Considering the theory that the earth was created in a mostly solid state from matter orbiting the sun, and considering that this meteorite was in a solar orbit before the Earth caught it, this may support the Deep-Earth Gas theory that hydrocarbons emanate from deep in the Earth, where they abound. Which would in turn support Thomas Gold's Deep Hot Biosphere theory that says that life formed deeper in the earth and only reached the surface after a slow ascent.
To answer an earlier question about where the diamond fragments came from, perhaps the force of the sudden impact on the earth's surface caused the compounds in the meteorite to crystalize and form the diamond shards? Just a thought.
A method by which a government agency may blatantly violate constitutional rights by requiring an Interet Service Provider (ISP) to install a piece of unmarked hardware on their networks with the premise of recording the e-mail traffic of law breaking citizens, thereby allowing said government agency to record and analyze all manner of network traffic from law abiding citizens, corporations, etc. Enabling the government agency to violate rights granted by the constitution and allow said government agency to profit from trade secrets collected in the process, notwithstanding the fact that this will never *ever* happen.
Handspring just recently (today) announced their visorphone. I think it looks kinda cool. GSM and everything!
Solaris to Linux transition??
on
Sun Buys Cobalt
·
· Score: 2
Maybe Sun doesn't know it now, but perhaps this spells the demise (or rebirth, depending on how you look at it) of Solaris? If Sun purchases cobalt and that division continues to make Linux servers, perhaps they can convince Sun to merge the better features of Solaris into the Linux kernel. Just as SGI IRIX may in time enter the flame and be reborn as a more powerful Linux, perhaps so too will Solaris be such a phoenix. One can only hope.

I live in virginia. Here, your personal information (address, etc) is considered property that can be used in exchange for services or product. The fact that the radio shack people asked me for my name and address legally constitutes a sale.
GPG may not support this; however, what if a key created with GPG had this ADK appended to it and a PGP client was used to interpret and use the key?? Is there any chance in the world of general key misuse due to the fact that PGP is a rather popular client?? I'm no expert on key exchange, but this, to me, seems to be the case. Would someone care to correct me?? ( I truly hope I am corrected )

There is a minidisk player out there that comes with a program that converts mp3s to its compression and then allows for download onto a disk on the player. It's pretty nice, I might get one myself. I wonder how well that program would work under wine??? =)

What is the point of this?? What are they getting out of it? It's not like taking money from an online bank, at least then they get something. This is just pointless!
People need to be more security conscious about their systems. I'm going to go nmap scan my box a few times to find out if any of these distributed attack nodes found its way on it. Please be careful and make sure that this can't happen on your machines.

I'm wondering if LinuxOne has paid the licensing fee for use of QT in a proprietary product. The QPL prohibits proprietary software, so they can't develop it under that.
What is the developer version license again? Is it a whopping $1,550 per developer or something like that? I'd be interested to find out if someone has informed the folks at troll tech. They are already selling this product on their web site.

Have you even looked at their web-site recently?? Their drivers have been released under the XFree license, The source is available. The GLX module works *really* well...can't wait for their DRI version in XFREE4.0...read NVIDIA's linux faq
Faith in technology or faith in the people behind that technology? I don't think the people who were partying would have left it up to technology alone. I know I wouldn't. We wouldn'tve been out partying if we hadn't known that there were so many people working to make sure we didn't have to worry. If the world blindly trusted technology by itself, it would be a sad day indeed. I know that the world doesn't because there's at least one of us out here who lives trusting people to work well to make the technology work (and I plan to be one of those people soon).

Carnivore is used in sensitive criminal and foreign intelligence investigations.
I'm just curious...why is he using the present tense here??? Carnivore is?? That's frightening....

How do you like that??

Isn't this what the oh so popular web browser lynx was originally developed to do?? I'm fairly sure this is the case.

I've always wondered this about attorneys. Boxers of briefs? And also, along a similar track, Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, or Jockey?
