I concur. Paulos' books are fascinating. Teaching kids how to apply math properly and how to spot misuse of math is as important as anything else.
That said, I would caution a teacher against suggesting any of his books to students. His latest book is "Irreligion: A Mathematician Explains Why the Arguments for God Just Don't Add Up." That one might get a few parents' underwear in a bunch.

Seriously, if this were part of your search results as a heads up of what to avoid I can see it being quite valuable. But, short of research or bad intentions... why do i want to find live malware?
I've often wondered if the bloat in modern games is somewhat intentional as a deterent to piracy. If a game is 96k (or 300 megs for that matter) it is easily moved, stored, downloaded etc. whereas a game that is 4Gb takes much more effort, bandwidth and energy.
We were based in Canada so no direct relation, although we made a TM application in the U.S. We were granted exclusive use of the name as a band in the end as it related to our back material (2 albums, 1 a major label release in Europe). We had made DC aware of our reasons for attempting to secure the name and its possible they went after others. We were aware of at least 3 bands at the time with the same/similar names.
Yep... these boys dont mess around. I played in a band for several years called "boywonder" and when a band of the same name surfaced, we naturally went after trademark rights. DC Comics were quickly on us requesting that any product with the use of the name be sent to them for examination citing infringement.
We had released two albums under the name and they were very good about finally allowing us continued use of the name after about 8 months but, unfortunately, we had already changed names given a CD release and tour hanging over our heads.
I, for one, have been too busy eating crow to post. I am quite happy to admit being proven wrong. From all reports coming in today, these two guys have done a great job.
Very good point. This also brings up the question of how eerily reminiscent this is to an experience in Saudi Arabia. This is the rough equivalent of a corporate network, where filtering software is commonplace. These marines are free to surf wherever they want on their home connections upon their return the same way I am free to when I get home from work. Blocking specific traffic to US forces overseas based on a political agenda maybe be contentious (if its even true) but hardly the same as the censorship of an entire country.
Each chapter also provides significant details about the internals on how each application operates. In addition, various 3rd-party tools that can be used to secure and limit the various applications are listed.
Awesome. Sounds like there is plenty of detail on applications and 3rd party tools. Can I also assume a considerable chapter on user education? We all know that there is always a way "around the flagpole"... its usually end users.
this is interesting to me given that they are quite clear and open about what you get for your money. Basically... you get a 4 cylinder engine that looks like and sounds like a 6 cylinder engine.
While I dont condone what they are doing... isnt it the guy who puts it in a box (or car) and sells it to you without disclosing the truth the real bad guy.
I didnt RTFA but... I thought that this was pretty much a moot point with the widening use of routers and NAT. A single external IP to your router that dishes out local network IPs to your coffee pot and your fridge and whatever else...
Can someone explain the value of IPv6 beyond that?
You make some excellent points here. I agree whole heartedly with you that the world is a better place today than any time in history. That said, haven't you agreed with part of his point? The world is advancing... the internet is young and maturing at an astrnomical rate. Future generations will surely look back on this as at least the "stone age" of the internet. Surely they will look back at broadband the same way we look at 2800 baud? Whether the age is "dark" is a different story.
In case what... that your completely wrong. Well not completely but a directory listing of my iPod_Control/Music provides me with the very usefull list of folders named F00 - F47.

I like it! But wouldnt that be a$$h47?
Or... have a listen to episode 33 of AstronomyCast. All about buying and using a telescope.
bum bum. Poopie, poopie, bum bum.
phew, thought I would miss my chance to get in on this.
i've got to ask, what's the origin of all thes internet = tubes comments?
No, no you dont.
I played with VirtualDesktop Pro for a bit. Does what it says. There is also a free beta program called Desktop manager that looks promising.

And, boy oh boy, its anything but penquin weather here. We get the extremes and its on the hot end of the scale right now.
Dvd jon ... start your engine.

You don't have to be a senator to know that the internet is, in fact, a series of tubes.

Im all for this happening but... has anyone looked at the photos? The screen is on top of the bottom right cornner of the machine.

Actually I heard that Opera was thinking of buying Microsoft.
Well... here and here off the top of my head.

LIFTOFF! come to me.

Thanks for clearing that up.
