On November 17th, a draft version of a review of Carnivore, the FBI tool for monitoring Internet traffic, was made available to the public. This review was performed by members of the ITT Research Institute in Lanham, Maryland and is 127 pages long. In the Executive Summary, the review makes several recommendations for ways in which Carnivore must be improved, in order to protect individual privacy and assuage concerns about the potential for unauthorized use.....

In other words, they found a flawed product, which can currently be easily manipulated to gather information beyond that authorized in a court order. They believe the flaws are fixable and have made recommendations as to what needs to be done, including eventually releasing the source, but not until some glaring security problems have been fixed first.............

Why is Windows the only operating system that comes without any type of multiple boot loaded. All the other seem to have one. Install 95/98/ME and it just sets its self as the only os , and thats the end of that.

It stands for Standard Operating Environment.
Basically its a set of recommended software available for installation on a company's / school's pc's.
Eg. I can install Windows 95 and Visual C++ but not winamp.
They will run... but you'll get errors all over the place. In my college the C: was read only. You could only write to d:. It was annoying, but i am sure cut down loads on the IT bill, and stoped too may mp3 servers running.
No one is going to pay for a seach engine. I spend 10 hours a day online (for my job..really i sware...) and i would never evan think of paying for a seach engine.
Google may be a little better then some other,but not that much. Not that much.

"This is something people have been paranoid about. If you're going to start charging people to submit, does that mean Web sites that can't afford to pay will get overlooked?"
This is at the end of the article. Unless i am mistaken (and i don't think i am ) its already common practice for search engines to rank paying sites above normal searches. Can you do a seach on yahoo now without getting adds on the righthand side.
This sounds like a design flaw in the hardware. As I understand it you soulds be entitled to your money back.
I am not sure of the law over there , but he in Ireland a good has to be of "merchantable quality"... and a laptop with the wrong type of hinges , doesn't sound like that...

As this is a 19.4Mbps raw format file. I persume that bits.
So.
19.4 x 1024 = 19865.6 Kbps
19865.6 x 1024 = 20342374.4 Bits Per Second
Now lets divide by 8
20342374.4 / 8 = 2542796.8 Bytes Per Second
2542796.8 / (1024 x 1024) = 2.425 Mega Bytes Per Second
Now, I would like to record a move of 2 hours
2.425 x 60 x 60 x 2 = 17460 MB
or 17460 / 1024 = 17.05 Gb
Thats alot of space , evan for a 80mb hard disk.
Just a question someone might be able to answer, how well will this compress ?
If its a good level of compression, will it allow a new way for the napster type people to break into a new medium.
Like the rest of the world , its only a matter of time before big companys rule things... and individuals are kept out... with systems like this...
its only the first step...
I'd submit an essay, but i am afraid someone would copy it.

"performs packet-sniffing on a specific local area network"
lets hope no one is look at naughty pictues... might give an effect which is less than random, and a bit more 18+
Yep ,they are... read here for more MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated]

"Install 95/98/ME and it just sets its self as the only os , and thats the end of that."

Me was only released a year ago....
Resolutions up to 1600x1200 ... about time , i am fed up of bootloaders that only do 1024x768...hmmmmm
Why is Windows the only operating system that comes without any type of multiple boot loaded. All the other seem to have one. Install 95/98/ME and it just sets its self as the only os , and thats the end of that.

This will lead to security problems... you know the type
This is a mail from XXX , we need you to do this with your calender.
Would such a system not have over heating problems. Unless its got a kick-ass fan in it.
"This is a good read, but of course Sun has their own plans and motivations in this field. "
We yes... not exactly an independent observer.
Most computer magazines i read, use a quake 3 benchmark when they are reviewing a new graphics card. Or comparing it to an old one.

This is this first time i have heard of a site having so much business it needs to block some people view it.
Its one thing to block non-frames / non-javascript browsers , but this is just madness.

Apple may run into problems following its decision to opt for iPod as the name for its new "breakthrough" MP3 player - from Intel.
