I agree 100%! If they (spammers) can't get any clients, then they'll hopefully turn to a different (hopefully less annoying, sleezy, etc) business model.
He could just take one of those acrylic cases then make a "slipcover" for it out of stained glass that he can slide over the top... kinda similiar in idea to those little toaster covers that just kinda drop on...
Actually I think that they mean it (the USB access point) comes unsecured by default, the same way the wireless router sitting on my floor (yes, my floor) did. Perhaps they just don't warn about securing it, which could leave open a "rogue access point"
Yes yes, it's not a tablet PC... You'd think after people post about a hojillion comments saying that people would stop mentioning that fact! How come nobody took the opportunity to point out this little gem?
The V150 comes with a USB wireless hub for the host PC, in case you don't already have 802.11b wireless networking. This is a bad idea: one of the biggest headaches for network security people is the proliferation of 'rogue' wireless access points, and there's nothing in the Smart Display specification to encourage consideration of security aspects.
Look, I'll even get the ball rolling... Microsoft? Insecure?! Who woulda thought!
Could this be done with one of those VIA C3 boards? They're mini-itx and they have svideo outputs built in, along with audio built in... I just dunno if they would have enough grunt or the Linux compatibility.
There's also a neato case for it that looks kinda like a home theatre component already, but I forget the URL for it (I'll keep searching for it though)... would be an interesting (and maybe cheaper) alternative.
Anandtech also mentioned it but says For the record, we did not encounter any issues during our testing that were out of the ordinary. Our motherboard labs did encounter some issues early on and we'll be investigating to see if they could possibly be related, but without being told any symptoms or the nature of the issue it's going to be very difficult for us to figure out what's causing it. Luckily none of these CPUs should have made it into the hands of any end-users, which is a relief. Intel insists that the problem is limited in nature, only time will tell how much that holds true
But I haven't heard anything specific (as of yet) as to WHY they are pulling them back. At least Intel is making sure that there's a quality product on the market.
At nearly two hours, this "Cowboy" is a very long and pretentious ride into the sunset.
Note first that this was the quote from another review and not from the author of the post. Anyways, I just wanted to comment that although the movie may be 2 hours long (just short of, I think an hour and 54 minutes) it doesn't seem that long. It does keep the interest kinda well, although I am a big fan of the Bebop already, so I was gonna sit through it no matter what.
I remember reading in an article in the local paper here (probably reprinted from another paper) that talked about Ron. I found it very interesting he doesn't even have a phd (only a master's degree), yet he is head of a very large NASA program. I think that speaks very highly of him and his education and personality.
I enjoyed watching him giving the press conferences and briefings after the disaster happened, as I knew I'd get the facts with no BS. Once they switched over to the bureaucrats, I stopped watching.
As for page transitioning, someone can make an extension to Phoenix to handle these proprietary tags, but I don't know why they'd want to... they're not standard HTML, they're annoying, and they slow down the browser.
Exactly... that's what I love about Mozilla: All standard, nothing proprietary. Once they implement this page transition stuff, suddenly they're not the champions of standards anymore, they're just adding a feature to get people to use their browser more...
Just sounds like he uses them in his website to look "cool" and is grousing it won't work with Mozilla/Phoenix
The difference is that when I have a load of tabs open in Moz and it crashes I then have to hunt for all the pages I was looking at. With Opera it lets me continue from exactly where I was pre-crash.
Yes but the beauty of the open source nature of the browser is that you could write the code do that yourself, and have it added to the browser!
On a side note we were just discussing this in class today in a comparison between Mozilla/Netscape and IE... somebody brought this feature of Opera up and we had a nice discussion about how cool it is.
I dunno, I like syntax hilighting, but I don't think that would involve much "bloat"... I think I saw code to do it that was rather short, the actual handling of the file opening, printing and saving involved more code if I remember correctly.
Maybe their next core version will have a wide(wider?) range of clock speeds possible and they want to keep people from buying a lower clocked one and ramping it up to the speeds of one of the higher clock (as well as price) chips?
Science Daily has an article about it too, saying "Scientists arriving on the scene of a gamma-ray burst just moments after the explosion, have witnessed the death of a gigantic star and the birth of something monstrous in its place, quite possibly a brand new, spinning black hole."
This is exciting, seems like we have a first hand look at the formation of a black hole!
True, but the reason I got 2 lcds rather then 2 crts (which woulda been much cheaper) is that (1) I couldn't fit 2 crts on my desk and (B) The 17" crt I already had would make my room really unbearable during the daytime and even in the evenings, much less 2 crts pumping out heat. Plus it helps save power. (And I do have a double headed display of lcds)
Yes but if you use a 17" crt then you probably won't notice the difference if you get a 15" lcd (I didn't). Viewable size for the crt is probably around 16" where the lcd is still 15" viewable. You can get a good lcd for $300 if you watch the ads.
I just bought 2 of them with dvi inputs and a new video card with dual dvi out (was an Asus card, Geforce 4 mx440) and I couldn't be happier. Both of them are perfect, no dead or bad pixels. And to my surprise, there is almost no streaking when I play UT2k3 or UT.
I guess the manufacturing process has reached a point where they can get it perfect most of the time (my laptop has a bad pixel in the upper right corner but that doesn't bother me).
I was worried that I'd get one with some dead pixels and hafta go through the hassle of returning it, but then again, I heard that Dell has a pretty good return policy for that kind of thing.
So anyways, a month and $1000 later (they were 15" ones) and I am entirely satisfied with my 2 lcd monitors... I might even tell my parents to buy one for their computer... I say go for it!
Actually, I had a telemarketer call my cell phone. I got an "unknown number" thing for the caller id and let it go to voice mail. It was some stupid credit card company soliciting me to apply. Next time they called I answered the phone, asked them if they knew they were calling a cell phone, and said that next time they called I would send them a bill for my time. I haven't gotten a call from them yet (too bad heh)
Better yet, just classify massive bombardments of spam as DDoS attacks and then we can sic the feds on them... maybe they'll let us chuck napalm at them just for fun too...
Hey that would be a good law! "If you can track down a spammer you can set him alite (alight?)"
I think what he's implying is that some mailing lists don't include your name in the to: or cc: address, therefore a mailing list posting may get moved to your junk mail folder.
Plus, by filtering words it's almost like a primative Bayesian filter...
In Largo, FL, my dad says that even if you DO throw out cans and stuff, they have facilities at the incinerator (which does generate electricity too) to sort that stuff out. Don't ask me how but I'm sure they have a way... I just hope it isn't a bunch of people pulling that stuff out.
So over here, if you put it in your recycle bin or not (if what he said is to be believed) it doesn't matter... but I still do anyways
That's fission not fusion. Fission involves splitting the atoms, something we do currently with nuclear bombs and in nuclear power plants. Fusion involves the process that powers our Sun, combining hydrogen into helium, a very very good process for giving off energy. But it's hard to handle fusion, you need very powerful magnetic fields.
Fission is easy to handle (relative to fusion), and is rather safe now-a-days. Much cleaner then coal or oil burning plants are right now.

But it has some really good fight scenes... 'nuff said.

Well, that's one of the side benefits... all my friends are envious ;-)
