Problem is knowning the yankee's they will terrorize you into submission later on down the road.
{rant on} Anyone who objects to moral science on religious grounds needs to find a new line of work. 18 cells that could form a human are not a sentient human being no matter how much your heart-warming christian ideologies want it to be. Condeming science due to fear of God is just as plain ignorant.
And of course the whole matter-splitter for the discussion of gene therapy is at what "stage" do you stop and say "this is a human". For example, are 10^15 carbon atoms a human? They could be used to make a human, etc... So are fossil fuels now religiously forbidden? etc...
Who said he raped anyone? He took a minor across state lines to have sex. Nobody said the minor didn't want to go. Admitedly having sex with minors is not a pleasant idea but morally if the kid wanted to go so be it.
Don't forget that america was founded on the principal that young females were supposed to have their first child before they were adults.....
Why is this interesting? Hey moderators wake the heck up.
An 8051 is a trivial old-school 8-bit MCU that doesn't even have a fast enough clockrate to handle the throughput let alone the data itself. Not to mention it has one 8-bit register, 128 bytes of ram and virtually no support for DSP math.
Might as well have asked if you could implement it on a 4004 or something!
They're not always entirely hardware. Often a "MP3 chip" is nothing more than a DSP processor with onboard ROM. Its cheaper todo it that way and easier to maintain [fixing bugs means recompile the code not rebuild the device]
However that being said some MP3 players actually have DSP processors and the codecs in RAM [or flash of some sort]. The RIO-Volt IIRC has that functionality. Which means adding Vorbis support is not entirely out of the question.
First remove your thumb from your ass. This isn't a competition.
Second, I was just pointing out that there is more information lying around then you guys care to admit. I mean in cryptanalysis the attacker doesn't stop because there is a little noise.
Simillarly if I want to data mine to the last drop I won't stop because I get a little noise.
Also about the "changing" IPs is this how you browse the web?
1. dial up [wait the 30 seconds] 2. do one HTTP request 3. disconnect, goto 1
I never said cookies are not a good method of getting browsing habits. I am just saying [as a cryptographer] that there is more information lying around than most think. Its just a matter of looking at the data and interpretting it.
And as you say "lots of users behind proxies" that's true. However, most people I know don't have everyone in their house go on the net simultaneously. So it stands to reason the IP's are due to one user.
Even still there are other things like referrer tags...etc...
The problem is people with computer viruses often don't know they have them. Then when their computer sends out GB's of emails and pings, etc.... they do real damage.
I mean in each day I get over 100 spam/viruses easily. And I'm not even a popular dude!
I have no problem against giving fines to people who have viruses for too long. I mean how can you not tell you are sending 500KB emails every 3 seconds!?!?!? [Actually the largest was just over 700KB for Klez]
Which leads me to a side question. Why would a virus writer even think of making a virus that would attach itself to anything so big? I mean aren't viruses supposed to be smaller?
Oh so when you go online you goto one site than hang up?
There is a correlation between IP and time. E.G YOU!
If at 10:46 you goto a site with IP X then at 10:48 you goto a site with IP X then if we are collaborating we could put it together that you're the same person.
Perhaps less effective on the whole but generally not impossible or infeasible at all.
Seriously. Web site owners can track your viewing habits by checking their log files. Your friggin IP is logged in it. If I collaborate with website XYZ we can both check what you are doing.
They can have databases all they want [provided they can justify the expense to the voting public next time around]. Provided they don't violate your civil rights who gives a fuck?
Ditribute the load. Of course with each level of the P2P system [e.g. say its a N-way tree] you add delay so obviously you want a short tree.
Consider a system with say four servers that host say 20 people each. As long as the ping between the four is low enough you can now host 80 people and distribute the load/cost over four different servers.
Why Focus on single player?
Because 9 out of 10 times I [personally] go on a DM net game the ping is ridiculously high with some people [stupid dialup shitheads] hitting over 900ms ping.
I'd rather blast some inteligent bots than play online.
Also games like RtCW and Elite are done with the Q3A engine and are decent single play games.
"They should contact the government or company that is responsible for that vulnerability and report it."
Specially with that other case that occured in the court house right? Yeah thats because telling someone there doors are wide open makes them want to talk to you.
Surprised? You americans market murder all the time. Just most of time its packaged as pre-formed propagand..... er... patriotism.
Hey enemy or not the dudes you kill in war is still murder specially consider the US has the WORST RECORD FOR KILLING ALLIES EVER! Fuck, I hope Canada never serves with the US again ever. No respect plus its deadly!

To all you lame yuppy idiots replying with "oh its cloudy" here are some questions you should have asked
1. What is the annual amount of sunshine where this is to be used? [hint: chances are its high]
2. What is the cost of this device and its use say versus the laser setup [hint: chances are their low].........
Don't buy SMS equipment. If its going to suck why buy it?
Duh. Besides getting TXT messages on a 7x2 LCD display is not what I call fun anyways. In the same time you can enter a relatively useful message you could have called the dude and been done with.
Ask questions of humility. That should be a good indication. Honest people will have no trouble telling you of their past mistakes and faults as well as their strengths and abilities.
If someone only tells you all the good they've done [e.g. positive outcomes] then they are either a miracle or holding things back.

So what? As long as they don't violate your rights who cares.
I'd be more concerned with the money they are spending on this.

Wow next we will have 10Thz cpus, whoopy.
What would be even cooler [punny] is if they made processors with the same MIPS but way less POWER requirements.
IIRC I once saw a paper on mW per MIPS [citeseer]. That's the type of research intel and amd should be looking into.
I'd probably agree with you.
Why P2P for multiplay?
Ditribute the load. Of course with each level of the P2P system [e.g. say its a N-way tree] you add delay so obviously you want a short tree.
