yeah, so much for mailing daddypants (the "on-duty editor" and pointing this error out... the launch was 30 years ago today.
NASA has a page about this by the way.
Anyone else reminded of those jackets in Snowcrash that changed colors? IIRC, the Enforcers had them and a flick of a switch would turn all the lettering on them black to match the rest of the jacket.
What they don't realize is that their ranking probably went down because they changed their own link structure. If they read the published PageRank papers, they would have know that this would happen. In essence, they devalued themselves as a hub/portal page when they added links for unrelated ads which would naturally bring down their ranking. Any upswing in ranking would be because more incoming links are "assigning authority" to them.
Is it just me or are they spending a ridiculous amount on these boxes that do the bandwidth limiting? Don't most of the Cisco boxes they're probably using already have most of those capabilities (e.g. limit traffic for this port) anyway.
It seems like someone could whip up a linux box with the same capabilities for $3-5K (including some sort of smart NIC that could filter faster). Up to $49K seems ridiculous. On the other hand, maybe that's what they're doing.
Actually, I'm a PhD student working on this stuff and I do some of those reviews. Yes there is plenty of crap going through - that's why I said "real" academic reviewer. Most of the time when you get feedback on a paper, you usually only get one review (out of 4 or 5) that shows the reviewer actually read and understood the paper. Some places are better, some are worse.
This work doesn't solve any new problems and is essentially the same as Chord , a project at MIT, which has the same basic layout but in a more structured fashion (as far as I can tell from his slides). Chord came out over a year ago (they submitted to last year's SIGCOMM which would have been due in early 2001). He mentions that they're very similar, but as far as I can tell, there is nothing new in his implementation and it isn't necessarily as good. The Chord guys actually prove how fast their system works while he just waves his hands. They also have a paper about how to actually implement a p2p file system over it (I think they give a reference to someone who actually did it too).
There's no good reason this work should have been accepted. Whoever reviewed for this linux.conf.au dropped the ball in a big way. A real academic reviewer would have eaten him alive it.
With all the bitching about the scene, you'd think that Green Goblin gave up and went home at that point muttering about damn patriotism. If so, who was beating the crap out of Spiderman a few minutes later, albeit in a more discreet location.
Do you think he really wanted to be distracted by all the New Yorkers? In the worst case (very unlikely), he might have been knocked off the glider which would have been annoying. Anyway, if I recall correctly, he still wanted to get Spidey to go bad which is difficult when he has backup.
Did you not read the article? Anyone trying to get an unfair share would have to pay accordingly. Anyone who didn't like their computer being used by the "evil ones" would just change their local policies to disallow it or make them pay through the nose.
Actually, RLE is different. RLE is when the file says X is repeated Y times as the basic way to compress. You are right about the vector format though.
skip the printf - if you are just printing the string, use a function like puts - it'll be faster too and you don't have to worry about any formatting issues
i was once at a job interview when this subject came up (efficiency not security side) and they were happy i knew the difference

hmmm, insert obligatory "make this guy an editor since he notices, admits mistakes, and posts corrections" comment here?
:)
have fun at work linuxwrangler - if only mistake quotas worked that way
funny, but it was the launch date that was wrong, not the re-entry date...

wasn't the reason the post was removed because someone copied scientology material into a post verbatim? that's a copyright issue, not censureship.

VADER: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

It doesn't kick you off - it just doesn't let you join...

Nope. Having a bit of Irish blood, the answer is clear - drunk! What do you mean a sober Irishman?
I live in the Boston area and my bill from RCN for the same services comes out under $130 after almost $10 in taxes...

Well, I just submitted them to fuckedcompany :)
