Yeah, it might also help if you coated your rocket with a mirror surface so you don't get shot down by a laser beam. Someone might mistake you for an ICBM.

Book tracking is nothing new. Aside from people in the government using it to label dangerous people, some authors paranoid about intellectual property rights may try to use it, at least over the Internet, to track the sales of pre-owned books and try to extort royalties from the buyers of used books (okay, the legalities of this process are probably still in the works, but don't put it past them). They want to say that the selling of used books is more evil than the distribution of music over P2P networks, since at least there, the distributors don't make 'profits'. Give me a frickin' break.
Not to digress or anything, but I just saw this book at a local bookstore last week, and couldn't help but notice how expensive books are these days.
When it comes to technical matters, especially with wireless networking, what can be found in a book that can not be found on the Internet?
I don't doubt that the book may be good, but I just suppose that I'm a jaded outcast of the paper world and do not see the need to spend money on a book when I could get that info for free on the web, and then save the cash for other network hardware, since that isn't cheap either!
Do you think that could predict my driving patterns and tell me the next time I will most likely cause an accident? I think the focus should be more on prevention, but what the hell, they're Italian...
It's funny how no one has said anything about DVD burners. I've already managed to copy many DVD's _for my own personal backup_, so just imagine what one of those little buggers could do in the _wrong_ hands
That's interesting, but I still say that the user is solely liable for his data. I don't fully trust third-party encryption because anyone could have a master key or a back door, no one knows for sure what interests all go into things like this. The only safe way is to use your own homemade ciphers, assuming that you're not a total idiot.
8MB RAM? Hell yeah! I remember *octupling* my RAM to that amount, the full capacity;) My computer now is much the same way, running with one eighth of the total possible RAM, but I don't see myself going up to 2 gigs any time soon 8)
What language was it? If it were some simple instruction set, i.e. RISC or something simpler, it would not be surprising if half the class came up with the same code. Then again, with x86 generations, you have to wonder, although the incident still seems absurd.

Do they block Slashdot on their network there?

Ja nemam nista protiv Talijana, ali dok zivim u Americi, ista da se radi onde nije moja briga. :)

Obviously, money talks, but considering how ridiculous the claims are, do they really need to hire lawyers?
Hopefully the other good ideas that Apple has can be implemented on other platforms, and implemented well.
That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I ought to move to Colombia, since they never have any wars *cough*
I got booted from AIM using GAIM with Oscar. I have trouble with running Trillian under Linux, but I don't see what's so bad about Trillian itself.
Will it work with Trillian? www.trillian.cc AOL has been a prick lately about third-party clients...
how many deaths were caused by MacOS. What a shame.
Are these rats more agile than the remote controlled cars and crickets that they've already been doing this with?
It's only funny until it actually happens...
That's preposterous. So did hamburgers. Are you saying that a true American patriot cannot eat a hamburger?

Marconi is evil, as I refer to the one that assimilated FORE Technologies.

What's this? That guy visits Slashdot twice a day?! Keep an eye on him. He's DANGEROUS!
And once again, Slashdot scours the universe to find someone with way too much time on his hands. What could be behind such uncanny ability?
Good, you're right. That's exactly why I don't use Java :p
True. I suppose the binary search would be more or less directly dependent on the quick sort for any reasonable amount of efficiency
