What if someone requests a takedown of someones content because the offending person uploaded a copy of their original content that is already (legally) on youtube- wouldn't this filter remove both copies?
I had a gen 2 modem at the very beginning of their existence (2nd/3rd SF Robot Wars (before it became Battlebots) era). They were only advertising 56k at that time. Unfortunately, after a day of running around with my laptop under one arm, climbing bleachers, and being wreckless with my laptop at Robot Wars, I stopped at a friends house on the way and when getting ready to go home I picked up the laptop in a hurry only to not quite get ahold of it and watch it land upside down on soft carpet from 1 foot or so with the ricochet modem velcroed to the back of the LCD, pushing in on that area and shattering the screen. I booted it up to hear the windows 95 chimes and couldn't see jack. I sold the modem to a friend and swore off ricochet for a while, then they went out of business. Anyway, I don't think my Gateway Solo 2100 had USB, and I'm not sure it had a 16550 UART. I remember confirming the 56k download speeds at many of the places I went to. I would have gotten the service again if I'd known they were headed for > ISDN speeds (7KBytes/s I think was one channel, 14KBytes/s was bonded wasn't it?).
56K modem speed (for their second generation network) was quite impressive in its day- considering most people were still connecting to the internet at 19.2 at the time. The first generation network was still impressive. Sure 14.4 and 56K sound slow nowadays, for the buck it really was amazing. I remember the first time I sat down at a barnes and noble with my laptop and got on IRC and I was just flat out blown away. I knew lots of people who had it and it seemed they were poised to do quite well. For some reason the died off before WiFi really was accessible, and I never understood quite why. They seemed to have little problem negotiating WAP placement deals. Anyway- that proprietary wireless network predated 802.11 (I think) and was the only way to go for wireless. Its not like they jumped on when wifi was already around and said 'hey try our slow network instead'.
Didn't know metricom was back in business- weird now that they have no chance with wifi hotspots catching on and being so easy to implement (and EV-DO for that matter). They're using 'a micro cellular data network' now supposedly. I had one of these back in the day- had to velcro a modem to the back of my LCD on my laptop and it had a cool looking RGB led (had never seen one of those before) and it could do a peer-to-peer network in the absence of a metricom network- that was pretty fsckin awesome at the time. I just dont see how they're relevant anymore- anyone care to comment on why I'm wrong or are they doomed to die a second, horrible death?
My son found the same button- I now have a penny taped over the inset button (older APC BackUPS-Pro 1100). Works great. Just peel the tape if you ever (I never do) need to actually power it off.
I agree wholeheartedly- but I read somewhere in this thread (substantiated or not) that she had been pointing students towards her web page.
I think there's some distinction between keeping a low profile on myspace and kids finding it, and saying 'hey I'm on myspace'. On the other hand, as a student (10 years ago in HS), I would have thought it was pretty cool that she had a night-life and wouldn't have even considered the possiblity that I should be drinking at my (then) age.
As others have said, there's no proof of whats in the cup- it could have just as easily been taken on halloween in a classroom with her pretending to be drunk for the picture just to be silly. Sure, maybe in hindsight an action like that (if in a classroom) would be in poor taste, but who really cares? Kids are supposed to be smart enough to understand (and learn from their parents) that you drink when you get to college/turn 21.
This is yet another attempt to shield kids from the real world, when instead parents should be continually pointing out that other people do things that are bad, or do things that they're not allowed to do yet.
In a desperation move, when my Sparc server went down, I managed to move the whole database filesystem over to an SGI box- so that's from TurboSparc to MIPS 64-bit. Amazingly, it worked.
you misunderstand- I'm not saying not to be harsh on the people who lied- but that wikipedia was harshly treated by critics looking for any reason to discredit wikipedia itself.
you just cant trust wikipedia to vett their contributors... I mean, after all, it never happens in real life that someone misrepresents themselves.
reworded: if MIT can miss that kind of lie for 28 years, I think people were a little harsh on wikipedia a while back when that editor had misrepresented him/herself.
but as soon as you tunnel it, you slow things down. As someone else pointed out, campus networks are usually very very fast and as such p2p clients get elected as supernodes and extra traffic not for the people on campus quickly goes down the pipes. At least if you're tunneling, the nodes probalby won't hit super node status.
Except that you can feel the sand, and you're displacing the sand.. so you're still interacting with the universe. Similarly, if you go to sleep, you're still displacing your sheets, etc.. So how does on diappear then?

I always thought that would be a great feature- perhaps light up the appropriate number on your speedo and ding once if you're over by more than 5. The only problem then is someone broadcasting falsely high speedlimits. The sytem would have to be athenticated somehow.
Problem is, nobody picks up hitchhikers anymore. Living in Iowa, I've helped a few students waiting at bus stops get to class faster, but I certainly wouldn't/don't stop for people with sleeping bags and an outstretched thumb on the highway. For one, it's illegal to stop for anything other than an emergency on most interstates. Hitchhiking just isn't a viable means anymore. Too many laws and too much paranoia. I think most people are worried about the hitchhiker being a problem, not the other way around.

Interstate 35 through most of Iowa is 70 MPH (as of a year or two ago, yay!) - but you hit Ankeny (going south from Ames) and it goes to 65, and then you get about 2 miles before des moines and it goes to 55 without any real change in environment (eg for no real reason). When you've been going 70, 55 is hard to do sometimes- or easy to not notice you're going nearly 20 mph over.
I don't mind them hiding, but it does suck when you're going 62 in that stupid 55 section. Most won't get you for 5 mph, but 7 seems to be the magic number most places I've been/been stopped.
S3 standby shuts off hard drives and if you're running a file-server, aside from the lag people will experience between their packet and your computer reviving itself, power cycling your drives dozens of times a day will greatly reduce their lifespan. If you're worried about going green, buying an unnecessary hard drive probably puts more chemicals into the environment from its manufacturing than leaving your computer on?

I regularly paid $16-18 for CD's in the 90's, and now regularly pay $9.99 at Best Buy and WalMart.

I wouldn't count on that kind of luck
almost no time, it just freezes the inode table and starts creating new inodes for changes instead of modifying old ones.

preview preview preview, doh.
no, you god modded troll because you made a short, inciteful (not insightful) statement without any of the albeit short explanation you just offered.
"Series of tubes" is a perfectly cromulent expression.
Are you talking about the first incidence of the sony recall, or is this inbetween then and now?
Forgive my confusion in advance please.
What is the proper way anyway? A nitrogen extinguisher?
TFA mentions other manufacturers issued the recall months ago- which manufacturers and then why is this news only now that Acer recalled theirs?
