...However, for public wireless LAN implementations that will connect to backend systems on GSM and GPRS networks, Schlumberger has developed a SIM card-based system (surprise!) that enables mutual authentication between the device and... ...
It's hardly "viral marketing" when you don't promote the product, but just mention that's its one of the solutions to the problem.
Raid 0 is not real Raid. That doubles the speed of data transfer, by using 2 HDD, and pretending its one. You probably need Raid 0+1, which has speed benefits, and redundancy. It means of course 4 HDD, all identical...
NOtice the hole punches and binder paper tears on the second scan - after 10+ years that kind of cheap paper would be starting to go yellow, and those hole puches would be flat, as whoever had that piece of paper would have had to store it somewhere, which would have over time flattened the bumps in the paper. Cute though.. heh:)
"Generally, CPU nowadays generates bigger and faster cycle-speed. From MHz to GHz, they have one thing in common, that is they produced a great amount of heat! Heatsink Companies correspond to this issue and are striving to produce a heatsink that could provide an adequate cooling while maintain the noise level as low as possible. One such company is Zalman, a company that strives to provide low noise, high performance heatsink with their very own patent, Computer Noise Prevention System and in short CNPS."
That has to be the worst paragraph I've read yet. Please people - learn to write right:).
Fair enough, but <I>"Company spokesman Jim Kassebaum said the computer equipment contained Social Security numbers, names, addresses, phone numbers and medical claim histories for beneficiaries in its 16-state central region, which includes Arizona. The company also acknowledged that a "few credit-card numbers were contained in the potentially compromised files.""</I> No mention of family, next of kin, etc. Sure you could use the address to threaten them, find out who lives there, who their family is, etc, but one could obtain that infomation easily without that database. I think the real problem is going to be fraud - having a CC, SSN, address, and phone number would be enough to fool a store into giving ya stuff online, creating a fake identity, and all that other nafarious stuff that script kiddies do.
This seems a very unlikely scenario. First of all, you wouldn't need a medical database to look up someone's next of kin - it's trivially easy to find it on the net. Secondly, it would normally be hard to carry out that threat - they'd have to infiltrate an army base to get at the family - might as well snatch some "top secret" papers instead; lot less touble, more reliable info, etc etc.
Come one... Who wouldn't want to know all that juicy data? Just think - blackmailing GI's who haven't got their latest TB shot... learning the secrets to healthcare in the military... The list goes on and on;)
I think he made a typo; He probably meant only 60 minutes, not 6 per gig. The reason I think this is that he compares it to WMP 9'c codec, which can do 1.5 Hrs / gig according to his article.
Not only that, but you risk damaging the monitor. If you try to discharge it that quickly you could do serious damage to it. Not to mention sticking 25kV into the grounds probably illegal:)
I agree. If anyone wants to do a bit of monitor modding, please PLEASE keep it off for about a week or so. The problem is that the CRT is basically a huge capacitor, storing something like 25,000 volts. Let the damn thing drain before taking it apart. Good luck:)
Is it just me, or are there devious motives behind this? I can just see it now...
RIAA "well, your honor, the defendents' primary argument for the use of illegal programs such as kazaa was that it was more convenient to download than to buy CD's. But look, we've provided them with an option to pay for the songs, and suddenly, no one seems so willing to pay for them. This PROVES Kazaa et al are helping criminals thrive!"
Nope. Evolution is about survival of the fittest. The more profound cases of autism include self-destructive behaviors, such as repeately banging one's head on a wall, etc.
We're talking energy density here; ie, one could have a smaller battery with a higher energy density compared with today's batteries, or we could keep the size of today's batteries, and just increase the density, and therby increase the life of it. Geddit;) (Sorry about the double post)
Sure its another CD format, but the bait that they plan on using to lure conumers is the improvements that SACD has over the traditional format, such as 5.1 souround sound. That is pretty cool, admit it:).
Nonsense.
If you're using the UPGRADE version of windows, sure, you'll need the CD, but often it allows you just insert the previous version of windows, and continue installtion. Also, windows update is an incredibly usefull resource. You let it scan your PC, and you download all the patches in a bundle, with no user intervention needed.

Is it just me or do the slackware guys need some tips in product marketing? this is just not that appealing :)
No kidding - its like the saying "democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding whats for dinner" :)
- in this case the lamb didn't get a say at all

Dude - a question needs to have a "?" at the end of it to qualify in my book as a "question". ;)

Off topic I know... Do you know where you can buy Ultra brights in bulk? I dont want to spend hundreds of dollars to get 500 LED's.

Makes sense to me.
