if they would market a couple of portable MP3 players that could stream right from one of these. Not only mp3 players, but anything that requires portable storage.. digital cameras with video, etc.
I worked with a company that partnered with Covad a few years ago. With any past partner, you wish them the best, and hope they do well as a company.
But the reason (well, one of the many) reasons they went bankrupt in the first place was the old problem known as 'the last mile'. In the DSL world, the telco still has to be involved. So, how can a company like Covad, basically a reseller, expect to survive against the telco selling DSL themselves?
Considering the very limited processors in game consoles back then compared to the computer power in todays gaming consoles, the programmers back in those days were true Code Poets. I mean, they did some amazing things with their limited resources.
You should check with your local city building code before doing this. While most places won't have a problem with it, in the village where I live (Chicago area, ~30,000population) any in-wall piping is required to be metal conduit. This is done for fire safety reasons regardless if it is electrical wiring inside or not. Just something to consider.
I would have to say that the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne was my first real experience with science fiction. The book is set in 1866, I have no idea when it was written. I could probably find out on google, but I am lazy. Anyway, it was written before there were submarines around. Plus, it was a great book.
Ok ok, it sounds like a joke (or a troll even), but seriously.. think about it. How many cons sitting on Death Row wouldn't love to go into the history books for being the first person on Mars. Tell them up front: 'Look, you are gonna die by lethal injection in 10 years, why not help the world and be famous by dying on Mars?' He could be trained to send back data as he goes in, and maybe, after a few dozen or so cons have been, we can get one to survive on the planet surface for awhile.
Seriously.. this isn't a troll. It sounds crazy, but as long as we are killing people, we might as well get some use out of them. And I am sure quite a few death row inmates would rather be remembered for helping mankind get to mars than for killing a few people in a convience store robbery.
I don't know.. maybe I just haven't had enough coffee yet this morning.. just an idea.
Think article over at NewForge sheds some light on this. According to them, they feel they can make a fair share of money from Linux. While we are all congratulating IBM on their Open Source move, what might be happening is: They are selling Linux and getting free development work from the Open Source community. It's a creative way to cut back expenses.. just Open Source your work, and get it developed for free.
In another of Stephenson's books "Snow Crash" they had similar clothes. The chick in that book could turn on or off her brightly colored clothes. The mafia guys could turn off and on their bright yellow MAFIA (i think it was mafia) logos on their jackets.
I have been following this idea since reading that book over a year ago. zzz.com.ru runs odd stories about various things, including a few on LED fabrics in the past.
I have a cell phone. I have a desktop. I have a server, and I have a portable MP3 player. I have a truck. I have a bike, and I have a muscle car.
I say that, to say this: I did not buy an El Camino. I bought a truck, and I bought (well, restored) a muscle car.
The same goes for my desktop and server. I did not buy an over powered dual-NICed desktop to also be my server on a dsl line. I bought a desktop, and a dsl line to connect to, and a Ultra Sparc in a colocated rack at a local ISP.
In the same sort of thinking, my cell phone doesn't play MP3s, although it can surf the web, I have never even bothered to try it.
To the average consumer, a phone should be a phone, first and foremost.
Features are good if they are free, but forcing me to pay twice the price for useless stuff I would never use, just makes me spend my money at another company.
A friend of mine had sent out a mass email about the ATA telling all of his friends to "Sign this, we have to protect our kids!", yet it did not mention the actual text of the Act at all. Our government is using fear to pass laws, simple as that. The question really comes down to: Do you want to feel safe, or do you want to be free? Personally, I stand by Patrick Henry "Give me liberty, or give me death." The sad thing about it, most Americans don't care enough to read up on the acts they are signing petitions to support.
This is exactly like a tarpit. Tarpits don't instantly trap all T-Rexes everywhere in the world. A tarpit will trap the one T-Rex that got a little too close. If there are thousands of tarpits in the world, then a lot more T-Rexes will get trapped. I don't think the author of LaBrea aims to have his program stop all worms on the internet, but if it were to be run on a few thousand machines, it would certainly help.
Or you could just try to OC your voodoo2 3000 to 140mhz and fry your primary IDE channel and loose half your ide sockets AND your AGP socket in your brand new 1.33G athlon system... happened to "a friend of mine". yeah, that's it.
I don't think we will see many such missions (if any) until there is corporate money to be made. If there was some mineral or something of great value that can't be had on earth, then I think you would see space exploration really take off. Until then, it's just going to be done as NASA (and few select others) get the money to do research. If the corporate world would get behind something like this, then we really +would+ see cool things start to happen.
Well, take it for what it is worth, but the Today Show is claiming that both planes were hijacked. Like Taco said, the only size of the planes being reported is 'big'. But if they really were hijacked, that usually implies they were pretty good sized planes.
I +can+ see a difference really, but how do you know that the port scanners are doing it maliciously either? (Granted most are, but not everyone.. they might be running some type of survey on unsecured Red Hat boxen for a university paper (it could happen)). And I understand about the technology being new and how security needs to be tightened while it still can be, but my point was: I don't think someone should be looked up to for doing something so near to something that someone else is looked down on for. If that makes any sense.
When some guys get in their car and drive about looking for open wireless networks, they have an article posted about how they are pointing out such great problems. It is even implied (at least to me) that these guys are helping spread the word about wireless network security. Yet, when someone does the exact same thing over a wired network, it's called Port Scanning and they are labelled 'script kiddies' and are cursed and thought of a less-than-human. I don't understand it. (This is not a troll, or meant as a flame, just my thoughts on the matter.)

And what's even scarier, CoreDump sits right behind me at work.. I think its time to brush up on my resume!

Personally, I do not like RPGs at all, from Zelda through the latest Final Fantasy, just not my thing.
But! Rad Racer is still one of my favorite games.

This is not to be confused with Dan Quail's new release of Debian, which is potatoe.

This could be really cool, IMHO.

For a more detailed version of this same type, see the Honeynet Project. Knowledge is power, as the saying goes.
Symantec has an article on Code Blue. This might not be it.. but it's a lot like it from what I can tell.

The BBC has a report saying that the tally so far is six are confirmed dead, and over 1000 injured. This is, of course, very early yet.
