Add this to your apache config:
ServerTokens Prod
To change your server string from something like "Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4..." to just "Apache". It doesn't hide the fact that you are running apache, but since half of the internet is running it anyway, it doesn't really matter.
And why do you assume the towers will be so far apart that service will be entirely lost and not just degraded if a PC fails?
Because according to the article (as well as the writeup for this topic), they are targeted for rural communities, wehere by definition the towers will be so far apart that service will be entirely lost for that area because there will not be another tower close enough to pick up the slack....
The general public doesn't really have a clue what this means, so they will not become angry about it. This is the same general public that doesn't understand the problem with Verisign's SiteFinder. This only upsets people "in the know" (software developers, open-source projects, etc.) As long as the general public still has access to their beloved MS Windows, MS Office, and anything else that is written by a company that can afford the legal fees to sue smaller companies that can't afford to go to court, they will not know the difference.
I can understand the benefit of opening 0xx and 1xx area codes and exchanges, however it doesn't seem to be any advantage unless *all* telephone switches (CLEC's, ILEC's, PBX's, consumer equipment/software, etc.) were reprogrammed to recognize it as a valid number (so that they could route calls to NY), and that means that *all* phone switches would need to support it locally as well. That would prbably force us to move to 11 digit dialing nation-wide.
Okay... Say they do manage to create a vacuum that actually works. And say they do create tubes and cars that don't rupture. And say they can build secure enough airlocks to handle the tremendous vacuum. And say they do manage to claim enough right-of-way to pull this off...
Exactly how long would it take to pressurize and depressurize an airlock capable of fitting one of these cars in? Not to mention the fact that the car will expand and contract when inside the airlocks. (That is, unless they are made of the same quality materials that nuclear subs are.) Passengers will probably feel that pressure gradient. Also, if you have to wait 5 minutes for the air to be evacuated out of the airlock, then accelerate, travel, decelerate, and then wait 5 more minutes for the airlock at other station to be filled with air again, most shorter trips would be faster by bicycle. Currently, subway trains are usually pull into the station, unload, reload, and pull out of the station withina couple of minutes. To be more efficient than existing subway systems, there will need to be either a large number of trains per hour, or a large number of cars per train (or both).
According to one of the images, each pixel contains a number of red, green, and blue elements (in their graphics they show 12 elements for each subpixel, but it could be more or less). That allows for a certain amount of gradient, maybe even up to full 24 or 32 bit color.
Not really, because all your web browser does is convert the long number into an IP address. If the IP is filtered, then all connections to it will be blocked regardless of how you try to get to it.
No, they are in the virus repair business, not the virus prevention business. Just like hospitals are in the health care business, not the health cure business...
So basically, you are going to ask someone (most likely a computer illiterate user) who already doesn't bother to verify the letters in a URL to now compare the hostname to the IP address?
I think that the market for these engines is not your average Chicago to New York flights, but your New York to Paris/Sydney/Hong Kong/Tokyo/[insert your favorite overseas city here] type of flights, i.e., those flights that are already over about 6 hours (closer to 10+ hours) with conventional aircraft. They have to be on those longer flights because they have to fly so high up before going supersonic to avoid having the shockwaves shatter every pane of glass from New York to Los Angeles. Besides, you can't just take off at mach 1 (much less mach 7.1); that would be kind of dangerous if you weren't in a space-shuttle quality harness...
Go to university for high-speed access? (And while we're on education, can we have some decent grammar...) Um, what happens when you graduate, get a job, and get out into the real world? That 100Mbps connection doesn't follow you wherever you go...
And who needs broadband, you ask? I do. I build web sites for a living, so it's kind of important that I have a high speed connection for work.
Also, my cable modem's uploads are capped at 256kbps, not 128kbps, and my downloads have exceeded 2Mbps...
Anyway, when I was in school we didn't have 100Mbps, we had 10Mbps. And upload speeds (which happened to be full speed) didn't really matter anyway because our campus network admins blocked incoming connections for security purposes. (i.e., no personal FTP/WWW/game/etc. servers) What good is a fast upload if you have nothing to send and nowhere to send it?
I remember hearing about this on either the Discovery Channel or the Learning Channel a while back. They were talking about using this on cruise ships in fire emergencies. The different types of sounds (ascending vs. descending tones) could be used to tell you if you needed to go up or down the nearest stairwell to find the emergency exit.
I don't get viruses at my work email address, nor do I get them at any of my other email addresses. Apparently no-one deems me worthy enough to (or at least attempt to) infect me with a virus. Does this mean that nobody likes me?
When I rode the bus to a local college several years ago, it would take an hour to ride all the way downtown and back out to another (nearby) suburb, when the direct drive is only 15 minutes... And that was after walking 15 min. to the bus stop. Where I live, the bus system is having a hard time staying afloat. Everyone here drives their own car because most businesses are in the suburbs, and no one wants to wait 10-20 minutes for the bus to come by, sit on the bus for 20+ minutes, wait another 10-20 minutes to transfer to another bus, and ride that bus for another 20+ minutes. Each way. And only on weekdays. (Our bus system doesn't make enough money to run on the weekends...) And the bus routes only cover areas that may be visited by people that don't own cars (i.e., local colleges, malls, downtown, etc.). Anywhere else (i.e., office parks, most larger subdivisions, etc.) requires driving. And when everyone in the city has a morning commute of at least 20 (often 40) minutes, mass transit is not an option for most people. And since I live in a very hilly area (I cross 2 mountains to get to work...), high speed rail and most other forms of mass transit are cost prohibitive and out of the question.
Now what we really need are cars that can take over the driving on interstates, in say, special lanes with positional transponders. Computers can put cars close to each other to reduce drag, increase fuel efficiency, and increase road capacity, without giving up any of the freedom or individuality associated with having your own car.
There are a few problems...
1) What happens when there is road construction? People have a hard enough time as is when roads are detoured, highway lanes are shifted over, or one lane completely disappears from the road. This will need some pretty complex AI to work.
2) Where exactly do we put these extra "auto-drive" lanes? As it stands now, most cities don't have large enough roads for the traffic that is there already, and many are in a constant state of construction. To set up auto-drive lanes, one (or more) lanes have to be set aside for them, pushing everyone else into the other lanes. And what about exit ramps?
3) What happens in an emergengy? Can the car's computer recognize a blowout? What about a blowout in the car in front of it? What about debree in the roadway?
4) How are you going to get people to go for this proposed method of driving? It can only be installed as an option on new cars, and only in cities that have spent the millions to ugrade their interstates to handle them. And this is only after you can convince a driver that it is okay to let go of the wheel...
Also, if "fdisk/mbr" fails (like it did with me), you can "sys" your hard drive from a windows bootdisk. (sys c: a:, I think, you might want to check that first...) You do have a windows bootdisk, don't you? (It is a requirement if you are brave enough to run windows...)
