It was first mentioned way back on March 25th, and more recently in Slashback. Don't feel dumb though, I submitted the MSNBC story too but only later realized that it had been covered. Still, you'd think a place like Slashdot would give it a bit more press.
I guess that's why it's 'news for geeks' and not 'news for greeks'
A lot of things change in 4 years. What languages should I be coding in? What kind of certifications will employers be looking for in 4 years?
Yes this may sound like a troll, but ask the question when you're a big closer to your deadline. Who knows, four years from now maybe you could be running a laundry-mat from your home.

Reminds me of my days as an army instructor yelling at a young recruits because his rifle was full of communism.
Ahhhh, sweet sweet memories.

He was using VNC and DoC as an example of other applications that can run at 1024x768x256 without being bandwith hogs He wasn't saying they could do the job, only that they didn't hog resources. Don't go taking things outta context.

We use VNC here at work over 10/100 at those specs with no issue whatsoever. Hell, I use IBM's Desktop on Call over a 56k Connection without any fuss. Your issue is a non-issue.
It's the passengers that surf, change mp3s, etc..., not the driver! Are you gonna tell me it's unsafe for kids to read comic books in the back of the station-wagon from Thunder Bay to Regina? Or that movies shouldn't be allowed on planes because they might distract the pilot?
You are a fucked up man living in a fantasy world. Put tons of radioactive waste in a 10acre zone and then leave it unmarked and hope that by obfuscation nobody will find it? Shit you obviously aren't a programmer? If you want to obfuscate it, that's fine, but you don't think various signs, markers etc wouldn't be just a little useful? Fuck if we can put information on satelites that aliens are supposed to understand what makes you think we can't do the same thing for future civilizations? Crushed bodies and tool? I can't believe how stupid you are! Your "nothing is here, nothing is wrong" attitude just sickens me.
You want a solution? Here it is. Make it as difficult as possible to get to the waste (stone, concrete, iron, let engineers call the shots). Then make sure than the place is flooded with signs in various medium (stone, metal, ceramic, you name it), each one depicting the best graphical representation of what danger lies in there....bodies slowly curling up as waves pass through them, animals dead, it's not hard to visualise it. After that if any future civilization is foolish enough to ignore every single sign, and break through all those barriers then those who tresspass deserve what they get for being just as stupid as you are!
I mean for crying out loud! I've seen some stupid stuff posted on Slshdot before, but putting a nuclear bomb at the end of the tunnel and exploding it if anyone passes by? Right next to all those radioactive materials? What kind of moron are you? Holy shit you are dumb! Normally I never rant at this but you deserve a serious kick in the head! What a fucking idiot! Who the hell moded you up??!!!!!
I'm impressed that I can picture everything logicaly in my head, but that's quite a bit of code, interesting as it may be. How big were the teams and how much time did they have?
Yes, junkmail accounts are a great utility, but if your original intent was to read the mail you signed up for (a newsgroup for example) then most likely you would have given your legitimate address, wouldn't you? Now what happens when the guy running that newsgroup changes his mind and sells all those accounts? Sure P3P won't stop him from doing that in a court of law, but if he goes against his publicised word then it help make him look bad. As for changing email accounts every year, it's no different than changing apartments every year:sooner or later you realize that it's your own dang fault that you've lost touch with everyone ad get the urge to settle down.
Exactly how many songs are you planning on listening to at once??
I'll take the bait...
The usb at a snail's pace you are referening to is the transfer rate for copying files onto the drive and has nothing to do with listening to them. You try loading 100gigs with a USB cable...it would be analogous to the days when I used to back up my 1gig laptop using a bi-directional parallel cable.
But are you collecting any information such as email addresses? Even if your current intent is innocuous (email updates), what happens two years down the road when money is getting tight and someone offers to buy that list? Of course P3P isn't going to stop that, but it helps promote privacy as being important in the public's conscience...This is definitely a step up, and not a step down, and shouldn't be poopooed as a tactic against the little guy. It's a tactic for the little guy.
I'm sure it's members would like to know what they have to say about it. How far up the priority list is this one CmdrTaco? And what does Katz have to say about it?
Shucks, the more I think about it the more you're right. But at the same time, it cannot be stressed enough that for/. to succeed in the subscription world, they are going to have to get off their amateur asses and put out something a bit more solid in nature. For me to pull a fast/lazy one at the bottom of an on-topic comment is still fair enough. But next time I promise to include the tags;-) In other news: there's no need to hide behind your anonymous coward style, I don't bite.
now you might have to do without sunlight to be secure!
According to the text it's just the opposite:
In a sufficiently
dark environment and with a large enough sensor aperture, practically significant reception distances are possible.
That's just another reason why I'd rather not subscribe to/. Not only do the editors fail to avoid dupicate stories, those submitting them don't even read them properly.
Once you observe something, you change its state. Maybe we shouldn't be "flooding the fields" with scientists looking at every single variation of every single species. The last thing fragile ecosystems need is an army of scientists trampling through them. Why not keep the pace the same as it currently is? Can we really handle the wealth of information we are already receiving? This sounds more like a well intentioned mission statement to generate some funding.
Slashdot Mirror
Apparently not. Even for the Hubble telescope it's not that easy, and I've got the pictures to prove it.

I don't live far from Lavalounge. If things work out then next time maybe we could repeat my 802.11 from the apartment to the bar! See ya there!
I can't see how this article has anything to do with technology, and the writeup on the mainpage is pretty lame.

two months of code reviews and half-day seminars surpasses everything ever done by the open source community
