    if you're not moving and a car hits you head on at 30mph, how would this "sensory equipment" (in your definition) work? your air bag does not record the speed of your car at the wheels it records the force of the impact on the bumper (front airbags). You can even disable this sensor (and your airbags in the process) rather easily, just look at any haynes manual.

    hahaha reminds me of a time i put a severely scratched cd inside a 16x drive only to have it shake the case violently. so i hit the eject button and the cd rose straight up out of the drive tray, flew at my coworker and then veered off to the floor. I didn't leave it in long enough for any marks, but it was warm to the touch. ahh fun times with broken hardware

    Then check out digger. Originally written in 1984 by a now defunct game company, this guy disassembled the game and rewrote it. I can't find any differences in the game play (I played it all the time as a kid on my 8088 *memories*). The person who rewrote the game tried to find the original writers of the game but came up with nothing.

    He motivated me to rewrite another one of my old favorite games, Pango... though I haven't got very far

  10. Re:GOOGLE could do it right now. Here's how. on Google Wins the Filesharing Wars? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Suppose one had a GoogleNut tool. You query Google for a song. Google then distributes this Query to all of its distributed servers and on each one launches a Gnutella/Kaaza search, then replys with the a link that when activated uses your Gnuttell app/plugin to download the file from the location it found.

    A simple HTTP GET request to the machine with the requested file is all you need.. no need to launch Gnutella or any other plugin

    ACTUALLY, they showed a demo of this on the today show (in NYC) back in 1991 or 1992 and they said it'd be on the market in 5 years. I eagerly waited around for its release in 97 and saw nothing. Its good to see that the idea was completely shelved :)

    Could the school get a license from an AntiViri company to cover all students, force everybody to run it as policy, script the updates...

    Yes and No. Unless the students agree to a school mandatory software policy then you're fine. Otherwise, McAfee offers a license to universities which allow all students and faculty to use virus scan software. At our school, everyone is urged to download the virus scanner though they are not required to (unless its a university owned computer).

    I stay far away from the dorms because everyone seems to use me for help (i'm a sucker and will usually help them), so I don't know how our school is standing up to the worm in the dorms.

    the fact that they connect to your machine to download the song is all they need. you shared songs. They have a snapshot of the files you shared along with a file or two or three that they received from your computer. They then sue you (or your parents or your roommate, whoever the isp has as the customer). Ignorance is no excuse for not learning the law.
