No!!! I hope they never get bought, those idiots don't deserve the money from the buyout, as anoying as it is, I hope they just get litigated into the ground.
His whole argument is bogus because iirc the moon fell apart because they were blasting new tunnels and got the charges all wrong.. nothing todo with its mass
Do it the other way around, instead of shutting off access, have a meeting, talk to them, find out what they are using it for, if its anything legal great, let them know its eating up a lot of bandwith and that you may have to throttle it (linux CBQ stuff is great for that).. if they cant come up with a legal use your problem is solved:)
I was reading reviews on progressive scan DVD players and the article was very in depth, explaining why certain dvd players would mess up with certain movies by looking at the way the mpeg stream was encoded.
you can only do that if you have access to the unencrypted data on the dvd.
You can say "well then you just have to construct your own mpeg stream for testing" but with a constructed mpeg stream you cant tell how the DVD player will do in real life, with streams that are actually in use in movies..

Here's what you do,
remember that bunker on some island near england was it ? host a website there, and put links to the actuall illegal stuff.. then have the news sites link to your page with the link to the illegal stuff:-)

Flight unlimited is one of the best Flightsims that I know, flight engine wise, it uses true aerodinamics and physics.. ever try to fly a tailslide* in those "cheap immitation" sims ?
I really hope they will release the source for those games..
* For those who don't know what a tailslide is, you fly your plane straight up and slowly cut power to the engine, if your engine has enough power you can "hover" the plane, now cut more power untill the plane starts falling backwards, it then flips over nose down, picks up speed and continues flying..
that they licensed some component of quicktime , a codec or a technology or whatever from some other company who is not as opensource friendly as apple..
I wouldn't count on XFS being included, Linus said in his post that "if the changes aren't too major" From what I understand from the posts some of the SGI folks have made is that XFS is not a "plug-in" filesystem driver, it requires changes all over the place. Ofcourse I could be totally wrong:-) since I don't work for SGI and never worked on/with the XFS filesystem.
-- It's been years since I've played with POV, but given the amount of time it took to trace relatively simple constructs wouldn't this be a bad idea? You're not just re-displaying a 3 dimensional object from a different perspective, you're recreating the object each time the perspective changes. -- Yes you are correct, you COULD re-raytrace just the object that moved however, the trick is to figure out what pixels are affected by the moving of the object. For example the object could have been casting one or more shadows, those "shadow" pixels need to be re-raytraced, also if you could/can see the object before/after the move in some other reflective surface you have to re-raytrace those as well.. etc.
forgot:-) But raytracing is VERY parallelizable, you can have one cpu per pixel, I believe a company called "division" (.co.uk) did something in this area. they called it "smart memory". Realtime raytracing could be the next big thing in computer graphics, but games need to be totally rewritten, you can't use openGL anymore because raytracing can use primitives like spheres, planes, cylinders and yes triangles, openGL doesn't support this. It would require some major hardware advances, if you want to realtime raytrace a 640x480 image using one cpu per pixel, it would require 302700 cpus that can do some very fast floating point operations.
btw I'm very interested in realtime raytracing, but I think it'll be a while before it's a reality.
yep you would have to re-raytrace the whole scene, there might be some optimisations, but not much.. btw. just like you would re-render the whole scene every frame in a game, quake etc. send the whole scene to the card every frame.
actually.. handwriting recognicion is not that hard, remember the story on slashdot about "quickwriting" ? some time ago.. or it could be done like (i know only the Nino, so forgive my onesidedness) on the Nino where you get a graphic keyboard representation and you "type" by tapping on individual letters.. it works for me
I would like to add that Celerons can't do 8 way and 4 way for that matter.. the most you'll get out of that PII core is dual.. Same goes for "real" PII and PIII chips, they can do dual at most.. Xeons and PPo's can 4 way and up..
But I'm not sure if going "intel" is such a good idea if you need that many cpus, SGI, Sun, and Digital/Compaq seem much further along in that area..
I've ordered a bunch of stuff through them too.. I've had to return some bad memory.. not a single problem, they were friendly, helpfull and kept me up to date (through email).. I'm a happy mwave customer.. And I'll probaby order my Athlon+MB through them as well.
Damn, they're continuing.. I was hoping to buy a couple of them satellites for $20 on ebay or something;-)

And like someone (a bit up) said, IP stack fingerprinting can be effective too..
Some else mentioned that the GPL is designed to allow people to learn from your code, great idea, that's what makes OSS great stuff. But it would be "immoral" to keep your code to yourself and make a ton of money of a propriatary product after you "ripped" all the good stuff out of a GPLed software. I guess my concern is more with the morality of propriatary software (and hardware - think routers,webtv etc.) companies.
So SGI will add XFS to the Linux Kernel shortly, great, but what if some company steals stuff from the XFS technology by looking at the kernel source and integrates it into their product? I know that the GPL is supposed to prevent that, but the thing is, how do you prove it? example: how do you prove that Win2K doesn't use some modified Linux IP stack? Nobody's allowed to see the source so nobody will ever find out right?
you might also want to check out the.slp format (Stampede Linux Package format) or perhaps, Standard Linux Package format? (plug) anyway.. it's.tgz compatible.. check it out at stampede.org
