Actually the general way in which this level of processing is done has been known for a while. Many years ago signals from frog eyes were being decoded -- signals only from fly-sized moving objects. All this guy did was actually make similar circuitry (several versions, undoubtedly) and figure out how to analyze and use the signals. They've been working on it for a while; 1992 is mentioned, and they first announced devices in 1997.
Yes, as I said, a filter is trivial to implement on Linux. It's getting a subscription to a filter rules service that is difficult. Yes, the filter program has to understand the particular filter rules. But what is valuable about the filter package is the filter rules, not the software itself. I'm surprised one of these consumer filtering program companies hasn't already realized there's a market in all these Linux network devices. Some of them are being used in configurations which could use filters. And decoding one set of filter rules doesn't help one to keep current with the ever-chaning web, which is why an update service is needed for this kind of tool.
There is at least one company which is using Linux in network security devices which is indeed selling a filtering service as part of their offerings. They're only selling it with their Linux-based network security box, which is a good combination if you need managed security.
See where "random.stanford.edu" is shown, where "100.random.stanford.edu" will return a TXT entry with a random number in a 100-number range, and "10.random.stanford.edu" will use only a 10-number range. There's also a "passwd.ns.stanford.edu" example which mentions a database.
This example is not attached to HTML, but it does show that the concept of using DNS to give information to a server was published in 1995.
Well, I'd stick the ext2 disk in a Linux box and use Samba to mount it from the MS-Windows machine. But I suspect that for some reason you wanted an MS-Windows program which can read the ext2 contents right off the disk.
A legacy technology is an old one, generally with an interface to new tech (such as 3270 screens made accessible through an HTML web server). Is there a word for new tech being made accessible to old tech? Retro, maybe?
It is possible that users of lbnamed, the Perl DNS server, have done things like this for assorted reasons. Particularly as it's a little easier to modify lbnamed to do odd pattern things than it is to modify bind. I know that I considered this same DNS poisoning technology a year ago (as an SSL obfuscated verification trick...a hidden tripwire) but didn't need it yet.
Why are these lists encrypted anyway? They need to be constantly updated, so what they should be selling is a filtering service.
This is also why there aren't more filters for Linux. Linux is being used for many network gateways, and there is a market for various kinds of filters. It would be trivial to implement, it's just that most companies are trying to sell as if it's a one-time software package rather than selling databases for the filters.
"The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is only true when there is a limited resource which does not get greater. Wealth tends to get created, not assigned.
If there was only a limited, unchanging, amount of wealth then you'd be living in the log cabin which your great-grandfather built, along with all of his descendants.
No, wait. Your great-grandfater created wealth by converting those trees into a cabin. His descendants should be living on the forest floor next to his grave.
Every country has many people who have the basic needs under control and are able to afford Internet access. There also are countries using the Internet to supplement the local library. Each country has its own priorities, as you do. If your priority is to give poor people your money rather than use your computer, feel free to sell your computer and give your money away. You can work for other people as hard as you want to work.
With all the Linux hype, and stock going up when companies just mention Linux in a press release, it certainly feels odd for a company to get rid of a Linux product...
Fortunately, now we have yet another Linux-focused company to watch.
If nothing else, PLIP through the parallel ports of two Linux machines will allow networking. If Linux can talk to the i-opener modem, try "Leased-line mode" AT commands on both modems or else wire up a central office battery simulator (a simple circuit if you know telephone equipment; the minimum voltage varies with equipment and country).
It goes back much further. I remember installing a new OS in the 1970s with assorted bugs. Fortunately, the manufacturer of that mainframe supplied source code and a BBS for customers to share notes and patches...
It caught my eye also. I've squeezed Linux into about 12K before, so could probably fit it there. 32K RAM is tight for web browsing, of course.
There's no network port. I could talk to another Linux box through the parallel port, or the modem if it's not a proprietary modem (I can make a modem-to-modem interface if I can tell both modems to not expect a dialtone or ring).
The i-opener uses the Trident CyberBLADE i7 graphics chip -- I haven't checked the level of Linux support for it. I also don't know how standard the signals from the mouse on the keyboard is.
Oh, does that take me back. I got assigned the review of a MULTICS bid for a big timesharing system. Spent two weeks going through all the system manuals. Rings within rings, system speed adjustment bits, priority handler...
The two low estimates are http://www.sciam.com/2000/0300issue/0300alpert.htm l">$20-40 billion (US). That's one-third of last year's US budget surplus (or pick a favorite number yourself).
Relax, it's only a little moderation. It fades soon enough. I would have tagged it "Temporally Obsolete" myself if I could. Further moderation discussion where it's appropriate.

Do we all remember the difficulties China has been having with fax machines and Internet use? Good, I thought so.

It depends upon the corporation or the part of the corporation one is involved in. We know some of the things which Xerox PARC created.

I think you're wrong, it's vanity. He referred to the "communistic" OS vanity.
