usually you have to buy "specialized equipment" that can go from access point to access point and still provide a cell coverage for an area. Traditionally access points are just added to a physicall network every so often, but with this you could canvass an etire area quickly using only wireless...very cool.
already slashdotted so I can't read it, but I assume that this means that I don't have to buy one of those fancy pants bridges to get a very large wireless network. I have wanted to build this with my friends to canvass an area around our university campus
me too. But then I read they're schedule and wrote to their help email about what I wanted OCW to become... here's part of the response: "... We are still in the pilot phase of MIT OCW. As we discover more about the challenges and possibilities of MIT OCW, the Web site and its course materials will continue to grow and evolve.... "
DRM will land softly on joe consumer. The latest craze will be on demand media on your home computer (it already is to some extent, but joe doesn't know much about ripping dvds etc.) Joe will buy some of this (movies streamed over internet, limited use media etc) because the ads look cool. It will be priced at some marketable breakpoint based on decent market research. The machine is larger than you think.
Maybe it won't go down like that but it seems likely from where I sit.
I'm certain that I'm not the only person who is asking why a community isp couldn't conceivably disconnect itself from UUNET et. al. and become another world (read national or perhaps multistate wide) "internet".
Recurring fees for you're bandwidth got you down too? well why can't we have an internet by the people for the people. Sure....it would be a mess and who's going to be ICANN
I had a friend who was putting together a two hour feature using only pieces of vhs tape from the floor of a CleanFlicks editing room. I don't know if he ever finished it, but if he does I'm gunna rip it and post an irrationally distasteful movie.
Even if the consumers know that it's edited, the rental place was not given license to rent anything but what the studio sold them, so it's wrong.
They get around this by calling it a private movie club and then charge "membership dues". In exchange they let you view x number of titles per month with addition dues charged for x+1 and so on.
You have to buy the video and take it to them to have it edited. They only edit copies already purchased.
Or you "join a club" that entitles you to "check out" (read "rent") so many titles per month with membership fees.... I know becuase I am a prude member of CleanFlicks
I remember a time just a few years ago when an article like this never could have been published. Its' funny to think that some people are just now getting introduced to Linux. I remember my first time.

Unless of course those microbes happen to have a very large appetite for human flesh and reproduction
;-)
You think AIDS is bad...what if AIDS could spread at any temperature as a spore?
This could make the alien microbes even more depressing
I feel safe knowing that we're not really bringing alien microbes to earth just yet

maybe we could give money to eff and tell them what it is for (ie I gift you this money to be used only for said nifty commercial)

anyway as another poster put it...give it time.
I'm very excited about this program
huh ... I must have no imagination...I can't think of anything that would be marketable
two ll's in NOVELL please
The speeling pulice need to whip you.
I dream of a day where ppl will speak an unambiguous language.
no you're not wierd. actually I was thinking that perhaps this is an alien space probe that was supposed to observe our planet
I don't mean this as a troll.

What if some people really do believe in the force though...I mean I kind of did when I was younger...
forgot the link sorry
I used a "

Its' like stealing from the city dump. It may be illegal but who's going to stop you.

I have to "me too"... it sounds like typical BSA lawyer thought process. Of course they're going to say no-click wrap == weak licensing
I can't believe that thing is still up (3:09 pm MST) WOW.

Didn't Bill Murray have one of these in Charlies Angels?
when reality dictates that there is an easier or more effective way to accomplish a goal than to follow standards, the hack wins in my book.
