I invested in a company called Entertainment Arts after they announced just recently that they are in a partneship to use holography technology for gaming and entertainment. I think this is a viable product for the future but I have little understanding of where the industry is at right now. The company they are partnered with is called ATL corporation?
Here's a clip from ETAI 's press release on ATL: ATL's proprietary holographic technology projects live, real-time, full color, 3-D images out from the display unit into a region of space between the observer and the unit. The image moves in an empty space to the unit and can be viewed by any number of people. A high resolution image can be projected in reduced scale onto a table/desktop or life-sized onto a stage. The image source can be computer-generated animations, 3-D scans of real objects or live and/or produced video feed of actual people and events.
I'm know Linux junkie, but I would like to setup a linux box and have addons that are easy to do. A year or so ago I installed a base Red Hat 6.0 install on a box and I tried with no avail to install PHP & MySQL. It was very confusing for me and the lack of centralized information sources for help made me give up. <BR>
It sounds like this distro could be something like I need. An easy way to add on products and lock down the box for linux non-experts??
I think I read somewhere that IPv6 would include more information about the host, so that it would be easier to trace back? I can find it if your interested, it involved some of the additional extension headers.
Good to know. The information I was reading up on came from Sun Microsystems and just basically stated that the Extensions for IPv6 options could have Fragmentation and Reassembly under that extension.
Could you give a breif description on what ICMP is and how it works? If not, any clues on where I can read up on this?
Actually I got this from a Sun Microsystems article and this is how they put it:
IPng supports addresses which are four times the number of bits as IPv4 addresses (128 vs. 32). This is 4 Billion times 4 Billion (2^^96) times the size of the IPv4 address space (2^^32). This works out to be:
340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211, 456 This is an extremely large address space. In a theoretical sense this is approximately 665,570,793,348,866,943,898,599 addresses per square meter of the surface of the planet Earth (assuming the earth surface is 511,263,971,197,990 square meters).
As far as compatibility goes, they (Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)) have really worked hard on making a solid set of standards for this. The Sun.com resource I posted goes into pretty good detail on how this will all come together. Before reading this article, I was totally under the impression that the ONLY need to go to IPv6 was due to lack of IPv4 addresses but that is not the case at all. IPv6 has a ton of nifty add-ons as far as the extension headers and the size of this new header is really only about twice the size of the IPv4 header. The new extension header includes:
Routing - This is considered Extended Routing which is based somewhat on the IPV4 source routing steps.
Fragmentation- This will allow headers to be fragmented and be able to reassemble itself back together.
Authentication- This will include integrity and authentication checks to enable better security over the IPV4 standard.
Encapsulation- This also deals with security and enables the packet to be kept Confidential.
Hop-by-Hop Option- this will allow hop-by-hop processing.
Destination Options- Optional information that will be examined by the destination node.
Also some cool facts: The issue of the number of addresses availible for IPv6 works out to be around: 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,45 6 addresses. And this breaks down to about 1,500 IP addresses for each square meter on the surface of Earth and that an estimated fifteen percent of the address space for IPv6 would be used in the initial switchover from the old standard to the new standard. -Gregg
I have been working as well on a site much like teacherreview.com. I think that Ryan's (Creator of Teacher Review) site is laid out in such a way that it gives somewhat of fairness to teacher's and students. Students reporting on Teachers is a valid resource and one that is truely needed in this day and age.
When I choose what classes I want, I make damn sure that I ask around and find out what other students think of other teachers. Anyone that has been in any public collge can relate to some of the nightmares students have had with certain teachers. I look at this site as bringing word of mouth reviews to the web and I know it would be a great resource for my school. I think in all fairness that students should have a say in who to take because it is THEIR education and they are PAYING for this. We have a choice as students and more power to Ryan & TeacherReview.com.
I think this shines the light on Great Teachers and helps students find those great teachers. Pending this lawsuit's outcome, I will deploy my site for my school.
Good luck Ryan, TeacherReview and thanks to the American Civil Liberties Union for helping him out in this time of need. The outcome of this case might very well shape the future of the Internet!
If anyone knows of anything I can do to help Ryan & his site out please let me know.
Also thanks to the Great Teachers that are out there.

Long live Austin companies... or what's left of them. If you have any openings, I'd be glad to move back to Austin!
Good luck and keep up the good work.

Anyone have any more information on any of this?
Zebra imaging looks very impressive!
Thanks!
How in the world could you play that with a console control?

They are using NT. Most of the site is done in ASP I believe...

If this link on that page is technology then we are all in trouble. Change that url for Richochet.
