    Until there is more than one, and you can have a group of internets (weird to even say), there will be only one Internet. I don't give a damn how ubiquitous it is. There's only one White House, but using this same logic, we should now call it simply the white house.

  8. "Re-magging" on Unlocking The Power Of the Magstripe · · Score: 1

    This could save me hassle and money, as well as be an interesting hobby :)

    My debit-cards usually only last 6 months. I'm not rough with them. I take it out of my wallet, I swipe it, I put it back. I'm careful to put it between flat cards (with no raised numbers) so the strip doesn't get abused, but still, the stripe wears down. It's a week to 10 days and a nominal fee to get a new card. Imagine making card backups, reapplying some mag material, and re-magging my own card.

    Rock on.

  9. Re:I'll stick with my brand new Verizon Treo... on New Hiptop (Sidekick II) Photos · · Score: 1

    (by the way, it's a real, real-time AIM client, not one of the silly cellphone AIM "clients" that integrate AIM with the messaging subsystem)

    What's the difference? On AIM, I send a message and it pops up on the remote sceren. They send a message, it pops up on mine. Same with SMS. If it's pretty on your cellphone or uses graphical smilies or even has warnings or whatever, don't fool yourself to think that the underlying workings are somehow different.

  12. huh? on Quantum Computing Using Traditional Transistors · · Score: 1

    It's been a long road for the researchers involved, and even the project lead, Hong Wen Jiang admits, "...our initial theoretical calculations were very favorable, and gave us confidence to persevere."

  20. Careful now... on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    I worked at a helpdesk from 1999 to 2002. I grew up with computers and wrote my first programs when I was 7 or 8, so I'm no idiot. And ebfore you complain about why I was working at a helpdesk, getting $25k at age 19 was a good gig, especially in a low cost-of-living state like Florida.

    Anyhow, a gentleman called up and said his network connection wasn't working. WINIPCFG said TCP/IP error. Now, at this point in my career, not to mention my life, I could walk him and any other caller completely through opening the control panel, going into network, tearing down and rebuilding his network configuration including reinstalling the TCP/IP stack, which was the crux of the problem. And by walk him through, I mean, I could do it while reading The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul and pinching a loaf on the pot.

    He refused to do it. He swore up and down that I was reading cuecards and asked to speak to someone who "knew what they were doing." I transferred him to my supervisor, who informed him that I was a certified subject matter expert for Windows networking. My boss had him do what I instructed, and it worked.

    I suppose the moral is this: Sure, there a lot of helpdesk losers. But have the sense to know when you're talking to one of their gods.

  24. Re:So what? on Bill Gates Fined $800,000 Over Stock Purchases · · Score: 1

    It's not like doesn't have the money. Fining him 800k is like fining me 5$.

    800k is 2 hundred-thousandths of a percent of his estimated value of 40 billion.

    (40,000,000,000 * 0.00002 = 800,000)
    ergo
    (800,000 / 0.00002 = 40,000,000,000)

    So, if the fine divided .00002 = a person's worth, and you were fined 5 dollars, you would be worth $250,000. While many people own $250,000 worth of property (as in everything paid off), statistically,
    I'd say it's unlikely that you do. I sure as hell don't. But at 26, I'm working on it ;-)

    "''We are not excavating it. We are not taking any artifacts. We're going to photograph it and, God willing, you're all going to see it,' McGivern said.' As if pictures can't be doctored and are absolute proof...."

    They're certain they're going to see it; you're certain they're not. You're both two sides of the same irrational coin. Me? I'm a real scientist. I believe anything is possible, and, realizing many ancient stories are based upon a real, however romanticized, person or event, I try not to have presuppositions. And when I may have a presupposition, I don't gloat it as a source of pride.
