(I was there too - I was the one that located him) - The best fun of this all was that he had a world-readable file in his homedirectory in which I found his PIN-code (password for cash-machines) and the name and address of his girlfriend. A simple search on google took me to a page where I found not only his home-address, work-address, accompanying phone numbers but also his picture. Knowing that and the terminal he was logged in from was enough to locate him IRL walking somewhere on the street.
OTOH...everybody now buys CD-RW-drives because CD-R drives are just not available anymore. Still most people only use CD-R media because it's cheaper. If this new format is to become the new standard for writers, we can probably expect all CD-RW-drives to be compatible with this new standard rather soon. Even if the media won't be a success, the drive most probably will be.
This seems like a perfectly good example of a technological solution being applied successfully to a sociological problem... Maybe Edwards' Law is more like a trite observation...
Maybe Edwards is right; how can they possibly know if there's no plagiarism anymore? I think the students have just taken more time to disguise their plagiarism...
Should't that be MTBC - Mean Time Between Crash? Not all failures cause a crash but often the system just doesn't do what you'd expect it to do. I think the real MTBF is a lot lower than that.
I figure you'd rather not want the root CA's to be in an open source product by default but rather get them from a more trusted source. Adding the root CA's by default would almost be as insecure as just using http instead of https since the source isn't as trusted as a company (like Netscape or Microsoft); way too many people have access to the source-code for the root CA's to be trusted in a way you would trust them when they came from Netscape or Microsoft.
Printing from a webapplication can be a problem. At least it was for me; I failed to find a reasonable way to print from MSIE without the stupid page headers. Another problem is that you cannot predict anything about the formatting on the server-side (unless it's plain text). So you will most likely need a client-side application (or print from the webserver).
I solved part of this problem by creating a new MIME-type for the page to print and then create a DOS-app which does `type %1 > lpt1:' which I associated with the MIME-type/extension.
This is not a very good solution. Maybe someone has expierience with this? Is it possible to use a Java-applet or something like that?

They're all the same. Sir, thank you for your intelligent opion, I really appreciate it but posting it just once would have been enough. Thank you.
Or maybe it was an Internet poll which tend to be rather biased because only certain people vote. In that case, the 95% might even be correct since (I assume) there are a lot more IQ>100-ppl than there are IQ100 on the Internet.

Go read http://www.starbridgesystems.com if you find this hard to believe. It's nothing really new and it's for real. But a 1000 times faster than a pentium 4 can most probably only be achieved on certain tasks. Probably tasks which can easily be done using dedicated hardware which can now be made instantaneous (difficult word) using these FPGA's.
These systems have already been available for quite some time from Star Bridge Systems and have already been featured on/. a few times (search for `Star Bridge Systems'). But they're still reaaaaally cool. There's a lot of information about them on the Star Bridge Systems website (see link above).
I think the only real reason that NASA is going to be `one of the first', is simply the fact that nobody seems to buy these things. Which is a pity. What's really REALLY sad, is that their claim to have a $1000 version available by now (link to/. article) is still vaporware.
The 4kHz is the reason normal modems won't go above 33k6 (56k6 requires 1 digital end on the connection). Since DSL has a higher speed than normal modems, I suppose the connections don't go throught the 4kHz filter but are multiplexed at a much higher frequency.
Why bother arguing about a definition everybody makes up for himself? `Alive' it something completely made up by humans and since there's no common definition, everybody has their own.
Now why would you want to bother trying to talk a household thermostat into a definition which you just make up on the fly? There's no point in saying `If a define A as being that, i can talk B into being A! Isn't that great?' No it isn't. There's no use. No offense to meant to you by the way; It's just that my Philosophy classes have learnt me just one thing: there's a lot of crap in Philosophy (but some good things as well).
Like the article which you've obviously not read, says: it boots MUCH faster. I think that's useful for regular Linux users. It's really useful if you want to make a diskless box that doesn't need a network to boot from, but that's maybe a bit less interesting for regular users.
Federal law makes it illegal to knowingly obtain unauthorized access to a computer.
That's what the article says, but I don't think this will ever stand; how can I know if I'm authorized to use/.?
I don't see how this could be different for any other protocol; I can access everything that's served over HTTP but cannot access NETBIOS shares? Bullshit! One can never know if something is shared on purpose, but I think it's fair to assume so.
Making this illegal, would definately change the Internet in a not so nice way; suddenly it can be illegal to browse around just a bit because you just cannot know if everything you see is shared on purpose.
Making a difference based on the protocols used is just plain stupid. I don't think this ShareSniffer thing is a good thing, but I sure hope it will not be made illegal.
Except - in the case knows it's father or mother - a clone will know exactly what it will look like in 20 years, maybe even which terrible deceases it will get. And for the father/mother, it's like the clone is you; the way one will threat a clone, will almost certainly differ from the way a normal clone is threated; it will most probably be pushed in a certain direction because there's a rather large chance of knowing where the clones' talents are. That is: if talents are genitically.
At the moment, this is the question with the most moderation points. The idea is truly good; I would most certainly use it, but I don't think this is a very interesting question for an interview; why don't you just mail ComboyNeal this request as explained in the FAQ?

You can't divide by b. It might be 0 and you can't divide by 0. Just solve the equation and find out that b=0, NOT 2=1.
