Wouldn't we know by now if we're going to ever get superluminal communication? You know, because the signal would travel back in time?
I dunno, but Doc said that if a packet travels through time and sees itself in the past, it'll either a) cause a catastrophic disaster within the space-time continuum, or b) pass out.
(Unless it sees itself saving the DeLorean from the Libyans, in which case nothing will happen.)
BTW - the second after I hit submit on that post, I thought to myself "this is slashdot... some smartass is going to calculate those latency times vs the actual distance of the planets and then make fun of me".

I ran into Bruce Schneier at an airport once. While we were waiting for a plane, I asked him if he would show me a "cool computer trick". He popped the RAM out of my laptop and quickly tasted the edge with the gold leads. He then told me that at 11:23pm the previous night I had visited ideepthroat.com with Firefox. Damn he's good.
If one of their squid logfiles is 245k... imagine going through a month's worth of that to find out when Johnson in Accounting visited xxxanimalfarm.com.

Tell me then, if the Internet doesn't belong to everyone - who does it belong to?
Do you seriously think the Internet belongs to those who own the copper/fiber infrastructure that delivers it? Do you think that the Internet belongs to those who invented TCP/IP?
You know that's now what I meant, but now that you mentioned it - I had about a 5 second sick visual that I found strangely exciting, and now I have to go wash my disturbed mind out with soap.
My wife runs linux. It's nice, cause she only does what I tell her to do (and boy she's flexible) - and she's not always out doing stuff I don't know about getting strange diseases and spreading them all over town.
Slashdot Mirror
The question was:
"Do any Slashdotters have a regular workout routine that can be performed in the privacy of the home to stave off those pounds?"
I love seeing things get open sourced just as much as the next guy, but who in their right mind would WANT the source code for Vista?
Especially since it will only fit on Blu-Ray - I don't know about you, but I don't have a freaking Blu-Ray drive.
Man I wish I could afford a faster than light connection like you... Here I am stuck on a legacy electromagnetic link.
It took me over 4 days just to run that!
Get AOL already then.

Heheee I love it. :)
It'll probably take a while before we have superliminal communication, though. ;)
Bah - shamans have been doing that crap for YEARS.

really I feel it ties Debian together with some sealant in the cracks and some polish as well. Good job everyone and thanks!
Hehe... I used to think Ubuntu was like taking the engine out of a Mercedes (Debian) and installing it into a DeLorean.

I mean, seriously.

Do you seriously think the Internet belongs to those who own the copper/fiber infrastructure that delivers it?
Do you think that the Internet belongs to those who invented TCP/IP?
Who's the idiot?
Eventually we'll have to unite and fight back against censorship, shutdowns, throttling, surveillance, and government control.
Imagine... the first "virtual revolution".
You mean back when they were just a rip off of RedHat?
Yup. Which was back when RedHat actually worked.
(I'm jabbing at Fedora, not the pay-for-functionality ES series.)
Instead of just releasing another hosed major version?
Anyone remember back when it was Mandrake and it actually worked?
"act as a representative of the company in such matters as pertain to technology and synergisms"

Full-featured firewalls, will run on old crappy hardware you got laying around the garage. All you need is two NICs. Viola. QoS no problemo.
Ahh hell, if svn works just pull everything and set up a mirror. :)
