A New Kind of War
·
· Score: 1
Speaking of new kinds of war, the following excerpt from the description of the book is terrifying :
Deadly germs sprayed in shopping malls, bomb-lets spewing anthrax spores over battlefields, tiny vials of plague scattered in Times Square -- these are the poor man's hydrogen bombs, hideous weapons of mass destruction that can be made in a simple laboratory.
I drove the 10 minutes to get home so I could watch CNN and keep up better with what was happening.
Why is everyone complaining about the difficulty to get to news when there is a 100 year old rock solid media designed exactly for that : the radio. Besides the desire to see the towers burning, I don't get the point of wanting to go on the internet news sites for such a matter. Of course, email and IM are great tools, no doubt but the web... seems inadequate.
In poor countries like Afghanistan where TV and internet are prohibited by the talibans, the population was hearing the news on the bbc.
The radio is cheap, ubiquitous, solid and so someone HAS to explain me why you all rushed on the web.
1. It's a violation of my privacy. In the country I live, it is illegal to collect and use information about individuals without notifying them and let them correct the info.
2. It hides non-spam messages. As spammers do not mark they messages as advertisements, it is sometimes difficult to spot real email among a list of spam email.
3. It forces me to hide. I cannot use my email on usenet, on the web. I have to use tricks when I have to give my email, those cost time. Multiple email are mandatory to protect your privacy.
4. There is no limit in the amount of spam email you can receive. As it costs almost nothing to send spam, the number of email you receive can be very impressive and cost you time and money. It is worse if you have multiple emails (work, home, topic1, topic2, school, work2, usenet, mobile phone,...).
5. It can interrupt your work. like said in a previous post.
6. It is a menace for children. Some spam are offensive, illegal or pornographic making the internet a unsafe place in the mind of parents.
7. Spammers hide themselves and forge emails in their messages. You can not answer, complain to their messages.
8. More, as they use a hotmail, yahoo or other email address, these services are sometimes blocked or suffer bad image.
9. Remember that unlike postal advertising, YOU pay for spammers, the whole internet community pays for them.
10. It is illegal, period.

Hello, it is sad that such a supid news post makes such a noise but maybe you could post up real information on mozilla.org about the relase date of mozilla 1.0 .
It has been said before but the stories still get coverage. mozilla quest is WORTH NOTHING. What do you have in your mind slashdot ? STOP those ridicumous post, please !
The compressed air engine designed by engineer Guy Nègre (CQFD Air Solution Sarl) is even better than zero emission as it consume CO2. He calls it negative pollution ! And he is selling plants to build them. Here is some info:

Billions of people can't tell what they think in their countries, are killed, imprisoned without judgement, screwed in their basic human rights for just expressing their opinions. China killed more than 1700 only this year. Now with the information technology, their voice can be heard.
Disagree with you. In our developed countries, we are supposed to be able to write correctly at the age of 12 at max. Whenever I read badly written text from someone I don't know, I therefore suppose he is less educated than that and the CONTENT of what he wrote becomes questionable.
Laurent Garnier released the samples of his track "Greed" on his website and asked for remixes. He received around 250 mixes and choosed 9 or 11 of them that were released. You can purchase them on http://www.musicstack.com/item.cgi?item=5271137&fi nd=greed .
If you were right, I should be dead now given the amount of beer I drank the past years. Hopefully with alcohol, you usually get asleep (read drunk) before attaining dangerous dose. That is not the case with ecstasy and the likes and that is why they are far more dangerous.
This story about three dead in sweden is up in the news everywhere. I read here (french) that the red bull has less caféine than tea (in tea bags) but bouah it's far more disgusting. I drank one 2 years ago and I can still smell the awful breath it gave me. pouah never again even if I can fly.
Other caféine levels:
Red Bull 286 mg/l,
XTC en canette, 300 mg/l,
Smart, 338 mg/l,
Red Devil, 365 mg/l
recommended level in the US 200 mg/l

I agree with your comment : an appropriate test would show results like:
classical music :
1. mp3pro at 256 kbps (encoded with THIS)
2. vorbis at 256 (encoded with THAT)
3. vorbis at 192
4. mp3 at 256
5. wma at 256 (encoded with ANOTHER) ...
12. mp3pro at 64

some mostly voice song:

I think I will do some kind of test for myself, as I know a bunch of artists and composers. Bookmark this comment and come back in a week or two (time to gather them), I will post a url.

It will be fun to see how the worm-writing people will use XP. It could be the decline of m$ in the business market.
Interesting also to see how the ISPs will react to DOS attacks.

Why not open source the code but keeping the filtering rules encrypted ? After all, those rules are not "code".
Progeny, why not just put the source on your servers, have one person coordinating the project and see what happens ?
Also if someone can explain me the differences between NOW and beowulf clustering.

Hi bugmaster
I see no mention on the ximian web site of the evolution license. Is it GPL ? Will it always be open source ? Thanks for the answer.

It's time to be peacefully subversive.
Is there a way to get a PDA without win CE ? But with the secs of an ipaq or a toshiba (I don't want an underpowered palm)

you are right, this shows that the general media I follow are less informative than slashdot !
and the results were pretty good. See my other post.
