www.animeboards.com has an excellent collection of Evangelion information on it's "Evangelion Discussions" board. It helps to clear up many of the questions that are answered vaguely in the show and might not get to you the first (twenty) times you watch...
Oh. Before seeing Evangelion, I thought that all anime is Pokemon-like crap. Now I don't. And I bought the boxed set, and wait anxiously for D&R and EoE.
It cannot be compared to TCP/IP, as ASN.1 is a syntax notation with various encoding rules (BER/CER/DER/XER), while TCP and IP are networking protocols.
Mobile services in US are quite retarded anyway - different standards, even GSM standard is different from European; different networks incompatible, no decent mobile phones (Nokia 62xx series that is)...
Well, in some things US lags way behind, and unfortunately this has shown no signs of getting better. Makes me happy to live in Europe:)
Well, most probably that US hasn't yet moved to rest-of-the-world (Europe & Asia) compatible GSM standard. Here GSM 900 and GSM 1800 networks cover most of the continent, while US corporations each push incompatible standards, most of them even analogue. Even GSM is fscked up in the US - IIRC it was GSM 800 and GSM1900, so the band was shifted 100MHz for some strange reason...
and I am quite happy with my 6110, but I am planning on moving to a 6210 soon:)
Basically, any OS can be made secure or insecure. It all depends on the skills of the system administrator.
For example, a Windows NT sitting behind a firewall and doing nothing is pretty secure:)
Default installations of Linux distributions suck from the security aspect, as every distromaker tries to include something for everybody and knowing that the average administrator is a brain-dead moron used to WinNT point-and-click UI, everything is open by default. This is a sharp contrast to OpenBSD, where only really necessary services are running by default and you have to add others.
Linux can be made pretty secure. Most of my boxes have never had any problems, of course I took time to secure them. Default installations suck, you have to do some work yourself. No OS certification can fix your mistakes.
Ok, this is normal that ftp.redhat.com is full. But I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that metalab/ibiblio is FULL - now this has NEVER happened to me before.
Read the arcticle. The technology required to build a space elevator will be available in 50 years, and then humanity is able to build one. And this is going to take another 10 years at least, and maybe by then other ways of fast anc cheap travel to space will be available..
There was a picture of a Linux wrist watch on the cover of July 2000 issue of Linux Journal. There was also a technical arcticle explaining what exactly the wristwatch was.
A while back similar thing happened to Segfault. People abused their polls (you were able to add your own choices) and comments (yea, Natalie Portman etc). Segfault, instead of shutting everything down, shut their comment system and poll system down.
Rather unfortunate that script kiddies and other 31337 h2x0rz can pull a whole site down with their stupidity...
Actually, this overclocking race shows us how far the companies stand from eachother:P
When Pentium II 300MHz and Celeron 300A ruled the known universe, they had a lot of slack. One could put it up to at least 450MHz without any hiccups, quite often even higher. At that time, AMD was having a hard time. Their K6-2 sucked, it is a well known fact that they don't go up as easily as Intel's CPUs...
So, Intel was WAY ahead of AMD in the MHz race, because it could introduce CPUs with higher speed more often than AMD.
Now, the tables may have turned. Duron 600MHz goes up 350MHz (to 950MHz), has a 200MHz FSB et cetera, while Intel Celeron can barely reach the same frequencies - 733MHz -> 1GHz, that's only 266MHz...
So, AMD is holding the MHz race flag. For how long? This competition thing, I rather like it:)
Many warez servers, crack servers etc are in Russia. They do have copyright laws, but the local authorities don't care much about piracy in Internet. There has been some public stunts where "hackers were caught", but actually that wasn't anything considerable.
Probably in a couple of years pirate sites will move to third-world countries, e.g. Russia or Asian countries, where the laws aren't so strict or they don't care about copyright laws.
(Btw, even today Russian warez sites and crack sites are better than servers in Europe or America. I know;) )
Think about it. Inroducing their own root name servers allows them to sell domains at their own will, even existing ones. And hardcoding these name servers into Win* OS's, of course. For VPNs without Internet access they would introduce MS-DNS Server (starting at $899)...
I happened to hear a conversation where a IT specialist tried to explain 64bit sofware to a newbie.
The joke is that the newbie said: "Processors available today are 32bit, right? And next CPUs will be 64bit? But that means two times larger software!!!"
There is a project with the aim of supporting Nokia phones under Linux - Gnokii. It worked with my Nokia 5110 and a colleague's 6110, can't say anyhing about other (5130, 5190 and othes sold in the US) phones. It doesn't support data calls yet. It will soon.
Slashdot Mirror
This is going to be quite interesting to watch how the Internet is going to get over of the failure of these two major carriers.
Or can we really expect 50% reduced bandwidth worldwide?

It is still used to encode SNMP packets, for example.

This "dual band" is GSM900 and GSM1800, neither of which is used in US.
Well, most probably that US hasn't yet moved to rest-of-the-world (Europe & Asia) compatible GSM standard.

Ok, going to download via HTTP, no problem

There was some severe technical problems with it. IIRC it had trouble lifting off and some of the experimental models even exploded...
...and the funding was cut off.
It might have been otherwise. Don't take it for truth. I simply am not sure about this.

Well, cheab rackmount chassis is just not to be found :(
For DIYers: look at ATX specifications: http://www.teleport.com/~ffsupprt. That should help a lot.

Eek. Let's hope it won't happen.
