Dunno why he didn't put up a seed. That's just silly.
I'm torrenting up the little bit I've already downloaded, and I see at least one other person has done the same. Would someone with a full download please help out?
I'd make a torrent if I had a complete download... Or if someone out there has already downloaded it, I can teach 'em how to torrent it and will provide tracker service...
Incandenza, I consider myself to be a "hacker" by the old sense of the word, but it's an impossibility to get rid of the new popular definition. Besides, "hacking" when referring to people's limbs and skin produces a much more vivid visualization, and therefore is more likely to be adopted...
Not only is the idea of having RFIDs embedded into people's skin scary to me, but it also promises to add a new, terrifying meaning to the term "hacking"...
The tip jar will give them some income, but they should reach for other sources as well. Merchandise can bring in some bucks. They should also consider running a blog and a forum, and advertising on both. Gigs and concerts can be a great source of income, and if your friends are good, their fans may be able to come up with a touring schedule for them without their having to find their own venues.
You forgot the convenience factor. You'd have to wait a week, twiddling your thumbs, while that cluster ground away at the data. If there's a problem with the data, you may not find out until the end of the week, at which time your bosses will be pissed because you'll be telling them the projections will be delayed.
With Sun's service, you'll probably get the result within a few hours, not a week. If there's a problem the tests can be re-run with plenty of time before the presentation.
Of course, your bosses may be even more displeased about the extra $10,000 cost of the run than they would've been about another week's delay. Hope you talk fast!
And that's why they've tried to stifle the genesis of internet radio streams, by setting the standard licensing rates very high and using patents on both the techniques and the technology to suppress the services. Internet radio definitely has the potential to break the RIAA's monopoly on introducing people to new artists.
The difference is that, without BitTorrent or its ilk, distributors have to pay for the bandwidth to send those files to the people who want them, and if that material gets popular those servers are going to get expensive, or badly crowded, or both. The question is how much of a boost over the bottom line BitTorrent gives them. Considering the size of some of these promos, I wouldn't be surprised if it's significant.
(1) Denial-of-service attack effects can reach far beyond the designated target. Other servers on the same ISP, or group of ISPs, can experience bad effects.
(2) It makes a nice easy way to create a DDoS attack; simply spam away with your target's website and watch angry people blast it into shreds.
'Fraid I'd have to disagree with you on that. They have some very smart people there, and "search" is actually an immensely broad task with lots of different requirements. http://sourceforge.net/projects/goog-sparsehash/, a library they've open-sourced, is immensely useful, and I'm sure there's lots of even more interesting code they're keeping under wraps.
I participated in the Google IPO because I figured they'd do good things with the money. So far, I think their choices in purchasing have been excellent, and I consider it well-spent. I don't think I'd buy any more stock at its current valuation, but I'm also hesitant to sell.
Can open-source accomplish anything? Absolutely. Is it different from commercial software in bad ways? Yes, some. Good ways too. OS's biggest bugaboo is that it tends to be less user-friendly, since the people who work on it aren't being paid to cater to newbies. Also, projects sometimes fall into the doldrums when coders move on, though that's rare with popular packages. But all in all we've all seen through experience that open-source can compete and has successfully competed with some commercial projects.
"Due to huge demand (even compared to my own aggressive estimates), the Google Earth free download and activations have been temporarily disabled. If you are running Google Earth on your machine, it will continue to work, but you won't be able to install it on a different machine."
Forget 2D maps. It's dead easy to play around with Google Earth - and you don't even need an API.
Go 'head and try it. Save a location, or folder of locations, as a.kmz file. Then rename it to.zip and unzip it. You'll find a "doc.kml" file, xml-formatted, easy as pie to reverse-engineer and work with.
Physical security is a potential worry for any person, organization or service; many major security breaches involve physical rather than algorithmic security. (See "social hacking".) The only real solution is to have your own server on your own property, with sufficient safeguards to prevent a "sneak-and-peek" from being successful.
As heard from Rush Limbaugh and one of his callers, the majority opinion basically said that case law trumps the Constitution. In other words, if too many people let a freedom go astray, that freedom becomes forever lost.
I don't know why they keep shooting holes in the Constitution, it's already dead. Might as well bury it and stop ignoring our chains.

Yeah, but that's probably not where they're going to implant the RFIDs.

For once, the goatse trolls may well be on-topic.
No, it's plain to see that guy has no need for an endoscope.

Don't worry; I'm sure they'll be licensing the hardware too soon.
Pins 2&3 on a 9-pin or 25-pin port? (I'm guessing it's 9-pin, but please be specific.)

Use a RAID 5 array, keep a replacement drive handy, and watch the drive temperature.
