you dumb shit. Mac OS is dead not the other way around. MacOS 9 is the last MacOS that apple is going to ship. MacOS X is now totally unix -- dont like the new MacOS X interface ? too bad. you guys will have to adapt when your favourite OS ends up with a GUI thats different from any other Mac OS before it.
he's using sprites you flaming idiot. If you looked at prince of persia 2d, its small and has good graphics cos its 2D..*not* true 3D...this guy is using the same thing. I've seen much better stuff and far smaller stuff than his..its nothing great. If you look at novalogics voxel space 3D engine its far cooler and is already working.
Rather than getting paid it would be a helluva lot better if slashdot readers had a private username/password to the janes site to read the articles there. Some nice stuff goes on in Janes...and its a lot better than getting 10 bucks off them.
Compliments of the linux.com tuning guide : On a related note, you can also have your card use a different MAC address
ifconfig eth1 hw ether deadbeef0001 (this needs do be done while the card is down for obvious reasons)
now your card will answer all arp requests with DE:AD:BE:EF:00:01.
Note: The kernel performs this trick on most cards by setting the card into promiscous mode and using software to filter out all MACs that aren't yours which stands to reason it would be slightly slower than just using your real MAC.
Redhat crypto is a different product from Redhat Linux. They already do this and redhats crypto stuff is freely available on non us mirrors. ssh and others are non us products to begin with so they were imported into the US..not the other way around.
its not world domination..its just channelling out to a larger market. why shouldnt they ? everyone else does it too. And redhat is (lets face it) a normal boxed product.
get rid of the damn icmp echo. I get hit 4-5 times a week on my servers..when i did echo 1>icmp_echo_ignore_all in/proc they suddenly went silent. I guess having a machine with no echo response to icmp packets is pretty hard to find/portscan.
Having read most of the posts, these are my predictions : 2000+ will be the same as 1900+. Minor advances in rocket technology will take place, allowing a few astronauts to reach mars. Larger population growth and lack of resources will cause minor famines in various third world countries. A few nukes will be deployed in a minor war somewhere on the globe...which will be quickly squashed. Computer processing power and software bloat will cause progress to remain exactly the way it is. In short, the more things change, the more they remain the same.
RIPEMD-160 is a hash function not covered by patents. Its fairly trivial to convert it to an encryption system and/or public/private key style crypto..altho it might reference some anal patents if you did that. im not familiar with any others and have mainly used RIPEMD160.
no no no. once its exported in paper form and scanned in its in electronic form. You simply upload any changes you want provided youre outside the USA. They cant export in electronic form of course...but they do send their source to pgp international who scans it in and distributes it electronically.
yep. its probably due to the speed of the scrolling and the fact that you can refer back to stuff on paper fairly easily as compared to (say) scrolling back to point n on the screen (where n was 7 pages back). all my (reasonably) crash free programs have been printed out and stared at in the toilet or some other places.
PHBs would *always* pay for inferior software than use a free alternative. Also the same with the average person on the street..because you pay for it its intrinsically more valuable. gcc is far superior in terms of cross platform compiling than *any* commercial compiler and is at least as good as most commercial compilers in terms of performance. gcc code ia also smaller (last time i checked) than the ever so hyped MSVC++.
AFAIK, redhat has a lot of game packages shipped with the distro. i just dont bother installing em, but i assume large sections of the install (install X games, install bsd games etc etc) are devoted to games.
if the unix driver crashed unix, its unixes fault. This bullshit about "not doing it right" is plain stupid. You can never "do it right". Its the systems job to ensure that it has enough protection from your "not doing it right" to make sure it keeps working. NT usually BSODs even when drivers are not involved due to its memory leaks and other shit. Thats NTs fault. Any well engineered OS+compiler should handle the fact that everyone cant do everything right. gcc+stackguard detects and stops stack overflows from root shelling the system. thats a a compiler done right. java doesnt have pointers - thats a language done right. finally, theres a HURD type unix kernel - a microkernel that can recover from most driver crashes (drivers run as "servers"). Now thats a unix kernel done right.
NO. It cant hit planes. This thing is an EXO-atmospheric kinetic kill vehicle. EKKV's operate outside the atmosphere and attempts to reenter will burn them up. Besides, guidance at Mach25+ reentry speeds is pretty difficult. EKKV's are only useful for destroying satellites and warheads (decoys or actual warheads). Note that patriot antimissile defense systems in the gulf which were supposed to hit the scud warheads hardly ever did. They mainly hit the falling expended outer casings of the scuds after the scuds broke apart in the atmosphere (crap iraqi engineering) due to the fact the scud body shells were larger than the explosive warhead components...if the same thjing happens in a nuclear war, MAD is guaranteed.
Your 2048 or even 4096 bit key or any other type of key would not hold out against such a device. Quantum computer based crackers can break a 42 bit key as fast as a 512 bit key or even a 4096 bit key. They try all possible combinations in a massively parallel brute force approach.
This is a pretty old application. I remember the guy who inventing thinking machines corporation writing a program that taught itself to match colours...matching paint chips to actual paint is pretty difficult..this thing could do it automatically and "learnt" from its errors using a GA if im not mistaken. TMC is bankrupt now of course...
why dont they resurrect plants first ? I would think the medicinal value (more drugs etc) of plants which are extinct far outweighs the benefits of cloning a mammal or a dino.
yep. i'll second this one. No one is going to change the GPL and most open source authors are pretty wary of any additional clauses which weaken the GPL anyway. The GPL is good enough..why change it ?
i have. and i agree - the flamethrower things are better than shooting a carjacker outright..blinding or harming a person with a non lethal weapon is better than a clean kill.

you cant. pl files are executed on the server and results returned as a webpage.

if you tell the boss to fuck himself, he'll fire you. no second thoughts.
thats it. the commercial pressure to ship on time will kill most projects. the bugs are induced due to lack of enthusiasm and the time pressure.

nope. quantum computers can crack a 4096 bit key as fast as a 512 bit key.

heh. in practical terms the G forces involved would probably make this impractical at best.
