Wow, are they gonna do this to real trains as well? It would be sort of like a taxi, just plug in your laptop and direct your train to your favorite destination!
OK, bit far fetched, but they did try that sort of thing with a bus: at certain points all passengers could decide wether they wanted to go left, right or straight on. Probably not such a success, never seen it since.
There we are, cruisin' along, and all of the sudden people start putting coins in our way! Luckily, being a miniature monster truck, we can take those babies!
seriously, it looks very cool, but will it actualy *do* something? Will it cary tiny loads etc?
It seems this type of encryption can not be applied to e-mail, since the transmitter and the reciever have to store the random numbers at the same time.
Also, if you want to store a message on your computer, you'll have to either decript it or store the key with it, or it will stay encrypted forever and can not even be decrypted by you yourself.
So, either half of the claims made by Rabin seem false: someone (police, FBI) can either force you to decrypt things or you can not read it yourself anymore. same goes for deleted items: once you (properly delete something, nobody has access to it anymore. Problem is, neither have you. That's not new.
The chain is as strong as it's weakest link. As long as users leave passwords and other stuff lying around the office, the vulnerability of the encription is not code crunching, but simnple snooping around. I can send encrypted mail to a collegue, but everybody will be able to read it, because it is on her screen even when she's not in the room.
It can get as cold as that in the Netherlands, but typically it will not be any colder than -15C (5 F) in mid winter. This year it was hardly any colder than -5C (23 F).
It was done on the building of the faculty of electrical engineering at the Technical University in Delft, The Netherlands some years ago as well. Seems to be a trend in this
Make links to places where they can order their supplies online. Also non-prescription drugs.
I'm a diabetic. Although I can not order insulin online (it is only available on prescription), I can order blood-sugar tests, needles and other supplies at Hermedico in the Netherlands. They send me the stuff in my office and charge it immediately to my health insurance. It is one of the online services which I rely on and the have not let me down yet
If can get some of these services together, not only would you help your patients, you could also use the feature to get more traffic to your site, thus getting more potential new custommers.
The high speed service between the Netherlands and the UK can no longer travel at maximum speed near the coast because the ship produced a so called soliton wave. I wonder wether the fastships also produce soliton waves.
A normal wave has a part which is lower than the waterlevel and a part which is higher. A soliton wave only has the part which is higher than the main water level. It is a "wall" of water traveling across the sea. It can do real damage to the shoreline and f.i. ships it meets, overturning them.
So these soliton waves have devastating effects, although I dont know why. If someone could enlighten me on that part, that would be nice as well.
Still, Linux has made great strides. IDC numbers show Linux becoming the top-selling server OS in terms of licenses in calendar year 2000, surpassing Santa Cruz Operations Inc. (stock: SCOC).
We are selling licences now? So this is how free software is going to make money: the software is free and free, but we sell the licences.
Although the difference may be clear, wisecracks are there to be enjoyed and taking them too seriously is more harmfull to your cause then the wisecrack itself.
If a "GAME OVER" has such effects, it makes gaming a lot more fun. SOrt of a strategy adventure, really. Being a good sport, I congratulate DirectTV on their win in this game, but I do think a lot of people will select "start a new game"...
Will the Itanium 4 be able to run as fast as an Intel 4004 ?
This is out of line. A lot of very intelligent, very highly trained engineers spent years working on the Itanium,
and all you can do make cheap jokes about its speed based on benchmarks for tasks that it wasn't even
designed for? Can your Pentium 4 even run 64-bit programs? No? Then please show a little intelligence and
respect by not posting stupid jokes like this.
This is out of line. A very intelligent, very highly trained comedian spent years working on this joke, and all you can do make cheap serious comments about it based on an insult that it wasn't even designed for?

For that ammount of money, you could have some serious computing power by running multiple processors. It may be good, but it'll have to drop in price a lot before it becomes an alternative to me.

The thing I really hope for is that the release will lower teh price of the current Ipaq, so I'll be able to buy that one.

So we stick with toys.
We ar going zhou launch zhee experiment. Da, push zhee red button, Vladimir. No! Njet zhat red button!

Hi! We're Linux Jewellery, so we sell BSD stuff. (???)

ok, next time i'll add tags. Of course you're right

Mmm. In Europe that would be considered nice and warm. Celsius, my hero!
OK, if this doesn't show they were productive and do other things than just sue other companies, what does?
COREL, SUN, what's the difference?
SUN is really putting that reply in perspective now. Read it again and the whole thing sounds a bit less profound.
The man is actually called Humble. Quite some name to be making such bold statements

...you can now go online and order a pizza!
It may take a while to get delivered though..
