I love public TV. Unfortunately, they have a lot of shows I like to see so late at night. Can these be happily re-broadcast via BitTorrent? There are not advertisements (except for the short "sponsor" messages in the beginning).
Nature, I Claudius, Colonial House... c'mon you guys love this stuff too, right? Commercial TV is 60% crap, even without the commercials.
Not to mention the lovely timeouts one has to wait for...
Have they addressed the issues of postmasters who can no longer handle mail to non-existing domains locally? (they have to send the mail to Verisign first, then handle the bounce, rather than relying on DNS). "Tweaks" probably won't fix this.
Includes Remote Procedure Calls Many versions of Microsoft operating systems...One of these vulnerabilities was exploited by Blaster/MSblast/LovSAN and Nachi/Welchia worms. There are also other vulnerabilities that would allow attackers to mount Denial of Service attacks against RPC components.
Cisco uses unused pairs; hence, you can't have Gig-over-copper AND POE. Soon, soon...
You can purchase a power injector from several vendors who provide POE-capable devices -- good for, as you say, phones, and wireless access points.
I'd like to see a standard accepted for this, because as far as I know, the only products from the larger vendors (Cisco, Avaya) are propritary, so you can't use other POE-cabable devices from a different vendor on the same port.
I think the idea here is the limited monopoly granted to, say, the holder of a patent. The patent holder has the ability to prvent anyone else from creating the patented item.
Hence, the patent grants the owner something of a limited monopoly on the item.
I don't think, as you can take from the context "But is it clear that as encouragements to literary works and ingenious discoveries, they are not too valuable to be wholly renounced" that they were talking about Microsoft-style monopolies, but rather the limited rights granted under patent/copyright law.
Note that current patent law is VERY similar to the first patent laws written in Venice in ~1474 (search for it online).
Copyright law originiated/became important with the mass-production made possible by the printing press.
What's happening to copyright law is VERY interesting as it was created in a time where the methods of reproduction were very limited, namely to those with printing presses. Now, when anyone can produce perfect digital copies and distribute them easily, where should copyright REALLY be going? Instead of bemoaning all the (quite poor) new legislation, make some POSITIVE suggestions
(ie, come up with reasonable suggestions for limiting length of copyright on a per/item basis: music 20 yrs, movies 10, etc, etc...)
Hm... by a coincidence, the site in the next posting on Slashdot, on a timeline of the future, also contains a white paper "Designing for colour blind users". Might be worth a read for understanding some of this and solving some of the problems.
Screw fiber; copper is here to stay for quite a bit more. Just be sure that you've left lead lines everywhere you run the cat5 to the jack, so if you ever want to add more (or anything else that's been suggested here), you don't have to kick a wall in our use the cat5 for lead.
Of course there's always the wireless alternative...
Democrats were similarly split, with ranking member Rep. John LaFalce (D-New York) saying that college students must be shielded from gambling's lure.
"The chief users of Internet gambling are not terrorists, they are our youths," said LaFalce. "Lots of different kids are given credit cards -- not one -- multiple cards. It's easy to gamble from dormitory rooms, or with wireless connections from campus quads, or with Palm Pilots any place."
Welcome to Puritan America. Our women don't wear veils, but let's protect our college students from sin.
sorry to question the validity of everything I read on slashdot, but can someone get some independent verification on this? like an actual news source? again, very sorry, but i'd not like to get myself all worked up unless it's confirmed to be true. perhaps a statement on the clearchannel site?
Help me believe the worst, people. Some good music there...
Who knows where it goes next, following your line of reasoning. What if the next people are spammers (tree-based or e-mail)? Or mailbombers? Okay, well that's extreme, but you get the idea. This is really something that the consumer should be able to prevent. We didn't give up all such rights, did we? Read the privacy statement for egghead.
To clarify: In my case, I was told, but I was wondering how often things like this happen without warnings going to customers. For example, when onsale.com was bought by egghead.com, I received no such mail.
The post about only a limited number of "opt-out" customers avoiding sale to Fry's is disturbing.
Thanks, this Microsoft sounds like a really good stock tip. If this company is half as good as you say it is, I should be able to make 30% on my investmen t by year's end. If you have anything else like this, please send me a personal e-mail first, before letting the rest of this slashdot rabble in on it.
Oh, wait, that's what they talk about _HERE_ in the good ol' USA, where they want to install filters on all computers in schools and libraries to protect the children from the Internet. Terrible sites abound, like porn, violence, growing up gay, etc. Can't have _American_ children seeing that.
I know, I know... you're saying "It's okay, we're the _good_ guys!"

Sure. But how many mails do they block that you actually wanted to get?
It's realy easy to make a filter that is over-protective, of course.

Well, it could've been better than that.
A registered trademark will never expire, given that every few years the holder/corporation affirms that the trademark is still being used.
-Dan
don't be silly - what is Mono?
Ya, well that's why Microsoft gives schools, like Columbia, like 300 free copies of Visual Studio to give out to students.
Get them using it now!
Big surprise - this is why ppl with MBAs get paid so damn much.
