Bull FUCKING shit you stupid OSS faggot. Why does anything have to have the GPL cancer applied to it before you stupid cockfucks will even use it? OH NOES SOMEONE IS MAKING MONEY FROM THIS!!111 I MUST HATE IT111!! God I fucking hate you, I hope you choke on a fucking exhaust pipe
Is that you Mr Gates?
Ya know the doctor said you shouldnt drink and post:)
I know a number of devices in my house use standby, VCR's, DVD players, Microwave ovens - anything that sits there waiting for a Remote signal to go into full *ON* mode is drawing a trickle charge of some sort, hell - most modern PC's sit in Standby mode of some sort when theyre powered off but still connected to the mains and not physically switched off at the back. The older PC's with the full voltage switch (AT power vs the newer low voltage triggered ATX) - Wake on Lan draws current continuously from the PSU even when powered *OFF*.
Why not just build something with built in hardware emulation? like the PS2 does with PS1 games - i know its not 100% but it makes sense to do it this way doesnt it?
There can be no argument, cave wall wins - bah people talk about DLT and Harddisks and floppies.. all amature stuff!!
Think about it.. cave wall paintings have survived thousands of years, and in alot of cases, survived with only minor data loss (bat shit, wind, rain etc)
And I now your thinking, what about offsite storage/backup (Incase something happens to my cave) No problem, just find another cave and paint away!
Now, to write an export script to convert my Word and Open Office documents into cave wall format!!
Sure you laugh, LAUGH ALL YOU WANT, I'll have my cave when the magnetic and optical world falls!:)
I'd almost choose this to replace my present gateway but I dont see SNMP in it anywhere?!
I mean, even the cheaper basic ADSL modems have it which is useful for graphing your traffic load or in my case for my custom script to collect the current IP address from the PPPoE interface (for use with home brewed nsupdate dynamic IP's and the like)
First think I thought of when I saw the title was COOL!!! REAL LIFE JAWS!!!
One of these babys on remote control and I could have some real fun at the beach!!
Course this is slashdot, and many a slashdotter has never left their house let alone gone to the beach but this could be it folks.. Radio controlled WiFi enabled Robosharks!!
I have one question though, do these guys take Visa or Mastercard?:)
This is one of the reasons I chose Firefox, its stable, has tabbed browsing and keeps evolving..
The POP Up blocker is already pretty good, so much so that is scares the pants off me just how much crap I miss out on evertime i go to an old Windows box with IE 5 or 6 Vanilla installed.
Kudos to the Firefox developers and the community, developing a cross platform browser that was born to rock:)
....the uncontroverted survey evidence established that 69% to 75% of all Betamax owners maintain large libraries of off-the-air recordings and that the vast majority of programs in those libraries are copyrighted motion pictures....
News this week: Huge numbers of people flock to eBay to pick up Betamax recorders so they can tape all their P2P content to the format and remain legit:)
Sprocket:Compare this to Forrest Gump. This film was also worked on by ILM. And, in fact, the movie won numerous awards for visual effects (to include 1995's Oscar). Yet it's very easy to forget... or not even realize... how much visual effects and specifically CGI is going on in the movie.
I agree totally on this, I think the best special effects (CGI or otherwise) are those that either you dont notice or those that contribute to the scene, not take away.
This is true to alot of the parts in the Lord Of the Rings trilogy, the effects were there when required, not all the time for glitz value, that said I'm sure alot of shots were "money" shots:)
SA Stevens: "I, personally, liked CP/M and even have a machine here that still runs it. I am not so deluded that I think it is 'technically superior' for some reason, to an OS that evolved after it and had much more application support."
Agreed, My first experience with CPM was CPM/86 on a DEC Rainbow 100 back in the early 80s, this machine also ran MSDOS 2.1 - Always liked the CPM environment better:)
changing between user modes was a clean way of filing (although unsutiable for todays apps) Imagien trying to remember your mp3's are stored in user 32642 - That'd drive me nuts!!!
Indeed, I remember using NCSA httpd back in the days of slackware 2.0, As i recall Apache was a welcome sight as NCSA httpd had been neglected with regard to updates (if memory serves anyhow, it was a long time ago on a 486sx25 far far away)
Slashdot Mirror
We moved from Exchange to Lotus Domino/Notes at work after Exchange buried itself several times.
:)
Not to mention that Notes works on Linux, Windows and Mac
Blah.
215 years eh? Thats gonna be some serious royalties!
So does this mean I can download Falco's stuff without legal issues now? :)
Home theatre? Is it even possible with Betamax?
I've already opened Java
And I can tell you the lid reads "WARNING: HOT CONTENTS"
The original poster has farty pants!
And on that note, my work as an adult is done
I can see this story bringing out the conspiracy theory trolls for sure :)

Add SNMP and this would be a killer product.
