Around the same time (98) my coworkers and I also installed the BSOD screen saver. No big deal, we all knew it was a screensaver. Except our 'hands on' manager. We came into the server room one day, and he's sitting on the floor with the server disassembled (Compaq Proliant 6000) and blowing on various circuit boards and raid components with canned air. He kept taking apart the server, putting it back together, then watching it BSOD in a few minutes. Heh, that guy thought canned air would fix anything! He was pretty pissed, but we thought it was hilarious:)
As the article mentions, you can only go back in time to the point where the time machine first existed.
The example given was a wormhole and a neutron star creating a 'time difference' that would accumulate between the each end of the wormhole. So if you build a timemachine in 3000AD you could use it in 4000AD to go back to 3000AD, but not before the time difference started to accumulate.
Since we can't see any naturally occuring wormhole/neutron start combinations around us, no one is going to be arriving in our time.
The scroll lock hotkey on the Belkin's can cause the console to get stuck in linux, sometimes you have to hit the button on the KVM to unfreeze it - which can be a pain if you plan on only using the hotkeys and have the KVM in a out reach spot on your desk.
The belkin SOHO series (which I am using now) don't seem to reset PS/2 mice as reliably as the older Omnicubes (which I also use). Although, you don't need AC power for the SOHO series (it will draw power from keyboard ports). I had to return two units (over the course of 1.5 years) that would change channels (with loud beeps) in the middle of the night randomly - even though the PCs were off and wouldn't stop until I unplugged every single cable (including monitor). Adding an AC adapter from a spare omnicube fixed that problem.
Belkin does have a 3 year warrenty on their KVMs though, which has proven helpful for me.
What are you talking about? Book publishers *hate* the idea of Stephen King writing his own ebook and keeping them out of the loop - of course his lone venture - "The Plant" didn't even get completed since their was so little interest/paying readers.
Secondly, the market for e-books is tiny compared to the.mp3 market. MP3s can be played on cheap portables/computers/dvd players or re-recorded to CDs/tape/whatever - and (non-pirated) ebooks are proprietary formats and need to be viewed on a computer screen/pda/expensive e-book reader and can't be converted to another more palatable format (try printing a 300 page book).
There's no threat to book publishers comparable to the one RIAA has been up against so we haven't seen anything - yet - let alone an embracement of technology.
I haven't used Kazaa in months, before they started adding the spyware. But is the spyware part of the Kazaa application or a separate app loaded by the installer?
If it's a seperate program then it should be easy to update the hack everytime they change anything on the server side.
If it's an integral part of Kaaza then it's impossible to separate them - just like IE is part of Windows - just ask Micro$oft.
Alt-tabbing and jumping to the desktop can take a few precious seconds... Switch a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse switchbox) - if you're in the IT dept you'll have no problem acquiring a second computer and the KVM - and you can then use the KVM's hotkeys to instantly switch back to the other machine - no directx glitches etc. Heck, if you get the Belkin SOHO model you can have your audio switch off with it too:)

Back in the old days "hire" was spelled "higher" - a kid like you wouldn't know that. No respect for your elders...

They sell them at a loss, but make up for it in volume.
Umm, if each one is sold at a loss, how is selling more supposed to make money?

Can't we just keep it at that?

I wonder if Sharman Networks would have bought Kaaza if they knew their profit could be so easily hacked away.
