Actually, it isn't. The $99 for the initial cost is not bad, Windows and Mac OS X run for over that. The catcher is the support. Is the support for the testers or just in general? It seems to be ambigious. If its in general then it isn't too bad, that is if you know Solaris. Otherwise, its a bad idea.
It also seems that Solaris is coming to the x86 platform alittle late. Intel is moving away from the x86, and AMD also seems to be moving that way with the bridge with their x86-64.
The time may be wrong, and I don't think many mainstream users (non-Solaris know-how people) will attempt to start to learn it with this move.
Who knows, there may be some network admins that go and get it for their home pc.
I think this is funny. But on the other hand, AOL in itself isn't bad. Yes they do send out too many free AOL CDs, but that is to get more users. As anyone ever looked at one of those CDs closely? It is both Mac and PC compatible. They are doing there best to get new uses.
On the other hand, I have decided awhile ago to get a new email address because of all the spam that I get. "Unsecured Visa", "Congratulations...", and there are many other subject lines that are inapporaitate. When I check my aol account, its a habit to scan down through the subject lines and then the address of the sender, if I don't reconize the address or the subject is not interesting, it is automatically deleted.
Pet peeve about the picture, AOL has released 8.0, why are they showing 7.0? AOL 8.0 on cd should be on its way to your house.
In the laboratory, a 10m range for the system has been confirmed, but NTT is expecting to try and extend the range to 100m.
Has anyone looked at the prototype they have in the picture? The transmitter and receiver are on the same table. Sure, I can understand 10gbps per sec over a few feet. They don't even know how this new technology will stand up in normal conditions. There is no way currently this will be used in mainstream. I don't know of anyone that is willing to sit within 10m of the transmitter to receive there wireless connection. I know this will be improved, but the distance will have to grow by leaps and bounds.
Yea, trasmitting 10gbps is nice, but currently what use is it if you can't go within a few feet of the transmitter?
I know of a friend who has had a phone line network for some years. Yes, there is a limited bandwitdh (about 10mbps), but that wasn't the biggest problem. The biggest problem this family had was cards getting burned out. Within the past year, there network has been down because the cards have burned out. You may be able to replace cards faster than they can, but you may still have that problem. I don't know of anyone that use power lines for a network, so I don't know of any of the specs.
I would recommend going wireless, buy some coax, and some pringles, and then have small relay station in the corner of the hallway. No holes needed. You'll just have to have the coax go in between the door and the door post. You won't sacrifice too much speed either. If you use a Y-jack, you should have a problem having relays to pass the signal.
But linux is also proven to reduce your processor heat as well. Its called two little assembaly opcodes that Linux uses.
EI Halt
This two little commands enable all interupts and then halt the processor (in that order). So while the box is doing nothing, the processor is also doing nothing, excepting waiting on some interupts to go back to work. Because the processor has halted and is doing absolutely nothing, it has time to cool down.
Windows, as far as I know, does not implement these opcodes, and I don't know excatly how they could get away with it. I guess that is how processors burn up. Maybe these opcodes help in the deduction of your power billsince the processor is no longer "active".
All opcodes are for the Z80, I do not know if they are the same for the x86 processors as well, but the theory is the same.
There is a limited distance with the remote (15 feet or so). Many times while I was playing with the car, I had to point the remote antenna directly at the car for it to move. I am assuming that the remote does not have alot of distance, since I expirenced this problem.
The turning on these cars is hard. With the small controls on the remote, it is hard to keep the car turning nicely.
Also, the motors in these cars do not have munch go. Me and a few friends tried to make the car go up a small ramp (very slow incline), and the car would not go. Upon trying it farther out, the car would still stop on this ramp.
These cars are fun, but do not try to do many stunts with them, or else they will not work that well. They do work wonders on a flat surface.
1)Did you ever work with Al Gore? (not really a question) 2)How would we tansmit (speeds, reliability, etc) from Mars to Earth? To me it seems that with solar flares and metors, reliability would be low. Also how will you be able to get a reliable test of connection from Earth to Mars? How would we test this connection without being on Mars?
Peterson recently drove down a major Washington street and found over 20 wireless networks, many of which had no security at all. Peterson said his probes are part of good police work, like a patrolman driving through a neighborhood.
I know of someone who drove downtown in my hometown and picked up many wireless networks. This included 4 laptops with pringle can antennas. Among one of these networks he noticed the name was the state Lottery, thats right, the lottery. As he looked up, he was passing the building for the state lottery. It is interesting to see how many open wireless networks that there are in a town.
