I saw one show and i got the feelling that TechTV is more into FREEBSD!! Laydies and gentlemen FREEBSD! we got FREEBSD! Welcome back we're talking FREEBSD! the 1337 operating system that's better than Linux.
They know what their doing today, but they don't know how future space travel will look.
Why carry a megaton of stone and a device to throw them when you could build a spaceship one megaton lighter and trow half the amount of stones from the ground? A reasonable idea, will it work? we don't know.
To find the future of space travel you need to be openminded.
Fermath's calculations might have been wrong, he thought he proved it but maybe he hadn't. Or maybe he wrote it just to create a mathematical mystery that would hold mathematician busy for 300 years until some guy eventully solved it and for once put math in the newspaper headlines.
Check it out over at Simon Singh's website. Fermat's Last Theorem is great reading, not to mention The Code Book if you fancy cryptography, technology or just drama.
The roomba seems to work similar as the Automatic Lawn mowers from Husqvarna. Atleast the earlier models where only "boucing around" inside a limited area, but with solarpower you could have it going for hours and hours so eventually all the grass would be cut. The trilobit is obviosly more advanced than that. Despite the high coolness factor i believe few people are prepered to pay $999 for it. When i saw it on sale a couple of years agoe it was $1500.
Maybe this is the new way of making business, who has the energy to go throught booring law suits? Let's just settle it on the "street".
Like the mobs at Morpheus did when Kazaa decided to cut them out from their network. They didn't have the money to sue them so they launched a DDoS attack and made their website unaccessable for a couple of days.
One would think that prices are based on something like supply and demand. Unless they reason like the swedish government, a 10% increase in tax is 10% more income to the government.

I believe this the beginning of solution. Artist won't be working for free nor now or in the future. With faster connections they do not need to limit the range to highly compressed media, but also offer uncompressed CD quality downloads.
The question is how much is people willing to pay for it? The music industry has it self to blame for getting in this situation so it's not going to be cheap to get out of it.
How about this offer:
$1 per song or $10 for an album You get to download it in any or all of the formats you want, available as MP3, ogg vorbis and uncompressed WAV.
It's not foolproof, but an interresting explanation of quantum mechanics:
A cat is placed in a sealed box with a device which releases a fatal dose of cyanide if a radioactive decay is detected. In this state the cat is neither alive nor dead but a ghostly mix of the two possibilities.
To make people pay for something you must first have a product that is as available, as good quality and as useful as the free alternative, right?
CD's used to qualify to two of these, their allot better quality than mp3's, it's as useful as mp3's in the meaning that you could play it in any CD player, on your computer, or on portable mp3 player.
Now what does the music industry do to make people pay for music. They release copy protected CD's that wont play in all CD players, wont play on a computer, can't be ripped to a portable mp3 player. What a great idea.
I believe people are willing to pay for music, but not a useless piece of plastic that they can't do what they want with.
Someone posted a link on IRC to a JPEG image min_tjej.jpg, That's my_girlfriend.jpg for those who's not familiar with swedish.
It contained the following code, wich was instantly executed by IE 6.
var pik; var temp; function test(temp) { pik = temp * 100 setTimeout("window.location.href='telnet://ww w.gay . om:80'",pik); } for (i=0;i
1000 , how thoughful to not make an endless loop. A link to the code, edited to only run once. http://peterj.freeshell.org/code.jpg
I dont know the reason for a webbrowser to execute code in a file that ends with JPG, Maby it's a way of IE to work even if a user has put the wrong file ending.
Still I think IE is the best web-browser and i would use it on all platforms if it was available. W3C's web-browser Amaya will not execute code in JPEGS , but then http://www.w3.org/ is one of the few pages that will display correct in that browser.
When we see that things arn't secure it drives us to improve them.
Is this case they arn't criminals, they are participators in a contest.
Imagine where crypto technology would be today if it didn't excists eny crackers*.
Imagine what computer security would be today if it didn't excist eny hackers*.
Then we might still be using ceasar encryption and run servers on WINDOWS!? boxes;)
These harmless hackers/crackers drives us to improve security, wich stops REAL criminals
*(these words have more than one meaning, is this case i mean 'people who crack codes and chipers' and 'poeple who break inte computers')
The idea of the watermark is that it's hidden in the audio signal, so it's there even if you go from digital to analogue or reproduce it in eny way.
A type of watermark is already used for the DVD-audio format.
Many HiFi specialists dosn't like this since they want a totally clean signal.
The watermark is probebly not possible to hear on most HiFi systems, maby not on eny system.
But if you are one of those who has paid 6000£ for just the signal cables (what are those maid of enyway, solid gold?:p ), then you wouldn't want some unessery crap to the signal, would you?
Even if it shouldn't be possible to hear the watermark it must still be in the range of frequencys that humans can hear, otherwise most speakers wouldn't be able to reproduce it.
So this would mean that if you only played the watermark you would offcource hear it.

You seldomly hear about software in medical equipment or airplanes crashing. So i guess it's applied in places where it really matters.
NASA managed to load an old version of the software in one of their shuttles... that's what you call a usererror.

Getting stuck behind furniture is a bigger problem than some dirt in the corners. My vote goes for round.

I wouldn't want a 36*10^6 g date
I guess this takes care of the Linux kernel ptrace/kmod local root exploit. On unpatched <=2.4.20 kernels this will spawn a suid 0 shell.

One sentence in the book was missing a dot at the end, and suddenly i made no sense at all to me.
I hate parse errors.

aside from some rectified errata, is approximately 300 pages of over 170 new exploits
And when the book left the printer that's 300 pages of over 170 old exploits.

Everything looks great, except for one thing
"...reset button and speaker..."
A solid block of foam , perhaps the worst speaker box you can build.
