Yes and no. You can't patent "a search engine", only parts of it. Only specific techniques and algorithms are patentable (or at least that's how patents are supposed to work). Google's patented PageRank for example.
It allows any FOAF / xml based backend login mechanism to be used to log into any Drupal site. It's simple, based on existing standards, and already works. Why not use this instead of vaporware / brokenware?
FYI, Drupal is the base code for Howard Dean's websites.
Can't read the Jap, but from other comments I gather it's a post fallout world with androids who want to conquer the world, and a cyborg who helped create the androids wanting to save it.
Just watch the trailer, the eery graphics is SUPERB. The interweaving of live action into anime is intriguing, and from just the trailer I can already get a sense of the style and mood of the movie, with a strong feel of Dune (future tech + medieval setting).
I will certainly want to see this in theater, if it's not Japan only. I'm in Canada.
PS. The trailer seems to be surviving./ pretty well, i'll post a BitTorrent link if it goes (or anyone can on the site in my sig, post it under the Releases)
So what's the difference between this and the "push technologies" MS invented and failed? I personally would not like things downloaded without me know what is being downloaded. I prefer _real_ content on demand, as in I finding what I want and download those and only those.
If you want something, you search for it (in the web domain at least). This is why I made the search engine in my sig.
As for an RSS interface so you don't have to micomanage all the little.torrent files, that's a valid point. I have suggested to the BT mail list in support of a torrent-less hash linking protocol, but was pretty much turned down due to technical difficulties and lack of interest. But this is just a interface problem, and doesn't have to solved by using RSS. I see RSS more suited to delivering text news, which is what it was created for.
If there isn't a torrent file on the conent provider's page, where do you look?
You use a search engine, like the one in my sig..torrent's are just links. Should the web be accessed from a single giant portal? No. People use search engines.
Personally, I don't see a big practical use for RSS + BT. It's more like a buzzword orgy to me. No offence intended.
I was in HK elementary school, and I remembered the day the cops did their speech along with the cute robot. There were trivia games, and I remembered I got some duotangs and goodies. Those were the days ^.^
I think things like these are great. Real human sized robots really catches attention of kids and leave a lasting impression. This should be an example for all to follow: the deeper an impression you leave, the more effective you are in educating and getting your point across.
This is cool news. I switched to Roger AT&T on my cell and i kinda regret it, with the Fido $40 / month unlimited cell plan.
And although the promised wireless internet speed seems to be somewhat less than my current cable broadband, the portability would make many drool. If you can carry the modem around easily with your laptop that is. That is its selling point (the price isn't cheap)
I don't think people would care about it as long as it isn't overly restricting or inconvenient. Not too many people complain about Apple's DRM due to this reason. Do the contrary, and a lot more people will be using the pirate networks. On the internet, Quality of service is more important than restrictions that will eventually be cracked.
When fair use is outlawed, outlaws will practice more than just fair use.
This article is revealing of a future I envision, where P2P is not seen as a pirate's haven, but a tool for highly efficient delivery and marketing of digital media. I don't need to explain this to./ers, but imagine set-top PC's (or Media Centers as MS likes to call them) communicating and sharing music / movies / TV eps with each other, like how you send IM / email messages to friends and family.
The lines between fair use and "piracy" would be thin in this scenario, but I don't think most people want to steal if you give them a choice that is more convenient and higher service quality than the pirate networks can offer.
And BitTorrent will be the perfect use for this: legitimate content distribution, which is exactly what it was designed for. I have some plans for projects toward this vision, I will be putting up a website that outline my ideas but I just don't have time for it yet.
I haven't used this but using this to loop back as a local filesystem, you should be able to access the latest snapshot transparently. Saves time on checkouts ^.^
Apart from the addition of the god-awful GNOME desktop
Don't know if your flaimbait was intentional or not, but you should have at least elaborated on why it's "god-awful". In my opinion, Gnome is far less awful than CDE. And although it is less feature-rich and configurable than KDE, its behaviour seems more consistent. That is what businesses and Solaris' market wants. Assuming that KDE is your awe inspiring desktop of course.
Sun's move from CDE to Gnome is a good move, if not from Solaris to Linux completely.
This is what Valve's Steam content distribution and gaming system is heading towards. I gives you a friends list (like icq), lets you voice chat in game and IM across games (Valve supported ones), and does automatic patching with anti-cheat updates.
A similar 3rd party system for non-Valve games would be cool and useful. Especially the extension to the real market for MMORPG's.
I understand the stupidity of de-orbiting Hubble, and I do think NASA should extend its life a little longer by doing the service mission. But don't you think all the sentimental slashdot comments is a little too sentimental? Just maybe Hubble is getting old, and it's time to put up a new telescope for replacement (hopefully or eventually)?
Sun has also added a new security tool with Solaris Privileges. This lets the root user create sub roots that can have permission, for example, to patch applications but not to touch hardware components.
Offshore was about global wealth creation and integrating economies, she explained, adding that it would create more high-value jobs in the US than people could imagine today
So we are going to get more CEOs and less "lowly programmers"?
I'm Canadian btw, but we all know it's just another economically annexed state.
Azureus has an IP filter, which I believe allows you to import PeerGuardian's block list. You can't completely trust any block list of course, I can be working for RIAA for all you know.
Frankly, Bittorrent++'s GUI is too slow for my taste, and I don't think it's based on the latest BT protocol. These are BT clients I recommend:
BitComet (limit to 1 port, for minimal internet browsing slowdown. But that prob. is why it doesn't have to fastest download performance, although you may have good mileage with a bit of tweaking)
TheShadow's (one of the oldest "experimental" implementation, a mod of the official BT client with useful featrues)
Slashdot Mirror
I'm considering a 15" PowerBook, but lack of a hardware scroller is a show stopper. I don't want external mouse on the go.
Apple: I can live without a 2nd mouse button, but please add a scroller?

Indeed. Technical / ideal merits alone won't do this justice. To make this used in practice, politicians need to know this.
Does other more established and related lobby groups know this, who can possibly help with PR? How about EFF?

so by "direct, local access", you mean svn bundles access to the bkdb directly through mounting as filesystem?

Wonder how long before it's cracked? This is going to bring a whole new meaning to Screeners ^.^
Can someone comment on the security and encryption of WMV9?

thanks, I had trouble with CHROOT and this would seem like a very nice way to do virtual serving.
