The Pentagon and WTC all have no-fly-zones, and look how that went... If no-one cares that several big passenger planes takes a 180 mid-flight and heads straight for said no-fly-zone with the transponder off and no radio contact, how can we (or _you_ since I don't live in the US) expect that a small Cessna or similar plane flying below radar coverage, carrying a small bomb, won't make it to it's destination? A nice destination would be the spent-fuel rod storage facilities at Indian Point or another plant... Blowing the wall up, releasing the water. Instant overheating and subsequent fire, which would last a long time and contaminate a rather large area, possibly killing tens of thousands of people.
Good point, and what I think is the major reason for insecure PHP code is that many PHP users come from the Windows world.
An average Windows user has no concept of filesystem / application security (as far as I have observed), and are generally less interested in reading lots of docs. People who start coding PHP with prior Linux experience I think are much more concerned with how to limit users from fucking up the server with malicious form/url input. They've already read lots of information just by learning Linux. If not, how can they have missed it, with all the documentation one has to read when learning Linux from scratch you're bound to come over lots of security info and docs.
I'm coding my first big PHP website system now and take great care in limiting valid user input - because I've read so much about what can be done if you're not careful. Thanks, Linux:)
I just remembered my old Conner 170 MB IDE drive lying in a closet. Its from early 94.
After searching for the jumper settings on the web I configured it an put it in my linux box with an ATA-33 controller and it worked. No stick, and all the data could be retrieved.
Its not ten years old, but I had the advantage that the MB still use the 40-pin flat cables.
What when all MB have only got Serial ATA, or some other new tech, and you cant even physically plug it in?
Both of these events have happened to me and I must say that DLT tapes are a hell of a lot more rugged when it comes to meetings with concrete floors from a meter-high drop:)
The DLTs I dropped at work (a 12-DLT high stack which were in their covers) worked fine afterwards, but the hard drive I dropped once opened up from the hit and spilled its guts everywhere (granted, the fall was a bit higher - down the stairs from the second to the first floor - hard stone stairs at that).
And what about us that actually uses DVD recorders for what they were made for - backing up lots of data _and_ making our own DVD movies (or Jpop music video collections in my case hehe)
I can't wait for the inevitable Microsoft(tm) version to come out, that only makes Tea, and Hot Chocolate, and with a fixed amount of sugar and milk.
No, thats the Apple version. With the Microsoft one you can get any choice of coffee whatsoever. However if you choose pure Java, it will add misc molecules which do not belong there. Or if you choose anything at all the coffee pot will break before the coffees finished.
Some guys at a norwegian radio station did something like this on purpose. They got the producer to decrease the volume bit by bit, so everyone was turning up the volume to hear what they was saying.
After a couple of minutes everything was almost completely silent - until they cranked up the volume and shouted "BAH" and started some (really loud) music.
This isn't a renderfarm node, it'd be a workstation. That's the thing you do your modelling work on.
Yeah. And you never run test renders on a workstation. Ever. No, you send everything to PRMan at once to make the finished render.
RAM might need addressing, but then again if you make a specialized modelling suite (or adapt one), you should be able to work within the given constraints. (Remember, you can stream geometry and textures as you're rendering; keeping everything in RAM isn't necessary.)
32 MB RAM is _nothing_ for 3D graphics workstation use. One may be able to create a small low-poly model of some sort as well as fit the 3d program in RAM, but if you have ever worked with 3D projects of some size you'd know how easy a model suddenly becomes large in size, 40 MB or more is not unusual. And that's only the wireframe, textures have to be stored in main RAM or video RAM while you preview the shaded/textured model and when it's rendering.
That's not to say the PS2 (or at least the emotion engine) has no potential, Sony was (or is) working on a 3D/graphics visualizer (not a workstation, but a machine for previewing 3D graphics in real-time, full-resolution) based on the PS2 CPUs, called GSCube (link).
Yeah and Renderman can only render... you'll need advanced software like Maya or Softimage, or at least 3DS MAX to pull off animation with decent quality...
And a rendering cluster for $1000? How long do you think rendering will take on that one?
That said, I and some friends are working on a short for next years Gathering LAN, and you can do a lot with 3DS MAX, a Pinnacle DC2000 and a good SVHS VCR. But rendering times suck:)
Well you can already order it from Gainax' web page, it's available on DVD with English subtitles. IMHO the best way of viewing Anime, the original Japanese dub usually is so much better than the English Manga Corp. dubbing...

