"That's why I have to reboot my Win2K workstation every week to keep the performance up to an acceptible level"
Probably because you run shit-faced programs?
My uptime right now is 112 hours which includes playing MP3s, using my tv tuner, developing some genetic simulators, playing 1942 battlefield and reading my email/browsing the web.
According to taskman I have the same # of ram used now as I did over four days ago.
And unlike the typical *nix box I am not just running a httpd server [I'm running IIS btw...]
I thought bashing MS was phase newb-h4x0r go through then get over?
Here's business 101.
If MS windows were not a desirable product why would so many people use it?
Hint: You may blame their shady practices but when it boils down to it people [e.g. the mass horde of end users] just like simple point and click setups. As further proof consider KDE, Gnome and all the other WM out there...
And since when is this news? So what? Some dork l33t-dudez thinks that giving a dis-award to MS will prove a point? How about they post decorating patterns for their parents basement. Seems like they'd know alot about that too!
CD 1x is the speed required to playback an audio CD. DVD 1x is probably something along similar lines. IIRC DVDs are nonimally encoded around 10Mbps which makes a DVD 1x roughly a CD 7.14x or so...
Of course I shooting from the hip here since I don't have any DVD specifications handy...
P2P has had little legitimate success. That's why P2P and piracy are related. Like knifes. You use them to cut things. It would hardly be a stretch to say "All knifes are meant to cut things" just like "All P2P clients are meant to distribute copyrighted work".
Certainly you can use a knife todo other things just like you can use P2P for other things. Problem is people only seem to want to use P2P for wrong things.
And its not like people can't share their ideas in other ways.
Care about freedom? Since when are you free to pirate copyrighted art in the states?
Also you have to realize that with P2P the minority take the majority of the bandwidth. If you're in a dorm with 2000 other students and say 50 of them are taking 95% of the bandwidth is that fair for the other 1950 students?
Ten bucks says five mins after he publishes it it will get broken.
"many-time" otp are quite nonsense. See the problem is people think that good ciphers can have security approaching the OTP. The OTP is an absolutely different type of security.
For instance, *no* ammount of time is sufficient to break an OTP without the key. Whereas a block cipher can be broken at least in theory.
I'd suggest to the original poster that he try to get his design published. When it gets horribly broken it will serve as a learning experience as how "not" to approach science.

No you don't, you have the right to not sign the contract though...

Thanks slashdot, just cuz I type fast... arrg!
Might want to spell your own URL correctly :-)

Tom
hahaha funny. Did you think of that yourself?
Tom
"P2P and free speach [sic]."
Why are these always used in combination? Pirating products is not free speech.
Tom
Why does tom care?
http://tom.iahu.ca
I give all my programs away whether for POSIX or Win32 platforms.
Tom
From what I read you can submit patches indirectly so you don't need to use BK to work on the projects.

So step down from your high horse tonto.
Tom
That's total BS. Passively blocking RF doesn't fall under FCC [or DOC for us cannucks] regulations. That's like saying basement cellars are illegal...
Besides they should really put these cages in movie theaters, busses, schools, computer labs....
Tom
So basically you admited [as an AC] you like to steal copyrighted material.
Dude you're a thief!
Tom
Don't normal disk drives [IDE] do that now anyways?
It wouldn't be a far stretch todo the same in a battery powered one.
Tom
I want to form a company that makes a cpu that translates x86 instructions on the fly to RISC instructions that operate in parallel.
I'll call my company transmeta!
Or in the words of that new dell commercial
"Sure we'll call it 1-800 they already do that!".
Tom
sure sure. Yeah, I was backing this up, my friends keep it for safe storage.
Or how about you not buy them then?
If the companies are so horrible, so evil, so mean, represent all that you loath, how about you *not* give them money?
Duh....
True but its definately not a selling point. Recall the consumers typically are not knowledgeable past CNN.
Its like Mc Al Qaeda [sp?] not a good name for a restaurant!
Tom
a battery that uses E.Coli to break down food.
Smart people, smart. I assume that either the case is indesctructable or that the strain of bacteria is modded to be harmless?

Since when do businesses have to cater to the whims of everyone else?
Just because you're blind doesn't mean I have to waste money testing my site against your specific software.
What if my site works well with program X but not program Y?
What about other disorders like dislexia? Must I make my site easy to read for those that can't read numbers properly too? etc....
Tom
Ah the arrogance...
Its not like I want to live at home but the lack of job and current college study kinda limits my options.
Or would it be more noble to drop out of school, flip burgers just so I can live in some shithole and avoid the parents?
Tom
And REAL college students waste money on rent when they only really live 20 mins via bus from campus?
Wow there is smarts. You've restored my faith in the average college students ability to reason.
You're probably the type who also thinks a "good time" is out at a bar getting drunk with other self-absorbed idiots...
Tom
Actually I am a GBA developer, I just haven't released any licensed carts [yet].
You're mixing up affiliation there. I'm also a x86 and win32 developer but I neither work for Intel or Microsoft.
And for your information I am 20, in college, live in the 1st floor of my parents house.
You "dick face poopy head!"
Tom
I haven't seen Nintendo screaming and yelling cuz of flash carts..
In fact the whole reason why I bought my GBA was because I wanted to program it..
