For anyone who hasn't heard CarTalk, it's a true bit of radio-americana. They have a Real Audio archive of their shows on the website.
Tom and Ray (the hosts) are both MIT grads, so their opinions are not only nerdy, but also quite often right, when it comes to auto-tech.
Some people dont realize how intimate the bay area backcountry really can be. However, make sure you have your permit in order. For daytime fun, you can get turn by turn directions for a nice drive. But as one might also expect, it can get a little bit bumpy there.
Remember the norwegian boat incident? It seems Aussie attitudes are not as all would have them to be. The support was quite strong for the PM, in that case.
I wonder if all the crypto-advocacy sites over there would also be considered not-suitable-for-children?
You work it out, friend. My sig is there for you. We all feel (at least a little of) the pain. But things are looking bright now, for our justice system to get the Supreme test.
Any Bruce is better than no Bruce at all. But, my guess is that they'll continue with animations along the lines of Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger. (soaring, levitation, etc)
If you get "referral denied", just hit reload. Silly Apple.
Dont think so. The problem is that their server does not default the index.html file (for that directory/location), but your link above is relying on that (default index.html) functionality.
From the brief: Whether in good faith or bad faith, Plaintiffs [RIAA] claimed more rights than they actually own
The bargaining leverage of the RIAA is touted repeatedly in this brief, and not as a good thing. This may or may not be true, depending on the "status" of the artist sitting at the negotiating table. By the same token, most artists dont have the bankroll to do their own marketing/publicity. So they do, in effect, get a VC investor when they sign up with an RIAA member. The typical observer may not see the big difference between this relationship, and someone with a good business plan who needs capital to startup another dotcom. We all know what the typical VC wants for their cut.
What they (the artists) dont yet fully realize, is that digital format, and encryption is going to change things.
This is their moment. This is ground zero for digital music, and it might be their last chance to assert their own authority over their own works in the digital realm, which will soon be (perhaps already is) the basis of all other realms. There are very few analog distribution channels left out there with any popularity.
I hope that they (artists) take the time to learn how to use crypto/digital to their own advantage. If they (RAC) wanted to, they could (say) make their own CA and start their own distribution network immedietly. Then the RIAA would simply be another purchaser (redistributor) of the digital form of the works.
I'm guessing the moderators are long gone, but if you would have quoted just a teeny-bit from the faq:
Q2.1: How can we prove these massive numbers are prime?
A: We can use a method known as the Lucas-Lehmer (LL) test. It works like
this:
For odd p, the Mersenne number 2^p-1 is prime if and only if 2^p-1 divides
S(p-1) where S(n+1) = S(n)^2-2, and S(1)=4
I'll bet they would have been even more impressed... It would have answered my question directly, and would have been one of the most on-topic bits in this thread. Sigh. But thanks, the faq itself was better.
I guess a good percentage of the readers have studied Eratosthenes of Cyrene, or at least his so-called "Sieve" to calculate primes. I'm wondering if anyone can outline how these larger numbers are found and validated?
What makes you think that you can handle maintaining the Linux Kernel
Er, no disrespect intended, but is this not just a bit redundant? Don't the background question at the top, plus inquiries about his financial situation, and querying his opinions on major important issues seem sufficient? What kind of an answer would be appropriate for a worldwide community here?
Seems this question would be difficult to respond to in a way that would impress everyone. Just imho. I'll bet you can read his list submissions and dig into this in a much more subtle way.
As I recall, it was the team of kids at the Center who wrote Mosaic. Perhaps Marc was a key coder, but I never got the impression that he owned the code, even though I do recall that he had the "blessing" of the powers at the Center to branch.
Perhaps Netscape (the company) could have spun-off from NCSA. Bygones. But taking something free and trying to make money on it was the name of the game. Thats my point.
I am also not debating the correctness or timeliness or any other "ess" in this thread.
Keep in mind the subject of my posting.
While it sounds like a good read, (who doesn't like to cluck their tongue disapprovingly now and then?) I find no motivation to study the failures and misconceptions which were so widely purveyed and deployed.
Sometimes I wonder if the only real thing that happened during the last 8 years since Mosaic was exploitation, lies, and hype. Even Netscape itself, when it went public, was largely an exploitation of Mosaic. I refused on principal to buy into their IPO.
There's still only one good way to success. And that's hard work. (Maybe a little luck)

No? Then I ain't stoppin in the middle of town.

extreme, perhaps? extendable? extraneous? extatic?
All details. Now. Under the threat of strong enforcement provisions.
Hmm, who wins there?
They are looking for either
- more support
- more evidence
Will you reply?Just who's relief we talking about here?
Guide us Landru!

Yup. And the neighborhood too. Can you imagine a realtime babysitter network of these things? Or, perhaps a pet watching service...
(Hoping the frequency gives this kind of range)
Is it just me, or are these biologists a terribly orderly bunch?
And Chris is proofreading.
Maybe life is looking up.
Barbecue!
Is the basic phenomenon analogous in these cases? It seems like this was also reported here on /., but I can't find it right now.
Bruce coulda kicked ass on all them pussies.

One must refer to the actual html page to get to the goodies.
I wanna reach out and feel someone.

Big karma for some lucky geek, no doubt.

A good review, tho.