He also informed one company of the open network (he knew the network admin) and immediatly lost his ip for that network.
Is it illegal to pick up the wireless network as you drive by, if you don't do anything with it? Or is it illegal to pick it up and browse the net or both?
Worst prediction: People would be talking to computers....Mr. Negroponte would welcome a breakthrough. "I've been wrong for a long time," he says.
Isn't there a program called something like ViaVoice? Doesn't Office XP come with Voice Reconigtion? Doesn't Mac OS 9 (I believe) have voice passwords? Don't people use it? I don't think this is a worst prediction. Yes, the reconigtion program isn't that great, but it is getting better and better. Where has this guy been living (and what computer has he been using) to say that he is wrong?
O, and btw, don't we all talk to computers even if we don't have voice reconigtion? "Come on, you can do it", "Stupid Windows", "Good job", "You stupid dimwit" are just some examples. This would be concidered talking to a computer. In light of that, talking to computers is done everyday almost by every person.
Each rover will photograph and return to Earth a picture of each DVD disk of names as they rest on the Martian surface.
Why is the rover taking a picture of the DVD as it rest on the Mars surface? Isn't there better things to take a picture of? Why is it littering Mars? How many DVD will each rover have? There is also no way to read the DVD of names through a picture unless the names are scratched onto the DVD. Interesting, but I don't want to be fined for littering Mars.
Assisted by an 11- meter (36-foot) diameter parachute, the spacecraft descended to the surface of Mars and landed, using airbags for the first time to cushion the impact....The spacecraft hit the ground at a speed of about 18 meters per second (40 miles per hour) and bounced about 16 times across the landscape before coming to a halt.
I am no "rocket scientist" but I do know that if you cushion a falling object by using airbags that it will bounce. I wonder if they took the gravitational pull of Mars and figured out the speed that the pathfinder would fall and then calculated how much "cushion" was needed to come to a safe landing.
I wonder if this falls into the catergory "What were they thinking?"
DHT is like having a file cabinet distributed over numerous servers
Is this DHT going to be decentralized so different servers are throughout the country? If so, would yahoo hold files for google? If it is this way, it sounds like my credit card data would be insecure. (Say a p0rn site is holding data for ebay)
Or is it more like a backup of the server that is in the same room? If it is this way, don't most organizations that host their own site have more than one server with the same data?
Man always wondered if the moon was made out of cheese. In 1969 man landed on the moon, and found out it was not cheese. Since then, no one has returned. Behold the power of cheese.

Spam is a blight on our high-tech civilization. Lawrence Lessig has an idea: force spammers who don't label their junk e-mail to pay $10,000 to the first recipient who finds them.
I don't know about you, but I don't have alot of time to hunt someone down. Yes the money is worth it, but the question would be to find them. A good hacker can use a laptop, and a pay phone and send out tons of spam and move on (to another state or pay phone). It will be extrememly hard to catch someone who is good at spamming people and doesn't want to get caught. So how can we catch them if they keep moving and send only a few emails to use? Its highly unlikely that from a few emails, someone could catch a spammer.
$10,000 would pay for my college bill though. O well.
If you do, then you'll (most likely) end up with the beta of Microsoft's latest DRM player (which youn can't easily get off XP), and you'll also have your settings changed so that your installation facilitates DRM, WMA format and pay per play. But don't worry, it didn't cost you anything.*
Doesn't this violate the Microsoft agreement? There has to be a way to take Windows Media Player off your computer. If I am correct, there should be a program to illimate the presence of Microsoft products (IE, and that sorts) from desktop/startup menu. The program should also illimate WMP from these areas as well. Does anyone know for sure if this breaks the Microsoft agreement?
UK Sunday Times newspaper unleashed a neat little trojan that'll upgrade you to Windows Media Player 9
I always thought trojans are bad. This is no exception. I wonder how long it will take McAfee and Norton to come out with a fix for this.
Seeing an airport base station handle all there network needs is interesting. Just 1 base station proves how much this can handle. Even though I don't know how good db are when it comes to usablity with wireless, still having 6db with a Dell TrueMobile laptop shows wonders. I am thinking that is still a few megs/sec. At least it gives users access from over 250 meters away (roughly 820 feet).
...scam the p0rn spammers into getting arrested? These are interesting articles, but I rarely get this types of emails. Must of the spam that I get (besides credit cards, home loans) are p0rn. I would like to see the p0rn spammers get scammed. Only if I knew of a way...
