We have similar problems of our own in this country called the united states of america. Yesterday I was at the library and when I tried to get to www.everything2.com, it was blocked by their censorship program. Yay. At the public school I attend we are not allowed to use chatrooms on the internet. If I have a question and search engines(and not to mention my teachers) aren't answering it for me, I am not allowed to ask the professors around the world that the internet is supposed to give me access to, for fear of pedaphiles raping me or some bullshit. Thanks america.
First - The author of the parent comment DIDN'T FUCKING SAY that these people are carrying pure hydrogen on them. Observe his SECOND LINE : "These fuel cells are going to get their hydrogen from liquid fuels like gasoline, or diesel."
Second - Why not just shoot the soldier? BECAUSE if said soldier is among 10 other soldiers and a bullet hits him in the head, he dies, no one else. If it hits him in a tank of methanol, the above stated 10 soldiers WILL FUCKING BURN YOU RETARD.
Third - Please shut the fuck up. This is very cool tech and the parent poster was pointing out a perceived flaw. You tried to correct him and on every point and failed.
(Yes, even the third, nationalist, point about your total faith in the US Army!)
you are limited to 15k/sec upload.. it is horrible horrible horrible, but still the same price as an ISP/seperate phoneline (its $40) so I can't complain.
Aren't you a person who owns a computer? Jeez you must make lots of money. I wish you would be stipped of all of your worldly possesions, and be forced to live in poverty for a few years, maybe afterwards your sense of reality can be re-adjusted.
Yeah. Sure. Don't you realize that wealth is just jealousy? I garuntee you that your possesions are more entertaining, more comfortable, than anything kings had thousands of years ago. Think about it. Most of us have cars, TVs, etc. etc. Imagine being somewhere without a lightbulb yet still be considered a king; why? Because you have more than anyone else. Because of jealousy. Blah blah blah blah blah etc. etc. etc.
You could get every single game every team plays for FREE. No longer will this be possible. Btw, the MLB was getting paid for what you listened to "free." Radio stations publish ratings and beleive me they include internet users. For a radio station to broadcast a game they have to pay the MLB based on ratings. This is just an example of a giant compan.. blah blah blah blah if you don't get the point by now do yourself a favor and end it,your life, now.
broadcast games on the internet. Believe me, radio stations report internet listeners when it comes time to sell ads. Radio stations pay the MLB(or whatever the hell it is) based on their ratings, and internet users were already counted in their ratings. Basically MLB is taking away radio station's ability to broadcast their station on the web. If you live somewhere where a team you like is not on the radio, you used to be able to stream a radio station from somewhere where the game WAS on the radio. The MLB sees that many people miss out on games so they figure they will charge $10 for something that was free (and as the radio stations pay the MLB based on ratings, it was already paid for at a regular rate, now the MLB is just abusing its power to get every buck it can possibly get).
Wow, you had a radio that happened to have the game on! CLEVER! But does this magical radio have every game that is currently being played? The internet used to, and the whole fucking point of this article, pretty soon it might not have any.
Well it wasn't funny so I'm going to assume it wasn't a joke. What kind of magical radio do you have that can pickup any baseball game? The only reason people use internet radio is to listen to games that aren't broadcast in their area.
Which hurts your neck more, staring straight at a screen all day, never moving your head, only your eyes, or going outside and looking all around you, constantly moving your head as it was made to do? I could see your point if this were a VR helmet we were talking about and it was heavy.. but come on. Btw, I understand that you were making a joke.. it simply wasn't funny so I'm not treating it as such.
No one said you had to use it, nor was that the argument. The argument is that parents who are lazy and don't attend their kids see using the filter as a method of being good parents while really what is "offensive" is determined by a 3rd party.
They are just charging for the bandwidth used to send out the copies. You can pay to download a copy and set up your own mirror if you want. At least a mirror of anything GPLed in their distro.
This idea is heavily needed but I can't help laugh as my compaq persario (circa 1994) came with a little program that did everything you just described. Not only that but when the phone would ring you could click answer and there would be a slight pause as the computer determined whether it was a fax or a phone call (fucking awesome feature for people who don't have a fax/voice line). Anyway, if anyone begins work on a frontend like this make sure to include said feature.
You can't patent something that has prior art. The point of this article being posted on slashdot? Why I beleive it is so hundred's of posters can get (+5 Insightful) for saying "HAR HAR MY CHECKBOOK SI PRIOR ART!/"
If someone has already used that business model YOU CAN'T PATENT IT. I realise your post was a joke but please understand the subjects you are joking about. People have been sueing over patent infringement for years, maybe, just may... WAIT A MINUTE DID YOU EAT MY BREAKFAST PANTS?
You are thinking of the story last week comparing MS SQL (7.0?) running on NT and win2k. It was not a fair comparison. If you benchmark some of the same routines on 7.0 on the NT box and 2k on the win2k box, you will see that win2k is not as slow as they claim. However we still need a benchmark between the two that uses none of 2k's new features. My guess is the speed would not be the 50% loss that was had on win2k.
I think you missed the point. Moore's Law will not allow for this to take place based on relative theory. When will you people understand Moore's Law???????

They need to get nVidia to create drivers for bsd.

I clicked on that site's link to the bandwidth chart for @home, have a look yourself. Very "helpful" indeed.

15k/sec.. 15k/sec! It sucks

The whole point of this article is that streaming sites like the above link will be blacked out during baseball games.

Thats funny because no PS2 games are DVDs (as of right now...) if they were load times would be horrible as the drive reads CDs much much faster.

This will not be started until phase 2 is complete. Please get your facts straight.

When faced with a moral dilemma the best course of action is to LIE and DECEIVE. Yeah, thats a great course of action.. FOR ME TO POOP ON.
