Google mentioned recently that they will start revenue sharing for content providers, ie posters, on youtube.
If all it takes to get paid is to copy clips off of tv and then post them on youtube, don't you see a problem? What viacom needs to do is ban all viacom content and then post it themselves, and get the revenue.
John has this for flickr too, and shows the top 100 makes and models. I think he uses the Flickr-API, ie not a scrapper. He says on the page "The lists are generated automatically by periodically sampling the EXIF data from the stream of recent uploads." and I think he hits that stream via the API...
I just got XM in my car. I'm an internet dude. What struck me as I was driving home around 6pm EST was how CNN was covering it, admitted they got infected, and it seemed to remind me of SQL Slammer / Code Red.
Anyway, they kept saying only windows 2000 was affected, but the patch was for pnp on 2000/xp/2003. In a later report CNN did mention it might affect XP too.
This makes me wonder how seriously people (BHPs, IT guys, FireWall guys, etc) take worms. Where I work we have many FWs, push patches very often, and accelerate our pace when things like this are out there. If CNN, ABC, etc, can all get infected does that reveal that they might not take all this PC security seriously enough when it comes to their own networks?
I know we have stepped it up in the past 3 or so years, Code Red, SQL Slammer, and Nimda were all wake-up-calls. Maybe THIS one will make a new set of users/admins/PHBs wake up... We can only hope right? It was front and center on CNN tonight.
If I print anything, even one line of text from notepad, it will print the text, advance the sheet of paper most of the way, print something else you can't really see, then spit out the paper.
I think this is a good test. If you are printing only to the top of the page, and then it appears to spend time printing where you had no text, you've got one of these...
Ok I'll bite. I can send you tons of stuff if you provide an email address...

..was to disable the spell checker in his word processor.
I guess this goes without saying, as the entire article backs up this claim, due to a multitude of spelling errors, including words spelled wrong in multiple ways right next to eachother:
We must shut down this TCP/IP thing immediately. TCP/IP connects millions of computers, and some of them are doing bad things.
You had to see this coming, blame the app/protocol, even thought this one has so many non-infringing uses. Maybe Brame can enlist the help of Charlton Heston. He'd understand.
I have a whirlpool air-purifier, and it has a pre-filter which is a thin "foam" filter like I think you want. They sell at Lowes a roll or large peice that can be cut to size to replace the whirlpool's pre-filter (10 or 20 bucks for 2foot by 2foot approx). I looked on the Lowes site and couldn't find it, but it is in the store's section by the air-filters/air-purifiers.
(forgive the funny subject, I'm refering to tracking the dynamic elements of a piece of code):
I've written some code, and try to visualize how my code will run, stepping through each section in order.
The question I have is, is it still possible for these kernel gurus/hackers to effectively have the kernel and all its nuances inside their head, fully functional at a theoretical/experimental level? Or does development at this point consist of sub groups that are specialized and don't require a level of understanding to 'run the kernel in your head'?? If this is a fantasy of the past due to current complexity, when did the change occur?
It's like friggin ground-hog-day around here. The same "news" reported day after day, as "news".
Maybe I can cut back my reading and just check once a week.
And I know it has been said many many times before, but slashdot needs a way to check for dupes automatically. When it was a couple or few editors, that read the damn site, I'm sure the current system worked better. This just ain't cutting it anymore.
Will someone with the proper coding experience just write the darn module or whatever so that the editors (monkeys) can click a link and get a %likey dupe score or something?
Maybe I'm in the minority but, if I am travelling just about anywhere outside my house, I carry my ID. If your goal is to go out and encounter trouble and have something insignifigant result in "trouble" bc you have no id, well, that could have been avoided.
I guess it is fear that makes me carry ID, fear of dealing with bullshit that an ID would overcome in about 5 seconds.
This reminds me of a stupid story. A friend of Irish decent who lived in New York was visiting myself and family in Maine. We went to buy beer and the cashier asked us all (4 or us, all young 21+ adults) for ID. this girl didn't have any, just "plastic" or a credit card, and we couldnt buy alcohol. We left all the goods unpaid for, and got our stuff elsewhere.
Long story short, carry Id, unless you enjoy hassles, bc I don't.
I don't like sharing my personal information either, however, like you said, you spent time in jail bc you didn't have ID. I guess I'd rather carry ID and skip the jail thing.
When you drive, you are required to have id/license with you.
If I am flying I expect to get ID'd. I don't want someone else impersonating me and taking my flight. I don't want them acting in my name. I'd also expect the security of knowing everyone else on the plane felt comfortable with showing their ID.
While ID alone is not a means for security that is enough to fly and consider yourself 'safe', I think it requires people to step out of the shadows to do their business.
All that said, and I used to fly a few times a year and now I drive instead, haven't flow since 9/11. (trips as far as 550 miles, but nothing cross-country or for work, luckily.)
If the issue here is wanting the law known, revealed, questionable, I agree. If he just doesn't want to produce ID then I don't get it.
I'm sure there are many devices and technology that break the one ip to one dns name, heck even dns breaks that with round-robin addressing...
But as for hardware that can be used to serve two instances of a website, Cisco makes a product called Distributed Director.
From the product description:
Cisco DistributedDirector efficiently distributes Internet services among globally dispersed Internet server sites by leveraging the intelligence built into the Internet router-based infrastructure, standard Domain Name Services (DNS), and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
With DistributedDirector, customers can optimize server load distribution resulting in superior end-to-end server access performance.
I am only mildly familiar with Distributed Director, but it gives different IP answers to DNS queries based on some formulas, one of which can be which ever server farm is considered closer to the client.
In the case of this or a planned outage with DD you can take a site out of the active config (i.e. the down site). DD is for geographically disperse server farms.
Cisco also makes a product called Local Director (both of these may have been replaced with "Intelligent Director" in some part, IDK anymore). LD allows you to balance across web servers for example (in the same server farm).
Also as for a big caching system, most of the time I think the people that are serving something want to be the ones to serve it, directly. Reasons for not using your suggestion could include security, advertising revenue based on traffic stats, etc.
NAV/NIS - I hate them too, with a passion, maybe not as much passion as you, but I HATE THEM. I use avast ( www.avast.com ) - it's free, and WORKS.
I paid for NAV2004 (or whatever) and registered/activated it and it promptly broke, I uninstalled it and guess what? I had to reactivate it and call them on the phone! After not being able to do this bc it was a weekend, I waited on hold for an hour on Monday and promptly gave up in disgust. So I let my pay-version of NAV go unused and instead use Avast now. I tell my friends to use Avast too.
when I see someone in a handicapped spot and see no visible signs of impairment I say to myself "must be a mental handicap" and laugh and go my merry way.
(Twisting your ankle should not mean you get a spot, when they are there for someone with REAL problems/handicaps).
This is one of my pet peaves too. Grrr! Maybe they'll all be bathroom attendants in their next lives.
For the original problem, turning a laptop in to a kvm, I think you're just missing one vital part: something to take video as input from a VGA cable.
Maybe someone could make a pcmcia card that had a dongle with a place to connect another computer's video output. (or USB connected device that did it.)
Then you run something that from 1,000 feet looks like a VMware session that has no running OS, but just does Input/Output to the real pc on the other end of the cables.
Something tells me this is totally doable, with a way to convert the video in... yeah...
Can I skip to the "profit!" step please?
(Since you have a mouse input and kb input, hopefully anyway, you can take male-male cables and cross connect two pcs, the laptop and server)
OK wait, maybe what you need is a little box with Kb/Vid/Ms cables coming from it to the "Server" then a USB cable and some software?
