"...Revolutions takes a different approach. Its depth and philosophical richness comes in the strength of its visual metaphors and an intriguing storyline pulling on everything from the Bible to The Wizard of Oz, grounding the story in cultural identification and modern mythmaking."
No, I haven't seen it yet - but I found this comment amusing since it was almost identical to a description of Matrix I that was told to me when it came out. For example:
Trinity: In most Christian faiths, the union of three divine persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in one God.
Morpheus: (classical mythology) the god of sleep and dreams..
How far down does the rabbit hole go?
...and the list goes on. The first Matrix had amazing depth that was easy to be distracted from by the overall power of the movie.. I guess I'll have to see it for myself to understand how Revolutions can be described as different for having this "depth and philosophical richness".
The system would include an on-board database of the GPS coordinates of the no-fly zones.
Hrmm.. What would happen if someone were to replace this database with a new one that only allows you to fly in the air-space over a city - but not back to the airport.
Hey! You can't do that! I'll cleanly exit your session and use the honor system to ensure you don't start it again! Take that, you icky poopoo-head hacker-guy! I sure wish I had a "Linux IPTables based firewall/router" so I could keep you from... - oh wait... never mind.
http://www.cnckits.com - This is a site a friend has that's geared towards hooking up robotics and other machinery to standard computer equipment. Most of the same hardware could likley be applied to hooking up the glow-ball.
An attacker can boot up XP and start the Windows 2000 Recovery Console which allows them to operate as any user, even Administrator, without requiring them to enter a password.
And now that it's been/.'ed - Even your 12 year-old kid can do it! Should we tell them about that jumper to bypass the CMOS password while were at it? hehe - Am I the only one that misses the "good old days" when security holes were only known by a select few nerds?
Come to think of it... Marking off a section on the bottom-side of the glass, and etching it, would make for an interesting solution if done nicely. Heck - it might even work! (Sorry, I left my Physics PHD in my other pants)
Have you ever looked at what SlashCode is written in (http://slashcode.com/)? As I type this, I see a nice little "comments.pl" in my URL that suggests Perl is still alive and well.
I know I use them (BurntMail)... Last I checked, a lot of the big-guys still use them as well (Cisco, RedHat, Microsoft, Mandrake, and SourceForge for example)
We actually did something like that "back in the day" using an old recliner while playing Doom.. The effect was there but the recliner only lasted about a week before the arms fell off:)
We use Tomcat at the company I work for (~55k users).. Our Tomcat 4 servers (Tomcat/Apache combo) have always had a flakey feel to them and seemed slower than they should be (bad enough that I have a cron in place to restart one of them when it dies on me). The previous Tomcat 3 versions were not so bad but just don't meet the requirements any more.. I'm currently replacing the systems with new ones running Resin - Testing Resin has so-far proven to be positive (very fast/easy to configure - integrates well with Apache).
...So there they were - sitting around the controll center, enjoying their coffee, when all the screens turned blue displaying the error "General Guidance Fault".

*sigh*
...Or just wait for a few people to get it and throw it up on the fasttrack/gnutella networks. Not that hard to get anything, these days..

Stop doing that or you'll go blind!
