One 50 megaton hydrogen bomb ground-burst in the center of the crater. After some unfortunate local effects, the remaining Mt. Fuji material should be carried into the upper atmosphere where it would encircle the planet (much like the Krakatoa explosion).
The question being, does Microsoft have weapons of mass destruction?
I realize that there are some press releases that qualify as news, but this one doesn't. Progeny isn't advertising anything that is innovative, cutting edge, free or otherwise newsworthy. All they are announcing is a new way to separate you from your money.
Please, Slashdot, apply some form of editorial standard to this type of tripe.
All of the female programmers I work with look like Angeline Jolie. We all run around the city for a few hours and then order pizza while the uber-programmer sits and types at a keyboard while equations float in the air around his head.
I also score with the Angeline-clones every day. We just knock the keyboard and mouse of the desk and do naughty things after work.
Sigh - back to work. I have to use a pay phone to save the world.
And Terrorists Use Wi-Fi As Well

DOD vs. 802.11b

This follows an earlier slashdot link to an article that terrorists would use the anonimity of Wi-Fi connections to plan evil deeds. (An argument that was also applied to the telegraph.)
I find the coincidence to be a little too suspicious. There were extensive hearings at the FCC on opening up the unlicensed spectrum bands. The solution is to ensure that Wi-Fi transmitters meet FCC requirements on emission power and bandwidth.
The dude may be a Scientologist, but he seems to know how to make money. The money will be in the service delivery - not in making components or Wi-Fi cards. People who live in rural areas like me can now implement networks and provide our neighbors with high-speed access.
You are absolutely right. I have watched Iron Chef ever since it was on Channel 18 in Los Angeles in Japanese with no subtitles. The American version sucked big time. The judges were poor or picked for their looks with NO knowledge of cuisine (many people do not know that one of the actresses on the Japanese version has a chef's license in Japan in addition to being cute).
Or reeducate the user. I buy the latest and greatest hardware to play my games on, but my business does fine with older hardware and more stable operating systems.
I'm still trying to figure out if I really getting a thousand times more value from Excel than Visicalc (based on executable size). Somehow, I doubt it.
During the 1980s, I developed software for ICBM command and control systems and for ICBM targeting. One of these systems ran on a Rolm 16-bit computer and was programmed in Jovial, assembly and Fortran. At the time, this computer was already 5 to 10 years behind the commercial state-of-the-art. However, it worked and almost all of the bugs in the computer and the compilers were known, and THAT is the key to developing secure software.
Don't use the latest and greatest. Use something that has been in production for several years and has had the bugs worked out. The military used to do this on critical systems. Did I hate coding in Jovial on a machine that only had 64K? Yes. But I also knew the machine inside and out and had hand-checked the compiler's assembly code generation to make sure that it wasn't doing silly things. It didn't, because 5 years in production had wrung out all of the bugs.
I have been using the Comscire Random Number Generator (which uses Johnson Noise from a resistor to generate the numbers) to build 512 byte pads onto a flash device for a cryptrographic application I sell to customers who need VERY secure communications. As long as the flashdevice is not physically compromised, this method is secure and unbreakable. The key is to have two machines on each side, one of which allows the user to create the plaintext and then encrypts it and a totally seperate machine that is connected to the Internet. The encrypted text is transferred to the Internet-connected PC via a CDR. That way the machine which has the plaintext and ciphertext copies is never connected to the net. Pads are selected via a pre-arranged mechanism.
Dr. Lippisch, the WW2 German aircraft designer who pioneered the delta wing invented the first aircraft of this type many years ago. As usual, The US and the USSER simply stole from the German scientists.
I am sorry that you are inconvienced just because a judge was concerned about hundred of thousands of people who should get money that is owed to them (not as an entitlement, but as the result of rents, etc.).
Existing law allows for the distribution of any musical composition via a mechanical license (without the permission of the copyright holder) if the music has already been distributed. The mechanical license requires that it be a different recording of the music (i.e. not a copy of the original).
If I go in an introduce a minor corruption into the MP3 file so that the music is now different from the original, why couldn't I just pay the artist the mechanical license fee and distribute with or without his permission?

Hardware and software independent. Works without electricity. Used to read books for hundreds of years. Very inexpensive.

It would be more suitable for most of the executives I work with. They could top it off from the mini-bar.

That would be less error prone.

You and Peter Jennings are both Canadians. Why did you leave and is there anything we can do to encourage you to return?
That way they got Radio Shit catalogs up the wazoo.

OK, who wins the fight between this guy and the Scorpion King?

Spacesuit will not be required.

We have the Linksys router/8 switch combo at work and have been very happy. The changeable MAC was a nice feature and works fine with our DSL line.
Or even better, will Gabrielle aardvark around with Scully?
