IngSoc would at most prescribe 5 years of hard labor, for such ungoodthinking. This is especially important when your 80 years old and asking for a pint of beer.
The thing I don't understand, is why this has to be a satellite system. GPS and Galileo are great, and you can't really substitute something else for them. But it seems to me that you might be able to augment them with ground-based transmitters. Sure, it wouldn't be cheap, but what's it cost to put something into geosync orbit?
I suppose it's not universal, but then again, the places where it would be possible are those that would be the most useful 99.9% of the time.
You miss the point. He's already managed to block it... it's that these fuckwads would send out disgusting shit like that in the first place, when they know that at least a few kids will see it.
People shouldn't have to make an effort to block this slime, and certainly not the near-heroic effort that is needed to block even 50% of it.
If they catch these asshats, they should charge them with child molestation.
Sorry I missed you on IRC (if that was you). Hanging a closet door...
It's a full-fledged IP network, not a p2p app. Hundreds, if not thousands, of IP apps will work on it with no modification whatsoever. You're not relying on the assumption that someone won't declare your freenet node illegal, either. For that matter, there is no certainty that you are even connecting to Meta... for all you know, you're just VPNing to some friend you met online. It may not be the original "MetaNET", or even a metanet at all...
I like DNS, the web, ftp, email, irc, im... I don't see why it's necessary to reinvent the wheel, if that is indeed what freenet is trying to do. For myself, at least, freenet simply is the wrong approach. I want a true internet, just a non-shitty one. And the idea of IP-over-freenet must have had something to do with smoking crack...
Uh, no. Compilation produces assembly, and then the (sometime integrated) assembler assembles it into machine language (not binary). Forget what switch it is, but gcc even let's you see what asm code it is generating.
Obviously, both your troubles ocurred in an area known as statistically dangerous for alcohol related accidents. This is also why it is dangerous to ride a bike near churches, police stations, and airport runways.
This doesn't even take into account NYC, where it is traditionally acceptable to drive on sidewalks during rush hour, provided you honk the horn repeatedly.
Actually, coming up with new wires isn't the actual problem. The internet will always provide that to us. It's the stuff above the physical and datalink layer that bothers most of us, remember.
The methodology to use these existing wires in a safe way that promotes a society of peers and equals, safeguarded against insane and retarded laws... that's a hobby of mine. Those few who are content to be consumers on 'pushed advertising' version of the internet will be left behind.
It really is time to quit whining, and do something about it. If you are in any country other than the USA, and want to build this, let's get to work.
What is to keep the corporations from snuffing the second one too?
My signature answers many, if not all of your questions. Don't despair, your wishes aren't futile, though they aren't trivial either. We will not get just a second chance, but many more.
M$'s payoff likely consists of "Do us this big favor, and we will certainly be careful not to intrude on any of your clients/customers with legacy SCO systems".
Not only a lie, but also pointless, as many such customers often decide for themselves it would "just be easier" to move to windows.
This is what I'm using in my kitchen. Not just the LCD, but an entire computer. Me, I took off their pipe stand, made a simple bracket, and bolted it right to the wall (after giving up on a hinging bracket that folds underneath a cabinet... Home Depot doesn't carry any suitable hinges, and I don't have a machine shop.)
badflash.com has them for sale for like $50, and I think this includes hard drive.
With back orifice installed on the machine. Would have to have timed it right, when no one would notice, but something like this...
Day 1: That stupid zookeeper really pisses me off, giving us a machine running windows. Sure, we're a few million years slow in evolving, but goddammed, we're not *that* stupid. And on a Packerd Bell, no less.
Day 2: From our cage, I could just barely see the zookeeper molesting the goats in the petting zoo again. Sick.
Day 3: Was afraid that they might catch on to me, but seems they are illiterate. The animal feeder must have pissed on the keyboard again, and you know damn well we'll get blamed for that one. Oh well, I managed to pick his pocket and grab the Visa card. Won't his wife be shocked when she sees the 12,000UKP bill for www.hotmansex.co.uk.
Day 4: Managed to scrounge up some weapons grade plutonium, but this machine isn't fast enough to simulate the H compression in the elliptical chamber. May have to do the math in the dirt with a piece of twig. Next on list: Think of a way to frame some arabs for the detonation.
I've been thinking about building a small Z80 based device, with a z8530 serial chip doing rs485. Maybe with as many as 4 simple bus slots composed of 20 or 40 pin headers (like IDE uses) to make it simple to build 'peripheals' out of perfboard.
Say, 32k of ram, maybe 128k of eeprom, and you could hook up 20 or 30 of these things, one daisy chained to the next. Could even use cat5, and reserve a pair for power. For peripheals, they would be simple relays and sensors... switches, thermistors, etc.
