The article says this is good because the moon would shield the telescope from your satellite TV and internet access interfering.
Of course, it doesn't mention how exactly they plan on communicating with it! Sure, radio from the earth / reflected off the earth doesn't interfere, but important signals are also blocked.

not exactly. the point of overclocking is first finding the redline (by getting it to where it crashes), then attempting to raise the redline. with a stock cooler, for example, a cpu rated at 700mhz may be stable at 750 but not 800. then, you add more cooling, and the redline goes up.
I never bought music, I listened to the radio. Nobody lost anything when I started getting MP3s. You can't claim I'm a lost sale, since I never bought music anyway, and never will.
Embedded Linux offers a standard kernel but no standard device level application programming interface (API). There are multiple implementations of other major OS components so developers end up working with different programming environments and tools for each device, decreasing efficiency, limiting code re-use and increasing application development time.
For example, there areat least five different
window managers and at least four competing browsers, increasing programming complexity and reducing the pool of available developers.
Nobody will buy it, unfortunately.... consumers have been led to believe they need a 2GHz P4 to surf the web at its best. Unless you find a way to educate them, you won't sell anything:(

I think it would be cool if there was a really low price ($20) for non-professional use... I'm sure a lot more people would pay. I mean, their choice is:
1. it gets pirated, they get $0
2. its sold for cheap, they get a little easy money
3. nobody uses it, they get $0
I beg to differ... our dorms here have a 10MBit connection, and using Terminal Services Client is about as fast as sitting at the machine, VNC is a little slower (just as fast in linux though).
Over the 100MBit connections in the office, it REALLY is like sitting at the machine.
When I was 15 I was like that. I really don't remember why I thought that stuff was cool, it just was. Thankfully I grew out of it.
Hmmm, maybe if there are more crackdowns on script kiddies and more slander against that kind of life these kids won't think it's 'cool' anymore. Just a thought
Same here... but I don't think crackdowns will help. I mean, they probably get enjoyment out of their creation growing (until they fully realized what they did). A better idea than crackdowns might be a controlled environment for kids to screw around in...
Of course, one result would be giving crackes experience / promoting it. But giving out free condoms could be viewed as promoting sex...
whatever. I can't see any especially good solution.
Most likely, to see if they can do it. Its really cool to watch something you make work well. They probably wrote it and didn't consider the consequences. For the first few hours, they were probably thinking, "Cool! The worm works, it spreads like it should!". Then they realized they fucked up royally and decided to turn themselves in. Good for them.
they are written in pure assembly you dumbass. thats the only good language for ultra-small programs, but for larger stuff C is good.
gibson is on crack, he prolly doesn't write his windows routines in pure assembly, or if he does, he wrote them once and copy/pastes. with modern compilers, pure assembly is overrated.
micro29. search google for "micro29 source".;-)
its a pretty terrible virus... it infects the first file *.C* in the current directory by overwriting the first 29 bytes.
minimal virus (.com infecting) is about 29 bytes, IIRC. it is over-writing, so it is readily noticeable. I believe it is called TINY-A (not sure about the last letter).

Ever done any 3d work? I do some pretty crappy stuff but faster processors = faster render time. Same with compiling stuff.
However, I definitely agree with you about improving hard drive / memory

Probably not, but I'm sure aaquake / textmode quake2 might help your framerate a little ;)

Anyone know where I can get the source? kernel.org doesn't go past 1.0 :(