According to my universities handbook, "Guidelines for DVDs on campus are that any media which contains inappropriate language, nudity, gratuitous violence, etc. may not be viewed or possessed (including video tapes) in the residence halls or on campus.." Will this driver filter out all on wanted bad language. There are movies that I like to watch, Star Wars for example, but am unable to because it contains one or two swear words.
If this driver can do that, I wonder if we would be able to watch upto certain rated movies.
This would also be nice for families. If a parent doesn't want a child to view/hear certain parts of the DVD, this sounds like it will be able to bleep that part out. Sounds like this program may take off nicely.
There are now two people working against passport. Liberty Alliance and now Plan9. I am more than welcome for any compition. But it will still be diffucult to have all three work together. I know of people that use passport, but the question would be are they will to trust an open source project, and stuggle finding websites that use this sign on process?
Its a great idea, but all these will struggle until websites start to incorporate them for users to sign on.
The Liberty Alliance Project is an effort to establish a universal online authentication system that serves as an alternative to Microsoft's proprietary Passport online ID system. Both efforts have the same goal: let people surf the Web without having to constantly re-enter passwords, names and other data at different sites.
The question is will Liberty Alliance Project be more secure than passport. Wait, who am I asking? Of course it will be better in security than M$. Who isn't?
As the government's antitrust lawsuit winds down, Microsoft's next battle may be a knock-down, drag-out fight against Linux. Like Microsoft's Windows, Linux is a computer operating system, but written and updated by volunteer programmers in a communitarian spirit, and available for free. If Linux spreads, Microsoft could see the first real challenge to its dominance of the operating-system software market. For consumers, that would be good news.
Microsoft's critics charge that its dominance of the market -- more than 90 percent of home computers run on its software -- results in high prices and reduced choice. And outside programmers have long complained that Microsoft makes it hard for them to create software compatible with Windows-based computers.
The government's antitrust lawsuit was aimed at solving these problems. If it fails to do that -- a ruling on a proposed settlement is expected soon -- the best hope may be Linux. Since Linux software is free, hundreds of dollars could be cut off the price of a computer. No less important, since Linux's source code -- the intricacies of how it works -- is publicly available, programmers don't have to get permission or assistance from anyone.
There are promising signs that Linux, which has been around for years, may finally be taking off. More than two dozen countries -- including Germany and China -- have begun to encourage governmental agencies to use such "open source" software. In the home market, Wal-Mart has started selling a home computer called Lindows, which runs on Linux. Early reviews have been mixed, but its $199 price tag shows the savings Linux could deliver.
Linux may, still, have a rough road ahead. Its informality could be a liability for the sort of serious governmental and commercial projects for which it is now being considered. And, not surprisingly, Microsoft has been working to blunt the Linux threat.
Government units abroad and in the United States and individual computer users should look for ways to support Linux and Linux-based products. The competition it offers helps everyone.
the chipset will begin sampling in Q1-2003 and it will ship by the end of Q1-2003
With the lastest news about Intel including DRM into the next major processor release, it would be smart for AMD to grab hold of the QBM memory and to use it for their advantage. If AMD will grab hold of this memory and run (since Intel wants to drag its feet), it will have 4.2 gigs/sec bandwidth for memory. With the news about the Opteron coming out in Q1 of next year, this would be optimal for AMD.
The combination of the AMD Opteron x86-64 with QMB553 (4.2GB/s bandwidth) would make the issue of waiting on memory less noticable. It would be in the best intrest of AMD to take the QMB memory and run while Intel still drags its feet.
Make sure you read the Release Notes!!

Lindows 2.0.0 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
There are interesting release notes for 2.0
2.0 cannot install to a secondary slave drive yet - Can't get a new hard drive after Lindows is installed
Advanced Install options needs improvement in drive labeling and drive order - If you have more than one drive, good luck installing and setting up your drives
Due to problems it was causing, we had to turn off the "Restore session" option when rebooting. We'll work on getting this fixed and back in. - If it crashes, your out of luck
No support for DSL (PPPOE) - Well, there goes DSL users
As each of the trrailers came out for E2, I watch them. I enjoyed them all except for trailer that made it look like a love story. That trailer made me wonder how good the movie actually would be. It turned out that the movie did not have as much "love scenes" in it as I expected. I was also surprised how Anakin were married before any "relationship" took place. That is what I would like to see in more movies.
