WiFi is currently not scalable enough to support hundreds of users. Not only do we need wi-fi, we need point to point. So the questions we should be asking are how much is fibre per mile, and where can we put it?
I was going for 'myfirstbigcock.com' but it's a vhost and doesn't resolve nicely. But the pictures are hillarious. Definitely would have the guys at Symantec and Trent Micro laffing their ass off.
If you're going to muck around with the host file, then you'll get more bang for your buck masquerading google, msn, yahoo etc. to 64.159.93.205 or something along those lines. That'll make'm sit up and take notice!
BTW, it's BangBus.com, not very safe for the office.
The customers haven't complained because they haven't experienced the problems associated with DRM yet. Tying anything to one computer or one user will always have its downfalls.
You'd be a complete idiot to go to Best Buy and pick up a fancy Alienware PC and 21" LCD monitor with counterfeit 20's.
A counterfit credit card, however...
And for the most part, large organizations with thousands of distributed contacts in the underworld (ie. Mafia, Hells Angels) will buy counterfit money for pennies on the dollar. They have their own methods of laundering money. After all, what mom n' pop store is going to refuse to take money from a bunch of bikers?
That's been in the news for years, and in the article. Everything else you need to know about counterfitting you can learn from Lethal Weapon 4. Poker chips in the dryers, printing process, etc.
All my expertise comes from pop culture and the library. Did you know that the instructions on how to make nitrocellulose (smokeless powder) are in most encyclopaedias, and that you can get everything you need from the hardware store and the gap?
Where is the watermark in relation to a $1 bill? Where is the metallic strip in a $20 in relationship to a $1?
The techniques may be fancy, but not fancy enough. The fact that all the bills are the same size, the same color, and have the same security features have given rise to one type of counterfitting. The fact that many security features require close analysis give way to most other forms of counterfitting. Like I said, the British take their currency very seriously. It is not only asthetically pleasing, but also has functional security checks that a moron can do in the space of two seconds to check to see if it's genuine. And he needs only a light source, not a magnifying glass to check a metal strip to see what it says.
American money is horribly easy to forge. Hard to forge well, but a halfway decent copy on some good paper, properly treated can be passed in a dimly lit bar very easily. Ask any bar owner and see what they have to deal with. I've seen the ends cut off of $20 bills and taped to $1 bills passed quickly. I've seen guys print a handful on their home pc's and pass them through public coin machines.
If you've ever seen foreign money, you would see how grossly inadequate the U.S. has been in preventing the casual counterfitter.
I remember watching an old PBS special about 'monetary warfare' which touched on this, as well as a couple of blurbs about the U.S. flooding Viet Nam and Korea with funny money. At one time the CIA were considered the best counterfitters in the world.
It's about time the U.S. has updated their bills, but I don't think that this is enough. Take a look at British Money to see how difficult you can make it for a counterfitter. Big watermarks, multiple color dyes that penetrate the fibres of the paper. The old U.S. bills you could bleach a $1 bill clean and print a $20 dollar bill on it, and nobody would be the wiser. Ironic that the most precious thing a nation could have would also be the cheapest.
Supporting an obviously failing model by increasing taxes. Lemmie think of the last few times that hppened.
The American Revolution The signing of the Magna Carta
It's time to sever the ties to California and push them into the ocean. They think that they're their own little country, bomb the San Andreas fault and make them one!
You should check out Tesla's work. He was broadcasting electricity ages ago. You can build the same getup at home for a few hundred bucks and chemo treatments from the cancer which will most likely ensue.
The internal combustion engine was originally designed to run vibrators and heavy-duty enema pumps. Only later did somebody think to put it into a car, and even then it was to make 'pimp-mobiles'.
The screen is less than 0.3 millimetres thick, flexible enough to be rolled into a tube just 4 mm across and can be viewed from almost any angle.
So the thickness can be given as 0.3 mm with any accuracy.
Googling for toilet paper thickness, single ply is about 0.004 inches thick, and with a conversion of 25.4mm to an inch, you get 0.010mm thickness, for a grand total of 30 times the thickness of toilet paper (minus quilting).
Also, the screens are black and white, raising and lowering white and black dots, so there is no backlighting necessary. So you just need the controller width plus enough room to move the dots.
Put some effort into your trolls:)
Hell, I'd just be happy if they would normalize their tables. I've seen joins across three tables which all hold essentially the same data, and working on the entire result set after downloading it to the client and then uploading the whole thing back when one thing has changed.
The large speed improvements come from lowering the process boundary hopping overhead--marshaling and all that good stuff.
You think that everyone is a DB admin? The real speed improvements come from sane database design, something that many software vendors do not understand.
Software designers, your new word for the day is index. Learn it, understand it, love it!
Personally, I like the idea of every ISP being its own CA and signing for its customers.
If anyone can make a certificate, then it's no good. If only an ISP can, what constitutes an ISP? I can send e-mail, I can set up a server, am I an ISP? If my cert gets blocked, can I not create another one? If I'm not a business, can I still run my own servers? If I do not qualify to be an ISP, then the internet has gotten a lot more commercial, and has a lot less attractive to me.

and commercialization, the internet will never die.
Hell, once the equipment gets cheaper, we can set up another 'internet'
Then I wish they'd 'distribute' XP home and get it the hell out of here.

Yep see #4 in the May 14th article on this site.
brI think it's time to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The sewage has killed it anyway.

BWAHAHAHAHA!
It really relies more on the color of your skin. If you're white, it's a crime. If you're brown or darker, it's a terrorist act.
Unfortunately, that's the state of the world.

A little history lesson for you...
Ain't technology great. Replace your windows with linux, replace your windows with very thin black and white displays...
We'll show Bill Gates what for! NO MORE WINDOWS!
