It is only a tautology if you know what kimchi is. There is no a priori notion of kimchi. If asked, "What is kimchi?" The answer would be: "A Korean delicacy made with spiced, pickled cabbage." Also, does the word "kimchi" translate as "spice, pickled cabbage?"
Delete tcp/ip from the network config and delete all the winsock keys from the registry as well as the dhcp keys. reboot. reinstall the tcp/ip in the network config. reboot. Worky.
Part of my job is to configure students machines for use on a dorm network. Very often we get complaints about service ranging from no connectivity to slow performance. Of course the slowness can be directly attributed to P2P apps and their tendency to hog bandwidth, but Gator and its ilk are notorious in our circles as poorly written programs that not only do all the privacy violation, etc that they should be reviled for, they also have the unique ability to mung Winsock on machines running ME, 98 and 2000. The fix requires a young priest and old priest and a silver sword (read: edit the registry and rebuild the TCP/IP stack). So now when I get a machine with Gator, etc. I edit the system startup to shut it down. Invariably the performance of the machine and its network connectivity rebounds. I don't ask permission to do this as we are not removing the program, but simply preventing having the prolematic software do what it does -- start.
Why not take action against abusive users? You can't do this without treading on the intellectual toes of the people who hold the "University" ideal really high or the whiny little bastards say "We paid for it!" Which in a sense they did.
Which says a lot about the CS department, no? I think that cat's final project (notice no thesis) was using CVS, TFTP and SNMP to back up router configs automatically.
What Telecom fails to recognise is that these people are pushing the envelope of what the Internet can do, and will drive the technology economy in years to come.
Sure. Whatever. But RIGHT NOW these "radicals" have saturated not one but three DS3 at my University, including the Internet 2 link. That's 20000USD a month per. By limiting Kazaa and other Fastrack based P2P's we cut the bandwidth in half. But the ants simply adapt and move to Gnutella. How long did that take? About a week. The only solution RIGHT NOW? Buying an OC12 and the baddest Juniper router out there. Yikes.
Look, I know people who have MASTER'S degrees in CS, who did it simply because they had root on the machines. Cheating in CS is no different from cheating in any other major. The profs are right for being hard asses and I would be damned if I would hire a kid who cheated (if I could prove it). That being said, a university is a place of open discussion of ideas. I question GATech on this and I question their commitment to liberal education.
Listen, Noam Chomsky has been talking about this for years. The contemporary view that most people in power (in America) is that American culture is the end of history. Fukiyama aside, the powers that be are acutally acting this way. Decisions are made regarding foreign policy not with a mind to the future but toward the redemption of history. This is not a peace in any sense of the word. It is a subjugation by economic might. Think of it this way, kids. Microsoft is only a small piece of the puzzle when you start talking trillions of US dollars. The Military Industrial Complex (y'know the guys who really invented the Internet) is the largest corporate entity on the planet. It operates secretly (well, its actions are well known by the people who die from them) and it uses the ruse of peace to feed itself.
The dialogue between the two lowly peasants as they walk away from the opening battle up a road to an uncertain destination is identical in tone and intent to the dialogue between the droids as they walk away from the escape pod in SW:ANH.
Kurosawa was an egotistical jerk (I give you the Tora! Tora! Tora! fiasco) who probably revelled in this, but he was a hell of a director. No one ever filmed rain and horses better. Not even John Ford on the horses. IMHO, Kursosawa's best effort was Dersu Uzala. When we see Lucas stealing long focal length landscape shots from this flick, it will be official: he will be declared a no talent ass clown.
As a rare White multi-lingual American, I have learned how egregiously poor translations can be and have actually changed my entire research because of this.
BTW, knowing Klingon doesn't count as being multi-lingual unless you accept this as fact.
Driver installs, for example, are a lot easier to do because Windows 'stagnates', or as I prefer to call, sticks to its standard.
