Microsoft just figured out how to make all the people who hate them say and think Microsoft 5000 times in one slashdot post... $350M for that kind of geek thoughtspace is probably cheap from a marketing standpoint.
Scroll down to an ad for VS.NET, Microsoft pops into your mind once. Scroll thru this thread, and you've just spent a half hour singing "Micro-soft!" to yourself with every post you read.
I say we just add a filters.txt to our sites similar to robots.txt.. we then list pages that might be offsensive/adult in nature, and then make someone else responsible for filtering.
So that I can say I did due diligence using standard protocols - you failed to protect your kid or your kid circumvented the protocol.
Makes me wonder if the Earth First people might create exclusion zones in the rain forest... make it inhospitable to people, but hospitable - or tolerable - to the ecosystem.
Sounds like a John Grisham novel or something. (Set in the pacific northwest - Can they stop the eco-terrorists in time?)
If they can get around the old problem Zork had.. ie, if you did anything other than specifically required - it failed. "attack troll with sword" would get you killed - while "swing sword at troll" worked just fine. Still.. I wonder if I still have some of my Infocom toys around (glow in the dark heart from wishbringer, catalog from Enchanter series, Joo Janta Peril sensistive sunglasses.. I think the Infocom packaging was almost as fun as the games.
Anyone know where I can find good starting places for GPU coding? Our Vectorspace engine would really benefit from that kind of power... I'd love to learn more about it.
My buggywhip business has been unfairly targetted by these so-called horse-less carraiges! I demand Mr. Ford require buggywhips in all his model-T vehicles!
My best friend was 18 when she was diagnosed, and is now a survivor (in her 30's). I added a pink entry to our site to support the Yound Survival Coalition. ( http://www.bigattichouse.com/ )
.. he rushed through the technical stuff, and wants to jump into patent law.. sounds like a dig at the USPTO:).. "I want to rush through stuff JUST LIKE THEM!".
There is A LOT more to college than the degree, hell - for most people thats an afterthought.
You release albums as individual cartridges for portable players... it gives you a tactile "thing" with a label, contains mp3's in a generic format, is in a durable case.. can even contain games and whatnot. The ultimate packaging. I still have sega carts I can look at and remember the hours of fun playing Sonic, or Toe-Jam and Earl (panic on funkatron)...
Even better, you release "blanks" EPROMs that can be burned once (or maybe twice - in case of an error) to integrate with all the online purchasing. (print the label too)
Wasn't much of a question, I suppose. I guess I was thinking along some shaky logic - If cryptography is a tool designed to obfuscate a message, is it possible to create a tool that can make a message more readily understandable.... I suppose my fallacy is that cryptography is a tool to validate the origin of a message, and not necessarily a tool to "scramble" meaning. The answer, which actually got to the point when I didn't, is that my logic was flawed. Cryptography is a tool of validation, so can be used to provide assurance of trust for many in a PKI implementation with the same stroke.
I've always kind of wondered if you could use cryptographic principles to enhance communication with a wider audience. Sort of anti-cryptography. Or is there some sort of entropy sort of thing - that you can decrease the understandability of a message, but you can't increase it.

Clever bastards.
... you can get reasonable framerates with NeverWinter Nights? :)
Silly.. hell is a class C with 255 layers:
6.6.6.0 is the gateway to hell.
Slashdot news for nerds, doesn't matter

Will I have to unfix or re-fix all my PNG transaprency Javascript to compensate for the turd that is IE7?
Polish it! Make it Shiny! Microsoft brand turd-polish.
With all this discussion of free-as-in-free and free-as-in-beer...
What is your favorite carbonated alcoholic beverage?
Masala Chai - milk and sugar.
I drink green tea - sometimes with milk! Much cheaper.

I guess "truthiness" was already taken.
Immediately jumped to mind.
Hitachi: Eet Ees Waf-fer theen.
PC: I can't eat another Byte, I'm gonna puke..
Followed by a sony-battery-meltdown.

Not to play up to the running "beowulf cluster" gag... but could you use a slew of these to run your house?.. backup gen with 10 or 20 of these?

I officially announce I will be entering BigAtticHouse's Vectorspace Database into the melee. At least to see what might come of it.

You pull the cap and replace it with a full one... like gas cyclindars.. @home? Just have a cap running on trickle all night.
As if they originated on an alien world? Minus a blue sky, lighting is much different.

Due diligence would have him write a script to check which user/pass combinations were valid, and then analyze only those.
