Or electron orbits. Most people seem to think a quantum leap means a huge jump, when actually it's very small. What it actually means is an instantaneous jump. Ex, an electron changing levels. It goes straight from one level to the next, there is no inbetween state.
Better yet, get some tractor paper and write your message on that. Feed it into the fax and when the end comes out tape it into a loop. Let it run for a few days.
I haven't been really keeping up on this whole thing, but from what I can see this is impossible. Some devices simply CAN'T have copy protection built in. Small microcontroller systems are used in a lot of places you wouldn't even suspect and due to performance and program size restrictions it's not even possible to implement any kind of copy protection. This whole thing seems unbelievably rediculous.
I get disturbed every time I read about linux and the "desktop" market. It seems to me that what makes a successful desktop market OS is one functions similar to the OS's people already use (windows, macOS..). The goal here seems not to come up with new and better was of doing things, but to make everything as similar to what people know as possible. Unfortunately, what people are used to seems to be bloated GUI's and "user friendly" programs that don't provide the same functionality as their more advanced counterparts.
VIM comes to mind as an example (nothing against you EMACS users out there). It's far from what would be considered a "desktop" editor or "user friendly", but in the hands of someone who is accustomed to it, it becomes a very powerful tool. I guess my point is that what makes a good "desktop" OS is not necessarily what makes a good OS.
I suppose this is the advantage of having different distributions though, give the "desktop" users what they want and the rest of us can do our own thing.
I used to collect shareware from all my favorite dialup BBS's... Ah, those were the times. I'd forgotten all about shareware. Man was a lot of that stuff crap. I guess I stopped using shareware when I realized I could make 90% of that stuff myself anyway.
when you are using your computer for digital recording. So far, my noise reduction solution of choice was to put extensions on the peripherals and have the computer in a closet or another room. This is all well and good, until you need to stick in a CD or a floppy. Plus the lack of HDD LED can be somewhat annoying, although if you are used to ssh'ing, it's not a big deal.
Sounds like a plain ol' transducer to me. Same sort of thing that makes those nice beeps in your watch, cellphone, PDA etc. You didn't think they actually had speakers inside that stuff, did you? I'm somewhat skeptical of the ability of this thing to do low freqencies, but it's still neat. Could be a good replacement for laptop speakers.
You may be joking, but i've seriously considered this. I've got an electronic trigger air cannon, and I've thought about building a computer controlled tripod for it. Add on a webcam, and you have yourself an automatic targetting system. The cool thing about air cannons is you can fire everything from water to a crapload of paintballs to spuds. Plus you have a great deal of control over the power, and they shoot better than any combustion one I've seen.
is that they are awesome when it comes to providing RPMS. If you are into rpm based distros, mandrake rpm packages a lot of stuff, and they are really on the ball with security updates, etc.
Doesn't proftpd do zlib like wuftpd does? And are those the ONLY things that EVER run on that box? I wouldn't rely on just that to save you. Even if it isn't a network service that uses zLib, it is still dangerous (priviledge escallation, etc).
The thing about depleted uranium shells are that they don't make huge explosions that toss radioactivity over the countryside. The keyword here is DEPLETED. As in, not very radioactive. They ARE however, very dense. That is why they are used, for armor piercing.
The whole point of a TRUE p2p network is it doesn't matter what the courts say, it wouldn't be POSSIBLE to shut it down. The only way would be deleting the client from the harddrive of every user. Plus, because there are numerous opensource clients for the Gnutella and the specs are readily available, new clients can easily be made. The only disadvantages I can see for the gnutella network are DoS attack attempts to shut it down or if it runs into scalability problems. Both of these issues are actively being addressed in newer versions of clients. Provided gnutella can stand up to the load of the userbase and any attacks thrown at it by the RIAA or others, there is no need to fear it being shut down.
Although most people aren't aware of it, this is not the first time kazaa has done this. They implemented a new encrypted authentication system which shut out the giFT project (an opensource fasttrack node). The problem with this whole network is that it relies on kazaa's authentication server and, to the best of my knowledge, there are no working clients other than those liscensed by kazaa. Translation: RIAA goes after kazaa, network gone. Plus there's the whole spyware, etc thing. I would be interested in some more technical info as to exactly what kazaa did to shut down morpheus, if anyone out there knows. The article was pretty vague (as usual).
Oh yipee. Now when i want to read some pages of text, not only do i have to load graphics, ands and all that crud but ANIMATION AND SOUND as well! Seriously, there is no way this is at all a good thing. And how am i supposed to browse with lynx then? All the best pages I know are not the flash-infested ones, but the nice simple ones. IE. google

unless you count those that order things online, use ssh, run encrypted VPNs...

that the world's first mouse had 3 buttons, but macs still only have 1.
Just out of curiosity, how many of those 500 hours were actually related to HARDWARE problems...

Buying the CD's and ripping them works well.
I bought some CD-R's at london drugs and was not charged extra at the register.

Ummmm.....higher? What laws of physics are you obeying?
Not if you have a bios password. Then they would have to open up the computer and reset the bios.

I love reading bugtraq a day later on slashdot.
Plucker is not that hard to set up. And it kicks ace over avantgo anyway.
nobody said those are lasers. they always call them blasters. as for sound in space, well..umm....it's cooler that way.

floppyfw is a sweet deal. 1 floppy. easy config. i've got mine set up to do dhcp for the internal network and everything. very nice.
