    This seems like a very difficult proposition in our networked world. Has there ever been a service that facillitates true anonymous publishing of digital works?

    Sign up for a $GENERIC_FREE_HOMEPAGE account using a fake name. Afraid they might log your IP? Do it from a net cafe or something. Post anonymously to slashdot. Watch mirrors pop up around the world.

  2. Immortality? I don't thinks so on Putting Your Brain into A Computer · · Score: 1

    Just because there's a copy of you doesn't mean you don't die if you die. The copy survives, but that doesn't help you since you're dead.

    If you create a copy of yourself, and I kill/destroy the copy, you won't feel anything, likewise, if the copy reads an interesting discussion on slashdot, you won't know about it, and if you read the discussion, the copy won't know about it.

    This will not change if you die, i.e. your consciousness won't magically float from your dead body into your until now independent copy.

    Now go listen to Mr. Garrison: "Dead, dead, dead, someday we'll all be dead".

    Yes, this FreePad is DECT - but GPRS is truly mobile. I didn't say that the FreePad used GPRS. If it did, it would be a lot more interesting, but then GPRS isn't in use yet except at one BSC (Base Station Controller) at T-Mobil in Germany, I think.



    I'd prefer a real notebook though. Those Vadem Clio WinCE boxes they recently ported Linux to will be nice, too, at least when they get an X server running on it.

  11. There's nothing revolutionar about the G4 on The G4 and Apple's Second Coming · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but the G4 is nothing new. It's like the transition from 68k to PPC to G3 - it's even less revolutionary than the transition from 68k to the PPC. It's just Moore's law as usual.

    The iMac was groundbreaking, yes. OS X was something new too. But the G4 is just another new computer faster than older computers - we've seen it for many years now, and no marketing will make a computer with a faster processor revolutionary.

    Now, I was gonna tell you the address, but I guess since the holy Commander Taco sez not, I guess this isn't a full disclosure forum. Though someone will probably tell you anyway.

    Anyway, I've been told they they use "Microsoft Passport" and that's whats been cracked. Why didn't they just leave it as it was, since they've already failed to move it to NT? Are they still trying to move it to NT, or do they use it because they have to feel they're using at least some MS s/w?