Never utilize? I'd love a cluster for use in 3D rendering, now with my PIII-667 it's soooooo slow rendering PAL resolution (720x576) video... with raytracing and effects, one frame can take an hour to render.
With a cluster of only PII-350's, say about 5-10 machines, it would be hell of a lot faster:)
Imagine a cluster of 50 PIII-1000 machines (drool)!
The technique they're using to input human movement is NOT called rotoscoping! It's "motion capture"!
Rotoscoping in animation is where you shoot a few feet of regular film with regular actors, and then getting the animators to draw over the original film. Examples of this can be seen in "Heavy Metal: The Movie"; where the Corvette is on its way to earth and the B-17 bombers later in the film. Another good example is the scene in the old animated Lord Of The Rings, some orcs (or whatever they're called, I'm no Tolkien fan) run about. It almost looks like real-life footage 'cause it's so dark, but it is animated on top of the live footage.
Motion Capture however is where they attach "glowing" white balls to a person, filming them with a special camera which is connected to a computer which then translates the movement of the balls to the computer generated wireframe of the model to be moved.

I haven't got email on the phone, but I can recieve faxes, get faxes via voicmail, and read my regular email via WAP.
That I don't have mobile email does not mean nobody can get it - Telenor customers can have a mobile email address, which is or something. Works like a charm.
Hell, in Europe every country I know of have agreed that GSM should be standard a long time ago (now there's 3d and 4th generation networks developing, I know that).
All users of GSM phones in Europe can send SMS messages to / from each other, regardless of operator and country. Most telco networks have deals in all other european countries, so if I (a Norwegian) decide to go to Sweden, or the Netherlands, roaming is no problem. When I got to the netherlands, I just selected KPN as the provider and it was all good, I could call everywhere I wanted.
The only problems are with those who use pre-paid subscriptions, in Norway at least they can't use the phone abroad.
The US is really lagging behind in cellphone network technology. But I also understand it's going to cost a lot of money to upgrade the network since you have quite a big country and a lot of different operators:)
When I wanted to learn Linux I bought SuSE 6, but after working with it for some time I found out it was too "easy", by that I mean it was so perfectly laid out - easy to install, nice GUI, etc. - I didn't LEARN enough about Linux.
So I bought Slack 7.1, sat down to work, and now 3 months later my server is configured with everything it needs to run http, mail etc. I've learned a great deal of Bash programming, and Perl is next:)
I've really learned a lot about config files, the filesystem layout, compiling software myself - heck I've even edited source when something didn't work! Tell me how many Redhat newbie ppl does that!
Slackware, i think, really is the learner's distro (and possibly Debian which I found too obscure and just a tad too difficult. Probably can install it now with my extended knowledge, but I'll stick to Slack for as long as it exists).

I haven't had the patience to read the original poem, but this movie sucks.
Also, I spotted this. Can't be good... Scott Speedman? WTF?

But the problem here is being able to read old drives in new systems, not the other way around.

Yeah at least here in Norway it's illegal to buy stolen goods, the buyer must be sure it's not stolen. You can get fines for buying stolen goods...
Since it's much easier for me getting a hold of fansubbed anime instead of real japanese movies, it's great for learning the language too.
However, one can end up sounding like a 15 year old japanese schoolgirl...

You can find the FuriKuri site under "Works".
I checked AnimeFu, but there's no mentioning FLCL (or FuriKuri) by Gainax.
Surely, you must have seen it? In my meaning it's the best series ever, albeit a little short (6 eps) and extremely w3ird.
I totally agree... i just Love working with those G4 cases...
Anyone know about any companies which make similar PC cases? On which you can flip down one side?
If not I gotta build one on my own. Make it in hardwood or something.
So you have jelly beans from '92 in that thing? yuck!
