Then, I start to think about the I-Opener. A modem. No ethernet.
I-Opener has one USB port (contrary to a false rumour, you can add another if you like surface mount soldering). The USB can be adapted to ethernet if you like. The caviat here is that Netpliance does not support any of the above, even thought the hardware does (kinda).
You can check the latest progress on I-Opener hacking here, including the processor upgrades up to K6-III 333 AFK (it is an OEM chip, Fry's has tham all).
The point is well taken that it does not seem like the manufacturers want to enable this capability, even if it is sitting there waiting to be activated. Kinda disappointing.
Since it seemed obvious from the outset that this Judge is as cluefull about electrical devices as, say a strict traditional Amish man (no offence to any of that faith reading this), how do you propose to convince the appeals court that *we* should be able to: use our choice of decoder, running in our choice of legally obtained operating system, running on our choice of legally obtained computer, with our choice of legally obtained playing device, playing our legally obtained DVD? It seems that is the issue here, not the political motivation of Emmanuel, or anybody else for that matter.
If the question looks long to you it is because, to me, it looks like legal stuff I have had to read in the past;-)
Like I said, it was "back in the day" like 14 years ago or so.
The point that I failed to make was that real programmers keep telling me that the different programming languages are impacted, naturally, by the language of the creators.
Back in the day I was forced to take a Pascal class. I was told that Pascal was created by French programmers anf that is why "it is the way it is".
I found it to be a major pain, but some folks like it. Anyway, from what the CS majors and professors said, the language of the programming language inventor has a big impact on the way it is structured.
1. This is about Yahoo!France, not Yahoo! and the difference is pointed out in another thread above.
2. The US, as pointed out in a previous post, has tried and convicted a person on criminal gambling charges even though the man and his business (and his servers) were all located in a country where gambling is legal.
However, the conclusions you draw are somewhat accurate. Other than a French fine of Yahoo! or taking Yahoo.fr out of their domain space, it does not look like France could really do anything to the parent company.
Also, you may have inadvertantly touched on the most effective way of shutting down a major web site such as Yahoo! If the French army invaded the corporate and technical offices of Yahoo! the administrative staff would be overwhealmed by the droves of surrendering French, unable to continue their duties the entire organization would grind to a hault from the bottom up.
I too want to see an in-house built server here at work. Unfortunately, I would never get the funding to set it up myself nor do I think that my department will even buy a stand alone server for what is needed (it will be a dual processor FreeBSD box).
However, since I am building a similar machine for a much harsher environment (my Jeep), it may have a prayer of happening.
I guess that was a long way of getting to the point that these guys would never go for a new server because they are just not familiar with how inexpensively they can be put together. Once the concept is proven on my own dime then, maybe, we will get approval for a dedicated, built in house, server for this database.
Anyway, I agree with you, the best way is to build it yourself.
Sounds like Philly is using a stripped down version of Chicago circa 1968. Would that make it picoDaley;-)
BTW, that was the Democratic national convention in Chicago, 1968. (yes, when I was a kid I got to watch it on local TV as it happened, did not have to wait for the history spin machines)
Just because C|Net does not have a clue and their reporters/editors can't figure out context certainly does NOT mean that the list needs to be closed.
If you look past the headline (if you can) there is a wealth of information in the orgs that are whining, i.e., look them up by person (not firm) that is whining and add that to your list of idiots that you no longer deal with. Second, look at the firms, submit resumes to the managers of the idiots complaining (to replace the idiots doing the complaining).
If this makes no sense, either the Fosters flowed too much or you need to go back over it;-)
You do have that pesky "delete and install" problem itself.
I am trying to figure out what I want loaded on the 16 Meg SanDisk of a new I-Opener, scheduled for major surgery soon for a vehicle app, always powered always on, but using SanDisk for emergency disk.
Trying to figure out what to load there and looking at issues like future upgrades (SanDisk is not infinately re-writable).
Anyway, in general, I like fixing the mess from a delete/reinstall much less than the mess from an upgrade.
OK, either your friend filled you full of BS and you bought it, or... well let our imaginations wander.
I went there with my girlfriend and my son. I have a clearance, they don't. Nobody checked our ID or anything. We were in her vehicle so "dreaming" a background check out of the temporary tag number and somehow linking it to me won't work.
Anyway, just go to NSA HQ, make a left, drive past the Shell station (there is one across from the CIA too, as well as one down the road from Station C at Remington?warrinton, VA, go figure), anyway, just past the Shell gas station you will find the museum. Walk in, sign the book or not (I think I signed in as Kevin Mitnick, but don't remember). Walk around, look at the desplays, ask the guides questions, play with an Enigma hands on, have phun!
Why is the NSA the ONLY military facility that i have ever been to where the "no pictures" areas are left to one's imagination?
When the Airforce does not want you taking pictures or even having a camera, they say so on big signs everyplace. So do the Army and the Navy, but no not you guys.
So, what gives? If you don't want pictures taken, wouldn't a gate or a sign be easier than stopping people and jotting down their ID?
Jon, I have agreed with you on many issues, but here I have to say you just seem to hate "guy stuff".
I have yet to see the movie (yea, flame on, but that is a different set of mutants (Fantastic 4)), but your whole criticism of the movie is that "the man" ruined the comic strip? Combined (or is that Columbined?) with the criticism of why the Mutants are kicking butt (Congressional legeslation).
Jon, it is a movie! Just a movie! You fail to mention how hot the chicks are and how stuff gets blown up, 2 of the 3 B's of great movie making (Bombs, Bullets, Babes). The 3 B's are what counts, it sounds like it has them and I am going to see it a couple of times before it gets to video. When it is on video, I can stare at freeze-fremed Rogue and Storm for hours on end, as well as replaying explosions and stuff over and over.
You missed the stuff about chicks in Scream!3 and you missed it here. Perhaps you need to work on your movie review skills? Perhaps you should have reviewed the script instead, since you read very well, you just miss the important stuff, like stuff blowin' up and bein' shot and hot chicks.
BTW, hope your book is going good, congrats on that deal again!
I remember something about data destruction from the cypherpunks list a few years ago. Releasing some sort of acid that will wash the platters clean, suspending the media in solution and completely destroying the data.
The acid in question was not harmful to skin, thus avoiding charges of a "terrorist device" from Thermite or some more dangerous substance. (make that avoiding reasonable accusations of)
Sounded good, if one of you real chemists can point this in the proper direction it would be appreciated.
BTW, do any Brits think it is a gross breach of sovereignty to have foreign bases in the UK? I mean, how would Americans feel if foreigners set up a military base here? Maybe there are foreign bases in the US and it's just a NATO thing...
Ahem... Yes, it is beyond "just a NATO thing", but a common thing anyway. The Gremans have aviators stationed at Dulles Airport, in Northern VA. Other countries have joint operations units stationed throught the USA: Singapore in TX, CA and MI(?), Japan in TX.
All I could think of this moment, but it is pretty common.
I do not remember the refrence and did not see one in the responses, but, I remember France announcing several years ago that they were going to use their intel infrastructure for industrial intelligence.
Perhaps this is just a spinoff, i.e., tactic within the french intelligence community to obscure their own actions?
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past century, you should realize by now that every organization (gov or not) with intelligence gathering power shares info with their "friends". This is nothing new and it will never go away.

Also try different nation codes and whatever the .ny.us thingie is for Middle Island, NY.

1. Anything like what france is doing is stupid.
2. what the American did was LEGAL where he did it so he should not be bothered.
3. anybody that thinks otherwise is probably a Fed that does not know jack about what freedom is all about
