The thing is - counterfeiting with inkjets is on the rise. I'm not sure I believe the stats quoted here or here and here but theyre just some of many such stories I've seen in the last 5 years claiming this is a real problem.
The case for Mars by Robert Zubrin has a detailed plan on how you could do this with no moonbase, no LEO station and no need to leave people stranded. Interesting read.
And yes thanks people I already have Fedora on some machines and Red Hat Enterprise on the rest, I just wish support for 7.3 and 9.0 had been extended by Red Hat and not left to third parties..
he will take care to protect the identities of the targets too. I can see no end of trouble when "A Big Co." finds out they were completely rooted and had no idea..
IANAL - lets say for the sake of argument I was an ex-hacker with a story to tell that ended up in print. Even with this much vaunted anonymity I would still be worried about publically confessing my misdeeds. Especially in the UK where hacking offences can be covered with anti-terrorist legislation these days.
I still can't see any information on their website as to when they will upgrade to BOINC.. Which is a shame.. I'm a top 5000 user and I want to switch ASAP:)
Having used 9.X for some time I think not. I liked Mandrake a lot, but it's instability was frustrating after RedHat. I eventually went back to RedHat (to prepare for the RHCE not for any real reason). I'll give Mandrake 9.2 a whirl, it's a nice system - but I too hope that 9.2 has ironed out a few of the X glitches (gdm was my bugbear).
You could avoid this on IRC? That's the kind of attitudes I came across there and forced me to end a serious 5 year IRC habit. I've not touched IRC in 3 years now and I don't miss its stupidity one bit. aMSN and yahoo IM's now provide my lameness filter to the chat world - I much prefer it that way.
I confess I'm a pirate. So are my friends. We download, we vet the downloads. We upload songs to private FTP servers with the bandwidth we're not using when we're at work.
We have a trust based, friend based, non peer to peer, but distributed, quality controlled file sharing experience.
It's great. It doesn't get flooded with crap, it doesn't get flooded with music we don't like. Anyone with an account on the machines is known to everyone else.
Gosh it sounds just like some warez servers back when I used to have an interest in warez, or hacker BBS's when I had an interest in that.
When's the Dragon 32 port of Contiki and ethernet card coming out - I've still got 2 gathering dust in the wardrobe:P
Grid computing?

I still think this is not what is commonly understood by the term "Grid Computing". Maybe it's the environment I work in but to me Grid Computing means something else
Although they will still arrest you and invoke the DMCA because maybe you design something that facilitates Adobe ebook and Adobe Acrobat Reader interoperability;)

No plate tectonics?
Science News Online and others may disagree.

I'd rather like to think that those of us "stuck" with Red Hat servers are perfectly capable of installing and configuring Debian by ourselves!

the Department of Homeland Security do?
There are 14 registered and 7654 anonymous users currently online. Current bandwidth usage: 2170.15 kbit/s

it just keeps climbing
Yes, I'm sure they radiocarbon dated the stones, and not finds from the Stonehenge site...
At least you read the article (even if you couldn't control your knee jerk post)

This is the second time I've heard "sheep" and "Scottish" mentioned in the same breath - both from Canadians.
What is it with Canada, the Scots and sheep?
Every self respecting Englishman knows it's the WELSH that have sheep fetishes..
Where would he be now if he charged for EMACS all those years ago?...Think about it!
We'd all be using vi?
but what exactly does this mean?
Next question:
how will it be regulated?

Yes, yes of course. I expect everyone to honour a robots.txt file. Especially when, for instance, i can shove a "robots = off" line in my .wgetrc.
I'm not sure this is a great defence if you're publically sharing mp3's.

The web? That's all a bit new fangled for us..
Yarrrr, it be good to see some deckswabbers be keepin' it real for ITLAPD :P
Obviously not a whisky man :)

And is exemplified by projects like MyGrid.