Hell, even as relatively good as it was, Cogenitor sucked ass. Through a straw.
200 naturally ocurring elements? What, is that supposed to sound exotic? To those for whom it would sound exotic, they don't even know what an element is! C'mon, I know there are some physicist geeks in here that could explain it better than I, but doesn't the geometry of a nucleus with that many protons doom anything approx. larger than 130ish? And even those last few only exist for a few nanoseconds. This is the sort of shit that pisses me off.
We should give it it's own genre, pseudoscience fiction.
Radio Shack might be a good subject for such a stupid trollery, except that even the most heinous trolls are disgusted by Radio Shack's utter lack of any sort of electronic or computer equipment. This is offtopic, flamebaitish, and perhaps even actionably libelous on my part so get your -1 mods ready, but Radio Shack is incredibly worthless, misnamed and quite likely 'gay' in the literal homosexual sense of the word. They remind me of those ghetto beauty salons you see where the proprietor has no business sense or vision, and starts selling hubcaps as a "side business" in the lobby... only distilled to 99.999% purity. It would be more honest to rename the franchise "Cell Phone Shack" or possibly "Battery Nazis". I have mustered all the contempt that I can, far more than is safe for any 12 humans put together, and it still isn't enough to express just how low they've sunk, and the speed at which they hit bottom. Fuck, it ignores the fact that when they hit bottom, they simply punched a hole through the floor, and contionued sinking. With any luck, they will somehow be connected with terrorism, and Bush will have no choice but to invade Cell Phone Sha... I mean, Radio Shack. After a 2 month bombing campaign, he'll then send in the ground assault of 220,000 troops, who will beat, kill and rape the store managers (in that order). I sometimes fantasize about some demented Marine Corp sargent stomping on some retard clerk's face while screaming at the top of his lungs "YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, WE'VE GOT ANSWERS!!!" and then laughing maniacally. Alas, I will not be that lucky. Nor will you. The painful decades will drag by, with clueless people at other stores suggesting "Radio Shack" even though they haven't carried anything remotely cool since the late 70s. You'll be looking for some #4 sheet metal screws at Home Depot, and some hick asshat will say "Maybe you should try radio shack". Wallmart will be out of 9v 400ma DC adapters, and the pimple faced goth slut working the electronics dept will tell you to "go to Radio Shack" rather than check the back stock room for you. This will continue to happen until you go fucking postal, foaming at the mouth and making spastic seizure like movements of your arms, face and legs.
Radio Shack, what did I ever do to you? Is it so much to ask that you stock some 74xx IC's in at least every other store? Will you at least hire a decent fucking ad agency? Something, anything?
*weeps* Have you no mercy, no pity? What kind of monsters are you?!?!?!?!?
If there is one thing SCO is known for, its support for massively SMP machines. Why, I once saw this 1024 CPU behemoth... oh wait, that was IRIX on mips. Well, there was this screamer of a system with 64 CPU's that collectively managed a sustained flops somewhere in the trilli... oh wait. That was Solaris on SPARC. Well how about that 128 CPU monstrosity...ooh, nevermind. Tru64 on alpha.
[thumbs through unix reference for 'SCO']
Here it is. SCO Unix is known as "the lamest unix implementation on the lamest CPU family in the history of technology, several notches below Minix, which itself was an intentionally incomplete unix implementation meant to teach students OS theory".
Windows is not "the best OS for gaming". It is the worst, and will continue to be the worst for many years to come.
It simply has the most commercial games available. That is important, don't get me wrong. But it's easy to imagine many of those, if not all, having superior stability and/or available resources on anything other than windows. Windows is a bad joke, and I wish you subhuman microsoft groupies would quit telling it.
Slashdot Mirror
Unless they put the plates on upside down to confuse the recognition system. Or maybe the Ministry of Peace has already thought of that.

Updating Total Annihilation to use opengl, increasing the number of weapons (currently 256), and increasing the weapon limit (3 per unit).
Hardly.
In such a universe, humanity would become extinct because non-slashdotters have sex less than once a decade, by definition. Simply not sustainable.
With Neo on your side, maybe you'd be a bit more confident fighting them.

This is why true geeks store their porn collections by inducing resonances in quantum folds... guaranteed to survive the coming big crunch.
I'm sorry but I have to point this out.
Bruce Willis didn't wear shoes throughout much of that movie, it was a plot point and had some significance to the entire story.

I mean, it's not like there are hundreds of x86 OS's out there... M$ has seen to that.
A better question with the answer you hint at, would be "who could possibly have worse SMP support than SCO on x86?".
But, if you insist on an answer, I'll indulge. Either linux or a BSD, and I'm not guru enough to decide either way. Anyone else want to comment?
