ZeoSync intentionally randomizes naturally occurring patterns to form entropy-like random sequences through its patent pending technology known as Zero Space Tuner(TM). Once randomized, ZeoSync's BinaryAccelerator(TM) encodes these singular-bit-variance strings within complex combinatorial series to result in massively reduced BitPerfect(TM) equivalents.
So they claim, if it isn't random enough, they make it MORE random first so their compression can work better. OOoohKay...
How long until those ROM images start floating around the various P2P networks where they can't be simply "removed"?
It's not quite like your thinking...

Electronic Paper
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I've seen this stuff on TV. If this is what I
am thinking of, it's not really "electronic" in any way,
but more electronically generated. It's
nothing more than reusable paper that still
needs to be "printed on" by means of eltromagnetic fields.
Essentially what they've done is taken a laser
printer and replaced the toner with pixels that
are embedded into the paper. That's it.
Nancy is aiming to displace MPEG-4 in applications that demand limited code space and extended battery life.
It's a low power (power=not much cpu required) designed for mobile devices.
The codec will run "even if CPU power is not high," said Kato. "A 50-Mips CPU can compress and decompress video at 30 frames per second with QCIF [176 x 144-pixel] resolution [using Nancy].
QCIF is a postage stamp, don't get excited... my freakin webcam can do that type of compression right now, this acheives a smaller size I'm guessing. As far as quality is concerned, I don't think thats the main focus.
Their goal is real-time, and low power cpu, and perhaps low bitrate... not highest quality, lowest overall size (MPEG4/DivX, etc)..
No, you're wrong there. Read up on the facts. Some IPS with the @Home tag use @Home for the email, and webhosting, but not for network feed. AT&T is one of them. Other ISPs have made backup arrangements.
Seems your @Home hosted pages might go down indefinately but AT&T claims no connectivity outtages no matter what happens.

but ZoneAlarm Pro will. It detects any app that tries to bind to a port or connect to the internet that hasn't previously been given permission to do so. The second this supposed "key logger" tries to send out it's payload, an alert comes up and it halts until it's been either approved and denied. If it's denied that's it, it can never send anything out on the network again.
And there's no way that the goverment can force them to make it "Not Work" cause it's not signature based.
The same goes for heuristic based scanners that look for malicious code.
As previously mentioned, it doesn't work for console windows, and as I just found out, it does wierd things to media player... aww, no alpha-blended video overlays:-( (yet anyhow).
What we really need is an option to lock a windows draw order to the front, but send it's click focus to the back (or normal layering).
This is extremely useful for apps that I want to use as "window decals", like resource meters, winamp, AIM, etc.. I want them overlayed onto my screen. BUT. I dont want them to have click focus, cause then they get in the way of the foreground app. I want them draw over everything, so I can see them, but I rarely need to interact with them. If I do, I just bring them to the foreground (click focus) like I would do normally.
I used to work for a small OEM and VAR company. I recall once they were taking an RMA on a largish comapaq server from TX. When it arrived the package was so badly damaged that you couldnt remove the drives, the case so too bent. I don't remember which shipping company managed to do this, but it was definately FUBAR'd. And there we were talking about a $10,000 server.
This is dumb. You'll end up paying three times as much to develop this thing. Just go buy an ultraportable, like the Thinkpad X22... no drives built in, weighs barely anything... runs anything you want, and hell, you can even get it with linux pre-installed.
Pick up the home version of Dance Dance Revolution (for PS1 or Dreamcast). Very fun, excellant excersize. Many a geek have lost LOTS of weight after playing that for a while. Someone is bringing it to the next LAN party I'm attending so I might be able to burn off all the extra Mt. Dew calories I consume;-)
If it wasn't for slackware I wouldn't have know how simple and elegant the whole system is. After the kernel it basically comes down to system binaries and rc scripts, thats it.
With slackware, I was able to poke, prod, and tweak everything about the system to do anything I wanted.
Installing new software usually consists of:
wget somesite.com/release.tar.gz
tar -xzvf release.tar.gz
cd release ./configure
make
make install
And I was HAPPY with that... it was cool, and I didnt have to wait for an RPM to show up, I could easily use pre-final release software, and configure the build options to whatever I want. If the build didn't work, I went in and tweaked the make file or even the source to get it to compile.
But now with SO MANY shared libs and other dependencies, it gets to be a major pain in the ass to get one package then have to go get 15 other libs to get it to work. RPM solves all that, and I've come to accept binary distributions as making sense
Times have changed I think.
But if you still want to work with linux at the lowest level (excellant for learning) go seek out the Linux From Scratch (LFS) project. It's where you take a kernel and assemble your own distribution from scratch, making it work how YOU want it to, sort what slackware did for me back in the day.
Perhaps you chose the wrong kernel configuration, left out USB keyboard support perhaps? Don't blame the kernel for your inability to configure your system. Besides... 2.5 with be a DEVELOPMENT branch... less stable, not more so. Think before you post.

Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaporware...
The content providers (and RIAA and MPAA) would love to see a sealed-box platform, with digital rights management much harder to defeat.
Yeah, "much harder", but not impossible. Might take 6 weeks instead of 6 minutes. Wheeee!Actually the encryption has ALREADY been broken.
Not to mention this same story has ALREADY been posted. Shouldn't authors be subject to their own lameness filter?

Standards at last!
I coulda sworn I read "both hacked by major music labels" and I thought whoa, now that's different...

Glad to be an AT&T customer =P

Doesn't that make more sense?
Or a peice of my software to my mine ;-)
Still too damn expensive for what it does I think.

Hmm, on second thought... MOST of those things are broken. They all have "target=new" at the end... you guys really need to proofread this stuff.
slashdot's for INTELLIGENT people. Now go back to your hole.

You need to fix the link to kbuild on sourceforge. =)
