade.
But with a big turbo comes more heat. Both in the intake charge and under hood in general. So I've got to look at cooling solutions for my car.
I wonder if you can use Red Line's Water Wetter with these water cooling kits?
