Detect this? A single html page can cause 20 DNS requests; I think you would have a very hard time detecting high DNS load. Also, you can't block DNS requests without blocking web browsing, which might upset a few people on your net.
DNS requests aren't logged (too much traffic), and can't do auth because the overhead would be huge. This provides a very effective gateway to steal resources of DNS servers for non-intended purposes.
The worst part of this is that to do anything substantial (like the Knoppix example) that you have to load down a LOT of DNS servers. History shows that once something can be done, it will be done. Email has been made costly and unreliable by spammers, now DNS will be made costly and unreliable by file-sharers.
...except that think tanks aren't journalists. All of their "articles" are sponsored. Generally they write research for a corporation who then trumpets the results in advertising campaigns. Look at JD Power in the car biz. In this case, the corporation is staying behind the scenes and letting the front men take the heat.
Actually, you have to consent to install their software. Its the "I agree" button at the bottom of the 2000-word license that you carefully read. Spyware would be putting it on your computer by using an exploit.
As for free speech, their claim is that delivering context-based ads is speech, which seems kind of a stretch. I guess they must mean "free as in beer".
SPF should be checking envelope MAIL FROM, not From: header. If your bank is forging the envelope, then you should block them, since their software is borken.
A while back, I was at a fair where the guy had speeds written in pencil on the chips he was selling. He had tested the max speed they would run and sold them accordingly, even though they were all marked as slower parts. But he was upfront about what he was doing and that there was no guarantee. His "test" consisted of bringing up Word and some game. I thought it was a reasonable value-add. Intel evidently doesn't.
True. Some of my best managers have been non-technical. One guy had no clue, but he knew how to organize and keep a punchlist. We told him what we needed and he wrote it down. My worst manager thought he could do everything better than the people in the group. He drove away some of our best engineers. Finally, he left and went to Microsoft where he has thrived.
Actually, it was two programs earlier. Mercury put John Glenn in orbit. Total program cost around $275 M. Pretty cheap considering the technology available, and probably comparable to what it would cost Scaled Composites to do, given their $20 M to get to 100 km. Gemini put multiple people up. Apollo made it to lunar orbit and had golfing vacations.
Exactly. A good game design is a lot more than programming. I think having women in the up-front spec stage and the testing stage would have a lot greater effect on the result than in coding.
I, for one, would love to see games designed for other than teen males. Most games look like the same hack/slash/shoot/burn your way into a building cliche. I pretty much just buy games when a new Final Fantasy or Myst title comes out.
Hey its "The Tempest" with a few changes. Shakespeare would have loved Leslie Nielsen.
Morpheus, a remake is approaching from the South Monsters! Monsters from the studio! My poor Krell. Countless centuries of civilization ruined by J Lo and Ben Affleck.
Obviously motion picture cameras should be banned, since they can be used to violate copyrights. Likewise, recording studios can be used to illegally make copies of music. I'm sure the RIAA and MPAA wouldn't mind a little inconvenience to shut down the blatent abuses.
Hey, Boss, we're going to do all the development work needed to create the product, then we're going to pitch it, take what we've learned and start over.
Sounds fishy. I can't imagine Compaq caring what a customer would say on any topic. Their hardware used to be non-standard to lock out cheap competition. Now that they are part of HP, they are of course, completely customer-focused **cough**.
Model? Link? Was this an iPaq? Why would you buy one?
Actually, History channel had a show about Liberty ships breaking in half due to weld problems. The patch was a huge metal band riveted along each side of the ship. I think they two bands were called "Service Pack 2" but I could be mistaken.
GSM alone can be used to track to 1-cell granularity. There are a number of GSM tracking programs available. Using arrival times in each cell, an ETA prediction could be made fairly accurately.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I think you're full of hot air. Costs will balloon, profits will float away, and resources will be stretched too tight. Greenspan is predicting renewed inflation, which will cause investors to gasp for breath. I expect this project to be strung along until it hits a snag, then its finished.
Presumeably the poster was asking about fibre channel. For an 8-node cluster, FC can support pretty high bandwidth, but so can GbE using SMB or even iSCSI. Also, GbE switches are cheap compared to fibre SANs.
Drives in their default configuration will not complete a write until it is on disk. You usually have to enable write caching with software. This shouldn't be done except if you have a UPS (or you really know what you're doing). 16MB pseudo-static RAM is one chip, so its not like you save anything making it smaller.
someone needs to start a project site to add GUI's for every single configurable thing that happens in linux.
There is. Its called webmin If you have ever used AIX, you know how every admin task runs under smit. Webmin is an attempt to do the same thing on Linux, but only with web access. (smit provides dumb terminal, PDA and GUI modes as well).
It is a good user interface idea, because it mimics what you want to do in the real world, which is to pick something up and physically move it to another computer. And it hides the details of how it works.
The problem with inflicting this on the non-technical users is that its not universally supported. Then you will have people picking things up and trying to drop on a non-networked laptop, or a non-supported platform. Frustration ensues, since the target device will not give any feedback.
WERS - Emerson college radio 88.9 in Boston. They play stuff that I have heard nowhere else. I may like it, or I may hate it, but its always different from the CC stations.
Except that there are no legitimate companies spamming. A while back, Norton had to post a disclaimer on their website. All of that cheap NAV stuff being offerred was illegal copies, not really from Norton. Most of the other offers that use real company names are scams. For example, the discount Windows offers.

Linking to Bugzilla from /. isn't allowed. They list a workaround, which is:
Edit->Preferences-> HTTP Networking/Proxy Connection Options
If your proxy isn't 100% HTTP1.1 compatible, make sure that pref is set to HTTP1.0.
That's it!

I saw this in the change log:
Photon speed improvements (Change 1937, 2037)
and I was wondering how they did that.

well, there might be another choice.
