Just a note. Hong Kong don't have child exploitation for a long time. There are regulations stating the minimum age for a full-time worker here. I think what you meant is more practical to Mainland China, which in my view, is a separate place from Hong Kong.
Hum... till ppl start assigning one ip address per fridge, cooker, toaster, air cond., etc...
Umm... no.
2^128 addresses means that every one of the 7 billion people on the planet can have 48,611,766,702,991,209,066,196,372,490 addresses of their very own.
That's a lot of appliances.
Maybe when cyberborg appears, we will assign ip to every human cells. that time it may not be enough.
AND they've announced that they're porting iTunes to Windows.
I just feel that Apple is a bit stupid in this move. Why don't they wait until a windows version is ready before announcing the itunes service? By then it will take MS hugh effort to fight back
Guys, be more realistic, you think a college kid or most of us will spend $75k per year for music?!? I doubt only professional DJ will do that.
$120 per year sounds more reasonable to me. The only concern is that the word "unlimited download". We all know that people will download like crazy when they saw the word unlimited. When M$ finds that their bandwidth bill is more than they are willing to play, we will see $120 per year with 100 songs per month...
The reason is that WinVNC, TightVNC etc. use port number 5800 and another one (I forget) for command and screenshot transmission. If you are behind a firewall and have only port 80 enabled, then you have no luck, you can't access anything outside. Yes, true, VNC has a way to change the port number to 80, but if you look closely at the documentation and what people says on usenet, you will find that it DOESN'T work without a bit of code hacking. (in some tight proxy env. this won't work either)
While GoToMyPc will simply do what it says, you can use a browser with port 80 opened to access your pc at home, nothing else. That's why it is still useful.
Rivest has published some more micropayment scheme before this one. One of them is called Payword . Payword allows certified customers to generate electronic coins themselves. Vendor can validate this coin by using the digital signature provided by the Bank. By doing this way, the real-time network communication between customersbank to buy/sell electronic coins is minimized which is always a bottleneck to many coin based scheme.
My final year project is an implementation of the payword scheme. Anyone interested can contact me and I can send you a copy of my report. jonearth@hotmail.com
I bet if you know that the only production line of Xbox is located in Pearl region, you will not say this again.
I work in the one of the largest EMS company in the world (google and u will know which). They made all the Xboxes that are shipped to the asia pacific region, North America and Europe. And it is true that they can just crank out xboxes with the minimum cost. The labour is cheap, unlimited supply of industrial land and the huge support of local gov. official, what can you expect more?
Actually, the labour here is so cheap that you can hire 100 workers for the price of one single US worker. And they are all happy to receive that salary. I talk with some of them and they tell me their monthly salary is still triple or even more than what they can get in their home region.
MS has to have their 40b deposited in banks. Those banks don't just pay interest for fun; they take that 40b and loan it to others (you, me, etc.) and we use that money to build houses, buy cars, and do other things that stimulate the economy and create more wealth. The banks take the interest we pay, take their cut, and pay interest to those that have deposited their money with the banks (MS, IBM, you and me, etc.).
MS has to have their 40b deposited in banks.

