3. An evil empire built by Microsoft does not really benefit them in the long run. Microsoft is in the business of making money, not taking over the world.
There's a lot of money to be had in taking over the world.
First off, kudos to the samba team for developing a product that works well and raises Microsoft's ire.
Does anyone know if future versions of Samba will be able to function as a backup domain controller in an NT4 domain? That right there would be a huge boon for companies that don't want to spend MS License costs, but need failover protection.
Unfortunately, I'm still a novice programmer, and that sort of thing is well above my abilities. Oh well, maybe one day.
I was thinking more along the lines of preventative medicine. If cancer is genetic, and only one entity (gov, corp, etc) has that information, there will be nothing to check it against.
I imagine an incident where some researcher is absolutely *sure* that sequence gaagattat is the cancer gene, when in fact in controls how many testicles I have
I for one am glad that my government is competing with the private sector. This doubling of the research makes sure that it is more reliable when it is finished.
How would you like to get a revolutionary new cancer drug, only to find out that the shotgunning method used by Celera missed a few steps? With the government and Celera both having data, errors can be found and corrected before they cost someone dearly.
I'm not too much of a hardware guy, but I do know that the BIOS of a computer are made of CMOS. I also know that they're extremely small. Would this have any impact on instant boot projects like LinuxBIOS? With 64MB you could fit pretty much the entire boot procedure. That would be sweet.
If I remember correctly, only the initial stages of the Solaris install are a heinous abomination. After that I remember a nice webview install. Would something like that work for Debian?
I've used Cygwin to run X windows on MS windows, and it seemed a bit of a kludge. While it was nice to run apps, the integration with the rest of the system was messy at times.
While I really do have to applaud the Cygwin folks for their work, I wonder if it would not be more effective (or possible?) to port Kde as a litestep style shell replacement.
Why does an organization like the FBI even need the ant-virus makers cooperation? If they were half as good as the federal government makes them out to be they would have a cross-platform, stealthed, and god-only-knows-what program out in a day.
Or is that the NSA?
But honestly, if virus writers can bypass virus-scanners, why can't the Feds?
But seriously, what are some real world applications for things like this? I haven't seen one in real life, so I don't know how bright they are, but I don't think we're at pocket monitor level yet.
This is cool and all, but I'd like to see a wireless network interface built into a dash unit. There would be nothing cooler than refreshing your available playlist by just driving in front of your house.
Why use the mp3 format when you have 80 gig. With that much space it would be easy to just copy over a WAV file and have high quality music stuffed into a small package. If done right, it could be quite the CD killer.
Just use the body heat powered thermoelectric system from a few articles back for power and you have an always-on, ubiquitous interface solution. Just think of the possibilities that this could have in public.
Sorry, but after the same exact set of events repeats itself dozens of times over the course of a decade, you can't chalk it up to accident any more. This is malice.

I guess this gives new meaning to the term "Getting Flashed."
(Insert various sexual innuendos here.)
Sorry, I just couldn't resist it.

This was the result of compromises with the Microsoft Windows servers
Just wait until it crashes in a couple of weeks and the problem will be solved.

But how does this work if my eyes are closed?

The WTO's greatest defense. No one will ever see the offending pages at this rate...

[user@host]$ vi filename
Just my take on the matter
It's a feature. You know that the majority of people who get a passport account only use if to sign up for pr0n sites anyway...
This just cuts out the middleman
Geeks: "We Math Good!"
Does anyone else have any anecdotal evidence of IBM drive problems? For all we know, Pair is just damned unlucky.

The main purpose of a gun is to provide a housing for explosive gas to push against, and as a result send a projectile forward at high speeds.
Remember that only sentient beings can have intent.
And how will anti-encryption laws stop terrorists who meet face to face?
It's rather trivial to shoot something like this down with a MiG.
I don't know if the Afghanis have much air power. Besides, I'd rather have the MiG use it's payload on a UAV rather than a manned aircraft.
I can't seem to get the article. Has the site been slashdotted or did one of these drones get a bit off-target?
