well, I can see a synergy here. Google used to harness the data other people put in the Net. Google uses links to evaluate relevance of pages. Now, blogers are the most active people who are putting their opinion on the web all the time. If Google could make them input more then just links and words, that would gave whole new impulse to PageRank-model. But to do this Google has to introduce new standard tags or something in the blogs. Once they bought Pyra , they can do it!
I kind of knew that, and my question is still: what "netmask 255.255.132.0" is? If you put it in binary, it'll be 11111111 11111111 10000100 00000000 I haven't seen such a mask before:-) Isn't mask suppose to be - all 1's on the left and 0's on the right? As for why Sonic.net is listed as the netblock owner, you are probably right that he contracted somebody out. However ARIN information has nothing to do with his domain name/website, it's just ownership of the IP addresses. I would neet to rephrase my question about IPs: technically how somebody could find out what IPs this guy is using for scanning, if even ARIN does not show it?
I wonder if somebody can explain what "netmask 255.255.132.0" is? May be it's suppose to be: 209.204.130.0 - 209.204.132.0 ? Or may be 209.204.130.0 - 209.204.132.255 ?... and why ARIN shows SONIC.NET and RCN Corporation as owners of those IPs? http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinp ut=209.204.130.0 http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?qu eryinput=209.122.130.0
Please do remember that Europe is far more open to "foreign opinions" then US. In Europe they've been able to overcome country borders and they are trying to be one World. In US -- nah! "One nation under *censored*..." Americans are so proprietary, man. No wonder they are doing not as well as Europeans on Internet, since net is the most diverse communication medium. Americans to Europeans is like Windows to Linux. Yes, this is provacation. I am serious, though.

I used to work for this company.
They use rotating mirror and sensors (or film) statically mounted around. As somebody already mentioned light is very precious resource for those speeds, and cameras are ususaly not designed to work with this small exposure time. Friend of mine developed digital network sensor that can capture ultra fast events (10 ns exposure time, best if used with intensifier, of course). It's actually has been featured on slashdot before (linux inside, sure).
You've got to be careful with statistics. One thing is to say that there is statistical link between playing computer games and being stupid, and other thing is to say that you became stupid because of computer games. It may be other way around: you may be playing games because you are stupid already. Or more probable, there is third factor (like social or something) that makes you stupid and makes you play computer games.
The main reason they are not listening is because it is really hard to estimate
what voters think basing on the pile of snail/e-mails. It's just physically hard
to do.
Now what if mass opinion would be delivered to the representative in a simple
clear form? What if voter could affect this form through a simple procedure?
Imagine this: instead of sending mail you go to the election office, confirm your
identity and got your personal login to the poll system. Then you go to the gov
website and enter your yea/nay vote on some particular issue, and probably comment
on what can be changed or, better yet, who's opinion (EFF) you support. Then the
statistic from your district should be available to you representative. I bet
she/he would not mind to look at it.
Sure, you personal feelings still would not be delivered, but at least you point
could finally have some effect. And as this system have no obligatory power, there
shouldn't be any problem with "no 100% secure transfer of information over
interenet"...
I need to restart my D-Link DI-704 once in a while too. Somewhere in the manual I saw that this is intended behavior: "our hardware will die when it'll be unable to handle attack to your computer". I don't really believe this, but it hangs more often when I use gnutella.
The reason for not obscuring code of the program is really strange object to look for. Someone better look for reasons to obscure code (bad design, want people to assume that you are not as bad as you are).
There is clearly a conflict with public interest, but people agree to follow
the rules, as there were no other way to stimulate creation and distribution
of work of art. Only if we would have alternative "exclusive Right"
to be secured by "Authors and Inventors" and/or other ways "to
promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts", than there will be no
need for old restrictive mechanisms...
But why, there are alternatives:
"exclusive Right" to sell copies; this way author still
can benefit by selling "author's" issue of his creation, but copying
for non-commercial use will be unrestricted (and welcomed as it "promote
the Progress...");
author can benefit from supporting his product;
artist can benefit from performing his work of art;
people can tip
author (feel free to laugh if it sounds funny to you)...
... the BSA's campaign is primarily a marketing effort essentially designed
to scare people into buying more software... ... the group sends out hundreds of thousands of letters at a time to businesses... ... "we're seeing dramatic increases in sales," said Bob Kruger,
vice president of enforcement for the BSA, in Washington...
BSA use unsolicited e-mails as a marketing tool. Isn't it a spam?
Seriously, I can imagine that democracy is not about what is right and what is
wrong, but rather about who and how going to resolve disagreements. It's ain't
no democracy if disagreements are going to be resolved by corporations with the
attitude "we doing the right thing and we will teach you what it is".
I believe I could find better teachers...
"It turns into an education opportunity," said Harris Schwartz,
director of network policy and standards for Excite@Home. "In many cases
subscribers had no idea that they were doing anything wrong."
Thank God, we have Motion Picture Association of America to teach us what is
right and what is wrong!
NewRiders just published second edition
of amazing "Python
Essential Reference", updated and expanded for Python 2.1 it's the best
Python book money can buy...
It lets me know something's happening. Blinking lights on the panel.
Yeah, I missed this too. But then, I took hard drive out of the SilentDrive
enclosure, and boy, that was terrible! How could you guys stand this din? I
put it back in a minute.
Also, there is neat utility Diskmon
that can act as disk activity LED in your system tray... Yeah, it's for Windows.
I believe there should be something similar for your favorite OS.

The news outlets claims to be able to provide "news", but it should be noted that "printed word" != truth.
As in any news systems, someone being said something does not necessarily mean that their information is valid.

P.S. Man, this is exactly what this system is about. You have to work it out. YOU've got to decide what is worth your attention, and what is not.

Please note this Code Red Strikeback script. If you can, install it! Don't forget to add default.txt with it, so other can download it from you too.
This is good thing.
Yeah, and BTW, if somebody will rewrite it in PHP it'll be good too: I can not put executable cgi in my www directory...

Except for speed and size (and now noise level) there is pretty much nil difference between HDs now and 40 years ago!
You forget about the price. In the last 10 years price for hard drive media dropped 1000 times. May be this is the answer to your question: Why the tinkering with old technology?

Windows has a wider application base and support more hardware.
Yeah, right. Tomorrow. Or next year. Well, in the next century it'll prevail for sure. Because it's so cute!