The ball roll and roll and finally Microsoft rules the world and becomes Microsoft United Kingdom.
The new Morpheus marketing program is based on a technology called browser helper objects (BHO), which attach themselves to Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser
The Morpheus spyware is just a.dll that will be loaded every time your Internet Explorer starts. It is registered in the windows registry.
So this bho spyware can be removed by using bhocaptor . Bhocaptor displays all bho that are registered within windows registry. So, what you need to do is to select Morpheus bho(a.dll file) and then deactivate it.
As bho is an Internet explorer technology, those who are using netscape or mozilla should be immune to this spyware.
of a good way to keep a laptop from being stolen is to not put it in a bag that screams, "There's a laptop in this bag!
Yes, I agree.
Personally, I put my laptop in a small computer sleeve and then put it in my casual backpack. This is even much safer than using Targus notebook bag as professional thief may recognize this kind of expensive laptop bag. For me, I can put my sleeve into whatever kind of bags, suitcase and backpack but still have enough protection to my notebook.
Excerpt from here When Ma Ho was ten years old (around 1381), he was captured along with other children when the Chinese army invaded Yunan to take control over the region. At the age of 13 he was castrated, as were other young prisoners, and he was placed as a servant in the household of the Chinese Emperor's fourth son (out of twenty-six total sons), Prince Zhu Di.
...Zhu Di renamed Ma Ho as Cheng Ho..
Yes, this man has a terrible experience in his childhood... In China, all king's male servant has their sexual organs cut before they can serve the king and queen.
Cheng Ho, who was said to have been seven feet tall, was given greater power when Zhu Di became emperor in 1402. One year later, Zhu Di appointed Cheng Ho admiral and ordered him to oversee the construction of a Treasure Fleet to explore the seas surrounding China. Admiral Cheng Ho was the first eunuch appointed to such a high military position in China.
Zhu Di is a good emperor but he only becomes king after he has engaged in a putsch. The orginal king, who is Zhu Di's little brother, disappears in the captial during the putsch. There is a conspiracy theory that Cheng Ho's sail is actually motivated by King Zhu Di's attempt to find and kill his lost brother, who is rumoured to be seen somewhere in South Asia around Philiphines and Malaysia.
2. Page views are a *terrible* way of measuring site use. Changing settings (like viewing thresholds), double-checking stories before posting, refreshing a page to see a continuing discussion -- do these count? Can you tell? I don't want to live in fear of wasting my page-views, *especially* if I'm wasting page views by *contributing* content to your site.
It depends on how/. implement this micropayment system, my current project is about micropayment and so I did some research on this. What slashdot needs to do is to set a time limit on each page for each user. Each page maintains a list of paid users and when a user has purchased a page, he is added to the list and can access it unlimited number of times for free within, let's say, 12 hours.
This is easy to implement and elminate all arguments like does reload counts? or my IE crash when I am reading in the middle of a page.
Last month, I feel real bad and vomit in my own jacket. I put my jacket in my washing machine to wash it. I dry it on the other day and find there's something heavy inside the pocket. I think it may be coins, card or paper something, I pull that thing out and find that it is my new CLIE.... I turn on the power immediately and poor little thing is already gone. I open the case and try to do a last minute first aid using my hair drier, BOOOBOO.. I turn it on again and finally confirm its death. Maybe I should I put it into my microwave owen like this guy does...
What I find out from this tragedy is that - DON't BUY T-400!
This little thing is too slim that I always put it in my pocket and forget to get it out...
That's the creedo I used whenever I explained things to my internet-newbie friends and family a few years ago. If it exists online, it exists in a free format and you shouldn't pay for it. Video game news? Plenty of fan sites. Web hosting? If you're just putting up photos of your dog there are free hosting sites. And now, search...
Yes, there must be a free format somewhere on the web. BUT if one need to spend 10 hours to find these free resources(IRC, ftp, usenet), I will definitely pay for a dollar to get it within a minute in a pay site.

gee.. I have reloaded this site for a hundred times and I think a lot of /. is doing the same thing and its server going to melt.
Can someone send an gmail invitation to me? I will trash my hotmail and yahoo a/c in a heartheat. Thank you. jonearth@hotmail.com
Not sure why they pick bloggers but not slashdotters...
Anyone would like to sell those accounts on ebay?

I am a programmer of a small software house in Hong Kong. I have a BS in CS and 1 year working experience. Let me tell me how much do we earn here.
In Hong Kong, for those programmers with 1-2 working experinces like me, we are earning US 15K. 63K can hire a half a dozen programmers here.
In China, programmers are earning US 3K a year!!! I am not kidding, 3K a year for a CS graduate. And 5K a year for a PHD.
This is absolutely crazy but there are still a lot of programmers flooding into China as they are expecting more good years to come.
