Funny... I was just wondering on how I could capitalize on the "nanotech" buzzword myself. I was thinking of something along the lines of "Optimizing datasets to increase throughput on nanotechnology driven media using commodity protocols."
I mean, electrons could be measured in nanometers, and http is in wide spread use... not bad for stripping all of the "newline" character(s) out of a web page...
What main distro ships out of the box transparent per file, directory or volume level encryption? None.
What main distro ships with many out of the box remotely-exploitable holes? Or increadibly broken email clients? A strong sys admin is need for your Windows boxes just as much, if not more so, than UNIX-ish boxes. Of the three servers running in my office the Windows box needs to be rebooted about once a month; I use the uptime of the OpenBSD boxes to measure when the last power outage was.

my new blog articles get top search results while the old ones still do not.
Isn't that part of the Google algorithim... links on/from the front page contribute more to your PageRank? As links to your article move off of blogs' front pages and into "archive" sections, your PageRank is going to go down. (IANG)
On top of that, I looked into "business class cable" in Kearny, New Jersey, and was informed that they would block inbound port 80, as well as other common ports, and would only provide 8 IPs with no NATing allowed. Completly useless in this case, I had to recommend ISDN (which is hella pricey).
Have you used Phoenix? If Minotaur is half as good as that stripped-down browser is, it will soon be regarded as the best email client out there.
I just installed (yesterday, in fact) the latest Moz build specifically for the k3wl email spam filters, but am so much happier with the performance of Phoenix. Looks like I get to go back to my favorite Gecko browswer...
I am having trouble figuring out why anyone (outside of a small subset of the population) would need accuracy less than 50 feet or so.
Ask the people who were in an uproar when the found out that their Pentium 60's might have a floating-point division error that manifests itself in the fiftenth decimal place.
Bigger Better Stronger Faster and insanely Accurate. Isn't that everybody's goal?
The local rag has a "call the editors" section... and in it you will find the most idiotic thoughts expressed in the worst english possible; but once the barrier of entry (e.g. having to find paper, envelope, and a stamp, and then being able to write legibly) has been lowered so much, all sorts of half-baked opinions are voiced.
Editors should realize that if you are not literate enought to paraphrase your cause's main points in your own words, your opinion doesn't deserve being printed.
That's not the point of "life-cycle" or "cradle-to-grave" design: no one is going to ask you to take a Sawzall to your Saturn and seperate out the colored plastic from the gray, the glass, the aluminum, and the iron for curbside recycling. Rather, the manufacturer takes the used goods (through buy-back or trade in incentives, or possibly by only leasing the vehicle) and makes proper use of them.
You liberals are going to get what you asked for... you can only protect your First Amendment rights with your Second Amendment rights, and Microsoft has realized that it can only protect in illegal monopoly by exercising it's Second Amendment rights. Hmm, as a federally registered arms dealer, they may even be able to purchase fully automatic weapons. All you OSS coders better sharpen your skills... with a rifle!
"Total ojectivity" is only going to be found in yourself, hopefully after reading enough conflicting viewpoints. Anyone with the fire to write about something is probably a deep fan or critic.
Well assuming you know enough about the GPS aerial's location that you can jam it effectively, would it not be more useful to pad the aerial with lead, or even to unplug it?
That's near exactly what I was thinking... that, and of a device that can detect GPS recievers to aid in nulifying one on a rental car. But does a GPS reciever do anything that can be detected? I suppose, in the situation of a rental car, that something is also being transmitted back to the rental agency, so that signal should be detectable & blockable. Has anyone read any reasearch into doing that?
Part of the problem, I belive (and may be wrong), is that Disney sells this as "protecting the image of Mickey Mouse", and goes around telling lawmakers that unless "Steamboat Willy" always has copy protection, we're going to start seeing Mickey in porno movies.
But Mickey Mouse & all the other characters are Trademarks... the only thing the expiration of copywrite will allow is that we can trade Steamboat Willy on KaZaA Lite all day long and not break any laws, it won't give us the right to remake movies with Mickey playing the part originally played by Ron Jeremy.
AS far as your 'markets win on selection and service' goes, i don't buy that. The service from an internet store or a B&M store is about the same. Selection is about the same as well (i can find anything locally, either at a chain or mom and pop store). Price is the only reason i shop online.
Every esoteric little book reviewed on slashdot can be purchased at a store locally to you? You can find the latest revision level of GigaByte's latest & greatest Athlon motherboard within a 60 minute drive?
Back to my point: People will be willing to invest in getting their asses on the web only if there's something that will save them money or make their lives simpler.
You really believe that? I think most ppl are getting on the web for AOL Instant Messanger.
Well, I figured that if you believe that raising taxes that people pay will help people,
OK, and where did I say that?
Or an easier question... where did I say "this article is about collecting taxes already in place, not about government misuse of tax money"? (hint: my first post)

Gee, I'm also using a 12" PowerBook, and AOL!

Al (AI?) is OK in group situations, but one-on-one he fails the Turing test 9 times out of ten.

Yeah, what ever. "Free Duke Code"... four day old April Fools posts are so not funny...
SARS, anyone?
Here are some bench marks on my old Dell P200:
mozilla:
20 minutes ago I typed "slashdot.org/" in the address bar; still waiting for Moz to acknowledge that I'm not at google anymore.
phoenix:
In the same 20 minutes I've authored 3 anonymous posts marked "flaimbait", 2 marked "troll".

I ordered this.
I want my garage door, my mp3 player, and my whirlpool to know when I pull around the corner.
Perhaps more importantly, I want my infared gun turrent to start tracking my pursuers if I come speeding in...
No, someone told me it was 94.6%...
oh, bother.
It's a barrier-to-entry thing: if you don't know what Six Sigma is, he really doesn't want to hear from you :-)

After a whole lot of unathorized "going in", everthing will be "coming out" with a lot less effort.
Sure, the story is a dupe... but the original one is why I picked up two computers that were sitting on the curb this morning :-D