Fppppt. I think that the real criticism that the Free Software/Open Source makes is that that "standard" is not open and available and that this closed nature is counterproductive to advancement in the IT industry. Microsoft is afraid of the GPL because it thinks, for no particular reason, that it is anti-capitalist. They think can't make money on their product if they incorporate GPL stuff into it because they will have to open other elements. At least this is what they think and one reason they fall onto BSD in a pinch, because the license doesn't pose a threat in their eyes.
Well, I type meself in and nuthin returns. I got 40 hits on Google. Hell, my name is plastered all over the University I work for, so you figure they woulda crawled at least that much. It is slow for such a small database too.
If Microsoft were market-oriented, then they wouldn't have played the rules. Instead they would have kicked the lid off and gone head to head with Sony. But guess what that's not M$ brand of competition. The irony is they used a regulatory body to exert power. Foucault is dancing in the bathhouses of Hell....
The way I attack Microsoft is justified. Everyday of my working life is made miserable by management who listen to the M$ sales pitch, switch to their products, then wonder why it didn't work as well as it did before, when we were using free software. I give you Active Directory....
My favorite: Gosh, we spent so much on Active Directory this year. Now the budget is getting cut and we have to maintain that service. Guess we'll have to lay people off.
That is the Microsoft effect. It does the job poorly and costs you money. You are goddamn right we are bitter.
Why would MS complain about Sony unless they did something to provoke it? MS has employees demonstrating XBOX's, right? What if that was because MS read the rules and decided to bring a bunch of employees down to man the stations, only to find Sony stations unmanned so the public could play. I'd be mad about that. That means MS had to pay more people to come down
This is asinine. If you think that Microsoft was checking the impact on their bottom line at Tradeshow, you are gaga. I think that if you checked the statistical significance of the cose of CeBit on Microsoft as a whole, you would find a number that is, for all intents and purposes, zero. This is gamesmanship, pure and simple. And petty and smarmy.
In fact, DeNiro seems to have made a career (Analyze This, and most recently Meet the Parents), out of laughing at his own tough-guy persona, which is really a shame.
He actually has been doing this for years and did it best in Midnight Run
Every semester we run crack on Unix passwds at my university. Number one: "Princess." Number two: "GoVols.":-) We enforce no dictionary words, etc. now and shut down the offending accounts. We also moved away from Unix based mail to IMAP with a Webmail interface running on SIMS off LDAP. They don't even get Unix accounts anymore unless they ask. Well, excuse me, your worshipfulness!!!!
Any story about killing is cool as long as it involves high-tech gadgetry, which will let/.ers playout their Fantasy/SciFi desires or, at least, let them think they can.
i'm amazed at people's shortsighted insistence that anonymous communication is overrated, and horrified that people want nonrepudiation built into all their communication.
You need to explain how the boss would see that mail. What is wrong with knowing who sent the mail? Wait, is it because you are a fuckhead who likes to say shit you really think, but has to do it anonymously, because you don't have the stones to face up? Most likely....
I know that the dept tag is supposed to be funny, but the real benefit of this research is insight into very powerful propulsion systems. No? Not very sustainable at our current rate but definitely the next step toward reaching deeply into space. Of course, anti-matter engines are waaaaaaaay off, but I think that we should see from the next-stop-Crab-Nebula dept. rather than from the I-frag-way-too-much dept.
I blocked mail on china.com and *.cn addrs and saw 60% drop in spam. Of course, these dudes are wise to this and have started up with *.tw addrs if you really take a close look at the headers tho, you will find a lot of the mail originating from dial-up accounts in European countries as well as Asian countries. Also, the use of unpatched or administered sendmail is also a major contributor. We need certificate based authentication, checksums, etc to really get a handle on this. A previous 'article' mentioned that US based spammers are actually a select few criminals.

Peckerhead. The Vikings travelled across vast stretches of open water with oar ships. You assume the ship was a "junk" also.
Thousand foot wooden ships with a single sail every hundred feet or so were either a remarkable engineering accomplishment or a mariner's nightmare.
Then there are these neat things called "oars."
